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 says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:

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

²“The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me. 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, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,

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

⁴shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

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?

⁵Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn’t make it grow.

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

⁶But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand,

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

⁷But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. 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: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain 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,

⁹After 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 who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.

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 struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take 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,

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

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

¹²But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.

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

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

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

¹⁴David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

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

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

¹⁶The three mighty men 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 he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.

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.

¹⁷He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t it the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

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

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

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

¹⁹Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the 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.

²⁰Benaiah 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.

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 killed 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 killed him with his own spear.

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

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and 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 more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
