大卫的遗言

23 以下是大卫末了的话:

“耶西的儿子大卫的宣告,

被高举的人的宣告。

大卫是雅各的 神所膏立的,

是以色列美妙的诗人。

耶和华的灵借着我说话,

他的话在我的舌头上。

以色列的 神说,

以色列的盘石告诉我:

那以公义统治人的,

那存敬畏 神的心施行统治的,

他必像旭日升起的光芒,

像无云的早晨,

像雨后的晴朗,

使地长出绿草。

我的家在 神面前不是这样吗?

他与我立了永远的约;

这约安排了一切,稳固妥当。

我的一切救恩、一切愿望,

他不都成全吗?

流氓却像荆棘被丢弃,

人不敢用手拿它。

人要碰它,

必须带备铁器和枪杆,

他们要在原地被火彻底烧毁。”

大卫的勇士(A)

以下是大卫勇士的名字:他革扪人约设.巴设,是军官(“军官”或译:“三勇士”)的首领,又称为伊斯尼人亚底挪。他曾在一次战役中杀死了八百人。

其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒。从前非利士人在巴斯达闵聚集要争战,与大卫一同去向他们骂阵的三个勇士,其中之一就是以利亚撒;那时以色列人向上撤退, 10 他却起来,击杀非利士人,直到他的手疲乏无力,紧贴在刀把上。那一天耶和华使以色列人获得了大胜利。众人转到以利亚撒后面,只顾剥夺死者的财物。

11 再其次是哈拉人亚基的儿子沙玛。非利士人聚集在利希,那里有一块田地长满了红豆,众人都从非利士人面前逃走。 12 沙玛却在那块田中间站稳脚步,保护了那块田,又击杀了非利士人。耶和华又使以色列人获得了大胜利。

13 收割的时候,三十个首领中有三个人下到亚杜兰洞那里去见大卫;有一队非利士人在利乏音谷安营。 14 那时大卫在山寨中,非利士人的驻军却在伯利恒。 15 大卫渴望说:“但愿有人把伯利恒城门旁边井里的水拿来给我喝!” 16 那三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营地,从伯利恒城门旁边的井里打水,把水取上来,带到大卫那里。大卫不肯喝,却把水浇奠在耶和华面前。 17 大卫说:“耶和华啊!我绝对不可作这事。这三个人冒着生命危险去打水,这水不是他们的血吗?”因此大卫不肯喝那水。这些是那三个勇士所作的事。

18 洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛是三十勇士(按照《马索拉文本》,“三十勇士”作“三勇士”;现参照其他抄本和《叙利亚译本》翻译)的首领。他曾挥舞矛枪杀死了三百人,因此他与“三勇士”齐名。 19 他的荣誉比那“三十勇士”高(《马索拉文本》作“他不是在‘三勇士’中最尊贵吗?”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译),所以成为他们的领袖;不过,却不及“三勇士”。

20 甲薛人耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,是一个力气很大的人,作过许多大事。他曾经击杀了摩押人的两个勇将;又在下雪的时候,下到坑里去击杀了一只狮子。 21 他还击杀了一个体格高大的埃及人。这埃及人手里有矛,比拿雅只拿着棍子下去与他对抗;结果他把埃及人手中的矛枪夺了过来,用那矛枪杀死他。 22 这些是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所作的事。他与“三勇士”齐名。 23 他的荣誉比那“三十勇士”高,不过,却不及“三勇士”。大卫立他作侍卫长。

