1 Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom bịakwutere Devid na Ziklag, mgbe e si nʼihu Sọl nwa Kish chụpụ ya. (Ha so nʼime ndị ọka agha nyeere Devid aka ibu agha.
2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:
Ngwa agha ha bụ ụta, ha nwere ike iji aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe gbapụ àkụ maọbụ fee ebe; ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Sọl si nʼebo Benjamin.)
3 the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.
Onyeisi ha bụ Ahieza na Joash, bụ ụmụ Shema onye Gibea. Ndị ọzọ bụ, Jeziel na Pelet ụmụ Azmavet, Beraka, Jehu onye Anatot,
4 Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;
Ishmaya onye Gibiọn, dimkpa nʼetiti iri mmadụ atọ ndị ahụ, onye bụ onyendu iri mmadụ atọ ahụ, Jeremaya, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad onye Gedera,
5 and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;
Eluzai, Jerimot, Bealia, Shemaraya, na Shefataya onye Haruf;
6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;
Elkena, Ishaya, Azarel, Joeza na Jashobeam, ndị Kora;
7 and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
Juela na Zebadaya ụmụ Jeroham onye Gedoa.
8 Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.
Ndị a bụkwa dike nʼagha sitere nʼebo Gad gbasoo Devid nʼebe e wusiri ike ya dị nʼọzara. Ha bụkwa ndị ọka nʼiji ùbe na ọta alụ agha. Ha dịkwa gara gara dịka ele nʼelu ugwu, ihu ha dịkwa ka ihu ọdụm.
9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Eza, bụ onyeisi ha. Ọbadaya bụ onye na-eso ya, tupu Eliab esoro.
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Onye nke anọ bụ Mishmana. Ndị ọzọ nʼusoro ha bụ, Jeremaya,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
na Atai bụ nke isii, na Eliel bụ nke asaa,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
na Johanan bụ nke asatọ, na Elzabad bụ nke itoolu,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
na Jeremaya onye nke iri, nakwa Makbanai onye nke iri nʼotu.
14 These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.
Ndị a, ndị sitere nʼebo Gad bụ ndịisi agha. Onye na-adịghị ike nʼime ha dị ike dịka narị ndị agha, ma onye dị ike nʼime ha dị ike dịka puku ndị agha.
15 These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.
Ọ bụ ha gafere osimiri Jọdan nʼudu mmiri, mgbe Jọdan tofere akụkụ ya niile, chụsaa ndị niile bi na ndagwurugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
Ndị ọzọ sitekwara nʼebo Benjamin na Juda bịakwute Devid nʼebe ya e wusiri ike.
17 And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
Mgbe ahụ, Devid pụrụ ịga zute ha, sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu bịara nʼudo inyere m aka, ejikeere m ịnabata unu ka unu dịnyere m. Kama ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu bịara ịrara m nye nʼaka ndị iro m, ebe aka m dị ọcha, ka Chineke nna nna anyị hụ ihe dị unu nʼobi kpee unu ikpe.”
18 Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ dakwasịrị Amasai, onyendu iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ, mee ka ọ gwa Devid okwu sị ya, “Anyị bụ ndị gị, Devid! Anyị so gị nʼazụ, gị nwa Jesi! Udo, udo ga-abụ nke gị, udo ga-abụkwa nke ndị na-enyere gị aka, nʼihi na Chineke gị na-enyere gị aka.” Ya mere, Devid nabatara ha mee ha ndịisi agha na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe.
19 Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ebo Manase gbasooro Devid, mgbe ọ gara sonyere ndị Filistia nʼịlụso Sọl ọgụ. Ma ya na ndị agha ya enyereghị ndị Filistia aka, nʼihi na mgbe ndị Filistia gbachara izu, ndị ndu ndị Filistia zilagara ya. Ha kwuru sị, “Isi anyị ka anyị ga-atụfu ma ọ bụrụ na Devid ahapụ anyị nʼọgbọ agha gbakwuru nna ya ukwu bụ Sọl.”
20 And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
Mgbe Devid gara Ziklag, ndị a bụ ndị ikom si nʼebo Manase ndị gbasooro ya: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Maikel, Jozabad, Elihu na Ziletai. Ndị a niile bụ ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha nʼebo Manase.
