< 1 Chronicles 12 >

1 The following is a list of the men who joined David when he was at Ziklag, still hiding from Saul, son of Kish. They were some of the leading warriors who fought on David's side.
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 They were all skilled archers, and could shoot arrows or slingshots with their right or their left hands. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe 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 Ahiezer was their leader, then Joash; the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
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 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, (a strong warrior among the Thirty, and leader over the Thirty); Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;
naho Ismaià nte Gibone, fanalolahy amy telopolo rey naho ambone’ i telopoloy; naho Iirmeà naho Iakaziele naho Iokanane naho Iozabade nte Gede­rà.

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
naho Ioelà vaho i Zebadià ana’ Ierokame nte Gedore.
8 Some warriors from the tribe of Gad went over to David's side when he was at the stronghold in the desert. They were strong and experienced warriors, battle-hardened, experts in the use of shields and spears. Their faces looked as fierce as lions, and they ran as fast as gazelles in 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 the was the leader, Obadiah (second), Eliab (third),
i Ezere ty valoha’e naho i Obadià ty faharoe, le i Eliabe ty fahatelo,
10 Mishmannah (fourth), Jeremiah (fifth),
i Mismanà ty fahefatse, Iiremià ty fahalime,
11 Attai (sixth), Eliel (seventh),
i Ataý ty fah’ eneñe naho i Eliele ty faha-fito,
12 Johanan (eighth), Elzabad (ninth),
Iokanane ty fahavalo naho i Elzabade ty fahasive,
13 Jeremiah (tenth), Machbannai (eleventh).
Iiremià ty faha-folo vaho i Makbanay ty faha folo-raik’ amby.
14 These warriors from Gad were army officers. The least able of them was in charge of 100 men; the best was in charge of 1,000.
O ana’ i Gade retoañe le songa mpifehe’ i valobohòkey; ty kede ama’e nañeva zato, ty bey nañeva arivo.
15 These were ones who crossed the Jordan River in the first month of the year when it overflows its banks. They chased out all the people living in the valley, both to the east 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 Some others from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah also came to join David at the stronghold.
Naho nimb’amy fipalira’ i Davidey mb’eo ty ila’ o ana’ i Beniamine naho Iehodao;
17 David went out to meet them and told them, “If you've come in peace to help me, we can be friends. But if you've come to betray me to my enemies, even though I've done no wrong, then may the God of our fathers see what you're doing and condemn you.”
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 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty. “We are yours, David, and we are with you, son of Jesse! May peace, prosperity, and success be yours and those who help you, for God is the one who is helping you.” So David allowed them to join him, and put them in charge of his bands of raiders.
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 Others came over to David's side from the tribe of Manasseh and joined him when he went with Philistines to attack Saul. However, the Philistine rulers eventually decided to send them away, saying to themselves, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts us and goes over to his master 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 The following is a list of the men from Manasseh who went over to David's side as he returned to Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, 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 They helped David against raiders for they were all strong and experienced warriors and commanders in the army.
Ie ro nañolotse i Davide amo malasoo amy te fonga nifanalolahy nahasibeke vaho nimpifehe amy valobohòkey.
22 Men arrived daily to help David until he had a large army, 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 This is a list of the numbers of armed warriors who came and joined David in Hebron to turn over Saul's kingdom to him, as the Lord had said.
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 From the tribe of Judah, 6,800 warriors carrying shields and spears.

Amo ana’ i Levio, efats’arivo-tsi-enen-jato.
27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, and with him 3,700,
Iehoiada ty mpifehe’ o nte-Aharoneo, rekets’ ama’e ty telo-arivo-tsi-fitonjato;
28 and Zadok, a strong young warrior, with 22 members of his family, all officers.
naho i Tsadoke, ajalahy maoza­tse nahafisoroke vaho añ’ anjomban-droae’e, mpifehe roapolo-ro’ amby.
29 From the tribe of Benjamin, from among Saul's relatives, 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul up until this time.
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 From the tribe of Ephraim, 20,800 strong warriors, each highly regarded in his own clan.
Amo ana’ i Efraimeo: ro’ ale-tsi-valon-jato ty fanalolahy, nanañ’ asy añ’ anjomban-droae’e.
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh, 18,000 men were designated by name to come and make David king.
Amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy: rai-ale-tsi-valo-arivo, tinoñon-tahinañe, niheo mb’eo hanao i Davide mpanjaka.
32 From the tribe of Issachar came leaders who knew and could understand the signs of the times and what Israel should do—a total of 200 leaders of the tribe together with their relatives.
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 From the tribe of Zebulun, 50,000 warriors. They were fully armed and battle-ready, and totally dedicated.

34 From the tribe of Naphtali, 1,000 officers and 37,000 warriors carrying shields and spears.

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 came to Hebron dressed for battle, completely committed to making David king. All of Israel agreed that David should become 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 They stayed three days there, eating and drinking together, for their relatives had provided them with supplies.
Ie nìndre amy Davide ao telo andro nikama naho nigenoke fa nañalankañe ho a iareo o longo’eo.
40 Their neighbors, even as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, arrived bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They had plenty of flour, fig cakes, bunches of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, and sheep, for Israel was so happy.
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.
