< Kronika 1 11 >

1 Israel ha blibo la va ƒo ƒu ɖe David gbɔ le Hebron eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò ŋutilã kple ʋue míenye.

And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] your bones and your flesh.

2 Tsã esi Saul nye fia gɔ̃ hã la, wòe nye ame si kplɔ Israel le eƒe aʋawɔwɔ katã me eye Yehowa, wò Mawu, gblɔ na wò be, ‘Wòe akplɔ nye dukɔ, Israel eye wòe ava nye woƒe fia.’”

And heretofore when Saul was king, you were he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a ruler over Israel.

3 Esi Israel ƒe dumegãwo va kpe ta le Fia David gbɔ le Hebron la, ebla nu kpli wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume eye wosi ami na David heɖoe fiae ɖe Israel dzi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel ene.

And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

4 Le esia megbe la, David kple Israel blibo la ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem, du si woyɔna tsã be Yebus la ŋu. Yebusitɔwo nye ame siwo nye anyigba la dzi nɔla gbãtɔwo.

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this [is] Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,

5 Wogblɔ na David be, “Màge ɖe afi sia o.” Ke David kple eƒe amewo ɖu wo dzi eye woxɔ Zion mɔ sesẽ la si woyɔna azɔ be, “David ƒe Du.”

You shall not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

6 David gblɔ be, “Ame sia ame si atre Yebusitɔwo sisi la, azu aʋafia.” Yoab, Zeruya ƒe viŋutsu dze Yebusitɔwo dzi gbã eye wòzu aʋafia la.

And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.

7 David nɔ mɔ la me eya ta woyɔa du la ƒe akpa ma be, David ƒe Du.

And David lived in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.

8 Ekeke du la ɖe edzi ƒo xlã mɔ la le esime Yoab gbugbɔ Yerusalem ƒe akpa mamlɛa tu.

And he fortified the city round about.

9 David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la nɔ kplii.

And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.

10 David ƒe aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔtɔwo, ame siwo do ŋusẽ Israel ƒe kplɔlawo be woatsɔ David aɖo fiae abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ be ava eme ene la le ame etɔ̃.

And these [are] the chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened [themselves] with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

11 Wo dometɔ gbãtɔe nye Yasobeam, ŋutsu aɖe si tso Hakmon. Eyae nye Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo, ame siwo nye aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ etɔ̃awo le David ƒe aʋakɔ la me la kplɔla. Ewu ame alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ kple eƒe akplɔ le aʋakpekpe ɖeka me.

And this [is] the list of the mighty [men] of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he killed at one time.

12 Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dometɔ eveliae nye Eleazar, Dodai ƒe vi, ame si nye Ahohitɔ.

And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was amongst the three mighty men.

13 Enɔ David ŋu le aʋa si Israelviwo wɔ kple Filistitɔwo le Pas Damim la me. Lu le agble aɖe me fũ le afi ma. Ke Israel ƒe aʋawɔla bubuawo katã si le Filistitɔwo nu.

He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and [there was] a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.

14 Ke wotɔ ɖe agble la titina, hexɔe eye wowu Filistitɔwo. Yehowa na woɖu dzi gã aɖe.

And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

15 Le ɣe bubu ɣi la, David ƒe aʋafia blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ etɔ̃ yi David gbɔ le esime wòbe ɖe agado aɖe me le Adulam. Filistitɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Refaim balime.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines [was] in the giants' valley.

16 David nɔ mɔ la me eye Filistitɔwo ɖe aʋakɔ ɖo Betlehem le ɣe ma ɣi.

And David [was] then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.

17 David gblɔ kple didi be, “Tsikɔ le wunyem vevie. Oo, ne ame aɖe aku tsi tso vudo si le Betlehem ƒe agbonu la me vɛ nam la anyo ŋutɔ.”

And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?

18 Ke ame etɔ̃awo to Filistitɔwo dome, ku tsi tso vudo si te ɖe Betlehem ƒe agbo ŋu me yi na David. Ke David gbe meno tsi la o, ke boŋ etrɔe kɔ ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume.

And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,

19 Egblɔ be, “Mawu nana nu sia wɔwɔ nate ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye. Ɖe mano ŋutsu siawo, ame siwo de woƒe agbe ke la ƒe ʋua?” Esi wode woƒe agbe xaxa me be woaku tsi la vɛ nɛ ta la, David menoe o.

God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty [men].

20 Abisai, Yoab nɔvi nye amegã na ame etɔ̃awo. Etsɔ eƒe akplɔ wu futɔ alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ ale wòxɔ ŋkɔ abe ame etɔ̃awo ene.

And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name amongst the [second] three.

21 Eyae nye tatɔ kple ame xɔŋkɔ le Ŋutsu Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dome eye wòzu woƒe kplɔla togbɔ be womebui ɖe wo dome o hã.

He was more famous than the two [others] of the three, and he was chief [over] them; yet he reached not to the [first] three.

22 Benaya Yehoiada ƒe vi, ame si fofo nye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖe tso Kabzeel la, wu ame dzɔtsu xɔŋkɔ eve siwo nɔ Moab nyigba dzi. Emegbe la, egawu dzata le do aɖe me gbe si gbe sno dza.

And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many [were] his acts for Cabasael: he struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and struck a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

23 Eye wòwu Egiptetɔ aɖe, ame si ƒe kɔkɔme anɔ mita eve kple afã. Togbɔ be Egiptetɔ la lé akplɔ si tri abe abaladoti ene ɖe asi hã la, Benaya lũ ɖe edzi kple kpo, dui le esi eye wòtsɔ Egiptetɔ la ŋutɔ ƒe akplɔ wui.

And he struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits [high]; and in the hand of the Egyptian [there was] a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 Nu siawoe Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi wɔ. Eya hã xɔ ŋkɔ abe ame sesẽ etɔ̃awo ene.

These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name [was] amongst the three mighties.

25 Wobunɛ wu ame xɔŋkɔ Blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gake womedee ame Etɔ̃awo dome o. Ke David tsɔe ɖo eŋudzɔlawo nu.

He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the [first] three: and David set him over his family.

26 Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ bubu siwo nɔ David ƒe aʋakɔ la me woe nye: Asahel, Yoab nɔvi; Elhanan, Dodo ƒe vi tso Betlehem;

And the mighty [men] of the forces [were], Asael the brother of Joab, Eleanan the son of Dodoe of Bethleem,

27 Samɔt Haroritɔ, Helez, Pelɔnitɔ,

Samaoth the Arorite, Chelles the Phelonite,

28 Ira, Ikes ƒe vi tso Tekoa; Abiezer, tso Anatɔt;

Ora the son of Ekkis the Thecoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,

29 Sibekai tso Husat; Ilai Ahohitɔ;

Sobochai the Usathite, Eli the Achonite,
