1 Istwa 12
1 Alò, sila yo se sila ki te vin kote David Tsiklag yo, lè li te toujou jennen akoz Saül, fis a Kish la. Yo te pami mesye pwisan ki te ede nan gè yo.
Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.
2 Yo te pote banza, te voye wòch avèk fistibal ni sou men dwat, ni sou men goch, e tire flèch yo ak banza a. Se te fanmi a Saul, soti nan tribi Benjamin an.
They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.
3 Chèf la te Achiézer, swivi pa Joas, fis a Schemaa a, Gibeonit lan; Jeziel ak Péleth, fis a Azmaveth yo; epi Beraca; Jéhu, Anatotit la;
Ahiezer was their chief, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Beracah and Jehu the Anathothite;
4 Jischmaeia, Gabaonit lan, yon mesye pwisan pami trant yo, e tèt a trant yo, epi Jérémie; Jachaziel; Jochannan'; Jozabad, Guedérait la;
And Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a great man among the thirty, and their chief; and Jeremiah and Jehaziel and Johanan and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 Éluzaï; Jerimoth; Bealia; Schemaria; Schephathia, Awofit la;
Eluzai and Jerimoth and Bealiah and Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 Elkana, Jeschija, Azareel, Joézer ak Jaschobeam, Koreyit yo;
Elkanah and Isshiah and Azarel and Joezer and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Soti nan Gadit yo, te antre rive kote David nan fò dezè a, mesye pwisan avèk anpil kouraj ki te fè antrenman pou fè lagè, ki te konn manyen boukliye avèk lans, avèk figi yo tankou figi a lyon, e yo vit tankou antilòp nan mòn.
And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;
9 Ézer, chèf la, Abdias, dezyèm nan, Éliab, twazyèm nan,
Ezer their chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mischmanna, katriyèm nan, Jérémie, senkyèm nan,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attaï, sizyèm nan, Éliel, setyèm nan,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Jochanan, uityèm nan, Elzabad, nevyèm nan,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jérémie, dizyèm nan, Macbannaï, onzyèm nan.
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14 Sila yo se fis a Gad ki te kapitèn lame a; sila ki te pi piti a te egal a yon santèn moun e pifò a, a yon milye.
These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 Sila yo se sila ki te travèse Jourdain an nan premye mwa lè tout bò rivyè li yo t ap debòde yo. Yo te chase fè pran flit tout sila ki te nan vale yo, nan lès ak nan lwès.
It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Konsa, kèk nan fis a Benjamin yo te vin rive nan fò a David la.
And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.
17 David te sòti pou rankontre yo. Li te di yo: “Si se nan lapè nou vin kote mwen, pou ede m, kè m va reyini ansanm avèk nou. Men si se pou trayi mwen a advèsè mwen yo, akoz nanpwen mal nan men m, ke Bondye a zansèt nou yo gade sou sa pou deside.”
And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.
18 Alò, Lespri a te vini sou Amasaï, ki te chèf a trant yo, “Nou se pa w, O David, Epi avèk ou, O fis a Jesse a! Lapè, lapè a ou menm Epi lapè avèk sila ki ede ou! Anverite, Bondye ou a ap ede ou!” Konsa David te resevwa yo e te fè yo kapitèn nan ekip la.
Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.
19 Soti nan Manassé, osi, kèk moun te vin jwenn David lè li t ap prepare fè batay avèk Filisten yo kont Saül. Men yo pa t ede yo, paske chèf Filisten apre yo te konsilte ansanm, e te voye li ale. Yo te di: “Avèk pri a pwòp tèt nou, li kapab fè defo a mèt li, Saul.”
And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.
20 Lè l te ale Tsiklag, men moun Manassé ki te parèt yo: Adnach, Jozabad, Jediaël, Micaël, Jozabad, Élihu ak Tsilthaï, chèf a dè milye nan Manassé yo.
Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.
21 Yo te ede David kont bann piyajè yo, paske yo tout te mesye pwisan, plen ak kouraj e te kapitèn nan lame a.
And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.
22 Paske jou apre jou, moun te vin kote David pou ede l, jiskaske te gen yon gwo lame tankou lame Bondye a.
And from day to day more supporters came to David, till he had a great army like the army of God.
