1 Chronicles 12
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,
Iretoañe o niheo amy Davide e Ziklage mb’eo ie mbe nisebaneñe ty amy Saole ana’ i Kiseio; mpiamo fanalolahi’e, mpañolotse an-kotakotakeo.
2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:
Nimpitàm-pale le nahafitoloñe am-pitàn-kavana naho havia nahafipiletse vato naho nahafiririñe ana-pale am-pale, ie rahalahi’ i Saole nte Beniamine.
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.
I Akiezere ty nifehe, le Ioase, ana’ i Semaà nte Gibate; naho Iziele naho i Pelete, ana’ i Azmavete; le i Berakà naho Iehò nte Anatote,
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;
naho Ismaià nte Gibone, fanalolahy amy telopolo rey naho ambone’ i telopoloy; naho Iirmeà naho Iakaziele naho Iokanane naho Iozabade nte Gederà.
5 and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;
Naho i Elozaý naho Ierimote naho i Bealià naho i Semarià naho i Sefatià nte Karofe,
6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;
naho i Elkanà naho Iesià naho i Azarele naho Ioezere naho Iasobeame, nte Korake,
7 and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
naho Ioelà vaho i Zebadià ana’ Ierokame nte Gedore.
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.
Le o nte Gade nivìke mb’ amy Davide am-pipalira’e am-patrambeio, ondaty nahasibeke, ondaty nioke hialy, nahafitam-pikalañe naho lefoñe; aman-daharañe hoe tarehen-diona, ie hoe tsebý an-kaboañe ey te nilay;
9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
i Ezere ty valoha’e naho i Obadià ty faharoe, le i Eliabe ty fahatelo,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
i Mismanà ty fahefatse, Iiremià ty fahalime,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
i Ataý ty fah’ eneñe naho i Eliele ty faha-fito,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Iokanane ty fahavalo naho i Elzabade ty fahasive,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
Iiremià ty faha-folo vaho i Makbanay ty faha folo-raik’ amby.
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.
O ana’ i Gade retoañe le songa mpifehe’ i valobohòkey; ty kede ama’e nañeva zato, ty bey nañeva arivo.
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.
Ie o nitsake Iordaney amy volam-baloha’eio t’ie nandopatse añ’olotse; ie nampivoratsake ze am-bavatane ao iaby, maniñanañe naho mañandrefa.
16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
Naho nimb’amy fipalira’ i Davidey mb’eo ty ila’ o ana’ i Beniamine naho Iehodao;
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.”
niavotse hifanalaka am’ iereo t’i Davide, le tinoi’e ty hoe: Naho am-panintsiñañe hañolotse ahy ty fitotsaha’ areo amako, le hivitrañe ama’ areo ty troko, fa naho mone pok’eo hamalik’ ahy amo rafelahikoo, ie malio tahiñe o tañakoo, le i Andrianañaharen-droaentika ty hivazoho vaho hizaka.
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.
Nivotrak’ amy Amasaý, mpifehe i telopoloy, amy zao i Arofoy: Azo zahay ry Davide, mpiama’o zahay ry ana’ Iisaý. Fañanintsiñe, fañanintsiñe ama’o naho fierañerañañe amo mpañolotse azoo; amy te mañimb’ azo t’i Andrianañahare. Aa le rinambe’ i Davide vaho nanoe’e mpifehem-pirimboñe.
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.”
Nitsake mb’ amy Davide mb’eo ka ty ila’ i Menasè, ie nitraok’ amo nte-Pelistio hifañotakotak’ amy Saole, f’ie tsy nañolotse, amy te tsy nimete’ o mpiaolo nte-Pelistio, ie nisafiry, le nirahe’ iareo añe ami’ty hoe, Hera hitsake mb’amy Saole talè’e mb’eo re rekets’ o añambonen-tikañeo.
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.
