< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 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:
David, wen natul Jesse, el pa mwet se su God El oru in pwengpeng, su God lal Jacob el sulella tuh elan tokosra, oayapa el pa mwet orek on wolana lun mwet Israel. Pa inge kas safla lal David:
2 The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
Ngun lun LEUM GOD kaskas nu sik tuh nga in fahk nu suwos; Kas lal oan in oalik.
3 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,
God lun Israel El kaskas tari; El su karinganang Israel El fahk nu sik, “Tokosra se su leum ke nununku suwohs, Su akos God ke el leumi mwet uh,
4 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.
El oana kalmen faht ke sie lotutang wangin pukunyeng, Faht se su oru mah uh saromrom tukun af uh.”
5 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?
Pa inge ouiyen akinsewowo lun God nu sin fita luk, Mweyen El orala sie wulela nu sik su fah oan ma pahtpat, Sie oakwuk su ac fah tia kunausyukla, Sie wulela su ac fah tia ikilyukla. Pwayena ma nga lungse. Pa inge mwe kutangla luk, Ac God El ac fah oru tuh in sikyak ouinge.
6 But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
A mwet tia etu ke God elos oana otonmu ma mwet uh sisla; Wangin mwet ku in kahlye fin tia nukla pao.
7 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.
Kom enenu in orekmakin kufwen sroasr osra, ku osra in fakfuk; Mwet inge ac fah firiryak nufon.
8 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.
Pa inge inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David: mwet se meet uh pa Josheb Basshebeth mwet Tachemon, ac el mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwuk kin osra natul lain mwet oalfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.
9 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,
Mwet se akluo ke mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh. Sie len ah, el ac David lain mwet Philistia su fahsreni in mweun. Mwet Israel elos foloki,
10 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.
a el tu na lain mwet Philistia nwe ke na paol tulakyak ac el tia ku in fuhlela cutlass natul ah. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac. Tukun tari mweun ah, mwet Israel elos folokla nu yorol Eleazar ac elos sarukla mwe mweun liki monin mwet misa.
11 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.
Mwet se aktolu ke mwet pwengpeng tolu ah pa Shammah, wen natul Agee, mwet Harar. Mwet Philistia elos tuh fahsreni nu Lehi, acn se ma oasr ima in pea se we. Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Philistia,
12 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.
a Shammah el tia kaing. El tu na in ima sac ac loangela, ac uniya mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El oru kutangla na yohk se in len sac.
13 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.
Ke apkuranyang pacl in kosrani ah, tolu sin u se pangpang “Mwet Tolngoul” eltal tufokla nu ke Luf Adullam, acn David el tuh muta we. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia su muta ke nien aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.
14 And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
Ke pacl se ingan David el muta ke sie tohktok ma kuhlusyukyak, ac sie pac un mwet Philistia elos sruokya acn Bethlehem ac muta we.
15 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!
David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem.”
16 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.
Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utiya kof ke lufin kof sac, ac usla nu yorol David. Tusruktu el tiana nimya, a el okoala nu infohk uh tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
17 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.
El fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga koflana nim kof se inge, mweyen ac oana ngan nim srahn mwet su pilesrala moul lalos inge!” Ouinge el srangesr nim. Na pa ingan orekma pulaik lun mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah.
18 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.
Abishai, tamulel lal Joab (nina kialtal pa Zeruiah) el pa mwet kol lun “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
19 Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul,” ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.
20 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:
Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie pac mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac pus ma pulaik el orala. Sie pacl ah el uniya mwet mweun na ku luo lun mwet Moab. Oayapa sie len ma yohk snow ah, el tufoki nu in luf se ac uniya lion soko.
21 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.
El uniya pac sie mwet Egypt na lulap su sruokya osra soko, a Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.
22 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
Pa ingan orekma pulaik lal Benaiah su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
23 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.
Arulana eteyuk el inmasrlolos, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. David el sang tuh elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.
24 Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty; and Elhanan, the son of Dodai, of Beth-lehem,
