< 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.

THEN all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone 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 moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people 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.

Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David 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 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

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.

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which 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, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was 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 castle; therefore they 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 built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

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

So David waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hosts 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.

These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and 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 number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him 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 was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

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 at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from 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 they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by 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.

Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

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 Philistines’ garrison was then at Beth-lehem.

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, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at 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 brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the Lord,

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.

And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

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 Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the 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.

Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained 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.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in 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 slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked 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 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name 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.

Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

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

Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

28 Ira nwa Ikesh, onye Tekoa, Abieza onye Anatot,
