Kings II 23
1 And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.
Zao ty figadoñam-petse’ i Davide, Hoe t’i Davide ana’ Iesý; inao ty saontsi’ indaty naonjoñe añ’aboy, i norizan’Andrianañahare’ Iakobey, i mpibeko mami’ Israeley.
2 The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue.
Nitsara añamako ty Arofo’ Iehovà, tan-delako i lañona’ey.
3 The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said amongst men, How will you strengthen the fear of the anointed?
Nitaroñe t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; nitsara amako t’i Maoza’ Israeley; Tsi-mete tsy mahity ty hifelek’ ondatio hifehe am-pañeveñañe aman’ Añahare,
4 And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
le manahake ty hazavàñe maraindray te manjirik’andro, handro tsy aman-drahoñe, ahetse maindoñ’indoñe boak’ an-tane ty amy tariñandrokey naho i orañey.
5 For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.
Tsy izay hao ty anjombako aman’ Añahare, t’ie nanao fañina amako tsy ho modo? Hene milahatse naho mijadoñe ty fandrombahañe ahy naho ze fitamàko iaby? Tsy hampitiria’e tsampa’e hao?
6 All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
Fe o lo-tserekeo, le hambañe ami’ty anoeñe o fatikeo, ie aveve añe, fa tsy lefe rambesem-pitàñe,
7 and a man shall not labour amongst them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
naho tsy minday vy reke-tara-defoñe t’indaty hipaok’ aze; vaho forototoeñe an-toe’e eo.
8 These [are] the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
Zao o tahinam-panalolahy nimpiamy Davideo: Iosefe-basebete nte-Takemone, mpifelek’ o mpifeheo natao Adino nte-Ezný, ie nanjamañe valon-jato te indraike.
9 And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was amongst the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
Nanonjohy aze t’i Eleatsare ana’ i Dodo ana’ t’i nte-Akoke, ty raik’ amo fanalolahy telo’ i Davideo; ie niatreatre o nte-Pilisty nifanontoñe hialio naho fa nienga iaby o ana’ Israeleo.
10 He arose an struck the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].
Niongake re nanjevoñe nte-Pilisty am-para’ te nimokotse ty sira’e, naho nipitek’ amy fibaray ty fità’e; vaho nañeneke fandreketañe jabajaba t’Iehovà amy andro zay; aa kanao nibalike nañorik’ aze ondatio, le t’ie hikopak’ avao.
11 And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
Nanonjohy aze t’i Samà ana’i Agè nte-Karare. Ie nifandrimboñe an-tane lifotse mahalay ey o nte-Pilistio, naho fa nitriban-day amo nte-Pilistio ondatio,
12 And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.
t’ie nijohañe añivo’ i tetekey, nitañ’ aze vaho nandafa o nte-Pilistio; ie nihenefe’ Iehovà ty fandreketam-bey.
13 And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
Telo amo mpiaolo telo-poloo ty nizotso mb’eo vaho nivotrak’ amy Davide an-tsam-pitatahañe an-dakato’ i Adolame ao; ie nitobe ambavatane’ o nte-Refao o nte-Pilistio.
14 And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
Tam-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide naho e Betlekheme añe o nte-Pilistio henane zay.
15 And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
Nisalala ami’ty hoe t’i Davide, Ehe t’ie ho nanjotsoan-drano boak’ am-bovo’ i Betlekheme marine i lalambeiy!
16 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
Aa le niboroboñafe’ i fanalolahy rey ty valobohòn-te Pilisty naho nitari-drano amy vovom-Betlekheme, marine i lalambeiy; nendese’ iereo vaho nazotso’ iereo amy Davide, f’ie tsy nete nikama, te mone nadoa’e am’ Iehovà.
17 And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
Fa hoe re, Ee te ho lavitse ahy, ry Iehovà, ty hanao zao. Hinomeko hao ty lio’ ondaty namoe ay amy liaio? aa le tsy nete nikama aze. Izay ty nisata’ i fanalolahy telo rey.
18 And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief amongst the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed; and he had a name amongst three.
Miaolo i telo rey t’i Abisay rahalahi’ Ioabe, ana’ i Tseroia. Ie ty nañonjon-defoñe ami’ty telon-jato naho nanjamañe ie iaby, vaho nandrambe tahinañe amy telo rey.
19 Of those three [he was] most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.
Tsy ie hao ty nanan-kasy amy telo rey? aa le nanoeñe mpifehe’ iareo, fe tsy nitaka’e i telo valoha’e rey.
20 And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he struck the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Teo ka t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà, ana’ty fanalolahy nte-Kab’tsele; ie ka ty nanao raha nanjofake: zinevo’e ty ana-dahi’ roe’ i Ariele nte-Moabe; nizotso mb’ an-kadaha ao ka re namono liona an-tsam-panala.
21 He struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
Vinono’e ka t’i nte-Mitsraime, ondaty manjofake. Nitan-defoñe am-pità’e i nte-Mitsraimey, f’ie nizotso mb’ ama’e ao ninday kobaiñe, napotsoa’e am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey i lefo’ey, vaho zinevo’e amy lefo’ey.
22 These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name amongst the three mighty men.
Sata’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà i hoe zay vaho nahazoa’e tahinañe amy fanalolahy telo rey.
23 He was honourable amongst the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
Ie ty nanan-kasy amy telo-polo rey, fe tsy nahatakatse i telo valoha’e rey. Nampifehè’ i Davide aze o mpigari’eo.
24 Asael Joab's brother; he [was] amongst the thirty. Eleanan son of Dudi his uncle in Bethleem.
