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.

¹And these [are] the last words of David: — `The affirmation of David son of Jesse — And the affirmation of the man raised up — Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:

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

²The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.

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

³He said — the God of Israel — to me, He spake — the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.

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

⁴And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun — no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!

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?!

⁵For — not so [is] my house with God; For — a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For — all my salvation, and all desire, For — He hath not caused [it] to spring up.

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

⁶As to the worthless — As a thorn driven away [are] all of them, For — not by hand are they taken;

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

⁷And the man who cometh against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt In the cessation.`

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

⁸These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David hath: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains — he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred — wounded at one time.

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.

⁹And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines — they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up —

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.

¹⁰he hath arisen, and smiteth among the Philistines till that his hand hath been weary, and his hand cleaveth unto the sword, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.

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,

¹¹And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is there a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath fled from the presence of the Philistines,

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

¹²and he stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation.

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

¹³And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

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

¹⁴and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

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

¹⁵and David longeth and saith, `Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?`

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.

¹⁶And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

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.

¹⁷and saith, `Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?` and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.

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.

¹⁸And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and he hath a name among three.

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

¹⁹Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

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.

²⁰And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.

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.

²¹And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, 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.

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

²²These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.

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

²³Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.

²⁴Azael, brat Joábov, medzi tridsiatimi; Elchanán, syn Dodu, Betlehemský;

²⁴Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem.
