1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩcookanĩrĩra harĩ Daudi kũu Hebironi, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthiimo na thakame yaku.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule over my people Israel.'"
Ihinda rĩrĩa rĩhĩtũkĩte, o na Saũlũ arĩ o mũthamaki, wee nĩwe ũratongoragia Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ ciao. Nake Jehova Ngai waku agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwe ũkaarĩithia andũ akwa Isiraeli, na nĩũgatuĩka mwathi wao.’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri othe a Isiraeli magĩthiĩ Hebironi kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi, nake Daudi akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nao mbere ya Jehova o kũu Hebironi, nao magĩitĩrĩria Daudi maguta mũtwe atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eranĩire na kanua ga Samũeli.
4 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
Daudi hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu, o kũu gwetagwo Jebusi. Nao Ajebusi arĩa maatũũraga kũu
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.
makĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩtoonya gũkũ.” No rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩagĩtunyanire gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya gĩa Zayuni, Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
6 David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
Daudi oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũgũtongoria mbaara ya kũhũũra Ajebusi nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũnene wa thigari ciothe.” Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩwe waambire kwambata, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wa thigari.
7 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.
Daudi agĩgĩtũũra gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na rũthingo rwa hinya, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩgĩtwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
8 He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
Nake agĩaka itũũra inene rĩthiũrũrũkĩirie gĩikaro kĩu, kuuma benji-inĩ nginya rũthingo-inĩ rũrĩa rwakĩrigiicĩirie, nake Joabu agĩcookereria mĩena ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya itũũra rĩu inene.
9 David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
Daudi agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na ũhoti mũingĩ, tondũ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aarĩ hamwe nake.
10 Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
Aya nĩo maarĩ anene a andũ arĩa njamba a Daudi, o ene hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe, nĩmatirĩrĩire ũthamaki wake na hinya nĩguo ũtheereme bũrũri wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire.
11 This is the number of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. And he wielded his spear against eight hundred and killed them at one time.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ acio maarĩ njamba a Daudi: Jashobeamu ũrĩa Mũhakimoni nake aarĩ mũtongoria wa anene; nĩwe woire itimũ rĩake ahũũrane na andũ 300, nake akĩmooraga mbaara-inĩ ĩmwe.
12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the Three warriors.
Mũnini wake eetagwo Eleazaru mũrũ wa Dodo ũrĩa Mũahohi, ũmwe wa andũ atatũ arĩa maarĩ njamba.
13 He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
Nake aarĩ hamwe na Daudi kũu Pasi-Damimu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afilisti moonganĩte marũe nao. Maarĩ handũ haarĩ mũgũnda waiyũire cairi, nacio thigari ikĩũrĩra Afilisti.
14 And he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
No-o nĩmaregeire gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Makĩũgitĩra, na makĩũraga Afilisti, nake Jehova akĩmahe ũhootani mũnene.
15 And three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
Anene atatũ a acio mĩrongo ĩtatũ, nĩmaikũrũkire magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi ihiga-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩarĩ ngurunga-inĩ ya Adulamu, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbũtũ ya Afilisti yaambĩte hema Kĩanda kĩa Refaimu.
16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩrũmu nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.
17 And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."
Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”
18 The Three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ magĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ ka ita rĩa Afilisti, magĩtaha maaĩ gĩthima-inĩ kĩu kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu, na makĩmatwarĩra Daudi. No Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua; akĩmaita mbere ya Jehova.
19 and said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arogiria njĩke ũguo! No ngĩnyue thakame ya andũ aya mathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ?” Tondũ nĩmathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ nĩguo mamarehe-rĩ, Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua. Maũndũ ta macio nĩmo meekagwo nĩ njamba icio ithatũ.
20 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa acio Atatũ. Nake akĩoya itimũ rĩake, agĩtharĩkĩra andũ magana matatũ, akĩmooraga, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa igweta o ta acio Atatũ.
21 He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.
Nĩatĩĩkire mũno gũkĩra acio angĩ Atatũ na agĩtuĩka mwathi wao o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada aarĩ mũrũi njamba wa kuuma Kabizeeli, ũrĩa wekire maũndũ manene ma ũcamba. Nĩooragire njamba nene igĩrĩ cia ita cia Moabi. Ningĩ nĩatoonyire irima mũthenya warĩ na tharunji, na akĩũraga mũrũũthi.
23 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
Na nĩooragire Mũmisiri warĩ wa ũraihu wa buti mũgwanja na nuthu. O na gũtuĩka Mũmisiri ũcio nĩanyiitĩte itimũ rĩaiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora, Benaia akĩmũtharĩkĩra na njũgũma. Akĩhuria itimũ kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũũraga na itimũ rĩu rĩake.
24 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ ma ũcamba marĩa mekirwo nĩ Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada. O nake aarĩ igweta o ta andũ arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba.
25 Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.
