1 Maũndũ 11
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩcookanĩrĩra harĩ Daudi kũu Hebironi, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthiimo na thakame yaku.
Then did all Israel gather themselves unto David unto Hebron, saying Behold, thy bone and thy flesh are we.
2 Ihinda rĩrĩa rĩhĩtũkĩte, o na Saũlũ arĩ o mũthamaki, wee nĩwe ũratongoragia Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ ciao. Nake Jehova Ngai waku agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwe ũkaarĩithia andũ akwa Isiraeli, na nĩũgatuĩka mwathi wao.’”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri othe a Isiraeli magĩthiĩ Hebironi kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi, nake Daudi akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nao mbere ya Jehova o kũu Hebironi, nao magĩitĩrĩria Daudi maguta mũtwe atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eranĩire na kanua ga Samũeli.
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 Daudi hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu, o kũu gwetagwo Jebusi. Nao Ajebusi arĩa maatũũraga kũu
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; and there were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
5 makĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩtoonya gũkũ.” No rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩagĩtunyanire gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya gĩa Zayuni, Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
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 Daudi oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũgũtongoria mbaara ya kũhũũra Ajebusi nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũnene wa thigari ciothe.” Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩwe waambire kwambata, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wa thigari.
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 Daudi agĩgĩtũũra gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na rũthingo rwa hinya, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩgĩtwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
And David dwelt in the castle: therefore they called it, “The City of David.”
8 Nake agĩaka itũũra inene rĩthiũrũrũkĩirie gĩikaro kĩu, kuuma benji-inĩ nginya rũthingo-inĩ rũrĩa rwakĩrigiicĩirie, nake Joabu agĩcookereria mĩena ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya itũũra rĩu inene.
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 Daudi agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na ũhoti mũingĩ, tondũ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aarĩ hamwe nake.
And David want on, and became greater and greater, and the lord of hosts was with him.
10 Aya nĩo maarĩ anene a andũ arĩa njamba a Daudi, o ene hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe, nĩmatirĩrĩire ũthamaki wake na hinya nĩguo ũtheereme bũrũri wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire.
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 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ acio maarĩ njamba a Daudi: Jashobeamu ũrĩa Mũhakimoni nake aarĩ mũtongoria wa anene; nĩwe woire itimũ rĩake ahũũrane na andũ 300, nake akĩmooraga mbaara-inĩ ĩmwe.
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 Mũnini wake eetagwo Eleazaru mũrũ wa Dodo ũrĩa Mũahohi, ũmwe wa andũ atatũ arĩa maarĩ njamba.
And after him was El'asar the son of Dodo, the Achochite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 Nake aarĩ hamwe na Daudi kũu Pasi-Damimu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afilisti moonganĩte marũe nao. Maarĩ handũ haarĩ mũgũnda waiyũire cairi, nacio thigari ikĩũrĩra Afilisti.
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 No-o nĩmaregeire gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Makĩũgitĩra, na makĩũraga Afilisti, nake Jehova akĩmahe ũhootani mũnene.
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 Anene atatũ a acio mĩrongo ĩtatũ, nĩmaikũrũkire magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi ihiga-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩarĩ ngurunga-inĩ ya Adulamu, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbũtũ ya Afilisti yaambĩte hema Kĩanda kĩa Refaimu.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩrũmu nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.
And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then at Beth-lechem.
17 Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ magĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ ka ita rĩa Afilisti, magĩtaha maaĩ gĩthima-inĩ kĩu kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu, na makĩmatwarĩra Daudi. No Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua; akĩmaita mbere ya Jehova.
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 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arogiria njĩke ũguo! No ngĩnyue thakame ya andũ aya mathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ?” Tondũ nĩmathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ nĩguo mamarehe-rĩ, Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua. Maũndũ ta macio nĩmo meekagwo nĩ njamba icio ithatũ.
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 Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa acio Atatũ. Nake akĩoya itimũ rĩake, agĩtharĩkĩra andũ magana matatũ, akĩmooraga, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa igweta o ta acio Atatũ.
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 Nĩatĩĩkire mũno gũkĩra acio angĩ Atatũ na agĩtuĩka mwathi wao o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.
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 Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada aarĩ mũrũi njamba wa kuuma Kabizeeli, ũrĩa wekire maũndũ manene ma ũcamba. Nĩooragire njamba nene igĩrĩ cia ita cia Moabi. Ningĩ nĩatoonyire irima mũthenya warĩ na tharunji, na akĩũraga mũrũũthi.
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 Na nĩooragire Mũmisiri warĩ wa ũraihu wa buti mũgwanja na nuthu. O na gũtuĩka Mũmisiri ũcio nĩanyiitĩte itimũ rĩaiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora, Benaia akĩmũtharĩkĩra na njũgũma. Akĩhuria itimũ kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũũraga na itimũ rĩu rĩake.
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 Macio nĩmo maũndũ ma ũcamba marĩa mekirwo nĩ Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada. O nake aarĩ igweta o ta andũ arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba.
These things did Benayah the son of Jehoyada'; and he had a name among the mighty men.
25 Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.
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.
26 Andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba maarĩ: Asaheli mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu, na Elihanani mũrũ wa Dodo wa kuuma Bethilehemu,
