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

¹Tedaj se zbere ves Izrael pri Davidu v Hebronu in reko: Glej, kost smo tvoja in meso tvoje.

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.’”

²In v prejšnjih časih, ko je kraljeval Savel, si vodil ti ven in noter Izraela; in GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, je rekel tebi: Ti boš pasel ljudstvo moje Izraela in ti bodeš vojvoda ljudstvu mojemu Izraelu.

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.

³Tako so prišli vsi starejšine Izraelovi h kralju v Hebron, in David je sklenil zavezo ž njimi v Hebronu pred GOSPODOM. In pomazilili so Davida za kralja Izraelu, soglasno z besedo GOSPODOVO po Samuelu.

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

⁴In David in ves Izrael so šli v Jeruzalem (to je Jebus); ondi so bili Jebusejci, prebivalci dežele.

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.

⁵In prebivalci v Jebusu so rekli Davidu: Ne prideš sem noter. Vendar pa je David zavzel grad Sion, to je mesto Davidovo.

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

⁶In David je rekel: Kdorkoli udari Jebusejce prvi, bode poglavar in poveljnik. In Joab, sin Zervijin, je zlezel gori prvi, in postal je poglavar.

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

⁷In David se je nastanil v gradu, zato so ga imenovali mesto Davidovo.

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

⁸In obzidal je mesto, od Mila in krog, do koder je segalo. Joab pa je popravil drugo po mestu.

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

⁹In David je bolj in bolj napredoval, zakaj GOSPOD nad vojskami je bil ž njim.

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.

¹⁰Ti pa so prvi izmed junakov, ki jih je imel David in ki so mu bili vrli pomočniki v kraljestvu njegovem z vsem Izraelom vred, da ga postavijo za kralja po besedi GOSPODOVI o Izraelu.

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.

¹¹In to je število junakov, ki jih je imel David: Jasobeam, sin Hakmonija, prvi iz tridesetih; on je vzdignil sulico svojo zoper tristo in jih je pobil naenkrat.

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

¹²In za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodov, Ahohovec, eden izmed treh junakov.

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.

¹³On je bil z Davidom v Pasdamimu, in ondi so bili Filistejci zbrani na boj; bil pa je tam kos njive, poln ječmena, in ljudstvo je bežalo izpred Filjstejcev.

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

¹⁴In postavita se sredi zemljišča in ga obranita ter pobijeta Filistejce; in GOSPOD jih je rešil z zmago veliko.

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.

¹⁵In trije izmed tridesetih načelnikov so šli doli v skalo k Davidu, v Adulamsko votlino; in vojska Filistejcev je bila utaborjena v dolini Rafaimov.

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

¹⁶In David je bil takrat v trdnjavi, in straža Filistejcev je takrat bila v Betlehemu.

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

¹⁷In Davida je obšla želja in je rekel: O da bi mi kdo dal piti vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je pri vratih!

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,

¹⁸In ti trije so predrli skozi tabor Filistejcev in zajeli vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je bil pri vratih, in so jo vzeli in prinesli Davidu. A David je ni hotel piti, temuč jo je izlil kot daritev GOSPODU

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.

¹⁹in je rekel: Bog mi ne daj, da bi to storil! Naj li pijem kri teh mož, ki so vnemar pustili življenje svoje? kajti z nevarnostjo svojega življenja so jo prinesli sem! Zato je ni hotel piti. To so storili ti trije junaki.

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.

²⁰In Abisaj, brat Joabov, je bil glava drugim trem; zakaj mahnil je s sulico svojo po treh sto in jih je pobil; in imel je sloveče ime med temi tremi.

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

²¹Izmed teh treh druge vrste je bil najbolj slaven in jim je postal poveljnik; toda prvih treh ni dosegel.

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.

²²Benaja, sin Jojadov, sin hrabrega; moža iz Kabzeela, ki je bil storil velika dela, ta je ubil dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; ta je stopil tudi doli v jamo in ubil leva v njej, ko je bil sneg.

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.

²³In ubil je Egipčana, moža visoke postave, pet komolcev dolgega, in Egipčan je imel v roki sulico kakor tkalčje vratilo, a on je šel doli k njemu s palico in iztrgal sulico Egipčanu iz roke ter ga prebodel z lastno sulico njegovo.

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

²⁴To je storil Benaja, sin Jojadov, in je imel sloveče ime med temi tremi junaki.

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

²⁵Glej, on je bil slavnejši nego tistih trideset, ali prvih treh ni dosegel; in David ga je postavil med svoje svetovalce.
