1 Istwa 12
1 Lè David t'ap viv lavil Ziklag kote li te al kache pou Sayil, pitit gason Kich la, pa jwenn li, yon bann vanyan sòlda te vin jwenn li la pou ba l' konkou nan lagè a.
Now these are they that came to David to Siceleg, while he yet fled from Saul the son of Cia, and they were most valiant and excellent warriors,
2 Yo tout te gen banza. Yo te gen ladrès pou voye wòch ak pou tire flèch ni ak men gòch ni ak men dwat. Se te moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te ye tankou Sayil.
Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin.
3 Alatèt yo te gen Akyezè ak Joas, pitit gason Chema, moun lavil Gibeya, Jezyèl ak Pelèt, pitit gason Azmavèt, Beraka ak Jeou, moun lavil Anatòt,
The chief was Ahiezer, and Joas, the sons of Samaa of Gabaath, and Jaziel, and Phallet the sons of Azmoth, and Beracha, and Jehu an Anathothite.
4 Jismaja, moun lavil Gabawon, yonn nan trant vanyan sòlda yo ak yonn nan chèf yo, Jeremi, Jakazyèl, Joanan ak Jozabad, moun lavil Gedera.
And Samaias of Gabaon, the stoutest amongst the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremias, and Jeheziel, and Johanan, and Jezabad of Gaderoth;
5 Elouzayi, Jerimòt, Bealya, Chemarya ak Chefatya, moun lavil Awòf,
And Eluzai, and Jerimuth, and Baalia, and Samaria, and Saphatia the Haruphite;
6 Elkana, Jichija, Azariyèl, Joezè ak Jakobeyam, nan branch fanmi Kore a.
Elcana, and Jesia, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jesbaam of Carehim:
7 Joela ak Zebadya, pitit gason Jewokam, moun lavil Gedò.
And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Konsa tou, nan branch fanmi Gad la, te gen moun ki te pati al jwenn David lè li te nan fò nan dezè a. Se te yon bann vanyan sòlda ki te gen ladrès nan fè lagè. Yo tout te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn. Yo te move tankou lyon, yo te konn kouri tankou kabrit nan mòn.
From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roebucks on the mountains.
9 Premye a te rele Ezè, dezyèm lan Obadya, twazyèm lan Eliyab,
Ezer the chief, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,
10 katriyèm lan Michmana, senkyèm lan Jeremi,
Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth.
11 sizyèm lan Atayi, setyèm lan Eliyèl,
Ethi the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 wityèm lan Jokanan, nevyèm lan Elzabad,
Johanan the eighth, Elzebad the ninth,
13 dizyèm lan Jeremi, onzyèm lan Makbanayi.
Jerenias the tenth, Machbani the eleventh,
14 Mesye branch fanmi Gad yo te chèf nan lame a. Pi piti ladan yo a te vo san (100) sòlda, pi gran an te vo mil (1000) sòlda.
These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 Se yo menm ki te janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an yon lè larivyè a t'ap desann nan premye mwa lanne a. Lèfini, yo fè tout moun ki te rete nan fon yo mete deyò, ni sou bò solèy leve, ni sou bò solèy kouche.
These are they who passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is used to how over its banks: and they put to flight all that dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward the west.
16 Nan branch fanmi Benjamen ak branch fanmi Jida yo te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David jouk nan fò kote l' te kache a.
And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.
17 David soti al kontre yo, li di yo: -Si se an zanmi nou vini pou ede m', m' byen kontan nou vin jwenn mwen. Men, si se pou nou trayi m' bay moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, mwen menm mwen konnen mwen pa fè ankenn mechanste, mwen lapriyè Bondye ak tout kè m'. Bondye zansèt nou yo va wè sa, se li ki va pini nou.
And David went out to meet them, and said: If you are come peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands, let the God of our fathers see, and judge.
18 Lè sa a, lespri Bondye desann sou Amasayi, chèf trant vanyan yo, li di byen fò: -Nou la avè ou, David! Nou kanpe avè ou, pitit Izayi! Kè poze pou ou ak pou moun k'ap ede ou yo! Paske Bondye te pote ou sekou! Lè sa a, David resevwa yo, li mete yo chèf nan lame li a.
