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.
Then did all Israel gather themselves unto David unto Hebron, saying Behold, thy bone and thy flesh are we.
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.’”
Already yesterday and even before, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord, thy God, said unto thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be truly a chief over my people 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.
Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David as king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through means of 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 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; and there were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
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.”
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David captured the strong-hold of Zion, the same 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, Whosoever doth smite the Jebusites at first shall be head and chief. Then did Joab the son of Zeruyah go up at first, and became head-man.
7 David nɔ mɔ la me eya ta woyɔa du la ƒe akpa ma be, David ƒe Du.
And David dwelt in the castle: therefore they 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 built the city round about, even from the Millo as far as the surrounding district, and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la nɔ kplii.
And David want on, and became greater and greater, and the lord of hosts 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.
These also are the principals of the mighty men whom David had, who held firmly 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 number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashoh'am, the son of Chachmoni, the chief of the captains, who lifted up his spear against three hundred slain at one time.
12 Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dometɔ eveliae nye Eleazar, Dodai ƒe vi, ame si nye Ahohitɔ.
And after him was El'asar the son of Dodo, the Achochite, who was one of 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 at Pass-dammim, and the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.
14 Ke wotɔ ɖe agble la titina, hexɔe eye wowu Filistitɔwo. Yehowa na woɖu dzi gã aɖe.
And they placed themselves in the midst of that piece [of ground], and they delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord helped [them] with a great victory.
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 these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down to the rock to David, to the cave of 'Adullam; and the camp of the Philistines was pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
16 David nɔ mɔ la me eye Filistitɔwo ɖe aʋakɔ ɖo Betlehem le ɣe ma ɣi.
And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then at Beth-lechem.
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, Oh that some one would bring me water to drink out of the well of Beth-lechem, which is by 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 drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, which was by the gate, and carried it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
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.
And he said, Far be it from me, before my God, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives did they bring it; and thus 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 Abshai the brother of Joab was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the 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.
Of the three, he was more honored than the two, wherefore he became their captain; he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
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.
Banayah the son of Jehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts, of Kah-zeel: he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed.
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 smote an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew 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 Benayah the son of Jehoyada'; and he had a name among the mighty men.
25 Wobunɛ wu ame xɔŋkɔ Blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gake womedee ame Etɔ̃awo dome o. Ke David tsɔe ɖo eŋudzɔlawo nu.
Behold, he was indeed more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to the first three. And David appointed him over his private council.
