¹Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised on high saith, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:

¹Ja need on Taaveti viimased sõnad: Nõnda ütleb Taavet, Iisai poeg, ja nõnda ütleb kõrgele ülendatud mees, Jaakobi Jumala võitu ja Iisraeli laulude lemmik:

²The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.

²'Issanda Vaim räägib minu läbi ja tema sõnad on mul keelel.

³The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spake to me: One that ruleth over men righteously, That ruleth in the fear of God,

³Iisraeli Jumal on öelnud, Iisraeli kalju on mulle kõnelnud: See, kes valitseb inimesi õigesti, kes valitseb Jumala kartuses,

⁴[He shall be] as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, A morning without clouds, [When] the tender grass [springeth] out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.

⁴on nagu koit päikese tõustes pilvitul hommikul, kui vihma järel tärkab maast haljas rohi.

⁵Verily my house is not so with God; Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he maketh it not to grow.

⁵Eks ole mu sugu nõnda ühenduses Jumalaga? Sest ta on minuga teinud igavese lepingu, kõigiti korrastatud ja hoitud. Kõik mu õnn ja igatsus - eks ta lase neid võrsuda?

⁶But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand

⁶Aga kõlvatud on nagu tahijäätmed, need kõik tuleb pilduda laiali, sest neid ei saa pihku võtta.

⁷But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place

⁷See, kes neid puudutab, olgu varustatud raua ja piigivarrega. Ja nad põletatakse tulega sootuks, seal, kus nad iganes on.'

⁸These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.

⁸Need on Taaveti kangelaste nimed: Joseb-Bassebet, tahkemonlane, sangarite pealik, seesama on Esni mees Adino; ta tuli kaheksasaja vastu, kelle ta ühekorraga maha lõi.

⁹And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an 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.

⁹Ja tema järel Eleasar, Doodo poeg, ahohlane, üks kolmest kangelasest Taaveti juures, kui nad teotasid vilisteid, kes sinna olid kogunenud sõdima. Kui Iisraeli mehed taandusid,

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

¹⁰jäi tema paigale ja lõi vilisteid, kuni ta käsi väsis ja kangestus mõõga külge. Ja Issand andis sel päeval suure võidu ning rahvas pöördus tema järel tagasi veel ainult riisuma.

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

¹¹Ja tema järel Samma, Aage poeg, hararlane. Kord, kui vilistid olid üheks jõuguks kokku tulnud, siis oli seal üks põllujagu täis läätsi. Rahvas põgenes vilistite eest,

¹²But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great victory.

¹²aga tema asus keset põllujagu ja päästis selle ning lõi vilistid maha. Nõnda andis Issand suure võidu.

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

¹³Ja kolm neist kolmekümnest peamehest läksid alla ja tulid lõikusajal Taaveti juurde Adullami koopasse; ja hulk vilisteid oli leeris Refaimi orus.

¹⁴And David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.

¹⁴Aga Taavet oli siis mäelinnuses ja vilistite linnavägi oli Petlemmas.

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

¹⁵Taavetile tuli janu ja ta ütles: 'Kes annaks mulle vett juua Petlemma kaevust, mis on värava juures?'

¹⁶And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah.

¹⁶Siis tungisid kolm kangelast vilistite leeri ja nad ammutasid vett Petlemma kaevust värava juures, kandsid ja tõid Taavetile; aga ta ei tahtnud seda juua, vaid valas selle Issandale

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

¹⁷ja ütles: 'Jäägu see minust kaugele, Issand, et teeksin seda! See on nende meeste veri, kes käisid oma hinge hinnaga.' Sellepärast ta ei tahtnud seda juua. Seda tegid need kolm kangelast.

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

¹⁸Ja Abisai, Joabi vend, Seruja poeg, oli nende kolmekümne peamees ja tema lennutas oma piigi üle kolmesaja mahalöödu; tema oli nende kolmekümne hulgas kuulus.

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

¹⁹Ta oli küll lugupeetuim nende kolmekümne hulgast, ja oli neile pealikuks, aga nende kolme vastu ta ei saanud.

²⁰And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

²⁰Benaja, Joojada poeg, pärit Kabseelist, sõjamehe poeg, oli rikas tegudelt; tema lõi maha kaks vägevat moabi meest; tema läks alla ja tappis kaevus ühe lõvi, kord kui lund oli sadanud.

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.

²¹Ja ta lõi maha egiptuse mehe, kes oli silmapaistev; egiptlasel oli piik käes, aga Benaja läks ta juurde kepiga ja kiskus egiptlase käest piigi ning tappis tema ta oma piigiga.

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

²²Seda tegi Benaja, Joojada poeg, ja tema oli nende kolmekümne kangelase hulgas kuulus.

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

²³Ta oli lugupeetuim nende kolmekümne hulgast, aga nende kolme vastu ta ei saanud. Ja Taavet pani tema oma ihukaitseväe ülemaks.
