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,
Hawa walikuwa wanaume walio kuja kwa Daudi huko Zikilagi, wakati akiwa bado amefukuzwa katika uwepo wa Sauli mwana wa Kishi. Walikuwa miongoni mwa wanajeshi, wasaidizi wake katika mapambano.
2 armed with bow, right and left handed, with stones, and with arrows, with bows, of the brothers of Saul, of Benjamin.
Walikuwa wana upinde na waliweza kutumia mkono wa kuume na wakushoto kurusha mawe na manati na kupiga mishale kutoka kwenye upinde. Walikuwa Wabenjamini, ndugu wa kabila moja na Sauli.

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:
Baadhi ya Wagadi walijiunga na Daudi katika ngome iliyo nyikani. Walikuwa wanaume wapiganaji, waliofundishwa kwa mapambano, walioweza kumudu ngao na mkuki; ambao nyuso zao zilikuwa kali kama za simba. Walikuwa wepesi kwenye milima kama swala.

Wana wa Gadi walikuwa viongozi wa jeshi. Wamwisho aliongoza mia moja, na mkubwa aliongoza elfu moja.
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.
Walikatisha Yordani kwa mwezi wa kwanza, wakati vijito vyake vilipofurika, na kuwafukuza wote wanaoishi katika mabonde, pande zote za mashariki na magharibi.
16 And [some] from the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold,
Baadhi ya wanaume wa Benjamini na Yuda walikuja kwenye ngome kwa Daudi.
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.”
Daudi alienda nje kuwasalimu na kuwahutubia: “kama mmekuja kwa amani kunisaidia, mnaweza kujiunga nami. Lakini kama mmekuja kunisaliti kwa maadui zangu, Ee Mungu wa mababu zetu awaone na kuwakemea, tangu sijafanya kosa.”
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.
Kisha roho ikaja juu ya Amasai, ambaye alikuwa kiongozi wa wale thelathini. Amasai alisema, “Sisi ni wako, Daudi. Sisi tupo upande wako, mwana wa Yesse. na amani iwe juu ya yeyote atakaye kusaidia. Kuwa Mungu wako anakusaidia.” Kisha Daudi akawapokea na kuwafanya wakuu wa watu wake.
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.”
Baadhi kutoka kwa Manase pia wakamwendea Daudi alipokuja na Wafilisti dhidi ya Sauli katika pambano. Lakini hawakuwasaidia Wafilisti kwasababu mabwana wa Wafilisti walishauriana na wakamfukuza Daudi. Walisema, “Atamwendea Bwana wake Sauli na kuhatarisha maisha yetu.”
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;
Alipokwenda kwa Zikilagi, wanaume wa Manase walioungana nae walikuwa Adina, Yozabadi, Yediaeli, Yozabadi, Elihu, na Zilethai, viongozi wa maelfu wa 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,
Walimsaidia Daudi kupigana na kikundi cha wezi, maana walikuwa wanaume wa mapambano. Baadae walikuwa wakuu katika jeshi.
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.
Siku hadi siku, wanaume walikuja kwa Daudi kumsaidia, mpaka wakawa jeshi kubwa, kama jeshi la Mungu.
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.
Hii ni kumbukumbu ya wanajeshi wa vita, walio kuja kwa Daudi Hebroni, kuupindua ufalme wa Sauli kwake, ilikutimiza neno la Yahweh.
