2 Samuel 23
1 Now, these, are the last words of David, —The oracle of David, son of Jesse, Yea the oracle of The man raised up on high, The Anointed of the God of Jacob, the Delight of the Songs of Israel:
Dette er Davids sidste Ord; Så siger David, Isajs Søn, så siger Manden, Højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds salvede, Helten i Israels Sange:
2 The Spirit of Yahweh, spake in me, —And, his word, was on my tongue;
Ved mig talede HERRENs Ånd, hans Ord var på min Tunge.
3 Said the God of Israel, Unto me, spake the Rock of Israel: —One Ruling over Men, A Righteous One, ruling in the reverence of God,
Jakobs Gud talede til mig, Israels Klippe sagde: "En retfærdig Hersker blandt Mennesker, en, der hersker i Gudsfrygt,
4 Is even as the light of the morning when ariseth the sun, —A morning, without clouds, [As] from brightness, [and] from rain, the fresh shoots out of the earth.
han stråler som Morgenrøden, som den skyfri Morgensol, der fremlokker Urter af Jorden efter Regn."
5 When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age-abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?
Således har jo mit Hus det med Gud. Han gav mig en evig Pagt, fuldgod og vel forvaret. Ja, al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ikke lade den spire frem?
6 But, as for the abandoned, like thorns to be tossed away are they all, —For, not with the hand, can they be taken;
Men Niddinger er alle som Torne i Ørk, der tages ikke på dem med Hænder;
7 But, the man that would touch them, Must fence himself with iron, and the shaft of a spear, —Then, with fire, shall they be, consumed, on the spot!
ingen rører ved dem uden med Jern og Spydstage, i Ilden brændes de op.
8 These, are the names of the mighty men, who belonged to David, —The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain at one time.
Navnene på Davids Helte var følgende: Hakmoniten Isjbosjet, Anføreren for de tre; det var ham, der engang svang sit Spyd over 800 faldne på een Gang.
9 And, after him, Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, —in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had gone up;
Blandt de tre Helte kom efter ham Ahohiten El'azar, Dodis Søn; han var med David ved Pas-Dammim, dengang Filisterne samlede sig der til Kamp. Da Israels Mænd trak sig tilbage,
10 he, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, —the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain.
holdt han Stand og huggede ned blandt Filisterne, til hans Hånd blev træt og klæbede fast ved Sværdet; HERREN gav dem den bag en stor Sejr. Så vendte Folket tilbage og fulgte ham, kun for at plyndre.
11 And, after him, Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite, —and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of the Philistines,
Efter ham kom Harariten Sjamma, Ages Søn. Engang havde Filisterne samlet sig i Lehi, hvor der var en Mark fuld af Linser, og Folket flygtede for Filisterne;
12 then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.
men han stillede sig op midt på Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og HERREN gav dem en stor Sejr.
13 And three of the thirty chiefs descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, —although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim;
Engang drog tre af de tredive ned og kom til David på Klippens Top, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisterskaren var lejret i Refaimdalen.
14 and, David, then was in a stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in Bethlehem.
David var dengang i Klippeborgen, medens Filisternes Besætning lå i Betlehem.
15 And David longed, and said, —Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?
Så vågnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: "Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?"
16 And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,
Da banede de tre Helte sig Vej gennem Filisternes Lejr, øste Vand af Cisternen ved Betlehems Port og bragte David det. Han vilde dog ikke drikke det, men udgød det for HERREN
17 and said—Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives [in their hands]? So he would not drink it. These things, did the three mighty men.
med de Ord: "HERREN vogte mig for at gøre det! Skulde jeg drikke de Mænds Blod, som har vovet deres Liv!" Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Den Dåd udførte de tre Helte.
18 And. Abishai brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, he, was chief of three, in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and, he, had a name among three.
Abisjaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var Anfører for de tredive. Han svang sit Spyd over 300 faldne, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive;
19 Was he not most honourable, of the three, and so became their captain? Nevertheless, unto the three, he attained not.
iblandt de tredive var han højtæret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre nåede han ikke.
20 Benaiah also, son of Jehoiadah, son of an active man, hero of many a deed, a man of Kabzeel, he, smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, on a day of snow;
Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en tapper Mand fra Kabze'el, der havde udført store Heltegerninger; han fældede de to Arielsønner fra Moah; og han steg ned og fældede en Løve i en Cisterne, en Dag der var faldet Sne.
21 he, also smote an Egyptian, who was of valiant bearing, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear, but he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.
Ligeledes fældede han Ægypteren, en kæmpestor Mand. Ægypteren havde et Spyd i Hånden, men han gik ned imod ham meden Stok, vristede Spydet ud af Hånden på ham og dræbte ham med hans eget Spyd.
22 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and, he, had a name among three mighty men.
Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte;
23 He was the most honourable, of thirty, although, unto the three, he attained no, —so David added him to his council.
iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre nåede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.
