< 1 Ihe E Mere 11 >

1 Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute Devid na Hebrọn sị ya, “Lee, ọkpụkpụ gị na anụ ahụ gị ka anyị bụ.

And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bones and thy flesh.

2 Nʼoge gara aga, ọ bụladị mgbe Sọl bụ eze, ọ bụ gị duuru ndị agha Izrel nʼọgụ niile, ma ọpụpụ ma mbata. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, sịrị gị, ‘Ị ga-azụ ndị m, bụ Izrel, ị ga-abụkwa onye ga-achị ha.’”

And heretofore when Saul was king, thou wast he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a ruler over Israel.

3 Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịakwutere eze Devid na Hebrọn, ya na ha gbara ndụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na Hebrọn. Ha tere ya mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa site nʼọnụ Samuel.

And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

4 Devid na ndị Izrel zọọrọ ije garuo Jerusalem nke bụ Jebus. Ma ndị Jebus bi nʼebe ahụ,

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this [is] Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,

5 gwara Devid sị, “Ị gaghị abata nʼebe a.” Nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, Devid dọtara ebe ahụ e wusiri ike nke Zayọn nʼagha, ya bụ obodo Devid.

Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

6 Devid ekwuolarị sị, “Onye ọbụla buru ụzọ buo agha megide ndị Jebus ga-abụ onyeisi ọchịagha ndị agha.” Joab nwa Zeruaya bụ onye mbụ gara, nʼihi ya, o nwetara ike ịbụ ọchịagha.

And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.

7 Devid biiri nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji akpọ ya obodo Devid.

And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.

8 O wuru obodo gburugburu ya, site na Milo ruo na mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu. Ma Joab wuzikwara akụkụ obodo ahụ nke fọdụrụ.

And he fortified the city round about.

9 Ma Devid gara nʼihu na-adị ukwuu karịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nọnyeere ya.

And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.

10 Ndị a bụ ndịisi ndị dike nʼetiti ndị agha Devid. Ha na ndị Izrel niile nyere ịchị eze Devid ezi nkwado ime ka ọchịchị ya ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa.

And these [are] the chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened [themselves] with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

11 Nke a bụ ndekọ ọnụọgụgụ ndị dike nʼagha Devid nwere: Jashobeam, onye Hakmon, bụ onyeisi nʼetiti ndịisi ndị ọzọ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, bụ ndị o gburu nʼotu mgbe ibu agha.

And this [is] the list of the mighty [men] of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he slew at one time.

12 Onye nke na-eso ya bụ Elieza nwa Dodayi, onye Ahohi, onye bụ otu nʼime ndị dike atọ ndị ahụ.

And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among the three mighty men.

13 Ya na Devid nọ na Pas Damin mgbe ndị Filistia zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ ibu agha. Nʼotu ebe, nke e nwere otu ubi jupụtara nʼọka balị, ma ndị agha Izrel si nʼọgbọ agha gbapụ ọsọ nʼihi ndị Filistia.

He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and [there was] a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.

14 Ma ha were ọnọdụ ha nʼetiti ubi ahụ, ha napụtara ya, tigbuo ndị Filistia niile ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyere mmeri dị ukwuu.

And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

15 Mmadụ atọ nʼime iri ndịisi agha atọ ahụ jekwuru Devid na nkume dị nʼọgba Adulam, na mgbe otù ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines [was] in the giants' valley.

16 Ma Devid nọ nʼebe ahụ ewusiri ike nʼoge ahụ, ma ọnọdụ ndị agha ndị Filistia dị na Betlehem.

And David [was] then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.

17 Agụụ mmiri gụrụ Devid nke ukwuu, ọ sị, “Ọ ga-amasị m ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere onye ga-ekunye m mmiri ọṅụṅụ site nʼolulu mmiri dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem!”

And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?

18 Ya mere, ha atọ wakpuru ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, seta mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem, bulatara ya Devid. Ma Devid jụrụ ịṅụ ya, kama ọ wufuru ya nʼala dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị, kwuo sị,

And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,

19 “Chineke ekwela ka m mee nke a. M ga-aṅụ ọbara ndị ikom a, bụ ndị ji ndụ ha chụọ aja nʼihi ikute mmiri a?” Nʼihi na ha ji ndụ ha chụọ aja ịga kute ya, Devid ekweghị aṅụ ya. Nke a bụ ụdị ike dike atọ ahụ kpara.

God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty [men].

20 Abishai, nwanne Joab bụ onyeisi ndị ikom atọ ahụ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, tigbukwaa ha niile. Nʼihi nke a, ọ ghọrọ onye a ma ama dịka mmadụ atọ ndị a.

And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the [second] three.

21 Nʼetiti mmadụ atọ ahụ, a na-asọpụrụ ya karịa, ọ ghọrọ onyeisi ha. Ọ bụ ezie na-agụnyeghị ya dịka otu onye nʼime ha.

He was more famous than the two [others] of the three, and he was chief [over] them; yet he reached not to the [first] three.

22 Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, onye si Kabzeel, bụ dike nʼagha, kpara ike dị ukwuu. O tigburu dimkpa abụọ ndị Moab, ndị bụ ọkaka nʼagha. O rịdakwukwara ọdụm nʼime olulu na-amị amị nʼụbọchị mkpụrụ mmiri na-ezo, gbuo ya.

And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many [were] his acts for Cabasael: he smote two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and smote a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

23 O tigburu otu nwoke onye Ijipt, nke ogologo ya dị mita abụọ na ọkara. Ọ bụ ezie na onye Ijipt ahụ ji ùbe buru ezigbo ibu nʼaka, nke okporo ya dịka nke onye na-ekwe akwa ji ekwe akwa, ma Benaya ji naanị mkpọ jekwuru ya, pụnara onye Ijipt ahụ ùbe dị ya nʼaka, jiri ya magbuo ya.

And he smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits [high]; and in the hand of the Egyptian [there was] a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24 Nke a bụ ụdị ike Benaya nwa Jehoiada kpara. Ya onwe ya nwekwara aha dịka ndị dike atọ ahụ.

These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name [was] among the three mighties.

25 A na-asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nʼetiti iri dike atọ ndị ahụ, ma o rughị ogugo ndị dike atọ mbụ ahụ. Devid mere ya onyeisi ndị na-eche ya nche.

He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the [first] three: and David set him over his family.

26 Ndị bụ dike nʼagha bụ ndị a: Asahel nwanne Joab, Elhanan nwa Dodo onye Betlehem,

And the mighty [men] of the forces [were], Asael the brother of Joab, Eleanan the son of Dodoe of Bethleem,

27 Shamot onye Haroa, Helez onye Pelon,

Samaoth the Arorite, Chelles the Phelonite,
