< 1 Chronicles 12 >
1 These were the men who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish. They were among the soldiers, his helpers in battle.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom bịakwutere Devid na Ziklag, mgbe e si nʼihu Sọl nwa Kish chụpụ ya. (Ha so nʼime ndị ọka agha nyeere Devid aka ibu agha.
2 They were armed with bows and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were Benjamites, Saul's fellow tribesmen.
Ngwa agha ha bụ ụta, ha nwere ike iji aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe gbapụ àkụ maọbụ fee ebe; ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Sọl si nʼebo Benjamin.)
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, both sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite. There were Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth. There were also Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite,

Juela na Zebadaya ụmụ Jeroham onye Gedoa.
8 Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were fighting men, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were as fierce as the faces of lions. They were as swift as gazelles on the mountains.
Ndị a bụkwa dike nʼagha sitere nʼebo Gad gbasoo Devid nʼebe e wusiri ike ya dị nʼọzara. Ha bụkwa ndị ọka nʼiji ùbe na ọta alụ agha. Ha dịkwa gara gara dịka ele nʼelu ugwu, ihu ha dịkwa ka ihu ọdụm.

14 These sons of Gad were leaders of the army. The least led a hundred, and the greatest led a thousand.
Ndị a, ndị sitere nʼebo Gad bụ ndịisi agha. Onye na-adịghị ike nʼime ha dị ike dịka narị ndị agha, ma onye dị ike nʼime ha dị ike dịka puku ndị agha.
15 They crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it overflowed its banks, and chased away all those living in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
Ọ bụ ha gafere osimiri Jọdan nʼudu mmiri, mgbe Jọdan tofere akụkụ ya niile, chụsaa ndị niile bi na ndagwurugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
16 Some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
Ndị ọzọ sitekwara nʼebo Benjamin na Juda bịakwute Devid nʼebe ya e wusiri ike.
17 David went out to meet them and addressed them: “If you have come in peace to me to help me, you may join me. But if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, may the God of our ancestors see and rebuke you, since I have done no wrong.”
Mgbe ahụ, Devid pụrụ ịga zute ha, sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu bịara nʼudo inyere m aka, ejikeere m ịnabata unu ka unu dịnyere m. Kama ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu bịara ịrara m nye nʼaka ndị iro m, ebe aka m dị ọcha, ka Chineke nna nna anyị hụ ihe dị unu nʼobi kpee unu ikpe.”
18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty. Amasai said, “We are yours, David. We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace, may peace be to whoever helps you. May peace be to your helpers, for your God is helping you.” Then David received them and made them commanders over his men.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ dakwasịrị Amasai, onyendu iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ, mee ka ọ gwa Devid okwu sị ya, “Anyị bụ ndị gị, Devid! Anyị so gị nʼazụ, gị nwa Jesi! Udo, udo ga-abụ nke gị, udo ga-abụkwa nke ndị na-enyere gị aka, nʼihi na Chineke gị na-enyere gị aka.” Ya mere, Devid nabatara ha mee ha ndịisi agha na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe.
19 Some from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle. Yet they did not help the Philistines, because the Philistine lords consulted with each other and sent David away. They said, “He will desert to his master Saul at the risk of our lives.”
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ebo Manase gbasooro Devid, mgbe ọ gara sonyere ndị Filistia nʼịlụso Sọl ọgụ. Ma ya na ndị agha ya enyereghị ndị Filistia aka, nʼihi na mgbe ndị Filistia gbachara izu, ndị ndu ndị Filistia zilagara ya. Ha kwuru sị, “Isi anyị ka anyị ga-atụfu ma ọ bụrụ na Devid ahapụ anyị nʼọgbọ agha gbakwuru nna ya ukwu bụ Sọl.”
20 When he went to Ziklag, the men of Manasseh who joined him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains over thousands of Manasseh.
Mgbe Devid gara Ziklag, ndị a bụ ndị ikom si nʼebo Manase ndị gbasooro ya: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Maikel, Jozabad, Elihu na Ziletai. Ndị a niile bụ ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha nʼebo Manase.
21 They helped David fight against the roving bands, for they were fighting men. Later they became commanders in the army.
Ha nyeere Devid aka imegide ndị agha nkwata ahụ, nʼihi na ha niile bụ dike nʼagha, bụrụkwa ndịisi agha.
22 Day after day, men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.
Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, ọtụtụ ndị ikom na-agbafeta soro Devid, tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọrọ igwe ndị agha, ndị agha nke Chineke.
23 This is the record of the armed soldiers for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, which carried out Yahweh's word.
Ndị a bụ ndị jikeere ibu agha, ndị chịkwa ngwa agha bịakwute Devid na Hebrọn, nʼihi na ha chọrọ ka ọ bịa bụrụ eze ha nʼọnọdụ Sọl, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.

40 In addition, those who were near to them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen, and cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep, for Israel was celebrating.