21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
Ha nyeere Devid aka imegide ndị agha nkwata ahụ, nʼihi na ha niile bụ dike nʼagha, bụrụkwa ndịisi agha.
22 Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.
Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, ọtụtụ ndị ikom na-agbafeta soro Devid, tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọrọ igwe ndị agha, ndị agha nke Chineke.
23 Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:
Ndị a bụ ndị jikeere ibu agha, ndị chịkwa ngwa agha bịakwute Devid na Hebrọn, nʼihi na ha chọrọ ka ọ bịa bụrụ eze ha nʼọnọdụ Sọl, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
Ndị sitere nʼebo Juda, ndị bu ọta na ùbe ha dị puku isii na narị asatọ.
25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;
Ndị Simiọn a maara aha ha nʼibu agha dị puku asaa na otu narị.
26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;
Ndị Livayị dị puku anọ na narị isii.,
27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
tinye Jehoiada, onyendu nʼezinaụlọ Erọn na puku ndị ikom atọ na narị asaa,
28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
na Zadọk, nwokorobịa bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha, onyendu ndịisi agha iri abụọ na abụọ ndị si nʼezinaụlọ ya.
29 and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.
Ụmụ Benjamin, ndị ikwu Sọl, dị puku atọ, nʼihi na nʼoge a, ọtụtụ ha nọnyeere Sọl.
30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
Ụmụ Ifrem dị iri puku abụọ na narị asatọ, ndị dị ike nʼagha, ndị a makwaara aha ha nʼikwu ha.
31 And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.
Site nʼọkara ebo Manase, ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku iri na asatọ ka a họpụtara ịga inyere Devid aka ịbụ eze.
32 Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.
Ụmụ Isaka; narị ndịisi abụọ, na ndị ha na-edu. Ndịisi a bụ ndị nwere nghọta oge ha nọ nʼime ya marakwa ihe Izrel kwesiri ime nʼoge ahụ.
33 Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.
Ụmụ Zebụlọn dị iri puku ise. Ha enweghị obi abụọ ọbụla iso Devid. A zụkwara ha nʼiji ụdị ngwa agha ọbụla na-ebu agha.
34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ndu ụmụ Naftalị dị otu puku, tinyere ndị agha dị puku iri atọ na asaa, ndị ji ùbe na ọta.
35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
Ụmụ Dan dị iri puku abụọ na asatọ, na narị isii. Ha bụkwa ndị agha jikeere ibu agha.
36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
Ụmụ Asha dị iri puku anọ. Ha bụ ndị ibu agha doro nnọọ anya.
37 Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.
Sitekwa nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan, site nʼebo Ruben na Gad, na ọkara ebo Manase bi, ndị agha ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị puku na iri abụọ, ndị ji ụdị ngwa agha ọbụla pụtara soro Devid. Ha bukwa ngwa agha ha pụta.
38 All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.
Ndị a niile bụ ndị agha na-eje ozi nʼusoro ndị ji obi ha pụta. Ha nwekwara mkpebi mgbe ha si ebe ọbụla ha si pụta ịbịa Hebrọn ime Devid eze. Ndị Izrel niile jikwa otu obi pụta ime Devid eze Izrel.
39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
Mgbe ha pụkwutere Devid, ha so ya rie, ṅụọ, abalị atọ. Ọ bụkwa ihe ndị ezinaụlọ ha kwadoro ha ji bịa ka ha riri.
40 Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
Ndị Isaka, na Zebụlọn, na Naftalị si ebe dị anya bute nri. Ịnyịnya ibu, na ịnyịnya kamel, na ịnyịnya muul na ehi ka ha ji bute nri ndị a. Ọ bụkwa nri dị iche iche ka ha butere, dịka ụtụ ọka, na achịcha e ji mkpụrụ fiig mee, na achịcha ndị ọzọ dị iche, na mmanya, na mmanụ, na igwe ehi, na igwe atụrụ. Ha si otu a bute nri ndị a nʼihi na oke ọṅụ jupụtara nʼala Izrel niile.