But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 Nan branch fanmi Manase a, te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David lè li te mete tèt ansanm ak moun Filisti yo pou goumen ak Sayil. Men, lè sa a, David pa t' bay moun Filisti yo ankenn konkou. Lè gwo chèf moun Filisti yo reyini pou koze sou zafè a, yo te pran desizyon di l' non mèsi, paske yo t'ap di li ta ka vann yo pou li te ka byen anko ak Sayil, mèt li.
And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master Saul.
20 Men moun nan branch fanmi Manase a ki te vin mete tèt ansanm ak David apre li te tounen lavil Ziglag. Se te Adnak, Jozabad, Jedyayèl, Mikayèl, Jozabad, Eliyou ak Siltayi, ki te chèf rejiman mil sòlda laba nan peyi Manase.
So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.
21 Se yo menm ki te ede David ansanm ak lame a, paske se te yon bann vanyan sòlda. Apre sa, yo te gwo chèf nan lame a.
These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.
22 Se chak jou moun t'ap vin jwenn David pou ede l'. Se konsa li vin gen yon gwo lame ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.
Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.
23 Men kantite moun avèk zam pou fè lagè ki te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon pou renmèt li gouvènman an nan plas Sayil, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.
And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to the word of the Lord.
24 Nan branch fanmi Jida a, similwisan (6.800) gason avèk plak pwotèj yo ak frenn yo, tout byen pare pou fè lagè.
The sons of Juda bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred well appointed to war.
25 Nan branch fanmi Simeyon an, sètmilsan (7.100) vanyan sòlda byen pare pou fè lagè.
Of the sons of Simeon valiant men for war, seven thousand one hundred.
26 Nan branch fanmi Levi a, katmilsisan (4.600),
Of the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred.
27 plis twamilsètsan (3.700) nan fanmi Mawon an ak Jeojada alatèt yo.
And Joiada prince of the race of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred.
28 Te gen Zadòk tou, yon jenn vanyan gason ak vennde lòt chèf nan fanmi li.
Sadoc also a young man of excellent disposition, and the house of his father, twenty-two principal men.
29 Nan branch fanmi Benjamen an, fanmi Sayil la menm, twamil (3.000) gason. Pifò nan moun fanmi Benjamen yo te kanpe toujou avèk Sayil.
And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul.
30 Nan branch fanmi Efrayim lan, venmilwisan (20.800) vanyan sòlda. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo nan fanmi yo.
And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of great valour renowned in their kindreds.
31 Nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, dizwimil (18.000) gason yo te chwazi pou al mete David wa sou fotèy la.
And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one by their names, came to make David king.
32 Nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moun ki te fò nan konnen sa pou pèp Izrayèl la fè ak lè pou yo fè l', desan (200) chèf ansanm ak tout gason nan branch fanmi an ki te sou kòmandman yo.
Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all the rest of the tribe followed their counsel.
33 Nan branch fanmi Zabilon an, senkantmil (50.000) sòlda ki konn mache fè lagè avèk tout kalite zam, epi ki te soti pou ede David ak tout kè yo.
And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his aid, with no double heart.
34 Nan branch fanmi Neftali a, mil (1000) chèf ansanm ak trannsètmil (37.000) gason ak plak pwotèj ak frenn.
And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear.
35 Nan branch fanmi Dann lan ventwimilsisan (28.600) sòlda.
Of Dan also twenty-eight thousand six hundred prepared for battle.
36 Nan branch fanmi Asè a, karantmil (40.000) sòlda ki konn mache fè lagè.
And of Aser forty thousand going forth to fight, and challenging in battle.
37 Lèfini, nan branch fanmi Woubenn lan, nan branch fanmi Gad la, ak nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a ki te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an te gen sanvenmil (120.000) gason ak tout kalite zam.
And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty thousand, furnished with arms for war.
38 Tout sòlda sa yo, ki te tou pare pou fè lagè, te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon ak tout kè yo. Yo te soti pou yo te fè l' wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout rès pèp Izrayèl la te vini ak menm lide a tou: fè David wa.
All these men of war well appointed to fight, 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.
39 Yo pase twa jou la ansanm ak David, yo t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, paske moun Izrayèl parèy yo te pare tout bagay pou yo.
And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Lèfini, moun soti nan tout vwazinaj la, jouk nan peyi Isaka, peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali, yo pote manje sou bourik, sou chamo, sou milèt ak sou bèf. Te gen pwovizyon farin frans, gato, fig frans, grap rezen chèch, diven, lwil ak kantite bèf, mouton ak kabrit. Tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap fè fèt nan tout peyi a.
Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought leaves on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.
