Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Webster-Bible ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Now these [are] the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

Ndị a bụ okwu ikpeazụ Devid kwuru: “Okwu pụrụ iche si nʼọnụ Devid, nwa Jesi, ihe si nʼọnụ nwoke ahụ Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu buliri elu. Nwoke ahụ onye Chineke nke Jekọb tere mmanụ, onye bụ ọka nʼịbụ abụ nʼala Izrel.

2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word [was] on my tongue.

“Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼọnụ m, okwu ya dịkwa m nʼire.

3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling in the fear of God.

Chineke Izrel kwuru okwu, Oke nkume Izrel sịrị m, ‘Mgbe mmadụ na-achị ndị ọzọ site nʼezi omume, mgbe ọ na-achị site nʼegwu Chineke.

4 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender grass [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

Ọ dị ka ìhè nke ụtụtụ, mgbe anyanwụ na-achawapụta nʼụtụtụ nke igwe ojii na-adịghị. Dịka ìhè na-acha mgbe mmiri zochara nke na-eme ka ahịhịa ndụ na-epupụta nʼala.’

5 Although my house [is] not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things], and sure: for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he maketh [it] not to grow.

“Ọ bụrụ na ihe banyere ụlọ m ezighị ezi nʼebe Chineke nọ. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị ekwe ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ya, Ọgbụgba ndụ e doro nʼusoro nke e mere ka o guzosie ike nʼụzọ niile. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị eme ka nzọpụta m zuo oke. Ma mezukwaara m ọchịchọ obi m niile.

6 But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

Ma ndị ajọ mmadụ ka a ga-atụfu nʼakụkụ dịka ogwu, nke mmadụ anaghị eji aka ekpokọta.

7 But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the [same] place.

Onye ọbụla metụrụ ogwu aka, bụ onye nwere ngwa ọrụ igwe maọbụ osisi ùbe. A na-esure ha ọkụ nʼebe ha tọgbọrọ.”

8 These [are] the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lifted up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

Ndị a bụ aha ndị dike nʼagha Devid nwere: Josheb-Bashebet, onye Takemon, bụ onyeisi nke mmadụ atọ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom asatọ, bụ ndị o gburu nʼotu mgbe ibu agha.

9 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, [one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines [that] were there assembled to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away:

Onye nke na-eso ya bụ Elieza, nwa Dodayi, onye Ahohi. Dịka otu nʼime ndị dike atọ ahụ, ya na Devid nọ mgbe ha na-akwa ndị Filistia emo, bụ ndị zukọrọ na Pas Damim ibu agha. Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel lara azụ,

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand adhered to the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.

ma Elieza guzoro na-alaghị azụ. O gbugidere ndị Filistia ruo mgbe ike gwuru aka ya. Aka ya rapakwaara na mma agha. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara ha mmeri dị ukwuu nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ndị agha ahụ laghachikwutere Elieza, maọbụ naanị ka ha yipụsịa ndị ahụ e gburu egbu ihe ha yi nʼahụ.

11 And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were collected into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.

Onye nke atọ bụ Shama, nwa Agee, onye Hara. Mgbe ndị Filistia chịkọtara onwe ha nʼotu ebe, nke e nwere otu ubi jupụtara na lentil, ma ndị agha Izrel niile sitere nʼebe ha nọ gbapụ.

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

Ma naanị Shama guzoro nʼetiti ubi lentil ahụ. Ọ napụtara ya, tigbuo ndị Filistia niile ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyere mmeri dị ukwuu.

13 And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, mmadụ atọ nʼime iri ndị dike atọ ahụ, jekwuru Devid nʼọgba nkume Adulam, mgbe otù ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

14 And David [was] then in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then [in] Beth-lehem.

Ma Devid nọ nʼebe ahụ ewusiri ike nʼoge ahụ, ma ọnọdụ ndị agha Filistia dị na Betlehem.

15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which [is] by the gate!

Agụụ mmiri gụrụ Devid nke ukwuu. Ọ sị, “Ọ ga-amasị m ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere onye ga-ekunye m mmiri ọṅụṅụ, site nʼolulu mmiri dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem!”

16 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: nevertheless he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.

Ya mere, ndị dike nʼagha atọ ahụ wakpuru ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, seta mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem, bulatara ya Devid. Ma Devid jụrụ ịṅụ ya, kama ọ wufuru ya nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

17 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

Ọ sịrị, “Ya bụrụ m ihe arụ, Onyenwe anyị, na m ga-eme nke a. Nke a ọ bụghị ọbara ndị ikom a, ndị ji ndụ ha chụọ aja nʼihi ikute mmiri a?” Devid ekweghị aṅụ ya. Nke a bụ ụdị ike dike atọ ahụ kpara.

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among three.

Abishai, nwanne Joab, nwa Zeruaya, bụ onyeisi ndị ikom atọ ahụ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, tigbukwaa ha niile. Nʼihi nke a ọ ghọrọ onye a ma ama dịka mmadụ atọ ndị a.

19 Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: yet he attained not to the [first] three.

Ma anaghị asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ? Ọ ghọrọ onyeisi ha. Ọ bụ ezie a na-agụnyeghị ya dịka otu onye nʼime ha.

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lion-like men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, onye si Kabzeel, bụ dike nʼagha nke kpara ike dị ukwuu. O tigburu dimkpa abụọ ndị Moab, ndị bụ ọkaka nʼagha. O rịdakwukwara ọdụm nʼime olulu na-amị amị nʼụbọchị mkpụrụ mmiri na-ezo, gbuo ya.

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

O tigburu otu nwoke onye Ijipt, gbara dimkpa. Ọ bụ ezie na onye Ijipt ahụ ji ùbe nʼaka ya, ma Benaya ji naanị mkpọ jekwuru ya. Pụnara onye Ijipt ahụ ùbe dị nʼaka ya. Jiri ya magbuo ya

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

Nke a bụ ụdị ike Benaya nwa Jehoiada kpara. Ya onwe ya nwekwara aha dịka ndị dike atọ mbụ.

23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.

A na-asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nʼetiti iri dike atọ ndị ahụ, ma o rughị ogugo ndị dike atọ mbụ ahụ. Devid mere ya onyeisi ndị na-eche ya nche.

24 Asahel the brother of Joab [was] one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,
