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.

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:

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

²“The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.

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

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,

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

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.’

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?!

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

²³He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
