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.
Og dette er dei som kom til David i Siklag, medan han endå heldt seg undan Saul Kisson; dei var av dei kjemporne som hjelpte han i striden.
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.
Dei var væpna med boge og føre til å slyngja stein og skjota piler frå bogen, både med høgre og vinstre handi. Av ættefrendarne hans Saul, av Benjamins-folket, var desse:
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];
Ahiezer, den hævaste, og Joas, søner åt Sema’a frå Gibea, Jezuel og Pelet, sønerne åt Azmavet, og Beraka, og Jehu frå Anatot,
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
Jismaja frå Gibeon, ein av dei tretti kjemporne og hovding for dei tretti, Jirmeja og Jahaziel og Johanan og Josabad frå Gedera,
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Eluzai og Jerimot og Bealja og Semarja og Sefatja frå Harif,
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
Elkana og Jissa og Azarel og Joezer og Jasobam, korahitarne,
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
Joela og Zebadja, søner til Jeroham, frå 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.
Og av gaditarne var det nokre som fall ifrå og gav seg med David i fjellborgi i øydemarki; det var djerve menner, herføre stridsmenner, væpna med skjold og spjot. Dei hadde ei uppsyn som løvor, og var rappe som gasellor på fjellet.
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Ezer var den hævaste; Obadja var den andre, Eliab den tridje,
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Mismanna den fjorde, Jirmeja den femte,
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Attai den sette, Eliel den sjuande,
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Johanan den åttande, Elzabad den niande,
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Jirmeja den tiande, Makbannai den ellevte.
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.
Desse var av Gads-sønerne og av dei hævaste i heren; den ringaste av deim var like god åleine som hundrad mann, og den gjævaste jamngod med tusund.
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.
Det var dei som gjekk yver Jordan den fyrste månaden då elvi gjekk yver breidderne, og som jaga av alle dalbuarne mot aust og mot vest.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Av Benjamins- og Juda-sønerne kom det nokre menner til David alt til fjellborgi.
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.”
Då gjekk David ut imot deim, og tok til ords og sagde til dei: «I fall de er meinte på fred og vil hjelpa meg, so er hugen min reidug til semja med dykk. Men kjem de og vil gjeva meg yver til fiendarne mine, endå det ingen urett er i mine hender, då sjå fedreguden vår på det og refse det!»
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.”
Men anden greip Amasai, den hævaste av dei tretti, og han sagde: «Deg, David, høyrer me til, og i lag med deg, Isaisonen, vil me standa. Fred, fred vere med deg, og fred vere med hjelpesmennerne dine! For din Gud hev hjelpt deg.» Då tok David imot deim og sette deim til hovdingar yver herflokken.
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}!”
Av Manasse var det og nokre som gav seg med David då han drog ut i lag med filistarane til strid mot Saul, endå han sidan ikkje fekk hjelpa deim; for då filisterhovdingarne hadde halde samråd, sende dei honom burt, med di dei sagde: «Det stend um hovudet for oss um han gjeng yver til Saul, herren sin.»
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].
Då han so for til Siklag, gav desse av Manasse seg med honom: det var Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elihu og Silletai, hovdingar for dei herflokkarne som høyrde til 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.
Desse hjelpte David mot røvarflokkarne; for dei var djerve hermenner alle saman, og dei vart hovudsmenner i heren.
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).
For det kom dagstødt folk til David som vilde hjelpa honom, so herlægret hans til slutt vart ovleg stort, som eit Guds herlæger.
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.
Dette er talet på dei stridsbudde hermennerne som kom til David i Hebron og vilde gjeve honom Sauls kongedøme i hende etter Herrens bod:
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Juda-sønerne som bar skjold og spjot, seks tusund og åtte hundrad herbudde menner;
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.
Simeons-sønerne, stridsføre hermenner, sju tusund og eit hundrad;
26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
av Levi-sønerne fire tusund og seks hundrad;
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.
og dertil Jojada, hovdingen for Arons-ætti, og tri tusund og sju hundrad mann med honom,
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
og Sadok, ein våpndjerv ungdom, og ætti hans, tvo og tjuge hovdingar;
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.
av Benjamins-sønerne, ættefrendarne hans Saul, tri tusund; for mengdi av deim heldt seg endå trutt til Sauls hus i den tidi;
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.
av Efraims-sønerne tjuge tusund og åtte hundrad herføre stridsmenner, namngjetne menner i ætterne sine;
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.
av eine helvti av Manasse-ætti attan tusund, som var nemde med namn og kom og skulde gjera David til konge;
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.
av Issakars-sønerne slike menner som hadde skyn på tidartekni, og visste kva Israel burde gjera; det var tvo hundrad hovdingar, og dertil alle ættefrendarne deira, som dei hadde styringi yver;
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.
av Sebulon femti tusund stridsføre menner, herbudde med alle slag våpn; dei flokka seg samheldige;
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
av Naftali eit tusund hovdingar, og med deim sju og tretti tusund mann som var væpna med skjold og spjot;
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.
av danitarne åtte og tjuge tusund og seks hundrad herbudde menner;
36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
av Asser stridsføre og herbudde menner, fyrti tusund;
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.
og frå hi sida åt Jordan, av rubenitarne, gaditarne og andre helvti av Manasse-ætti, eit hundrad og tjuge tusund mann med alle slag våpn som er bruklege i strid.
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 desse hermennerne skipa seg i fylking og kom med hjartans godhug for David til Hebron og vilde gjera honom til konge yver heile Israel. Men alle hine av Israel var og sameinte i å gjera David til konge.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Og dei var der hjå David i tri dagar og åt og drakk; for brørne deira hadde laga til åt deim.
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.
Dei som budde nær ved, alt upp til Issakar, Sebulon og Naftali, førde og nøgdi med føda til deim, på asen, kamelar, muldyr og uksar; grjonmat, fikekakor, rosinkakor, vin og olje, bufe og sauer; for det var gleda i Israel.
