< Samuel 2 23 >
1 David ƒe nya mamlɛtɔwoe nye esiawo: “David, Yese ƒe vi le nu ƒom, David, ame si Yehowa, do ɖe dzi, David, Yakob ƒe Mawu ƒe amesiamina, David, Israel ƒe Psalmo viviwo kpala.
Forsothe these ben the laste wordis, whiche Dauid, the sone of Ysai, seide. The man seide, to whom it is ordeyned of Crist, of the God of Jacob, the noble salm makere of Israel;
2 “Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ƒo nu to dzinye eye eƒe nya le nye aɖe dzi.
The spiryt of the Lord spak bi me, and his word bi my tunge.
3 Israel ƒe Agakpe la gblɔ nam be, ‘Ame si ɖua dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye le mawuvɔvɔ̃ me la,
Dauid seide, God of Israel spak to me, the stronge of Israel, the `iust Lord of men, `is Lord in the drede of God.
4 anɔ abe ŋdikekeli ene, ɣe keklẽ si ŋgɔ lilikpo mexe o si naa gbe mumu dona tso anyigba me le ɣe keklẽ kple tsidzadza megbe ene.’
As the liyt of the morewtid, whanne the sunne risith eerli, is briyt with out cloudis; and as an erbe cometh forth of the erthe bi reynes.
5 “Ɖe nye aƒe mele dzɔdzɔe le Mawu ŋkume oa? Ɖe mebla nu mavɔ si le dedie la kplim oa? Ɛ̃, ebla nu si meʋãna o la kplim. Ɖe mana nye ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ nava eme eye wòana nu sia nu si nye dzi di la, nasu asinye oa?
And myn hows is not so greet anentis God, that he schulde make with me euerlastynge couenaunt, stidefast and maad strong in alle thingis; for al myn helthe hangith of him, and al the wille `that is, al my desir, goith in to hym, and no thing is therof, that makith not fruyt.
6 Ke woaɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo katã ɖe aga abe ŋutiwo wonye ene. Ŋuti si womefɔna kple asi o.
Forsothe alle trespassouris schulen be drawun out as thornes, that ben not takun with hondis.
7 Ame si di be yeafɔ ŋuti la tsɔa nu lénɛ, ƒoa ƒui, tɔa dzoe le afi si wòƒo ƒui ɖo.”
And if ony man wole touche tho, he schal be armed with irun, and with tre formed in to spere; and the thornes schulen be kyndlid, and schulen be brent `til to nouyt.
8 Kalẽtɔ xɔŋkɔ etɔ̃ siwo nɔ David ƒe aʋakɔ la me woe nye esiawo: Gbãtɔe nye Yoseb Basebet, tso Tahkemɔn, si wogayɔna be Adino, Eznitɔ la, ame si nye ame etɔ̃awo ƒe tatɔ. Ewu ame alafa enyi kpɔ le aʋakpekpe ɖeka me.
These ben the names of the stronge men of Dauid. Dauid sittith in the chaier, the wiseste prince among thre; he is as a moost tendir worm of tree, that killide eiyte hundrid with o fersnesse.
9 Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dometɔ eveliae nye Eleazar, Dodai ƒe vi, ame si nye Ahohitɔ. Enɔ ame etɔ̃ siwo kpe ɖe David ŋu wotɔ te Filistitɔwo le Pas Damim esime Israel ƒe aʋawɔla bubuawo katã si la dome.
Aftir hym was Eleazar, the sone of his fadirs brother Abohi; among thre stronge men, that weren with Dauid, whanne thei seiden schenschip to Filisteis, and weren gaderid thidir in to batel.
10 Ewu Filistitɔwo va se ɖe esime ɖeɖi te eƒe asi ŋu eye magate ŋu alé yi o; Yehowa na dziɖuɖu gã aɖee. Aʋawɔla mamlɛawo megatrɔ gbɔ o va se ɖe esime ɣeyiɣi ɖo hena afunyinuwo haha!
And whanne the men of Israel hadden stied, he stood, and smoot Filisties, til his hond failide, and was starke with the swerd. And the Lord made greet helthe in that dai; and the puple that fledde turnedc ayen to drawe awei the spuylis of slayn men.
11 Ame si kplɔe ɖo lae nye Sama, Agee ƒe vi, tso Harar. Gbe ɖeka le aʋakpekpe aɖe kple Filistitɔwo me le teƒe aɖe si bli le fũu eye Israel ƒe aʋawɔlawo katã si la,
And aftir hym was Semma, the sone of Age, of Arari. And Filisteis weren gaderid in the stacioun; forsothe there was a feeld ful of lente; and whanne the puple fledde fro the face of Filisteis,
12 Sama ɖeka tɔ ɖe bligble la titina eye wòxɔe hewu Filistitɔwo. Yehowa na wòɖu dzi gã aɖe.
he stood in the myddis of the feeld, and bihelde it; and he smoot Filisteis, and the Lord made greet helthe.
