< 1 Chronicles 12 >

1 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
Bano be basajja abajja eri Dawudi e Zikulagi, gye yali yeekwese Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi, era be bamu ku bamuyamba mu lutalo.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul’s brothers of Benjamin.
Baalina obusaale, era nga balasa bulungi, n’okuvuumuula nga bavuumuula amayinja n’emikono gyabwe egya ddyo n’egya kkono, ate nga balina oluganda ne Sawulo ow’ekika kya Benyamini.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite.
Akiyezeeri ye yali omukulu, muganda we Yowaasi n’amuddirira, bombi nga batabani ba Semaa Omugibeya; Yeziyeri ne Pereti batabani ba Azumavesi; Beraka, ne Yeeku Omwanasoni,
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
ne Isumaya Omugibyoni, omusajja omuzira ku bali amakumi asatu, era omukulu waabwe; ne Yeremiya, ne Yakaziyeri, ne Yokanaani, ne Yozabadi Omugederi;
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
ne Eruzayi, ne Yerimosi, ne Beyaliya, ne Semaliya, ne Sefatiya Omukalufu;
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
ne Erukaana, ne Issiya, ne Azaleri, ne Yowezeeri, ne Yasobeyamu, Abakoola;
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
ne Yowera ne Zebadiya, batabani ba yerokamu ow’e Gedoli.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves to David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes on the mountains;
Abamu ku Bagaadi be yawula ku bannaabwe, ne bagenda eri Dawudi ku kigo kye mu ddungu. Baali basajja b’amaanyi abazira nga balina amafumu n’engabo era nga beetegefu okulwana. Amaaso gaabwe gaali nga ag’empologoma, era nga bawenyuka emisinde ng’empeewo mu nsozi.
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Ezeri ye yali omukulu waabwe, ne Obadiya n’amuddirira, ne Eriyaabu nga ye wookusatu,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
ne Misumanna nga ye wookuna, ne Yeremiya nga ye wookutaano,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
ne Attayi nga ye w’omukaaga, ne Eryeri nga ye w’omusanvu,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
ne Yokanaani nga ye wa munaana, ne Eruzabadi nga ye wa mwenda,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
ne Yeremiya nga ye wa kkumi, ne Makubannayi nga ye wa kkumi n’omu.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
Abagaadi abo baali baduumizi ba ggye, era asembayo mu bukulu ng’aduumira ekibinja eky’abantu lukumi.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
Era abo be basajja abaasomoka omugga Yoludaani, mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, amazzi gaagwo bwe gaabimba ne ganjaala ku ttale ne bagoba abo bonna abaabeeranga mu biwonvu, ebuvanjuba era n’ebugwanjuba.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold to David.
Abamu ku basajja ba Benyamini ne Yuda nabo beegatta ku Dawudi mu kigo kye.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If you be come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you: but if you be come to betray me to my enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
Dawudi n’afuluma okubasisinkana, n’abagamba nti, “Bwe muba muzze gye ndi mu mirembe, okunyamba, ndimwetegefu okubasembeza. Naye obanga muzze okundyamu olukwe eri abalabe bange, ate nga sirina musango, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe akirabe era abanenye.”
18 Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Your are we, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Awo Omwoyo n’aka ku Amasayi, omukulu w’abo amakumi asatu, n’ayogera nti, “Ffe tuli babo, Dawudi! Tuli naawe, Omwana wa Yese! Obuwanguzi, Obuwanguzi gy’oli; era Obuwanguzi bubeere eri abo abakuyamba, kubanga Katonda wo ajja kukubeera.” Awo Dawudi n’abaaniriza era n’abafuula bakungu mu ggye lye.
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 on advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
Abasajja abamu ab’ekika kya Manase ne badda ku ludda lwa Dawudi, bwe yagenda n’Abafirisuuti okutabaala Sawulo newaakubadde nga ye n’abasajja be tebayamba Abafirisuuti kubanga oluvannyuma lw’okwetesaganyaamu, abakungu b’Abafirisuuti baamugoba. Baagamba nti, “Bw’anadda ku ludda lwa mukama we Sawulo, tunaagwa mu katyabaga.”
20 As he went 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.
Dawudi bwe yali ng’agenda e Zikulagi, abasajja ab’ekika kya Manase abaasalawo okumwegattako baali: Aduna, ne Yozabadi, ne Yediyayaeri, ne Mikayiri, ne Yozabadi, ne Eriku, ne Zirresayi, n’abakungu abaakuliranga ebibinja eby’olukumi mu Manase.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.
Baayamba nnyo Dawudi okulwana n’ebibinja bya bayeekera, kubanga bonna baali baserikale bazira, ate nga baduumizi mu ggye lye.
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
Buli lwakyanga nga wabeerawo abasajja abajja okuyamba ate era n’okwegatta ku Dawudi, okutuusa eggye lye bwe lyafuuka eddene, ery’amaanyi.
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
Guno gwe muwendo gw’abasajja abaali beetegekedde olutalo abajja eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, okuggya obwakabaka ku Sawulo okubumuwa, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali:
24 The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
abasajja ba Yuda abaakwatanga engabo n’effumu baali kakaaga mu lunaana abeetegese okulwana;
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
abasajja ba Simyoni, baali kasanvu mu kikumi;
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
abasajja ba Leevi, enkumi nnya mu lukaaga;
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
ng’omwo mwe muli Yekoyaada omukulu w’ennyumba ya Alooni n’abasajja enkumi ssatu mu lusanvu;
28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty and two captains.
ne Zadooki omuvubuka omulwanyi era omuzira, n’abakungu okuva mu nnyumba ye amakumi abiri mu babiri.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for till now the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.
Abalala baali abasajja aba Benyamini, baganda ba Sawulo, nga bali enkumi ssatu, era okutuusa ku lunaku olwo abo baali banyweredde ku ludda lwa Sawulo;
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
abasajja aba Efulayimu, abalwanyi abazira, ng’era batutumufu mu nda zaabwe, baali emitwalo ebiri mu lunaana;
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
abasajja ku kitundu eky’ekika kya Manase, abaayatulwa erinnya okujja okufuula Dawudi kabaka baali omutwalo gumu mu kanaana;
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their commandment.
abasajja aba Isakaali abategeera ebiseera, ne bamanya ebigwanidde Isirayiri baali abakulembeze ebikumi bibiri, n’ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe bonna abaabagobereranga;
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
abasajja aba Zebbulooni, nga baserikale bamanyirivu mu by’entalo, nga balina buli kya kulwanyisa kyonna, abayamba Dawudi n’omutima gumu baali emitwalo etaano;
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
abasajja aba Nafutaali baali abakulu lukumi, n’abasajja abaakwatanga engabo n’amafumu nga bali emitwalo esatu mu kasanvu;
35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
abasajja aba Ddaani baali emitwalo ebiri mu kanaana mu lukaaga;
36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
abasajja aba Aseri, nga baserikale bamanyirivu mu ntalo baali emitwalo ena;
37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
emitala wa Yoludaani, wavaayo abasajja aba Lewubeeni, aba Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, abaalina ebyokulwanyisa ebya buli ngeri, nga bali emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri.
38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, 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.
Abo bonna baali basajja balwanyi abeewaayo mu bitiibwa byabwe. Ne bajja e Kebbulooni okuweereza n’okufuula Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brothers had prepared for them.
Eyo ne bamalayo ennaku ssatu ne Dawudi nga balya, nga banywa, ebyo ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe bye baali babasibiridde.
40 Moreover they that were near them, even to Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
Ate era waaliyo ne baliraanwa baabwe ab’e Isakaali, ne Zebbulooni, ne Nafutaali abaabaleeteranga emmere ku ndogoyi, ne ku ŋŋamira, ne ku nnyumbu ne ku nte, era baalina eŋŋaano nnyingi, ne keeke ez’ettiini, n’ebirimba eby’ezabbibu, n’omwenge, n’amafuta, n’ente n’endiga. Baasanyuka essanyu lingi nnyo nnyini mu Isirayiri.
