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.
Lè David t'ap viv lavil Ziklag kote li te al kache pou Sayil, pitit gason Kich la, pa jwenn li, yon bann vanyan sòlda te vin jwenn li la pou ba l' konkou nan lagè a.
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.
Yo tout te gen banza. Yo te gen ladrès pou voye wòch ak pou tire flèch ni ak men gòch ni ak men dwat. Se te moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te ye tankou Sayil.
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];
Alatèt yo te gen Akyezè ak Joas, pitit gason Chema, moun lavil Gibeya, Jezyèl ak Pelèt, pitit gason Azmavèt, Beraka ak Jeou, moun lavil Anatòt,
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
Jismaja, moun lavil Gabawon, yonn nan trant vanyan sòlda yo ak yonn nan chèf yo, Jeremi, Jakazyèl, Joanan ak Jozabad, moun lavil Gedera.
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Elouzayi, Jerimòt, Bealya, Chemarya ak Chefatya, moun lavil Awòf,
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
Elkana, Jichija, Azariyèl, Joezè ak Jakobeyam, nan branch fanmi Kore a.
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
Joela ak Zebadya, pitit gason Jewokam, moun lavil Gedò.
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.
Konsa tou, nan branch fanmi Gad la, te gen moun ki te pati al jwenn David lè li te nan fò nan dezè a. Se te yon bann vanyan sòlda ki te gen ladrès nan fè lagè. Yo tout te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn. Yo te move tankou lyon, yo te konn kouri tankou kabrit nan mòn.
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Premye a te rele Ezè, dezyèm lan Obadya, twazyèm lan Eliyab,
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
katriyèm lan Michmana, senkyèm lan Jeremi,
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
sizyèm lan Atayi, setyèm lan Eliyèl,
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
wityèm lan Jokanan, nevyèm lan Elzabad,
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
dizyèm lan Jeremi, onzyèm lan Makbanayi.
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.
Mesye branch fanmi Gad yo te chèf nan lame a. Pi piti ladan yo a te vo san (100) sòlda, pi gran an te vo mil (1000) sòlda.
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.
Se yo menm ki te janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an yon lè larivyè a t'ap desann nan premye mwa lanne a. Lèfini, yo fè tout moun ki te rete nan fon yo mete deyò, ni sou bò solèy leve, ni sou bò solèy kouche.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Nan branch fanmi Benjamen ak branch fanmi Jida yo te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David jouk nan fò kote l' te kache a.
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.”
David soti al kontre yo, li di yo: -Si se an zanmi nou vini pou ede m', m' byen kontan nou vin jwenn mwen. Men, si se pou nou trayi m' bay moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, mwen menm mwen konnen mwen pa fè ankenn mechanste, mwen lapriyè Bondye ak tout kè m'. Bondye zansèt nou yo va wè sa, se li ki va pini nou.
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.”
Lè sa a, lespri Bondye desann sou Amasayi, chèf trant vanyan yo, li di byen fò: -Nou la avè ou, David! Nou kanpe avè ou, pitit Izayi! Kè poze pou ou ak pou moun k'ap ede ou yo! Paske Bondye te pote ou sekou! Lè sa a, David resevwa yo, li mete yo chèf nan lame li a.
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}!”
Nan branch fanmi Manase a, te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David lè li te mete tèt ansanm ak moun Filisti yo pou goumen ak Sayil. Men, lè sa a, David pa t' bay moun Filisti yo ankenn konkou. Lè gwo chèf moun Filisti yo reyini pou koze sou zafè a, yo te pran desizyon di l' non mèsi, paske yo t'ap di li ta ka vann yo pou li te ka byen anko ak Sayil, mèt li.
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].
Men moun nan branch fanmi Manase a ki te vin mete tèt ansanm ak David apre li te tounen lavil Ziglag. Se te Adnak, Jozabad, Jedyayèl, Mikayèl, Jozabad, Eliyou ak Siltayi, ki te chèf rejiman mil sòlda laba nan peyi Manase.
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.
Se yo menm ki te ede David ansanm ak lame a, paske se te yon bann vanyan sòlda. Apre sa, yo te gwo chèf nan lame a.
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).
Se chak jou moun t'ap vin jwenn David pou ede l'. Se konsa li vin gen yon gwo lame ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.
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.
Men kantite moun avèk zam pou fè lagè ki te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon pou renmèt li gouvènman an nan plas Sayil, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Nan branch fanmi Jida a, similwisan (6.800) gason avèk plak pwotèj yo ak frenn yo, tout byen pare pou fè lagè.

plis twamilsètsan (3.700) nan fanmi Mawon an ak Jeojada alatèt yo.
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
Te gen Zadòk tou, yon jenn vanyan gason ak vennde lòt chèf nan fanmi li.
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.
Nan branch fanmi Benjamen an, fanmi Sayil la menm, twamil (3.000) gason. Pifò nan moun fanmi Benjamen yo te kanpe toujou avèk Sayil.
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.
Nan branch fanmi Efrayim lan, venmilwisan (20.800) vanyan sòlda. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo nan fanmi yo.
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.
Nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, dizwimil (18.000) gason yo te chwazi pou al mete David wa sou fotèy la.
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.
Nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moun ki te fò nan konnen sa pou pèp Izrayèl la fè ak lè pou yo fè l', desan (200) chèf ansanm ak tout gason nan branch fanmi an ki te sou kòmandman yo.
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.
Nan branch fanmi Zabilon an, senkantmil (50.000) sòlda ki konn mache fè lagè avèk tout kalite zam, epi ki te soti pou ede David ak tout kè yo.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
Nan branch fanmi Neftali a, mil (1000) chèf ansanm ak trannsètmil (37.000) gason ak plak pwotèj ak frenn.
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.

Lèfini, nan branch fanmi Woubenn lan, nan branch fanmi Gad la, ak nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a ki te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an te gen sanvenmil (120.000) gason ak tout kalite zam.
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.
Tout sòlda sa yo, ki te tou pare pou fè lagè, te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon ak tout kè yo. Yo te soti pou yo te fè l' wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout rès pèp Izrayèl la te vini ak menm lide a tou: fè David wa.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Yo pase twa jou la ansanm ak David, yo t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, paske moun Izrayèl parèy yo te pare tout bagay pou yo.
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.
Lèfini, moun soti nan tout vwazinaj la, jouk nan peyi Isaka, peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali, yo pote manje sou bourik, sou chamo, sou milèt ak sou bèf. Te gen pwovizyon farin frans, gato, fig frans, grap rezen chèch, diven, lwil ak kantite bèf, mouton ak kabrit. Tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap fè fèt nan tout peyi a.
