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.
Ko te hunga tenei i haere ki a Rawiri ki Tikiraka, i a ia ano e putiki tonu ana i roto i te pa i te wehi o Haora tama a Kihi: no nga marohirohi ratou, hei tuara mona ki te whawhai.
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.
He hunga kukume kopere ratou, ko te maui, ko te matau, ki te kotaha kohatu, ki te kopere i te pere; no nga teina ano o Haora, no Pineamine.
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];
Ko Ahietere te upoko, na ko Ioaha, he tama raua na Hemaa Kipeati; ko Ietiere, ko Perete he tama na Atamawete; ko Peraka, ko Iehu Anatoti;
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
Ko Ihimaia Kipeoni, he marohirohi ia i roto i te toru tekau, he rangatira ano no te toru tekau; ko Heremaia, ko Tahatiere, ko Iohanana, ko Iohapara Kererati;
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Ko Erutai, ko Terimoto, ko Pearia, ko Hemaria, ko Hepatia Harupi;

Ko Erekana, ko Ihiia, ko Atareere, ko Toetere, ko Iahopeama, he Korahi ratou;
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
Ko Toera, ko Teparia, he tama na Ierohama o Keroro.
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.
Na o nga Kari i maunu etahi ki a Rawiri ki te pourewa i te koraha, he tangata marohirohi, i rauhangatia mo te whawhai, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te tao: ko o ratou mata me te mea he kanohi raiona, rite tonu o ratou tere ki to nga a naterope i runga i nga maunga;
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Ko Etere te upoko, ko Oparia te tuarua, ko Eriapa te tuatoru;
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Ko Mihimana te tuawha, ko Heremaia te tuarina;
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Ko Atai te tuaono, ko Eriere te tuawhitu;
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Ko Iohanana te tuawaru, ko Eretapara te tuaiwa;
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Ko Heremaia te tuatekau, ko Makapanai te tekau ma tahi.
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.
Ko enei o nga tama a Kara he rangatira ope: ko te mea iti rawa hei rangatira mo te rau, a ko te mea nui rawa hei rangatira mo te mano.
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.
Ko te hunga tenei i whiti nei i Horano i te marama tuatahi, i te mea kua ngawha ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa; a whati ana i a ratou te hunga katoa o nga raorao whaka te rawhiti, a whaka te hauauru.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
I haere mai ano etahi o nga tama a Pineamine me etahi o a Hura ki te pourewa ki a Rawiri.
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.”
Na ka puta a Rawiri ki te whakatau i a ratou, a ka oho, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te mea he haere pai mai ta koutou ki ahau, he whakauru, ka kotahi tonu o tatou ngakau. Tena ki te tinihanga, te tuku i ahau ki oku hoariri, i te mea kahore nei he tutu a oku ringa, ma te Atua o o tatou matua e titiro mai, e riri.
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.”
Na kua tau te wairua ki a Amahai, ko ia nei te rangatira o te toru tekau, a ka ki ia, Kei a koe matou, e Rawiri, hei hoa mou, e te tama a Hehe, Kia mau, kia mau te rongo ki a koe; kia mau ano ki ou whakauru; ko tou Atua hoki hei whakauru mou. Na kua riro ratou i a Rawiri, a meinga ana ratou e ia hei rangatira rangapu.
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}!”
Na o Manahi hoki i papahoro etahi ki a Rawiri, i a ia i haere tahi ai me nga Pirihitini ki te whawhai ki a Haora, otiia kihai ratou i uru ki a ratou: i panaia hoki ia e nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, he mea, whakaaro ano e ratou, i mea ratou, T era ia e taka atu ki tona ariki, ki a Haora, ko o tatou upoko e raru.
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].
I a ia e haere ana ki Tikiraka, ka papahoro mai ki a ia o Manahi ko Arana, ko Iotapara, ko Teriaere, ko Mikaera, ko Iotapara, ko Erihu, ko Tiritai, he rangatira no nga mano o Manahi.
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.
Ko ratou nga whakauru mo Rawiri ki te whawhai ki nga torohe; he marohirohi hoki, he toa, ratou katoa, he rangatira ope.
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).
I haere hoki ratou i taua wa ki a Rawiri i tena ra, i tena ra, hei whakauru mona, no kua nui te ope, ano he ope na te Atua.
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.
Ko te tokomaha tenei o nga rangatira, he hunga i rite rawa mo te whawhai, i haere ki a Rawiri ki Heperona hei whakariro i te kingitanga o Haora ki a ia; kia rite ai ki ta Ihowa kupu.

28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
Me Haroko ano, he taitama marohirohi, he toa, ratou ko te whare o tona papa, e rua tekau ma rua nga rangatira.
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.
A, o nga tama a Pineamine, o nga teina o Haora, e toru mano: ko to ratou nuinga hoki i mau tonu ki te whare o Haora a taea noatia taua ra.
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.

A, o tetahi tanga o te iwi o Manahi, kotahi tekau ma waru mano, he mea whakahua o ratou ingoa, hei haere ki te whakakingi i a Rawiri.
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.
Na, o nga tama a Ihakara, he hunga mohio ki nga wa, i mohio ai ki nga mahi ma Iharaira; e rua rau o ratou ariki; kei o enei mangai ano he tikanga mo o ratou teina.
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.
O Hepurona, ko te hunga e ahei te haere ki te whawhai, he mohio ki te tatai i te riri, e mau ana i nga mea katoa mo te whawhai, e rima tekau mano; he hunga e taea te whakatika te tatai o te riri, a kahore o ratou ngakau rua.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
A o Napatari kotahi mano nga rangatira, e toru tekau ma whitu mano o ratou hoa, rite rawa i te whakangungu rakau, i te tao.

Na, o tera taha o Horano, o nga Reupeni, o nga Kari, o tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, e mau ana i nga mea whawhai katoa mo te tatau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano.
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.
Ko enei, he tangata whawhai katoa, he mohio ki te tatau, he tapatahi tonu te ngakau i haere ai ki Heperona ki te mea i a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa. Na, ko era atu katoa o Iharaira, kotahi tonu te ngakau mo te whakakingi i a Rawiri.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
A i reira ratou i a Rawiri, e toru nga ra e kai ana, e inu ana: he mea taka hoki na o ratou tuakana, teina.
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.
Na, ko te hunga tata ki a ratou, tae noa atu ki a Ihakara, ki a Hepurona, ki a Napatari, i kawe taro mai i runga i nga kaihe, i nga kamera, i nga muera, a i nga kau, he kai, he paraoa, he papa piki, he tautau karepe, he waina, he hinu, he kau, h e hipi, tona tini; he koa hoki no Iharaira.
