< 2 Samueri 23 >

1 Aya ndiwo mashoko okupedzisira aDhavhidhi: “Chirevo chaDhavhidhi mwanakomana waJese, Chirevo chomurume akasimudzirwa noWokumusoro-soro, murume akazodzwa naMwari waJakobho, muimbi wenziyo waIsraeri:

And these [are] the last words of David: — 'The affirmation of David son of Jesse — And the affirmation of the man raised up — Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:

2 “Mweya waJehovha wakataura kubudikidza neni; shoko rake rakanga riri parurimi rwangu.

The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.

3 Mwari waIsraeri akataura, Dombo raIsraeri akati kwandiri: ‘Kana munhu achitonga vanhu mukururama, kana achitonga mukutya Mwari,

He said — the God of Israel — to me, He spake — the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.

4 akaita sechiedza chamangwanani pakubuda kwezuva mangwanani kusina makore, sokujeka kwezuva shure kwokunaya kwemvura kunomeresa uswa kubva pasi.’

And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun — no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!

5 “Ko, imba yangu haisi yakadaro kuna Mwari here? Nokuti akaita sungano isingaperi neni, yakarongwa uye yakasimbiswa pazvinhu zvose. Ko, haachazozadzisi ruponeso rwangu uye agondipa zvose zvandinoda here?

For — not so [is] my house with God; For — a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For — all my salvation, and all desire, For — He hath not caused [it] to spring up.

6 Asi vanhu vakaipa vacharasirwa parutivi seminzwa, isingaunganidzwi noruoko.

As to the worthless — As a thorn driven away [are] all of them, For — not by hand are they taken;

7 Ani naani anobata minzwa anoshandisa mudziyo wesimbi kana rwiriko rwepfumo; uye ichapiswa zvachose pairi ipapo.”

And the man who cometh against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt In the cessation.'

8 Aya ndiwo mazita emhare dzaDhavhidhi: Joshebhi-Bhashebheti, muTakemoni, akanga ari mukuru waVatatu; akasimudza pfumo rake achirwa navarume mazana masere, akavauraya panguva imwe chete.

These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David hath: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains — he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred — wounded at one time.

9 Aimutevera akanga ari Ereazari, mwanakomana waDhodhai muAhohi. Somumwe wavarume vatatu voumhare, akanga ana Dhavhidhi pavakashora vaFiristia vakanga vakaungana paPasi Dhamimi kuti vazorwa. Ipapo varume veIsraeri vakadzokera shure,

And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines — they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up —

10 asi iye akamira akabaya vaFiristia kusvikira ruoko rwake rwaneta uye rwanamatira pamunondo. Jehovha akaita kuti vakunde kwazvo zuva iroro; uye varwi vakadzokera kuna Ereazari, asi kundokutunura nhumbi dzavakafa chete.

he hath arisen, and smiteth among the Philistines till that his hand hath been weary, and his hand cleaveth unto the sword, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.

11 Aimutevera akanga ari Shama mwanakomana weAgi muHarari. VaFiristia vakati vaungana pamwe chete panzvimbo yakanga ine munda wakanga uzere nenyemba, varwi vavaIsraeri vakatiza pamberi pavo.

And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is there a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath fled from the presence of the Philistines,

12 Asi Shama akanyatsomira pakati pomunda. Akaudzivirira akauraya vaFiristia, uye Jehovha akauyisa kukunda kukuru.

and he stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation.

13 Panguva yokukohwa, vatatu pakati pavakuru makumi matatu vakaburuka kuna Dhavhidhi kubako reAdhurami, nguva iyoyo hondo yavaFiristia yakanga yakadzika misasa muMupata weRefaimi.

And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

14 Panguva iyoyo Dhavhidhi akanga ari munhare, uye hondo yavaFiristia yakanga iri paBheterehema.

and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

15 Dhavhidhi akapanga mvura akati, “Haiwa, dai mumwe andiwanirawo mvura yokunwa patsime riri pedyo reBheterehema!”

and David longeth and saith, 'Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?'

16 Saka mhare nhatu dzakapinda napakati pavaFiristia, vakachera mvura kubva mutsime raiva pedyo nesuo reBheterehema vakaitakura vakaenda nayo kuna Dhavhidhi. Asi akaramba kuinwa, akaidururira pasi kuna Jehovha.

And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

17 Akati, “Ngazvive kure neni, Jehovha, kuti ndiite izvi! Ko, iri harisi ropa ravarume vakaendako vachiisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi here?” Uye Dhavhidhi akaramba kuinwa. Izvi ndizvo zvakaitwa nemhare nhatu.

and saith, 'Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.

18 Abhishai mununʼuna waJoabhu mwanakomana waZeruya akanga ari mukuru waVatatu. Akasimudza pfumo rake kuti arwe navarume mazana matatu, akavauraya, nokudaro akava nomukurumbira saVatatu.

And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and he hath a name among three.

19 Ko, haana kupiwa kuremekedzwa kukuru kupfuura vaya Vatatu here? Iye akazova mutungamiri wavo, kunyange zvazvo akanga asina kuverengwa pakati pavo.

Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

20 Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha akanga ari munhu woumhare aibva kuKabhizeeri, akaita zvinhu zvikuru. Akauraya varume vaviri veMoabhu vakanga vari mhare. Akapindawo mugomba kuchitonhora kwazvo musi uyo, akauraya shumba imomo.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.

21 Uye akabaya muIjipita akanga ari hofori. Kunyange zvazvo muIjipita akanga ane pfumo muruoko rwake, Bhenaya akarwa naye netsvimbo. Akabvuta pfumo rakanga riri muruoko rwomuIjipita akamuuraya nepfumo rake.

And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

22 Ndiwo akanga ari mabasa aBhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha; naiyewo akanga ano mukurumbira sowavarume vaya vatatu voumhare.

These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.

23 Akaremekedzwa zvikuru kupinda ani zvake wavaye Makumi Matatu, asi akanga asina kuverengwa pakati pavaya vatatu. Uye Dhavhidhi akamugadza kuti ave mutariri wavarindi vake.

Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.

24 Pakati pavaya Makumi Matatu paiti: Asaheri mununʼuna waJoabhu, Erihanani mwanakomana waDhodho aibva kuBheterehema,

Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem.
