< 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:
Wọ̀nyí sì ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìkẹyìn Dafidi. “Dafidi ọmọ Jese, àní ọkùnrin tí a ti gbéga, ẹni àmì òróró Ọlọ́run Jakọbu, àti olórin dídùn Israẹli wí pé,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.
“Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sọ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa mi, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ ní ahọ́n mi.
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,
Ọlọ́run Israẹli ni, àpáta Israẹli sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ẹnìkan ti ń ṣe alákòóso ènìyàn lódodo, tí ń ṣàkóso ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
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.’
Yóò sì dàbí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀ nígbà tí oòrùn bá là, òwúrọ̀ tí kò ní ìkùùkuu, nígbà tí koríko tútù bá hù wá láti ilẹ̀ lẹ́yìn òjò.’
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?
“Lóòtítọ́ ilé mi kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n ó ti bá mi dá májẹ̀mú àìnípẹ̀kun, tí a túnṣe nínú ohun gbogbo, tí a sì pamọ́; nítorí pé gbogbo èyí ni ìgbàlà, àti gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi, ilé mi kò lè ṣe kí ó má dàgbà.
6 But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Beliali yóò dàbí ẹ̀gún ẹ̀wọ̀n tí a ṣá tì, nítorí pé a kò lè fi ọwọ́ kó wọn.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí yóò tọ́ wọn yóò fi irin àti ọ̀pá ọ̀kọ̀ ṣagbára yí ara rẹ̀ ká; wọ́n ó jóná lúúlúú níbìkan náà.”
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.
Wọ̀nyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn akọni ọkùnrin tí Dafidi ní: Joṣebu-Basṣebeti ará Takemoniti ni olórí àwọn balógun, òun sì ni akọni rẹ̀ tí ó pa ẹgbẹ̀rin ènìyàn lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.
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,
Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Eleasari ọmọ Dodo ará Ahohi, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin mẹ́ta ti ó wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, nígbà tí wọ́n pe àwọn Filistini ní ìjà, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì ti lọ kúrò.
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.
Òun sì dìde, ó sì kọlu àwọn Filistini títí ọwọ́ fi kún un, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì lẹ̀ mọ́ idà; Olúwa sì ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà ńlá lọ́jọ́ náà, àwọn ènìyàn sì padà bọ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ láti kó ìkógun.
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.
Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Ṣamma ọmọ Agee ará Harari, àwọn Filistini sì kó ara wọn jọ láti piyẹ́, oko kan sì wà níbẹ̀ tí ó kún fun lẹntili, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli sì sá kúrò níwájú àwọn Filistini.
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.
Ṣamma sì dúró láàrín méjì ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì gbà á sílẹ̀, ó sì pa àwọn Filistini Olúwa sì ṣe ìgbàlà ńlá.
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.
Mẹ́ta nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n ìjòyè sọ̀kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tọ Dafidi wá ní àkókò ìkórè nínú ihò Adullamu, ọ̀wọ́ àwọn Filistini sì dó sí àfonífojì Refaimu.
14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
Dafidi sì wà nínú odi, ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu nígbà náà.
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!”
Dafidi sì ń pòǹgbẹ, ó wí báyìí pé, “Ta ni yóò fún mi mu nínú omí kànga tí ń bẹ ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè.”
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,
Àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta sì la ogún àwọn Filistini lọ, wọ́n sì fa omi láti inú kànga Bẹtilẹhẹmu wá, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè, wọ́n sì mú tọ Dafidi wá, òun kò sì fẹ́ mu nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó tú u sílẹ̀ fún Olúwa.
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.
Òun sì wí pé, “Kí a má rí, Olúwa, tí èmi ó fi ṣe èyí; ṣé èyí ni ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó lọ tí àwọn tí ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́?” Nítorí náà òun kò sì fẹ́ mú un. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta yìí ṣe.
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.
Abiṣai, arákùnrin Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah, òun náà ni pàtàkì nínú àwọn mẹ́ta. Òun ni ó sì gbé ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sókè sí ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ènìyàn, ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta.
19 Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
Ọlọ́lá jùlọ ni òun jẹ́ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, ó sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ìṣáájú.
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.
Benaiah, ọmọ Jehoiada, ọmọ akọni ọkùnrin kan tí Kabṣeeli, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ní iṣẹ́ agbára, òun pa àwọn ọmọ Arieli méjì ti Moabu; ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ó sì pa kìnnìún kan nínú ihò lákoko òjò-dídì.
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.
Ó sì pa ará Ejibiti kan, ọkùnrin tí ó dára láti wò, ará Ejibiti náà sì ní ọ̀kọ̀ kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Benaiah sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ní ọwọ́, ó sì gba ọ̀kọ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ pa á.
22 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ṣe, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta náà.
23 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
Nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà, òun ní ọlá jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ti ìṣáájú. Dafidi sì fi í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
