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.
Und diese sind es, welche zu David nach Ziklag kamen, als er sich noch vor Saul, dem Sohne Kis', verborgen hielt; auch sie waren unter den Helden, die ihm im Streite halfen,
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.
ausgerüstet mit dem Bogen und geübt, mit der Rechten und mit der Linken Steine zu schleudern und Pfeile mit dem Bogen abzuschießen: Von den Brüdern Sauls, aus Benjamin:
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];
das Haupt Achieser, und Joas, die Söhne Haschemaas, des Gibeathiters; und Jesiel und Peleth, die Söhne Asmaweths; und Beraka, und Jehu, der Anathothiter;
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
und Jischmaja, der Gibeoniter, ein Held unter den Dreißig und über die Dreißig; und Jeremia und Jachasiel und Jochanan, und Josabad, der Gederathiter;
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Elusai und Jerimoth und Bealja und Schemarja, und Schephatja, der Haruphiter;
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
Elkana und Jischschija und Asarel und Joeser und Jaschobam, die Korhiter;
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
und Joela und Sebadja, die Söhne Jerochams, von Gedor. -
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.
Und von den Gaditern sonderten sich ab zu David, nach der Bergfeste in die Wüste, tapfere Helden, Männer des Heeres zum Kriege, mit Schild und Lanze gerüstet, deren Angesichter wie Löwenangesichter, und die den Gazellen auf den Bergen gleich waren an Schnelle:
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Eser, das Haupt; Obadja, der zweite; Eliab, der dritte;
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Mischmanna, der vierte; Jeremia, der fünfte;
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Attai, der sechste; Eliel, der siebte;
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Jochanan, der achte; Elsabad, der neunte;
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Jeremia, der zehnte; Makbannai, der elfte.
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.
Diese, von den Söhnen Gads, waren Häupter des Heeres; der Kleinste konnte es mit hundert, und der Größte mit tausend aufnehmen.
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.
Diese sind es, welche über den Jordan gingen, im ersten Monat, wenn er alle seine Ufer überflutet, und alle Bewohner der Niederungen, gegen Osten und gegen Westen, in die Flucht jagten.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Und es kamen einige von den Kindern Benjamin und Juda nach der Bergfeste zu David.
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.”
Und David ging hinaus, ihnen entgegen, und er hob an und sprach zu ihnen: Wenn ihr zum Frieden zu mir gekommen seid, um mir zu helfen, so wird mein Herz sich mit euch vereinigen; wenn aber, um mich an meine Feinde zu verraten, ohne daß Unrecht in meiner Hand ist, so möge der Gott unserer Väter es sehen und strafen!
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.”
Da kam der Geist über Amasai, das Haupt der Anführer: Dein sind wir, David, und mit dir, Sohn Isais! Friede, Friede dir und Friede deinen Helfern! denn dein Gott hilft dir! Und David nahm sie auf und setzte sie zu Häuptern von Scharen.
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}!”
Und von Manasse liefen einige zu David über, als er mit den Philistern wider Saul in den Streit zog; aber sie halfen ihnen nicht; denn nachdem sie Rat gehalten hatten, entließen ihn die Fürsten der Philister, indem sie sprachen: Auf Gefahr unserer Köpfe könnte er zu seinem Herrn Saul überlaufen!
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].
Als er nach Ziklag zog, liefen von Manasse zu ihm über: Adna und Josabad und Jediael und Michael und Josabad und Elihu und Zillethai, Häupter der Tausende von Manasse.
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.
Und sie halfen David wider die Streifschar, denn tapfere Helden waren sie alle; und sie wurden Oberste im Heere.
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).
Denn es kamen von Tag zu Tage zu David, um ihm zu helfen, bis es ein großes Heerlager wurde, wie ein Heerlager Gottes.
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.
Und dies sind die Zahlen der Köpfe der zum Heere Gerüsteten, welche zu David nach Hebron kamen, um ihm das Königreich Sauls zuzuwenden nach dem Befehle Jehovas:
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Die Kinder Juda, welche Schild und Lanze trugen, sechstausend achthundert zum Heere Gerüstete.
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.
Von den Kindern Simeon: streitbare Männer zum Heere, siebentausend einhundert.
26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
Von den Kindern Levi: viertausend sechshundert;
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.
und Jojada, der Fürst von Aaron, und mit ihm dreitausend siebenhundert;
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
und Zadok, ein Jüngling, ein tapferer Held, und das Haus seines Vaters: zweiundzwanzig Oberste.
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.
Und von den Kindern Benjamin, den Brüdern Sauls: dreitausend; aber der größte Teil von ihnen hielt bis dahin treu zum Hause Sauls.
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.
Und von den Kindern Ephraim: zwanzigtausend achthundert, streitbare Männer, Männer von Namen, nach ihren Vaterhäusern.
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.
Und von dem halben Stamme Manasse: achtzehntausend, die mit Namen angegeben wurden, daß sie hingingen, um David zum König zu machen.
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.
Und von den Kindern Issaschar: Männer, welche Einsicht hatten in die Zeiten, um zu wissen, was Israel tun mußte; ihre Häupter, zweihundert; und alle ihre Brüder folgten ihrem Befehl.
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.
Von Sebulon: die zum Heere auszogen, mit allen Kriegswaffen zum Kampfe bereit, fünfzigtausend, und zwar um sich in Schlachtreihen zu ordnen mit ungeteiltem Herzen.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
Und von Naphtali: tausend Oberste; und mit ihnen siebenunddreißigtausend mit Schild und Speer.
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.
Und von den Danitern: achtundzwanzigtausend sechshundert, zum Kampfe bereit.
36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
Und von Aser: die zum Heere auszogen, zum Kampfe bereit, vierzigtausend.
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.
Und von jenseit des Jordan, von den Rubenitern und den Gaditern und dem halben Stamme Manasse: mit allen Waffen eines Kriegsheeres, hundertzwanzigtausend.
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.
Alle diese Kriegsleute, die sich in Schlachtreihen ordneten, kamen mit ungeteiltem Herzen nach Hebron, um David zum König über ganz Israel zu machen. Und auch alle übrigen in Israel waren eines Herzens, David zum König zu machen.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Und sie waren daselbst bei David drei Tage, und aßen und tranken; denn ihre Brüder hatten für sie zugerichtet.
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.
Und auch die ihnen nahe wohnten, bis nach Issaschar und Sebulon und Naphtali hin, brachten Lebensmittel auf Eseln und auf Kamelen und auf Maultieren und auf Rindern: Mehlspeisen, Feigenkuchen und Rosinenkuchen, und Wein und Öl, und Rinder und Kleinvieh in Menge; denn es war Freude in Israel.
