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

¹A toto sú posledné slová Dávidove. Toto riekol ako Boží výrok Dávid, syn Izaiho, a riekol muž, ktorý je vysoko postavený, pomazaný Boha Jakobovho a ľúbezný čo do spevov Izraelových.

²The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And his word was on my tongue.

²Duch Hospodinov hovorí skrze mňa, a jeho reč na mojom jazyku.

³The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God;

³Povedal Bôh Izraelov, mne hovorí skala Izraelova: Ten, ktorý panuje nad ľuďmi, nech je spravedlivý, ktorý panuje v bázni Božej,

⁴And [he shall be] as the light or the morning, [like] the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; [When] from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth from the earth.

⁴a bude jako svetlo rána, keď vychádza slnce, ráno bez oblakov, keď od jasu po daždi pučí zeleň zo zeme.

⁵Although my house be not so before ùGod, Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in every way and sure; For [this is] all my salvation, and every desire, Although he make [it] not to grow.

⁵Lebo či nie tak môj dom u silného Boha? Lebo učinil so mnou večnú smluvu, usporiadanú vo všetkom a ostríhanú, lebo všetka moja spása a všetka záľuba je v nej. Lebo či azda nedá, aby vzpučala?!

⁶But [the sons] of Belial [are] all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands;

⁶Ale nešľachetníci, všetci, koľko ich je, budú odvrhnutí jako tŕnie, lebo ich nevezmú do ruky.

⁷And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.

⁷Ale kto sa ich pojde dotknúť, opatrí sa železom a drevom kopije, a istotne sa spália ohňom na mieste.

⁸These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite the chief of the captains: he was Adino the Eznite; he [fought] against eight hundred, slain [by him] at one time.

⁸Toto sú mená hrdinov Dávidových: Jošeb-bašebet Tachkemonský predný trojník, bojovník s voza; on bol Adino Ecňanský; zastál nad osemsto pobitými na jeden raz.

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

⁹Po ňom Eleazár, syn Dodu, syna Achochiho, medzi tromi hrdinami s Dávidom, keď opovrhli Filištínmi. Boli sa tam shromaždili do boja, a mužovia Izraelovi boli odišli ta hore.

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

¹⁰Ten vstal a bil Filištínov, dokiaľ len neustala jeho ruka, a neprilepila sa jeho ruka na meč. A tak učinil Hospodin veľké spasenie toho dňa. A ľud sa navrátil za ním iba olúpiť pobitých.

¹¹And after him, Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite: the Philistines were gathered into a troop, and there was there a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines;

¹¹Po ňom bol Šamma, syn Ageho, Harársky. Lebo keď sa boli shromaždili Filištíni v hajno, kde bola čiastka poľa, plná šošovice, a keď utekal ľud pred Filištínmi,

¹²and he stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.

¹²postavil sa naprostred čiastky toho poľa a vytrhol ju. A porazil Filištínov, a tak učinil Hospodin veľké spasenie.

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

¹³A zase iní traja z tridsiatich vodcov sišli a prišli do Kacíra k Dávidovi do jaskyne Adullam, keď táborilo hajno Filištínov v doline Refaim.

¹⁴And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.

¹⁴Vtedy bol Dávid v pevnosti, a posádka Filištínov bola vtedy v Betleheme.

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

¹⁵A Dávid si zažiadal a riekol: Ó, keby sa mi dal niekto napiť vody zo studne v Betleheme, ktorá je pri bráne!

¹⁶And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.

¹⁶A tí traja hrdinovia prebili sa táborom Filištínov a naťahajúc vody z cisterny Betlehema, ktorá je v bráne, vzali a doniesli k Dávidovi. No, nechcel ju piť, ale ju vylial v obeť Hospodinovi.

¹⁷And he said, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

¹⁷A riekol: Nech ma Hospodin zachráni od toho, aby som to mal učiniť! Lebo či mám piť krv mužov, ktorí boli odišli doniesť vodu za cenu svojich životov? A nechcel ju piť. To učinili tí traja hrdinovia.

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

¹⁸A Abišaj, brat Joábov, syn Ceruje, bol predným tých troch, ktorý pozdvihol svoju kopiju na tristo, ktorých aj pobil. A mal meno medzi tými tromi.

¹⁹Was he not most honourable of three? and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.

¹⁹A z tých troch bol najslávnejším a bol ich veliteľom. Ale tam tým trom sa nevyrovnal.

²⁰And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

²⁰A Benaiáš, syn Jehojadu, syn udatného muža, velikých činov, z Kabceela. Ten zabil tých dvoch Arielov Moábových. A ten istý sišiel a zabil ľva prostred jamy v deň snehu.

²¹He also smote the Egyptian, an imposing man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; and 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.

²¹A on zabil aj nejakého Egypťana, muža na podiv. A hoci mal Egypťan v ruke kopiju, sišiel za ním s palicou, vytrhol kopiju z ruky Egypťana a zabil ho jeho vlastnou kopijou.

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

²²To vykonal Benaiáš, syn Jehojadu, a mal meno medzi tými tromi hrdinami;

²³He was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.

²³bol slávnejší nad tridsiatich, ale k tamtým trom nedospel. A Dávid ho ustanovil za člena svojej najbližšej družiny.
