2 Samuel 23
1 David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
Haddaba erayadanu waa kuwii ugu dambeeyey oo Daa'uud. Daa'uud ina Yesay wuxuu leeyahay, Ninkii kor loo qaadayna wuxuu leeyahay, Kaasoo ah kii Ilaaha Yacquub subkay, Ee ugu sabuur macaan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan:
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
Rabbiga ruuxiisii baa iga dhex hadlay, Oo eraygiisiina carrabkayguu saarnaa.
3 God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil baa yidhi, Oo Dhagaxii weynaa ee reer binu Israa'iil ayaa ila hadlay, isagoo leh, Waxaa jiri doona mid dadka si xaq ah ugu taliya, Oo Ilaah cabsidiisa wax ku xukuma,
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
Kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa sida iftiinka subaxdii, marka qorraxdu soo baxdo, Iyo sida aroor aan cadar ahayn; Markuu doog jilicsanu dhulka ka soo baxo, Oo uu bayaan u dhalaalayo roobka dabadiis.
5 And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
Sida runta ah reerkaygu xagga Ilaah saas kuma aha; Laakiinse axdi aan weligiis dhammaanayn ayuu ila dhigtay, Oo wax kastaba wuu hagaajiyey, wuuna adkeeyey; Oo in kastoo uusan soo bixin weliba waa badbaadadayda oo dhan iyo doonistayda oo dhanba.
6 But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
Laakiinse kuwa waxmatarayaasha ah dhammaantood waxay noqonayaan sidii qodxanta layska tuuro, Waayo, iyaga gacanta laguma qaadi karo;
7 Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
Laakiinse ninkii iyaga taabta Waa in hub looga dhigaa bir iyo waran samaydiisa; Oo iyana dhammaantood meeshoodaa lagu gubi doonaa.
8 These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Kuwanu waa magacyadii nimankii xoogga badnaa oo Daa'uud haystay: Yoshebbashebed oo ahaa reer Taxkemon, oo saraakiisha madax u ahaa, kaasoo ahaa Cadiinoo kii reer Cesen, oo warankiisa u qaaday siddeedda boqol oo isku mar qudha dilay.
9 The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
Oo kaas dabadiisna waxaa jiray Elecaasaar ina Dooday, oo ahaa reer Axoo'ax, oo kaasu wuxuu ahaa saddexdii nin oo Daa'uud la jirtay midkood, markay caayeen reer Falastiin oo halkaas isugu urursaday inay la diriraan, oo ay dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna mar hore sii tageen.
10 but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
Wuu kacay, oo laayay reer Falastiin ilaa ay gacantii daashay, oo gacantii seeftii ku dhegtay; oo Rabbiguna maalintaas aad buu u guuleeyey, markaasaa dadkiina u soo noqdeen inay wax dhacaan oo keliya.
11 The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
Oo isaga dabadiisna waxaa jiray Shammaah oo ahaa ina Agee oo qoladiisuna ahayd reer Haraarii. Oo reer Falastiinna waxay isu soo wada urursadeen inay soo dhacaan meel misir ka buuxo, oo dadkiina waxay ka carareen reer Falastiin.
12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
Laakiinse isagu beertuu isdhex taagay oo daafacay, wuuna laayay reer Falastiin; oo Rabbiguna aad buu u guuleeyey.
13 Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
Oo soddonkii madaxda ahaa saddex ka mid ah ayaa tegey, oo Daa'uud ugu yimid godkii Cadullaam xilligii beergooyska; oo colkii reer Falastiinna waxay soo degeen dooxadii Refaa'iim.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
Oo markaas Daa'uud wuxuu ku jiray dhufayska, oo ciidankii reer Falastiin xeradooduna waxay ahayd Beytlaxam.
15 [One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
Oo Daa'uud intuu biyo u xiisooday ayuu yidhi, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in biyo layga siiyo ceelka Beytlaxam ee iridda ku ag yaal!
16 So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
Markaasaa saddexdii nin ee xoogga badnaa ayaa dhex maray ciidankii reer Falastiin, oo waxay biyo ka soo dhaamiyeen ceelkii Beytlaxam ee iridda ku ag yiil, oo intay soo qaadeen ayay Daa'uud u keeneen, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu ka cabbo biyahaas, Rabbiguuse u daadshay.
17 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ha iga fogaato inaan saas yeelo; ma waxaan cabbaa dhiiggii raggii naftooda biimeeyey? Sidaas daraaddeed wuu diiday inuu cabbo. Oo saddexdii nin oo xoogga badnaana saasay yeeleen.
18 Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
Oo saddexdoodana waxaa madax u ahaa Abiishay oo ahaa Yoo'aab walaalkiis, oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay. Oo kaasu wuxuu waran u qaatay saddex boqol oo nin, wuuna wada laayay, saddexdiina magac buu ku lahaa.
19 He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
Isagu miyaanu saddexdooda ugu ciso badnayn? Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa looga dhigay sirkaal, habase yeeshee saddexdii hore ma uu gaadhin.
20 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
Oo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo uu dhalay nin xoog weyn oo reer Qabse'eel ahu, kaasoo sameeyey falimo waaweyn, wuxuu dilay labadii wiil oo Arii'eel kii reer Moo'aab, oo haddana wuu tegey oo libaax buu god ku dhex dilay wakhtiga barafka,
21 He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
oo wuxuu kaloo dilay nin Masri ah oo dheer, oo Masriguna wuxuu gacanta ku haystay waran, laakiinse isagu wuxuu ula tegey ul, oo warankii ka dhufsaday gacantii Masriga, oo isagii ku dilay warankiisii.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
Oo waxyaalahan waxaa sameeyey Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna saddexdii nin ee xoogga badnaa magac buu ku lahaa.
23 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
Oo weliba isagu wuu ka ciso badnaa soddonka, laakiinse ma uu gaadhin saddexdii hore. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu isaga madax uga dhigay lataliyayaashiisii.