Ie nimb’e Tsiklage mb’eo, le nitsake ho mpiama’e boak’ amy Menasè t’i Adnà naho Iozabade naho Iediaele naho i Mikaele naho Iozabade naho Elihò vaho i Tsiletaý, mpifelek’ arivo’ o nte-Menasèo.
21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
Ie ro nañolotse i Davide amo malasoo amy te fonga nifanalolahy nahasibeke vaho nimpifehe amy valobohòkey.
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.
Nivotrak’ amy Davide boak’ andro boak’ andro t’indaty hañolotse aze, ampara’ t’ie ni-valobohòke ra’elahy manahake ty valobohòn’ Añahare.
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:
Zao ty ia’ o ni-reke-pialiañe hialio ty amo mpiaolo’eo, o niheo mb’amy Davide e Kebrone añe, hifotera’ iareo ami’ty fifehea’ i Saole ty amy nafè’ Iehovàio.
24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
Amo ana’ Iehoda mpitàm-pikalañe naho lefoñeo: eneñ’ arivo-tsi-valonjato veka’e hialy.
25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;
Amo ana’ i Simoneo, ondaty maozatse mahasibek’ añ’aly, fito-arivo-tsi-zato.
26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;
Amo ana’ i Levio, efats’arivo-tsi-enen-jato.
27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
Iehoiada ty mpifehe’ o nte-Aharoneo, rekets’ ama’e ty telo-arivo-tsi-fitonjato;
28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
naho i Tsadoke, ajalahy maozatse nahafisoroke vaho añ’ anjomban-droae’e, mpifehe roapolo-ro’ amby.
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.
Amo ana’ i Beniamineo, longo’ i Saole, telo arivo; fa ampara’ te henane, maro am’ iareo ty nanan-dily añ’anjomba’ i Saole ao.
30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
Amo ana’ i Efraimeo: ro’ ale-tsi-valon-jato ty fanalolahy, nanañ’ asy añ’ anjomban-droae’e.
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.
Amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy: rai-ale-tsi-valo-arivo, tinoñon-tahinañe, niheo mb’eo hanao i Davide mpanjaka.
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.
Le amo ana’ Isakareo, ondaty nahafohin-tsà, naharendreke ty toko’e hanoe’ Israele; roanjato ty mpiaolo’ iareo vaho ambane’ ty fandilia’ iareo o longo’e iabio.
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.
Amy Zebolone, o mpionjom-b’añ’ alio, nahimbañe an-kotakotake, nahafitoloñe amy ze karaza-pialiañe, lime-ale nahafitàn-dahatse; tsy aman’ arofo roe.
34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
Le amy Naftalý, mpifehe arivo; nindre am’ iereo reke-pikalañañe naho lefoñe, ty telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo.
35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
Le amo nte-Dane nahafilahatse añ’ alio: roe-ale-tsi-valo-arivo-tsi-enen-jato.
36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
Le amy Asere, o mpionjomb’ añ’ alio, nahafiriritse hiatre-kotakotake, efats-ale.
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.
Le o alafe’ Iordaneio, amo nte-Reobeneo naho amo nte-Gadeo naho amo vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèio, reketse ze atao haraom-pialiañe ho an-kotakotake, rai-hetse-tsi-roe-ale.
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.
Hene niheo mb’e Kebrone mb’eo an-kazavàn’arofo i lahindefoñe nahafitàm-pilaharañe rezay, hanoe’ iereo mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Davide; manahake izay ze hene nte-Israele ila’e, fonga niharo arofo hanao i Davide mpanjaka.
39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
Ie nìndre amy Davide ao telo andro nikama naho nigenoke fa nañalankañe ho a iareo o longo’eo.
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.
Tovo’ izay, o marine iareoo, Isakare naho i Zebolone vaho i Naftalý, ty ninday mahakama am-birike naho rameva naho perède naho añombe, le hena naho ampemba naho debelà naho kirotram-baloboke naho divay naho menake naho añombe vaho añondry tsifotofoto; fa firebehañe ty e Israele ao.
