2 Samuel 23
1 These are David's last words. The divine message of David son of Jesse, the divine message of the man made great by God, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the wonderful psalm-writer of Israel:
David, wen natul Jesse, el pa mwet se su God El oru in pwengpeng, su God lal Jacob el sulella tuh elan tokosra, oayapa el pa mwet orek on wolana lun mwet Israel. Pa inge kas safla lal David:
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; my tongue gave his message.
Ngun lun LEUM GOD kaskas nu sik tuh nga in fahk nu suwos; Kas lal oan in oalik.
3 Israel's God spoke; Israel's Rock told me, ‘He who rules the people justly, he who rules respecting God,
God lun Israel El kaskas tari; El su karinganang Israel El fahk nu sik, “Tokosra se su leum ke nununku suwohs, Su akos God ke el leumi mwet uh,
4 is like the light of the morning sunrise on a cloudless dawn; like the shining of raindrops on the new grass growing from the earth.’
El oana kalmen faht ke sie lotutang wangin pukunyeng, Faht se su oru mah uh saromrom tukun af uh.”
5 Isn't this how my family is with God? For he has made an everlasting agreement with me, set out in detail and with every part guaranteed. He will make sure to save me and to give me all I want.
Pa inge ouiyen akinsewowo lun God nu sin fita luk, Mweyen El orala sie wulela nu sik su fah oan ma pahtpat, Sie oakwuk su ac fah tia kunausyukla, Sie wulela su ac fah tia ikilyukla. Pwayena ma nga lungse. Pa inge mwe kutangla luk, Ac God El ac fah oru tuh in sikyak ouinge.
6 But evil people are like thorns to be thrown aside; they can't be held in the hand.
A mwet tia etu ke God elos oana otonmu ma mwet uh sisla; Wangin mwet ku in kahlye fin tia nukla pao.
7 The only way to deal with them is to use an iron tool or the handle of a spear. They are completely burned up right where they are.”
Kom enenu in orekmakin kufwen sroasr osra, ku osra in fakfuk; Mwet inge ac fah firiryak nufon.
8 These are the names of the leading warriors who supported David: Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, leader of the Three. Using his spear, he once killed eight hundred men in a single battle.
Pa inge inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David: mwet se meet uh pa Josheb Basshebeth mwet Tachemon, ac el mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwuk kin osra natul lain mwet oalfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.
9 After him came Eleazar, son of Dodai, the Ahohite, one of the Three leading warriors. He was with David when they defied the Philistines gathered for battle at Pas-dammin. The Israelites retreated,
Mwet se akluo ke mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh. Sie len ah, el ac David lain mwet Philistia su fahsreni in mweun. Mwet Israel elos foloki,
10 but Eleazar took his stand and went on killing Philistines until his hand stuck to his sword. The Lord saved them by granting them a great victory. The Israelite army did return, but only to strip the dead.
a el tu na lain mwet Philistia nwe ke na paol tulakyak ac el tia ku in fuhlela cutlass natul ah. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac. Tukun tari mweun ah, mwet Israel elos folokla nu yorol Eleazar ac elos sarukla mwe mweun liki monin mwet misa.
11 After him came Shammah, son of Agee, the Hararite. When the Philistines gathered at Lehi, in a field full of lentils, the Israelite army ran away from them,
Mwet se aktolu ke mwet pwengpeng tolu ah pa Shammah, wen natul Agee, mwet Harar. Mwet Philistia elos tuh fahsreni nu Lehi, acn se ma oasr ima in pea se we. Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Philistia,
12 but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defending it and killing the Philistines. The Lord gave them a great victory.
a Shammah el tia kaing. El tu na in ima sac ac loangela, ac uniya mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac.
13 At harvest time, the Three, who were part of the Thirty leading warriors, went down to meet David when he was at the cave of Adullam. The Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim.
Ke apkuranyang pacl in kosrani ah, tolu sin u se pangpang “Mwet Tolngoul” eltal tufokla nu ke Luf Adullam, acn David el tuh muta we. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia su muta ke nien aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.
14 At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
Ke pacl se ingan David el muta ke sie tohktok ma kuhlusyukyak, ac sie pac un mwet Philistia elos sruokya acn Bethlehem ac muta we.
15 David was feeling really thirsty, and he said, “If only someone could bring me a drink of water from the well beside the entrance gate to Bethlehem!”
David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem.”
16 The Three leading warriors broke through the Philistine defenses, took some water from the well at Bethelehem's gate, and brought it back to David. But David refused to drink it, and poured it out as an offering to the Lord.
Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utiya kof ke lufin kof sac, ac usla nu yorol David. Tusruktu el tiana nimya, a el okoala nu infohk uh tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
17 “Lord, never let me do this!” he said. “Isn't it like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives?” So he did not drink it. This is just some of the things the Three leading warriors did.
El fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga koflana nim kof se inge, mweyen ac oana ngan nim srahn mwet su pilesrala moul lalos inge!” Ouinge el srangesr nim. Na pa ingan orekma pulaik lun mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah.
18 Abishai, Joab's brother, was leader of the second Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men, and became famous among the Three.
Abishai, tamulel lal Joab (nina kialtal pa Zeruiah) el pa mwet kol lun “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
19 He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.
El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul,” ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.
20 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, a strong warrior from Kabzeel, did many amazing things. He killed two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went after a lion into a pit in the snow and killed it.
Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie pac mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac pus ma pulaik el orala. Sie pacl ah el uniya mwet mweun na ku luo lun mwet Moab. Oayapa sie len ma yohk snow ah, el tufoki nu in luf se ac uniya lion soko.
21 Another time he killed a huge Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand but Benaiah attacked him with just a club. He grabbed the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
El uniya pac sie mwet Egypt na lulap su sruokya osra soko, a Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.
22 These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.
Pa ingan orekma pulaik lal Benaiah su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
23 He was the most highly regarded of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. David put him in charge of his personal bodyguard.
Arulana eteyuk el inmasrlolos, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. David el sang tuh elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.
