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.
Ούτοι δε είναι οι ελθόντες προς τον Δαβίδ εις Σικλάγ, ενώ ήτο έτι κεκλεισμένος από προσώπου του Σαούλ υιού του Κείς, και ούτοι ήσαν εκ των ισχυρών, βοηθούντες εν πολέμω,
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.
ώπλισμένοι τόξα, μεταχειριζόμενοι και την δεξιάν και την αριστεράν εις το να τοξεύωσι λίθους και βέλη διά του τόξου, όντες εκ των αδελφών του Σαούλ, εκ του Βενιαμίν·
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];
ο αρχηγός Αχιέζερ, έπειτα Ιωάς, υιοί του Σεμαά του Γαβααθίτου· και Ιεζιήλ και Φελέτ, υιοί του Αζμαβέθ· και Βεραχά και Ιηού ο Αναθωθίτης·
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
και Ισμαΐα ο Γαβαωνίτης, ισχυρός μεταξύ των τριάκοντα και επί των τριάκοντα· και Ιερεμίας και Ιααζιήλ και Ιωανάν και Ιωζαβάδ ο Γεδηρωθίτης,
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Ελουζαΐ και Ιεριμώθ και Βααλία και Σεμαρίας και Σεφατίας ο Αρουφίτης
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
Ελκανά και Ιεσιά και Αζαρεήλ και Ιωεζέρ και Ιασωβεάμ, οι Κορίται,
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
και Ιωηλά και Ζεβαδίας, οι υιοί του Ιεροάμ από Γεδώρ.
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.
Και εκ των Γαδιτών εχωρίσθησαν τινές και ήλθον προς τον Δαβίδ εις το οχύρωμα εν τη ερήμω, δυνατοί εν ισχύϊ, άνδρες παρατάξεως πολέμου, θυρεοφόροι και λογχοφόροι, και τα πρόσωπα αυτών πρόσωπα λέοντος, εις δε την ταχύτητα ως αι δορκάδες επί των ορέων·
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Εσέρ ο άρχων, Οβαδία ο δεύτερος, Ελιάβ ο τρίτος,
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Μισμανά ο τέταρτος, Ιερεμίας ο πέμπτος,
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Ατθαΐ ο έκτος, Ελιήλ ο έβδομος,
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Ιωανάν ο όγδοος, Ελζαβάδ ο έννατος,
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Ιερεμίας ο δέκατος, Μαχβαναί ο ενδέκατος.
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.
Ούτοι ήσαν εκ των υιών του Γαδ, αρχηγοί του στρατεύματος, εις ο μικρότερος επί εκατόν, και ο μεγαλήτερος επί χιλίους.
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.
Ούτοι ήσαν οι διαβάντες τον Ιορδάνην εν τω πρώτω μηνί, ότε πλημμυρεί επί πάσας τας όχθας αυτού· και διεσκόρπισαν πάντας τους κατοίκους των κοιλάδων προς ανατολάς και προς δυσμάς.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Ήλθον έτι εκ των υιών Βενιαμίν και Ιούδα εις το οχύρωμα προς τον Δαβίδ.
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.”
Και εξήλθεν ο Δαβίδ εις συνάντησιν αυτών και αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς, Εάν έρχησθε προς εμέ εν ειρήνη διά να μοι βοηθήσητε, η καρδία μου θέλει είσθαι ηνωμένη με σάς· αλλ' εάν διά να με προδόσητε εις τους εχθρούς μου, ενώ δεν είναι αδικία εις τας χείρας μου, ο Θεός των πατέρων ημών ας ίδη και ας ελέγξη τούτο.
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.”
Και το Πνεύμα περιεχύθη εις τον Αμασαΐ, τον άρχοντα των τριάκοντα, και είπε, Σού είμεθα, Δαβίδ, και μετά σου, υιέ του Ιεσσαί. Ειρήνη, ειρήνη εις σε, και ειρήνη εις τους βοηθούς σου· διότι ο Θεός σου σε βοηθεί. Τότε εδέχθη αυτούς ο Δαβίδ και κατέστησεν αυτούς αρχηγούς των δυνάμεων αυτού.
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}!”
Και εκ του Μανασσή προσεχώρησαν εις τον Δαβίδ, ότε ήλθε μετά των Φιλισταίων εναντίον του Σαούλ διά να πολεμήση, πλην δεν εβοήθησαν αυτούς· διότι οι ηγεμόνες των Φιλισταίων συμβουλευθέντες απέπεμψαν αυτόν, λέγοντες, Θέλει προσχωρήσει προς τον Σαούλ τον κύριον αυτού με κίνδυνον των κεφαλών ημών.
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].
Ενώ επορεύετο εις Σικλάγ, προσεχώρησαν εις αυτόν εκ του Μανασσή, Αδνά και Ιωζαβάδ και Ιεδιαήλ και Μιχαήλ και Ιωζαβάδ και Ελιού και Σιλθαΐ, αρχηγοί των χιλιάδων του Μανασσή·
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.
