1 Chronicles 11
1 Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, —Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.
Israeli yote walimjia Daudi kwa pamoja huko Hebroni wakamwambia, “Sisi ni nyama yako na damu yako.
2 Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel, —and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.
Zamani, wakati Sauli alikuwa mfalme, wewe ndiwe uliyeiongoza Israeli vitani, naye Bwana Mungu wako alikuambia, ‘Wewe utawachunga watu wangu Israeli, na utakuwa mtawala wao.’”
3 Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.
Wazee wote wa Israeli walipokuwa wamewasili kwa Mfalme Daudi huko Hebroni, alifanya mapatano nao huko Hebroni mbele za Bwana, nao wakamtia Daudi mafuta awe mfalme wa Israeli, sawasawa na Bwana alivyoahidi kupitia kwa Samweli.
4 Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, —where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
Daudi na Waisraeli wote wakaenda Yerusalemu (ndio Yebusi). Nao Wayebusi walioishi humo
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in hither, —But David captured the citadel of Zion, the same, is the city of David.
wakamwambia Daudi, “Wewe hutaingia humu.” Hata hivyo, Daudi akaiteka ngome ya Sayuni, Mji wa Daudi.
6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, first, shall become a chief, and a ruler, —So then Joab son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became a chief.
Daudi alikuwa amesema, “Yeyote aongozaye mashambulizi dhidi ya Wayebusi, atakuwa jemadari mkuu.” Yoabu mwana wa Seruya akawa wa kwanza kukwea, naye akawa mkuu.
7 And David dwelt in the citadel, —for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.
Daudi akafanya makao yake kwenye ngome, hivyo ukaitwa Mji wa Daudi.
8 And he built the city round about, from Millo even as far as the circuit, —but, Joab, suffered the remainder of the city to live.
Akajenga mji pande zote, kuanzia kwenye mito hadi kwenye ukuta kuzunguka, wakati huo huo Yoabu akajenga sehemu zingine zilizobaki za Yerusalemu.
9 Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, —and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.
Daudi akazidi kuwa na nguvu zaidi na zaidi, kwa sababu Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote alikuwa pamoja naye.
10 Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, —according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel.
Hawa ndio waliokuwa wakuu wa mashujaa wa Daudi: wao pamoja na Israeli wote wakauimarisha ufalme wake ili kuenea katika nchi yote, kama Bwana alivyoahidi.
11 And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, —Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred—slain at one time.
Hii ndio orodha ya mashujaa wa Daudi: Yashobeamu, Mhakmoni, alikuwa mkuu wa maafisa; yeye aliinua mkuki wake dhidi ya watu 300, ambao aliwaua katika pambano moja.
12 And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, —he, was among the three heroes;
Aliyefuata alikuwa Eleazari, mwana wa Dodai, Mwahohi, mmojawapo wa wale mashujaa watatu.
13 he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, —and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;
Huyo alikuwa pamoja na Daudi huko Pas-Damimu, wakati Wafilisti walikusanyika huko kwa ajili ya vita. Huko ambapo kulikuwa na shamba lililokuwa limejaa shayiri, vikosi vya Israeli vikawakimbia Wafilisti.
14 so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.
Lakini Eleazari na Daudi wakasimama imara katikati ya lile shamba, nao wakalishindania na wakawaua Wafilisti. Naye Bwana akawapa ushindi mkubwa.
15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, —a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.
Wakuu watatu miongoni mwa wale thelathini, walimwendea Daudi katika mwamba huko kwenye pango la Adulamu, wakati kikundi cha Wafilisti kilikuwa kimepiga kambi katika Bonde la Warefai.
16 Now, David, then was in the stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.
Wakati huo Daudi alikuwa katika ngome, na kambi ya Wafilisti ilikuwa huko Bethlehemu.
17 And David longed, and said—Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?
Daudi akatamani maji, akasema, “Laiti mtu angenipatia maji ya kunywa kutoka kisima kilichoko karibu na lango la Bethlehemu!”
18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;
Kwa hivyo wale watatu, wakapita katikati ya safu za Wafilisti, wakachota maji kutoka kwa kisima kilicho karibu na lango la Bethlehemu, wakamletea Daudi. Lakini yeye akakataa kuyanywa. Badala yake, aliyamimina mbele za Bwana.
19 and said—Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.
Akasema, “Mungu apishie mbali kwamba nifanye hivi! Je kweli, niinywe damu ya watu hawa waliohatarisha maisha yao?” Kwa sababu walihatarisha maisha yao kuyaleta yale maji, Daudi hakukubali kuyanywa. Huo ndio uliokuwa ujasiri wa wale mashujaa watatu.
20 And, Abishai brother of Joab—he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred—who were slain, —and so, he, had a name among three.
Abishai, ndugu yake Yoabu ndiye alikuwa kiongozi wa hao Watatu. Aliinua mkuki wake dhidi ya watu 300, ambao aliwaua, kwa hiyo naye akawa na sifa kama hao Watatu.
21 Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain, —though, unto the [first] three, did he not attain.
Alitunukiwa heshima maradufu ya wale Watatu, akawa jemadari wao, ingawa hakuhesabiwa miongoni mwao.
22 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, hero of many a deed, from Kabziel—he, smote the two [sons] of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, in time of snow;
Benaya, mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa mpiganaji hodari kutoka Kabseeli ambaye alifanya mambo makubwa ya ujasiri. Aliwaua mashujaa wawili waliokuwa hodari kuliko wote wa Moabu. Pia alishuka shimoni kulipokuwa na theluji na kumuua simba.
23 he, also smote an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear like a weaver’s beam, so he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his spear.
Alimuua Mmisri aliyekuwa na urefu kama dhiraa tano. Ingawa Mmisri alikuwa na mkuki kama mti wa mfumaji mkononi mwake, Benaya alimwendea na rungu. Akamnyangʼanya Mmisri mkuki wake na kumuua nao.
24 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.
Haya yalikuwa mambo ya ushujaa ya Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada; naye pia alikuwa maarufu kama wale mashujaa watatu.
25 Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the [first] three, did he not attain, —howbeit David set him over his council.
Yeye aliheshimiwa zaidi ya wale Thelathini, lakini hakujumuishwa miongoni mwa wale Watatu: Daudi akamweka kuwa kiongozi wa walinzi wake.
