< 歷代志上 12 >
1 大衛因怕基士的兒子掃羅,躲在洗革拉的時候,有勇士到他那裏幫助他打仗。
La ngamabutho ayeloDavida eZikhilagi, ngesikhathi engavunyelwa ukubonakala kuSawuli indodana kaKhishi (kwakungamaqhawe ayemhlomulele empini;
2 他們善於拉弓,能用左右兩手甩石射箭,都是便雅憫人掃羅的族弟兄。
ayehlome ngemitshoko, ezingcitshi ekutshokeni lokutshaya ngezavutha loba ejikijela ngesokudla loba ngesenxele; ayeyizihlobo zikaSawuli engawesizwe sikaBhenjamini):
3 為首的是亞希以謝,其次是約阿施,都是基比亞人示瑪的兒子。還有亞斯瑪威的兒子耶薛和毗力,又有比拉迦,並亞拿突人耶戶,
U-Ahiyezeri induna yawo loJowashi amadodana kaShemaha owaseGibhiya; loJeziyeli loPhelethi amadodana ka-Azimavethi; loBherakha, loJehu umʼAnathothi,
4 基遍人以實買雅(他在三十人中是勇士,管理他們),且有耶利米、雅哈悉、約哈難,和基得拉人約撒拔、
kanye lo-Ishimaya umGibhiyoni, indoda eyayilamandla amakhulu kwabangamatshumi amathathu, engumkhokheli wabangamatshumi amathathu, loJeremiya, loJahaziyeli, loJohanani, loJozabhadi umGederathi,
5 伊利烏賽、耶利摩、比亞利雅、示瑪利雅,哈律弗人示法提雅,
lo-Eluzayi, loJerimothi, loBheliya, loShemariya kanye loShefathiya umHarufi,
6 可拉人以利加拿、耶西亞、亞薩列、約以謝、雅朔班,
lo-Elikhana, lo-Ishiya, lo-Azareli, loJowezeri loJashobheyamu amaKhora;
kanye loJowela loZebhadiya amadodana kaJerohamu waseGedori.
8 迦得支派中有人到曠野的山寨投奔大衛,都是大能的勇士,能拿盾牌和槍的戰士。他們的面貌好像獅子,快跑如同山上的鹿。
Abanye abakoGadi babalekela kuDavida enqabeni yakhe enkangala. Babengamabutho alezibindi, belungele ukulwa njalo bekwazi ukuphatha ihawu lomkhonto. Ubuso babo babungobezilwane, njalo belesiqubu njengamagogo ezintabeni.
U-Ezeri wayeyinduna, u-Obhadaya engumsekeli womlawuli, u-Eliyabi engowesithathu,
uMishimana engowesine, uJeremiya engowesihlanu,
u-Athayi engowesithupha, u-Eliyeli engowesikhombisa,
uJohanani engowesificaminwembili, u-Elizabhadi engowesificamunwemunye,
uJeremiya engumsekeli wetshumi kanye loMakhabhanayi owayengowetshumi lanye.
14 這都是迦得人中的軍長,至小的能抵一百人,至大的能抵一千人。
Amadoda akoGadi ayengabalawuli bamabutho, kuthi omncinyane wabo wayengamelana labalikhulu kodwa omkhulu wabo engamelana labayinkulungwane.
15 正月,約旦河水漲過兩岸的時候,他們過河,使一切住平原的人東奔西逃。
Yiwo la amadoda achapha uJodani ngenyanga yakuqala umfula ugcwele uphuphuma emakhunjini awo wonke, yibo njalo abaxotsha bonke ababehlala ezihotsheni, empumalanga kanye lasentshonalanga.
Amanye amadoda akoBhenjamini lamanye ayevela koJuda lawo alandela uDavida khonale enqabeni yakhe.
17 大衛出去迎接他們,對他們說:「你們若是和和平平地來幫助我,我心就與你們相契;你們若是將我這無罪的人賣在敵人手裏,願我們列祖的上帝察看責罰。」
UDavida waphuma ukuba ayewahlangabeza wathi kuwo: “Nxa lingilandela ngokuthula, lizongiphathisa njengabangane, ngizimisele ukuhlanganyela kanye lani. Kodwa nxa lidinga ukunginikela ezitheni zami, mina ngimsulwa, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho kakubone lokho, alijezise.”
