2 Samweli 23
1 Haya ni maneno ya mwisho ya Daudi: “Neno la Daudi mwana wa Yese, neno la mtu aliyeinuliwa na Aliye Juu Sana, mtu aliyepakwa mafuta na Mungu wa Yakobo, mwimbaji wa nyimbo wa Israeli:
And these [are] [the] words of David last [the] utterance of David [the] son of Jesse and [the] utterance of the man [who] he was raised up height [the] [one] anointed of [the] God of Jacob and [the] pleasant [one] of [the] songs of Israel.
2 “Roho wa Bwana alinena kupitia kwangu, neno lake lilikuwa ulimini mwangu.
[the] spirit of Yahweh he has spoken by me and speech his [is] on tongue my.
3 Mungu wa Israeli alinena, mwamba wa Israeli akaniambia: ‘Mtu anatawala watu kwa haki, wakati anapotawala akiwa na hofu ya Mungu,
He said [the] God of Israel to me he spoke [the] rock of Israel [one who] rules over humankind righteous [one who] rules [the] fear of God.
4 yeye ni kama mwanga wa asubuhi jua lichomozapo asubuhi isiyo na mawingu, kama mwanga baada ya mvua uchipuzao majani kutoka ardhini.’
And like [the] light of morning [when] it dawns [the] sun morning not clouds from brightness from rain vegetation from [the] earth.
5 “Je, si hivyo ilivyo nyumba yangu mbele za Mungu? Je, hajafanya Agano la milele nami, lililopangwa na kuimarishwa kila sehemu? Je, hatanifanya niufurahie wokovu wangu na kunijalia matakwa yangu yote?
For not thus [is] house? my with God for a covenant of perpetuity he has made to me arranged in everything and preserved for all salvation my and every desire for not will he make grow?
6 Lakini watu waovu wote watatupwa kando kama miiba, ambayo haikusanywi kwa mkono.
And a worthless person [is] like thorn[s] [which is] chased away all of them for not in a hand people will take.
7 Yeyote agusaye miiba hutumia chombo cha chuma au mpini wa mkuki, nayo huchomwa pale ilipo.”
And anyone [who] he will touch them he will arm himself iron and [the] wood of a spear and with fire certainly they will be burned at the dwelling.
8 Haya ndiyo majina ya mashujaa wa Daudi: Yosheb-Bashebethi, Mtahkemoni, alikuwa kiongozi wa wale Watatu; yeye aliinua mkuki wake dhidi ya watu 800, ambao aliwaua katika pambano moja.
These [are] [the] names of the warriors who [belonged] to David Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite - [the] chief of the three he Adino (the Eznite *Q(K)*) on eight hundred [one] slain at a time (one. *Q(K)*)
9 Wa pili wake alikuwa Eleazari mwana wa Dodai, Mwahohi. Akiwa mmojawapo wa wale mashujaa watatu, alikuwa pamoja na Daudi wakati waliwadhihaki Wafilisti waliokuwa wamekusanyika huko Pas-Damimu kwa ajili ya vita. Kisha watu wa Israeli wakarudi nyuma,
(And [was] after him *Q(k)*) Eleazar [the] son of (Dodo *Q(K)*) [the] son of Ahoah among three (the warriors *Q(K)*) with David when defied they the Philistines [who] they were gathered there for battle and they went up [the] man of Israel.
10 lakini yeye alisimama imara akawaua Wafilisti hadi mkono wake ukachoka na ukagandamana na upanga. Bwana akawapa ushindi mkubwa siku ile. Vikosi vikarudi kwa Eleazari, kuteka tu nyara za waliokufa.
He he arose and he struck down among the Philistines until - for it was weary hand his and it cleaved hand his to the sword and he did Yahweh a deliverance great on the day that and the people they returned after him only to strip.
11 Aliyefuata alikuwa Shama mwana wa Agee, Mharari. Wafilisti walipokusanyika pamoja mahali palipokuwa shamba lililojaa dengu, vikosi vya Israeli viliwakimbia.
And [was] after him Shamma [the] son of Agee [the] Hararite and they were gathered [the] Philistines to Lehi and it was there [the] portion of the field full of lentils and the people it fled from before [the] Philistines.