24 三十个勇士中有约押的兄弟亚撒黑、伯利恒人朵多的儿子伊勒哈难、 25 哈律人沙玛、哈律人以利加、 26 帕勒提人希利斯、提哥亚人益吉的儿子以拉、 27 亚拿突人亚比以谢、户沙人米本乃、 28 亚合人撒门、尼陀法人玛哈莱、 29 尼陀法人巴拿的儿子希立、便雅悯子孙基比亚人利拜的儿子以太、 30 比拉顿人比拿雅、迦实溪人希太、 31 伯.亚拉巴人亚比亚本、巴鲁米人押斯玛弗、 32 沙本人以利雅哈巴、雅善的儿子约拿单、 33 哈拉人沙玛、哈拉人沙拉的儿子亚希暗、 34 玛迦人亚哈拜的儿子以利法列、基罗人亚希多弗的儿子以连、 35 迦密人希斯莱、亚巴人帕莱、 36 琐巴人拿单的儿子以申、迦得人巴尼、 37 亚扪人洗勒、比录人拿哈莱(拿哈莱是给洗鲁雅的儿子约押拿兵器的)、 38 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 39 赫人乌利亚,共有三十七人。

大卫的遗言

23 耶西的儿子大卫是雅各的上帝膏立的王,他身居高位,在以色列能歌善咏。以下是他的遗言:

“耶和华的灵借着我说话,
祂的言语在我口中。
以色列的上帝告诉我,
以色列的磐石对我说,
‘以公义治理人民,
敬畏上帝的君王,
就像黎明的曙光、
晴朗的早晨,
又像雨后的光辉,
使大地长出青草。’
我的家在上帝面前不正是如此吗?
上帝与我立下永远的约,
这约稳妥可靠。
祂必拯救我,成全我的愿望。
但恶人要像荆棘一样被丢弃,
没人用手碰他们,
人要拿铁器和长矛把他们收集起来焚毁。”

大卫的勇士

以下是大卫的勇士:他革扪人约设·巴设,又称伊斯尼人亚底挪,是三勇士之首,曾在一场交战中杀掉八百敌人。

其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒,他是三勇士之一。有一次,以色列人和非利士人打仗,他跟随大卫向非利士人骂阵。以色列军队都撤退了, 10 他却坚守阵地,奋勇杀敌,直到手臂发麻,握刀的手无法松开。那天,耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。以色列军队回到以利亚撒那里来捡死人的财物。 11 第三位勇士是哈拉人亚基的儿子沙玛。有一次非利士人聚集在一块长满扁豆的田中和以色列人打仗,以色列人都逃跑了, 12 沙玛却站在田中间击杀敌人,保卫了那块田。那次,耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。

13 在收割的时候,非利士军兵在利乏音谷扎营,三十勇士中的三位到亚杜兰洞见大卫。 14 那时大卫留守在堡垒里,非利士人的驻军在伯利恒。 15 大卫渴了,说:“真想喝一些伯利恒城门旁的井水!” 16 这三位勇士就冲过非利士人的营地,到伯利恒城门旁的井打水,带回来给大卫。大卫却不肯喝,他把水浇奠在耶和华面前, 17 说:“耶和华啊!这三人冒死去打水,这些水就像是他们的血,我决不能喝!”因此,大卫不肯喝。这是三勇士的事迹。

18 洗鲁雅的儿子、约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三位[a]勇士的统领,他曾挥矛刺死三百人,在三勇士中出了名, 19 最有声望,因此做了他们的统领,只是不及前三位勇士。

20 甲薛人耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅是位勇士,做过非凡的事。他曾杀死摩押的两个勇猛战士,也曾在下雪天跳进坑中杀死一头狮子, 21 还杀死了一个埃及勇士。当时埃及人拿着长矛,比拿雅拿着棍子迎战,他夺了对方的长矛,用那矛刺死了对方。 22 这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅的事迹,他在三个勇士中出了名。 23 他比三十勇士更有声望,只是不及前三位勇士。大卫封他为护卫长。

