Samuu'Eel Labaad 23

1 Haddaba erayadanu waa kuwii ugu dambeeyey oo Daa'uud. Daa'uud ina Yesay wuxuu leeyahay, Ninkii kor loo qaadayna wuxuu leeyahay, Kaasoo ah kii Ilaaha Yacquub subkay, Ee ugu sabuur macaan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan:

These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

2 Rabbiga ruuxiisii baa iga dhex hadlay, Oo eraygiisiina carrabkayguu saarnaa.

The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.

3 Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil baa yidhi, Oo Dhagaxii weynaa ee reer binu Israa'iil ayaa ila hadlay, isagoo leh, Waxaa jiri doona mid dadka si xaq ah ugu taliya, Oo Ilaah cabsidiisa wax ku xukuma,

The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,

4 Kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa sida iftiinka subaxdii, marka qorraxdu soo baxdo, Iyo sida aroor aan cadar ahayn; Markuu doog jilicsanu dhulka ka soo baxo, Oo uu bayaan u dhalaalayo roobka dabadiis.

is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’

5 Sida runta ah reerkaygu xagga Ilaah saas kuma aha; Laakiinse axdi aan weligiis dhammaanayn ayuu ila dhigtay, Oo wax kastaba wuu hagaajiyey, wuuna adkeeyey; Oo in kastoo uusan soo bixin weliba waa badbaadadayda oo dhan iyo doonistayda oo dhanba.

Is not my house right with God? For He has established with me an everlasting covenant, ordered and secured in every part. Will He not bring about my full salvation and my every desire?

6 Laakiinse kuwa waxmatarayaasha ah dhammaantood waxay noqonayaan sidii qodxanta layska tuuro, Waayo, iyaga gacanta laguma qaadi karo;

But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.

7 Laakiinse ninkii iyaga taabta Waa in hub looga dhigaa bir iyo waran samaydiisa; Oo iyana dhammaantood meeshoodaa lagu gubi doonaa.

The man who touches them must be armed with iron or with the shaft of a spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”

8 Kuwanu waa magacyadii nimankii xoogga badnaa oo Daa'uud haystay: Yoshebbashebed oo ahaa reer Taxkemon, oo saraakiisha madax u ahaa, kaasoo ahaa Cadiinoo kii reer Cesen, oo warankiisa u qaaday siddeedda boqol oo isku mar qudha dilay.

These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

9 Oo kaas dabadiisna waxaa jiray Elecaasaar ina Dooday, oo ahaa reer Axoo'ax, oo kaasu wuxuu ahaa saddexdii nin oo Daa'uud la jirtay midkood, markay caayeen reer Falastiin oo halkaas isugu urursaday inay la diriraan, oo ay dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna mar hore sii tageen.

Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated,

10 Wuu kacay, oo laayay reer Falastiin ilaa ay gacantii daashay, oo gacantii seeftii ku dhegtay; oo Rabbiguna maalintaas aad buu u guuleeyey, markaasaa dadkiina u soo noqdeen inay wax dhacaan oo keliya.

but Eleazar stood his ground and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops returned to him, but only to plunder the dead.

11 Oo isaga dabadiisna waxaa jiray Shammaah oo ahaa ina Agee oo qoladiisuna ahayd reer Haraarii. Oo reer Falastiinna waxay isu soo wada urursadeen inay soo dhacaan meel misir ka buuxo, oo dadkiina waxay ka carareen reer Falastiin.

And after him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them.

12 Laakiinse isagu beertuu isdhex taagay oo daafacay, wuuna laayay reer Falastiin; oo Rabbiguna aad buu u guuleeyey.

But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.

13 Oo soddonkii madaxda ahaa saddex ka mid ah ayaa tegey, oo Daa'uud ugu yimid godkii Cadullaam xilligii beergooyska; oo colkii reer Falastiinna waxay soo degeen dooxadii Refaa'iim.

At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

14 Oo markaas Daa'uud wuxuu ku jiray dhufayska, oo ciidankii reer Falastiin xeradooduna waxay ahayd Beytlaxam.

At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

15 Oo Daa'uud intuu biyo u xiisooday ayuu yidhi, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in biyo layga siiyo ceelka Beytlaxam ee iridda ku ag yaal!

David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

16 Markaasaa saddexdii nin ee xoogga badnaa ayaa dhex maray ciidankii reer Falastiin, oo waxay biyo ka soo dhaamiyeen ceelkii Beytlaxam ee iridda ku ag yiil, oo intay soo qaadeen ayay Daa'uud u keeneen, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu ka cabbo biyahaas, Rabbiguuse u daadshay.

So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

17 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ha iga fogaato inaan saas yeelo; ma waxaan cabbaa dhiiggii raggii naftooda biimeeyey? Sidaas daraaddeed wuu diiday inuu cabbo. Oo saddexdii nin oo xoogga badnaana saasay yeeleen.

saying, “Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! Is this not the blood of the men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

18 Oo saddexdoodana waxaa madax u ahaa Abiishay oo ahaa Yoo'aab walaalkiis, oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay. Oo kaasu wuxuu waran u qaatay saddex boqol oo nin, wuuna wada laayay, saddexdiina magac buu ku lahaa.

Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

19 Isagu miyaanu saddexdooda ugu ciso badnayn? Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa looga dhigay sirkaal, habase yeeshee saddexdii hore ma uu gaadhin.

Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

20 Oo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo uu dhalay nin xoog weyn oo reer Qabse'eel ahu, kaasoo sameeyey falimo waaweyn, wuxuu dilay labadii wiil oo Arii'eel kii reer Moo'aab, oo haddana wuu tegey oo libaax buu god ku dhex dilay wakhtiga barafka,

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

21 oo wuxuu kaloo dilay nin Masri ah oo dheer, oo Masriguna wuxuu gacanta ku haystay waran, laakiinse isagu wuxuu ula tegey ul, oo warankii ka dhufsaday gacantii Masriga, oo isagii ku dilay warankiisii.

He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

22 Oo waxyaalahan waxaa sameeyey Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna saddexdii nin ee xoogga badnaa magac buu ku lahaa.

These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.

23 Oo weliba isagu wuu ka ciso badnaa soddonka, laakiinse ma uu gaadhin saddexdii hore. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu isaga madax uga dhigay lataliyayaashiisii.

He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
