1 Chronicles 12

1 Now these, are they who came unto David, to Ziklag, he yet being shut up, because of Saul son of Kish, —and, they, were among the heroes, helpers in the war;

Bano be basajja abajja eri Dawudi e Zikulagi, gye yali yeekwese Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi, era be bamu ku bamuyamba mu lutalo.

2 armed with the bow, using right hand or left with stones, and with arrows in the bow, —of the brethren of Saul, out of Benjamin:

Baalina obusaale, era nga balasa bulungi, n’okuvuumuula nga bavuumuula amayinja n’emikono gyabwe egya ddyo n’egya kkono, ate nga balina oluganda ne Sawulo ow’ekika kya Benyamini.

3 the chief, Ahiezer, and Joash, sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, —and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite;

Akiyezeeri ye yali omukulu, muganda we Yowaasi n’amuddirira, bombi nga batabani ba Semaa Omugibeya; Yeziyeri ne Pereti batabani ba Azumavesi; Beraka, ne Yeeku Omwanasoni,

4 and Ishmaiah, the Gibeonite, a hero among the thirty, and over the thirty, —and Jeremiah and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, the Gederathite;

ne Isumaya Omugibyoni, omusajja omuzira ku bali amakumi asatu, era omukulu waabwe; ne Yeremiya, ne Yakaziyeri, ne Yokanaani, ne Yozabadi Omugederi;

5 Eluzai and Jerimoth and Bealiah and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphite;

ne Eruzayi, ne Yerimosi, ne Beyaliya, ne Semaliya, ne Sefatiya Omukalufu;

6 Elkanah and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

ne Erukaana, ne Issiya, ne Azaleri, ne Yowezeeri, ne Yasobeyamu, Abakoola;

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, of Gedor.

ne Yowera ne Zebadiya, batabani ba yerokamu ow’e Gedoli.

8 And, of the Gadites, there separated themselves unto David, to the stronghold towards the desert, heroes of valour, men of war, for battle, men that could handle shield and spear, —and, faces of lions, were their faces, and, like gazelles upon the mountains, were they, for swiftness:

Abamu ku Bagaadi be yawula ku bannaabwe, ne bagenda eri Dawudi ku kigo kye mu ddungu. Baali basajja b’amaanyi abazira nga balina amafumu n’engabo era nga beetegefu okulwana. Amaaso gaabwe gaali nga ag’empologoma, era nga bawenyuka emisinde ng’empeewo mu nsozi.

9 Ezer, the chief, Obadiah, the second, —Eliab, the third;

Ezeri ye yali omukulu waabwe, ne Obadiya n’amuddirira, ne Eriyaabu nga ye wookusatu,

10 Mashmannah, the fourth, Jeremiah, the fifth;

ne Misumanna nga ye wookuna, ne Yeremiya nga ye wookutaano,

11 Attai, the sixth, Eliel the seventh;

ne Attayi nga ye w’omukaaga, ne Eryeri nga ye w’omusanvu,

12 Johanan, the eighth, Elzabad, the ninth;

ne Yokanaani nga ye wa munaana, ne Eruzabadi nga ye wa mwenda,

13 Jeremiah, the tenth, Machbannai, the eleventh.

ne Yeremiya nga ye wa kkumi, ne Makubannayi nga ye wa kkumi n’omu.

14 These, were of the sons of Gad, chiefs of the host, —one to a hundred, the least, and, the greatest, to a thousand.

Abagaadi abo baali baduumizi ba ggye, era asembayo mu bukulu ng’aduumira ekibinja eky’abantu lukumi.

15 These, are they who passed over the Jordan, in the first month, when, it, was full, over all its banks, —and they put to flight all them of the vales, to the east and to the west.

Era abo be basajja abaasomoka omugga Yoludaani, mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, amazzi gaagwo bwe gaabimba ne ganjaala ku ttale ne bagoba abo bonna abaabeeranga mu biwonvu, ebuvanjuba era n’ebugwanjuba.

