Luo Samuel 23
1 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:
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Ngun lun LEUM GOD kaskas nu sik tuh nga in fahk nu suwos; Kas lal oan in oalik.
“The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 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,
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 El oana kalmen faht ke sie lotutang wangin pukunyeng, Faht se su oru mah uh saromrom tukun af uh.”
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 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.
Isn’t my house 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. Won’t he make it grow?
6 A mwet tia etu ke God elos oana otonmu ma mwet uh sisla; Wangin mwet ku in kahlye fin tia nukla pao.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Kom enenu in orekmakin kufwen sroasr osra, ku osra in fakfuk; Mwet inge ac fah firiryak nufon.
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 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.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 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,
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10 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.
He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
11 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,
After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 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.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 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.
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 encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 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.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem.”
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 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.
The three mighty men 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 the LORD.
17 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.
He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 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.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul,” ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.
Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 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.
He killed a huge Egyptian, 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 killed him with his own spear.
22 Pa ingan orekma pulaik lal Benaiah su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Arulana eteyuk el inmasrlolos, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. David el sang tuh elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
