1 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
Aya nĩo andũ arĩa mookire kũrĩ Daudi arĩ kũu Zikilagi, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aaingatĩtwo akehera maitho-inĩ ma Saũlũ mũrũ wa Kishu (maarĩ amwe a njamba cia ita iria ciamũteithirie mbaara-inĩ;
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows from a bow, even of Saul’s brethren of Benjamin.
Nao maakuuaga mota na nĩmooĩ gũikia mĩguĩ, na gũikia mahiga na kĩgũtha, na guoko kwa ũrĩo kana kwa ũmotho; maarĩ a mbarĩ ĩmwe na Saũlũ kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini), nao maarĩ:
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
na Joela, na Zebadia, ariũ a Jerohamu kuuma Gedori.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves to David in the strong hold in the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
Agadi amwe nĩmagarũrũkire magĩcooka mwena wa Daudi o kũu werũ-inĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake. Maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme ciehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara, na nĩmooĩ kũhũthĩra ngo na itimũ. Mothiũ mao maahaanaga ta mothiũ ma mĩrũũthi, na maarĩ ihenya ta thwariga irĩ irĩma-inĩ.

14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
Agadi acio maarĩ anene a mbũtũ cia ita; ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ igana, nake ũrĩa warĩ mũnene mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
Nĩo maaringire Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mweri wa mbere rĩrĩa rwaiyũrĩte nginya rũkoina hũgũrũrũ ciaruo ciothe, na makĩingatithia andũ arĩa othe maaikaraga cianda-inĩ cia mwena wa irathĩro na mwena wa ithũĩro.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the strong hold to David.
Andũ amwe a kuuma Benjamini na angĩ a kuuma Juda o nao magĩũka kũrĩ Daudi kũu kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you: but if ye have come to betray me to my enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look on it, and rebuke it.
Daudi agĩthiĩ kũmatũnga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo mũrooka kũrĩ niĩ na thayũ kũndeithia-rĩ, nĩndĩhaarĩirie kũmwamũkĩra tũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe; no angĩkorwo mũũkĩte kũngunyanĩra kũrĩ thũ ciakwa o rĩrĩa itarenda haaro-rĩ, Ngai wa maithe maitũ arorora ũndũ ũcio na amũtuĩre ciira.”
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be to thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho agĩikũrũkĩra Amasai, mũnene wa arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ aku, wee Daudi! Tũrĩ hamwe nawe, wee mũrũ wa Jesii! Ũrogaacĩra, ũgaacĩre ki, na arĩa magũteithagia marogaacĩra, nĩgũkorwo Ngai waku nĩegũgũteithia.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩmaamũkĩra na akĩmatua atongoria a mbũtũ ciake cia gũtharĩkĩra thũ.
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
Andũ amwe a Manase nĩmagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wa Daudi rĩrĩa aathiire na Afilisti kũhũũrana na Saũlũ. (Daudi na andũ ake matiateithirie Afilisti, tondũ thuutha wa kwaranĩria, aathani ao nĩmamũingatire. Maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Tũkaarĩha na mĩoyo iitũ angĩgatũtiganĩria acookerere mwathi wake Saũlũ.”)
20 And as he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aathiire Zikilagi, aya nĩo andũ a Manase arĩa maagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wake: Adina, na Jozabadu, na Jediaeli, na Mikaeli, na Jozabadu, na Elihu, na Zilethai, atongoria a ikundi cia ngiri kũu Manase.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
Nĩmateithirie Daudi kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ iria ciamũtharĩkĩire, nĩgũkorwo othe maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme, na maarĩ anene a ita ciake.
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
Mũthenya o mũthenya andũ nĩmookaga gũteithia Daudi, o nginya akĩgĩa na mbũtũ nene, o ta mbũtũ ya Ngai.
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa meehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara arĩa maathiire Hebironi kũrĩ Daudi nĩgeetha magarũre ũthamaki wa Saũlũ, maũnengere Daudi, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte:

38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
Acio othe maarĩ andũ a kũrũa arĩa meerutĩte gũtungata marĩ ita-inĩ. Magĩũka Hebironi marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe ya gũtua Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe. Andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ othe o nao maarĩ na rĩciiria o rĩmwe rĩa gũtua Daudi mũthamaki.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had made preparation for them.
Andũ acio maikarire kũu na Daudi mĩthenya ĩtatũ makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, nĩgũkorwo andũ a nyũmba ciao nĩmaheanĩte irio nĩ ũndũ wao.
40 Moreover they that were near them, even to Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and provisions, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
