PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Estas son las últimas palabras de David: David, el hijo de Isaí declara: Así dice el hombre que fue exaltado, El ungido del ʼElohim de Jacob, El dulce salmista de Israel:
1 Now 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:
2 El Espíritu de Yavé habla por medio de mí Y su Palabra está en mi boca.
2 “Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Dice el ʼElohim de Israel, Me habló la Roca de Israel, El que gobierna a los hombres con justicia, El que gobierna con el temor de ʼElohim.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 Es como la luz de la aurora cuando sale el sol, Como el resplandor de una mañana sin nubes, Como la lluvia que hace brotar la hierba de la tierra.
4 shall 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.’
5 No es así mi casa hacia ʼElohim, Sin embargo, Él hizo conmigo un Pacto eterno, Ordenado en todo y será cumplido, Aunque aún no hace florecer toda mi salvación y mi deseo.
5 Isn’t my house 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. Won’t he make it grow?
6 Pero todos los perversos serán como espinos Que se tiran y nadie recoge,
6 But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Nadie los tocará, sino con un hierro o con un asta de lanza, Y con fuego que los queme por completo en su lugar.
7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 Estos son los nombres de los valientes que David tuvo: Joseb-basebet el tacmonita, principal de los tres capitanes, quien era llamado Adino el eznita, quien mató a 800 hombres en una ocasión.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 Después de él estaba Eleazar, hijo de Dodo, hijo de Ahohi, uno de los tres capitanes que estaban con David cuando desafiaron a los filisteos que estaban reunidos para la batalla, aunque los hombres de Israel se retiraron de allí.
9 After 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 had gone away.
10 [Eleazar] se levantó e hirió a los filisteos hasta que su mano se cansó y se quedó pegada a la espada. Aquel día Yavé dio una gran victoria, y el pueblo volvió tras él solo para tomar el botín.
10 He 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 plunder.
11 Después de él estaba Samá, hijo de Ajá, el hararita. Los filisteos se concentraron donde había una parcela de tierra sembrada con lentejas, y el pueblo huyó de los filisteos.
11 After him was Shammah the son of Agee, a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Pero [Samá] se paró en medio de aquella parcela y la defendió. Derrotó a los filisteos, y Yavé dio una gran victoria.
12 But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.
13 También, en la época de la cosecha, hubo tres de los 30 principales que bajaron y fueron a David, a la cueva de Adulam, cuando una banda de filisteos acampaba en el valle de Refaim.
13 Three 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.
14 David estaba entonces en el refugio, y la guarnición filistea estaba en Belén.
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 David tuvo un deseo y exclamó: ¡Quién me diera a beber agua del pozo de Belén, que está junto a la puerta!
15 David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Y los tres valientes irrumpieron en el campamento filisteo y sacaron agua del pozo, junto a la puerta de Belén, y se la llevaron a David. Pero él no quiso beberla, sino que la derramó como ofrenda a Yavé, y dijo:
16 The 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.
17 ¡Lejos esté de mí, oh Yavé, hacer esto! ¿Beberé yo la sangre de los varones que fueron con riesgo de sus vidas? Y no quiso beberla. Tales cosas hicieron estos tres valientes.
17 He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 Y Abisai, hermano de Joab, hijo de Sarvia, era el principal de los 30. Éste blandió su lanza contra 300 que fueron traspasados, y tuvo renombre entre los tres.
18 Abishai, 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.
19 [Abisai] fue el más renombrado de los 30 y fue su jefe, pero no fue incluido entre los tres.
19 Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 Después, Benaía, hijo de Joiada, hijo de un hombre valiente de múltiples proezas, natural de Cabseel, mató a ambos hijos de Ariel de Moab. En un día de nieve, bajó y mató a un león dentro de un foso.
20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 También mató a un egipcio de enorme estatura. El egipcio llevaba una lanza en la mano. Benaía fue contra él con un cayado, arrebató la lanza de la mano del egipcio y lo mató con su propia lanza.
21 He killed a huge Egyptian, 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.
22 Benaía, hijo de Joiada, hizo esto y tuvo renombre entre los 30 valientes.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Fue distinguido entre los 30, pero no alcanzó a los tres. David lo puso al frente de su guardia personal.
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
