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:
Wọ̀nyí sì ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìkẹyìn Dafidi. “Dafidi ọmọ Jese, àní ọkùnrin tí a ti gbéga, ẹni àmì òróró Ọlọ́run Jakọbu, àti olórin dídùn Israẹli wí pé,
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; my tongue gave his message.
“Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sọ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa mi, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ ní ahọ́n mi.
3 Israel's God spoke; Israel's Rock told me, ‘He who rules the people justly, he who rules respecting God,
Ọlọ́run Israẹli ni, àpáta Israẹli sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ẹnìkan ti ń ṣe alákòóso ènìyàn lódodo, tí ń ṣàkóso ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
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.’
Yóò sì dàbí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀ nígbà tí oòrùn bá là, òwúrọ̀ tí kò ní ìkùùkuu, nígbà tí koríko tútù bá hù wá láti ilẹ̀ lẹ́yìn òjò.’
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.
“Lóòtítọ́ ilé mi kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n ó ti bá mi dá májẹ̀mú àìnípẹ̀kun, tí a túnṣe nínú ohun gbogbo, tí a sì pamọ́; nítorí pé gbogbo èyí ni ìgbàlà, àti gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi, ilé mi kò lè ṣe kí ó má dàgbà.
6 But evil people are like thorns to be thrown aside; they can't be held in the hand.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Beliali yóò dàbí ẹ̀gún ẹ̀wọ̀n tí a ṣá tì, nítorí pé a kò lè fi ọwọ́ kó wọn.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí yóò tọ́ wọn yóò fi irin àti ọ̀pá ọ̀kọ̀ ṣagbára yí ara rẹ̀ ká; wọ́n ó jóná lúúlúú níbìkan náà.”
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.
Wọ̀nyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn akọni ọkùnrin tí Dafidi ní: Joṣebu-Basṣebeti ará Takemoniti ni olórí àwọn balógun, òun sì ni akọni rẹ̀ tí ó pa ẹgbẹ̀rin ènìyàn lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.
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,
Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Eleasari ọmọ Dodo ará Ahohi, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin mẹ́ta ti ó wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, nígbà tí wọ́n pe àwọn Filistini ní ìjà, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì ti lọ kúrò.
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.
Òun sì dìde, ó sì kọlu àwọn Filistini títí ọwọ́ fi kún un, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì lẹ̀ mọ́ idà; Olúwa sì ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà ńlá lọ́jọ́ náà, àwọn ènìyàn sì padà bọ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ láti kó ìkógun.
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,
Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Ṣamma ọmọ Agee ará Harari, àwọn Filistini sì kó ara wọn jọ láti piyẹ́, oko kan sì wà níbẹ̀ tí ó kún fun lẹntili, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli sì sá kúrò níwájú àwọn Filistini.
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.
Ṣamma sì dúró láàrín méjì ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì gbà á sílẹ̀, ó sì pa àwọn Filistini Olúwa sì ṣe ìgbàlà ńlá.
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.
Mẹ́ta nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n ìjòyè sọ̀kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tọ Dafidi wá ní àkókò ìkórè nínú ihò Adullamu, ọ̀wọ́ àwọn Filistini sì dó sí àfonífojì Refaimu.
14 At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
Dafidi sì wà nínú odi, ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu nígbà náà.
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!”
Dafidi sì ń pòǹgbẹ, ó wí báyìí pé, “Ta ni yóò fún mi mu nínú omí kànga tí ń bẹ ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè.”
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.
Àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta sì la ogún àwọn Filistini lọ, wọ́n sì fa omi láti inú kànga Bẹtilẹhẹmu wá, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè, wọ́n sì mú tọ Dafidi wá, òun kò sì fẹ́ mu nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó tú u sílẹ̀ fún Olúwa.
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.
Òun sì wí pé, “Kí a má rí, Olúwa, tí èmi ó fi ṣe èyí; ṣé èyí ni ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó lọ tí àwọn tí ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́?” Nítorí náà òun kò sì fẹ́ mú un. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta yìí ṣe.
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.
Abiṣai, arákùnrin Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah, òun náà ni pàtàkì nínú àwọn mẹ́ta. Òun ni ó sì gbé ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sókè sí ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ènìyàn, ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta.
19 He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.
Ọlọ́lá jùlọ ni òun jẹ́ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, ó sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ìṣáájú.
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, ọmọ Jehoiada, ọmọ akọni ọkùnrin kan tí Kabṣeeli, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ní iṣẹ́ agbára, òun pa àwọn ọmọ Arieli méjì ti Moabu; ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ó sì pa kìnnìún kan nínú ihò lákoko òjò-dídì.
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.
Ó sì pa ará Ejibiti kan, ọkùnrin tí ó dára láti wò, ará Ejibiti náà sì ní ọ̀kọ̀ kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Benaiah sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ní ọwọ́, ó sì gba ọ̀kọ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ pa á.
22 These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ṣe, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta náà.
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.
Nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà, òun ní ọlá jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ti ìṣáájú. Dafidi sì fi í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
