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:
Ary izao no fara-teny nataon’ i Davida: hoy Davida, zanak’ i Jese, dia ny lehilahy izay voasandratra ho ambony, Ilay voahosotry ny Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba sady mpanao fihirana mahafinaritra amin’ ny Isiraely:
2 The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
Ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah no mampiteny ahy, ary ny teniny no eo amin’ ny lelako;
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,
Andriamanitry ny Isiraely manao hoe, eny, ny Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely miteny amiko hoe: Indro ny Mpanapaka ny olona; Marina Izy sady manapaka amin’ ny fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra;
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.
Ary izany dia toy ny fahazavan’ ny maraina, raha miposaka ny masoandro, dia ilay maraina tsy misy rahona iny; Ary ny ahitra manorobona amin’ ny tany noho ny hain’ andro manarakaraka ny ranonorana.
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?
Ary tsy toy izany indrindra amin’ Andriamanitra va ny taranako? Fa fanekena mandrakizay no nataony tamiko, Voalamina amin’ ny zavatra rehetra sady voatandrina; Fa ny famonjena ahy rehetra sy ny iriko rehetra, moa tsy hampitsimohiny va?
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:
Fa ny tena ratsy fanahy rehetra kosa dia tahaka ny tsilo ariana, Fa tsy azo raisin’ ny tanana izy;
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.
Ary ny olona izay mikasika azy Dia tsy maintsy mitondra vy sy zaran-defona; Ary hodorana amin’ ny afo avokoa amin’ izay itoerany ireny.
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.
Ary izao no anaran’ ny lehilahy maherin’ i Davida: Joseba-basebeta Takemonita no lehiben’ ny mpanafika malaza; izy ilay Edino Eznita izay namely ny valon-jato lahy ka nahafaty azy tamin’ ny ady indray mandeha monja.
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,
Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Dodo, zanak’ i Ahohita, anankiray amin’ izy telo lahy mahery teo amin’ i Davida, raha nihaika ny Filistina izay niangona hiady ireo, ka niakatra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely;
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.
dia nitsangana Eleazara ka namely ny Filistina mandra-pahavizan’ ny tànany ka efa niraikitra tamin’ ny sabatra; ary Jehovah nanao famonjena lehibe tamin’ izany andro izany, ka ny haka babo ihany no sisa nanarahan’ ny olona azy.
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.
Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Sama, zanak’ i Age Hararita. Ary nony nivory ho iray toko teo amin’ ny tany nisy voanemba maniry ny Filistina, ary ny olona nandositra azy,
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.
dia nijanona teo afovoan’ io tany io kosa izy ka nahazo io ary namono ny Filistina; ka dia nanao famonjena lehibe Jehovah.
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.
Ary nisy telo lahy samy malaza avy tamin’ ny telo-polo lahy nidina ka tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao amin’ ny zohin’ i Adolama nony fararano; ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina nitoby teo amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
14 And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
Ary Davida dia tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana tamin’ izay, ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina kosa dia tao Betlehema.
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!
Ary Davida naniry ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hampisotro rano ahy avy amin’ ny fantsakana ao Betlehema, ilay ao akaikin’ ny vavahady!
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.
Ary ireo telo lahy mahery namaky teo amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina ka nanovo rano tamin’ ny fantsakana tao Betlehema, izay teo anilan’ ny vavahady, dia nentiny ho any amin’ i Davida; kanjo tsy nety nisotro izy, fa naidiny ho an’ i Jehovah iny.
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.
Fa hoy Davida: Sanatria, Jehovah ô, raha hanao izany aho; tsy ran’ ny lehilahy izay nandeha nanao vy very ny ainy va ity? Ka dia tsy nety nisotro izy. Izany zavatra izany no nataon’ ireo telo lahy mahery ireo.
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.
Ary Abisay, rahalahin’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no lehibe amin’ izy telo lahy, ary izy namely ny telon-jato lahy tamin’ ny lefona ka nahafaty azy, ka dia izy no nalaza tamin’ izy telo lahy.
19 Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
Tsy izy va no be voninahitra noho izy telo lahy? Fa izy no lehibeny; nefa tsy nahomby ny telo lahy teo izy.
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:
Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, zanaky ny lehilahy mahay tany Kabezela, izay nahavita asa be, izy no namono ny roa lahy mahery tany Moaba; ary izy no nidina ka namono ny liona tao an-davaka fantsakana tamin’ ilay andro nisy oram-panala iny;
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.
ary izy koa no namono ilay Egyptiana makadiry be; ary ilay Egyptiana nitondra lefona teny an-tànany, nefa namorotsahan’ i Benaia tamin’ ny tehiny ihany izy, dia nosarihany ny lefona teny an-tànan’ ilay Egyptiana, ka iny lefony iny ihany no namonoany azy.
22 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
Izany no nataon’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary tamin’ izy telo lahy mahery dia izy no nalaza.
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.
Izy no nalaza noho ny telo-polo lahy, nefa tsy nahomby azy telo lahy teo izy. Ary Davida nanendry azy ho isan’ ny mpanolo-tsaina azy.
24 Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty; and Elhanan, the son of Dodai, of Beth-lehem,
