< 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: — '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:

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

The Spirit of Jehovah hath 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 spake — 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 as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun — 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 — 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.

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

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

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 cometh against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt 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 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.

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 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.

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 there a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath 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 stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh 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 unto the harvest, unto David, unto 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 longeth and saith, 'Who doth give 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 in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

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 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.

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 hath 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.

Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

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 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.

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 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.

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

These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.

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.

Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.

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