2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man whom God raised up, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Ici nĩcio ciugo cia kũrigĩrĩria cia Daudi:
2 "The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
“Roho wa Jehova nĩaririe na kanua gakwa;
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩaririe,
4 shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.'
atuĩkaga ta ũtheri wa rũciinĩ riũa rĩkĩratha,
5 Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn't make it grow.
“Githĩ nyũmba yakwa ti nũngĩrĩru harĩ Mũrungu?
6 But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
No andũ arĩa aaganu othe magaateo ta mĩigua,
7 But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place."
Ũrĩa wothe ũhutagia mĩigua
8 These are the names of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.
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 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
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, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
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 After him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from 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 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
No Shama ndoorire, akĩrũgama gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Akĩũgitĩra na akĩũraga Afilisti acio, nake Jehova akĩrehe ũhootani mũnene.
13 And three of the Thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
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 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩa hinya, nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.
15 And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."
Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”
16 The Three warriors broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to 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 He said, "Far be it from me, LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
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 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the 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 He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.
Githĩ ndaakĩgĩire na igweta inene gũkĩra acio Atatũ? Nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wao, o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.
20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
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 killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of 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 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
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 more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the Thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo from Bethlehem,
