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.
Ame siawoe nye aʋawɔla siwo va kpe ɖe David ŋu le Ziklag esi wonyae le Saul, Kis ƒe vi la ƒe ŋkume. Woawoe nye kalẽtɔ siwo kpe ɖe eŋu le aʋawɔwɔ me.
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 brethren of Benjamin.
Wo katã lé aŋutrɔwo ɖe asi, wonye aŋutrɔdala kple akafodala nyuiwo eye wowɔa mia kple ɖusi siaa ŋu dɔ sɔsɔe. Wo katã wotso Benyamin ƒe to la me abe Saul ke ene.
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.

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto 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 upon the mountains;
Aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖewo siwo tso Gad ƒe viwo dome hã yi David gbɔ le gbedzi. Wowɔa akpoxɔnu kple akplɔ siaa ŋu dɔ nyuie. Woƒe mo le abe dzata tɔ ene eye woɖea abla abe zi ene le towo dzi.

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.

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.
Woawoe nye ame siwo tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le dzinu gbãtɔ me esi wòɖɔ gbagba eye wonya ame siwo katã nɔ balia me la ɖe du nu. Ɖewo si to ɣedzeƒe eye ɖewo hã si to ɣetoɖoƒe.

17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If all of you be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if all of you be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
David yi ɖakpe wo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ne mieva le ŋutifafa me be yewoakpe ɖe ŋunye la, ekema mele klalo be mawɔ ɖeka kpli mi ke ne mieva be yewoadem asi na nye futɔwo, le esime nye asiwo mewɔ vɔ̃ aɖeke o la, ekema mía fofowo ƒe Mawu nakpɔe eye wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi.”
18 Then the spirit came upon 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 unto you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Tete Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ɖiɖi ɖe Amasai, Ame Blaetɔ̃awo ƒe tatɔ dzi eye wògblɔ be, “Oo David, tɔwòwoe míenye! Oo Yese viŋutsu, míeli kpli wò! Ŋutifafa, ŋutifafa na wò eye ŋutifafa na ame siwo kpena ɖe ŋuwò, elabena wò Mawu la akpe ɖe ŋuwo.” Ale David xɔ wo eye wòtsɔ wo ɖo eƒe adzohawo nu.
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 upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
Ŋutsu aɖewo tso Manase ƒe to la me ame siwo si va de David dzi esi wònɔ Filistitɔwo gbɔ be wòawɔ aʋa kple Saul. (Eya kple eƒe ameawo mekpe ɖe Filistitɔwo ŋu o elabena le aɖaŋudede megbe la, Filistitɔwo ƒe fiawo na wòtrɔ dzo. Wogblɔ be, “Woava tso ta le mía nu nenye be esi yi eƒe aƒetɔ Saul gbɔ.”)
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.
Manase ƒe vi siwo va kpe ɖe David ŋu esi wòyi Ziklag la woe nye: Adna, Yozabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yozabad, Elihu kple Ziletai. Ame siawo katã nye ame akpewo nunɔlawo le Manase.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
Wokpe ɖe David ŋu wòɖu adzohawo dzi elabena wo katã wonye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔwo eye wonye aʋafiawo le eƒe asrafoha me.
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.
Tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke la, ame geɖewo va kpe ɖe David ŋu va se ɖe esime aʋakɔ gã aɖe va ɖo esi, si le abe Mawu ƒe aʋakɔ ene.
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.

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.
Ame siawo katã do aʋawɔwu heyi Hebron kple taɖodzinu ɖeka sia be David nazu Israel fia. Le nyateƒe me la, Israel blibo la nɔ klalo be David naɖu fia.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and food, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
