2 Samoela 23
1 Zao ty figadoñam-petse’ i Davide, Hoe t’i Davide ana’ Iesý; inao ty saontsi’ indaty naonjoñe añ’aboy, i norizan’Andrianañahare’ Iakobey, i mpibeko mami’ Israeley.
Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the Elohim of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 Nitsara añamako ty Arofo’ Iehovà, tan-delako i lañona’ey.
The Spirit of YHWH spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 Nitaroñe t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; nitsara amako t’i Maoza’ Israeley; Tsi-mete tsy mahity ty hifelek’ ondatio hifehe am-pañeveñañe aman’ Añahare,
The Elohim of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of Elohim.
4 le manahake ty hazavàñe maraindray te manjirik’andro, handro tsy aman-drahoñe, ahetse maindoñ’indoñe boak’ an-tane ty amy tariñandrokey naho i orañey.
And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
5 Tsy izay hao ty anjombako aman’ Añahare, t’ie nanao fañina amako tsy ho modo? Hene milahatse naho mijadoñe ty fandrombahañe ahy naho ze fitamàko iaby? Tsy hampitiria’e tsampa’e hao?
Although my house be not so with El; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 Fe o lo-tserekeo, le hambañe ami’ty anoeñe o fatikeo, ie aveve añe, fa tsy lefe rambesem-pitàñe,
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 naho tsy minday vy reke-tara-defoñe t’indaty hipaok’ aze; vaho forototoeñe an-toe’e eo.
But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
8 Zao o tahinam-panalolahy nimpiamy Davideo: Iosefe-basebete nte-Takemone, mpifelek’ o mpifeheo natao Adino nte-Ezný, ie nanjamañe valon-jato te indraike.
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
9 Nanonjohy aze t’i Eleatsare ana’ i Dodo ana’ t’i nte-Akoke, ty raik’ amo fanalolahy telo’ i Davideo; ie niatreatre o nte-Pilisty nifanontoñe hialio naho fa nienga iaby o ana’ Israeleo.
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
10 Niongake re nanjevoñe nte-Pilisty am-para’ te nimokotse ty sira’e, naho nipitek’ amy fibaray ty fità’e; vaho nañeneke fandreketañe jabajaba t’Iehovà amy andro zay; aa kanao nibalike nañorik’ aze ondatio, le t’ie hikopak’ avao.
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and YHWH wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
11 Nanonjohy aze t’i Samà ana’i Agè nte-Karare. Ie nifandrimboñe an-tane lifotse mahalay ey o nte-Pilistio, naho fa nitriban-day amo nte-Pilistio ondatio,
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 t’ie nijohañe añivo’ i tetekey, nitañ’ aze vaho nandafa o nte-Pilistio; ie nihenefe’ Iehovà ty fandreketam-bey.
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and YHWH wrought a great victory.
13 Telo amo mpiaolo telo-poloo ty nizotso mb’eo vaho nivotrak’ amy Davide an-tsam-pitatahañe an-dakato’ i Adolame ao; ie nitobe ambavatane’ o nte-Refao o nte-Pilistio.
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Tam-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide naho e Betlekheme añe o nte-Pilistio henane zay.
And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Nisalala ami’ty hoe t’i Davide, Ehe t’ie ho nanjotsoan-drano boak’ am-bovo’ i Betlekheme marine i lalambeiy!
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
16 Aa le niboroboñafe’ i fanalolahy rey ty valobohòn-te Pilisty naho nitari-drano amy vovom-Betlekheme, marine i lalambeiy; nendese’ iereo vaho nazotso’ iereo amy Davide, f’ie tsy nete nikama, te mone nadoa’e am’ Iehovà.
And the three mighty men brake through the host 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: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto YHWH.
17 Fa hoe re, Ee te ho lavitse ahy, ry Iehovà, ty hanao zao. Hinomeko hao ty lio’ ondaty namoe ay amy liaio? aa le tsy nete nikama aze. Izay ty nisata’ i fanalolahy telo rey.
And he said, Be it far from me, O YHWH, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
18 Miaolo i telo rey t’i Abisay rahalahi’ Ioabe, ana’ i Tseroia. Ie ty nañonjon-defoñe ami’ty telon-jato naho nanjamañe ie iaby, vaho nandrambe tahinañe amy telo rey.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.
19 Tsy ie hao ty nanan-kasy amy telo rey? aa le nanoeñe mpifehe’ iareo, fe tsy nitaka’e i telo valoha’e rey.
Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
20 Teo ka t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà, ana’ty fanalolahy nte-Kab’tsele; ie ka ty nanao raha nanjofake: zinevo’e ty ana-dahi’ roe’ i Ariele nte-Moabe; nizotso mb’ an-kadaha ao ka re namono liona an-tsam-panala.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
21 Vinono’e ka t’i nte-Mitsraime, ondaty manjofake. Nitan-defoñe am-pità’e i nte-Mitsraimey, f’ie nizotso mb’ ama’e ao ninday kobaiñe, napotsoa’e am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey i lefo’ey, vaho zinevo’e amy lefo’ey.
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: 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 slew him with his own spear.
22 Sata’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà i hoe zay vaho nahazoa’e tahinañe amy fanalolahy telo rey.
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
23 Ie ty nanan-kasy amy telo-polo rey, fe tsy nahatakatse i telo valoha’e rey. Nampifehè’ i Davide aze o mpigari’eo.
He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
