1 Chronicles 12
1 David went to Ziklag [town] to escape from [King] Saul. While he was there, many warriors came and joined him, and they helped him when he fought battles.
Da: ibidi da hina bagade Solo amoba: le, hobeale asili, Sigela: ge sogega esalu. Dadi gagui dunu amo da musa: gegesu ganodini Da: ibidi fidi, ilia da Da: ibidima madelai.
2 They carried bows [and arrows]. They were able to shoot arrows and to sling stones. They could use either their right arms or their left arms to do that. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
Ilia da Bediamini fi dunu. Solo amolawane da Bediamini fi dunu galu. Ilia da dadiga gala: su amola lobo ele galu amoga ga: musa: dadiga gala: su dawa: i.
3 Their leader was Ahiezer. Next in command was Joash. They were both sons of Shemaah from Gibeah [city]. [These are the names of some of those warriors: ] Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu from Anathoth [town];
Ilima ouligisu dunu da Ahaisa amola Youa: sie (elea eda da Gibia fi dunu Sima: ia). Amo dadi gagui dunu ilia dio da Yisele amola Bilede (elea eda da A: sama: ifede), Belaga, Yihiu (A: nadode fi dunu), Isiama: ia (e da Gibione fi dunu, noga: idafa dadi gagui dunu.

4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
8 Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert. They were brave warriors who were trained for fighting battles and able to use shields and spears well. They [SYN] were as fierce as [SIM, MTY] lions, and they could run as fast as [HYP, SIM] deer/gazelles on the hills/mountains.
Da: ibidi ea dadi gagui wa: i da hafoga: i soge gagili sali diasua esaloba, Ga: de fi gegesu noga: le dawa: i dunu da ema madelai. Ilia da medenegini dadawa: su da: igene ga: su amola dadi gagui dunu. Ilia nimi da laione wa: me gesenesu odagi agoai ba: i, amola dia ea fonomei agoai.
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Ilia da mogodigili aliligi dialebe ba: i da Isa, Oubadaia, Ilia: be, Misima: na, Yelemaia, A:da: i, Ilaiele, Youha: inane, Elesa: iba: de, Yelemaia amola Magabanai.
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
14 Those men from the tribe of Gad were all army officers. Some of them commanded 1,000 soldiers, and some of them commanded 100 soldiers.
Amo Ga: de fi dunu mogili da bisilua dadi gagui ouligisu dunu. Ilia da dadi gagui dunu 1,000 agoane ouligisu. Mogili da bisilua bagia dadi gagui ouligisu dunu. Ilia da dadi gagui dunu 100 agoane ouligisu.
15 They crossed [to the west side of] the Jordan [River] during March, [at the time of the year] when the river was flooded. They chased from there all the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
Ode afaega, oubi age amoga, (amo oubiga, Yodane Hano da bagade heda: le bi fananu) ilia da hano degei. Ilia da dunu huluane amo da fago amo da Yodane Hano gusudili amola guma: dini amogai fifi lasu dunu, amo huluane sefasi.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Eso afaega Bediamini amola Yuda sosogo fi mogi da Da: ibidi ea esalebe gagili sali diasuga asi.
17 David went out [of the cave] to meet them and said to them, “If you have come peacefully to help me, I am eager to have you join with me. But if you have come to enable my enemies to capture me, even though I [SYN] have not done anything to harm you, I hope/wish that the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/belonged to) will see it and condemn/punish you.”
Da: ibidi da ili ba: la asili, ilima amane sia: i, “Dili da na fidimusa: maha galea, hahawane misini, ninima madelama. Na da dilima hame se nabasisu. Be dilia da na ha laima na hohonomusa: misi galea, ninia aowalalia Gode da amo hou dawa: mu. Amola E da dilima se iasu imunu.”
18 Then [God’s] Spirit came upon Amasai, who was another leader of the thirty [greatest warriors], and he said, “David, we want to be with you; you who are the son of Jesse, we will join you. We know that things will go very well [DOU] for you and for those who are with you, because your God is helping you.”
Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da dunu afae ea dio Amasa: iai (e fa: no da “Gasa Bagade Dunu 30” amo ouligisu), ema aligila sa: i. E amane wele sia: i, “Da: ibidi! Yesi egefe! Nini da dimagai! Di amola di fidisu dunu da didili hamomu! Gode da dimagai esala!” Da: ibidi da ili yosia: ne, e dadi gagui wa: i amo ganodini ili bisilua hamoma: ne ilegei.