18 那時上帝的靈感動那三十個勇士的首領亞瑪撒,他就說: 大衛啊,我們是歸於你的! 耶西的兒子啊,我們是幫助你的! 願你平平安安, 願幫助你的也都平安! 因為你的上帝幫助你。 大衛就收留他們,立他們作軍長。
Ngakho uMoya wasesehlela ku-Amasayi, umlawuli wabangamatshumi amaThathu, wathi: “Singabakho thina, wena Davida! Sikanye lawe wena ndodana kaJese! Impumelelo, impumelelo kuwe, njalo impumelelo kulabo abaphathisana lawe! Ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uzakusiza.” Ngakho uDavida wabamukela wabenza abakhokheli bamaviyo amabutho ayehlasela.
19 大衛從前與非利士人同去,要與掃羅爭戰,有些瑪拿西人來投奔大衛,他們卻沒有幫助非利士人;因為非利士人的首領商議,打發他們回去,說:「恐怕大衛拿我們的首級,歸降他的主人掃羅。」
Amanye amadoda akoManase abalekela kuDavida ekuhambeni kwakhe lamaFilistiya esiyahlasela uSawuli. (Yena kanye lamabutho akhe kasazange ancedise amaFilistiya, ngoba ngemva kokubuzisisana, ababusi bawo bathi kaxotshwe. Bathi bona: “Uyingozi kithi, ngoba angasiphendukela abuyele enkosini yakhe uSawuli.”)
20 大衛往洗革拉去的時候,有瑪拿西人的千夫長押拿、約撒拔、耶疊、米迦勒、約撒拔、以利戶、洗勒太都來投奔他。
UDavida wathi esiya eZikhilagi, nanka amadoda abaleka koManase amlandela: ngu-Adina, loJozabhadi, loJediyeli, loMikhayeli, loJozabhadi, lo-Elihu kanye loZilethayi ababengabalawuli benkulungwane koManase.
21 這些人幫助大衛攻擊群賊;他們都是大能的勇士,且作軍長。
Bancedisa uDavida ekulweni lamaviyo abahlaseli, ngoba bonke babengamabutho alezibindi, njalo basebengabalawuli phakathi kwamabutho akhe.
22 那時天天有人來幫助大衛,以致成了大軍,如上帝的軍一樣。
Insuku zonke, ukusa kwamalanga, kwakutheleka abantu bezoncedisa uDavida, waze waba lebutho elikhulu, njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
23 預備打仗的兵來到希伯崙見大衛,要照着耶和華的話將掃羅的國位歸與大衛。他們的數目如下:
Nanka amanani amadoda ayehlomele impi eza kuDavida eHebhroni ezomncedisa ukuthatha umbuso kaSawuli, njengokutsho kukaThixo:

amadoda ayevela koNafithali kwakuyizikhulu eziyinkulungwane eyodwa, kanye lamadoda ayephethe amahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa;

38 以上都是能守行伍的戰士,他們都誠心來到希伯崙,要立大衛作以色列的王。以色列其餘的人也都一心要立大衛作王。
Bonke laba babengamabutho azinikeleyo ukungena laloba yisiphi isigaba. Ngamabutho aya eHebhroni ezimisele ukufika abeke uDavida esihlalweni sobukhosi abe yinkosi ka-Israyeli. Abanye bonke abako-Israyeli babengqondonye befisa ukwethesa uDavida ubukhosi.
39 他們在那裏三日,與大衛一同吃喝,因為他們的族弟兄給他們預備了。
Wonke lamadoda athatha insuku ezintathu eloDavida, esidla njalo enatha, njengoba izimuli zawo zaziwalungisele umphako.
40 靠近他們的人以及以薩迦、西布倫、拿弗他利人將許多麵餅、無花果餅、乾葡萄、酒、油,用驢、駱駝、騾子、牛馱來,又帶了許多的牛和羊來,因為以色列人甚是歡樂。
