1 Krönikeboken 11
1 Och hele Israel samlade sig: till David i Hebron, och sade: Si, vi äre ditt ben och ditt kött.
Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
2 Och tillförene, medan Saul var Konung, förde du Israel ut och in; så hafver ock Herren din Gud sagt till dig: Du skall föda mitt folk Israel, och du skall vara en Förste öfver mitt folk Israel.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Kommo också alle Israels äldste till Konungen i Hebron. Och David gjorde ett förbund med dem i Hebron för Herranom. Och de smorde David till Konung öfver Israel, efter Herrans ord, genom Samuel.
So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
4 Och David drog åstad, och hele Israel, till Jerusalem, det är Jebus; ty de Jebuseer bodde i landena.
David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
5 Och de borgare i Jebus sade till David: Du skall icke komma härin. Men David vann den borgen Zion, det är Davids stad.
Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
6 Och David sade: Den som de Jebuseer först slår, han skall vara hufvud och öfverste. Då steg Joab, ZeruJa son, först upp, och vardt höfvitsmän.
[What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
7 Och David bodde på borgene; deraf kallar man henne Davids stad.
[After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
8 Och han byggde staden omkring, ifrå Millo och sedan allt omkring; och Joab lät lefva dem som qvare voro i stadenom.
David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
9 Och David hade framgång, och kom sig före; och Herren Zebaoth var med honom.
David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
10 Desse äro de öfverste ibland Davids väldiga, de der manliga höllo med honom i hans rike, när hela Israel, så att man gjorde honom till Konung, efter Herrans ord, öfver Israel.
Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
11 Och detta är talet på Davids väldiga män: Jasabeam, Hachmoni son, den ypperste ibland tretio; han hof sin spets upp, och slog trehundrad i en gång.
This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
12 Näst honom var Eleazar, Dodo son, den Ahohiten, och han var ibland de tre väldiga.
Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
13 Denne var med David, då de talade hädelse, och de Philisteer sig der församlat hade till strid; och var ett stycke åker fullt med bjugg, och folket flydde för de Philisteer.
[One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
14 Och de trädde midt uppå åkerstycket, och undsatte det, och slogo de Philisteer; och Herren gaf en stor salighet.
but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
15 Och de tre utaf de yppersta tretio drogo neder till bergshällen till David, i den kulona Adullam; men de Philisteers lägre var i Rephaims dal.
One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
16 Och David var i borgene; och de Philisteers folk var på den tid i BethLehem.
David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
17 Och David fick lusta, och sade: Ho vill gifva mig dricka af det vattnet i den brunnen i BethLehem, under portenom?
[One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
18 Då slogo desse tre genom de Philisteers lägre, och hemtade vatten utu brunnen i BethLehem, under portenom, och båro till David. Men han ville icke drickat, utan utgöt det Herranom;
So those three most outstanding 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 to be an offering] to Yahweh.
19 Och sade: Det låte Gud vara långt ifrå mig, att jag detta göra skulle, och dricka dessa mäns blod i deras lifsfara; förty de hafva det hemtat med sins lifs fara; derföre ville han icke drickat. Det gjorde de tre hjeltar.
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 most outstanding warriors did.
20 Abisai, Joabs broder, han var den ypperste ibland tre, och han hof sin spets upp, och slog trehundrad, och han var beprisad ibland tre.
Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
21 Och han den tredje härligare än de två, och var deras öfverste; men till de tre kom han icke.
So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
22 Benaja, Jojada son, IsHails sons, den mycket bedrifvit hade, af Kabzeel, han slog tu de Moabiters lejon; och gick neder, och slog ett lejon midt i brunnenom i snötiden.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
23 Han slog ock en Egyptisk man; han var fem alnar lång, och hade en spets i handene såsom ett väfträ; men han gick ned till honom med en staf, och tog honom spetsen utu handene, och drap honom med hans egen spets.
He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
24 Det gjorde Benaja, Jojada son, och vardt beprisad ibland tre hjeltar;
Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
25 Och var den härligaste ibland tretio; men till de tre kom han icke; honom gjorde David till sitt hemliga råd.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
