2 Samuel 23
1 These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,
Bino bye bigambo ebya Dawudi, mutabani wa Yese, eby’enkomerero: ebigambo eby’omusajja eyagulumizibwa, Ali Waggulu ennyo, Katonda wa Yakobo gwe yafukako amafuta, omuyimbi wa Zabbuli za Isirayiri:
2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.
“Omwoyo wa Mukama yayogerera mu nze, ekigambo kye kyali mu kamwa kange.
3 The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.
Katonda wa Isirayiri yayogera, olwazi lwa Isirayiri yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Omuntu bw’afuga n’obutuukirivu, n’afugira mu kutya Katonda,
4 Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.
ali ng’ekitangaala eky’oku makya, enjuba ng’evaayo ku ggulu nga tekuli bire, obudde nga butangaala oluvannyuma lw’enkuba okukya ereetera omuddo okuvaayo mu ttaka.’
5 For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.
Ennyumba yange tetuukiridde mu maaso ga Katonda? Teyalagaana nange endagaano ey’enkalakkalira, n’agiteekateeka era n’aginyweza mu buli nsonga? Ekimulobera okumpa omukisa, n’okuddamu buli kye mmusaba, kiki?
6 But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.
Naye abatatya Katonda baliba nga amaggwa agasuulibwa wa bbali, kizibu okugakwata n’engalo.
7 But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.
Buli agakwatako kimugwanira okukozesa ekyuma oba olunyago lw’effumu, era gookerwa awo omuliro we bagakuŋŋaanyirizza.”
8 These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.
Gano ge mannya ag’abasajja ba Dawudi abalwanyi ab’amaanyi be yalina: Yosebu-Basusebesi Omutakemoni eyali omukulu wa bazira abasatu ab’oku ntikko; yatta abasajja lunaana mu lulumbagana lumu.
9 And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.
Eyamuddiriranga ye yali Eriyazaali mutabani wa Dodayi Omwakowa. Yali ne Dawudi bwe baasoomooza Abafirisuuti abaali bakuŋŋaanye okulwana. Abasajja ba Isirayiri baali bazze ennyuma,
10 He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.
naye ye nayimirira ku bubwe n’atta Abafirisuuti, n’omukono gwe ne gukoowa, ne gusanyalalira ku kitala. Mukama n’abawa obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi olunaku olwo, abaserikale ne baddayo eri Eriyazaali okunyaga ebintu byabo abattibwa.
11 After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.
Owookusatu ye yali Samma mutabani wa Agee Omukalali. Abafirisuuti bwe baakuŋŋaanira mu musiri ogw’ebijanjaalo, abasajja ba Isirayiri ne babadduka,
12 But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.
Samma yayimirira wakati mu musiri, n’agulwanirira, era n’atta Abafirisuuti. Mukama n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi.
13 Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
Mu kiseera eky’okukungula, basatu ku bakungu amakumi asatu ne bagenda eri Dawudi mu mpuku eya Adulamu, ekibinja ky’Abafirisuuti nga basiisidde mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.
14 And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.
Mu kiseera ekyo Dawudi yali mu kigo, n’olusiisira lw’Abafirisuuti nga luli mu Besirekemu.
15 And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.
Dawudi n’alumwa ennyonta, n’ayogera nti, “Waliwo omuntu ayinza okunsenera amazzi okuva mu luzzi oluliraanye wankaaki wa Besirekemu?”
16 The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,
Awo abasajja be abazira abasatu ne bawaguza mu nkambi ey’Abafirisuuti, ne basena amazzi okuva mu luzzi lwa Besirekemu olwali luliraanye wankaaki, ne bagatwalira Dawudi.
17 And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.
Naye mu kifo eky’okuganywa n’agayiwayo eri Mukama. N’ayogera nti, “Kikafuuwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda, nze okukola ekyo. Nnyinza ntya okunywa omusaayi ogw’abasajja abawaddeyo obulamu bwabwe?” Bw’atyo n’ataganywa. Ebyo bye bimu ku bintu abasajja abo abasatu abazira bye baakola.
18 And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.
Waaliwo ne Abisaayi muganda wa Yowaabu, mutabani wa Zeruyiya, naye nga mukulu w’abasajja amakumi asatu. Yayimusiza effumu lye eri abasajja ebikumi bisatu n’abatta, ne yeekolera erinnya okwenkanankana abasatu.
19 For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.
N’aba wa kitiibwa nnyo mu bali amakumi asatu newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abali abasatu.
20 And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.
Ne Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada ow’e Kabuzeeri yali musajja mulwanyi nnyo eyakola ebyobuzira ebikulu. Yatta babiri ku basajja abazira aba Mowaabu, ate n’aserengeta ne mu bunnya n’atta empologoma mu kiseera eky’obutiti.
21 And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.
N’atta Omumisiri omunene ennyo. Newaakubadde ng’Omumisiri yalina effumu mu mukono gwe, Benaya ye ng’alina muggo; yamunyagako effumu lye, n’alimuttisa.
22 These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.
Ebyo bye byobuzira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada bye yakola, era naye n’ayatiikirira ng’abasajja bali abasatu abazira.
23 He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
N’aweebwa ekitiibwa mu makumi asatu, newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abasatu. Dawudi n’amufuula omukulu w’abambowa.
24 Asahel the brother of Ioab was one of the thirtie: Elhanan the sonne of Dodo of Beth-lehem:
