1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered themselues to Dauid vnto Hebron, saying, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.
Israel ha blibo la va ƒo ƒu ɖe David gbɔ le Hebron eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò ŋutilã kple ʋue míenye.
2 And in time past, euen when Saul was King, thou leddest Israel out and in: and the Lord thy God sayde vnto thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be captaine ouer my people Israel.
Tsã esi Saul nye fia gɔ̃ hã la, wòe nye ame si kplɔ Israel le eƒe aʋawɔwɔ katã me eye Yehowa, wò Mawu, gblɔ na wò be, ‘Wòe akplɔ nye dukɔ, Israel eye wòe ava nye woƒe fia.’”
3 So came all the Elders of Israel to the King to Hebron, and Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord. And they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Samuel.
Esi Israel ƒe dumegãwo va kpe ta le Fia David gbɔ le Hebron la, ebla nu kpli wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume eye wosi ami na David heɖoe fiae ɖe Israel dzi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel ene.
4 And Dauid and all Israel went to Ierusalem, which is Iebus, where were the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
Le esia megbe la, David kple Israel blibo la ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem, du si woyɔna tsã be Yebus la ŋu. Yebusitɔwo nye ame siwo nye anyigba la dzi nɔla gbãtɔwo.
5 And the inhabitants of Iebus said to Dauid, Thou shalt not come in hither. Neuertheles Dauid tooke the towre of Zion, which is the city of Dauid.
Wogblɔ na David be, “Màge ɖe afi sia o.” Ke David kple eƒe amewo ɖu wo dzi eye woxɔ Zion mɔ sesẽ la si woyɔna azɔ be, “David ƒe Du.”
6 And Dauid sayd, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites first, shalbe the chiefe and captaine. So Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah went first vp, and was captaine.
David gblɔ be, “Ame sia ame si atre Yebusitɔwo sisi la, azu aʋafia.” Yoab, Zeruya ƒe viŋutsu dze Yebusitɔwo dzi gbã eye wòzu aʋafia la.
7 And Dauid dwelt in the tower: therefore they called it the citie of Dauid.
David nɔ mɔ la me eya ta woyɔa du la ƒe akpa ma be, David ƒe Du.
8 And he built the citie on euery side, from Millo euen round about, and Ioab repaired the rest of the citie.
Ekeke du la ɖe edzi ƒo xlã mɔ la le esime Yoab gbugbɔ Yerusalem ƒe akpa mamlɛa tu.
9 And Dauid prospered, and grewe: for the Lord of hostes was with him.
David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la nɔ kplii.
10 These also are the chiefe of the valiant men that were with Dauid, and ioyned their force with him in his kingdome with al Israel, to make him King ouer Israel, according to the worde of the Lord.
David ƒe aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔtɔwo, ame siwo do ŋusẽ Israel ƒe kplɔlawo be woatsɔ David aɖo fiae abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ be ava eme ene la le ame etɔ̃.
11 And this is the nomber of the valiant men whome Dauid had, Iashobeam the sonne of Hachmoni, the chiefe among thirtie: he lift vp his speare against three hundreth, whom he slewe at one time.
Wo dometɔ gbãtɔe nye Yasobeam, ŋutsu aɖe si tso Hakmon. Eyae nye Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo, ame siwo nye aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ etɔ̃awo le David ƒe aʋakɔ la me la kplɔla. Ewu ame alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ kple eƒe akplɔ le aʋakpekpe ɖeka me.
12 And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo the Ahohite, which was one of the three valiant men.
Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dometɔ eveliae nye Eleazar, Dodai ƒe vi, ame si nye Ahohitɔ.
13 He was with Dauid at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistims were gathered together to battel: and there was a parcell of ground full of barley, and the people fled before the Philistims.
Enɔ David ŋu le aʋa si Israelviwo wɔ kple Filistitɔwo le Pas Damim la me. Lu le agble aɖe me fũ le afi ma. Ke Israel ƒe aʋawɔla bubuawo katã si le Filistitɔwo nu.
