2 Samuel 23
1 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,
Dette er Davids siste ord: «So lyder ordi frå David, Isaisonen, so lyder ordi frå mannen som vart upphøgd, han som Jakobs Gud hev salva, Israels ljuvlege songmeister:
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
Herrens Ande hev tala i meg, ordi hans er på tunga mi.
3 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.
Israels Gud hev tala so, Israels berg hev sagt til meg: Den som råder og gjer rett millom menn, den som rikjer i otte for Gud;
4 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.
han likjest på dagsprett når soli renn, ein morgon forutan skyer, når graset grønkast i sol etter regn.
5 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.
Er det’kje so med mitt hus hjå Gud? Han gjorde ævelegt samband med meg, feste og trygde meg heilt og fullt. Ja, alt som vert meg til frelsa og gleda, det let han visseleg veksa åt meg.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
Men uvyrdor likjest alle på utkasta tornar, ein vil ikkje taka i deim med hender.
7 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.
Lyt ein røra deim væpnar ein seg med jarn og med spjotskaft; so set ein eld på deim og brenner deim på flekken.»
8 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 the same.
Dette er namni på dei djervaste stridsmennerne åt David: Joseb-Bassebet, tahkmoniten, den fremste av kjemporne, han som svinga spjotet yver åtte hundrad falne på ein gong.
9 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:
Næst honom kom Eleazar, son åt Dodi, son åt ein ahohit. Han var ein av dei tri stridsmennerne som var med David, då filistarane samla seg til strid og svivyrde deim då Israels-mennerne drog seg attende.
10 He arose, and stroke the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
Men han heldt stand og hogg laust på filistarane, til dess handi hans trøytna, so ho trena i hop kring sverdet. Og Herren gav ein stor siger den dagen. Etterpå hadde folket berre å snu um og fylgja med honom og plundra.
11 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.
Næst honom kom Samma, son åt Age, ein hararit. Ein gong stemnde filistarane i hop og vart til ein heil flokk. Der var ein åkerteig full av linsor. Folket rømde for filistarane.
12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
Då tok han post midt på åkerteigen og verna honom, og slo filistarane. Herren gav ein stor siger.
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 pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
Ein gong drog tri av dei tretti fremste kararne ned, og kom i skurdonni til David i Adullams-helleren, medan ein filistarflokk låg i læger i Refa’imsdalen.
14 And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
David var då i fjellborgi, samstundes med at ein filistarpost låg i Betlehem.
15 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!
David fekk slik hug og sagde: «Gjev einkvan vilde gjeva meg vatn å drikka frå brunnen ved byporten i Betlehem!»
16 And the three mighty men brake 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 unto the LORD.
Då braut dei tri stridsmennerne seg gjenom filistarlægret, auste vatn or brunnen ved byporten i Betlehem og bar det til David. Men han vilde ikkje drikka det, men helte det ut for Herren.
17 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.
For han sagde: «Aldri i verdi, Herre, vil eg gjera dette! Skulde eg drikka blodet av dei mennerne som gjekk av stad og våga livet sitt?» Og han vilde ikkje drikka det. - Sovore hadde dei tri stridsmennerne gjort.
18 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.
Abisai, bror åt Joab Serujason, var den fremste av tri andre. Ein gong svinga han spjotet sitt yver tri hundrad falne. Han hadde eit stort namn millom dei tri;
19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: nevertheless he attained not unto the first three.
han var visseleg meir vyrd enn nokon annan i dette trimannslaget; og han var hovding yver dei hine. Men upp til dei tri fyrste nådde han ikkje.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
Benaja Jojadason var son til ein djerv og dådrik mann frå Kabse’el. Han slo dei tvo Ariel i Moab. Det var han som steig ned ein snøversdag og drap løva i brunnen.
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.
Han drap og den egyptaren som var so sjåleg. Endå egyptaren hadde spjot i hand, gjekk han på honom berre med ein stav. Han reiv spjotet ut or handi på egyptaren og drap honom med hans eige spjot.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
Sovore hadde Benaja Jojadason gjort. Han hadde eit stort namn millom dei tri stridsmennerne.
23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
Han var meir vyrd enn nokon av dei tretti. Men upp til dei tri nådde han ikkje. David sette honom inn i livvakti si.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
