2 Samuel 23
1 And these [are] the last words of David: “A declaration of David son of Jesse, And a declaration of the man raised up—Concerning the anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweetness of the songs of Israel:
He tah David kah olka, Jesse capa David kah hmailong olphong, Jakob Pathen loh a koelh tih sang la thoh hlang kah olphong, Israel kah laa ding ni.
2 The Spirit of YHWH has spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.
BOEIPA kah Mueihla he kai dongah cal tih, a ol te ka lai dongah om.
3 He said—the God of Israel—to me, He spoke—the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.
Israel Pathen loh kai taengah a thui tih, “Israel lungpang tah hlang soah a dueng la aka taemrhai tih Pathen hinyahnah neh aka taem aka rhai la om.
4 And he rises as the light of morning, A morning sun [with] no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!
Mincang khosae khomik aka thoeng bangla, mincang khomai a om pawt dongah a aa bangla, khotlan hnukah diklai lamkah baelhing banghui ni.
5 For though my house [is] not so with God; So He made a perpetual covenant with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For all my salvation, and all desire, For He has not caused [it] to spring up.
Ka imkhui he Pathen neh doda uh ngawn pawt cakhaw kumhal paipi tah kamah taengah ni a khueh. A cungkuem dongah rhong a tael tih ka daemnah cungkuem te a ngaithuen. Te dongah ka hue ngaih boeih te khaw cuen voel pawh.
6 As for the worthless—All of them [are] driven away as a thorn, For they are not taken away by hand;
Tedae aka muen tah hling bangla a thaek banlak tih kut nen khaw lo voel pawh.
7 And the man who comes against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And they are utterly burned with fire In the cessation.”
Amih aka ben hlang long tah thi neh caai tueng khaw cung tih amah hmuen ah hmai neh a hoeh la a hoeh uh,” a ti.
8 These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David has: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains—he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred—wounded at one time.
He rhoek he tah David kah hlangrhalh rhoek kah a ming ni. Takhemoni Joshebbashebeth tah boeilu la om tih anih tah amah kah caai neh yahuem sut. Caai nen te hlang ya rhet mai voei khat la a rhokpam sak.
9 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines—they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up—
Anih hnuk, anih hnukah tah Akhohi capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar khaw David taengkah hlangrhalh pathum khuiah thum. Amih te a veet tih caemtloek ham Philisti rhoek a tingtun uh vaengah Israel hlang khaw a khuen uh.
10 he has arisen, and strikes among the Philistines until his hand has been weary, and his hand cleaves to the sword, and YHWH works a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.
Te dongah anih te thoo tih a kut a kohnue neh cunghang dongah a kut rhap a khoom duela Philisti te a tloek. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah khohnin ah loeihnah tanglue a saii pah tih pilnam khaw anih hnukah hnopai pit ham dawk la ha pawk uh.
11 And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is a portion of the field full of lentils there, and the people have fled from the presence of the Philistines,
Anih phoeiah Harari Agee capa Shammah a om vaengah Philisti tah mulhing bangla tingtun uh. Te vaengah lohma kah khamyai ah rhacik khawk om tapkhoeh. Pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham coeng.
12 and he stations himself in the midst of the portion, and delivers it, and strikes the Philistines, and YHWH works a great salvation.
Te vaengah khamyai bangli ah pai tih pilnam te a huul. Philisti te a ngawn vaengah BOEIPA loh loeihnah tanglue a saii pah.
13 And three of the thirty heads go down and come to the harvest, to David, to the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the Valley of Rephaim,
A lu sawmthum pathum khuikah sawmthum te suntla uh tih cangah vaengah Adullam lungko kah David taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah Philisti mulhing tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh pueng.
14 and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
Te vaengah David te rhalvong khuiah om tih Philisti rhaltawt hmuen tah Bethlehem ah om van.
15 and David longs and says, “Who gives me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?”
David loh vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui ke a ngaidam tih, “U long nim kai n'tul lah ve,” a ti.
16 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring [it] to David; and he was not willing to drink it, and pours it out to YHWH,
Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh Philisti kah rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla a pawk puei uh. Tedae a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA hmaiah a hawk.
17 and says, “Far be it from me, O YHWH, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?” And he was not willing to drink it; the three mighty ones did these [things].
Te vaengah, “He ka saii ham kai lamkah tah savisava BOEIPA, a hinglu aka caeh puei hlang rhoek kah a thii a? a ti tih ok ham huem pawh. Hlangrhalh pathum long khaw te tlam te ni a saii uh.
18 And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred—wounded, and he has a name among three.
Zeruiah capa Joab mana Abishai tah pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum a rhokpam sak. Te dongah anih tah pathum lakah a ming om.
19 Is he not the honored of the three? And he becomes their head; and he has not come to the [first] three.
Pathum lakah a thangpom het a? Te dongah amih taengah mangpa la om cakhaw pathum te a pha moenih.
20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valor, great in deeds from Kabzeel), has struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he has gone down and struck the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.
Kabzeel lamkah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangtang capa, tatthai neh a bisai khaw khuet. Anih loh Moab kah sathueng hlang panit te a ngawn. Te phoeiah anih te suntla tih vuel hla dongah vaam kah sathueng khui ah aka om sathueng te a ngawn.
21 And he has struck the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and a spear [is] in the hand of the Egyptian, and he goes down to him with a rod, and takes the spear violently away out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slays him with his own spear.
Anih loh Egypt hlang tah a mueimae hlang aka then khaw a ngawn bal. Egypt kut dongah caai om dae a conghol neh a suntlak thil. Te phoeiah Egypt kut lamkah caai te a rhawth pah tih amah caai neh amah te a ngawn.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada has done these [things], and has a name among the three mighty ones.
Te te a saii dongah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangrhalh pathum dongah a ming thum.
23 He is honored more than the thirty, but he did not come to the three; and David sets him over his guard.
Sawmthum lakah a thangpom dongah pathum taengah thum sak voel pawt tih anih te David amah kah a taengom la a khueh.
