2 Samuel 23

1 These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

1 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：

2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.

2 “耶和华的灵借着我说话， 祂的言语在我口中。

3 The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,

3 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，

4 is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’

4 就像旭日的光辉、 晴朗的早晨， 又像雨后的光芒， 使大地长出青草。’

5 Is not my house right with God? For He has established with me an everlasting covenant, ordered and secured in every part. Will He not bring about my full salvation and my every desire?

5 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。

6 But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.

6 但恶人要像荆棘一样被丢弃， 没人用手拿起他们，

7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron or with the shaft of a spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”

7 人要拿铁器和长矛把他们收集起来焚毁。”

8 These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

8 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，曾在一次交战中杀掉八百敌人。

9 Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated,

9 其次是亚哈希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。以色列人都撤退了，

10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops returned to him, but only to plunder the dead.

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 And after him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them.

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 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.

12 沙玛却站在田中间坚守麦田，击杀非利士人。耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。

13 At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

13 在收割的时候，非利士军队在利乏音谷扎营，三十位统领中有三位到亚杜兰洞见大卫。

14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

14 那时大卫留守在堡垒里，非利士人的驻军在伯利恒。

15 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

15 大卫渴了，说：“但愿有人给我打些伯利恒城门旁的井水喝！”

16 So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

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 saying, “Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! Is this not the blood of the men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

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 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three, and he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

18 洗鲁雅的儿子、约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三位 勇士的统领，他曾挥矛刺死三百人，在三勇士中出了名，

19 Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

19 最有声望，因此做了他们的统领，只是不及前三位勇士。

20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

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 He also struck down an Egyptian, a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

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 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name along with the three mighty men.

22 这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅的事迹，他像那三位勇士一样赢得了名声。

23 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.

23 他比那三十勇士更有声望，只是不及前三位勇士。大卫派他做护卫长。
