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 are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man whom God raised up, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sọ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa mi, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ ní ahọ́n mi.
"The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me. His word was on 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 Jacob said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules 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.’
shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through 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.
Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn't make it 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 all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
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 who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their 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 are the names of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed 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.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
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 struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Jehovah worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take 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.
After him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; 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 plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Jehovah worked 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 men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
14 Dafidi sì wà nínú odi, ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu nígbà náà.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then 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.”
And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, 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.
The Three warriors broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
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.
He said, "Far be it from me, Jehovah, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
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 leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
19 Ọlọ́lá jùlọ ni òun jẹ́ nínú àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, ó sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò tó àwọn mẹ́ta ìṣáájú.
He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed 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.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and 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 did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
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 honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
