2 Samuel 23
1 Ito nga ang mga huling salita ni David. Sinabi ni David na anak ni Isai, At sinabi ng lalake na pinapangibabaw, Na pinahiran ng langis ng Dios ni Jacob, At kalugodlugod na mangaawit sa Israel:
Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
2 Ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay nagsalita sa pamamagitan ko, At ang kaniyang salita ay suma aking dila.
The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
3 Sinabi ng Dios ng Israel, Ang malaking bato ng Israel ay nagsalita sa akin: Ang naghahari sa mga tao na may katuwiran, Na mamamahala sa katakutan sa Dios,
The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
4 Siya'y magiging gaya ng liwanag sa kinaumagahan pagka ang araw ay sumisikat, Sa isang umagang walang mga alapaap; Pagka ang malambot na damo ay sumisibol sa lupa, Sa maliwanag na sikat pagkatapos ng ulan.
It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
5 Katotohanang ang aking sangbahayan ay hindi gayon sa Dios; Gayon ma'y nakipagtipan siya sa akin ng isang tipang walang hanggan, Maayos sa lahat ng mga bagay, at maasahan: Sapagka't siyang aking buong kaligtasan, at buong nasa. Bagaman hindi niya pinatubo.
For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
6 Nguni't ang mga di banal ay ipaghahagis na gaya ng mga tinik, Sapagka't hindi nila matatangnan ng kamay:
But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
7 Kundi ang lalake na humipo sa kanila, Marapat magsakbat ng bakal at ng puluhan ng sibat; At sila'y lubos na susunugin ng apoy sa kanilang kinaroroonan.
But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
8 Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga makapangyarihang lalake na nasa kay David: Si Josebbasebet na Tachemonita, na pinuno ng mga kapitan; na siya ring si Adino na Eznita, na siyang dumaluhong laban sa walong daan na nangapatay ng paminsan.
These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
9 At pagkatapos niya'y si Eleazar, na anak ni Dodo, na anak ng isang Ahohita, na isa sa tatlong malalakas na lalake na kasama ni David, nang sila'y mangakipagaway sa mga Filisteo, na nangapipisan doon upang makipagbaka, at ang mga lalake ng Israel ay nagsialis:
After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
10 Siya'y bumangon, at sinaktan ang mga Filisteo hanggang sa ang kaniyang kamay ay nangalay, at ang kaniyang kamay ay nadikit sa tabak: at ang Panginoo'y gumawa ng dakilang pagtatagumpay sa araw na yaon: at ang bayan ay bumalik na kasunod niya, upang manamsam lamang.
He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
11 At pagkatapos niya'y si Samma na anak ni Age, na Araita. At ang mga Filisteo ay nagpipisan sa isang pulutong, na kinaroroonan ng isang putol na lupa sa puno ng lentehas; at tinakasan ng bayan ang mga Filisteo.
After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
12 Nguni't siya'y tumayo sa gitna ng putol na yaon, at ipinagsanggalang niya, at pinatay ang mga Filisteo: at ang Panginoo'y gumawa ng dakilang pagtatagumpay.
But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
13 At tatlo sa tatlong pung pinuno ay nagsilusong at nagsiparoon kay David sa pagaani sa yungib ng Adullam; at ang pulutong ng mga Filisteo ay nagsihantong sa libis ng Rephaim.
And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
14 At si David nga'y nasa katibayan, at ang pulutong nga ng mga Filisteo ay nasa Bethlehem.
And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
15 At nagnais si David, at nagsabi, Oh may magbigay sana sa akin ng tubig sa balon ng Bethlehem, na nasa tabi ng pintuang-bayan!
And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
16 At ang tatlong malalakas na lalake ay nagsisagasa sa hukbo ng mga Filisteo, at nagsiigib ng tubig sa balon ng Bethlehem, na nasa siping ng pintuang bayan, at kinuha, at dinala kay David: nguni't hindi niya ininom yaon, kundi kaniyang ibinuhos na handog sa Panginoon.
And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
17 At kaniyang sinabi, Malayo sa akin, Oh Panginoon, na aking gawin ito: iinumin ko ba ang dugo ng mga lalake na nagsiparoon na ipinain ang kanilang buhay? kaya't hindi niya ininom. Ang mga bagay na ito ay ginawa ng tatlong malalakas na lalake.
And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
18 At si Abisai, na kapatid ni Joab, na anak ni Sarvia, ay pinuno ng tatlo. At kaniyang itinaas ang kaniyang sibat laban sa tatlong daan at pinatay niya sila, at nagkapangalan sa tatlo.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
19 Hindi ba siya ang lalong marangal sa tatlo? kaya't siya'y ginawang punong kawal nila: gayon ma'y hindi siya umabot sa unang tatlo.
Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
20 At si Benaia, na anak ni Joiada, na anak ng matapang na lalake na taga Cabseel, na gumawa ng makapangyarihang gawa, na kaniyang pinatay ang dalawang anak ni Ariel na taga Moab; siya'y lumusong din at pumatay ng isang leon sa gitna ng isang hukay sa kapanahunan ng niebe.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
21 At siya'y pumatay ng isang taga Egipto na malakas na lalake: at ang taga Egipto ay may sibat sa kaniyang kamay; nguni't siya'y nilusong niyang may tungkod, at inagaw niya ang sibat sa kamay ng taga Egipto, at pinatay niya siya ng kaniyang sariling sibat.
And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
22 Ang mga bagay na ito ay ginawa ni Benaias, na anak ni Joiada, at nagkapangalan sa tatlong malalakas na lalake.
These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
23 Siya'y marangal kay sa tatlongpu, nguni't sa unang tatlo'y hindi siya umabot. At inilagay ni David siya sa kaniyang bantay.
He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
