2 Samuel 23

1 Magi e weche Daudi mogik: Weche mag Daudi wuod Jesse, weche ngʼat motingʼ malo gi Ngʼat Mamalo Mogik, ngʼat mowir gi Nyasach Jakobo, jawer wende mag Israel.

These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,

2 Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo kotiyo koda, wechene ne ni e dhoga.

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.

3 Nyasach Israel nowuoyo; Lwanda mar Israel nowachona ni: Ka ngʼato otelo ni ji e yo makare, kendo ka olocho koluoro Nyasaye,

The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.

4 to ochalo gi ler mar okinyi ka chiengʼ wuok, okinyi maonge boche polo, machalo gi ler polo bangʼ chue koth mamiyo lum loth.

Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.

5 Donge oda nikare e nyim Nyasaye? Donge Osesingore koda gi singruok mochwere, mochan kendo morit chuth? Donge obiro kelo olemb warruokna kendo miya gik ma chunya dwaro duto?

For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.

6 To joma richo ibiro wit tenge ka kuthe ma ok nyal chok gi lwedo.

But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.

7 Ngʼama choko kuthe konyore gi gima olos gi nyinyo kata gi ragwar, kendo wangʼogi kama ochokgie.

But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.

8 Magi e nyinge thuondi mag Daudi: Josheb-Bashebeth ja-Takemon, ne thuon kuom thuondi adek; nokawo tongʼe monegogo ji mia aboro e lweny dichiel.

These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.

9 Ngʼat maluwe ne en Eliazar wuod Dodai ma ja-Ahohi. Kaka achiel kuom thuondi adek, ne en gi Daudi kane gijaro jo-Filistia mano chokore Pas Damim ne lweny. Eka jolwenj Israel noringo,

And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.

10 to en nochungʼ kar tiende mi nonego jo-Filistia nyaka bade nojony ma lwete omoko e ligangla. Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ chiengʼno, jolweny noduogo ir Eliazar to mana ni yako gige joma otho.

He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.

11 Maluwe ne en Shama wuod Agee ma ja-Harar. Kane jo-Filistia ochokore kama ne nitie puoth ngʼor, jo-Israel noringogi.

After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.

12 To Shama nochungʼ kar tiende e dier puodhono. Norite monego jo-Filistia, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ.

But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.

13 E kinde mag keyo, adek kuom thuondi piero adek madongo nobiro ir Daudi e rogo man Adulam, ka jolweny mag jo-Filistia to nojot e Holo mar Refaim.

Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

14 E kindeno Daudi nopondo e rogo kendo jo-Filistia to nochokore Bethlehem.

And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.

15 Daudi riyo noloyo mowacho niya, “Yaye mad ne ngʼato kelnae pi soko man but ranga Bethlehem mondo amodhi!”

And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.

16 Eka thuondi adekgo nomwomo kama jolwenj jo-Filistia nochanore mi gitwomo pi e soko mane nitie but ranga Bethlehem kendo giterone Daudi. To notamore modho pigno, to kar modhe to noologo piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,

17 Nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ok datim ma ngangʼ! Donge ma en remb joma nodhi ka ok odewo ngimagi?” Kendo Daudi ne ok omodho pigno. Mago e gik mane thuondi adekgo otimo.

And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.

18 Abishai owadgi Joab wuod Zeruya ne en thuon moloyo thuondi adekgo. Nokawo tongʼe monego ji mia adek, kendo nomiyo obedo gi huma mana kaka thuondi adek ka.

And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.

19 Donge noyudo pak mathoth moloyo thuondi adekgo? Nobedo jatendgi kata obedo nine ok en achiel kuomgi.

For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.

20 Benaya wuod Jehoyada ne jalweny mathuon moa Kabzel, notimo timbe madongo. Nonego ji ariyo mag Moab mane ger ka sibuor. Chiengʼ moro nodonjo e bur ka piny otimo pe mi onego sibuor.

And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.

21 Bende en ema nonego ja-Misri marabet. Kata nobedo ni ja-Misrino ne nigi tongʼ e lwete, Benaya nodhi kedo kode kotingʼo arungu. Noyudho tongʼ e lwet ja-Misrino monege gi tonge owuon.

And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.

22 Mago e timbe mag thuon mane Benaya wuod Jehoyada otimo, en bende ne en rahuma ka thuondi adek ka.

These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.

23 Nomiye luor maduongʼ moloyo thuondi piero adekgo, to kata kamano ne ok en achiel kuom thuondi adekgo madongo. Daudi nokete jatend jolweny mane rite.

He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
