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] they 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, helpers of the 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 could use both the right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting] arrows out of a bow, [even] of Saul’s brethren 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;

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 of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, [and] men of war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

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 [were] of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least [was] over an hundred, 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.
These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and toward the west.
16 Konsa, kèk nan fis a Benjamin yo te vin rive nan fò a David la.
And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
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 meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me to mine enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke [it].
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 upon Amasai, [who was] chief of the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace [be] to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, 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 there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.
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.
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] 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 helped David against the band [of the rovers: ] for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 Paske jou apre jou, moun te vin kote David pou ede l, jiskaske te gen yon gwo lame tankou lame Bondye a.
For at [that] time day by day there came to David to help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host 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.
And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were] ready armed to the war, [and] came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
24 Fis a Juda ki te pote boukliye avèk lans yo te si-mil-ui-san, byen prepare pou fè lagè.
The children of Judah that bare shield and spear [were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
25 Nan fis a Siméon yo, mesye plen ak kouraj pou fè lagè yo, sèt-mil-san.
Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father’s house twenty and two captains.
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 kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of 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 and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 Nan mwatye tribi Manassé a, diz-ui-mil ki te enskri pa non pou vin fè David wa.
And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and 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, [which were men] that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren [were] at their commandment.
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, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.

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.
And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
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, that could keep rank, 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 te la pandan twa jou. Yo t ap manje ak bwè, paske fanmi pa yo te gen tan prepare pou yo.
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared 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.
Moreover they that were nigh them, [even] unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.
