1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Aisraeli onse anasonkhana pamaso pa Davide ku Hebroni ndipo anati, “Ife ndife abale anu.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
Kale lija, ngakhale pamene Sauli anali mfumu, inu ndinu amene munkatsogolera Aisraeli pa nkhondo zawo. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu anakuwuzani kuti, ‘Iwe udzaweta anthu anga Aisraeli, ndipo udzakhala mfumu yawo.’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. They anointed David king over Israel, according to the LORD’s word by Samuel.
Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika kwa Mfumu Davide ku Hebroni, iye anachita nawo pangano pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anamudzoza Davide kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, monga momwe Yehova analonjezera kudzera mwa Samueli.
4 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
Davide ndi Aisraeli onse anapita ku Yerusalemu (ku Yebusi). Ayebusi amene ankakhala kumeneko
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
anamuwuza Davide kuti, “Simulowa muno.” Komabe Davide analanda linga la Ziyoni, limene ndi mzinda wa Davide.
6 David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
Davide anali atanena kuti “Aliyense amene adzatsogolere kukathira nkhondo Ayebusi adzakhala mkulu wa asilikali.” Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya ndiye anayamba kupita, motero anakhala mkulu wa asilikali.
7 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
Tsono Davide anakhazikika mu lingamo, ndipo mzindawu anawutcha Mzinda wa Davide.
8 He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
Iye anamanga malo onse ozungulira, kuyambira ku matsitso ozungulira khoma. Ndipo Yowabu anakonzanso mbali ina ya mzindawu.
9 David grew greater and greater, for the LORD of Armies was with him.
Ndipo mphamvu za Davide zinkakulirakulira chifukwa anali ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
10 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the LORD’s word concerning Israel.
Awa ndiye anali atsogoleri amphamvu a Davide. Iwo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse, anathandiza kulimbikitsa ufumu wake kuti ukwanire madera onse, monga momwe Yehova analonjezera.
11 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.
Nawa mayina a ankhondo amphamvu a Davide: Yasobeamu Mhakimoni anali mkulu wa atsogoleri. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 300 nthawi imodzi.
12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
Wotsatana naye anali Eliezara mwana wa Dodo Mwahohi, mmodzi mwa ankhondo atatu amphamvu.
13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
Iye anali ndi Davide ku Pasi-Damimu pamene Afilisti anasonkhana kudzachita nkhondo. Ankhondo anathawa Afilistiwo pamalo pamene panali munda wodzaza ndi barele.
14 They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
Koma awiriwo anayima pakati pa mundawo. Iwo anawuteteza, nakantha Afilistiwo ndipo Yehova anawapambanitsa koposa.
15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Atatu mwa atsogoleri makumi atatu aja anabwera kwa Davide ku thanthwe ku phanga la Adulamu pamene gulu la Afilisti linali litamanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Refaimu.
16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.
Nthawi imeneyo Davide anali mu linga, ndipo boma la Afilisti linali ku Betelehemu.
17 David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
Davide analakalaka madzi ndipo anati, “Haa, pakanapezeka munthu wokanditungira madzi a mʼchitsime chomwe chili pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu!”
18 The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
Choncho anthu atatuwa anadutsa mizere ya Afilisti, natunga madzi amene anali mʼchitsime chomwe chinali pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu nabwera nawo kwa Davide. Koma iye anakana kumwa. Mʼmalo mwake anathira pansi pamaso pa Yehova.
19 and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
Iye anati, “Inu Mulungu, musalole kuti ine ndichite chinthu ichi! Kodi ndimwe magazi a anthu amene anayika miyoyo yawo pachiswe?” Chifukwa iwo anayika miyoyo yawo pachiswe kuti abweretse madziwo, Davide sanamwe. Zimenezi ndi zimene anachita anthu amphamvu atatuwo.
20 Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name amongst the three.
Abisai mʼbale wa Yowabu ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa anthu atatuwa. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 300. Choncho iyeyo anali wotchuka pakati pa anthu atatu aja.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.
Iye analandira ulemu woposa atatuwo. Kotero anakhala mtsogoleri wawo ngakhale kuti iyeyo sanali mʼgulu la anthu atatu aja.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada wa ku Kabizeeli anali munthu wolimba mtima amene anachita zinthu zamphamvu. Iye anakantha ankhondo awiri otchuka a ku Mowabu. Tsiku lina kukuzizira kwambiri, iye analowa mʼdzenje ndi kuphamo mkango.
23 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
Ndipo iye anakanthanso Mwigupto amene anali wotalika mamita awiri ndi theka. Ngakhale kuti Mwiguptoyo anali ndi mkondo wofanana ndi ndodo yowombera nsalu mʼdzanja mwake, Benaya anapita kukamenyana naye ali ndi chibonga chokha mʼmanja. Iye analanda mkondo mʼdzanja la Mwiguptoyo ndi kumupha ndi mkondo wake womwe.
24 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name amongst the three mighty men.
Izi ndi zamphamvu zimene Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anachita. Iyeyo analinso wotchuka ngati anthu atatu amphamvu aja.
25 Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.
Iye ankalemekezedwa kuposa wina aliyense mwa anthu makumi atatu, koma sanali mʼgulu la anthu atatu aja. Ndipo Davide anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira asilikali omuteteza.
