2 Samuel 23

1 Now these are David’s last words. David the son of Isai said: The man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the excellent psalmist of Israel said:

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 hath spoken by me and his word by my tongue.

“Hafuurri Waaqayyoo karaa kootiin dubbateera; dubbiin isaas arraba koo irra ture.

3 The God of Israel said to me, the strong one of Israel spoke, the ruler of men, the just ruler in the fear of God.

Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateera; Kattaan Israaʼel akkana naan jedhe: ‘Namni qajeelummaan saba bulchu, kan sodaa Waaqaatiin bulchu,

4 As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.

inni akka ifa biiftuu ganamaa kan iddoo duumessi hin jirretti baʼuu, akkuma ifa aduu kan erga bokkaan caamee booddee marga biqilchuu ti.’

5 Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up.

“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 transgressors shall all of them be plucked up as thorns: which are not taken away with hands.

Namoonni hamoon hundinuu garuu akkuma qoraattii harkaan walitti hin qabamneetti gatamu.

7 And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing.

Namni qoraattii tuqu kam iyyuu miʼa sibiilaa yookaan somaa eeboo qabata; qoraattiin sunis lafuma jirutti gubama.”

8 These are the names of the valiant men of David. Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.

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 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.

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 And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.

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 Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines,

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 He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory.

Saamaan garuu lafa qotiisaa walakkaatti iddoo qabatee ture. Innis irraa ittisuudhaan Filisxeemota fixe; Waaqayyos moʼannaa guddaa kenne.

13 Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants.

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 And David was then in a hold. and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem.

Yeroo sanatti Daawit daʼannoo cimaa keessa ture; loltoonni Filisxeem immoo Beetlihem turan.

15 And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.

Daawitis Dheebotee, “Utuu namni tokko boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan dhugaatii naa fidee hoo!” jedhe.

16 And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it 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: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these 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 Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among 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 And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not.

Abiishaayin warra sadan caalaa ulfina hin argannee ree? Inni yoo isaan keessaa tokko taʼuu baate iyyuu ajajaa isaanii taʼe.

20 And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow.

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 slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him 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 things did Banaias the son of Joiada.

Hojiiwwan gootummaa kanneen Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hojjete kana faʼi; innis akkuma namoota jajjaboo sadan sanaa nama beekamaa ture.

23 And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained riot to the first three: and David made him of his privy council.

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 Asael the brother of Joab was one of the thirty, Elehanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem.