και ούτοι εβοήθησαν τον Δαβίδ εναντίον των ληστών· διότι ήσαν πάντες δυνατοί εν ισχύϊ και έγειναν αρχηγοί του στρατεύματος.
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).
Διότι τότε από ημέρας εις ημέραν ήρχοντο προς τον Δαβίδ διά να βοηθήσωσιν αυτόν, εωσού έγεινε στρατόπεδον μέγα, ως στρατόπεδον Θεού.
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.
Ούτοι δε είναι οι αριθμοί των αρχηγών των ώπλισμένων διά πόλεμον, των ελθόντων προς τον Δαβίδ εις Χεβρών, διά να στρέψωσιν εις αυτόν την βασιλείαν του Σαούλ, κατά τον λόγον του Κυρίου.
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Οι υιοί του Ιούδα, θυρεοφόροι και λογχοφόροι, εξ χιλιάδες και οκτακόσιοι, ώπλισμένοι διά πόλεμον.
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.
Εκ των υιών Συμεών, δυνατοί εν ισχύϊ, διά πόλεμον, επτά χιλιάδες και εκατόν.
26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
Εκ των υιών Λευΐ, τέσσαρες χιλιάδες και εξακόσιοι.
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.
Και ο Ιωδαέ ήτο αρχηγός των Ααρωνιτών, και μετ' αυτού ήσαν τρεις χιλιάδες και επτακόσιοι·
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
και Σαδώκ, νέος δυνατός εν ισχύϊ, και εκ του οίκου του πατρός αυτού εικοσιδύο αρχηγοί.
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.
Και εκ των υιών Βενιαμίν, αδελφών του Σαούλ, τρεις χιλιάδες· διότι έως τότε το μεγαλήτερον μέρος αυτών υπερησπίζετο τον οίκον του Σαούλ.
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.
Και εκ των υιών Εφραΐμ, είκοσι χιλιάδες και οκτακόσιοι, δυνατοί εν ισχύϊ, άνδρες ονομαστοί του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών.
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.
Και εκ της ημισείας φυλής του Μανασσή, δεκαοκτώ χιλιάδες· οίτινες ωνομάσθησαν κατ' όνομα, διά να έλθωσι να κάμωσι βασιλέα τον Δαβίδ.
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.
Και εκ των υιών Ισσάχαρ, άνδρες συνετοί εις την γνώσιν των καιρών, ώστε να γνωρίζωσι τι έπρεπε να κάμνη ο Ισραήλ· οι αρχηγοί αυτών ήσαν διακόσιοι· και πάντες οι αδελφοί αυτών υπό την διαταγήν αυτών.
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.
Εκ του Ζαβουλών, όσοι εξήρχοντο εις πόλεμον, παραταττόμενοι εις μάχην με πάντα τα όπλα του πολέμου, πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες, μάχιμοι εκ παρατάξεως, ουχί με διπλήν καρδίαν.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
Και εκ του Νεφθαλί, χίλιοι αρχηγοί, και μετ' αυτών θυρεοφόροι και λογχοφόροι τριάκοντα επτά χιλιάδες.
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.
Και εκ των Δανιτών, άνδρες παραταττόμενοι εις πόλεμον, εικοσιοκτώ χιλιάδες και εξακόσιοι.
36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
Και εκ του Ασήρ, όσοι εξήρχοντο εις πόλεμον, μάχιμοι εκ παρατάξεως, τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες.
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.
Και εκ του πέραν του Ιορδάνου, εκ των Ρουβηνιτών και εκ των Γαδιτών και εκ της ημισείας φυλής του Μανασσή, με πάντα τα όπλα του πολέμου διά μάχην, εκατόν είκοσι χιλιάδες.
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.
Πάντες ούτοι οι άνδρες οι πολεμισταί, μάχιμοι εκ παρατάξεως, ήλθον με πλήρη καρδίαν εις Χεβρών, διά να κάμωσι τον Δαβίδ βασιλέα επί πάντα τον Ισραήλ· και παν έτι το επίλοιπον του Ισραήλ ήσαν μία καρδία, διά να κάμωσι τον Δαβίδ βασιλέα.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Και ήσαν εκεί μετά του Δαβίδ τρεις ημέρας, τρώγοντες και πίνοντες· διότι οι αδελφοί αυτών είχον κάμει ετοιμασίαν δι' αυτούς.
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.
Προσέτι, οι γειτονεύοντες μετ' αυτών, έως του Ισσάχαρ, και Ζαβουλών και Νεφθαλί, έφεραν τροφάς επί όνων και επί καμήλων και επί ημιόνων και επί βοών, τροφάς αλεύρου, παλάθας σύκων και σταφίδας και οίνον και έλαιον και βόας και πρόβατα, αφθόνως· διότι ήτο ευφροσύνη εν τω Ισραήλ.
