< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:
Ita, dagitoy dagiti maudi a balikas ni David— ni David nga anak ni Jesse, ti tao a napadayawan unay, ti tao a pinulotan iti Dios ni Jacob, ti nalaing a salmista ti Israel.
2 “The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.
“Nagsao ti Espiritu ni Yahweh babaen kaniak, ket adda dagiti balikasna iti dilak.
3 The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, in the fear of God,
Nagsao ti Dios ti Israel, kinuna ti dakkel a Bato ti Israel kaniak, 'Ti sililinteg a mangiturturay kadagiti tattao, a mangiturturay nga addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios.
4 like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.
Kaiyarigannanto ti lawag iti agsapa iti kanito a sumingsingising ti init, maysa nga agsapa nga awan ti ulep, a panagrusing dagiti naganus a ruot iti daga babaen iti naraniag a singising ti init kalpasan iti tudo.
5 But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.
Kinapudnona, saan kadi a kastoy ti pamiliak iti imatang ti Dios? Saan kadi a nakitulag isuna kaniak iti agnanayon, nabilin ken saan a mabaliwan iti amin a wagas? Saan kadi a patalgedenna ti pannakaisalakanko ken ibanagna ti tunggal tarigagayko?
6 But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.
Ngem dagiti awan serserbina ket maiyarigdanto amin kadagiti siit a maibelleng, gapu ta saan ida a maurnong dagiti ima iti siasinoman.
7 And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”
Ti tao a mangsagid kadagitoy ket masapul nga agaramat iti landok wenno putan ti gayang: masapul a mapuoranda iti ayanda.'”
8 These are the names of the valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.
Dagitoy dagiti nagan dagiti mabigbigbig a soldado ni David: Ni Jesbaal a Hacmonita ket isu ti pangulo dagiti mabigbigbig a soldado. Nakapatay isuna iti walo gasut a lallaki iti naminsan a ranget.
9 After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.
Sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Eleazar a putot ni Dodo a putot ti maysa nga Ahohita a maysa kadagiti tallo a nasisiglat a tattao ni David. Adda isuna idi kinaritda dagiti Filisteo a naguummong tapno makigubat, ken idi nagsanod dagiti lallaki ti Israel.
10 And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.
Nagtakder ni Eleazar ket kinarangetna dagiti Filisteo agingga a nabannog ken simmikkil dagiti imana ket saannan a maibbatan ti putan ti kampilanna. Nangiyeg ni Yahweh iti naindaklan a balligi iti dayta nga aldaw. Nagsubli dagiti armada kalpasan ni Eleazar tapno laeng rabsutenda dagiti kayatda kadagiti natay.
11 And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,
Sumaruno kenkuana ni Samma a putot ni Age a taga-Hara. Naguummong dagiti Filisteo iti talon a namulaan iti bukbukel, ket intarayan ida ti armada.
12 he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.
Ngem nagtakder ni Samma iti tengga ti talon ket sinalaknibanna daytoy. Pinatayna dagiti Filisteo, ket nangyeg ni Yahweh iti naindaklan a balligi.
13 And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.
Tallo kadagiti tallupulo a soldado ti simmalog iti ayan ni David iti panawen ti panagaapit, iti rukib ti Adullam. Nagkampo ti armada dagiti Filisteo iti tanap ti Refaim.
14 And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.
Iti dayta a tiempo adda idi ni David iti paglemlemmenganna a maysa a rukib, kabayatan iti panagkampo dagiti Filisteo idiay Betlehem.
15 Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside the gate!”
Mawaw idi ni David ket kinunana, “No adda la koma mangted kaniak iti danum nga inumek a naggapu iti bubon idiay Betlehem, ti bubon nga adda iti asideg ti ruangan!”
16 Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,
Isu a sinarakusok dagitoy a tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki ti armada dagiti Filisteo ket napanda simmakdo iti danum idiay bubon ti Betlehem, ti bubon nga adda iti ruangan. Innalada ti danum ket impanda kenni David, ngem nagkedked isuna nga inumen daytoy. Ngem ketdi, imbuyatna daytoy a kas datonna kenni Yahweh.
17 saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.
Ket kinunana, “Iyadayom kaniak, Yahweh, nga inumek daytoy. Rumbeng kadi nga inumek ti dara dagiti lallaki a nangipusta iti biagda?” Isu a nagkedked isuna nga inumen daytoy. Dagitoy dagiti banbanag nga inaramid dagiti tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki.
18 Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned among the three,
Ni Abisai a kabsat ni Joab a putot ni Zeruyas, ti kapitan dagiti tallo. Adda naminsan a nakiranget isuna babaen iti gayangna iti tallo gasut a lallaki ket pinatayna ida. Masansan a madakamat isuna a kadua dagiti tallo a soldado.
19 and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.
Saan kadi a nalatlatak isuna ngem kadagiti tallo? Isuna ti nagbalin a kapitanda. Nupay kasta, ti kinalatakna ket saan a kas iti kinalatak dagiti tallo a kalalatakan a soldado.
20 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days of snow.
Ni Benaias a taga-Kabzeel ket putot ni Jehoyada; maysa isuna a napigsa a lalaki a nakaaramid kadagiti aramid a mangipakita iti kinatured. Pinatayna dagiti dua a putot ni Ariel a taga-Moab. Bimmaba pay isuna iti maysa nga abut ket pinatayna ti maysa a leon kabayatan nga agtudtudo iti niebe.
21 He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.
Ken napatayna ti maysa a nagdakkel a lalaki nga Egipcio. Nakaiggem iti gayang daytoy nga Egipcio, ngem kinaranget daytoy ni Benaias babaen laeng iti sarukod. Inagawna ti gayang manipud iti ima ti Egipcio ket pinatayna isuna babaen iti daytoy met laeng a gayang.
22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.
Inaramid ni Benaias aputot ni Jehoyada dagitoy a kinatured, ket nainaganan isuna a kadua dagiti tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki.
23 And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.
Mararaem isuna ngem dagiti tallopulo a soldado, ngem saan isuna a mararaem a kas kadagiti tallo a mabigbigbig a soldado. Nupay kasta, isuna ti dinutokan ni David a mangimaton kadagiti guardiana.
24 Among the thirty were: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of his paternal uncle, from Bethlehem,
