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,
Now these [be] the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 “Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sọ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa mi, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ ní ahọ́n mi.
The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word [was] in 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 said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling 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.’
And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender grass [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
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.
Although my house [be] not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things], and sure: for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he make [it] not to grow.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Beliali yóò dàbí ẹ̀gún ẹ̀wọ̀n tí a ṣá tì, nítorí pé a kò lè fi ọwọ́ kó wọn.
But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with 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.”
But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the [same] place.
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 [be] the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lift up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
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.
And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, [one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines [that] were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
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.
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
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 [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from 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.
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
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 three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Dafidi sì wà nínú odi, ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu nígbà náà.
And David [was] then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then [in] Beth-lehem.
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.”
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which [is] by 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.
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto 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.
And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty 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.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among three.
19 Ọlọ́lá jùlọ ni òun jẹ́ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, ó sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ìṣáájú.
Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] 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, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time 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.
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ṣe, ó sì ní orúkọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára mẹ́ta náà.
These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
23 Nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà, òun ní ọlá jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ti ìṣáájú. Dafidi sì fi í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
24 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n náà: Asaheli arákùnrin Joabu sì Jásí Elhanani ọmọ Dodo ti Bẹtilẹhẹmu;
