2 Samwiri 23

1 Bino bye bigambo ebya Dawudi, mutabani wa Yese, eby’enkomerero: ebigambo eby’omusajja eyagulumizibwa, Ali Waggulu ennyo, Katonda wa Yakobo gwe yafukako amafuta, omuyimbi wa Zabbuli za Isirayiri:

Forsothe these ben the laste wordis, whiche Dauid, the sone of Ysai, seide. The man seide, to whom it is ordeyned of Crist, of the God of Jacob, the noble salm makere of Israel;

2 “Omwoyo wa Mukama yayogerera mu nze, ekigambo kye kyali mu kamwa kange.

The spiryt of the Lord spak bi me, and his word bi my tunge.

3 Katonda wa Isirayiri yayogera, olwazi lwa Isirayiri yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Omuntu bw’afuga n’obutuukirivu, n’afugira mu kutya Katonda,

Dauid seide, God of Israel spak to me, the stronge of Israel, the `iust Lord of men, `is Lord in the drede of God.

4 ali ng’ekitangaala eky’oku makya, enjuba ng’evaayo ku ggulu nga tekuli bire, obudde nga butangaala oluvannyuma lw’enkuba okukya ereetera omuddo okuvaayo mu ttaka.’

As the liyt of the morewtid, whanne the sunne risith eerli, is briyt with out cloudis; and as an erbe cometh forth of the erthe bi reynes.

5 Ennyumba yange tetuukiridde mu maaso ga Katonda? Teyalagaana nange endagaano ey’enkalakkalira, n’agiteekateeka era n’aginyweza mu buli nsonga? Ekimulobera okumpa omukisa, n’okuddamu buli kye mmusaba, kiki?

And myn hows is not so greet anentis God, that he schulde make with me euerlastynge couenaunt, stidefast and maad strong in alle thingis; for al myn helthe hangith of him, and al the wille `that is, al my desir, goith in to hym, and no thing is therof, that makith not fruyt.

6 Naye abatatya Katonda baliba nga amaggwa agasuulibwa wa bbali, kizibu okugakwata n’engalo.

Forsothe alle trespassouris schulen be drawun out as thornes, that ben not takun with hondis.

7 Buli agakwatako kimugwanira okukozesa ekyuma oba olunyago lw’effumu, era gookerwa awo omuliro we bagakuŋŋaanyirizza.”

And if ony man wole touche tho, he schal be armed with irun, and with tre formed in to spere; and the thornes schulen be kyndlid, and schulen be brent `til to nouyt.

8 Gano ge mannya ag’abasajja ba Dawudi abalwanyi ab’amaanyi be yalina: Yosebu-Basusebesi Omutakemoni eyali omukulu wa bazira abasatu ab’oku ntikko; yatta abasajja lunaana mu lulumbagana lumu.

These ben the names of the stronge men of Dauid. Dauid sittith in the chaier, the wiseste prince among thre; he is as a moost tendir worm of tree, that killide eiyte hundrid with o fersnesse.

9 Eyamuddiriranga ye yali Eriyazaali mutabani wa Dodayi Omwakowa. Yali ne Dawudi bwe baasoomooza Abafirisuuti abaali bakuŋŋaanye okulwana. Abasajja ba Isirayiri baali bazze ennyuma,

Aftir hym was Eleazar, the sone of his fadirs brother Abohi; among thre stronge men, that weren with Dauid, whanne thei seiden schenschip to Filisteis, and weren gaderid thidir in to batel.

10 naye ye nayimirira ku bubwe n’atta Abafirisuuti, n’omukono gwe ne gukoowa, ne gusanyalalira ku kitala. Mukama n’abawa obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi olunaku olwo, abaserikale ne baddayo eri Eriyazaali okunyaga ebintu byabo abattibwa.

And whanne the men of Israel hadden stied, he stood, and smoot Filisties, til his hond failide, and was starke with the swerd. And the Lord made greet helthe in that dai; and the puple that fledde turnedc ayen to drawe awei the spuylis of slayn men.

11 Owookusatu ye yali Samma mutabani wa Agee Omukalali. Abafirisuuti bwe baakuŋŋaanira mu musiri ogw’ebijanjaalo, abasajja ba Isirayiri ne babadduka,

And aftir hym was Semma, the sone of Age, of Arari. And Filisteis weren gaderid in the stacioun; forsothe there was a feeld ful of lente; and whanne the puple fledde fro the face of Filisteis,

12 Samma yayimirira wakati mu musiri, n’agulwanirira, era n’atta Abafirisuuti. Mukama n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi.

he stood in the myddis of the feeld, and bihelde it; and he smoot Filisteis, and the Lord made greet helthe.

