1 Mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu yorol David in acn Hebron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut mwet srahm na pwaye ac kut ikwa sefanna.
Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
2 In pacl somla, finne Saul pa tokosra lasr ah, kom pa kol mwet Israel ke mweun, ac LEUM GOD lom el wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah leum fin mwet Israel ac karingin kut oana sie mwet shepherd.”
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a ruler over my people Israel.'”
3 Ouinge mwet kol nukewa lun Israel elos tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron. David el orala sie wulela na ku yorolos, ac elos mosrwella tuh elan tokosra lun Israel, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela kac in kas lal Samuel.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel. In this way, the word of Yahweh that had been declared by Samuel came true.
4 Tokosra David ac mwet Israel nukewa elos utyak nu Jerusalem ac mweuni siti sac. In pacl se ingo inen siti sac pa Jebus, ac mwet na pwaye lun an we — mwet Jebus — elos srakna muta we.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). Now the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 Mwet Jebus elos tuh fahk nu sel David mu el ac tiana ku in utyak nu in siti sac. Tusruktu David el sruokya pot ku lalos Zion, na mutawauk in pangpang acn sac “Siti sel David.”
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
6 David el fahk, “Mwet se emeet su uniya sie mwet Jebus, el ac fah captain lun un mwet mweun!” Na Joab, su nina kial pa Zeruiah, el pa fahsryak emeet in mweun, ouinge el pa captain lun un mwet mweun lal David.
David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become chief and commander.” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, so he was made the chief.
7 Ke sripen David el som muta ke pot sac, acn sac tufah pangpang “Siti sel David.”
Then David began to live in the stronghold. So they called it the city of David.
8 David el sifil musaela siti sac, mutawauk ke acn se ma koaneyukla layen kutulap in eol soko we. Ac Joab el aksasuye acn lula ke siti sac.
He built the city all around from the Millo and back to the surrounding wall. Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 David el kapkapak ac kui, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El welul.
David became greater and greater because Yahweh of hosts was with him.
10 Inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David pa takinyukla inge. U se inge, weang mwet Israel nukewa saya, elos kasrel David tuh elan tokosrala in oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela, ac elos oru tuh tokosrai lal in ku na.
These were the leaders David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, obeying the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11 Mwet se meet an pa Jashobeam, ke sou lulap lal Hachmon. El mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.
This is a list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, was commander of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear on one occasion.
12 Mwet se akluo sin mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh.
After him was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 El welul David mweun lain mwet Philistia ke mweun se in Pas Dammim. El tuh muta in ima in barley se ke mwet Israel elos mutawauk in kaing.
He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines assembled together for battle, where there was a barley field and the army fled from the Philistines.
14 Eleazar ac mwet lal elos tiana kaing, a elos tu na infulwen ima sac ac mweun lain mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla na yohk se nu sel.
They stood in the middle of the field. They defended it and cut down the Philistines and Yahweh rescued them with a great victory.
15 Sie len ah, tolu sin mwet mweun pwengpeng tolngoul som nu ke acn se David el muta we sisken sie eot ma apkuran nu ke Luf Adullam. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia mutangan aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.
Then three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 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.
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established their camp at Bethlehem.
17 David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem!”
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”
18 Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utia 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.
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
19 El fahk, “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.
Then he said, “May it be that I should never do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives?” Because they had put their lives at risk, David refused to drink it. These were the deeds of the three mighty men.
20 Abishai, tamulel lal Joab, el pa mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul in lain mwet tolfoko, ac el onelosi nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
Abishai brother of Joab was captain over the Three. He once used his spear against three hundred and killed them. He is mentioned along with the Three.
21 El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.
Of the Three, he was given double honor and became their captain, even though he was not one of them.
22 Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac el oru ma watwen pus. 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 son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel, who did great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion on a day when the snow was falling.
23 El oayapa uniya mukul Egypt se — sie mwet yohk pisa ac fit itkosr tafu fulatal, ac el sruokya osra na lulap soko. Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra soko liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.
He even killed an Egyptian, a man five cubits tall. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
24 Pa ingan kutu ma watwen Benaiah el oru, su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside the three mighty men.
25 El pisrla inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. Na David el sang tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.
He was more highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
