1 Chronicles 12
1 And these [are] those coming to David at Ziklag, while shut up because of Saul son of Kish, and they [are] among the mighty ones, helping the battle,
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 armed with bow, right and left handed, with stones, and with arrows, with bows, of the brothers of Saul, 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 head [is] Ahiezer, and Joash, sons of Shemaab the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,
Ame siawo Nunɔlae nye Ahiezer kple Yoas, Semaa tso Gibea ƒe viŋutsuwo. Bubuwoe nye: Yeziel kple Pelet, Azmavet ƒe viwo, Beraka Yehu tso Anatɔt,
4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty one among the thirty, and over the thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite.

7 and Joelah, and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Yoela kple Zebadia, Yeroham, ame siwo tso Gedor ƒe viŋutsuwo.
8 And of the Gadite there have been separated to David, to the fortress, to the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men of the host for battle, setting in array buckler and spear, and their faces [are as] the face of the lion, and as roes on the mountains for speed:
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.
9 Ezer the head, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14 These [are] of the sons of Gad, heads of the host; the least [is] one of one hundred, and the greatest, of one thousand;
Gad ƒe vi siawoe nye aʋafiawo; ame alafa ɖeka mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo dometɔ gblɔetɔ nu o eye wo dometɔ sesẽtɔ ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe ame akpe nu.
15 these [are] they who have passed over the Jordan in the first month—and it is full over all its banks—and cause all [those in] the valley to flee to the east and to 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.
16 And [some] from the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold,
Aʋawɔla bubuwo tso Benyamin ƒe viwo kple Yuda ƒe viwo dome ame siwo hã va de David dzi le eƒe mɔ sesẽ la me.
17 and David goes out before them, and answers and says to them, “If you have come to me for peace, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to my adversaries—without violence in my hands—the God of our fathers sees and reproves.”
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 And the Spirit has clothed Amasai, head of the captains: “To you, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse—peace! Peace to you, and peace to your helper, for your God has helped you”; and David receives them, and puts them among the heads of the troop.
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 [some] from Manasseh have defected to David in his coming with the Philistines against Israel to battle—and they did not help them, for by counsel the princes of the Philistines sent him away, saying, “He defects with our heads to his master Saul.”
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 In his going to Ziglag there have fallen to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillthai, heads of the thousands who [are] 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 have helped with David over the troop, for all of them [are] mighty men of valor, and they are 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, they come to David to help him, until it is a great camp, like a camp 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 head, of the armed men of the host; they have come to David at Hebron to turn around the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the mouth of YHWH.
Ame geɖewo va kpe ɖe David ŋu le Hebron eye wodi vevie be David naɖu fia ɖe Saul teƒe abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe do ŋgɔ ene. Ame siawoe nye:
24 The sons of Judah, carrying buckler and spear, [are] six thousand and eight hundred, armed ones of the host.

28 and Zadok, a young man, a mighty man of valor, and of the house of his father [are] twenty-two heads.

29 And of the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, [are] three thousand, and until now their greater part are keeping the charge of the house of Saul.
Ame akpe etɔ̃ tso Benyamin ƒe viwo, ame siwo me Saul dzɔ tso la dome. Benyamin ƒe vi geɖewo ganɔ Saul yome va se ɖe ɣe ma ɣi.
30 And of the sons of Ephraim [are] twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, men of renown, according to the house of their fathers.
Aʋawɔla sesẽ akpe blaeve alafa enyi tso Efraim ƒe viwo dome; wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe xɔ ŋkɔ le eƒe hlɔ̃ me.
31 And of the half of the tribe of Manasseh [are] eighteen thousand, who have been defined by name, to come to cause David to reign.
Woɖo ame akpe wuienyi ɖa tso Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã me be woakpe ɖe David ŋu wòazu fia.
32 And of the sons of Issachar, having understanding for the times, to know what Israel should do; their heads [are] two hundred, and all their brothers [are] at their command.
Kplɔla alafa eve kple woƒe ƒometɔwo tso Isaka ƒe viwo dome. Ame siawo nya nu si tututu dze be Israel nawɔ.
33 Of Zebulun, going forth to the host, arranging battle with all instruments of battle, [are] fifty thousand, and keeping rank without a double heart.

36 And of Asher, going forth to the host, to arrange battle, [are] forty thousand.
Ame akpe blaene tso Aser ƒe viwo dome. Wohe wo nyuie eye wonɔ klalo na aʋawɔwɔ.
37 And from beyond the Jordan, of the Reubenite, and of the Gadite, and of the half of the tribe of Manasseh, with all instruments of the host for battle, [are] one hundred and twenty thousand.
Ame akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ, afi si Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã nɔ. Woawo tsɔ aʋawɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi ɖe asi.
38 All these [are] men of war, keeping rank—they have come to Hebron with a perfect heart, to cause David to reign over all Israel, and also all the rest of Israel [are] of one heart, to cause David to reign,
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 they are there, with David, three days, eating and drinking, for their brothers have prepared for them.
Woɖu nu eye wono nu kple David ŋkeke etɔ̃ elabena wodzra ɖo na woƒe vava.
40 And also those near to them—to Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali—are bringing in bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen—food of fine flour, fig-cakes and grape-cakes, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep, in abundance, for joy [is] in Israel.
