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

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,

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

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

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

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;

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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,

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;

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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