16 And there came, of the sons of Benjamin, and Judah, as far as the stronghold, unto David.

Abamu ku basajja ba Benyamini ne Yuda nabo beegatta ku Dawudi mu kigo kye.

17 And David went forth to meet them, and responded, and said to them, If, peaceably, ye are come unto me, to help me, I shall have towards you, a heart for unity, —but, if to betray me to mine adversaries, there being no violence in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and rebuke!

Dawudi n’afuluma okubasisinkana, n’abagamba nti, “Bwe muba muzze gye ndi mu mirembe, okunyamba, ndimwetegefu okubasembeza. Naye obanga muzze okundyamu olukwe eri abalabe bange, ate nga sirina musango, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe akirabe era abanenye.”

18 Then, the spirit, clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, Thine, O David, Yea, with, thee, O son of Jesse! Prosperity, prosperity to thee, And prosperity to thy helpers, For thy God, hath helped thee: So David accepted them, and set them among the chiefs of the band.

Awo Omwoyo n’aka ku Amasayi, omukulu w’abo amakumi asatu, n’ayogera nti, “Ffe tuli babo, Dawudi! Tuli naawe, Omwana wa Yese! Obuwanguzi, Obuwanguzi gy’oli; era Obuwanguzi bubeere eri abo abakuyamba, kubanga Katonda wo ajja kukubeera.” Awo Dawudi n’abaaniriza era n’abafuula bakungu mu ggye lye.

19 And, of Manasseh, there fell away unto David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they helped them not, —for the lords of the Philistines advisedly sent him away, saying, At the price of our heads, he might fall away to his master, Saul.

Abasajja abamu ab’ekika kya Manase ne badda ku ludda lwa Dawudi, bwe yagenda n’Abafirisuuti okutabaala Sawulo newaakubadde nga ye n’abasajja be tebayamba Abafirisuuti kubanga oluvannyuma lw’okwetesaganyaamu, abakungu b’Abafirisuuti baamugoba. Baagamba nti, “Bw’anadda ku ludda lwa mukama we Sawulo, tunaagwa mu katyabaga.”

20 When he went into Ziklag, there fell away unto him, of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad, and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad, and Elihu and Zillethai, —chiefs of the thousands that pertained to Manasseh;

Dawudi bwe yali ng’agenda e Zikulagi, abasajja ab’ekika kya Manase abaasalawo okumwegattako baali: Aduna, ne Yozabadi, ne Yediyayaeri, ne Mikayiri, ne Yozabadi, ne Eriku, ne Zirresayi, n’abakungu abaakuliranga ebibinja eby’olukumi mu Manase.

21 and, they, helped with David, against the [marauding] band, for, heroes of valour, were they all, —and they became captains in the host;

Baayamba nnyo Dawudi okulwana n’ebibinja bya bayeekera, kubanga bonna baali baserikale bazira, ate nga baduumizi mu ggye lye.

22 for, from day to day, there came unto David, to help him, —until it was a great camp, like a camp of God.

Buli lwakyanga nga wabeerawo abasajja abajja okuyamba ate era n’okwegatta ku Dawudi, okutuusa eggye lye bwe lyafuuka eddene, ery’amaanyi.

23 And, these, are the numbers of the chiefs armed for war, they came unto David, to Hebron, —to turn round the kingdom of Saul unto him, according to the bidding of Yahweh:

Guno gwe muwendo gw’abasajja abaali beetegekedde olutalo abajja eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, okuggya obwakabaka ku Sawulo okubumuwa, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali:

24 Sons of Judah, bearers of shield and spear, six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war.

abasajja ba Yuda abaakwatanga engabo n’effumu baali kakaaga mu lunaana abeetegese okulwana;

25 Of sons of Simeon, heroes of valour for the war, seven thousand, and one hundred.

abasajja ba Simyoni, baali kasanvu mu kikumi;

26 Of the sons of Levi, four thousand, and six hundred.

abasajja ba Leevi, enkumi nnya mu lukaaga;

27 And Jehoiada, was chief ruler for Aaron, —and, with him, three thousand and seven hundred;

ng’omwo mwe muli Yekoyaada omukulu w’ennyumba ya Alooni n’abasajja enkumi ssatu mu lusanvu;

28 and Zadok, a young man, a hero of valour, —and the house of his father, captains twenty and two.

ne Zadooki omuvubuka omulwanyi era omuzira, n’abakungu okuva mu nnyumba ye amakumi abiri mu babiri.

