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 those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in 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.
They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe 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, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the 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.
Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 Elouzayi, Jerimòt, Bealya, Chemarya ak Chefatya, moun lavil Awòf,
Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 Elkana, Jichija, Azariyèl, Joezè ak Jakobeyam, nan branch fanmi Kore a.
Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
7 Joela ak Zebadya, pitit gason Jewokam, moun lavil Gedò.
and Joelah and Zebadiah, 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.
Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
9 Premye a te rele Ezè, dezyèm lan Obadya, twazyèm lan Eliyab,
Ezer the chief, Obadiah 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,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 wityèm lan Jokanan, nevyèm lan Elzabad,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 dizyèm lan Jeremi, onzyèm lan Makbanayi.
Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai 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 of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one 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 who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived 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.
Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to 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.
David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke 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 the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then 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.
Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they didn’t help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
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 went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
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.
They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains 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 from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
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.
These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the LORD’s word.
24 Nan branch fanmi Jida a, similwisan (6.800) gason avèk plak pwotèj yo ak frenn yo, tout byen pare pou fè lagè.
The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.
25 Nan branch fanmi Simeyon an, sètmilsan (7.100) vanyan sòlda byen pare pou fè lagè.
Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.
26 Nan branch fanmi Levi a, katmilsisan (4.600),
Of the children of Levi: four thousand six hundred.
27 plis twamilsètsan (3.700) nan fanmi Mawon an ak Jeojada alatèt yo.
Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,
28 Te gen Zadòk tou, yon jenn vanyan gason ak vennde lòt chèf nan fanmi li.
and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.
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.
Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.
30 Nan branch fanmi Efrayim lan, venmilwisan (20.800) vanyan sòlda. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo nan fanmi yo.
Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.
31 Nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, dizwimil (18.000) gason yo te chwazi pou al mete David wa sou fotèy la.
Of the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and 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.
Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
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.
Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.
34 Nan branch fanmi Neftali a, mil (1000) chèf ansanm ak trannsètmil (37.000) gason ak plak pwotèj ak frenn.

Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array: forty thousand.
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.
On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle: one hundred 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 were men of war who could order the battle array, and 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.
They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions 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 those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