13 Mu kiseera eky’okukungula, basatu ku bakungu amakumi asatu ne bagenda eri Dawudi mu mpuku eya Adulamu, ekibinja ky’Abafirisuuti nga basiisidde mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.

Also and thre men yeden doun bifore, that weren princes among thretti, and camen to Dauid in the tyme of reep in to the denne of Odollam. Forsothe the castels of Filisteis weren set in the valei of giauntis.

14 Mu kiseera ekyo Dawudi yali mu kigo, n’olusiisira lw’Abafirisuuti nga luli mu Besirekemu.

And Dauid was in a strong hold; sotheli the stacioun of Filisteis was thanne in Bethleem.

15 Dawudi n’alumwa ennyonta, n’ayogera nti, “Waliwo omuntu ayinza okunsenera amazzi okuva mu luzzi oluliraanye wankaaki wa Besirekemu?”

Therfor Dauid desiride water of the lake, and seide, If ony man wolde yyue to me drynk of watir of the cisterne, which is in Bethleem, bisidis the yate.

16 Awo abasajja be abazira abasatu ne bawaguza mu nkambi ey’Abafirisuuti, ne basena amazzi okuva mu luzzi lwa Besirekemu olwali luliraanye wankaaki, ne bagatwalira Dawudi.

Therfor thre stronge men braken in to the castels of Filisteis, and drowen watir of the cisterne of Bethleem, that was bisidis the yate, and brouyten to Dauid; and he nolde drinke,

17 Naye mu kifo eky’okuganywa n’agayiwayo eri Mukama. N’ayogera nti, “Kikafuuwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda, nze okukola ekyo. Nnyinza ntya okunywa omusaayi ogw’abasajja abawaddeyo obulamu bwabwe?” Bw’atyo n’ataganywa. Ebyo bye bimu ku bintu abasajja abo abasatu abazira bye baakola.

but offride it to the Lord, and seide, The Lord be merciful to me, that Y do not this; whether Y schal drynke the blood of these men, that yeden forth, and the perel of soulis? Therfor he nolde drynke. Thre strongeste men diden thes thingis.

18 Waaliwo ne Abisaayi muganda wa Yowaabu, mutabani wa Zeruyiya, naye nga mukulu w’abasajja amakumi asatu. Yayimusiza effumu lye eri abasajja ebikumi bisatu n’abatta, ne yeekolera erinnya okwenkanankana abasatu.

Also Abisay, brother of Joab, the sone of Saruye, was prince of thre; he it is that reiside his schaft ayens thre hundrid men, whiche he killide; `he was nemid among thre,

19 N’aba wa kitiibwa nnyo mu bali amakumi asatu newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abali abasatu.

and was the noblere among thre, and he was the prince of hem; but he cam not to the thre firste men.

20 Ne Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada ow’e Kabuzeeri yali musajja mulwanyi nnyo eyakola ebyobuzira ebikulu. Yatta babiri ku basajja abazira aba Mowaabu, ate n’aserengeta ne mu bunnya n’atta empologoma mu kiseera eky’obutiti.

And Banaye, the sone of Joiada, strongeste man of grete werkis, of Capseel, he smoot twei liouns of Moab, `that is, twei knyytis hardi as liouns; and he yede doun, and smoot a lioun in the myddil cisterne in the daies of snow.

21 N’atta Omumisiri omunene ennyo. Newaakubadde ng’Omumisiri yalina effumu mu mukono gwe, Benaya ye ng’alina muggo; yamunyagako effumu lye, n’alimuttisa.

Also he killide a man of Egipt, a man worthi of spectacle, hauynge a spere in the hond; therfor whanne he hadde come doun with a yerde to that man, bi miyt he wrooth out the spere fro the hond of the man of Egipt, and killide hym with his owne spere.

22 Ebyo bye byobuzira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada bye yakola, era naye n’ayatiikirira ng’abasajja bali abasatu abazira.

Banaye, sone of Joiada, dide these thingis;

23 N’aweebwa ekitiibwa mu makumi asatu, newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abasatu. Dawudi n’amufuula omukulu w’abambowa.

and he was nemyed among thre stronge men, that weren among the thretti noblere men; netheles he cam not til to the thre. And Dauid made hym a counselour of priuyte to hym silf.
