2 Samuel 23

1 Now, these, are the last words of David, —The oracle of David, son of Jesse, Yea the oracle of The man raised up on high, The Anointed of the God of Jacob, the Delight of the Songs of Israel:

Ary izao no fara-teny nataon’ i Davida: hoy Davida, zanak’ i Jese, dia ny lehilahy izay voasandratra ho ambony, Ilay voahosotry ny Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba sady mpanao fihirana mahafinaritra amin’ ny Isiraely:

2 The Spirit of Yahweh, spake in me, —And, his word, was on my tongue;

Ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah no mampiteny ahy, ary ny teniny no eo amin’ ny lelako;

3 Said the God of Israel, Unto me, spake the Rock of Israel: —One Ruling over Men, A Righteous One, ruling in the reverence of God,

Andriamanitry ny Isiraely manao hoe, eny, ny Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely miteny amiko hoe: Indro ny Mpanapaka ny olona; Marina Izy sady manapaka amin’ ny fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra;

4 Is even as the light of the morning when ariseth the sun, —A morning, without clouds, [As] from brightness, [and] from rain, the fresh shoots out of the earth.

Ary izany dia toy ny fahazavan’ ny maraina, raha miposaka ny masoandro, dia ilay maraina tsy misy rahona iny; Ary ny ahitra manorobona amin’ ny tany noho ny hain’ andro manarakaraka ny ranonorana.

5 When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age-abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?

Ary tsy toy izany indrindra amin’ Andriamanitra va ny taranako? Fa fanekena mandrakizay no nataony tamiko, Voalamina amin’ ny zavatra rehetra sady voatandrina; Fa ny famonjena ahy rehetra sy ny iriko rehetra, moa tsy hampitsimohiny va?

6 But, as for the abandoned, like thorns to be tossed away are they all, —For, not with the hand, can they be taken;

Fa ny tena ratsy fanahy rehetra kosa dia tahaka ny tsilo ariana, Fa tsy azo raisin’ ny tanana izy;

7 But, the man that would touch them, Must fence himself with iron, and the shaft of a spear, —Then, with fire, shall they be, consumed, on the spot!

Ary ny olona izay mikasika azy Dia tsy maintsy mitondra vy sy zaran-defona; Ary hodorana amin’ ny afo avokoa amin’ izay itoerany ireny.

8 These, are the names of the mighty men, who belonged to David, —The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain at one time.

Ary izao no anaran’ ny lehilahy maherin’ i Davida: Joseba-basebeta Takemonita no lehiben’ ny mpanafika malaza; izy ilay Edino Eznita izay namely ny valon-jato lahy ka nahafaty azy tamin’ ny ady indray mandeha monja.

9 And, after him, Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, —in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had gone up;

Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Dodo, zanak’ i Ahohita, anankiray amin’ izy telo lahy mahery teo amin’ i Davida, raha nihaika ny Filistina izay niangona hiady ireo, ka niakatra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely;

10 he, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, —the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain.

dia nitsangana Eleazara ka namely ny Filistina mandra-pahavizan’ ny tànany ka efa niraikitra tamin’ ny sabatra; ary Jehovah nanao famonjena lehibe tamin’ izany andro izany, ka ny haka babo ihany no sisa nanarahan’ ny olona azy.

11 And, after him, Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite, —and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of the Philistines,

Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Sama, zanak’ i Age Hararita. Ary nony nivory ho iray toko teo amin’ ny tany nisy voanemba maniry ny Filistina, ary ny olona nandositra azy,

12 then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

dia nijanona teo afovoan’ io tany io kosa izy ka nahazo io ary namono ny Filistina; ka dia nanao famonjena lehibe Jehovah.

13 And three of the thirty chiefs descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, —although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim;

Ary nisy telo lahy samy malaza avy tamin’ ny telo-polo lahy nidina ka tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao amin’ ny zohin’ i Adolama nony fararano; ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina nitoby teo amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.

14 and, David, then was in a stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in Bethlehem.

Ary Davida dia tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana tamin’ izay, ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina kosa dia tao Betlehema.

15 And David longed, and said, —Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

Ary Davida naniry ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hampisotro rano ahy avy amin’ ny fantsakana ao Betlehema, ilay ao akaikin’ ny vavahady!

16 And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,

Ary ireo telo lahy mahery namaky teo amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina ka nanovo rano tamin’ ny fantsakana tao Betlehema, izay teo anilan’ ny vavahady, dia nentiny ho any amin’ i Davida; kanjo tsy nety nisotro izy, fa naidiny ho an’ i Jehovah iny.

17 and said—Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives [in their hands]? So he would not drink it. These things, did the three mighty men.

Fa hoy Davida: Sanatria, Jehovah ô, raha hanao izany aho; tsy ran’ ny lehilahy izay nandeha nanao vy very ny ainy va ity? Ka dia tsy nety nisotro izy. Izany zavatra izany no nataon’ ireo telo lahy mahery ireo.

18 And. Abishai brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, he, was chief of three, in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and, he, had a name among three.

Ary Abisay, rahalahin’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no lehibe amin’ izy telo lahy, ary izy namely ny telon-jato lahy tamin’ ny lefona ka nahafaty azy, ka dia izy no nalaza tamin’ izy telo lahy.

19 Was he not most honourable, of the three, and so became their captain? Nevertheless, unto the three, he attained not.

Tsy izy va no be voninahitra noho izy telo lahy? Fa izy no lehibeny; nefa tsy nahomby ny telo lahy teo izy.

20 Benaiah also, son of Jehoiadah, son of an active man, hero of many a deed, a man of Kabzeel, he, smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, on a day of snow;

Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, zanaky ny lehilahy mahay tany Kabezela, izay nahavita asa be, izy no namono ny roa lahy mahery tany Moaba; ary izy no nidina ka namono ny liona tao an-davaka fantsakana tamin’ ilay andro nisy oram-panala iny;

21 he, also smote an Egyptian, who was of valiant bearing, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear, but he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.

ary izy koa no namono ilay Egyptiana makadiry be; ary ilay Egyptiana nitondra lefona teny an-tànany, nefa namorotsahan’ i Benaia tamin’ ny tehiny ihany izy, dia nosarihany ny lefona teny an-tànan’ ilay Egyptiana, ka iny lefony iny ihany no namonoany azy.

22 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and, he, had a name among three mighty men.

Izany no nataon’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary tamin’ izy telo lahy mahery dia izy no nalaza.

23 He was the most honourable, of thirty, although, unto the three, he attained no, —so David added him to his council.

Izy no nalaza noho ny telo-polo lahy, nefa tsy nahomby azy telo lahy teo izy. Ary Davida nanendry azy ho isan’ ny mpanolo-tsaina azy.

24 Asahel, brother of Joab, was among the thirty, —Elhanan, son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;