29 And, of the sons of Benjamin, brethren of Saul, three thousand, —and, hitherto, the greater part of them, had been keeping the charge of the house of Saul.

Abalala baali abasajja aba Benyamini, baganda ba Sawulo, nga bali enkumi ssatu, era okutuusa ku lunaku olwo abo baali banyweredde ku ludda lwa Sawulo;

30 And, of the sons of Ephraim, twenty thousand, and eight hundred, —heroes of valour, men of renown, to their ancestral house.

abasajja aba Efulayimu, abalwanyi abazira, ng’era batutumufu mu nda zaabwe, baali emitwalo ebiri mu lunaana;

31 And, of the half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, who were distinguished by name, coming in to make David king.

abasajja ku kitundu eky’ekika kya Manase, abaayatulwa erinnya okujja okufuula Dawudi kabaka baali omutwalo gumu mu kanaana;

32 And, of the sons of Issachar, such as were of good understanding of the times, to know what Israel, should do, their chiefs, were two hundred, and, all their brethren, were at their bidding.

abasajja aba Isakaali abategeera ebiseera, ne bamanya ebigwanidde Isirayiri baali abakulembeze ebikumi bibiri, n’ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe bonna abaabagobereranga;

33 Of Zebulun—such as were ready to go forth in host, expert for battle with all weapons of war, fifty thousand, —and for setting in array, not of two minds!

abasajja aba Zebbulooni, nga baserikale bamanyirivu mu by’entalo, nga balina buli kya kulwanyisa kyonna, abayamba Dawudi n’omutima gumu baali emitwalo etaano;

34 And, of Naphtali, a thousand captains, —and, with them, with shield and spear, thirty-seven thousand.

abasajja aba Nafutaali baali abakulu lukumi, n’abasajja abaakwatanga engabo n’amafumu nga bali emitwalo esatu mu kasanvu;

35 And, of the Danite, expert for war, twenty-eight thousand, and six hundred.

abasajja aba Ddaani baali emitwalo ebiri mu kanaana mu lukaaga;

36 And, of Asher, such as were ready to go forth in host to set in array for battle, forty thousand.

abasajja aba Aseri, nga baserikale bamanyirivu mu ntalo baali emitwalo ena;

37 And, from over the Jordan, of the Reubenites and Gadites and half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of weapons of war for battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.

emitala wa Yoludaani, wavaayo abasajja aba Lewubeeni, aba Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, abaalina ebyokulwanyisa ebya buli ngeri, nga bali emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri.

38 All these, being men of war, expert in setting in battle-array, with a perfect heart, came to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel, —moreover also, all the rest of Israel, were of one heart to make David king.

Abo bonna baali basajja balwanyi abeewaayo mu bitiibwa byabwe. Ne bajja e Kebbulooni okuweereza n’okufuula Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.

39 So they were there, with David, three days, eating and drinking, —for their brethren had made preparation for them.

Eyo ne bamalayo ennaku ssatu ne Dawudi nga balya, nga banywa, ebyo ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe bye baali babasibiridde.

40 Moreover also, they who were near of kin unto them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing bread, on asses and on camels and on mules and on oxen, meal-food, cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep—in abundance, —for there was joy Israel.

Ate era waaliyo ne baliraanwa baabwe ab’e Isakaali, ne Zebbulooni, ne Nafutaali abaabaleeteranga emmere ku ndogoyi, ne ku ŋŋamira, ne ku nnyumbu ne ku nte, era baalina eŋŋaano nnyingi, ne keeke ez’ettiini, n’ebirimba eby’ezabbibu, n’omwenge, n’amafuta, n’ente n’endiga. Baasanyuka essanyu lingi nnyo nnyini mu Isirayiri.
