2 Samuelsboken 23
1 Dessa äro de sista Davids ord; David, Isai son, sade: Den mannen sadet, som för en Jacobs Guds smord uppsätter är, och en lustig Israels diktare.
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man whom God raised up, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Herrans Ande hafver talat genom mig, och hans ord är skedt genom mina tungo.
"The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Israels Gud hafver talat till mig; Israels tröst hafver mig tillsagt, den der råder öfver menniskorna, den rättvise rådanden i Guds fruktan;
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 Såsom ljuset är om morgonen, då solen uppgår bittida, utan moln; och af skenet efter regn växer gräs upp af jordene.
shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.'
5 Ty ingen ting är för Gudi såsom mitt hus; ty han hafver gjort ett evigt förbund med mig, i alla måtto visst och fast; ty det är all min salighet, och all lust, att intet så växa skall.
Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn't make it grow.
6 Men den ogudaktige Belial skall varda alldeles utrotad såsom törne, så att man intet behåller deraf.
But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
7 Och om någor antastar dem, skola de med jern och spets platt förderfva dem; och man skall uppbränna dem med eld i deras rum.
But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place."
8 Desse äro namnen af Davids hjeltar: Jasabeam, Hachmoni son, den ypperste ibland tre; hvilken upphof sin spets, och slog ihjäl åttahundrad i ena reso.
These are the names of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.
9 Näst honom var Eleazar, Dodi son, Ahohi sons, ibland de tre hjeltar med David, då de förhädde de Philisteer, och voro der församlade till strid, och Israels män drogo upp.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
10 Då stod han, och slog de Philisteer, tilldess hans hand dofnade, trött af svärdena. Och Herren gaf en stor salighet på den tiden, så att folket vände om igen efter honom till att röfva.
He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
11 Efter honom var Samma, Age son, den Hararitens. Då de Philisteer församlade sig i en rota, och der var en åker full med linse, och folket flydde för de Philisteer;
After him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Då trädde han midt uppå den åkren, och undsatte honom, och slog de Philisteer; och Herren gaf en stor salighet.
But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Och desse tre ypperste ibland tretio kommo neder i andene, till David uti kulona Adullam; och de Philisteers rote låg i Rephaims dal.
And three of the Thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
14 Men David var på den tiden på borgene; och de Philisteers folk låg i BethLehem.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Och David vardt lysten och sade: Ho vill hemta mig dricka af det vatten i BethLehems brunn, under portenom?
And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."
16 Då föllo de tre hjeltar in uti de Philisteers lägre, och hemtade vatten utu brunnenom i BethLehem, under porten, och båro till David; men han ville intet dricka det, utan utgöt det Herranom;
The Three warriors broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
17 Och sade: Det låte Herren vara långt ifrå mig, att jag detta göra skulle; är det icke de mäns blod, som sitt lif vågade, och gingo dit? Och han ville icke drickat. Det gjorde nu de tre hjeltar.
He said, "Far be it from me, LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
18 Abisai, Joabs broder, ZeruJa son, var ock en ypperst ibland tre. Han hof sin spets upp, och slog trehundrad, och var också prisad ibland tre;
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
19 Och den härligaste ibland tre och var deras öfverste; men han kom icke intill de tre.
He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.
20 Och Benaja, Jojada son, IsHails sons af storom gerningom, af Kabzeel, han slog tu de Moabiters lejon, och gick ned, och slog ett lejon i brunnenom i snötiden;
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
21 Och slog desslikes en grufvelig Egyptisk man; den hade en spets i sine hand; men han gick neder till honom med en staf, och tog den Egyptien spetsen utu handene, och slog honom ihjäl med sin egen spets.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 Detta gjorde Benaja, Jojada son, och var beprisad ibland de tre hjeltar;
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
23 Och härligare än de tretio; men han kom icke till de tre. Och David gjorde honom till sitt hemliga Råd.
He was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
