2 Samuel 23
1 David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
ORA queste [son] le ultime parole di Davide: Davide, figliuolo d'Isai, dice; Anzi l'uomo [che è] stato costituito in alta dignità, L'Unto dell'Iddio di Giacobbe, E il componitore delle soavi canzoni d'Israele, dice:
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
Lo Spirito del Signore ha parlato per me, E la sua parola [è stata] sopra la mia lingua.
3 God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
L'Iddio d'Israele ha detto; La Rocca d'Israele mi ha parlato, [dicendo]; Chi signoreggia sopra gli uomini, [sia] giusto, Signoreggiando [nel] timor di Dio.
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
Ed [egli sarà] come la luce della mattina, quando il sole si leva; Di una mattina senza nuvole; [Come] l'erba [che nasce] dalla terra per lo sole, [e] per la pioggia.
5 And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
Benchè la mia casa non [sarà] così appo Iddio; Perciocchè egli ha fatto meco un patto eterno Perfettamente bene ordinato ed osservato; Conciossiachè tutta la mia salute, e tutto il [mio] piacere [sia], Ch'egli non [lo] farà rigermogliare.
6 But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
Ma gli uomini scellerati tutti quanti [saranno] gittati via, Come spine che non si prendono con la mano;
7 Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
Anzi, chi vuol maneggiarle impugna del ferro, od un'asta di lancia; Ovvero, son del tutto bruciate col fuoco in su la pianta.
8 These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
QUESTI [sono] i nomi degli [uomini] prodi di Davide: Colui che sedeva nel seggio, il Tacmonita, [era] il principale de' colonnelli. Esso [era] Adino Eznita, [il quale] in una volta [andò] sopra ottocent'uomini, e li sconfisse.
9 The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
E, dopo lui, [era] Eleazaro, figliuolo di Dodo, figliuolo di Ahohi. Costui [era] fra i tre prodi [ch'erano] con Davide, allora che sfidarono i Filistei, che si erano quivi adunati in battaglia, e che gl'Israeliti si ritrassero.
10 but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
Costui si levò, e percosse i Filistei, finchè la sua mano fu stanca, e restò attaccata alla spada. E il Signore diede una gran vittoria in quel dì; e il popolo ritornò dietro a Eleazaro, solo per ispogliare.
11 The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
E, dopo lui, Samma, figliuolo di Aghe, Hararita. Essendosi i Filistei adunati in una stuolo, [in un luogo] dove era un campo pieno di lenti, ed essendosi il popolo messo in fuga d'innanzi a' Filistei,
12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
costui si presentò in mezzo del campo, e lo riscosse, e percosse i Filistei. E il Signore diede una gran vittoria.
13 Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
Ora [questi] tre capi de' colonnelli vennero a Davide, al tempo della ricolta, nella spelonca di Adullam. Ed allora lo stuolo de' Filistei era accampato nella valle de' Rafei.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
E Davide [era] allora nella fortezza; ed in quel tempo i Filistei aveano guernigione in Bet-lehem.
15 [One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
E Davide fu mosso di desiderio, e disse: Chi mi darà da bere dell'acqua della cisterna di Bet-lehem, ch'[è] alla porta?
16 So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
E [que]'tre prodi penetrarono nel campo de'Filistei, e attinsero dell'acqua dalla cisterna di Bet-lehem, ch'[è] alla porta; e la portarono, e la presentarono a Davide; ma egli non volle berne, anzi la sparse al Signore,
17 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
e disse: Togli da me, Signore, che io faccia questo; [berrei] io il sangue di questi uomini che sono andati [là] al rischio della lor vita? E non volle ber quell'[acqua]. Queste cose fecero [que]'tre prodi.
18 Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
Abisai anch'esso, fratello di Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, era capo fra [altri] tre. Costui eziandio vibrò la sua lancia contro a trecent' [uomini], e li uccise; onde egli acquistò fama fra que' tre;
19 He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
fra i quali certo egli fu il più illustre, e fu lor capo; ma non pervenne a quegli [altri] tre.
20 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
Poi [vi era] Benaia, figliuolo di Ioiada, figliuol d'un uomo valoroso; [il qual Benaia] fece di gran prodezze, [ed era] da Cabseel. Costui percosse i due Ariel di Moab; discese ancora, e percosse un leone in mezzo di una fossa, al tempo della neve.
21 He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
Egli percosse ancora un uomo Egizio, [ch'era] ragguardevole, ed avea in mano una lancia; ma [Benaia] discese contro a lui con un bastone, e gli strappò la lancia di mano, e l'uccise con la sua [propria] lancia.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
Queste cose fece Banaia, figliuolo di Ioiada, e fu famoso fra quei tre prodi.
23 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
Egli fu illustre sopra i trenta; ma pure non pervenne a que' tre. E Davide lo costituì sopra [la gente ch'egli avea del continuo] a suo comando.
