Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Literal-Standard ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 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:

Ndị a bụ okwu ikpeazụ Devid kwuru: “Okwu pụrụ iche si nʼọnụ Devid, nwa Jesi, ihe si nʼọnụ nwoke ahụ Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu buliri elu. Nwoke ahụ onye Chineke nke Jekọb tere mmanụ, onye bụ ọka nʼịbụ abụ nʼala Izrel.

2 The Spirit of YHWH has spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.

“Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼọnụ m, okwu ya dịkwa m nʼire.

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.

Chineke Izrel kwuru okwu, Oke nkume Izrel sịrị m, ‘Mgbe mmadụ na-achị ndị ọzọ site nʼezi omume, mgbe ọ na-achị site nʼegwu Chineke.

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!

Ọ dị ka ìhè nke ụtụtụ, mgbe anyanwụ na-achawapụta nʼụtụtụ nke igwe ojii na-adịghị. Dịka ìhè na-acha mgbe mmiri zochara nke na-eme ka ahịhịa ndụ na-epupụta nʼala.’

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.

“Ọ bụrụ na ihe banyere ụlọ m ezighị ezi nʼebe Chineke nọ. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị ekwe ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ya, Ọgbụgba ndụ e doro nʼusoro nke e mere ka o guzosie ike nʼụzọ niile. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị eme ka nzọpụta m zuo oke. Ma mezukwaara m ọchịchọ obi m niile.

6 As for the worthless—All of them [are] driven away as a thorn, For they are not taken away by hand;

Ma ndị ajọ mmadụ ka a ga-atụfu nʼakụkụ dịka ogwu, nke mmadụ anaghị eji aka ekpokọta.

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.”

Onye ọbụla metụrụ ogwu aka, bụ onye nwere ngwa ọrụ igwe maọbụ osisi ùbe. A na-esure ha ọkụ nʼebe ha tọgbọrọ.”

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.

Ndị a bụ aha ndị dike nʼagha Devid nwere: Josheb-Bashebet, onye Takemon, bụ onyeisi nke mmadụ atọ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom asatọ, bụ ndị o gburu nʼotu mgbe ibu agha.

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—

Onye nke na-eso ya bụ Elieza, nwa Dodayi, onye Ahohi. Dịka otu nʼime ndị dike atọ ahụ, ya na Devid nọ mgbe ha na-akwa ndị Filistia emo, bụ ndị zukọrọ na Pas Damim ibu agha. Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel lara azụ,

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.

ma Elieza guzoro na-alaghị azụ. O gbugidere ndị Filistia ruo mgbe ike gwuru aka ya. Aka ya rapakwaara na mma agha. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara ha mmeri dị ukwuu nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ndị agha ahụ laghachikwutere Elieza, maọbụ naanị ka ha yipụsịa ndị ahụ e gburu egbu ihe ha yi nʼahụ.

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,

Onye nke atọ bụ Shama, nwa Agee, onye Hara. Mgbe ndị Filistia chịkọtara onwe ha nʼotu ebe, nke e nwere otu ubi jupụtara na lentil, ma ndị agha Izrel niile sitere nʼebe ha nọ gbapụ.

12 and he stations himself in the midst of the portion, and delivers it, and strikes the Philistines, and YHWH works a great salvation.

Ma naanị Shama guzoro nʼetiti ubi lentil ahụ. Ọ napụtara ya, tigbuo ndị Filistia niile ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyere mmeri dị ukwuu.

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,

Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, mmadụ atọ nʼime iri ndị dike atọ ahụ, jekwuru Devid nʼọgba nkume Adulam, mgbe otù ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

14 and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

Ma Devid nọ nʼebe ahụ ewusiri ike nʼoge ahụ, ma ọnọdụ ndị agha Filistia dị na Betlehem.

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?”

Agụụ mmiri gụrụ Devid nke ukwuu. Ọ sị, “Ọ ga-amasị m ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere onye ga-ekunye m mmiri ọṅụṅụ, site nʼolulu mmiri dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem!”

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,

Ya mere, ndị dike nʼagha atọ ahụ wakpuru ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, seta mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem, bulatara ya Devid. Ma Devid jụrụ ịṅụ ya, kama ọ wufuru ya nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

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].

Ọ sịrị, “Ya bụrụ m ihe arụ, Onyenwe anyị, na m ga-eme nke a. Nke a ọ bụghị ọbara ndị ikom a, ndị ji ndụ ha chụọ aja nʼihi ikute mmiri a?” Devid ekweghị aṅụ ya. Nke a bụ ụdị ike dike atọ ahụ kpara.

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.

Abishai, nwanne Joab, nwa Zeruaya, bụ onyeisi ndị ikom atọ ahụ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, tigbukwaa ha niile. Nʼihi nke a ọ ghọrọ onye a ma ama dịka mmadụ atọ ndị a.

19 Is he not the honored of the three? And he becomes their head; and he has not come to the [first] three.

Ma anaghị asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ? Ọ ghọrọ onyeisi ha. Ọ bụ ezie a na-agụnyeghị ya dịka otu onye nʼime ha.

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.

Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, onye si Kabzeel, bụ dike nʼagha nke kpara ike dị ukwuu. O tigburu dimkpa abụọ ndị Moab, ndị bụ ọkaka nʼagha. O rịdakwukwara ọdụm nʼime olulu na-amị amị nʼụbọchị mkpụrụ mmiri na-ezo, gbuo ya.

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.

O tigburu otu nwoke onye Ijipt, gbara dimkpa. Ọ bụ ezie na onye Ijipt ahụ ji ùbe nʼaka ya, ma Benaya ji naanị mkpọ jekwuru ya. Pụnara onye Ijipt ahụ ùbe dị nʼaka ya. Jiri ya magbuo ya

22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada has done these [things], and has a name among the three mighty ones.

Nke a bụ ụdị ike Benaya nwa Jehoiada kpara. Ya onwe ya nwekwara aha dịka ndị dike atọ mbụ.

23 He is honored more than the thirty, but he did not come to the three; and David sets him over his guard.

A na-asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nʼetiti iri dike atọ ndị ahụ, ma o rughị ogugo ndị dike atọ mbụ ahụ. Devid mere ya onyeisi ndị na-eche ya nche.
