2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
Ngayon, ito ang mga huling sinabi ni David—David na lalaking anak ni Jesse, ang taong mataas na kinikilala, ang siyang pinahiran ng langis ng Diyos ni Jacob, ang matamis na manunulat ng awit ng Israel.
2 The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
“Nangusap sa pamamagitan ko ang Espiritu ni Yahweh at nasa aking dila ang kaniyang salita.
3 The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
Sinabi ng Diyos ng Israel, sinabi ng Bato ng Israel sa akin, 'Ang isang namumuno nang makatarungan sa mga tao, namumuno ng may takot sa Diyos.
4 It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
Siya ay magiging tulad ng liwanag sa umaga sa pagsikat ng araw, isang umaga na walang mga ulap, sa pag-usbong ng malambot na mga damo mula sa lupa sa pamamagitan nang maliwanag na sinag ng araw pagkatapos ng ulan.
5 For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
Tunay nga, hindi ba gaya nito ang aking sambahayan sa harapan ng Diyos? Hindi ba gumawa siya ng tipan sa akin na walang hanggan, maayos at tiyak sa kahit na anong paraan? Hindi ba pinalago niya ang aking kaligtasan at tinupad ang aking bawat naisin?
6 But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
Pero ang lahat ng mga walang kabuluhan, magiging katulad ng mga tinik na itatapon, dahil walang mga kamay ang makakapagtipon sa kanila.
7 But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
Ang taong gagalaw sa kanila, kailangang gumamit ng kasangkapang bakal o tungkod ng sibat. Kailangan silang tupukin kung saan sila nakakalat.'”
8 These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga magigiting na kawal ni David: Jesbaal na Hacmonita na naging pangulo ng mga magiting na kawal. Nakapatay siya ng walong daang tao sa isang pagkakataon.
9 After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
Sumunod sa kaniya si Eleazar na lalaking anak ni Dodo, lalaking anak ng isang Ahohita, isa sa tatlong magigiting na mga tauhan ni David. Naroon siya nang nilabanan nila ang mga taga-Filisteo na sama-samang nagtipon para makipagdigmaan, at nang umurong ang mga tauhan ng Israel.
10 He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
Nanatili si Eleazar at nilabanan ang mga taga-Filisteo hanggang sa napagod ang kaniyang kamay at nanigas ang kaniyang kamay sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak sa kaniyang espada. Nagdala ng tagumpay si Yahweh sa araw na iyon. Bumalik ang hukbo pagkatapos ni Eleazar, para lang hubaran ang mga katawan.
11 After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
Sumunod sa kaniya si Samma na lalaking anak ni Age, isang Hararita. Sama-samang nagtipon ang mga taga-Filisteo kung saan may bukid ng mga lentil, at tinakasan sila ng hukbo.
12 But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
Pero tumayo si Samma sa gitna ng bukid at ipinagtanggol ito. Napatay niya ang mga taga-Filisteo at nagdala ng isang dakilang tagumpay kay Yahweh.
13 And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
Tatlo sa tatlumpung tauhan ang bumaba papunta kay David sa panahon ng ani, sa kuweba ng Adullam. Nakakampo ang hukbo ng mga taga-Filisteo sa lambak ng Refaim.
14 And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
Si David noon ay nasa kaniyang tanggulan, isang yungib, habang nagtatag ang mga taga-Filisteo sa Bethlehem.
15 And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
Nagnais si David ng tubig at sinabing, “Kung mayroon lamang magbibigay sa akin ng tubig na maiinom mula sa balon ng Bethlehem, ang balon na nasa tarangkahan!”
16 And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
Kaya sinira ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki ang hukbo ng mga taga-Filisteo at sumalok ng tubig sa balon ng Betlehem, ang balon na nasa tarangkahan. Kumuha sila ng tubig at dinala ito kay David, pero hindi niya ininom ito. Sa halip, ibinuhos niya ito kay Yahweh.
17 And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
Pagkatapos sinabi niya, “Huwag nawa pahintulutan, Yahweh, na inumin ko ito. Iinumin ko ba ang dugo ng mga taong nagbuwis ng kanilang mga buhay?” Kaya tumanggi siyang ininumin ito. Ito ang mga bagay na ginawa ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
Si Abisai, lalaking kapatid ni Joab at lalaking anak ni Zeruias, ang kapitan ng tatlo. Minsan na siyang nakipaglaban sa tatlong daang kalalakihan gamit ang kaniyang sibat at pinatay sila. Madalas siyang banggitin kasama ng tatlong kawal.
19 Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
Hindi ba mas kilala siya kaysa tatlong kawal? Ginawa nila siyang kapitan. Gayunman, hindi napantayan ng kaniyang katanyagan ang katanyagan ng tatlong pinakakilalang mga kawal.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
Si Benaias, mula sa Kabzeel, ay lalaking anak ni Joaida; siya ang malakas na lalaki na gumawa ng mga dakilang gawa. Pinatay niya ang dalawang lalaking anak ni Ariel ng Moab. Bumaba rin siya sa loob ng isang hukay at pinatay ang leon habang nagniniyebe.
21 And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
At pinatay niya ang isang napakalaking lalaking taga-Ehipto. May hawak na sibat ang taga-Ehipto, pero nakipaglabanan si Benaias sa kaniya gamit lamang ang isang tungkod. Inagaw niya mula sa kamay ng taga-Ehipto at pinatay siya gamit ang kaniyang sariling sibat.
22 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
Ginawa ni Benaias anak na lalaki ni Joaida itong mga kahanga-hangang gawa, at pinangalanan siya kasama ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki.
23 He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
Labis siyang hinangaan kaysa sa tatlumpung kawal sa pangkalahatan, pero hindi siya labis na hinahangaan gaya ng tatlong pinaamahusay na kawal. Pero ginawa siya ni David na tagapamahala ng kaniyang mga tagabantay.
24 Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty; and Elhanan, the son of Dodai, of Beth-lehem,
