1 Chronicles 12
1 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he kept still close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in the conflict;
Ame siawoe nye aʋawɔla siwo va kpe ɖe David ŋu le Ziklag esi wonyae le Saul, Kis ƒe vi la ƒe ŋkume. Woawoe nye kalẽtɔ siwo kpe ɖe eŋu le aʋawɔwɔ me.
2 armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left with stones and with arrows on the bow; [they were] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin:

8 And of the Gadites, there separated themselves to David in the stronghold in the wilderness mighty men of valour, men fit for the service of war, armed with shield and spear; whose faces were [like] the faces of lions, and who were swift as the gazelles upon the mountains:
Aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖewo siwo tso Gad ƒe viwo dome hã yi David gbɔ le gbedzi. Wowɔa akpoxɔnu kple akplɔ siaa ŋu dɔ nyuie. Woƒe mo le abe dzata tɔ ene eye woɖea abla abe zi ene le towo dzi.

14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it overflows all its banks, and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, toward the east and toward the west.
Woawoe nye ame siwo tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le dzinu gbãtɔ me esi wòɖɔ gbagba eye wonya ame siwo katã nɔ balia me la ɖe du nu. Ɖewo si to ɣedzeƒe eye ɖewo hã si to ɣetoɖoƒe.

17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers see [it] and rebuke [it].
David yi ɖakpe wo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ne mieva le ŋutifafa me be yewoakpe ɖe ŋunye la, ekema mele klalo be mawɔ ɖeka kpli mi ke ne mieva be yewoadem asi na nye futɔwo, le esime nye asiwo mewɔ vɔ̃ aɖeke o la, ekema mía fofowo ƒe Mawu nakpɔe eye wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi.”
18 And the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the captains, [and he said, ] Thine [are we], David, And with thee, thou son of Jesse: Peace, peace be to thee! And peace be to thy helpers! For thy God helps thee. And David received them, and made them chiefs of bands.

19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon deliberation sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul at the peril of our heads.
Ŋutsu aɖewo tso Manase ƒe to la me ame siwo si va de David dzi esi wònɔ Filistitɔwo gbɔ be wòawɔ aʋa kple Saul. (Eya kple eƒe ameawo mekpe ɖe Filistitɔwo ŋu o elabena le aɖaŋudede megbe la, Filistitɔwo ƒe fiawo na wòtrɔ dzo. Wogblɔ be, “Woava tso ta le mía nu nenye be esi yi eƒe aƒetɔ Saul gbɔ.”)
20 As he went away to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
Manase ƒe vi siwo va kpe ɖe David ŋu esi wòyi Ziklag la woe nye: Adna, Yozabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yozabad, Elihu kple Ziletai. Ame siawo katã nye ame akpewo nunɔlawo le Manase.
21 And they helped David in his expeditions; for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
Wokpe ɖe David ŋu wòɖu adzohawo dzi elabena wo katã wonye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔwo eye wonye aʋafiawo le eƒe asrafoha me.
22 For day by day there came [men] to David to help him, until it was a great camp, like the camp of God.
Tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke la, ame geɖewo va kpe ɖe David ŋu va se ɖe esime aʋakɔ gã aɖe va ɖo esi, si le abe Mawu ƒe aʋakɔ ene.
23 And this is the number of the men equipped for military service, who came to David to Hebron, to transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Jehovah.

32 And of the children of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their bidding.

37 And from the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of weapons of war for battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.

38 All of them men of war, keeping rank in battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
Ame siawo katã do aʋawɔwu heyi Hebron kple taɖodzinu ɖeka sia be David nazu Israel fia. Le nyateƒe me la, Israel blibo la nɔ klalo be David naɖu fia.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had prepared for them;
Woɖu nu eye wono nu kple David ŋkeke etɔ̃ elabena wodzra ɖo na woƒe vava.
40 and those too that were near them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen; provisions of meal, fig-cakes and raisin-cakes, and wine and oil, and oxen and sheep, abundantly; for there was joy in Israel.
