2 Samuel 23
1 And these are the last words of David. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
Magi e weche Daudi mogik: Weche mag Daudi wuod Jesse, weche ngʼat motingʼ malo gi Ngʼat Mamalo Mogik, ngʼat mowir gi Nyasach Jakobo, jawer wende mag Israel.
2 The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me, and his word was upon my tongue.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo kotiyo koda, wechene ne ni e dhoga.
3 [Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;
Nyasach Israel nowuoyo; Lwanda mar Israel nowachona ni: Ka ngʼato otelo ni ji e yo makare, kendo ka olocho koluoro Nyasaye,
4 And as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from the earth.
to ochalo gi ler mar okinyi ka chiengʼ wuok, okinyi maonge boche polo, machalo gi ler polo bangʼ chue koth mamiyo lum loth.
5 Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my desire?
Donge oda nikare e nyim Nyasaye? Donge Osesingore koda gi singruok mochwere, mochan kendo morit chuth? Donge obiro kelo olemb warruokna kendo miya gik ma chunya dwaro duto?
6 But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;
To joma richo ibiro wit tenge ka kuthe ma ok nyal chok gi lwedo.
7 But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.
Ngʼama choko kuthe konyore gi gima olos gi nyinyo kata gi ragwar, kendo wangʼogi kama ochokgie.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain at one time.
Magi e nyinge thuondi mag Daudi: Josheb-Bashebeth ja-Takemon, ne thuon kuom thuondi adek; nokawo tongʼe monegogo ji mia aboro e lweny dichiel.
9 And after him was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;
Ngʼat maluwe ne en Eliazar wuod Dodai ma ja-Ahohi. Kaka achiel kuom thuondi adek, ne en gi Daudi kane gijaro jo-Filistia mano chokore Pas Damim ne lweny. Eka jolwenj Israel noringo,
10 He then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after him only to strip [the slain].
to en nochungʼ kar tiende mi nonego jo-Filistia nyaka bade nojony ma lwete omoko e ligangla. Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ chiengʼno, jolweny noduogo ir Eliazar to mana ni yako gige joma otho.
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from the Philistines;
Maluwe ne en Shama wuod Agee ma ja-Harar. Kane jo-Filistia ochokore kama ne nitie puoth ngʼor, jo-Israel noringogi.
12 But he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
To Shama nochungʼ kar tiende e dier puodhono. Norite monego jo-Filistia, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ.
13 And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
E kinde mag keyo, adek kuom thuondi piero adek madongo nobiro ir Daudi e rogo man Adulam, ka jolweny mag jo-Filistia to nojot e Holo mar Refaim.
14 And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
E kindeno Daudi nopondo e rogo kendo jo-Filistia to nochokore Bethlehem.
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
Daudi riyo noloyo mowacho niya, “Yaye mad ne ngʼato kelnae pi soko man but ranga Bethlehem mondo amodhi!”
16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
Eka thuondi adekgo nomwomo kama jolwenj jo-Filistia nochanore mi gitwomo pi e soko mane nitie but ranga Bethlehem kendo giterone Daudi. To notamore modho pigno, to kar modhe to noologo piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
17 And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ok datim ma ngangʼ! Donge ma en remb joma nodhi ka ok odewo ngimagi?” Kendo Daudi ne ok omodho pigno. Mago e gik mane thuondi adekgo otimo.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the three.
Abishai owadgi Joab wuod Zeruya ne en thuon moloyo thuondi adekgo. Nokawo tongʼe monego ji mia adek, kendo nomiyo obedo gi huma mana kaka thuondi adek ka.
19 Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
Donge noyudo pak mathoth moloyo thuondi adekgo? Nobedo jatendgi kata obedo nine ok en achiel kuomgi.
20 And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;
Benaya wuod Jehoyada ne jalweny mathuon moa Kabzel, notimo timbe madongo. Nonego ji ariyo mag Moab mane ger ka sibuor. Chiengʼ moro nodonjo e bur ka piny otimo pe mi onego sibuor.
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Bende en ema nonego ja-Misri marabet. Kata nobedo ni ja-Misrino ne nigi tongʼ e lwete, Benaya nodhi kedo kode kotingʼo arungu. Noyudho tongʼ e lwet ja-Misrino monege gi tonge owuon.
22 These things did Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and he had a name among the three mighty men.
Mago e timbe mag thuon mane Benaya wuod Jehoyada otimo, en bende ne en rahuma ka thuondi adek ka.
23 He was more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
Nomiye luor maduongʼ moloyo thuondi piero adekgo, to kata kamano ne ok en achiel kuom thuondi adekgo madongo. Daudi nokete jatend jolweny mane rite.
24 'Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elchanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lechem,
Ji duto mane ni e kwan mar jolweny mathuondi piero adek ne gin: Asahel owadgi Joab, Elhanan wuod Dodo ma ja-Bethlehem,
