2 Samuel 23
1 These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:
Ngayon, ito ang mga huling sinabi ni David—David na lalaking anak ni Jesse, ang taong mataas na kinikilala, ang siyang pinahiran ng langis ng Diyos ni Jacob, ang matamis na manunulat ng awit ng Israel.
2 “The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.
“Nangusap sa pamamagitan ko ang Espiritu ni Yahweh at nasa aking dila ang kaniyang salita.
3 The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, in the fear of God,
Sinabi ng Diyos ng Israel, sinabi ng Bato ng Israel sa akin, 'Ang isang namumuno nang makatarungan sa mga tao, namumuno ng may takot sa Diyos.
4 like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.
Siya ay magiging tulad ng liwanag sa umaga sa pagsikat ng araw, isang umaga na walang mga ulap, sa pag-usbong ng malambot na mga damo mula sa lupa sa pamamagitan nang maliwanag na sinag ng araw pagkatapos ng ulan.
5 But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.
Tunay nga, hindi ba gaya nito ang aking sambahayan sa harapan ng Diyos? Hindi ba gumawa siya ng tipan sa akin na walang hanggan, maayos at tiyak sa kahit na anong paraan? Hindi ba pinalago niya ang aking kaligtasan at tinupad ang aking bawat naisin?
6 But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.
Pero ang lahat ng mga walang kabuluhan, magiging katulad ng mga tinik na itatapon, dahil walang mga kamay ang makakapagtipon sa kanila.
7 And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”
Ang taong gagalaw sa kanila, kailangang gumamit ng kasangkapang bakal o tungkod ng sibat. Kailangan silang tupukin kung saan sila nakakalat.'”
8 These are the names of the valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.
Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga magigiting na kawal ni David: Jesbaal na Hacmonita na naging pangulo ng mga magiting na kawal. Nakapatay siya ng walong daang tao sa isang pagkakataon.
9 After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.
Sumunod sa kaniya si Eleazar na lalaking anak ni Dodo, lalaking anak ng isang Ahohita, isa sa tatlong magigiting na mga tauhan ni David. Naroon siya nang nilabanan nila ang mga taga-Filisteo na sama-samang nagtipon para makipagdigmaan, at nang umurong ang mga tauhan ng Israel.
10 And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.
Nanatili si Eleazar at nilabanan ang mga taga-Filisteo hanggang sa napagod ang kaniyang kamay at nanigas ang kaniyang kamay sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak sa kaniyang espada. Nagdala ng tagumpay si Yahweh sa araw na iyon. Bumalik ang hukbo pagkatapos ni Eleazar, para lang hubaran ang mga katawan.
11 And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,
Sumunod sa kaniya si Samma na lalaking anak ni Age, isang Hararita. Sama-samang nagtipon ang mga taga-Filisteo kung saan may bukid ng mga lentil, at tinakasan sila ng hukbo.
12 he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.
Pero tumayo si Samma sa gitna ng bukid at ipinagtanggol ito. Napatay niya ang mga taga-Filisteo at nagdala ng isang dakilang tagumpay kay Yahweh.
13 And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.
Tatlo sa tatlumpung tauhan ang bumaba papunta kay David sa panahon ng ani, sa kuweba ng Adullam. Nakakampo ang hukbo ng mga taga-Filisteo sa lambak ng Refaim.
14 And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.
Si David noon ay nasa kaniyang tanggulan, isang yungib, habang nagtatag ang mga taga-Filisteo sa Bethlehem.
15 Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside the gate!”
Nagnais si David ng tubig at sinabing, “Kung mayroon lamang magbibigay sa akin ng tubig na maiinom mula sa balon ng Bethlehem, ang balon na nasa tarangkahan!”
16 Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,
Kaya sinira ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki ang hukbo ng mga taga-Filisteo at sumalok ng tubig sa balon ng Betlehem, ang balon na nasa tarangkahan. Kumuha sila ng tubig at dinala ito kay David, pero hindi niya ininom ito. Sa halip, ibinuhos niya ito kay Yahweh.
17 saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.
Pagkatapos sinabi niya, “Huwag nawa pahintulutan, Yahweh, na inumin ko ito. Iinumin ko ba ang dugo ng mga taong nagbuwis ng kanilang mga buhay?” Kaya tumanggi siyang ininumin ito. Ito ang mga bagay na ginawa ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki.
18 Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned among the three,
Si Abisai, lalaking kapatid ni Joab at lalaking anak ni Zeruias, ang kapitan ng tatlo. Minsan na siyang nakipaglaban sa tatlong daang kalalakihan gamit ang kaniyang sibat at pinatay sila. Madalas siyang banggitin kasama ng tatlong kawal.
19 and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.
Hindi ba mas kilala siya kaysa tatlong kawal? Ginawa nila siyang kapitan. Gayunman, hindi napantayan ng kaniyang katanyagan ang katanyagan ng tatlong pinakakilalang mga kawal.
20 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days of snow.
Si Benaias, mula sa Kabzeel, ay lalaking anak ni Joaida; siya ang malakas na lalaki na gumawa ng mga dakilang gawa. Pinatay niya ang dalawang lalaking anak ni Ariel ng Moab. Bumaba rin siya sa loob ng isang hukay at pinatay ang leon habang nagniniyebe.
21 He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.
At pinatay niya ang isang napakalaking lalaking taga-Ehipto. May hawak na sibat ang taga-Ehipto, pero nakipaglabanan si Benaias sa kaniya gamit lamang ang isang tungkod. Inagaw niya mula sa kamay ng taga-Ehipto at pinatay siya gamit ang kaniyang sariling sibat.
22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.
Ginawa ni Benaias anak na lalaki ni Joaida itong mga kahanga-hangang gawa, at pinangalanan siya kasama ng tatlong magigiting na lalaki.
23 And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.
Labis siyang hinangaan kaysa sa tatlumpung kawal sa pangkalahatan, pero hindi siya labis na hinahangaan gaya ng tatlong pinaamahusay na kawal. Pero ginawa siya ni David na tagapamahala ng kaniyang mga tagabantay.
24 Among the thirty were: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of his paternal uncle, from Bethlehem,
