2 Samue 23
1 Hagi Deviti'na huvagare naneke'a ama'ne, Nagra Jesi nemofo Devitina Ra Anumzamo'a knare hunanteno ra nagima nami'nemo'ne. Jekopu Anumzamo masave frenanteno huhampri nantenemone. Nagra rama'a knare'nare zagametamina krente'noge'za Israeli vahe'mo'za zagamema nehaza ne' Devitine.
These are David's last words. The divine message of David son of Jesse, the divine message of the man made great by God, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the wonderful psalm-writer of Israel:
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo nagripi huvazino keaga nehigeno, Ra Anumzamofo kemo nagitera me'ne.
“The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; my tongue gave his message.
3 Hagi Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a frakirante havegino, amanage huno nasami'ne, mago vahe'mo'ma fatgoma huno'ma vahe'ma kegava huzmantesiana, Anumzamofonku koro hunenteno, vahera kegava huzmantegahiankino,
Israel's God spoke; Israel's Rock told me, ‘He who rules the people justly, he who rules respecting God,
4 ana avu'avazamo'a nanterama zage hanatino marerino remsa hiankna nehuno, nanterama monare'ma hampoma omnegeno, ko'ma ruteno rusegeno zagemo'ma remsama higeno, agata tra'zamo'ma mopafinti tretre huno hageankna nehie.
is like the light of the morning sunrise on a cloudless dawn; like the shining of raindrops on the new grass growing from the earth.’
5 Tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a nagri nagamokizmia zamazeri hanavetigahie. Na'ankure nagrira mevava hania hanave huvempa ke Agra hunanteneankino, agra ana huvempa kea ruotagreno, makazana erinte fatgo nehuno, kegava hu'nenigeno makazamo'a knare hugahie.
Isn't this how my family is with God? For he has made an everlasting agreement with me, set out in detail and with every part guaranteed. He will make sure to save me and to give me all I want.
6 Hagi kefo zama nehaza vahe'mo'za ave'ave trazankna hu'nazage'za vahe'mo'za zanefi atrazankna hugahaze. Na'ankure ave'ave trazana mago vahe'mo'a azantetira azeriga osu'ne.
But evil people are like thorns to be thrown aside; they can't be held in the hand.
7 Hianagi ana ave'ave trazama avako'ma hanimo'a, aeniretiro azotareti rezanefino eri atru huteno, tevefina kre fanane hugahie.
The only way to deal with them is to use an iron tool or the handle of a spear. They are completely burned up right where they are.”
8 Hagi ama'i Devitina harafa sondia vahe'amokizmi zamagi'e, Joseb Basebeti'a Takemoni nagapinti nekino 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi kvazmi mani'ne. Hagi mago hapina agra 800'a ha' vahe'a kevenura zamahe fri'ne.
These are the names of the leading warriors who supported David: Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, leader of the Three. Using his spear, he once killed eight hundred men in a single battle.
9 Ana 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi zamefira anante kvama mani'neana, Eliesakino, agra Ahohi nagapinti ne' Dodo nemofo nekino, mago kna Filistia vahe'ene Israeli vahe'enena hara hu'za nehazageno, Israeli vahe'mo'za koro atre'za nefrageno, agra ana zupa Deviti'ene oti'neno hara hu'ne.
After him came Eleazar, son of Dodai, the Ahohite, one of the Three leading warriors. He was with David when they defied the Philistines gathered for battle at Pas-dammin. The Israelites retreated,
10 Hagi Filisti'a vahera hara hunezmantegeno azamo'a karakino bainati kazinte azeri antarako hu'ne. Hagi ana zupa Ra Anumzamo'a ra hanave amigeno hara Filistia vahera huzamagatere'ne. Hagi koroma fre'naza Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za ete e'za, zamahege'za fri'naza Filistia sondia vahe'mokizmi fenozana eme zogi'naze.
but Eleazar took his stand and went on killing Philistines until his hand stuck to his sword. The Lord saved them by granting them a great victory. The Israelite army did return, but only to strip the dead.
11 Hagi mago sondia kva nera Harariti ne' Age nemofo Samakino, mago zupa Filistia vahe'mo'za sondia vahezmi Lehie nehazafi zamazeri atru hu'naze. Hagi anama zamazeri atru hu'nafina tusi'a lentoli kohe hoza me'ne. Hagi anama hazage'za Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za Filistia vahe'mokizmi koro fre'naze.