19 So David welcomed those men, and he appointed them to be leaders of his soldiers. Some men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David when he went with the soldiers of Philistia to fight against Saul’s [army]. But David and his men did not really help the army of Philistia. After the leaders of Philistia talked [about David and his soldiers], they sent David away. They said, “If David joins his master Saul again, we will all be killed {his army will kill all of us}!”
Da: ibidi da Filisidini dunu gilisili, hina bagade Solo ema gegemusa: , mogodigili ahoanoba, Ma: na: se fi dunu mogili da Da: ibidima madelai. Be Da: ibidi da Filisidini dunu hame fidi. Bai Filisidini dunu da Da: ibidi da ili Soloma hohonomu dawa: sa: besa: le, ilia da e bu Sigela: ge moilai bai bagadega asunasi.
20 When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
Da: ibidi da buhagilaloba, Ma: na: se fi dunu da ema madelai ilia dio da A: dana, Yosaba: de, Yidaia: le, Maigele, Yosaba: de, Ilaihu amola Silidai. Musa: , ilia huluane afae afae da Ma: na: se soge ganodini dadi gagui dunu 1,000 agoane ouligisu.
21 They were all brave soldiers, and they helped David to fight against the groups of men who roamed throughout the country, robbing people. So those men became commanders in David’s army.
Ilia da Da: ibidi ea dadi gagui dunuma ouligisu hawa: hamosu. Bai ili huluane da medenegini dadawa: su dadi gagui dunu galu. Fa: no, ili da Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i amo ganodini ouligisu hou hamonanu.
22 Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
Gadenene eso huluane, dunu eno bagohame da Da: ibidi ea dadi gagui wa: i ilima madelasu. Amaiba: le, ea dadi gagui wa: i da hedolowane bagadedafa ba: i.
23 These are the numbers of soldiers who were ready for battle who joined David at Hebron [city]. They came to help him to become the king of Israel to replace Saul, as Yahweh had promised would happen.

24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.
26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
27 Jehoiada, who was a leader descended from Aaron, was in that group of descendants of Levi, and there were 3,700 men with him.
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
29 There were 3,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who were Saul’s relatives. Most of them had previously wanted one of Saul’s descendants to be the king.
30 There were 20,800 men from the tribe of Ephraim who were all brave warriors and trained for fighting battles and famous in their own clans.
31 There were 18,000 men from the half of the tribe of Manasseh [that lived west of the Jordan River]. They were all chosen to go and help David become the king.
32 There were 200 men who were leaders from the tribe of Issachar, along with their relatives. Those leaders always knew what the Israelis should do, and they knew the right time to do it.
33 There were 55,000 men from the tribe of Zebulun. They were all experienced warriors and knew how to use all kinds of weapons well. They were completely loyal to David.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.
36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
37 There were also 120,000 soldiers from the area east of the Jordan [River who joined David]. They were from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They had all kinds of weapons.
38 All those men were soldiers who volunteered to be in David’s army. They came to Hebron wanting very much to enable David to be the king of all of the Israeli people.
Amo dadi gagui dunu huluane da Da: ibidi amo Isala: ili fi huluane ilia hina bagade hamoma: ne, dafawane dawa: i galu. Ilia da gegemusa: momagele, Hibalone moilaiga misi. Amola Isala: ili dunu eno huluane da asigi dawa: su afadafa hamone, Da: ibidi hina bagade hamoma: ne dawa: i.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Ilia da Hibalone moilaiga doaga: le, Da: ibidima gilisili eso udiana lolo nabe hamoi. Ilia da ha: i manu amo ilia fi dunu da ilima ima: ne momagei, amo hahawane mai.
40 Also, their fellow Israelis came from as far away as the area where the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali lived, bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought a lot of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, [olive] oil, cattle and sheep. And throughout Israel, the people were very joyful.
Ilia sedaga esalu fi dunu (gafi amo Isaga, Sebiulane amola Na: fadalai) amola gadenene fi dunu da dougi, ga: mele, miule amola bulamagau bagohame oule misi.
