Luo Samuel 23

1 David, wen natul Jesse, el pa mwet se su God El oru in pwengpeng, su God lal Jacob el sulella tuh elan tokosra, oayapa el pa mwet orek on wolana lun mwet Israel. Pa inge kas safla lal David:

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 Ngun lun LEUM GOD kaskas nu sik tuh nga in fahk nu suwos; Kas lal oan in oalik.

The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue.

3 God lun Israel El kaskas tari; El su karinganang Israel El fahk nu sik, “Tokosra se su leum ke nununku suwohs, Su akos God ke el leumi mwet uh,

The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye strengthen the fear of the anointed?

4 El oana kalmen faht ke sie lotutang wangin pukunyeng, Faht se su oru mah uh saromrom tukun af uh.”

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 Pa inge ouiyen akinsewowo lun God nu sin fita luk, Mweyen El orala sie wulela nu sik su fah oan ma pahtpat, Sie oakwuk su ac fah tia kunausyukla, Sie wulela su ac fah tia ikilyukla. Pwayena ma nga lungse. Pa inge mwe kutangla luk, Ac God El ac fah oru tuh in sikyak ouinge.

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 A mwet tia etu ke God elos oana otonmu ma mwet uh sisla; Wangin mwet ku in kahlye fin tia nukla pao.

All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,

7 Kom enenu in orekmakin kufwen sroasr osra, ku osra in fakfuk; Mwet inge ac fah firiryak nufon.

and a man shall not labour 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 Pa inge inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David: mwet se meet uh pa Josheb Basshebeth mwet Tachemon, ac el mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwuk kin osra natul lain mwet oalfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.

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 Mwet se akluo ke mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh. Sie len ah, el ac David lain mwet Philistia su fahsreni in mweun. Mwet Israel elos foloki,

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 a el tu na lain mwet Philistia nwe ke na paol tulakyak ac el tia ku in fuhlela cutlass natul ah. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac. Tukun tari mweun ah, mwet Israel elos folokla nu yorol Eleazar ac elos sarukla mwe mweun liki monin mwet misa.

He arose an smote 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 Mwet se aktolu ke mwet pwengpeng tolu ah pa Shammah, wen natul Agee, mwet Harar. Mwet Philistia elos tuh fahsreni nu Lehi, acn se ma oasr ima in pea se we. Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Philistia,

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 a Shammah el tia kaing. El tu na in ima sac ac loangela, ac uniya mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac.

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

13 Ke apkuranyang pacl in kosrani ah, tolu sin u se pangpang “Mwet Tolngoul” eltal tufokla nu ke Luf Adullam, acn David el tuh muta we. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia su muta ke nien aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.

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 Ke pacl se ingan David el muta ke sie tohktok ma kuhlusyukyak, ac sie pac un mwet Philistia elos sruokya acn Bethlehem ac muta we.

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

15 David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem.”

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 Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utiya kof ke lufin kof sac, ac usla nu yorol David. Tusruktu el tiana nimya, a el okoala nu infohk uh tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.

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 El fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga koflana nim kof se inge, mweyen ac oana ngan nim srahn mwet su pilesrala moul lalos inge!” Ouinge el srangesr nim. Na pa ingan orekma pulaik lun mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah.

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 Abishai, tamulel lal Joab (nina kialtal pa Zeruiah) el pa mwet kol lun “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.

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 slew; and he had a name among three.

19 El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul,” ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.

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

20 Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie pac mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac pus ma pulaik el orala. Sie pacl ah el uniya mwet mweun na ku luo lun mwet Moab. Oayapa sie len ma yohk snow ah, el tufoki nu in luf se ac uniya lion soko.

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

21 El uniya pac sie mwet Egypt na lulap su sruokya osra soko, a Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.

He smote 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 slew him with his own spear.

22 Pa ingan orekma pulaik lal Benaiah su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.

These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.

23 Arulana eteyuk el inmasrlolos, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. David el sang tuh elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.

He was honourable 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.
