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.
Nifanontoñe amy Davide e Kebrone ao t’Israele iaby, nanao ty hoe: Intoy, toe taola’o naho nofo’o zahay,
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.’”
Ie taolo, ndra te nimpanjaka t’i Saole, le ihe ty niaolo vaho nampimpoly Israele; le nanao ty hoe ama’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o. Ho fahana’o ondatiko Israeleo naho ho mpifehe ondatiko Israeleo.
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.
Aa le hene niheo mb’amy mpanjakay e Kebrone mb’eo o mpiaolo’ Israeleo vaho nifañina’ amy Davide e Kebrone ao añatrefa’ Iehovà; le noriza’ iareo ho mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Davide, ty amy tsara’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Samoeley.
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.
Nimb’e Ierosalaime—i atao Iebosiy—t’i Davide naho Israele iaby, ie tao o nte-Iebosio, o mpimoneñe amy taneio.
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’.
Le hoe o nte-Iebosio amy Davide: Tsy himoak’ atoy irehe. Fe rinambe’ i Davide i rova fatratsey; i atao Rova i Davidey.
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.
Ie nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe: Ze mandafa ty nte-Iebosy valoha’e ty ho mpiaolo naho mpifehe. Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià ty nionjoñe valoha’e vaho nanoem-pifeleke.
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’.
Nimoneñe amy fipalirañey t’i Davide, izay ty nitokaveñ’ aze ty hoe, Rova’ i Davide.
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.
Namboatse añariari’ i rovay re, boak’ amy Milòy naho o mañohok’azeo vaho namboare’ Ioabe ty ila’ i rovay.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Niraorao erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà i Màroy.
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.
Irezao o nimpiaolo’ o fanalolahy mpiamy Davideo, nimpirekets’ ama’e an-kafatrarañe amy fifehea’eio, miharo am’ Israele iaby, nanao aze mpanjaka’ Israele ty amy tsara’ Iehovàio.
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.
Inao ty famoliliañe o fanalolahy nimpiamy Davideo: Iasobeame, ana’ i nte-Kakmoniý mpifehe i telopoloy; nonjone’e ami’ty telon-jato i lefo’ey vaho zinevo’e iaby amy andro zay.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Nanonjohy aze t’i Eleazare ana’ i Dodò nte-Akoake, raik’ amy fanalolahy telo rey.
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,
Nindre amy Davide e Pase-Damime ao re, ie nifanontoñe hañotakotake eo o nte-Pelistio, añ’ila’ ty teteke lifotse vare-hordea; naho fa nilay añatrefa’ o nte-Pelistio ondatio,
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.
le nijohañe añivo’ i tetekey iereo, nañaro aze, le zinevo’ iareo o nte-Pelistio; vaho rinomba’ Iehovà an-drombake jabajaba.
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.
Teo te nizotso mb’amy vato mb’amy Davidey mb’eo, an-dakato’ i Adolame ao, ie nitobe am-bavatane’ i Refaime ao o nte-Pelistio, ty telo amo mpiaolo telopoloo.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
Ie tam-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide, le te Betlekheme ao o mpirimbo-nte-Pelistio.
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!”
Niazo ty hasijy t’i Davide, nanao ty hoe: Ehe te eo ty hanjotso rano amako boak’ am-bovom-Betlekheme marine’ i lalambeiy.
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.
Niboroboñafe’ i telo rey i toben-te Pilistiy, le nitarike rano boak’ am-bovo’ i Betlekheme ao marine’ i lalambeiy; nendese’ iereo vaho nazotso’ iareo amy Davide; fe tsy nimete nikama t’i Davide, te mone nadoa’e añatrefa’ Iehovà,
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.
nanao ty hoe: Sondo’e aman’ Añahareko te hanoeko o raha zao; hinomeko hao ty lio’ ondaty namoe’ay retiañe? Fa am-pamoeam-piay i nañandesa’ iareoy. Aa le tsy nimete ninon-dre. Ie o nanoe’ i fanalolahy telo reio.
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.
I Abisaý, rahalahi’ Ioabe, ty nimpiaolo’ i telopolo rey; ie nañonjon-defoñe ami’ty telon-jato naho zinama’e vaho nibangoeñe añivo’ i telo rey.
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.
Ie ty nanañ’ asy amy telo antsaranga faha-roe y vaho nanoeñe mpiaolo’ iareo; fe tsy nitaka’e i telo valoha’e rey.
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.
I Benià, ana’ Iehoiadà, ana’ ty fanalolahy nte-Kabtseele, mpitoloñe an-kafatrarañe, nandafa nte-Moabe roe an-tron-diona, le nizotso añivon-koboñe añ’ androm-panàla namono ty liona ao.
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.
Zinevo’e t’i nte-Mitsraime, ondaty abo, lime kiho ty haabo’e, am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey ty lefo’e hoe bodam-panenoñe; kobaiñe ty tama’e te nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo naho tinava’e am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey i lefo’ey vaho vinono’e amy lefo’ey.
24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
Izay o nanoe’ i Benaià, ana’ Iehoiadào, le nibangoe’ i fanalolahy telo rey i tahina’ey.
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.
Ie ty nanañ’ asy amy telopoloy, f’ie tsy nahatakatse i telo valoha’e rey, ro najado’ i Davide amo mpañaro azeo.
