2 Samuel 23
1 And these [are] the last words of David: — 'The affirmation of David son of Jesse — And the affirmation of the man raised up — Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:
Zao ty figadoñam-petse’ i Davide, Hoe t’i Davide ana’ Iesý; inao ty saontsi’ indaty naonjoñe añ’aboy, i norizan’Andrianañahare’ Iakobey, i mpibeko mami’ Israeley.
2 The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.
Nitsara añamako ty Arofo’ Iehovà, tan-delako i lañona’ey.
3 He said — the God of Israel — to me, He spake — the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.
Nitaroñe t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; nitsara amako t’i Maoza’ Israeley; Tsi-mete tsy mahity ty hifelek’ ondatio hifehe am-pañeveñañe aman’ Añahare,
4 And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun — no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!
le manahake ty hazavàñe maraindray te manjirik’andro, handro tsy aman-drahoñe, ahetse maindoñ’indoñe boak’ an-tane ty amy tariñandrokey naho i orañey.
5 For — not so [is] my house with God; For — a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For — all my salvation, and all desire, For — He hath not caused [it] to spring up.
Tsy izay hao ty anjombako aman’ Añahare, t’ie nanao fañina amako tsy ho modo? Hene milahatse naho mijadoñe ty fandrombahañe ahy naho ze fitamàko iaby? Tsy hampitiria’e tsampa’e hao?
6 As to the worthless — As a thorn driven away [are] all of them, For — not by hand are they taken;
Fe o lo-tserekeo, le hambañe ami’ty anoeñe o fatikeo, ie aveve añe, fa tsy lefe rambesem-pitàñe,
7 And the man who cometh against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt In the cessation.'
naho tsy minday vy reke-tara-defoñe t’indaty hipaok’ aze; vaho forototoeñe an-toe’e eo.
8 These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David hath: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains — he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred — wounded at one time.
Zao o tahinam-panalolahy nimpiamy Davideo: Iosefe-basebete nte-Takemone, mpifelek’ o mpifeheo natao Adino nte-Ezný, ie nanjamañe valon-jato te indraike.
9 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines — they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up —
Nanonjohy aze t’i Eleatsare ana’ i Dodo ana’ t’i nte-Akoke, ty raik’ amo fanalolahy telo’ i Davideo; ie niatreatre o nte-Pilisty nifanontoñe hialio naho fa nienga iaby o ana’ Israeleo.
10 he hath arisen, and smiteth among the Philistines till that his hand hath been weary, and his hand cleaveth unto the sword, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.
Niongake re nanjevoñe nte-Pilisty am-para’ te nimokotse ty sira’e, naho nipitek’ amy fibaray ty fità’e; vaho nañeneke fandreketañe jabajaba t’Iehovà amy andro zay; aa kanao nibalike nañorik’ aze ondatio, le t’ie hikopak’ avao.
11 And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is there a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath fled from the presence of the Philistines,
Nanonjohy aze t’i Samà ana’i Agè nte-Karare. Ie nifandrimboñe an-tane lifotse mahalay ey o nte-Pilistio, naho fa nitriban-day amo nte-Pilistio ondatio,
12 and he stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation.
t’ie nijohañe añivo’ i tetekey, nitañ’ aze vaho nandafa o nte-Pilistio; ie nihenefe’ Iehovà ty fandreketam-bey.
13 And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim,
Telo amo mpiaolo telo-poloo ty nizotso mb’eo vaho nivotrak’ amy Davide an-tsam-pitatahañe an-dakato’ i Adolame ao; ie nitobe ambavatane’ o nte-Refao o nte-Pilistio.
14 and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
Tam-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide naho e Betlekheme añe o nte-Pilistio henane zay.
15 and David longeth and saith, 'Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?'
Nisalala ami’ty hoe t’i Davide, Ehe t’ie ho nanjotsoan-drano boak’ am-bovo’ i Betlekheme marine i lalambeiy!
16 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,
Aa le niboroboñafe’ i fanalolahy rey ty valobohòn-te Pilisty naho nitari-drano amy vovom-Betlekheme, marine i lalambeiy; nendese’ iereo vaho nazotso’ iereo amy Davide, f’ie tsy nete nikama, te mone nadoa’e am’ Iehovà.
17 and saith, 'Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.
Fa hoe re, Ee te ho lavitse ahy, ry Iehovà, ty hanao zao. Hinomeko hao ty lio’ ondaty namoe ay amy liaio? aa le tsy nete nikama aze. Izay ty nisata’ i fanalolahy telo rey.
18 And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and he hath a name among three.
Miaolo i telo rey t’i Abisay rahalahi’ Ioabe, ana’ i Tseroia. Ie ty nañonjon-defoñe ami’ty telon-jato naho nanjamañe ie iaby, vaho nandrambe tahinañe amy telo rey.
19 Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.
Tsy ie hao ty nanan-kasy amy telo rey? aa le nanoeñe mpifehe’ iareo, fe tsy nitaka’e i telo valoha’e rey.
20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.
Teo ka t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà, ana’ty fanalolahy nte-Kab’tsele; ie ka ty nanao raha nanjofake: zinevo’e ty ana-dahi’ roe’ i Ariele nte-Moabe; nizotso mb’ an-kadaha ao ka re namono liona an-tsam-panala.
21 And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.
Vinono’e ka t’i nte-Mitsraime, ondaty manjofake. Nitan-defoñe am-pità’e i nte-Mitsraimey, f’ie nizotso mb’ ama’e ao ninday kobaiñe, napotsoa’e am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey i lefo’ey, vaho zinevo’e amy lefo’ey.
22 These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.
Sata’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà i hoe zay vaho nahazoa’e tahinañe amy fanalolahy telo rey.
23 Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.
Ie ty nanan-kasy amy telo-polo rey, fe tsy nahatakatse i telo valoha’e rey. Nampifehè’ i Davide aze o mpigari’eo.
24 Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem.
