I Paralipomenon 11
1 Congregatus est igitur omnis Israel ad David in Hebron, dicens: Os tuum sumus, et caro tua.
Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Heri quoque, et nudiustertius cum adhuc regnaret Saul, tu eras qui educebas, et introducebas Israel: tibi enim dixit Dominus Deus tuus: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris princeps super eum.
In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule over my people Israel.'"
3 Venerunt ergo omnes maiores natu Israel ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis foedus coram Domino: unxeruntque eum regem super Israel, iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu Samuel.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4 Abiit quoque David, et omnis Israel in Ierusalem. haec est Iebus, ubi erant Iebusaei habitatores terrae.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 Dixeruntque qui habitabant in Iebus ad David: Non ingredieris huc. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quae est Civitas David,
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.
6 dixitque: Omnis qui percusserit Iebusaeum in primis, erit princeps et dux. Ascendit igitur primus Ioab filius Sarviae, et factus est princeps.
David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7 Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est Civitas David.
David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.
8 Aedificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum, Ioab autem reliqua urbis extruxit.
He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo.
David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
10 Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adiuverunt eum ut rex fieret super omnem Israel iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ad Israel.
Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11 Et iste numerus robustorum David: Iesbaam filius Hachamoni princeps inter triginta: iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos vulneratos una vice.
This is the number of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of a Hachmoni, leader of the Three. And he wielded his spear against eight hundred and killed them at one time.
12 Et post eum Eleazar filius patrui eius Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the Three warriors.
13 Iste fuit cum David in Phesdomim, quando Philisthiim congregati sunt ad locum illum in praelium: et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum.
He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 Hi steterunt in medio agri, et defenderunt eum: cumque percussissent Philisthaeos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo.
And he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
15 Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthiim fuerant castrametati in Valle raphaim.
And three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Porro David erat in praesidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem.
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
17 Desideravit igitur David, et dixit: O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae est in porta.
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."
18 Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet: qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino,
The Three 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 David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
19 dicens: Absit ut in conspectu Dei mei hoc faciam, et sanguinem istorum virorum bibam: quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere. haec fecerunt tres robustissimi.
and said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
20 Abisai quoque frater Ioab ipse erat princeps trium, et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos vulneratos, et ipse erat inter tres nominatissimus,
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
21 et inter tres secundus inclytus, et princeps eorum: verumtamen usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.
He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.
22 Banaias filius Ioiadae viri robustissimi, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos ariel Moab: et ipse descendit, et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
23 Et ipse percussit virum Aegyptium, cuius statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium: descendit igitur ad eum cum virga, et rapuit hastam, quam tenebat manu. et interfecit eum hasta sua.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and 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.
24 Haec fecit Banaias filius Ioiadae, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatissimus,
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
25 inter triginta primus, verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat: posuit autem eum David ad auriculam suam.
Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
