1 Chronicles 11
1 Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
Mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu yorol David in acn Hebron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut mwet srahm na pwaye ac kut ikwa sefanna.
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
In pacl somla, finne Saul pa tokosra lasr ah, kom pa kol mwet Israel ke mweun, ac LEUM GOD lom el wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah leum fin mwet Israel ac karingin kut oana sie mwet shepherd.”
3 So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
Ouinge mwet kol nukewa lun Israel elos tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron. David el orala sie wulela na ku yorolos, ac elos mosrwella tuh elan tokosra lun Israel, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela kac in kas lal Samuel.
4 David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
Tokosra David ac mwet Israel nukewa elos utyak nu Jerusalem ac mweuni siti sac. In pacl se ingo inen siti sac pa Jebus, ac mwet na pwaye lun an we — mwet Jebus — elos srakna muta we.
5 Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
Mwet Jebus elos tuh fahk nu sel David mu el ac tiana ku in utyak nu in siti sac. Tusruktu David el sruokya pot ku lalos Zion, na mutawauk in pangpang acn sac “Siti sel David.”
6 [What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
David el fahk, “Mwet se emeet su uniya sie mwet Jebus, el ac fah captain lun un mwet mweun!” Na Joab, su nina kial pa Zeruiah, el pa fahsryak emeet in mweun, ouinge el pa captain lun un mwet mweun lal David.
7 [After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
Ke sripen David el som muta ke pot sac, acn sac tufah pangpang “Siti sel David.”
8 David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
David el sifil musaela siti sac, mutawauk ke acn se ma koaneyukla layen kutulap in eol soko we. Ac Joab el aksasuye acn lula ke siti sac.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
David el kapkapak ac kui, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El welul.
10 Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
Inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David pa takinyukla inge. U se inge, weang mwet Israel nukewa saya, elos kasrel David tuh elan tokosrala in oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela, ac elos oru tuh tokosrai lal in ku na.
11 This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Mwet se meet an pa Jashobeam, ke sou lulap lal Hachmon. El mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Mwet se akluo sin mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh.
13 [One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
El welul David mweun lain mwet Philistia ke mweun se in Pas Dammim. El tuh muta in ima in barley se ke mwet Israel elos mutawauk in kaing.
14 but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
Eleazar ac mwet lal elos tiana kaing, a elos tu na infulwen ima sac ac mweun lain mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla na yohk se nu sel.
15 One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
Sie len ah, tolu sin mwet mweun pwengpeng tolngoul som nu ke acn se David el muta we sisken sie eot ma apkuran nu ke Luf Adullam. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia mutangan aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
Ke pacl se ingan, David el muta ke sie tohktok ma kuhlusyukyak, ac sie pac un mwet Philistia elos sruokya acn Bethlehem ac muta we.
17 [One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem!”
18 So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utia kof ke lufin kof sac ac usla nu yorol David. Tusruktu el tiana nimya, a el okoala nu infohk uh tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
19 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
El fahk, “Nga koflana nim kof se inge, mweyen ac oana ngan nim srahn mwet su pilesrala moul lalos inge!” Ouinge el srangesr nim. Na pa ingan orekma pulaik lun mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah.
20 Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
Abishai, tamulel lal Joab, el pa mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul in lain mwet tolfoko, ac el onelosi nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
21 So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.
22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac el oru ma watwen pus. Sie pacl ah el uniya mwet mweun na ku luo lun mwet Moab. Oayapa sie len ma yohk snow ah, el tufoki nu in luf se ac uniya lion soko.
23 He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
El oayapa uniya mukul Egypt se — sie mwet yohk pisa ac fit itkosr tafu fulatal, ac el sruokya osra na lulap soko. Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra soko liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.
24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
Pa ingan kutu ma watwen Benaiah el oru, su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.
25 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
El pisrla inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. Na David el sang tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.
