II Samuel 23
1 Ita, dagitoy dagiti maudi a balikas ni David— ni David nga anak ni Jesse, ti tao a napadayawan unay, ti tao a pinulotan iti Dios ni Jacob, ti nalaing a salmista ti Israel.
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “Nagsao ti Espiritu ni Yahweh babaen kaniak, ket adda dagiti balikasna iti dilak.
“The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Nagsao ti Dios ti Israel, kinuna ti dakkel a Bato ti Israel kaniak, 'Ti sililinteg a mangiturturay kadagiti tattao, a mangiturturay nga addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios.
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 Kaiyarigannanto ti lawag iti agsapa iti kanito a sumingsingising ti init, maysa nga agsapa nga awan ti ulep, a panagrusing dagiti naganus a ruot iti daga babaen iti naraniag a singising ti init kalpasan iti tudo.
shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
5 Kinapudnona, saan kadi a kastoy ti pamiliak iti imatang ti Dios? Saan kadi a nakitulag isuna kaniak iti agnanayon, nabilin ken saan a mabaliwan iti amin a wagas? Saan kadi a patalgedenna ti pannakaisalakanko ken ibanagna ti tunggal tarigagayko?
Is not my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Will not he make it grow?
6 Ngem dagiti awan serserbina ket maiyarigdanto amin kadagiti siit a maibelleng, gapu ta saan ida a maurnong dagiti ima iti siasinoman.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they cannot be taken with the hand.
7 Ti tao a mangsagid kadagitoy ket masapul nga agaramat iti landok wenno putan ti gayang: masapul a mapuoranda iti ayanda.'”
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 Dagitoy dagiti nagan dagiti mabigbigbig a soldado ni David: Ni Jesbaal a Hacmonita ket isu ti pangulo dagiti mabigbigbig a soldado. Nakapatay isuna iti walo gasut a lallaki iti naminsan a ranget.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 Sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Eleazar a putot ni Dodo a putot ti maysa nga Ahohita a maysa kadagiti tallo a nasisiglat a tattao ni David. Adda isuna idi kinaritda dagiti Filisteo a naguummong tapno makigubat, ken idi nagsanod dagiti lallaki ti Israel.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10 Nagtakder ni Eleazar ket kinarangetna dagiti Filisteo agingga a nabannog ken simmikkil dagiti imana ket saannan a maibbatan ti putan ti kampilanna. Nangiyeg ni Yahweh iti naindaklan a balligi iti dayta nga aldaw. Nagsubli dagiti armada kalpasan ni Eleazar tapno laeng rabsutenda dagiti kayatda kadagiti natay.
He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
11 Sumaruno kenkuana ni Samma a putot ni Age a taga-Hara. Naguummong dagiti Filisteo iti talon a namulaan iti bukbukel, ket intarayan ida ti armada.
After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Ngem nagtakder ni Samma iti tengga ti talon ket sinalaknibanna daytoy. Pinatayna dagiti Filisteo, ket nangyeg ni Yahweh iti naindaklan a balligi.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Tallo kadagiti tallupulo a soldado ti simmalog iti ayan ni David iti panawen ti panagaapit, iti rukib ti Adullam. Nagkampo ti armada dagiti Filisteo iti tanap ti Refaim.
Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Iti dayta a tiempo adda idi ni David iti paglemlemmenganna a maysa a rukib, kabayatan iti panagkampo dagiti Filisteo idiay Betlehem.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Mawaw idi ni David ket kinunana, “No adda la koma mangted kaniak iti danum nga inumek a naggapu iti bubon idiay Betlehem, ti bubon nga adda iti asideg ti ruangan!”
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Isu a sinarakusok dagitoy a tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki ti armada dagiti Filisteo ket napanda simmakdo iti danum idiay bubon ti Betlehem, ti bubon nga adda iti ruangan. Innalada ti danum ket impanda kenni David, ngem nagkedked isuna nga inumen daytoy. Ngem ketdi, imbuyatna daytoy a kas datonna kenni Yahweh.
The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
17 Ket kinunana, “Iyadayom kaniak, Yahweh, nga inumek daytoy. Rumbeng kadi nga inumek ti dara dagiti lallaki a nangipusta iti biagda?” Isu a nagkedked isuna nga inumen daytoy. Dagitoy dagiti banbanag nga inaramid dagiti tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki.
He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Is not this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 Ni Abisai a kabsat ni Joab a putot ni Zeruyas, ti kapitan dagiti tallo. Adda naminsan a nakiranget isuna babaen iti gayangna iti tallo gasut a lallaki ket pinatayna ida. Masansan a madakamat isuna a kadua dagiti tallo a soldado.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 Saan kadi a nalatlatak isuna ngem kadagiti tallo? Isuna ti nagbalin a kapitanda. Nupay kasta, ti kinalatakna ket saan a kas iti kinalatak dagiti tallo a kalalatakan a soldado.
Was not he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he was not included as one of the three.
20 Ni Benaias a taga-Kabzeel ket putot ni Jehoyada; maysa isuna a napigsa a lalaki a nakaaramid kadagiti aramid a mangipakita iti kinatured. Pinatayna dagiti dua a putot ni Ariel a taga-Moab. Bimmaba pay isuna iti maysa nga abut ket pinatayna ti maysa a leon kabayatan nga agtudtudo iti niebe.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 Ken napatayna ti maysa a nagdakkel a lalaki nga Egipcio. Nakaiggem iti gayang daytoy nga Egipcio, ngem kinaranget daytoy ni Benaias babaen laeng iti sarukod. Inagawna ti gayang manipud iti ima ti Egipcio ket pinatayna isuna babaen iti daytoy met laeng a gayang.
He killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 Inaramid ni Benaias aputot ni Jehoyada dagitoy a kinatured, ket nainaganan isuna a kadua dagiti tallo a nasisiglat a lallaki.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Mararaem isuna ngem dagiti tallopulo a soldado, ngem saan isuna a mararaem a kas kadagiti tallo a mabigbigbig a soldado. Nupay kasta, isuna ti dinutokan ni David a mangimaton kadagiti guardiana.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