23 Alò sila yo se nonb nan divizyon ki te prepare pou fè lagè a, nonb ki te vin kote David Hébron pou vire wayòm Saul vè li menm, selon pawòl a SENYÈ a.
These are the numbers of the chiefs of the armed men, ready for war, who came to David at Hebron, to give the kingdom of Saul into his hands, as the Lord had said.
24 Fis a Juda ki te pote boukliye avèk lans yo te si-mil-ui-san, byen prepare pou fè lagè.
There were six thousand, eight hundred spearmen of the children of Judah, armed for war;
25 Nan fis a Siméon yo, mesye plen ak kouraj pou fè lagè yo, sèt-mil-san.
Seven thousand, one hundred of the children of Simeon, great men of war;
26 Nan fis a Lévi yo, kat-mil-sis-san.
Of the children of Levi, four thousand, six hundred.
27 Alò, Jehojada, prens lakay Aaron an e avèk li, te gen twa-mil-sèt-san,
And Jehoiada, chief of the family of Aaron, and with him three thousand, seven hundred men;
28 anplis, Tsadok, gèrye plen ak kouraj la e lakay papa l te gen venn-de kapitèn.
And Zadok, a young man, great and strong in war, with twenty-two captains from his father's people.
29 Nan fis Benjamin yo, fanmi a Saül la, twa-mil, paske jis moman sa a, pifò nan yo te rete fidèl a lakay Saul.
And of the children of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand; for up to that time the greater part of them had been true to Saul.
30 Nan fis Éphraïm yo, ven-mil-ui-san mesye pwisan avèk anpil kouraj, byen koni lakay zansèt pa yo.
And of the children of Ephraim, twenty thousand, eight hundred great men of war, men of great name in their families.
31 Nan mwatye tribi Manassé a, diz-ui-mil ki te enskri pa non pou vin fè David wa.
And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, listed by name, came to make David king.
32 Nan fis a Issacar yo, mesye ki te konprann tan yo, avèk konesans a sa ke Israël ta dwe fè, chèf pa yo te de-san; epi tout fanmi yo te sou kòmann pa yo.
And of the children of Issachar, there were two hundred chiefs, men who had expert knowledge of the times and what it was best for Israel to do, and all their brothers were under their orders.
33 Nan Zabulon, te gen senkant-mil moun ki te parèt nan lame a ki te konn ranje kò yo nan fòmasyon batay avèk tout kalite zam lagè pou te ede David avèk kè ki pa t divize menm.
Of Zebulun, there were fifty thousand men, who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight, to give help with all sorts of arms; true-hearted men.
34 Nan Nephthali, te gen mil kapitèn e trant-sèt-mil ladann te gen boukliye avèk lans.
And of Naphtali, a thousand captains with thirty-seven thousand spearmen.
35 Nan Danit ki ta kab ranje nan fòmasyon batay yo, te gen venn-tui-mil-sis-san.
And of the Danites, twenty-eight thousand, six hundred, expert in ordering the fight.
36 Nan Aser, te gen karant-mil ki te sòti nan lame a pou ranje yo nan fòmasyon batay la.
And of Asher, forty thousand who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight.
37 Soti lòtbò Jourdain an, pa Ribenit ak Gadit yo, avèk mwatye tribi Manassé a, te gen san-ven-mil avèk tout zam lagè pou batay la.
From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.
38 Tout sila yo, mesye lagè ki te konn ranje nan fòmasyon batay yo, te vini Hébron avèk yon sèl kè sensè pou fè David wa.
All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.
39 Yo te la pandan twa jou. Yo t ap manje ak bwè, paske fanmi pa yo te gen tan prepare pou yo.
For three days they were there with David, feasting at his table, for their brothers had made ready food for them.
40 Anplis, sila ki te toupre yo, menm rive lwen tankou Issacar, Zabulon ak Nephthali, yo te pote manje sou bourik yo, chamo yo, milèt yo, avèk bèf yo, gran kantite a gato farin, gato fig etranje, anpil rezen, diven, lwil, bèf avèk mouton. Vrèman, te gen lajwa an Israël.
And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.