14 And they stood in the middes of the field, and saued it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue a great victorie.
Ke wotɔ ɖe agble la titina, hexɔe eye wowu Filistitɔwo. Yehowa na woɖu dzi gã aɖe.
15 And three of the thirtie captaines went to a rocke to Dauid, into the caue of Adullam. And the armie of the Philistims camped in the valley of Rephaim.
Le ɣe bubu ɣi la, David ƒe aʋafia blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ etɔ̃ yi David gbɔ le esime wòbe ɖe agado aɖe me le Adulam. Filistitɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Refaim balime.
16 And when Dauid was in the hold, the Philistims garison was at Beth-lehem.
David nɔ mɔ la me eye Filistitɔwo ɖe aʋakɔ ɖo Betlehem le ɣe ma ɣi.
17 And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem that is at the gate.
David gblɔ kple didi be, “Tsikɔ le wunyem vevie. Oo, ne ame aɖe aku tsi tso vudo si le Betlehem ƒe agbonu la me vɛ nam la anyo ŋutɔ.”
18 Then these three brake thorowe the hoste of the Philistims, and drewe water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke it and brought it to Dauid: but Dauid would not drinke of it, but powred it for an oblation to the Lord,
Ke ame etɔ̃awo to Filistitɔwo dome, ku tsi tso vudo si te ɖe Betlehem ƒe agbo ŋu me yi na David. Ke David gbe meno tsi la o, ke boŋ etrɔe kɔ ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume.
19 And said, Let not my God suffer me to do this: should I drinke the blood of these mens liues? for they haue brought it with the ieopardie of their liues: therefore he would not drinke it: these things did these three mightie men.
Egblɔ be, “Mawu nana nu sia wɔwɔ nate ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye. Ɖe mano ŋutsu siawo, ame siwo de woƒe agbe ke la ƒe ʋua?” Esi wode woƒe agbe xaxa me be woaku tsi la vɛ nɛ ta la, David menoe o.
20 And Abishai the brother of Ioab, he was chiefe of the three, and he lift vp his speare against three hundreth, and slew them, and had the name among the three.
Abisai, Yoab nɔvi nye amegã na ame etɔ̃awo. Etsɔ eƒe akplɔ wu futɔ alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ ale wòxɔ ŋkɔ abe ame etɔ̃awo ene.
21 Among the three he was more honourable then the two, and he was their captaine: but he attained not vnto the first three.
Eyae nye tatɔ kple ame xɔŋkɔ le Ŋutsu Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dome eye wòzu woƒe kplɔla togbɔ be womebui ɖe wo dome o hã.
22 Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada (the sonne of a valiant man) which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, he slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also and slewe a lion in the middes of a pit in time of snowe.
Benaya Yehoiada ƒe vi, ame si fofo nye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖe tso Kabzeel la, wu ame dzɔtsu xɔŋkɔ eve siwo nɔ Moab nyigba dzi. Emegbe la, egawu dzata le do aɖe me gbe si gbe sno dza.
23 And he slewe an Egyptian, a man of great stature, euen fiue cubites long, and in the Egyptians hand was a speare like a weauers beame: and he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.
Eye wòwu Egiptetɔ aɖe, ame si ƒe kɔkɔme anɔ mita eve kple afã. Togbɔ be Egiptetɔ la lé akplɔ si tri abe abaladoti ene ɖe asi hã la, Benaya lũ ɖe edzi kple kpo, dui le esi eye wòtsɔ Egiptetɔ la ŋutɔ ƒe akplɔ wui.
24 These things did Benaiah ye sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.
Nu siawoe Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi wɔ. Eya hã xɔ ŋkɔ abe ame sesẽ etɔ̃awo ene.
25 Behold, he was honourable among thirtie, but he attained not vnto the first three. And Dauid made him of his counsell.
Wobunɛ wu ame xɔŋkɔ Blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gake womedee ame Etɔ̃awo dome o. Ke David tsɔe ɖo eŋudzɔlawo nu.
