Kings II 23
1 And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.
Ici nĩcio ciugo cia kũrigĩrĩria cia Daudi:
2 The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue.
“Roho wa Jehova nĩaririe na kanua gakwa;
3 The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will you strengthen the fear of the anointed?
Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩaririe,
4 And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
atuĩkaga ta ũtheri wa rũciinĩ riũa rĩkĩratha,
5 For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.
“Githĩ nyũmba yakwa ti nũngĩrĩru harĩ Mũrungu?
6 All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
No andũ arĩa aaganu othe magaateo ta mĩigua,
7 and a man shall not labor among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
Ũrĩa wothe ũhutagia mĩigua
8 These [are] the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ a Daudi arĩa maarĩ njamba: Joshebu-Bashebethu ũrĩa Mũtakemoni aarĩ mũnene wa arĩa atatũ; nake oire itimũ rĩake, akĩhũũra andũ magana manana, na akĩmooraga mbaara-inĩ ĩmwe.
9 And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
Mũnini wake eetagwo Eleazaru mũrũ wa Dodai, ũrĩa Mũahohi. Arĩ ũmwe wa arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba, aarĩ hamwe na Daudi hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moogitire Afilisti arĩa monganĩte hamwe kũu Pasi-Damimu marũe mbaara. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli makĩũra,
10 He arose an struck the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].
nowe ndoorire, akĩrũgama hau, akĩhũũra Afilisti acio nginya guoko gwake gũkĩganda kũnyiitĩte rũhiũ rwa njora o ro ũguo. Jehova akĩrehe ũhootani mũnene mũthenya ũcio. Nacio mbũtũ cia ita igĩcooka kũrĩ Eleazaru, magatahe indo cia andũ arĩa akuũ.
11 And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
Ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire aarĩ Shama mũrũ wa Agee ũrĩa Mũharari. Rĩrĩa Afilisti monganire hamwe handũ haarĩ mũgũnda waiyũrĩte ndengũ, ita rĩa Isiraeli rĩkĩmoorĩra.
12 And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.
No Shama ndoorire, akĩrũgama gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Akĩũgitĩra na akĩũraga Afilisti acio, nake Jehova akĩrehe ũhootani mũnene.
13 And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
Hĩndĩ ya magetha-rĩ, andũ atatũ thĩinĩ wa arĩa mĩrongo ĩtatũ anene magĩikũrũka kũrĩ Daudi kũu ngurunga-inĩ ya Adulamu, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbũtũ ya Afilisti yambĩte hema Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu.
14 And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩa hinya, nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.
15 And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”
16 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ maarĩ njamba magĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ita rĩa Afilisti, magĩtaha maaĩ gĩthima-inĩ kĩu kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu na makĩmatwarĩra Daudi. No Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua; akĩmaita mbere ya Jehova.
17 And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, ũhoro ũyũ ũrondaihĩrĩria, njage gwĩka ũguo! Githĩ ĩno ti thakame ya andũ arĩa megũthiĩte magetwarĩrĩria ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ?” Nake Daudi akĩrega kũnyua maaĩ macio. Maũndũ ta macio nĩmo meekagwo nĩ njamba icio ithatũ.
18 And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed; and he had a name among three.
Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia aarĩ mũnene wa acio atatũ. Nake akĩoya itimũ rĩake agĩtharĩkĩra andũ magana matatũ, akĩmooraga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa igweta o ta acio Atatũ.
19 Of those three [he was] most honorable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.
Githĩ ndaakĩgĩire na igweta inene gũkĩra acio Atatũ? Nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wao, o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.
20 And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he struck the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada aarĩ mũrũi njamba wa kuuma Kabizeeli, ũrĩa wekire maũndũ manene ma ũcamba. Nĩooragire njamba nene igĩrĩ cia ita cia Moabi. Ningĩ nĩatoonyire irima mũthenya warĩ na tharunji, akĩũraga mũrũũthi.
21 He struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
Nĩooragire Mũmisiri mũndũ warĩ mũnene mũno. O na gũtuĩka Mũmisiri ũcio nĩanyiitĩte itimũ na guoko gwake, Benaia aathiire akĩmũtharĩkĩra na njũgũma. Nake akĩhuria itimũ rĩu rĩarĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Mũmisiri ũcio na akĩmũũraga na itimũ rĩu rĩake.
22 These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ ma ũcamba marĩa meekirwo nĩ Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada; o nake aarĩ igweta o ta andũ arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba.
23 He was honorable among the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.
