¹Potom sa shromaždili, celý Izrael, k Dávidovi do Hebrona a riekli: Hľa, sme tvoja kosť a tvoje telo.

¹And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;

²Už aj dávno predtýmto, aj vtedy, keď ešte bol Saul kráľom, ty si bol ten, ktorý vyvodil a privodil Izraela, a Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ti povedal: Ty budeš pásť môj ľud, Izraela, a ty budeš vojvodom nad mojím ľudom Izraelom.

²even in time past, even in Saul`s being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.`

³A tak prišli všetci starší Izraelovi ku kráľovi do Hebrona, a Dávid učinil s nimi smluvu v Hebrone pred Hospodinom, a potom pomazali Dávida za kráľa nad Izraelom, podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré povedal skrze Samuela.

³And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.

⁴Potom odišiel Dávid i celý Izrael do Jeruzalema; to bol Jebuz, lebo tam boli Jebuzeji, obyvatelia zeme.

⁴And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem — it [is] Jebus — and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

⁵A obyvatelia Jebuza povedali Dávidovi: Nevojdeš sem! Ale Dávid zaujal hrad Sion; to je mesto Dávidovo.

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;` and David captureth the fortress of Zion — it [is] the city of David.

⁶Lebo Dávid bol povedal: Ktokoľvek najprv porazí Jebuzeja, ten bude hlavou a veliteľom. A najprv vyšiel hore Joáb, syn Ceruje, a stal sa hlavou.

⁶And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;` and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.

⁷Potom býval Dávid na tom hrade, a preto ho nazvali mestom Dávidovým.

⁷And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;`

⁸A vystavil mesto dookola, od Milla až naokolo. A Joáb opravil ostatok mesta.

⁸and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.

⁹A Dávid prospieval a bol vše väčším a väčším, a Hospodin Zástupov bol s ním.

⁹And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.

¹⁰A toto sú hlavy-predáci hrdinov, ktorých mal Dávid, ktorí sa vzmužili s ním pomáhajúc mu v jeho kráľovstve s celým Izraelom, aby ho urobili kráľom podľa slova Hospodinovho nad Izraelom.

¹⁰And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.

¹¹A toto je počet hrdinov, ktorých mal Dávid: Jašobam, syn Chachmoniho, prvý medzi tridsiatimi. Ten pozdvihol svoju kopiu nad tristo pobitými na jeden raz.

¹¹And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, at one time.

¹²Po ňom nasledoval Eleazár, syn Dódu, Achóchovec, ktorý bol medzi tromi z tých hrdinov.

¹²And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;

¹³Ten bol s Dávidom v Pasdammime, kde sa boli Filištíni shromaždili do boja. A bola tam čiastka poľa, plná jačmeňa, a ľud utekal pred Filištínmi.

¹³he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,

¹⁴A postavili sa naprostred tej čiastky poľa a vytrhli ju a porazili Filištínov. A Hospodin ich zachránil veľkou záchranou.

¹⁴and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth — a great salvation.

¹⁵A iní traja z tých tridsiatich predných sišli dolu na skalu za Dávidom k jaskyni Adullam, a vojsko Filištínov táborilo v doline Refaim.

¹⁵And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁶Dávid bol vtedy v pevnosti, a posádka Filištínov bola vtedy v Betleheme.

¹⁶and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

¹⁷A Dávid si zažiadal a riekol: Oj, keby sa mi dal niekto napiť vody zo studne v Betleheme, ktorá je pri bráne!

¹⁷and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!`

¹⁸A tí traja sa prebili táborom Filištínov a navážiac vody zo studne v Betleheme, ktorá je pri bráne, vzali a doniesli k Dávidovi. Ale Dávid ju nechcel piť, lež ju vylial v obeť Hospodinovi.

¹⁸And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

¹⁹A riekol: Nech ma od toho zachráni môj Bôh, aby som to mal učiniť! Či by som mal piť krv týchto mužov s ich dušami? Lebo ju doniesli za svoje duše. A tedy nechcel ju piť. To vykonali tí traja hrdinovia.

¹⁹and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;` and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.

²⁰A Abišai, brat Joábov, ten bol predným z iných troch, ktorý tiež pozdvihol svoju kopiu nad tristo pobitými a mal slávne meno medzi tými tromi.

²⁰And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and hath a name among three.

²¹Z tých troch bol slávnejší nad tých dvoch, a bol ich veliteľom, ale tamtým trom sa nevyrovnal.

²¹Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

²²Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, syn udatného muža, muž mnohých a veľkých činov, z Kabcela. Ten zabil tých dvoch božských ľvov-silákov Moábových. A ten istý sišiel a zabil ľva prostred jamy v deň snehu.

²²Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.

²³On zabil aj toho Egypťana, muža, ktorý bol päť lakťov vysoký. A hoci mal Egypťan v ruke kopiju jako tkáčsky návoj, sišiel za ním s palicou, vytrhol kopiju z ruky Egypťana a zabil ho jeho vlastnou kopijou.

²³And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian — a man of measure, five by the cubit — and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

²⁴To vykonal Benaiáš, syn Jehojadu, a mal slávne meno medzi tromi hrdinami.

²⁴These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

²⁵Hľa, on bol slávnejší od tridsiatich, ale tým trom sa nevyrovnal. A Dávid ho ustanovil nad svojou družinou.

²⁵Of the thirty, lo, he [is] honoured, and unto the [first] three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.

²⁶Udatnými hrdinami boli aj títo: Azael, brat Joábov, Elchanan, syn Dódov, z Betlehema,
