¹Ja kogu Iisrael kogunes Taaveti juurde Hebronisse, öeldes: 'Vaata, me oleme sinu luu ja liha!

¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

²Juba varem, siis kui Saul oli kuningas, olid sina Iisraeli väljaviijaks ja tagasitoojaks. Ja sinule on Issand, su Jumal, öelnud: Sina pead hoidma mu Iisraeli rahvast kui karjane ja sina pead olema mu Iisraeli rahva vürst!'

²In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

³Ja kõik Iisraeli vanemad tulid kuninga juurde Hebronisse ning Taavet tegi Hebronis Issanda ees nendega lepingu; siis nad võidsid Taaveti Iisraeli kuningaks, nagu Issand Saamueli läbi oli käskinud.

³So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.

⁴Seejärel läksid Taavet ja kogu Iisrael Jeruusalemma, see on Jebuusi; seal olid jebuuslased, maa elanikud.

⁴David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

⁵Ja Jebuusi elanikud ütlesid Taavetile: 'Siia sisse sa ei pääse!' Aga Taavet vallutas Siioni linnuse - see on nüüd Taaveti linn.

⁵The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is the city of David.

⁶Taavet oli öelnud: 'Kes esimesena lööb jebuuslasi, saab peameheks ja pealikuks!' Ja Joab, Seruja poeg, läks esimesena sinna üles ning sai peameheks.

⁶David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

⁷Siis elas Taavet linnuses; sellepärast nimetati see Taaveti linnaks.

⁷David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁸Ja ta ehitas linna ringikujuliselt ümber kantsi; ja Joab taastas ülejäänud linna.

⁸He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

⁹Ja Taavet läks üha vägevamaks, sest vägede Issand oli temaga.

⁹David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

¹⁰Ja need olid Taaveti kangelaste peamehed, kes koos kogu Iisraeliga teda toetasid kuningaausse saamisel, teda Issanda käsul kuningaks tõstes -

¹⁰Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.

¹¹Taaveti kangelaste loetelu: Jaasobeam, hakmonlase poeg, sangarite pealik; see oli tema, kes lennutas oma piigi kolmesaja vastu, neid ühekorraga maha lüües.

¹¹This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

¹²Ja tema järel Eleasar, Doodo poeg, ahohlane; üks neist kolmest kangelasest.

¹²After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

¹³Tema oli koos Taavetiga Pas-Dammimis, kui vilistid olid sinna kogunenud sõdima. Seal oli põllujagu, täis otra. Rahvas põgenes vilistite eest,

¹³He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

¹⁴aga nemad asusid keset põllujagu, päästsid selle ja lõid vilistid maha. Nõnda andis Issand suure võidu.

¹⁴They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

¹⁵Ja kolm neist kolmekümnest peamehest läks alla kalju peale Taaveti juurde Adullami koopasse, kui vilistid olid leeri üles löönud Refaimi orus.

¹⁵Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁶Aga Taavet oli siis mäelinnuses ja vilistite linnavägi oli Petlemmas.

¹⁶David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

¹⁷Taavetile tuli janu ja ta ütles: 'Kes annaks mulle vett juua Petlemma kaevust, mis on värava juures?'

¹⁷David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

¹⁸Siis tungisid need kolm vilistite leeri ja ammutasid vett Petlemma kaevust värava juures, kandsid ja tõid Taavetile. Aga Taavet ei tahtnud seda juua, vaid valas selle Issandale

¹⁸The three broke through the army 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: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

¹⁹ja ütles: 'Jäägu Jumala pärast minust kaugele, et teeksin seda! Kas peaksin jooma nende meeste verd, nende hinge? Sest nad tõid seda oma hinge hinnaga!' Sellepärast ta ei tahtnud seda juua. Seda tegid need kolm kangelast.

¹⁹and said, “My God forbid it me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

²⁰Ja Abisai, Joabi vend, oli nende kolmekümne peamees; tema lennutas oma piigi kolmesaja vastu ja lõi need maha; ta oli nende kolmekümne hulgas kuulus.

²⁰Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

²¹Ta oli küll lugupeetuim nende kolmekümne hulgas ja oli neile pealikuks, aga nende kolme vastu ta ei saanud.

²¹Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the three.

²²Benaja, 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.

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

²³Ja ta lõi maha Egiptuse mehe, pikakasvulise mehe, kes oli viis küünart pikk; egiptlasel oli käes piik nagu kangrupoom, aga tema läks ta juurde kepiga ja kiskus egiptlase käest piigi ning tappis tema ta oma piigiga.

²³He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

²⁴Seda tegi Benaja, Joojada poeg, ja tema oli nende kolmekümne kangelase hulgas kuulus.

²⁴Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

²⁵Vaata, ta oli lugupeetuim nende kolmekümne hulgas, aga nende kolme vastu ta ei saanud. Ja Taavet pani tema oma ihukaitseväe ülemaks.

²⁵Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three: and David set him over his guard.