12 Lakini Shama akasimama imara katikati ya lile shamba. Akalitetea na kuwaua Wafilisti, naye Bwana akawapa ushindi mkubwa.
And he took his stand in [the] middle of the portion and he delivered it and he struck down [the] Philistines and he did Yahweh a deliverance great.
13 Wakati wa mavuno, viongozi watatu kati ya viongozi thelathini walishuka, wakamwendea Daudi katika pango la Adulamu, wakati kikundi cha Wafilisti kilikuwa kimepiga kambi katika Bonde la Warefai.
And they went down (three *Q(K)*) from the thirty leader[s] and they came to [the] harvest to David to [the] cave of Adullam and a community of Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.
14 Wakati huo Daudi alikuwa katika ngome, na kambi ya Wafilisti ilikuwa huko Bethlehemu.
And David then [was] in the stronghold and a garrison of Philistines then [was] Beth-lehem.
15 Daudi akatamani maji, akasema, “Laiti mtu angenipatia maji ya kunywa kutoka kisima kilicho karibu na lango la Bethlehemu!”
And he desired David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.
16 Basi mashujaa hao watatu wakapenya katikati ya Wafilisti, wakaenda kuchota maji kutoka kwa kisima kilicho karibu na lango la Bethlehemu, wakamletea Daudi. Lakini Daudi akakataa kuyanywa. Badala yake, aliyamimina mbele za Bwana.
And they broke through [the] three the warriors in [the] camp of [the] Philistines and they drew water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [was] at the gate and they carried [it] and they brought [it] to David and not he was willing to drink them and he poured out them to Yahweh.
17 Akasema, “Iwe mbali nami, Ee Bwana, kufanya kitu hiki. Je, hii si damu ya watu ambao walikwenda kwa kuhatarisha maisha yao?” Naye Daudi hakuyanywa. Haya yalifanywa na hao mashujaa watatu.
And he said far be it to me O Yahweh than to do I this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men who went with lives their and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the warriors.
18 Abishai ndugu yake Yoabu mwana wa Seruya ndiye alikuwa kiongozi wa hao Watatu. Aliinua mkuki wake dhidi ya watu 300 ambao aliwaua, kwa hiyo naye akawa na sifa kama hao Watatu.
And Abishai [the] brother of - Joab [the] son of Zeruiah he [was] [the] chief (of the three *Q(K)*) and he he wielded spear his on three hundred [one] slain and [belonged] to him a name among the three.
19 Je, hakupata heshima kubwa zaidi kuliko hao Watatu? Alikuwa jemadari wao, ingawa hakuhesabiwa miongoni mwao.
More than the three ¿ for [was he] honored and he became to them a commander and to the three not he came.
20 Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa mpiganaji hodari kutoka Kabseeli ambaye alifanya mambo makubwa ya ujasiri. Aliwaua mashujaa wawili waliokuwa hodari kuliko wote wa Moabu. Pia alishuka shimoni kulipokuwa na theluji na kumuua simba.
And Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada [was] a son of a man (of strength *Q(K)*) great of deeds from Kabzeel he he struck down [the] two [the] lion-like men of Moab and he he went down and he struck down (the lion *Q(K)*) in [the] midst of the pit on [the] day of the snow.
21 Pia alimuua Mmisri mrefu mkubwa. Ingawa Mmisri alikuwa na mkuki mkononi mwake, Benaya alimwendea akiwa na rungu. Alipokonya mkuki kutoka mkononi mwa Mmisri na kumuua kwa mkuki wake mwenyewe.
And he he struck down a man Egyptian (a man of *Q(K)*) appearance and [was] in [the] hand of the Egyptian a spear and he went down to him with the staff and he seized the spear from [the] hand of the Egyptian and he killed him with own spear his.
22 Haya yalikuwa mambo ya ushujaa ya Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada; naye pia alikuwa maarufu kama wale mashujaa watatu.
These [things] he did Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and [belonged] to him a name among three the warriors.
23 Yeye aliheshimiwa zaidi ya wale Thelathini, lakini hakujumuishwa miongoni mwa wale Watatu. Daudi akamweka kuwa kiongozi wa walinzi wake.
More than the thirty [he was] honored and to the three not he came and he appointed him David to bodyguard his.
