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;
Aya nĩo andũ arĩa mookire kũrĩ Daudi arĩ kũu Zikilagi, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aaingatĩtwo akehera maitho-inĩ ma Saũlũ mũrũ wa Kishu (maarĩ amwe a njamba cia ita iria ciamũteithirie mbaara-inĩ;
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):
Nao maakuuaga mota na nĩmooĩ gũikia mĩguĩ, na gũikia mahiga na kĩgũtha, na guoko kwa ũrĩo kana kwa ũmotho; maarĩ a mbarĩ ĩmwe na Saũlũ kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini), nao maarĩ:

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
na Joela, na Zebadia, ariũ a Jerohamu kuuma Gedori.
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:
Agadi amwe nĩmagarũrũkire magĩcooka mwena wa Daudi o kũu werũ-inĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake. Maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme ciehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara, na nĩmooĩ kũhũthĩra ngo na itimũ. Mothiũ mao maahaanaga ta mothiũ ma mĩrũũthi, na maarĩ ihenya ta thwariga irĩ irĩma-inĩ.
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
Ezeri nĩwe warĩ mũnene wao, na Obadia aarĩ mũnini wake; nake Eliabu aarĩ wa gatatũ,

na Johanani aarĩ wa kanana, na Elizabadu aarĩ wa kenda,

na Jeremia aarĩ wa ikũmi, na Makabanai aarĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe.
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
Agadi acio maarĩ anene a mbũtũ cia ita; ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ igana, nake ũrĩa warĩ mũnene mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
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.
Nĩo maaringire Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mweri wa mbere rĩrĩa rwaiyũrĩte nginya rũkoina hũgũrũrũ ciaruo ciothe, na makĩingatithia andũ arĩa othe maaikaraga cianda-inĩ cia mwena wa irathĩro na mwena wa ithũĩro.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
Andũ amwe a kuuma Benjamini na angĩ a kuuma Juda o nao magĩũka kũrĩ Daudi kũu kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake.
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.”
Daudi agĩthiĩ kũmatũnga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo mũrooka kũrĩ niĩ na thayũ kũndeithia-rĩ, nĩndĩhaarĩirie kũmwamũkĩra tũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe; no angĩkorwo mũũkĩte kũngunyanĩra kũrĩ thũ ciakwa o rĩrĩa itarenda haaro-rĩ, Ngai wa maithe maitũ arorora ũndũ ũcio na amũtuĩre ciira.”
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho agĩikũrũkĩra Amasai, mũnene wa arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ aku, wee Daudi! Tũrĩ hamwe nawe, wee mũrũ wa Jesii! Ũrogaacĩra, ũgaacĩre ki, na arĩa magũteithagia marogaacĩra, nĩgũkorwo Ngai waku nĩegũgũteithia.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩmaamũkĩra na akĩmatua atongoria a mbũtũ ciake cia gũtharĩkĩra thũ.
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.”)
Andũ amwe a Manase nĩmagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wa Daudi rĩrĩa aathiire na Afilisti kũhũũrana na Saũlũ. (Daudi na andũ ake matiateithirie Afilisti, tondũ thuutha wa kwaranĩria, aathani ao nĩmamũingatire. Maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Tũkaarĩha na mĩoyo iitũ angĩgatũtiganĩria acookerere mwathi wake Saũlũ.”)
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aathiire Zikilagi, aya nĩo andũ a Manase arĩa maagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wake: Adina, na Jozabadu, na Jediaeli, na Mikaeli, na Jozabadu, na Elihu, na Zilethai, atongoria a ikundi cia ngiri kũu Manase.
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
Nĩmateithirie Daudi kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ iria ciamũtharĩkĩire, nĩgũkorwo othe maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme, na maarĩ anene a ita ciake.
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.
Mũthenya o mũthenya andũ nĩmookaga gũteithia Daudi, o nginya akĩgĩa na mbũtũ nene, o ta mbũtũ ya Ngai.
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:
Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa meehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara arĩa maathiire Hebironi kũrĩ Daudi nĩgeetha magarũre ũthamaki wa Saũlũ, maũnengere Daudi, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte:

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.
Acio othe maarĩ andũ a kũrũa arĩa meerutĩte gũtungata marĩ ita-inĩ. Magĩũka Hebironi marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe ya gũtua Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe. Andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ othe o nao maarĩ na rĩciiria o rĩmwe rĩa gũtua Daudi mũthamaki.

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.
