1 Now these are they that came to David to Siceleg, while he yet fled from Saul the son of Cia, and they were most valiant and excellent warriors,
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 Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of 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:
3 The chief was Ahiezer, and Joas, the sons of Samaa of Gabaath, and Jaziel, and Phallet the sons of Azmoth, and Beracha, and Jehu an Anathothite.

7 And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
na Joela, na Zebadia, ariũ a Jerohamu kuuma Gedori.
8 From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roebucks 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, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,

na Jeremia aarĩ wa ikũmi, na Makabanai aarĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over 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 they who passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is used to how over its banks: and they put to flight all that dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward 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 And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.
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, and said: If you are come peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands, let the God of our fathers see, and judge.
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 But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.
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 And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return 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 So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.
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 These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made 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 Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.
Mũthenya o mũthenya andũ nĩmookaga gũteithia Daudi, o nginya akĩgĩa na mbũtũ nene, o ta mbũtũ ya Ngai.
23 And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to 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 well appointed to fight, 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.
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.
39 And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
Andũ acio maikarire kũu na Daudi mĩthenya ĩtatũ makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, nĩgũkorwo andũ a nyũmba ciao nĩmaheanĩte irio nĩ ũndũ wao.
40 Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought leaves on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.
