< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Wọ̀nyí sì ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìkẹyìn Dafidi. “Dafidi ọmọ Jese, àní ọkùnrin tí a ti gbéga, ẹni àmì òróró Ọlọ́run Jakọbu, àti olórin dídùn Israẹli wí pé,
These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:
2 “Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sọ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa mi, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ ní ahọ́n mi.
“The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.
3 Ọlọ́run Israẹli ni, àpáta Israẹli sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ẹnìkan ti ń ṣe alákòóso ènìyàn lódodo, tí ń ṣàkóso ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, in the fear of God,
4 Yóò sì dàbí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀ nígbà tí oòrùn bá là, òwúrọ̀ tí kò ní ìkùùkuu, nígbà tí koríko tútù bá hù wá láti ilẹ̀ lẹ́yìn òjò.’
like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.
5 “Lóòtítọ́ ilé mi kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n ó ti bá mi dá májẹ̀mú àìnípẹ̀kun, tí a túnṣe nínú ohun gbogbo, tí a sì pamọ́; nítorí pé gbogbo èyí ni ìgbàlà, àti gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi, ilé mi kò lè ṣe kí ó má dàgbà.
But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Beliali yóò dàbí ẹ̀gún ẹ̀wọ̀n tí a ṣá tì, nítorí pé a kò lè fi ọwọ́ kó wọn.
But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí yóò tọ́ wọn yóò fi irin àti ọ̀pá ọ̀kọ̀ ṣagbára yí ara rẹ̀ ká; wọ́n ó jóná lúúlúú níbìkan náà.”
And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”
8 Wọ̀nyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn akọni ọkùnrin tí Dafidi ní: Joṣebu-Basṣebeti ará Takemoniti ni olórí àwọn balógun, òun sì ni akọni rẹ̀ tí ó pa ẹgbẹ̀rin ènìyàn lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.
These are the names of the valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.
9 Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Eleasari ọmọ Dodo ará Ahohi, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin mẹ́ta ti ó wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, nígbà tí wọ́n pe àwọn Filistini ní ìjà, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì ti lọ kúrò.
After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.
10 Òun sì dìde, ó sì kọlu àwọn Filistini títí ọwọ́ fi kún un, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì lẹ̀ mọ́ idà; Olúwa sì ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà ńlá lọ́jọ́ náà, àwọn ènìyàn sì padà bọ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ láti kó ìkógun.
And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.
11 Ẹni tí ó tẹ̀lé e ni Ṣamma ọmọ Agee ará Harari, àwọn Filistini sì kó ara wọn jọ láti piyẹ́, oko kan sì wà níbẹ̀ tí ó kún fun lẹntili, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli sì sá kúrò níwájú àwọn Filistini.
And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,
12 Ṣamma sì dúró láàrín méjì ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì gbà á sílẹ̀, ó sì pa àwọn Filistini Olúwa sì ṣe ìgbàlà ńlá.
he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.
13 Mẹ́ta nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n ìjòyè sọ̀kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tọ Dafidi wá ní àkókò ìkórè nínú ihò Adullamu, ọ̀wọ́ àwọn Filistini sì dó sí àfonífojì Refaimu.
And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.
14 Dafidi sì wà nínú odi, ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu nígbà náà.
And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.
15 Dafidi sì ń pòǹgbẹ, ó wí báyìí pé, “Ta ni yóò fún mi mu nínú omí kànga tí ń bẹ ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè.”
Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside the gate!”
16 Àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta sì la ogún àwọn Filistini lọ, wọ́n sì fa omi láti inú kànga Bẹtilẹhẹmu wá, èyí tí ó wà ní ìhà ẹnu-bodè, wọ́n sì mú tọ Dafidi wá, òun kò sì fẹ́ mu nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó tú u sílẹ̀ fún Olúwa.
Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,
17 Òun sì wí pé, “Kí a má rí, Olúwa, tí èmi ó fi ṣe èyí; ṣé èyí ni ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó lọ tí àwọn tí ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́?” Nítorí náà òun kò sì fẹ́ mú un. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta yìí ṣe.
saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.
18 Abiṣai, arákùnrin Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah, òun náà ni pàtàkì nínú àwọn mẹ́ta. Òun ni ó sì gbé ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sókè sí ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ènìyàn, ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta.
Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned among the three,
19 Ọlọ́lá jùlọ ni òun jẹ́ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, ó sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ìṣáájú.
and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.
20 Benaiah, ọmọ Jehoiada, ọmọ akọni ọkùnrin kan tí Kabṣeeli, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ní iṣẹ́ agbára, òun pa àwọn ọmọ Arieli méjì ti Moabu; ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ó sì pa kìnnìún kan nínú ihò lákoko òjò-dídì.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days of snow.
21 Ó sì pa ará Ejibiti kan, ọkùnrin tí ó dára láti wò, ará Ejibiti náà sì ní ọ̀kọ̀ kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Benaiah sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ní ọwọ́, ó sì gba ọ̀kọ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ pa á.
He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.
22 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ṣe, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta náà.
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.
23 Nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà, òun ní ọlá jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ti ìṣáájú. Dafidi sì fi í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.
24 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà: Asaheli arákùnrin Joabu sì Jásí Elhanani ọmọ Dodo ti Bẹtilẹhẹmu;
