1 Chronicles 12
1 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;
He tah Kish capa Saul mikhmuh lamloh a vi uh vaengah Ziklag kah David taengla aka kun uh tih hlangrhalh rhoek khui lamloh caemtloek vaengah aka bom khaw amih ni.
2 they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
Lii aka muk tih banvoei neh bantang ah lungto neh, thaltang neh, lii neh aka naep Benjamin ko neh Saul kah pacaboeina tah,
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
Boeilu Ahiezer neh Gibeah Shemaah koca ah Joash, Jeziel, Azmaveth koca ah Pelet, Berakah, Anatoth Jehu.
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
Sawmthum so neh sawmthum lakli kah hlangrhalh Gibonee Ishmaiah. Jeremiah neh Jahaziel, Johanan neh Gederathite Jozabad.
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, Kharuphi Shephatiah.
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer neh Korah Jashobeam.
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
Joelah neh Gedor lamkah Jeroham capa Zebadiah.
8 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:
Gad lamkah khaw khosoek rhalmahim ah David taengla kun uh tih caempuei khuiah tatthai hlangrhalh hlang la omuh. Caemtloek vaengah khaw photlinglen neh cai neh a rhong a pai uh. A maelhmai te sathueng maelhmai la om tih tlang kah kirhang bangla loe uh.
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
Ezer te a lu, a pabae te Obadiah, a pathum te Eliab.
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
A pali te Mishmannah, a panga te Jeremiah.
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
A parhuk te Attai, a parhih te Eliel.
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
A parhet ah Johanan, a pako ah Elzabad.
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
A hlai ah Jeremiah, a hlai at dongah Makhbanai.
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
He rhoek he Gad koca rhoek khui lamkah caempuei boeilu rhoek ni. Pakhat loh a yol koek yakhat, a yet koek thawng khat a hung.
15 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.
Amih rhoek he tah tuikaeng langdai pum te tui a li vaengkah lamhma cuek hla ah Jordan te kat uh. Te vaengah tuikol pum te khocuk la, khotlak la yong uh.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
Benjamin neh Judah koca rhoek lamkah khaw, rhalmahim kah David taengla pawk uh.
17 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.”
David te amih mikhmuh la mop tih a doo. Te vaengah amih te, “Rhoepnah neh kai bom hamla kai taengah na pawk uh atah kai khaw nangmih taengah thinko thikat la om bitni. Tedae ka rhal taengah kai nan phok ham atah ka kut ah kuthlahnah a om oeh pawt dongah a pa rhoek kah Pathen loh hmuh saeh lamtah tluung saeh,” a ti nah.
18 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.
Te vaengah Mueihla loh sawmthum kah boeilu Amasai te a thing tih, “David nang te rhalboei ni. Jesse capa nang taengah rhoepnah om saeh. Nang taengah ngaimongnah om saeh. Nang aka bom taengah rhoepnah om saeh. Na Pathen loh nang m'bom bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh amih te a doe tih amih te caem kah boeilu la a khueh.
19 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.”)
Saul te caemtloek thil ham Philisti neh a paan vaengah Manasseh lamkah khaw David taengla cungku uh. Tedae Philisti boei rhoek loh anih te cilsuep hnukah a tueih uh tih, “A boei rhoek taengla Saul a cungku atah kaimih lu ah tla saeh,” a ti nah dongah amih te bom uh pawh.
20 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.
Ziklag la a caeh vaengah tah Manasseh lamloh Adnah neh Jozabad, Jediael neh Michael, Jozabad, Elihu neh Zillethai tah anih taengla cungku uh. Amih he Manasseh khuiah tah thawngkhat kah boeilu rhoek la om uh.
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
Amih te tatthai hlangrhalh neh caempuei khuiah khaw mangpa la boeih a om uh dongah David te caem nen khaw a bom thil uh.
22 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.
Te vaengah tue ah ngawn tah Pathen caem bangla caem len la a poeh hil, anih bom ham te David taengla a hnin, a hnin ah pawk uh.
23 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:
He tah anih taengkah BOEIPA ol bangla Saul kah ram vael pah hamla Hebron kah David taengla aka pawk tih caempuei hamla aka pumcum uh boeilu rhoek kah hlangmi ni.
24 From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
Photlinglen neh cai aka muk tih caempuei hamla aka pumcum uh Judah koca he thawng rhuk ya rhet.
25 From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.

26 From Levi: 4,600,

27 including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,

28 and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
Tatthai hlangrhalh la cadong Zadok neh a napa rhoek imkhui he mangpa pakul panit om.
29 From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
Benjamin koca lamloh Saul kah pacaboeina he thawng thum lo tih Saul im kah a kuek te a puehkan la a ngaithuen uh.
30 From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
Ephraim koca lamloh tatthai hlangrhalh neh a napa rhoek imkhui kah ming om hlang rhoek he thawng kul ya rhet lo.
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
David a manghai ham vaengah Menasseh koca hlangvang lamloh aka pawk te a ming neh thawng hlai rhet la mingpha uh.
32 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
A tue te yakmingnah neh aka ming tih, Israel loh metla a saii ham aka ming Issakhar koca lamkah khaw a boeilu yahnih neh, a olka hmuikah a manuca rhoek khaw cungkuem uh.
33 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.
Zebulun lamkah he caempuei la pawk tih caemtloek hnopai cungkuem neh caemtloek rhong aka pai thawng sawmnga om. Tedae a lungbuei neh lungbuei khaw hmaai uh rhoi pawh.
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.

36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
Asher lamloh caemtloek rhongpai ham caempuei la aka pawk he thawng sawmli lo.
37 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.
Jordan rhalvangan lamkah Reuben, Gad neh Manasseh koca hlangvang lamlong khaw caempuei kah hnopai cungkuem neh caemtloek he thawng yahnih thawng kul om.
38 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.
Caem vaengah kah a hmaai caemtloek hlang rhoek boeih tah Israel boeih soah David manghai sak ham te thinko rhuemtuet neh Hebron la pawk uh. Te vaengah Israel a meet boeih long khaw David manghai sak ham te lungbuei pakhat la a khueh.
39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
Te vaengah David neh hnin thum pahoi om uh tih amih te a cako la a tawn uh coeng dongah a caak a ok uh.
40 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.
Amih neh aka yoei long khaw Issakhar, Zebulun neh Naphtali bangla buh te laak neh, kalauk neh, muli-marhang neh, saelhung neh a thoeng puei uh. Caak ham te vaidam, thaidae, misur rhae, misurtui, situi, saelhung neh boiva khaw Israel khuikah kohoenah cangpai la a khuen pauh.
