1 ダビデがキシの子サウルの故によりて尚チクラグに閉こもり居ける時に彼處にゆきてダビデに就し者は左のごとしその人々は勇士の中にしてダビデを助けて戰ひたる者
David went to Ziklag [town] to escape from [King] Saul. While he was there, many warriors came and joined him, and they helped him when he fought battles.
2 能く弓を彎き右左の手を用ゐて善く石を投げ弓矢を發つ者なりしが倶にベニヤミン人にしてサウルの宗族たり
They carried bows [and arrows]. They were able to shoot arrows and to sling stones. They could use either their right arms or their left arms to do that. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
3 首はアヒエゼル次はヨアシ是らはギベア人シマアの子等なり又ヱジエルおよびペレテ是らはアズマウラの子等なり又ベラカおよびアナトテ人ヱヒウ
Their leader was Ahiezer. Next in command was Joash. They were both sons of Shemaah from Gibeah [city]. [These are the names of some of those warriors: ] Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu from Anathoth [town];

Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert. They were brave warriors who were trained for fighting battles and able to use shields and spears well. They [SYN] were as fierce as [SIM, MTY] lions, and they could run as fast as [HYP, SIM] deer/gazelles on the hills/mountains.

14 是等はガドの人々にして軍旅の長たりそ最も小き者は百人に當りその最も大なる者は千人に當れり
Those men from the tribe of Gad were all army officers. Some of them commanded 1,000 soldiers, and some of them commanded 100 soldiers.
15 正月ヨルダンその全岸に溢れたる時に是らの者濟りゆきて谷々に居る者をことごとく東西に打奔らせたり
They crossed [to the west side of] the Jordan [River] during March, [at the time of the year] when the river was flooded. They chased from there all the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
16 茲にベニヤミンとユダの子孫の中の人々砦に來りてダビデに就きけるに
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 ダビデこれを出むかへ應へて之に言けるは汝ら厚志をもて我を助けんとて來れるならば我心なんぢらと相結ばん然ど汝らもし我手に惡きこと有ざるに我を欺きて敵に付さんとせば我らの先祖の神ねがはくは之を監みて責たまへと
David went out [of the cave] to meet them and said to them, “If you have come peacefully to help me, I am eager to have you join with me. But if you have come to enable my enemies to capture me, even though I [SYN] have not done anything to harm you, I hope/wish that the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/belonged to) will see it and condemn/punish you.”
18 時に聖霊三十人の長アマサイに臨みて彼すなはち言けるはダビデよ我らは汝に屬すヱツサイの子よ我らは汝を助けん願くは平安あれ汝にも平安あれ汝を助くる者にも平安あれ汝の神汝を助けたまふなりと是においてダビデ彼らを接いれて軍旅の長となせり
Then [God’s] Spirit came upon Amasai, who was another leader of the thirty [greatest warriors], and he said, “David, we want to be with you; you who are the son of Jesse, we will join you. We know that things will go very well [DOU] for you and for those who are with you, because your God is helping you.”
19 前にダビデ、ペリシテ人とともにサウルと戰はんとて攻きたれる時マナセ人數人ダビデに屬り但しダビデ等は遂にペリシテ人を助けざりき其はペリシテ人の君等あひ謀り彼は我らの首級をもてその主君サウルに歸らんと言て彼を去しめたればなり
So David welcomed those men, and he appointed them to be leaders of his soldiers. Some men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David when he went with the soldiers of Philistia to fight against Saul’s [army]. But David and his men did not really help the army of Philistia. After the leaders of Philistia talked [about David and his soldiers], they sent David away. They said, “If David joins his master Saul again, we will all be killed {his army will kill all of us}!”
20 斯てダビデ、チクラグに往る時マナセ人アデナ、ヨザバデ、ヱデアエル、ミカエル、ヨザバデ、エリウ、ヂルタイこれに歸せり皆マナセ人の千人の長たる者なりき
When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
21 彼等ダビデを助けて敵軍に當れり彼らは皆大勇士にして軍旅の長となれり
They were all brave soldiers, and they helped David to fight against the groups of men who roamed throughout the country, robbing people. So those men became commanders in David’s army.
22 當時ダビデに歸して之を助くる者日々に加はりて終に大軍となり神の軍旅のごとくなれり
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
23 戰爭のために身をよろひヘブロンに來りてダビデに就きヱホバの言のごとくサウルの國をダビデに歸せしめんとしたる武士の數は左のごとし
These are the numbers of soldiers who were ready for battle who joined David at Hebron [city]. They came to help him to become the king of Israel to replace Saul, as Yahweh had promised would happen.

38 是等の行伍を守る軍人等眞實の心を懐きてヘブロンに來りダビデをもてイスラエル全國の王となさんとせり其餘のイスラエル人もまた心を一にしてダビデを王となさんとせり
All those men were soldiers who volunteered to be in David’s army. They came to Hebron wanting very much to enable David to be the king of all of the Israeli people.
39 彼ら彼處に三日をりてダビデとともに食ひかつ飮り其はその兄弟等これがために備をなしたればなり
The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
40 また近處の者よりイツサカル、ゼブルンおよびナフタリの者に至るまでパンと麥粉の食物と乾無花果と乾葡萄と酒と油等を驢馬駱駝牛馬に載きたりかつ牛羊を多く携へいたれり是イスラエルみな喜びたればなり
Also, their fellow Israelis came from as far away as the area where the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali lived, bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought a lot of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, [olive] oil, cattle and sheep. And throughout Israel, the people were very joyful.
