¹Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

¹Te pa so zadnje besede Davidove. David, sin Jesejev, govori, mož, ki je bil visoko postavljen, maziljenec Boga Jakobovega, sladki pevec psalmov v Izraelu govori:

²The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

²Duh GOSPODOV je govoril po meni, in beseda njegova je bila na mojem jeziku.

³The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

³Bog Izraelov je rekel, Skala Izraelova je meni govorila: Pride vladar ljudem, pravičen, ki vlada v strahu Božjem,

⁴And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

⁴in bode kakor svetloba jutranja, ko solnce vzhaja, jutro brez oblakov: od njegovega sijaja po dežju poganja zelenjava iz zemlje.

⁵Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

⁵Čeprav ni taka moja hiša pri Bogu, a vendar je storil večno zavezo z menoj, urejeno v vsem in zavarovano; kajti to je vse rešenje moje in vsa želja moja. Ali bi ne dal, da to vzraste?

⁶But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

⁶Ali Belijalci [Ali: otroci Belijalovi.] bodo vsi kakor trnje, ki se zameta, ker ga ni jemati v roko,

⁷But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

⁷ampak mož, ki se ga dotakne, si preskrbi železo in suličišče; in popolnoma bodo sežgani z ognjem v kraju svojem.

⁸These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

⁸Ta so imena junakov, ki jih je imel David: Joseb Basebet Tahkemončan, prvi poveljnikov; on je bil tisti Adino Ezni proti osemsto, ki jih je pobil naenkrat.

⁹And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:

⁹In za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodaja, sinu Ahohija, eden izmed treh junakov pri Davidu, ko so zasmehovali Filistejce, ki so bili ondi zbrani v boj, ko so odšli možje Izraelovi;

¹⁰He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

¹⁰on je vstal in pobijal Filistejce, dokler mu ni roka onemogla in otrpnila na meču; in GOSPOD je storil veliko rešitev tisti dan. Ljudstvo pa se je vrnilo za njim, samo da pobere plen.

¹¹And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.

¹¹In za njim je bil Sama, sin Ageja Hararca. In Filistejci so se zbrali v eno krdelo, kjer je bila njiva polna leče, in ljudstvo je bežalo pred Filistejci.

¹²But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

¹²Tedaj se je on postavil sredi njive in jo je otel in pobil Filistejce; in GOSPOD je storil veliko rešitev.

¹³And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

¹³In trije izmed tridesetih načelnikov so šli doli in prišli k Davidu ob žetvi v Adulamsko votlino; in krdelo Filistejcev je bilo utaborjeno v dolini Refaimov.

¹⁴And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

¹⁴David pa je bil takrat v trdnjavi, in straža Filistejcev je bila tedaj v Betlehemu.

¹⁵And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

¹⁵In Davida je obšla želja in je rekel: O, da bi mi kdo dal piti vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je pri vratih!

¹⁶And the three mighty men brake through the host 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: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.

¹⁶In ti trije junaki so prodrli ostrog Filistejcev ter zajeli vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je pri vratih, in so je vzeli ter prinesli Davidu. A on je ni hotel piti in jo je izlil kot pitno daritev GOSPODU,

¹⁷And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

¹⁷in je rekel: Nikakor ne, o GOSPOD, da bi jaz to storil! Naj li pijem kri mož, ki so šli tja in vnemar pustili življenje! In ni je hotel piti. To so storili ti trije junaki. –

¹⁸And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.

¹⁸In Abisaj, Joabov brat, sin Zervijin, je bil glava trem. On je mahnil s sulico svojo po treh sto in jih pobil; in imel je sloveče ime med tremi.

¹⁹Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

¹⁹Ni li bil najslavnejši izmed teh treh, da jim je postal knez? Toda prvih treh ni dosegel.

²⁰And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

²⁰In Benaja, sin Jojadov, sin hrabrega moža iz Kabzeela, ki je storil velika dela, ta je ubil dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; ta je tudi stopil doli in ubil leva sredi jame, ko je bil sneg.

²¹And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

²¹In ubil je Egipčana, velikega moža, in Egipčan je imel v roki sulico, a on je šel k njemu doli s palico in iztrgal sulico Egipčanu iz roke in ga je umoril z lastno sulico njegovo.

²²These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.

²²To je storil Benaja, sin Jojadov, in imel je sloveče ime med tremi junaki.

²³He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

²³On je bil slavnejši nego tistih trideset, ali prvih treh ni dosegel.
