1 Chronicles 12
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,
Laba-ke yilabo abeza kuDavida eZikilagi, lapho esavalelwe ngenxa kaSawuli indodana kaKishi; njalo babephakathi kwamaqhawe, abasizi bempi.
2 Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin.
Behlomile ngamadandili, besebenzisa isandla sokunene lesokhohlo ngamatshe, langemitshoko ngedandili; babengababafowabo bakaSawuli koBhenjamini.
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.
Inhloko yayinguAhiyezeri, loJowashi, amadodana kaShemaha umGibeya; loJeziyeli loPeleti amadodana kaAzimavethi, loBeraka, loJehu umAnathothi,
4 And Samaias of Gabaon, the stoutest amongst the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremias, and Jeheziel, and Johanan, and Jezabad of Gaderoth;

7 And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
loJowela, loZebhadiya, amadodana kaJehoramu weGedori.
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.
LakwabakoGadi bazehlukanisela kuDavida enqabeni enkangala, amaqhawe alamandla, amadoda ebutho empi, ephatha isihlangu esikhulu lomkhonto, obuso bawo babuyibuso bezilwane, enjengemiziki ezintabeni ngesiqubu.
9 Ezer the chief, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,
UEzeri wayeyinhloko, uObhadiya owesibili, uEliyabi owesithathu,
10 Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth.

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.
Laba babengabamadodana akoGadi, izinhloko zebutho; omunye wabancinyane wayephethe ikhulu, lomkhulu wayephethe inkulungwane.
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.
Laba yibo abachapha iJordani ngenyanga yokuqala lapho yayigcwele iphuphuma inkumbi zonke zayo, baxotsha bonke ababesezigodini ngempumalanga langentshonalanga.
16 And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.
Basebefika bevela ebantwaneni bakoBhenjamini labakoJuda enqabeni kuDavida.
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.
UDavida wasephuma ukubahlangabeza, waphendula wathi kibo: Uba lisiza kimi ngokuthula ukungisiza, ngilenhliziyo ehlangene lani; kodwa uba kuyikunginikela ngenkohliso ezitheni zami, kungelabubi ezandleni zami, uNkulunkulu wabobaba kakubone, ajezise.
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.
UMoya wasesehlela kuAmasayi inhloko yezinduna, wasesithi: Singabakho, Davida, silawe, ndodana kaJese! Ukuthula, ukuthula kube kuwe, lokuthula kube kubasizi bakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusiza! UDavida wasebemukela, wabenza induna zeviyo.
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.
Abavela koManase bahlamukela kuDavida ekufikeni kwakhe lamaFilisti emelene loSawuli empini. Kodwa kababasizanga, ngoba ababusi bamaFilisti bamxotsha ngecebo besithi: Ngamakhanda ethu uzahlamukela enkosini yakhe uSawuli.
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.
Ekuyeni kwakhe eZikilagi kwabalekela kuye abavela koManase: OAdina loJozabadi loJediyayeli loMikhayeli loJozabadi loElihu loZilethayi, inhloko zezinkulungwane ababengabakoManase.
21 These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.
Bona basebesiza kanye loDavida bemelene leviyo elihlaselayo, ngoba bonke babengamaqhawe alamandla, bezinduna ebuthweni.
22 Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.
Ngoba ngesikhathi insuku ngensuku beza kuDavida ukumnceda baze babe libutho elikhulu njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
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.
Lala ngamanani ezinhloko ezazihlomele impi; zeza kuDavida eHebroni ukuphendulela umbuso kaSawuli kuye, ngokomlomo weNkosi.

39 And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
Njalo baba lapho loDavida insuku ezintathu besidla benatha, ngoba abafowabo babebalungisele.
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.
