< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, —Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.

Kisha Waisraeli wote walikuja Hebroni kwa Daudi na kusema, “Angalia, sisi ni nyama na mifupa 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.

Katika wakati uliopita, Sauli alipoo kuwa mfalme juu yetu, ni wewe uliye ongoza jeshi la Israeli. Yahweh Mungu wako alisema kwako, 'utawachunga watu wangu wa Isaraeli, na utakuwa mtawala wa watu wangu wa Israeli”'.

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.

Kwaiyo wazee wote wa Israeli wakamjia mfalme huko Hebroni, na Daudi akafanya agano nao mbele ya Yahweh. Wakampaka mafuta Daudi kuwa mfalme wa Israeli. Kwa namna hii, neno la Yahweh lilo nenwa na Samweli likawa kweli.

4 Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, —where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.

Daudi na Israeli yote wakaenda Yerusalemu (yani, Yebusi). Sasa Wayebusi, wakazi wa nchi, walikuwa pale.

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.

Wakazi wa yebusi wakamwabia Daudi, “Hautakuja humu.” Lakini Daudi alichukuwa 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 alisema, “Yeyote atakaye washambulia Wayebusi wa kwanza atakuwa mkuu wa jeshi” kwaiyo Yoabu mwana wa Zeruia akashambulia wa kwanza, hivyo akafanywa mkuu wa jeshi.

7 And David dwelt in the citadel, —for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.

Daudi akaanza kuishi katika hiyo ngome. Kwaiyo wakaiita 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.

Akaimarisha mji kutoka Milo na hadi mpaka ukuta unao zunguka. Yoabu akaimairisha mji wote uliyo baki.

9 Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, —and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.

Daudi akawa mkuu na mkuu kwa sababu Yahweh wa Majeshi alikuwa 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 walikuwa viongozi Daudi aliyo kuwa nao, waliyo jionyesha imara katika ufalme wake, pamoja na Israeli, kumfanya mfalme, kutii neno la Yahweh kuhusu Israeli.

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 ni orodha ya wanajeshi shupavu wa Daudi. Yashobeami, mwana wa Mhakimoni, alikuwa mkuu wa kikosi cha thelathini. Aliwaua wanaume mia tatu na mkuki wake katika sehemu moja.

12 And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, —he, was among the three heroes;

Baada ya yeye alikuwa Eleazari mwana wa Dodo, Mahohi, aliyekuwa mmoja wa wanaume watatu hodari.

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;

Alikuwa na Daudi huko Pasidamimu, na pale Wafilisti wakakusanyika pamoja kwa mapambano, ambapo palikuwa na uwanja wa ngano na jeshi liliwakimbia 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.

Walisimama katikati ya uwanja. Wakautetea na kuwakata Wafilisti na Yahweh akawaokoa na 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.

Kisha watatu wa viongozi thelathini wakashuka chini kwenye mwamba wa Daudi, katika pango la Adulamu. Jeshi la Wafilisti walieka kambi katika bonde la Refaim.

16 Now, David, then was in the stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.

Kwa wakati huo Daudi alikuwa katika ngome yake, pangoni, Wafilisti walikita kambi yao Bethilehemu.

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 alikuwa na kiu ya maji na akasema, “Laiti mtu akanipatia maji ya kunywa kutoka kisima kilicho Bethilehemu, kisima kilicho pembeni mwa lango!”

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;

Hawa wanaume hodari watatu wakatoboa kupita jeshi la Wafilisti na kuchota maji kwenye kisima cha Bethilehemu, kisima pembeni mwa lango. Wakachukuwa maji na kumletea Daudi, lakini alikataa kunywa. Badala yake, akamwaga chini kwa Yahweh.

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.

Kisha akasema, “Yahweh, iwe mbali na mimi, kwamba ni yanywe haya maji. Je ninywe damu ya wanaume walio hatarisha maisha yao?” Kwa sababu wameeka maisha ya hatarini, akakataa kunywa. Haya ni mambo wanaume hodari watatu walio fanya.

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 kaka wa Yoabu, alikuwa kiongozi wa watatu. Alitumia mkuki wake dhidi ya watu mia tatu na kuwaua. Ametajwa pamoja na wale 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.

Kati ya wale watatu, yeye alipewa heshima mara mbili na akawa kiongozi wao. Japo hakuwa mmoja wa 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;

Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alikuwa mwanaume mwenye nguvu aliye fanya mambo makuu. Aliua wana wawili wa Arieli wa Moabu. Pia alishuka chini ya shimo na kumuua simba wakati theluji ikianguka.

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.

Alimua hadi Mmisri, mwanaume mwenye mita mbili na theluthi moja. Mmisri alikuwa na mkuki kama gongo la mshonaji, lakini alimfuata chini na fimbo tu. Akakamata mkuki katika mkono wa Mmisri na kumuua na mkuki wake.

24 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alifanya haya matukio, na akatajwa miongoni mwa wale wanaume hodari 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.

Alisifika zaidi ya wale wanajeshi thelathini kwa ujumla, lakini hakuwa pewa hadhi ya wale wanajeshi watatu hodari. Daudi alimueka kiongozi wa walinzi wake.

26 Now, the heroes of the forces, were, —Asahel, brother of Joab, Elhanan, son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;

Wanaume hodari walikuwa Asaheli kaka wa Yoabu, Elhanani mwana wa Dodo wa Bethilehemu,

27 Shammoth, the Harorite, Helez the Paltite;

Shamothi Mherori, Helezi Mpeloni,

28 Ira, son of Ikkesh, the Tekoite, Abiezer, the Anathothite;

Ira mwana wa Ikeshi Mtekoi, Abi Eza Manathothi,

29 Sibbecai, the Hushathite, Ilai, the Ahohite;

Sibekai Mhushathite, Ilai Mahohite,

30 Maharai, the Netophathite, Heled, son of Baanah, the Netophathite;

Maharai Mnetofathi, Heledi mwana wa Baana Mnetofathite,

31 Ithai, son of Ribai, of Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin, —Benaiah, the Pirathonite;

Itai mwana wa Ribai wa Gibea uzao wa Benjamini, Benaia Mpirathoni,
