1 Ljetopisa 12
1 Evo onih što dođoše k Davidu u Siklag dok se još uklanjao od Kiševa sina Šaula i bili su mu među junacima pomagači u boju;
Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle;
2 umjeli su rukovati lukom i desnicom i ljevicom i znali se služiti kamenjem i strijelama. Između Šaulove braće, Benjaminovaca:
they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
3 vojvoda Ahiezer i Joaš, sinovi Gibeanca Šemaje, pa Jeziel i Pelet, Azmavetovi sinovi, i Beraka i Jehu Anatoćanin;
Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
4 Gibeonac Išmaja, junak među tridesetoricom i nad tridesetoricom, Jeremija, Jahaziel, Johanan i Jozabad Gederoćanin;
Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 Eluzaj, Jerimot, Bealja, Šemarja i Šefatja Harufejac;
Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 Elkana, Jišija, Azarel, Joezer i Jašobam Korhinjani,
Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
7 Joel i Zebadja, sinovi Jerohama Gedorca.
and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
8 Neki su Gadovci prešli k Davidu u tvrđavu u pustinju, hrabri junaci, ratnici vješti boju, naoružani štitom i kopljem; lica im bijahu kao lavovska, a brzi bijahu kao gazele po gorama:
Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
9 vojvoda Ezer, drugi Obadja, treći Eliab;
Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 četvrti Mišmana, peti Jeremija,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 šesti Ataj, sedmi Eliel;
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 osmi Johanan, deveti Elzabad,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 deseti Jeremija, jedanaesti Makbanaj.
Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
14 To su bile od Gadovih sinova vojne starješine, najmanji nad stotinom, a najveći nad tisućom.
These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
15 To su oni koji su prvoga mjeseca prešli preko Jordana kad se razlio preko svih svojih obala i koji su rastjerali sve stanovnike iz dubokih dolina na istok i na zapad.
These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.
16 Došli su i od Benjaminovih i Judinih sinova k Davidu u tvrđavu.
Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
17 David je izašao pred njih i, progovorivši, rekao im: “Ako dolazite s mirom k meni da mi pomognete, moje će se srce ujediniti s vama; ako li ste došli da me izdate mojim neprijateljima, neka Bog naših otaca vidi i neka osudi, jer nema nepravde na mojim rukama!”
And David went out to meet them, saying, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you.”
18 Tada duh obuze Amasaja, vojvodu nad tridesetoricom, i on reče: “Tebi, Davide! S tobom, sine Jišajev, mir! Mir s tobom, mir s onim tko ti pomaže, jer tvoj pomoćnik jest tvoj Bog!” Tako ih je David primio i postavio ih među vojvode nad četama.
Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.
19 Od Manašeovih su sinova neki prešli k Davidu kad je išao s Filistejcima na Šaula u boj, ali im nije pomogao, jer su ga filistejski knezovi, dobro promislivši, otpustili govoreći: “Mogao bi prijeći k svome gospodaru Šaulu, a to bi nas stajalo glava.”
Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)
20 Kad se, dakle, vraćao u Siklag, prešli su k njemu od Manašeova plemena: Adna, Jozabad, Jedael, Mihael, Jozabad, Elihu i Siltaj, glavari tisućnici u Manašeovu plemenu.
When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
21 Oni su pomagali Davidu protiv razbojničkih četa jer su svi bili hrabri junaci te su postali zapovjednici u njegovoj vojsci.
They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
22 Iz dana u dan odista su dolazili k Davidu da mu pomažu, sve dok njegov tabor ne postade divovski, kao Božji tabor.
For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
23 Evo broja ljudi naoružanih za rat koji su došli k Davidu u Hebron da Šaulovo kraljevstvo prenesu na nj po Jahvinoj zapovijedi:
Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:
24 Judinih sinova, koji su nosili štit i koplje, šest tisuća i osam stotina naoružanih za rat.

28 i mladi Sadok, hrabar junak, i od njegova roda dvadeset i dva kneza.
and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
29 A od Benjaminovih sinova, Šaulove braće, tri tisuće, jer ih je dotad najveći dio još ostao vjeran Šaulovoj kući.
From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.

32 Od Jisakarovih sinova, koji su umjeli proniknuti svoje vrijeme i spoznati što treba da učini Izrael; njihovih poglavara dvije stotine. Sva su im njihova braća bila podložna.
From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
33 Od Zebulunovih sinova, sposobnih za rat i naoružanih za boj svakojakim bojnim oružjem, pedeset tisuća, koji su se odvažna srca vrstali u bojne redove.
From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.

From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
35 od Danova plemena dvadeset i osam tisuća i šest stotina naoružanih za boj,
From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
36 a od Ašerova plemena četrdeset tisuća sposobnih za vojsku i za boj opremljenih.
From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
37 Od onih s onu stranu Jordana, od Rubenova, od Gadova i od polovine Manašeova plemena, sto i dvadeset tisuća ljudi sa svakojakim ratnim oružjem.
And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.
38 Svi ti vojnici, svrstani u bojne redove, dođoše poštena srca u Hebron da zakralje Davida nad svim Izraelom; i svi su ostali Izraelci bili jednodušni da Davida postave za kralja.
All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
39 Proveli su s Davidom tri dana, jedući i pijući. Braća sve spremiše za njih.
They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
40 Njihovi su najbliži susjedi, sve do Jisakara, Zebuluna i Naftalija, donosili hranu na magarcima, devama i mazgama, a na volovima jela: brašna, smokvenih kolača, suha grožđa, vina, ulja, krupne i sitne stoke izobila, jer je bilo veselje u Izraelu.
And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.
