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:
Hetnaw teh a hnukteng Devit ni lawk a dei e naw doeh. Jesi capa Devit a rasangnae koe tawmrasang e lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut ni satui a awi e, Isarel hanelah la kahawi ka phuengkung ni hettelah a dei.
2 "The Spirit of YHWH spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
BAWIPA e Muitha ni kai hno lahoi a dei. A lawk teh ka lai dawk ao.
3 The God of Jacob said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
Isarel Cathut Isarel lungsong ni, kai koevah a dei. Taminaw kaukkung teh, a lan roeroe vaiteh, Cathut taki nalaihoi a uk han.
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.'
Khopâui hoeh, kanî ka tâcawt e amom e angnae patetlah thoseh, khorak hnukkhu, kanî a tâco teh talai dawk hoi phokahring ka cawn e patetlah thoseh ao han.
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.
Ka imthung teh Cathut hoeh laipalah nakunghai, a yungyoe lawkkamnae kai hoi ka sak roi toe. Hote lawkkam teh tangka kuep hoeh nakunghai, kaie rungngangnae hoi kai ni ka ngainae lah ao.
6 But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
Kai cungkeihoehe taminaw teh, tâkhawng e pâkhig patetlah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh kut hoi la thai lah awm hoeh.
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."
Ka tek e tami ni sum hoi tahroe hah hno han a ngai. Hahoi teh, amamae hmuen dawk hmai hoi koung sawi lah ao han telah na pato a ti.
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.
Hetnaw heh Devit e athakaawme taminaw doeh. Takhemon tami Joshebbashebeth teh ransa kacuenaw thung dawk kacuepoung e lah ao. Ahni teh tahroe hah a sin teh, tami 800 touh vaitalahoi a thei.
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.
Ahni hnuk vah, Aho capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar doeh. Ahni teh taran ka tuk hanelah kamkhueng e Filistinnaw hoi a kâtâ awh lahun hah, Isarelnaw koung a yawng navah, Devit koe e athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk e buet touh lah ao.
10 He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and YHWH worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
Ahni teh a thaw teh, Filistinnaw koe a kut a pho teh a kut nget a tawn totouh Filistinnaw hah a bouk. Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni lentoenae lahoi a tâ pouh. Ahnimanaw teh tarannaw e hnopai hah a la hanelah doeh a ban awh toe.
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.
Ahni hnuk vah, Hararite tami Agee capa Shammah doeh. Baphoungkung a thanae hmuen koe Filistinnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, taminaw ni Filistinnaw a yawng takhai awh.
12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and YHWH worked a great victory.
Ahni teh hote hmuen koe a kangdue teh a ring. Filistin tami hah a thei teh, BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae a poe.
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.
Ransa tarankahawi e thung dawk 30 touh a cathuk awh teh, canganae tueng dawk, Devit aonae koe Adullam talungkhu dawk a cei awh teh, Filistin ransanaw teh Rephaim yawn dawk a tungpup awh.
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
Hatnae tueng navah, Devit teh rapan dawk ao teh, Filistinnaw teh Bethlehem kho vah ao awh.
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."
Devit ni dik a doun nalaihoi Bethlehem e tuikhu tui rapan teng e hah nei hane na kapoekung awm haw pawiteh aw telah a ti.
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 YHWH.
Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh ni Filistin ransahu pat a raka teh rapan teng e Bethlehem kho e tuikhu tui hah a do awh. Devit koe a ceikhai awh teh, ahni ni net ngai hoeh. BAWIPA e hmaitung vah a rabawk.
17 He said, "Far be it from me, YHWH, 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.
Oe BAWIPA hete tui heh kai ni ka net mahoeh. Due hane hai taket laipalah kacetnaw e thi phu hah ka nei han namaw, telah ati. Net laipalah ao. Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh e ni a sak awh e doeh.
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.
Zeruiah capa Joab e a hmaunawngha Abshai teh kathum touh thung dawk kacuepoung lah ao. A tahroe hoi tami 300 touh a thei dawkvah, kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
19 He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.
Kathum touh thung dawkvah, oup hane nahoehmaw. Hatdawkvah, kacue e lah ao. Hateiteh, a hmaloe e tarankahawi e ransanaw phat hoeh.
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.
Kebzeel tami tarankahawi capa Jehoiada capa Binaiah ni thaonae hno moikapap a sak. Moab tami a min kamthang sendek patet e tami kahni touh a thei. Kasik thapa dawk hai alouk lae lungngoum thung kaawm e sendek hah a thei.
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.
Tami kalenpounge Izip tami hah a thei. Izip tami ni tahroe a sin eiteh, Benaiah ni sonron dueng hah a sin teh, a cei. Izip tami e a kut dawk e tahroe a lawp teh hot e tahroe hoi ama hah a thei.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah niteh, hot patet lae hno hah a sak dawkvah, athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
23 He was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
Tami 30 touh hlak bari hane kawi lah ao. Hateiteh, ahmaloe e kathum touh phat hoeh. Devit ni ama karingkungnaw e kacue lah a hruek.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the Thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo from Bethlehem,
