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:
А ово су последње речи Давидове: Рече Давид син Јесејев, рече човек који би постављен високо, помазаник Бога Јаковљевог, и љубак у песмама Израиљевим:
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
Дух Господњи говори преко мене, и беседа Његова би на мом језику.
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.
Рече Бог Израиљев, каза ми Стена Израиљева; који влада људима нека је праведан, владајући у страху Божијем;
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
И биће као светлост јутарња, кад сунце излази јутром без облака, и као трава која расте из земље од светлости иза дажда.
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.
Ако и није такав дом мој пред Богом, ипак је учинио завет вечан са мном, у свему добро уређен и утврђен. И то је све спасење моје и сва жеља моја, ако и не да да расте.
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.
А безаконици ће свиколики бити као трње почупани, које се не хвата руком.
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.
Него ко хоће да га се дохвати, узме гвожђе или копљачу; и сажиже се огњем на месту.
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.
Ово су имена јунака Давидових: Јосев-Васевет Тахмонац први између тројице; њему милина би ударити копљем на осам стотина и поби их уједанпут.
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,
За њим Елеазар син Додона сина Ахоховог, између три јунака који беху с Давидом, и осрамотише Филистеје скупљене на бој, кад Израиљци отидоше;
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.
Он се подиже, и би Филистеје докле му се рука не умори и укочи се при мачу: и Господ даде велико спасење онај дан, те се народ врати за њим само да покупи плен.
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,
А за њим Сама син Агејев Араранин; кад се Филистеји скупише у гомилу, и онде беше њива пуна лећа, и народ побеже од Филистеја,
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.
Стаде усред њиве, и одбрани је, и поби Филистеје, и Бог даде велико спасење.
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].
И та три прва између тридесет сиђоше и дођоше о жетви к Давиду у пећину одоламску, кад војска филистејска стајаше у логору, у долини рафајској.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
А Давид беше онда у граду, и беше онда стража филистејска у Витлејему.
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!”
А Давид зажеле, и рече: Ко би ми донео воде да пијем из студенца витлејемског што је код врата!
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.
Тада она три јунака продреше кроз логор филистејски, и захватише воде из студенца витлејемског што је код врата, и донесоше и дадоше Давиду; али он је не хте пити, него је проли пред Господом;
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.
И рече: Не дај Боже да бих то учинио. Није ли то крв ових људи, који не марећи за живот свој идоше. И не хте пити. То учинише ова три јунака.
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.
И Ависај брат Јоавов син Серујин беше први између тројице; он махну копљем својим на три стотине, и поби их, и прослави се међу тројицом.
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.
Између те тројице беше најславнији, и поста им поглавар; али оне тројице не стиже.
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.
И Венаја син Јодајев, син човека јунака, велик делима, из Кавсеила; он погуби два јунака моавска, и сишав уби лава у јами кад беше снег.
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.
Он уби и једног Мисирца, знатног човека; имаше Мисирац копље у руци, а он изиђе на њ са штапом, и истрже Мисирцу копље из руке, и уби га његовим копљем.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
То учини Венаја син Јодајев, и би славан међу ова три јунака.
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.
Беше најславнији између тридесеторице, али оне тројице не стиже; и Давид га постави над пратиоцима својим.