13 Gbe ɖeka, esime David nɔ agado me le Adulam eye Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo nɔ Refaim balime la, ame etɔ̃ tso Israelviwo ƒe aʋafia xɔŋkɔtɔ blaetɔ̃ me yi ɖakpɔe ɖa le nuŋeɣi.
Also and thre men yeden doun bifore, that weren princes among thretti, and camen to Dauid in the tyme of reep in to the denne of Odollam. Forsothe the castels of Filisteis weren set in the valei of giauntis.
14 David nɔ mɔ la me eye Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ɖo Betlehem le ɣe ma ɣi.
And Dauid was in a strong hold; sotheli the stacioun of Filisteis was thanne in Bethleem.
15 David gblɔ kple didi be, “Tsikɔ le wunyem vevie. Oo, ne ame aɖe aku tsi tso vudo si le Betlehem ƒe agbo nu la me vɛ nam la, anyo ŋutɔ.”
Therfor Dauid desiride water of the lake, and seide, If ony man wolde yyue to me drynk of watir of the cisterne, which is in Bethleem, bisidis the yate.
16 Ale aʋafia etɔ̃ siawo to Filistitɔwo dome, ku tsi tso vudo si te ɖe Betlehem ƒe agbo ŋu me yi na David. Ke David gbe meno tsi la o, ke boŋ etrɔe kɔ ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume,
Therfor thre stronge men braken in to the castels of Filisteis, and drowen watir of the cisterne of Bethleem, that was bisidis the yate, and brouyten to Dauid; and he nolde drinke,
17 hegblɔ be, “Yehowa, nyemate ŋu awɔ esia gbeɖe o!” “Esiae nye ame etɔ̃ siwo tsɔ woƒe agbe ke la ƒe ʋu.”
but offride it to the Lord, and seide, The Lord be merciful to me, that Y do not this; whether Y schal drynke the blood of these men, that yeden forth, and the perel of soulis? Therfor he nolde drynke. Thre strongeste men diden thes thingis.
18 Abisai, Yoab nɔvi, Zeruya vi nye amegã na ame etɔ̃awo. Etsɔ eƒe akplɔ wu futɔ alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ ale wòxɔ ŋkɔ abe ame etɔ̃awo ene.
Also Abisay, brother of Joab, the sone of Saruye, was prince of thre; he it is that reiside his schaft ayens thre hundrid men, whiche he killide; `he was nemid among thre,
19 Ɖe womede bubu eŋu wu ame xɔŋkɔ etɔ̃awo oa? Ezu woƒe kplɔla togbɔ be womebui ɖe wo dome o hã.
and was the noblere among thre, and he was the prince of hem; but he cam not to the thre firste men.
20 Benaya Yehoiada ƒe vi, ame si fofo nye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖe tso Kabzeel la wu ame dzɔtsu xɔŋkɔ eve siwo nɔ Moab nyigba dzi. Emegbe la, egawu dzata le do aɖe me gbe si gbe sno dza.
And Banaye, the sone of Joiada, strongeste man of grete werkis, of Capseel, he smoot twei liouns of Moab, `that is, twei knyytis hardi as liouns; and he yede doun, and smoot a lioun in the myddil cisterne in the daies of snow.
21 Le ɣeyiɣi bubu hã la, ewu Egiptetɔ aɖe. Togbɔ be Egiptetɔ la lé akplɔ ɖe asi hã la, Benaya lũ ɖe edzi kple kpo, dui le esi eye wòtsɔ Egiptetɔ la ŋutɔ ƒe akplɔ wui.
Also he killide a man of Egipt, a man worthi of spectacle, hauynge a spere in the hond; therfor whanne he hadde come doun with a yerde to that man, bi miyt he wrooth out the spere fro the hond of the man of Egipt, and killide hym with his owne spere.
22 Nu siawoe Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi wɔ. Eya hã xɔ ŋkɔ abe ame sesẽ etɔ̃awo ene.
Banaye, sone of Joiada, dide these thingis;
23 Wobunɛ wu ame xɔŋkɔ Blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gake womedee ame Etɔ̃awo dome o. Ke David tsɔe ɖo eŋudzɔlawo nu.
and he was nemyed among thre stronge men, that weren among the thretti noblere men; netheles he cam not til to the thre. And Dauid made hym a counselour of priuyte to hym silf.
