2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David: The saying of David the son of Jesse, and the saying of the man raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
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:
2 The spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and His word was upon my tongue.
» Gospodov Duh je govoril po meni in njegova beseda je bila na mojem jeziku.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: 'Ruler over men shall be the righteous, even he that ruleth in the fear of God,
Izraelov Bog je rekel: ›Izraelova skala mi je spregovorila: ›Kdor vlada nad ljudmi, mora biti pravičen, vladajoč v strahu Božjem.‹‹
4 And as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds; when through clear shining after rain, the tender grass springeth out of the earth.'
In on bo kakor svetloba jutra, ko vzhaja sonce, celó brezoblačno jutro, kakor nežna trava, ki poganja iz zemlje, s čistim sijanjem po dežju.
5 For is not my house established with God? for an everlasting covenant He hath made with me, ordered in all things, and sure; for all my salvation, and all my desire, will he not make it to grow?
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.
6 But the ungodly, they are as thorns thrust away, all of them, for they cannot be taken with the hand;
Toda Beliálovi sinovi bodo vsi izmed njih kakor zavrženo trnje, ker ne morejo biti prijeti z rokami,
7 But the man that toucheth them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
toda človek, ki se jih bo dotaknil, mora biti ograjen z železom in palico sulice, in na istem kraju bodo popolnoma požgani z ognjem.«
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite; he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
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.
9 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they jeoparded their lives against the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away;
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.
10 he stood firm, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.
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.
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Ararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
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.
12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory.
Toda on je stal na sredi polja in ga obranil in pobil Filistejce, in Gospod je izvršil veliko zmago.
13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
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.
14 And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
David je bil takrat v utrdbi in garnizija Filistejcev je bila takrat v Betlehemu.
15 And David longed, and said: 'Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!'
David je hrepenel in rekel: »Oh, da bi mi nekdo dal piti od vode betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je pri velikih vratih!«
16 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
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.
17 And he said: 'Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this; shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?' therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
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.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
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.
19 He was most honourable of the three; therefore he was made their captain; howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
Mar ni bil on najbolj častitljiv izmed treh? Zato je bil njihov poveljnik, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he smote the two altar-hearths of Moab; he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow;
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.
21 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.
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.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
Te stvari je storil Jojadájev sin Benajá in imel je ime med tremi mogočnimi možmi.
23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
Bil je častitljivejši od tridesetih, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel. In David ga je postavil nad svojo stražo.
