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,

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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:

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 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.

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 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.

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 ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 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.

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 chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among 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 Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: yet he attained not to the [first] three.

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

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 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 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.

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

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

23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And 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 of Beth-lehem,

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

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

Shama Mharodi, Elika Mharodi,

26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

Helesi Mpeloni, Ira mwana wa Ikeshi Mtekoi,

27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

Abi Ezeri Mwanathothi, Mebunai Mhushathi,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

Salmoni Mhahoi, Maharai Mnetofathi;

29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,

Helebu mwana wa Baana, Mnetofathi, Itai mwana wa Rabai kutoka Gibea ya Wabenjamini,
