2 Samuel 23
1 Torej to so zadnje Davidove besede. Jesejev sin David je rekel in mož, ki je bil vzdignjen na visoko, maziljenec Jakobovega Boga in prijeten Izraelov psalmist, je rekel:
David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
2 » Gospodov Duh je govoril po meni in njegova beseda je bila na mojem jeziku.
“The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
3 Izraelov Bog je rekel: ›Izraelova skala mi je spregovorila: ›Kdor vlada nad ljudmi, mora biti pravičen, vladajoč v strahu Božjem.‹‹
God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
4 In on bo kakor svetloba jutra, ko vzhaja sonce, celó brezoblačno jutro, kakor nežna trava, ki poganja iz zemlje, s čistim sijanjem po dežju.
They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
5 Čeprav moja hiša ni takšna z Bogom, vendar je z menoj sklenil večno zavezo, urejeno v vseh stvareh in zanesljivo. Kajti to je vsa moja rešitev duše in vsa moja želja, čeprav ji on ne daje rasti.
And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
6 Toda Beliálovi sinovi bodo vsi izmed njih kakor zavrženo trnje, ker ne morejo biti prijeti z rokami,
But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
7 toda človek, ki se jih bo dotaknil, mora biti ograjen z železom in palico sulice, in na istem kraju bodo popolnoma požgani z ognjem.«
Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
8 To so imena mogočnih mož, ki jih je imel David: Tahkemoníjec, ki je sedel na sedežu, glavni izmed poveljnikov; enak je bil Ezničan Adino. Svojo sulico je vzdignil proti osemstotim, ki jih je enkrat pobil.
These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
9 Za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodója, Ahóahovca, z Davidom eden izmed treh mogočnih mož, ko so izzivali Filistejce, ki so bili tam skupaj zbrani za boj in Izraelovi možje so odšli proč.
The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
10 Ta je vstal in udarjal Filistejce, dokler njegova roka ni bila izmučena in se je njegova roka trdno oklenila meča in Gospod je tisti dan izvršil veliko zmago in ljudstvo se je vrnilo za njim, [vendar] samo da plenijo.
but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
11 Za njim je bil Šamá, sin Hararéjca Agaja. Filistejci so bili skupaj zbrani v krdelo, kjer je bil kos polja poln leče in ljudstvo je pobegnilo pred Filistejci.
The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
12 Toda on je stal na sredi polja in ga obranil in pobil Filistejce, in Gospod je izvršil veliko zmago.
but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
13 Trije izmed tridesetih vodij so odšli dol in prišli k Davidu v času žetve, k votlini Adulám, in krdelo Filistejcev je taborilo v dolini Rafájim.
Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
14 David je bil takrat v utrdbi in garnizija Filistejcev je bila takrat v Betlehemu.
David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
15 David je hrepenel in rekel: »Oh, da bi mi nekdo dal piti od vode betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je pri velikih vratih!«
[One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
16 Trije mogočni možje so predrli vojsko Filistejcev in zajeli vodo iz betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je bil pri velikih vratih in jo vzeli ter jo prinesli k Davidu, pa vendar ni hotel piti od nje, temveč jo je izlil Gospodu.
So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
17 Rekel je: »Daleč naj bo od mene, oh Gospod, da bi to storil. Mar ni to kri mož, ki so šli v nevarnosti za svoja življenja?« Zato tega ni hotel piti. Te stvari so storili ti trije mogočni možje.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
18 Abišáj, Joábov brat, Cerújin sin, je bil vodja med tremi. Svojo sulico je dvignil proti tristotim in jih pobil in imel je ime med tremi.
Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
19 Mar ni bil on najbolj častitljiv izmed treh? Zato je bil njihov poveljnik, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel.
He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
20 Jojadájev sin Benajá, sin hrabrega moža iz Kabceéla, ki je storil mnogo dejanj, je usmrtil dva, levom podobna moža iz Moába. Odšel je tudi dol in ubil leva v sredi jame v času snega.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
21 Ubil je Egipčana, čednega moža. Egipčan je imel v svoji roki sulico, toda dol k njemu je šel s palico in iztrgal sulico iz Egipčanove roke in ga ubil z njegovo lastno sulico.
He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
22 Te stvari je storil Jojadájev sin Benajá in imel je ime med tremi mogočnimi možmi.
Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
23 Bil je častitljivejši od tridesetih, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel. In David ga je postavil nad svojo stražo.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