24 三十勇士中有:约押的兄弟亚撒黑、伯利恒人朵多的儿子伊勒哈难、 25 哈律人沙玛、哈律人以利加、 26 帕勒提人希利斯、提哥亚人益吉的儿子以拉、 27 亚拿突人亚比以谢、户沙人米本乃、 28 亚合人撒们、尼陀法人玛哈莱、 29 尼陀法人巴拿的儿子希立、便雅悯支派基比亚人利拜的儿子以太、 30 比拉顿人比拿雅、迦实溪人希太、 31 伯·亚拉巴人亚比亚本、巴鲁米人押斯玛弗、 32 沙本人以利雅哈巴、雅善的儿子们、哈拉人沙玛的儿子约拿单、 33 哈拉人沙拉的儿子亚希暗、 34 玛迦人亚哈拜的儿子以利法列、基罗人亚希多弗的儿子以连、 35 迦密人希斯莱、亚巴人帕莱、 36 琐巴人拿单的儿子以甲、迦得人巴尼、 37 亚扪人洗勒、为洗鲁雅的儿子约押拿兵器的比录人拿哈莱、 38 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 39 赫人乌利亚,共三十七名勇士。

David Extols Yahweh

23 These are the last words of David, the declaration of David the son of Jesse, and the declaration of the man exalted by the Most High, the anointed one of the God of Jacob and the darling of the songs of Israel. “The spirit of Yahweh speaks through me, and his word is upon my tongue. The God of Israel said to me, the rock of Israel has spoken; ‘He who rules over mankind rules righteously, in the fear of God. Like the light of the morning when the sun rises, shining with no clouds, bringing vegetation from the earth apart from rain.’[a] Yet not so is my house with God, for he made an everlasting covenant for me, arranging everything. He has secured all my deliverance, and all my desire he will cause to happen. But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand. And if a man wants to touch them, he must use an iron instrument or the shaft of a spear; then they are consumed entirely with fire on the spot.”

David’s Faithful Soldiers

These are the names of the mighty warriors who were David’s: Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite was chief of three officers; first Adino, whose spear was against eight hundred slain on one occurrence. Next to him Eleazar, the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, was among the three mighty warriors with David when they defied the Philistines and they gathered there for the battle and the men of Israel withdrew. 10 He stood up and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew tired and his hand clung to the sword, and Yahweh brought about a great victory on that day. Then the army returned back to him only for stripping the dead. 11 Next to him was Shamma, the son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines assembled at Lehi, a plot of the field was there filled with lentils, and the army fled there from the presence of the Philistines. 12 But he took a stand in the middle of the plot of land and defended it. He killed the Philistines, and Yahweh brought about a great victory. 13 Then three[b] of the thirty leaders went down and came to David at the time of the harvest[c] to the cave of Adullam, while a group of the Philistines were camping in the valley of the Rephaim. 14 Now at that time, David was in the stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that same time. 15 David said longingly,[d]Oh that someone would bring me a drink[e] of water from the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate.” 16 So three of the mighty warriors broke into the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was at the gate, and they carried it and brought it to David. But he was not willing to drink it, but poured it out to Yahweh. 17 He said, “Far be it from me before Yahweh that I should do this. Is this not the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty warriors did. 18 Now Abishai the brother of Joab the son of Zeruiah was himself the leader of the thirty. He was wielding his spear against three hundred slain and gained a name[f] among the thirty. 19 Among the thirty, is it not that he was honored and became a commander for them? But he did not come up to the three. 20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of Ish-Hai, was a great man of deeds from Kabzeel. He struck down two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day. 21 He also killed a good-looking Egyptian man, in whose hand was a spear. He went down against him with the staff and snatched the spear from the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his spear. 22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did and gained a name for himself among the three mighty warriors. 23 He was honored more than the thirty, but he did not come up to the three. David appointed him in charge of his bodyguard.

The Mighty Men of David

24 Among the thirty were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 27 Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 29 Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai from Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin, 30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash, 31 Abi-Albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan 33 the son of Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite, 34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai the son of the Maacathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 35 Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 36 Igal the son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 37 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the carriers of the weapons of Joab the son of Zeruiah, 38 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 39 Uriah the Hittite; in all, thirty-seven.
