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;
David el muta Ziklag, acn el tuh som nu we ke el kakaingkunul Tokosra Saul. Pus mwet mweun fas ac oaru elos tuh welulang in pacl sac.
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):
Mwet ingan ma ke sruf lal Benjamin, sruf pac lal Saul. Elos fin pisr, ku orekmakin fuht natulos, elos ku in orekmakin paolos kewa, layot ac lasa.
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;
Captain lun u se inge pa Ahiezer ac Joash, wen luo natul Shemaah, mwet Gibeah. Inen mwet mweun wialos pa inge: Jeziel ac Pelet, wen luo natul Azmaveth Beracah ac Jehu, mwet Anathoth
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
Joelah ac Zebadiah, wen natul Jeroham mwet Gedor
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:
Pa inge inen mwet mweun pwengpeng ac fas in sruf lal Gad su weang un mwet lal David ke el tuh muta ke pot se yen mwesis ah. Elos arulana etu orekmakin mwe loeyuk ac osra. Ngetnget lalos sulallal oana mutun lion, ac elos irpit oana deer fineol uh.
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
Pa inge takin wal lalos: Ezer pa emeet, Obadiah akluo, Eliab aktolu,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Mishmannah akakosr, Jeremiah aklimekosr,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Attai akonkosr, Eliel akitkosr,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Johanan akoalkosr, Elzabad akeu,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
Jeremiah aksingoul, ac Machbannai aksingoul sie.
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
Kutu sin mwet in sruf lal Gad inge elos captain fulat fin tausin, ac kutu elos mwet kol fin foko.
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.
Ke malem se meet in yac se ma Infacl Jordan tuh sronot lulap, mwet inge elos fahsr sasla infacl ah, ac ukweak mwet nukewa su muta ke infahlfal nu kutulap, oayapa infahlfal nu roto.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
Sie pacl ah sie u sin mwet Benjamin ac mwet Judah elos fahla nu ke pot se David el muta we.
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 el som in sonolos ac el fahk nu selos, “Kowos fin tuku ke misla tuh kowos in kasreyu, nga engan in paing kowos. Fahsru, wikutyang! A kowos fin nunku in tukakinyuyak nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, sruhk wangin ma nga oru koluk nu suwos, God lun papa tumasr El etu, ac El ac fah sot kaiyuk nu suwos.”
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.
Na ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu fin sie selos, Amasai, su tok el pa captain lun “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, ac el fahk ke pusra lulap, “David, wen natul Jesse, kut mwet lom! Insewowo nu sum ac nu selos nukewa su kasrekom! God El wi kom lac.” David el paingulos ac eisalos tuh elos in captain lun un mwet mweun lal.
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.”)
Kutu mwet mweun in sruf lal Manasseh elos tuh welulang David ke pacl se el wi mwet Philistia som in mweunel Tokosra Saul. Tusruktu David el tuh tiana kasru mwet Philistia in pacl sac, ke sripen tokosra lalos elos sensen mu David el ac tuh forla welul Saul lainulos, oru elos folokunulla David nu Ziklag.
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.
Pa inge inen mwet mweun lun Manasseh su welulang David ke pacl el folok ah: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, ac Zillethai. Kais sie mwet inge elos tuh captain fin mwet mweun sie tausin in acn Manasseh.
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
Elos kulansupwal David ac kol mwet mweun lal, mweyen elos nukewa mwet na fas ke mweun. Tok, elos captain lun un mwet mweun lun Israel nufon.
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.
Apkuran in len nukewa oasr mwet sasu welulang David, pwanang un mwet mweun lal ah sa na in kui ac arulana yohk.
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:
Ke David el tuh muta Hebron, mwet mweun puspis elos tuku weang un mwet mweun lal in kasrel tuh elan aolulla Saul ac tokosra, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela kac.
24 From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
Pisen mwet Judah ma utuk mwe loang ac osra pa mwet onkosr tausin oalfoko.
25 From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.
Pisen mwet Simeon su akola nu ke mweun pa mwet itkosr tausin siofok.
26 From Levi: 4,600,
Pisen mwet Levi pa mwet akosr tausin onfoko:
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.
mwet in sou lal Zadok, su sie mwet fusr pulaik, oasr mwet kol longoul luo.
29 From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
Pisen mwet Benjamin (sruf lal Saul sifacna) pa mwet tolu tausin — pusiyen mwet Benjamin elos tuh welul na Saul.
30 From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
Pisen mwet Ephraim pa mwet longoul tausin oalfoko su pwengpeng in sou lalos sifacna.
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
Pisen mwet in Tafun Manasseh Roto pa mwet singoul oalkosr tausin su sulosolla in som ac akleumyal David.
32 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
Pisen mwet Issachar pa mwet kol luofoko, weang pac mwet lalos uh. (Mwet inge kewa etu ma fal mwet Israel in oru, oayapa ke pacl fal in mukuikui kac).
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.
Pisen mwet Zebulun pa mwet lumngaul tausin su alken ke orekma ac arulana pwaye insialos, oayapa elos etu orekmakinyen mwe mweun nukewa.
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
Pisen mwet Naphtali pa sie tausin mwet kol, weang pac mwet tolngoul itkosr tausin su utuk mwe loeyuk ac osra.

36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
Pisen mwet Asher pa mwet angngaul tausin su akola nu ke mweun.
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.
Pisen mwet Reuben ac Gad ac Tafun Manasseh Kutulap, (sruf inge kewa muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan) oasr mwet siofok longoul tausin, ac elos nukewa pahla ke utuk kain in mwe mweun nukewa.
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.
Mwet mweun inge nukewa elos akola nu ke mweun ke elos som nu Hebron ke sripa sifanna: in akleumyal David tuh elan tokosra fin Israel nufon. Ac mwet Israel nukewa wialos insese pac nu kac.
39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
Mwet mweun inge elos muta yorol David ke lusen len tolu, ac elos mongo ac nim ma mwet Israel wialos tuh akoo nu selos.
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.
Finne mwet su muta loesla nu epang — oana mwet in sruf lun Issachar, Zebulun, ac Naphtali — elos utuk mwe mongo fin donkey, camel, miul, ac cow natulos. Pukanten flao, fig, tun in raisin, wain, ac oil in olive. Elos usla pac cow ac sheep, elos in uniya mwe mongo pac. Ma inge nukewa mwe akkalemye lupan engan lun mwet Israel yen nukewa.
