¹Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

¹ Woone yaŋ Dawda sanni banantey no. Dawda, Yasse izo, kaŋ i beerandi din no ka ciya Yakuba Irikoyo wane suubananta, Israyla bora no kaŋ na dooni kaano yaŋ te. Haŋ kaŋ a ci neeya:

²The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

² «Rabbi Biya salaŋ ay do, A sanno mo go ay deena boŋ.

³The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

³ Israyla Irikoyo no ka ci, Israyla tondo salaŋ ay se, Nga kaŋ ga borey may adilitaray ra, Nga kaŋ goono ga mayray te Irikoy humburkumay ra.

⁴And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

⁴ A ga ciya sanda susubay annura waato kaŋ cine wayna ga fatta, Susubay kaŋ burey si no. Waato kaŋ cine subu tayo ga zay ka fun laabo ra, Kaŋ wayna ga kaari beene hari kaŋyaŋ banda.

⁵Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

⁵ Haciika, manti yaadin no ay dumo bara Irikoy do bo. Kulu nda yaadin a na alkawli kaŋ ga duumi sambu ay se. A na hay kulu sasabandi, Ka hay kulu tabbatandi mo. Zama ay faaba me, D'ay muraadey kulu me mo, Manti a ga daŋ a ma beeri?

⁶But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

⁶ Amma boro yaamey kulu ga ciya sanda karjiyaŋ kaŋ i ga tuti, Zama i s'i di kambe ra.

⁷But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

⁷ Amma boro kaŋ g'i ham, kala nd'a gonda guuru goy jinay, Wala nd'a gonda yaaji bundu nga kambe ra. A g'i ton nda danji mo parkatak! ngey nangey ra.»

⁸These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

⁸ Wongaarey kaŋ Dawda gonda nga do, i maayey neeya: Yosebayam, Takemon boro, wongu jine borey ra boro beeri no, kaŋ se i ga ne Adino, Ezni boro. A na yaaji sambu boro zangu ahakku boŋ zaari folloŋ k'i wi.

⁹And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:

⁹ A banda mo kala Eliyezar, Dodo ize, Ahohi boro fo ize, afo sooje hinza din ra kaŋ yaŋ go Dawda banda waato kaŋ i na donda-caray te Filistancey gaa kaŋ yaŋ goono ga margu wongo do, amma Israyla borey jin ka dira.

¹⁰He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

¹⁰ Boro wo tun ka kay, ka Filistancey kar kal a kamba farga. A kamba naagu mo nga takuba gaa. Rabbi na faaba bambata te zaaro din ra. Jama mo ye ka kaa a do zama ngey ma wongu arzaka ku hinne.

¹¹And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.

¹¹ A banda mo kala Samma, Agee, Haror bora ize. Filistancey mo margu ka te sata, nangu kaŋ laabu toorimi fo go no kaŋ to nda damsi, borey zuru mo Filistancey jine.

¹²But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

¹² Amma nga wo koy faro din bindi ra, k'a batu. A na Filistancey wi mo, hala Rabbi na zaama bambata te.

¹³And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

¹³ Boro beeri waranza ra mo ihinza zulli ka kaa Dawda do heemar waate, naŋ kaŋ a go Adullam tondi guuso ra. Filistancey kunda mo goono ga Refayim gooro batu nda wongu marga.

¹⁴And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

¹⁴ Dawda mo, waato din a go wongu fuwo ra, Filistancey kosaraykoy mo go Baytlahami ra.

¹⁵And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

¹⁵ Dawda mo te laami ka ne: «Ya du boro fo day kaŋ g'ay no Baytlahami kwaara meyo jarga dayo hari ay ma haŋ!»

¹⁶And the three mighty men brake through the host 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: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.

¹⁶ Wongaari hinza din binde na Filistancey wongu daaga barsi ka hari kaa Baytlahami dayo kaŋ go kwaara meyo jarga din gaa. I kond'a Dawda se, amma a wangu ka haro haŋ. A n'a dooru Rabbi se.

¹⁷And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

¹⁷ A ne mo: «Ya Rabbi, a ma mooru ay ay ma woodin te. Ay ga borey kaŋ na ngey fundey daŋ kataru ra kuri haŋ, wala?» Woodin se no a mana yadda ka haro haŋ. Haŋ kaŋ wongaari hinza din te nooya.

¹⁸And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.

¹⁸ Abisay, Yowab kayno, Zeruwiya ize, nga no ga ti boro hinza din jine boro. A na nga yaajo sambu mo boro zangu hinza boŋ k'i wi. A te maa mo i boro hinza din ra.

¹⁹Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

¹⁹ Manti nga no ga ti bora kaŋ darza bisa cindey i boro hinza din ra bo? Woodin se a ciya i jine boro baa kaŋ a mana to ihinza fa din beeray.

²⁰And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

²⁰ Benaya, Yehoyda izo mo, Kabseyel wongaari fo ize no, kaŋ na hin goy fooyaŋ te, nga no ka Ariyel Mowab bora ize hinka wi. A zumbu mo ka furo guusu fo ra han fo kaŋ neezu* go ga kaŋ. A na muusu beeri fo wi noodin.

²¹And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: 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 slew him with his own spear.

²¹ A na Misirance fo wi, boro no kaŋ gonda darza. Misiranca mo gonda yaaji nga kambe ra, amma Benaya koy a do da kuray goobu, ka yaajo yafa ka kaa Misiranca kambe ra. A na Misiranca wi da nga bumbo yaajo.

²²These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.

²² Goy kaŋ Benaya, Yehoyda izo te nooya, a te maa mo wongaari hinza din ra.

²³He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

²³ A bisa waranza din darza, amma a mana to ihinza din maa. Dawda mo n'a daŋ nga doogarey boŋ.

²⁴Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
