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:
Ary izao no fara-teny nataon’ i Davida: hoy Davida, zanak’ i Jese, dia ny lehilahy izay voasandratra ho ambony, Ilay voahosotry ny Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba sady mpanao fihirana mahafinaritra amin’ ny Isiraely:
2 The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me, and his word was upon my tongue.
Ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah no mampiteny ahy, ary ny teniny no eo amin’ ny lelako;
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;
Andriamanitry ny Isiraely manao hoe, eny, ny Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely miteny amiko hoe: Indro ny Mpanapaka ny olona; Marina Izy sady manapaka amin’ ny fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra;
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.
Ary izany dia toy ny fahazavan’ ny maraina, raha miposaka ny masoandro, dia ilay maraina tsy misy rahona iny; Ary ny ahitra manorobona amin’ ny tany noho ny hain’ andro manarakaraka ny ranonorana.
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?
Ary tsy toy izany indrindra amin’ Andriamanitra va ny taranako? Fa fanekena mandrakizay no nataony tamiko, Voalamina amin’ ny zavatra rehetra sady voatandrina; Fa ny famonjena ahy rehetra sy ny iriko rehetra, moa tsy hampitsimohiny va?
6 But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;
Fa ny tena ratsy fanahy rehetra kosa dia tahaka ny tsilo ariana, Fa tsy azo raisin’ ny tanana izy;
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.
Ary ny olona izay mikasika azy Dia tsy maintsy mitondra vy sy zaran-defona; Ary hodorana amin’ ny afo avokoa amin’ izay itoerany ireny.
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.
Ary izao no anaran’ ny lehilahy maherin’ i Davida: Joseba-basebeta Takemonita no lehiben’ ny mpanafika malaza; izy ilay Edino Eznita izay namely ny valon-jato lahy ka nahafaty azy tamin’ ny ady indray mandeha monja.
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;
Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Dodo, zanak’ i Ahohita, anankiray amin’ izy telo lahy mahery teo amin’ i Davida, raha nihaika ny Filistina izay niangona hiady ireo, ka niakatra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely;
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].
dia nitsangana Eleazara ka namely ny Filistina mandra-pahavizan’ ny tànany ka efa niraikitra tamin’ ny sabatra; ary Jehovah nanao famonjena lehibe tamin’ izany andro izany, ka ny haka babo ihany no sisa nanarahan’ ny olona azy.
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;
Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Sama, zanak’ i Age Hararita. Ary nony nivory ho iray toko teo amin’ ny tany nisy voanemba maniry ny Filistina, ary ny olona nandositra azy,
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.
dia nijanona teo afovoan’ io tany io kosa izy ka nahazo io ary namono ny Filistina; ka dia nanao famonjena lehibe Jehovah.
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.
Ary nisy telo lahy samy malaza avy tamin’ ny telo-polo lahy nidina ka tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao amin’ ny zohin’ i Adolama nony fararano; ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina nitoby teo amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
14 And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
Ary Davida dia tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana tamin’ izay, ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina kosa dia tao Betlehema.
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!
Ary Davida naniry ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hampisotro rano ahy avy amin’ ny fantsakana ao Betlehema, ilay ao akaikin’ ny vavahady!
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.
Ary ireo telo lahy mahery namaky teo amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina ka nanovo rano tamin’ ny fantsakana tao Betlehema, izay teo anilan’ ny vavahady, dia nentiny ho any amin’ i Davida; kanjo tsy nety nisotro izy, fa naidiny ho an’ i Jehovah iny.
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.
Fa hoy Davida: Sanatria, Jehovah ô, raha hanao izany aho; tsy ran’ ny lehilahy izay nandeha nanao vy very ny ainy va ity? Ka dia tsy nety nisotro izy. Izany zavatra izany no nataon’ ireo telo lahy mahery ireo.
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.
Ary Abisay, rahalahin’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no lehibe amin’ izy telo lahy, ary izy namely ny telon-jato lahy tamin’ ny lefona ka nahafaty azy, ka dia izy no nalaza tamin’ izy telo lahy.
19 Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
Tsy izy va no be voninahitra noho izy telo lahy? Fa izy no lehibeny; nefa tsy nahomby ny telo lahy teo izy.
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;
Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, zanaky ny lehilahy mahay tany Kabezela, izay nahavita asa be, izy no namono ny roa lahy mahery tany Moaba; ary izy no nidina ka namono ny liona tao an-davaka fantsakana tamin’ ilay andro nisy oram-panala iny;
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.
ary izy koa no namono ilay Egyptiana makadiry be; ary ilay Egyptiana nitondra lefona teny an-tànany, nefa namorotsahan’ i Benaia tamin’ ny tehiny ihany izy, dia nosarihany ny lefona teny an-tànan’ ilay Egyptiana, ka iny lefony iny ihany no namonoany azy.
22 These things did Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and he had a name among the three mighty men.
Izany no nataon’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary tamin’ izy telo lahy mahery dia izy no nalaza.
23 He was more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
Izy no nalaza noho ny telo-polo lahy, nefa tsy nahomby azy telo lahy teo izy. Ary Davida nanendry azy ho isan’ ny mpanolo-tsaina azy.
