Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---New-Heart-YHWH ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 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:

Haya ni maneno ya mwisho ya Daudi-Daudi mwana wa Yese, mtu aliyeheshimiwa sana, aliyetiwa mafuta na Mungu wa Yakobo, mwandishi mzuri wa zaburi wa Israeli.

2 "The Spirit of YHWH spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.

“Roho ya Yahwe alisema nami, na neno lake lilikuwa ulimini mwangu.

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,

Mungu wa Israeli alinena, Mwamba wa Israeli aliniambia, “Atawalaye kwa haki juu yangu, atawalaye katika hofu ya Mungu.

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.'

Atakuwa kama nuru ya asubuhi jua linapochomoza, asubuhi isiyo na mawingu, wakati mche mwororo unapochipua kutoka ardhini kupitia mwangaza wa mng'ao wa jua baada ya mvua.

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.

Hakika, je familia yangu haiko hivi mbele za Mungu? Je hajafanya nami agano la milele, taratibu la uhakika kwa kila njia? Je yeye haongezi wokovu wangu na kutimiza kila hitaji langu?

6 But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,

Lakini yasiyofaa yote yatakuwa kama miiba na kutupwa mbali, kwa maana haiwezekani kukusanywa kwa mikono.

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."

Ayagusaye ni lazima atumie chombo cha chuma au au fumo la mkuki. Ni lazima yachomwe mahali yalipo.

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.

Haya ni majina ya askari wa Daudi: Yashobeamu Mhakmoni alikuwa kiongozi wa mashujaa. Aliua watu mia nne wakati mmoja.

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.

Baada yake alikuwa Elieza mwana wa Dodo, mwana wa mwahohi, mmoja wa mashujaa watatu wa Daudi. Alikuwepo walipowashinda Wafilisti waliokuwa wamekusanyika kwa vita, na wakati watu wa Israeli walipokuwa wamekimbia.

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.

Elieza akasimama na kuwapiga Wafilisti mpaka mkono wake ukachoka, mpaka mkono wake ukang'ang'ania mpini wa upanga wake. Siku hiyo Yahwe akatoa ushindi mkuu. Jeshi likarejea kwa ajili ya kuteka tu nyara za waliouawa na Elieza.

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.

Baada yake alikuwa Shama mwana wa Agee, Mharari. Wafilisti wakajikusanya pamoja palipokuwa na shamba la dengu, na jeshi likawakimbia.

12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and YHWH worked a great victory.

Lakini Shama akasimama katikati ya shamba na kulitetea. Aliwauwa Wafilisti, na Yahwe akaleta ushindi mkuu.

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.

Watatu kati ya askari thelathini walishuka kwa Daudi nyakati za mavuno, katika pango la Adulamu. Jeshi la Wafilisti lilikuwa limepiga kambi katika bonde la Mrefai.

14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

Wakati huo Daudi alikuwa katika ngome yake, pangoni, wakati Wafilisti walikuwa wanaimilk Bethlehemu.

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 alitamani maji na akasema, “Kama ingekuwa mtu mmoja angenipa maji ya kunywa kutoka kisima kilichopo Bethlehemu, kisima kilichopo langoni!”

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.

Hivyo mashujaa hawa watatu wakapita kati ya jeshi la Wafilisti na kuchota maji katika kisima cha Bethlehemu, kilichopo langoni. Wakachukua maji na kuyaleta kwa Daudi, lakini yeye akakataa kuyanywa. Badala yake akayamwaga mbele za Yahwe.

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.

Kisha akasema, “Iwe mbali nami, Yahwe, kwamba niyanywe haya. Je ninywe damu ya watu waliohatarisha maisha yao?” Hivyo akakataa kuyanywa. Haya ni mambo yaliyofanywa na mashujaa watatu.

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, nduguye Yoabu na mwana wa Seruya, alikuwa akida wa watatu. Alipigana kwa mkuki wake na watu mia tatu na akawauwa wote mara. Mara kwa mara alitajwa kati ya mashujaa watatu.

19 He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.

Hakuwa maarufu kuliko wale watatu? Alifanywa akida wao. Lakini, umaarufu wake haukulingana na umaarufu wa wale mashujaa watatu.

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.

Benaya kutoka Kabseeli mwana wa Yehoyada; alikuwa mtu hodari aliyefanya matendo makuu. Aliwauwa wana wawili wa Arieli wa Moabu. Pia alishuka shimoni na kuuwa simba wakati wa theruji.

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.

Na alimwua Mmisri aliyekuwa mtu mnene sana. Mmisri alikuwa na mkuki mkononi, lakini Benaya alipigana naye kwa fimbo tu. Aliuchukua mkuki mkononi mwa Mmisri na kisha kumwua nao.

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.

Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alifanya matendo haya, naye alitajwa kati ya mashujaa watatu.

23 He was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.

Alikuwa na heshima kuliko mashujaa thelathini kwa ujumla wao, lakini hakuwa na heshima kama wale mashujaa watatu. Hata hivyo Daudi alimweka kuwa mlinzi wake.

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the Thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo from Bethlehem,

Wafuatao ni wale watu thelathini: Asaheli nduguye Yoabu, Elhanani mwana wa Dodo kutoka Bethlehemu,
