2 Samuel 23
1 Og disse ere de sidste Davids Ord: Saa sagde David, Isajs Søn, og saa sagde den Mand, som er højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds Salvede, og lystelig ved Israels Salmer:
Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 Herrens Aand talede ved mig, og hans Tale er paa min Tunge.
The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 Israels Gud sagde, til mig talede Israels Klippe: Der skal være en, som hersker iblandt Menneskene, en retfærdig, en, som hersker i Guds Frygt,
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 og som Lys om Morgenen, naar Solen opgaar, om Morgenen, naar der ikke ere Skyer, naar Græsset vokser af Jorden ved Solskin efter Regnen.
And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
5 Thi staar mit Hus sig ikke saa med Gud? thi han har sat mig en evig Pagt, som er ordentligt beskikket i alle Maader og bevaret; thi al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ej lade den spire frem?
Although my house be not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 Men Belials Børn, de skulle alle sammen være som Torne, der udkastes; thi de kunne ikke tages med Haand.
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 Men hver, som vil røre ved dem, maa være forsynet med Jern og Spydstage; og de skulle opbrændes med Ild, hvor de bo.
But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
8 Disse ere Navnene paa de vældige, som hørte David til: Joseb-Basebeth Takmoni var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, han svingede sin Lanse imod otte Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne paa een Gang.
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
9 Og efter ham var Eleasar, en Søn af Dodo, som var en Søn af Ahohi; han var iblandt de tre vældige med David, da de forhaanede Filisterne, som der vare forsamlede til Strid, medens Israels Mænd droge op.
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
10 Han stod op og slog Filisterne, indtil hans Haand blev træt, og hans Haand hang fast ved Sværdet, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse paa den samme Dag; og Folket vendte tilbage efter ham kun for at udplyndre de ihjelslagne.
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword: and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
11 Og efter ham var Arariteren Samma, Ages Søn; da Filisterne vare forsamlede i en Hob, da var der sammesteds et Stykke Land fuldt med Linser, og Folket flyede for Filisternes Ansigt,
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 og han stillede sig midt paa dette Stykke og friede det og slog Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.
But he stood in the middle of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Og tre af de tredive ypperste gik ned og kom om Høsten til David til Hulen ved Adullam, og Filisternes Hob havde lejret sig i Refaims Dal.
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Og David var da i Befæstningen; men Filisternes Befæstning var da i Bethlehem.
And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Og David fik Lyst og sagde: Hvo vil give mig Vand at drikke af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er ved Porten?
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
16 Da brøde de tre vældige ind i Filisternes Lejr og droge Vand af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er i Porten, og de bare og førte det til David; men han vilde ikke drikke deraf, men udøste det for Herren.
And the three mighty men broke through the host 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: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out to the LORD.
17 Og han sagde: Det være langt fra mig, o Herre! at jeg skulde gøre dette! er det ikke de Mænds Blod, som gik derhen med Livsfare? Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Dette gjorde de tre vældige.
And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
18 Og Abisaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, og han opløftede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne; og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.
19 Var han ikke herligere end de tre? og han var deres Øverste; men han naaede ikke de tre.
Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: however, he attained not to the first three.
20 Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en stridbar Mands Søn, stor i Gerninger, fra Kabzeel; han slog to Løvehelte af Moabiterne, og han gik ned og slog en Løve midt i en Brønd en Dag, da der var Sne.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lion like men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the middle of a pit in time of snow:
21 Og han slog en ægyptisk Mand, som var anselig, og den Ægypter havde et Spyd i sin Haand; men han gik ned til ham med en Kæp, og han rykkede Spydet af Ægypterens Haand og slog ham ihjel med hans eget Spyd.
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 Disse Ting gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige,
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
23 herligere end de tredive, men han naaede ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