After him came Shammah, son of Agee, the Hararite. When the Philistines gathered at Lehi, in a field full of lentils, the Israelite army ran away from them,
12 Hianagi Sama'a ana hozamofo amu'nompi oti'neno hara huno Filistia vahera zamahe'ne. Hagi ana zupa Ra Anumzamo zamaza higeno, tusi'a hara agetere'ne.
but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defending it and killing the Philistines. The Lord gave them a great victory.
13 Hagi ne'zama vasage knafina 30'a hanavenentake sondia vahepinti 3'a kva vahe'mo'za Devitima mani'nerega Adulamu havegama me'nerega vu'naze. Hagi Filistia sondia vahe'mo'za Refaimi agupofi seli nona ki'za mani'naze.
At harvest time, the Three, who were part of the Thirty leading warriors, went down to meet David when he was at the cave of Adullam. The Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Hagi Betlehemu kumara Filistia ha vahe'mo'za eriza mani'nazageno, Deviti'a frakino havegampi mani'ne.
At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
15 Hagi Deviti'a anampinka frakino mani'negeno tinkura tusiza huno avesigeno amanage huno hu'ne, Betlehemu kuma'mofo kahanteti mago'a vahemo tina afino eme namige'na nosina knare hisine!
David was feeling really thirsty, and he said, “If only someone could bring me a drink of water from the well beside the entrance gate to Bethlehem!”
16 Hige'za 3'a hanave sondia vahe'mo'za oku'a kafona ante'za nevu'za Filistia vahera ha'huzamante'za vu'za, Betlehemu ku'ma kegina tva'onteti tina ome afi'za e'naze. Ana tima afi'za eri'za Devitinte'ma ageno'a, agra ana tina oneno, erino Ra Anumzamofontega ofa huno mopafi tagitre'ne.
The Three leading warriors broke through the Philistine defenses, took some water from the well at Bethelehem's gate, and brought it back to David. But David refused to drink it, and poured it out as an offering to the Lord.
17 Ana nehuno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka ama timo'a, frizankura ontahiza tima ome afi'za e'naza vahe'mokizmi korankna hu'neankina onegahue. Anage nehuno Deviti'a ana tina onene. Hagi e'ina hu'za vahe'mo'zama osugazana, 3'a sondia vahe'mo'za hu'naze.
“Lord, never let me do this!” he said. “Isn't it like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives?” So he did not drink it. This is just some of the things the Three leading warriors did.
18 Hagi Zeruia'e nehaza a'mo'a Joapune Abisaine kasezanante'neankino, Joapu nefu Abisai ana 30'a sondia vahe'mokizmi kva'zimia mani'ne. Mago ha'pina agra 300'a ha' vahe keve'anura zamahe fri'ne. Hagi agri agi agenkemo'a ana 3'a vahe'mokizmi zamaginena magokna hu'ne.
Abishai, Joab's brother, was leader of the second Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men, and became famous among the Three.
19 Hagi ana 30'a vahepina agra ugota huzmanteno rankva mani'ne. Hianagi ana 3'a vahepina agrira ohampri'naze.
He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.
20 Hagi Jehoiada nemofo Benaia'a agra Kabziri kumateti kore osu rama'a zupa hanavetino ha' nehia nere. Hagi agra Moapu sondia vahepi vugota hu'na'a netre nezanaheno, hampo ko' atuno krari'nea knafi kerifi uramino raioni ahe'ne.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, a strong warrior from Kabzeel, did many amazing things. He killed two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went after a lion into a pit in the snow and killed it.
21 Hagi agra mago zupa Isipi ha' nera marerisa ne' ahe fri'ne. Hagi ana Isipi nera vimago knonu aheno keve'a hanareno, ana kevenu ahe fri'ne.
Another time he killed a huge Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand but Benaiah attacked him with just a club. He grabbed the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 Hagi ama'nazana Johoda nemofo Benaia hu'nea zamo agimo'a 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi zamagimo'ma hu'neaza huno magozahukna hu'ne.
These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.
23 Hagi 30'a sondia vahepintira agri agimo'a marerine. Hianagi agrira 3'a nagapina avre onte'naze. Hagi Deviti'a agra'a avufgare kegava hania ne' avrente'ne.
He was the most highly regarded of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. David put him in charge of his personal bodyguard.
