2 Samuelova 23
1 Ovo su posljednje Davidove riječi: “Riječ Davida, sina Jišajeva, riječ čovjeka koji je bio visoko uzdignut, pomazanika Boga Jakovljeva, pjevača pjesama Izraelovih:
Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
2 Jahvin duh govori po meni, njegova je riječ na mom jeziku.
The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
3 Reče mi Jakovljev Bog, reče mi Izraelova hrid: Tko vlada ljudima pravedno, i tko vlada u strahu Božjemu,
The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
4 taj je kao jutarnja svjetlost kad ograne sunce, jutro bez oblaka, na kojem se svjetluca zemaljska trava poslije kiše.
It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
5 Da, moja kuća stoji čvrsto pred Bogom: on je učinio vječan Savez sa mnom, u svemu dobro uređen i utvrđen. Da, on će dati da napreduje sve moje spasenje i svaka moja želja.
For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
6 Belijalovi ljudi svi su kao trnje u pustinji, jer ih nitko ne hvata rukom.
But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
7 Nitko ih se ne dotiče, osim gvožđem i kopljačom, i potpuno se spaljuju u ognju.”
But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
8 Ovo su imena Davidovih junaka: Išbaal, Hakmonac, prvak među trojicom; on je zavitlao svojim kopljem protiv osam stotina i pobio ih najedanput.
These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
9 Za njim dolazi Eleazar, sin Dodonov, Ahoašanin, jedan od trojice junaka; on je bio s Davidom kod Pas Damina kad su se ondje skupili Filistejci za boj, a Izraelci se povukli pred njima.
After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
10 Ali se on čvrsto držao i udarao Filistejce dok mu se ruka nije ukočila i ostala kao prirasla uz mač. Jahve je dao veliku pobjedu u onaj dan, pa se vojska vratila za Eleazarom, ali samo da pokupi plijen.
He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
11 Za njim dolazi Šama, sin Elin, Hararac; kad su se Filistejci skupili u Lehiju, bijaše polje puno leće, a vojska je bila pobjegla ispred Filistejaca.
After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
12 Tada je on stao usred polja i obranio ga i potukao Filistejce. Tako je Jahve dao veliku pobjedu.
But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
13 Trojica između tridesetorice jednom su krenula na put i o početku žetve došla k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad jedna filistejska četa bijaše utaborena u Refaimskoj dolini.
And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
14 David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada bila tada u Betlehemu.
And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
15 David uzdahnu: “O, kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata?”
And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
16 Tada ta tri junaka prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskog studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti, nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi
And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
17 govoreći: “Ne dao mi Jahve da to učinim! Zar da pijem krv ovih ljudi? TÓa izlažući život pogibli, donijeli su vode!” I nije htio piti. To su, eto, učinila ta tri junaka.
And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
18 Abišaj, Joabov brat a sin Sarvijin, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom. On je zavitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
19 On se odlikovao među tridesetoricom i postao njihov glavar, ali nije dostigao trojice.
Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
20 Jojadin sin Benaja, junak iz Kabseela, bogat junačkim djelima, ubio je dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; on je jednoga snježnog dana sišao i ubio lava usred jame.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
21 Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka golema stasa. Egipćanin je imao koplje u ruci, a on izišao preda nj sa štapom: istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubi ga njegovim kopljem.
And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
22 To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se među tridesetoricom junaka.
These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
23 Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao; David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.
He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
