< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Ndị a bụ okwu ikpeazụ Devid kwuru: “Okwu pụrụ iche si nʼọnụ Devid, nwa Jesi, ihe si nʼọnụ nwoke ahụ Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu buliri elu. Nwoke ahụ onye Chineke nke Jekọb tere mmanụ, onye bụ ọka nʼịbụ abụ nʼala Izrel.

And these [are] the last words of David: “A declaration of David son of Jesse, And a declaration of the man raised up—Concerning the anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweetness of the songs of Israel:

2 “Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼọnụ m, okwu ya dịkwa m nʼire.

The Spirit of YHWH has spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.

3 Chineke Izrel kwuru okwu, Oke nkume Izrel sịrị m, ‘Mgbe mmadụ na-achị ndị ọzọ site nʼezi omume, mgbe ọ na-achị site nʼegwu Chineke.

He said—the God of Israel—to me, He spoke—the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.

4 Ọ dị ka ìhè nke ụtụtụ, mgbe anyanwụ na-achawapụta nʼụtụtụ nke igwe ojii na-adịghị. Dịka ìhè na-acha mgbe mmiri zochara nke na-eme ka ahịhịa ndụ na-epupụta nʼala.’

And he rises as the light of morning, A morning sun [with] no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!

5 “Ọ bụrụ na ihe banyere ụlọ m ezighị ezi nʼebe Chineke nọ. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị ekwe ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ya, Ọgbụgba ndụ e doro nʼusoro nke e mere ka o guzosie ike nʼụzọ niile. Nʼezie, ọ garaghị eme ka nzọpụta m zuo oke. Ma mezukwaara m ọchịchọ obi m niile.

For though my house [is] not so with God; So He made a perpetual covenant with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For all my salvation, and all desire, For He has not caused [it] to spring up.

6 Ma ndị ajọ mmadụ ka a ga-atụfu nʼakụkụ dịka ogwu, nke mmadụ anaghị eji aka ekpokọta.

As for the worthless—All of them [are] driven away as a thorn, For they are not taken away by hand;

7 Onye ọbụla metụrụ ogwu aka, bụ onye nwere ngwa ọrụ igwe maọbụ osisi ùbe. A na-esure ha ọkụ nʼebe ha tọgbọrọ.”

And the man who comes against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And they are utterly burned with fire In the cessation.”

8 Ndị a bụ aha ndị dike nʼagha Devid nwere: Josheb-Bashebet, onye Takemon, bụ onyeisi nke mmadụ atọ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom asatọ, bụ ndị o gburu nʼotu mgbe ibu agha.

These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David has: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains—he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred—wounded at one time.

9 Onye nke na-eso ya bụ Elieza, nwa Dodayi, onye Ahohi. Dịka otu nʼime ndị dike atọ ahụ, ya na Devid nọ mgbe ha na-akwa ndị Filistia emo, bụ ndị zukọrọ na Pas Damim ibu agha. Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel lara azụ,

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—

10 ma Elieza guzoro na-alaghị azụ. O gbugidere ndị Filistia ruo mgbe ike gwuru aka ya. Aka ya rapakwaara na mma agha. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara ha mmeri dị ukwuu nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ndị agha ahụ laghachikwutere Elieza, maọbụ naanị ka ha yipụsịa ndị ahụ e gburu egbu ihe ha yi nʼahụ.

he has arisen, and strikes among the Philistines until his hand has been weary, and his hand cleaves to the sword, and YHWH works a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.

11 Onye nke atọ bụ Shama, nwa Agee, onye Hara. Mgbe ndị Filistia chịkọtara onwe ha nʼotu ebe, nke e nwere otu ubi jupụtara na lentil, ma ndị agha Izrel niile sitere nʼebe ha nọ gbapụ.

And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is a portion of the field full of lentils there, and the people have fled from the presence of the Philistines,

12 Ma naanị Shama guzoro nʼetiti ubi lentil ahụ. Ọ napụtara ya, tigbuo ndị Filistia niile ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyere mmeri dị ukwuu.

and he stations himself in the midst of the portion, and delivers it, and strikes the Philistines, and YHWH works a great salvation.

13 Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, mmadụ atọ nʼime iri ndị dike atọ ahụ, jekwuru Devid nʼọgba nkume Adulam, mgbe otù ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

And three of the thirty heads go down and come to the harvest, to David, to the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the Valley of Rephaim,

14 Ma Devid nọ nʼebe ahụ ewusiri ike nʼoge ahụ, ma ọnọdụ ndị agha Filistia dị na Betlehem.

and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

15 Agụụ mmiri gụrụ Devid nke ukwuu. Ọ sị, “Ọ ga-amasị m ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere onye ga-ekunye m mmiri ọṅụṅụ, site nʼolulu mmiri dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem!”

and David longs and says, “Who gives me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?”

16 Ya mere, ndị dike nʼagha atọ ahụ wakpuru ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, seta mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem, bulatara ya Devid. Ma Devid jụrụ ịṅụ ya, kama ọ wufuru ya nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

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 [it] to David; and he was not willing to drink it, and pours it out to YHWH,

17 Ọ sịrị, “Ya bụrụ m ihe arụ, Onyenwe anyị, na m ga-eme nke a. Nke a ọ bụghị ọbara ndị ikom a, ndị ji ndụ ha chụọ aja nʼihi ikute mmiri a?” Devid ekweghị aṅụ ya. Nke a bụ ụdị ike dike atọ ahụ kpara.

and says, “Far be it from me, O YHWH, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?” And he was not willing to drink it; the three mighty ones did these [things].

18 Abishai, nwanne Joab, nwa Zeruaya, bụ onyeisi ndị ikom atọ ahụ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, tigbukwaa ha niile. Nʼihi nke a ọ ghọrọ onye a ma ama dịka mmadụ atọ ndị a.

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 has a name among three.

19 Ma anaghị asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ? Ọ ghọrọ onyeisi ha. Ọ bụ ezie a na-agụnyeghị ya dịka otu onye nʼime ha.

Is he not the honored of the three? And he becomes their head; and he has not come to the [first] three.

20 Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, onye si Kabzeel, bụ dike nʼagha nke kpara ike dị ukwuu. O tigburu dimkpa abụọ ndị Moab, ndị bụ ọkaka nʼagha. O rịdakwukwara ọdụm nʼime olulu na-amị amị nʼụbọchị mkpụrụ mmiri na-ezo, gbuo ya.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valor, great in deeds from Kabzeel), has struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he has gone down and struck the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.

21 O tigburu otu nwoke onye Ijipt, gbara dimkpa. Ọ bụ ezie na onye Ijipt ahụ ji ùbe nʼaka ya, ma Benaya ji naanị mkpọ jekwuru ya. Pụnara onye Ijipt ahụ ùbe dị nʼaka ya. Jiri ya magbuo ya

And he has struck the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and a spear [is] in the hand of the Egyptian, and he goes down to him with a rod, and takes the spear violently away out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slays him with his own spear.

22 Nke a bụ ụdị ike Benaya nwa Jehoiada kpara. Ya onwe ya nwekwara aha dịka ndị dike atọ mbụ.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada has done these [things], and has a name among the three mighty ones.

23 A na-asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nʼetiti iri dike atọ ndị ahụ, ma o rughị ogugo ndị dike atọ mbụ ahụ. Devid mere ya onyeisi ndị na-eche ya nche.

He is honored more than the thirty, but he did not come to the three; and David sets him over his guard.

24 Nʼetiti iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ bụ: Asahel, nwanne Joab, Elhanan nwa Dodo, onye Betlehem
