2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Magi e weche Daudi mogik: Weche mag Daudi wuod Jesse, weche ngʼat motingʼ malo gi Ngʼat Mamalo Mogik, ngʼat mowir gi Nyasach Jakobo, jawer wende mag Israel.
2 “The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo kotiyo koda, wechene ne ni e dhoga.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
Nyasach Israel nowuoyo; Lwanda mar Israel nowachona ni: Ka ngʼato otelo ni ji e yo makare, kendo ka olocho koluoro Nyasaye,
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.’
to ochalo gi ler mar okinyi ka chiengʼ wuok, okinyi maonge boche polo, machalo gi ler polo bangʼ chue koth mamiyo lum loth.
5 Isn’t my house 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. Won’t he make it grow?
Donge oda nikare e nyim Nyasaye? Donge Osesingore koda gi singruok mochwere, mochan kendo morit chuth? Donge obiro kelo olemb warruokna kendo miya gik ma chunya dwaro duto?
6 But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
To joma richo ibiro wit tenge ka kuthe ma ok nyal chok gi lwedo.
7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
Ngʼama choko kuthe konyore gi gima olos gi nyinyo kata gi ragwar, kendo wangʼogi kama ochokgie.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
Magi e nyinge thuondi mag Daudi: Josheb-Bashebeth ja-Takemon, ne thuon kuom thuondi adek; nokawo tongʼe monegogo ji mia aboro e lweny dichiel.
9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
Ngʼat maluwe ne en Eliazar wuod Dodai ma ja-Ahohi. Kaka achiel kuom thuondi adek, ne en gi Daudi kane gijaro jo-Filistia mano chokore Pas Damim ne lweny. Eka jolwenj Israel noringo,
10 He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
to en nochungʼ kar tiende mi nonego jo-Filistia nyaka bade nojony ma lwete omoko e ligangla. Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ chiengʼno, jolweny noduogo ir Eliazar to mana ni yako gige joma otho.
11 After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
Maluwe ne en Shama wuod Agee ma ja-Harar. Kane jo-Filistia ochokore kama ne nitie puoth ngʼor, jo-Israel noringogi.
12 But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
To Shama nochungʼ kar tiende e dier puodhono. Norite monego jo-Filistia, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ.
13 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 encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
E kinde mag keyo, adek kuom thuondi piero adek madongo nobiro ir Daudi e rogo man Adulam, ka jolweny mag jo-Filistia to nojot e Holo mar Refaim.
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
E kindeno Daudi nopondo e rogo kendo jo-Filistia to nochokore Bethlehem.
15 David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
Daudi riyo noloyo mowacho niya, “Yaye mad ne ngʼato kelnae pi soko man but ranga Bethlehem mondo amodhi!”
16 The three mighty men 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 the LORD.
Eka thuondi adekgo nomwomo kama jolwenj jo-Filistia nochanore mi gitwomo pi e soko mane nitie but ranga Bethlehem kendo giterone Daudi. To notamore modho pigno, to kar modhe to noologo piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
17 He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
Nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ok datim ma ngangʼ! Donge ma en remb joma nodhi ka ok odewo ngimagi?” Kendo Daudi ne ok omodho pigno. Mago e gik mane thuondi adekgo otimo.
18 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
Abishai owadgi Joab wuod Zeruya ne en thuon moloyo thuondi adekgo. Nokawo tongʼe monego ji mia adek, kendo nomiyo obedo gi huma mana kaka thuondi adek ka.
19 Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
Donge noyudo pak mathoth moloyo thuondi adekgo? Nobedo jatendgi kata obedo nine ok en achiel kuomgi.
20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
Benaya wuod Jehoyada ne jalweny mathuon moa Kabzel, notimo timbe madongo. Nonego ji ariyo mag Moab mane ger ka sibuor. Chiengʼ moro nodonjo e bur ka piny otimo pe mi onego sibuor.
21 He killed a huge Egyptian, 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 killed him with his own spear.
Bende en ema nonego ja-Misri marabet. Kata nobedo ni ja-Misrino ne nigi tongʼ e lwete, Benaya nodhi kedo kode kotingʼo arungu. Noyudho tongʼ e lwet ja-Misrino monege gi tonge owuon.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
Mago e timbe mag thuon mane Benaya wuod Jehoyada otimo, en bende ne en rahuma ka thuondi adek ka.
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
Nomiye luor maduongʼ moloyo thuondi piero adekgo, to kata kamano ne ok en achiel kuom thuondi adekgo madongo. Daudi nokete jatend jolweny mane rite.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty: Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
