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:
Dubbiin Daawit dhuma irratti dubbate kanaa dha: “Himanni Daawit ilmi Isseey, himanni nama Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii, ol ol isa qabe, nama Waaqni Yaaqoob isa dibe faarfataan Israaʼel jaallatamaan sun akkana jedhe:
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.
“Hafuurri Waaqayyoo karaa kootiin dubbateera; dubbiin isaas arraba koo irra ture.
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,
Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateera; Kattaan Israaʼel akkana naan jedhe: ‘Namni qajeelummaan saba bulchu, kan sodaa Waaqaatiin bulchu,
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.’
inni akka ifa biiftuu ganamaa kan iddoo duumessi hin jirretti baʼuu, akkuma ifa aduu kan erga bokkaan caamee booddee marga biqilchuu ti.’
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?
“Manni koo Waaqa duratti qajeelaa mitii? Inni kakuu bara baraa na wajjin seenee isas qajeelchee karaa hundaan ni eega mitii? Isatu fayyina koo fiixaan baasee fedhii koo hundas naaf guuta mitii?
6 But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.
Namoonni hamoon hundinuu garuu akkuma qoraattii harkaan walitti hin qabamneetti gatamu.
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.”
Namni qoraattii tuqu kam iyyuu miʼa sibiilaa yookaan somaa eeboo qabata; qoraattiin sunis lafuma jirutti gubama.”
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.
Maqaan namoota Daawit warra jajjaboo kanaa dha: Yosheeb-Bashebet namichi Tahikmooni hoogganaa sadanii ture; innis lola tokko irratti eeboo mirmirsee namoota dhibba saddeet fixe.
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,
Kan isatti aanu immoo Eleʼaazaar ilma Doodoo namicha gosa Ahooʼaa ture; innis yeroo Filisxeemota lolaaf achitti walitti qabamanii turan sana waraanuuf kutatanitti, namoota jajjaboo Daawit wajjin turan sadan keessaa tokko ture. Ergasii namoonni Israaʼel booddeetti deebiʼan;
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.
inni garuu utuu lafa dhaabatee turee hin sochoʼin hamma harki isaa dadhabee goraadee isaatti gogutti Filisxeemota ni rukute. Waaqayyo gaafas moʼannoo guddaa kenne. Loltoonnis warra duʼan irraa hiikachuu qofaaf gara Eleʼaazaaritti deebiʼan.
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.
Isatti aanees Saamaa ilma Aagee namicha gosa Haraaraatu ture. Yommuu Filisxeemonni iddoo Leehi jedhamutti lafa qotiisaa kan misiraan guutame tokko biratti walitti qabamanitti loltoonni Israaʼel isaan duraa baqatan.
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.
Saamaan garuu lafa qotiisaa walakkaatti iddoo qabatee ture. Innis irraa ittisuudhaan Filisxeemota fixe; Waaqayyos moʼannaa guddaa kenne.
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.
Yeroo midhaan haammamutti utuu loltoonni Filisxeemotaa Sulula Refaayim keessatti walitti qabamanii jiranuu, hangafoota soddomman sana keessaa namoonni sadii gara holqa Adulaamitti gara Daawit gad buʼan.
14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
Yeroo sanatti Daawit daʼannoo cimaa keessa ture; loltoonni Filisxeem immoo Beetlihem turan.
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!”
Daawitis Dheebotee, “Utuu namni tokko boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan dhugaatii naa fidee hoo!” jedhe.
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,
Kanaafuu namoonni jajjaboon sadan sun qubata Filisxeemotaa keessaan darbanii boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan waraabanii Daawitiif fidan. Inni garuu dhuguu ni dide; qooda kanaa bishaan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase.
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.
Innis, “Yaa Waaqayyoo, waan kana gochuun narraa haa fagaatu! Bishaan kun dhiiga namoota lubbuu ofii isaaniitti kutatanii deemanii mitii?” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit bishaan sana hin dhugne. Egaa wanni namoonni jajjaboon sadan sun hojjetan kana ture.
18 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaa obboleessi Yooʼaab hoogganaa sadan isaanii ture. Innis namoota dhibba sadiitti eeboo isaa ol kaafatee isaan fixe; akkasiin innis akkuma namoota sadan sanaa beekamaa taʼe.
19 Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
Abiishaayin warra sadan caalaa ulfina hin argannee ree? Inni yoo isaan keessaa tokko taʼuu baate iyyuu ajajaa isaanii taʼe.
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.
Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa loltuun cimaan biyya Qabziʼeel sunis loltuu moʼannaa gurguddaa argamsiise ture. Innis loltoota Moʼaab kanneen akka malee jajjaboo taʼan lama ajjeese. Gaafa cabbiin roobe tokkos boolla keessa seenee leenca ajjeese.
21 He also killed 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.
Inni namicha biyya Gibxi guddicha tokko illee ni ajjeese. Namichi Gibxi sun eeboo harkaa qabaatu iyyuu Benaayaa bokkuudhaan isatti baʼe; innis harka namicha Gibxi sanaatii eeboo butatee eeboodhuma isaatiin isa ajjeese.
22 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
Hojiiwwan gootummaa kanneen Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hojjete kana faʼi; innis akkuma namoota jajjaboo sadan sanaa nama beekamaa ture.
23 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
Inni namoota soddomman sana keessaa nama kam iyyuu caalaa ulfina guddaa argate; garuu namoota Sadan sanatti hin dabalamne. Daawitis ajajaa eegdota ofii isaa isa godhate.
24 Now these were members of the Thirty: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
