2 Samũeli 23

1 Ici nĩcio ciugo cia kũrigĩrĩria cia Daudi:

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 “Roho wa Jehova nĩaririe na kanua gakwa;

The spiryt of the Lord spak bi me, and his word bi my tunge.

3 Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩaririe,

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 atuĩkaga ta ũtheri wa rũciinĩ riũa rĩkĩratha,

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 “Githĩ nyũmba yakwa ti nũngĩrĩru harĩ Mũrungu?

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 No andũ arĩa aaganu othe magaateo ta mĩigua,

Forsothe alle trespassouris schulen be drawun out as thornes, that ben not takun with hondis.

7 Ũrĩa wothe ũhutagia mĩigua

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 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ a Daudi arĩa maarĩ njamba: Joshebu-Bashebethu ũrĩa Mũtakemoni aarĩ mũnene wa arĩa atatũ; nake oire itimũ rĩake, akĩhũũra andũ magana manana, na akĩmooraga mbaara-inĩ ĩmwe.

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 Mũnini wake eetagwo Eleazaru mũrũ wa Dodai, ũrĩa Mũahohi. Arĩ ũmwe wa arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba, aarĩ hamwe na Daudi hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moogitire Afilisti arĩa monganĩte hamwe kũu Pasi-Damimu marũe mbaara. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli makĩũra,

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 nowe ndoorire, akĩrũgama hau, akĩhũũra Afilisti acio nginya guoko gwake gũkĩganda kũnyiitĩte rũhiũ rwa njora o ro ũguo. Jehova akĩrehe ũhootani mũnene mũthenya ũcio. Nacio mbũtũ cia ita igĩcooka kũrĩ Eleazaru, magatahe indo cia andũ arĩa akuũ.

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 Ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire aarĩ Shama mũrũ wa Agee ũrĩa Mũharari. Rĩrĩa Afilisti monganire hamwe handũ haarĩ mũgũnda waiyũrĩte ndengũ, ita rĩa Isiraeli rĩkĩmoorĩra.

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 No Shama ndoorire, akĩrũgama gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Akĩũgitĩra na akĩũraga Afilisti acio, nake Jehova akĩrehe ũhootani mũnene.

he stood in the myddis of the feeld, and bihelde it; and he smoot Filisteis, and the Lord made greet helthe.

13 Hĩndĩ ya magetha-rĩ, andũ atatũ thĩinĩ wa arĩa mĩrongo ĩtatũ anene magĩikũrũka kũrĩ Daudi kũu ngurunga-inĩ ya Adulamu, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbũtũ ya Afilisti yambĩte hema Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu.

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 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩa hinya, nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.

And Dauid was in a strong hold; sotheli the stacioun of Filisteis was thanne in Bethleem.

15 Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ maarĩ njamba magĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ita rĩa Afilisti, magĩtaha maaĩ gĩthima-inĩ kĩu kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu na makĩmatwarĩra Daudi. No Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua; akĩmaita mbere ya Jehova.

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 Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, ũhoro ũyũ ũrondaihĩrĩria, njage gwĩka ũguo! Githĩ ĩno ti thakame ya andũ arĩa megũthiĩte magetwarĩrĩria ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ?” Nake Daudi akĩrega kũnyua maaĩ macio. Maũndũ ta macio nĩmo meekagwo nĩ njamba icio ithatũ.

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 Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia aarĩ mũnene wa acio atatũ. Nake akĩoya itimũ rĩake agĩtharĩkĩra andũ magana matatũ, akĩmooraga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa igweta o ta acio Atatũ.

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 Githĩ ndaakĩgĩire na igweta inene gũkĩra acio Atatũ? Nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wao, o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.

and was the noblere among thre, and he was the prince of hem; but he cam not to the thre firste men.

20 Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada aarĩ mũrũi njamba wa kuuma Kabizeeli, ũrĩa wekire maũndũ manene ma ũcamba. Nĩooragire njamba nene igĩrĩ cia ita cia Moabi. Ningĩ nĩatoonyire irima mũthenya warĩ na tharunji, akĩũraga mũrũũthi.

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 Nĩooragire Mũmisiri mũndũ warĩ mũnene mũno. O na gũtuĩka Mũmisiri ũcio nĩanyiitĩte itimũ na guoko gwake, Benaia aathiire akĩmũtharĩkĩra na njũgũma. Nake akĩhuria itimũ rĩu rĩarĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Mũmisiri ũcio na akĩmũũraga na itimũ rĩu rĩake.

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 Macio nĩmo maũndũ ma ũcamba marĩa meekirwo nĩ Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada; o nake aarĩ igweta o ta andũ arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba.

Banaye, sone of Joiada, dide these thingis;

23 Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.

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.
