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.

And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.

2 “Nagsao ti Espiritu ni Yahweh babaen kaniak, ket adda dagiti balikasna iti dilak.

The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon 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 says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will you strengthen the fear of the anointed?

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.

And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.

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?

For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.

6 Ngem dagiti awan serserbina ket maiyarigdanto amin kadagiti siit a maibelleng, gapu ta saan ida a maurnong dagiti ima iti siasinoman.

All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not 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.'”

and a man shall not labor among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.

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 of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.

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.

And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.

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 an struck the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].

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.

And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before 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.

And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

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.

And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.

14 Iti dayta a tiempo adda idi ni David iti paglemlemmenganna a maysa a rukib, kabayatan iti panagkampo dagiti Filisteo idiay Betlehem.

And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.

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!”

And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.

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.

And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before 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.

And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

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.

And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed; and he had a name among 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.

Of those three [he was] most honorable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] 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.

And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he struck the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

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 struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from 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.

These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he 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 honorable among the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
