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.
And these are those that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, confederates for the war,
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.
Who were armed with bows, and could use both the right and the left hand in [hurling] stones and shooting arrows with the bow, even of the brethren of Saul out 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 chiefs were Achi'ezer, then Joash, the sons of Hashema'ab the Gib'athite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of 'Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the 'Anthothite,
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 Yishma'yah the Gib'onite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jachaziel, and Jochanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite,
5 Elouzayi, Jerimòt, Bealya, Chemarya ak Chefatya, moun lavil Awòf,
El'uzai, and Jerimath, and Be'alyah, and Shemaryahu, and Shephatyahu, the Chariphite,
6 Elkana, Jichija, Azariyèl, Joezè ak Jakobeyam, nan branch fanmi Kore a.
Elkanah, and Yishiyahu, and 'Azarel, and Jo'ezer, and Jashob'am, the Korchites,
7 Joela ak Zebadya, pitit gason Jewokam, moun lavil Gedò.
And Jo'elah, and Zebadyah, the sons of Jerocham 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.
And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the strong-hold in the wilderness mighty men of valor, and men of the army for the war, that could handle shield and lance, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as the roebucks upon the mountains in swiftness.
9 Premye a te rele Ezè, dezyèm lan Obadya, twazyèm lan Eliyab,
'Ezer was the chief, 'Ohadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 katriyèm lan Michmana, senkyèm lan Jeremi,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth.
11 sizyèm lan Atayi, setyèm lan Eliyèl,

12 wityèm lan Jokanan, nevyèm lan Elzabad,
Jochanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 dizyèm lan Jeremi, onzyèm lan Makbanayi.
Jirmiyahu the tenth, Machbanai 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, the chiefs of the army, one of the least could fight with a hundred, and the greatest with 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 those that passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all the men of 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 some of the children of Benjamin and of Judah as far as the strong-hold unto David.
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 commenced and said unto them. If ye be come for peace unto me, to help me, my heart shall be inclined toward you to unite with you; but if it be to betray me to my adversaries while there is no violence in my hands, then may the God of our fathers look on and decide it.
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.
Then a spirit invested 'Amassai, the chief of the captains, [who said, ] Thine are we, David, and with thee, O son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to every one that helpeth thee; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and placed them at the head of the troop.
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 some of Menasseh went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but he helped them not; for upon consultation did the lords of the Philistines send him away, saying, With our heads will he go over 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.
As he was going over to Ziklag, there went over to him of Menasseh, 'Adnach, and Jozabad, and Jedi'ael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands that belonged to Menasseh.
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.
And they were those that helped David against the band [of 'Amelekites]; for they were all mighty men of valor, and they became officers 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'.
For all the time, day by day, people used to come to David to help him, until the camp became great, like the camp 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 these are the numbers of the heads of those ready armed for the host that came to David to Hebron, to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the order of the Lord.

28 Te gen Zadòk tou, yon jenn vanyan gason ak vennde lòt chèf nan fanmi li.
Also Zadok, a young man, mighty of valor, and his family division twenty and two chiefs.
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 children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand; for till that time the greatest part of them had kept the charge of the house of Saul.

And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, men of fame in their family divisions.

And of the half tribe of Menasseh eighteen thousand, who had been expressed by name, to come 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.
And of the children of Issachar, those who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, —their heads were two hundred; and all their brethren were ready at their order.

And from the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh, with all manner of weapons of the host for war, one hundred and twenty thousand.
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, that placed themselves in battle array, came with an entire heart to Hebron, to make David King over all Israel; and also all the rest 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.
And also those that were nigh unto them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought in bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food made of meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
