1 Na tango oyo Davidi akimaki na Tsikilagi mpo na kobombama Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kishi, bato bayaki kosangana na ye. Bazalaki basoda ya mpiko oyo babongami mpo na kosalisa ye na bitumba.
Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
2 Bazalaki kobunda na batolotolo mpe kosalela malamu loboko ya mwasi mpe ya mobali mpo na kobwaka mabanga mpe kobeta bambanzi ya batolotolo. Bazalaki bato ya ekolo moko na Saulo: ekolo ya Benjame.
They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.

Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
9 Ezeri azalaki mokonzi na bango; Abidiasi, mokonzi ya mibale; Eliabi, mokonzi ya misato;

These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
15 Ezalaki bango nde bakatisaki mayi ya Yordani, na sanza ya liboso, tango mayi ya ebale etondaki makasi na bangambo nyonso, mpe bakimisaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda na mabwaku, ezala na ngambo ya este to ya weste.
These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
16 Bato mosusu ya libota ya Benjame mpe ya Yuda bayaki lisusu kosangana na Davidi na ndako na ye ya makasi.
Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
17 Davidi abimaki mpo na kokutana na bango mpe alobaki: « Soki boyei epai na ngai na makanisi ya kimia mpo ete bosunga ngai, wana ngai mpe bino tokosala boyokani; kasi soki boyei mpo na koteka ngai epai ya banguna na ngai wana maboko na ngai esali mabe te, tika ete Nzambe ya batata na biso azala motatoli mpe akata likambo! »
David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”
18 Boye, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki Amasayi, mokonzi ya lisanga ya basoda tuku misato, mpe alobaki: « Oh Davidi, tozali ya yo! Tozali elongo na yo, oh mwana mobali ya Izayi! Tika ete kimia ezala na yo, ezala na yo penza; tika ete kimia ezala na moto oyo azali kosunga yo, pamba te Nzambe na yo azali kosunga yo. » Boye Davidi ayambaki bango mpe akomisaki bango bakonzi ya mampinga na ye.
Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
19 Ndambo ya bato ya Manase bakendeki kosala boyokani elongo na Davidi tango akendeki elongo na basoda ya Filisitia, mpo na kobundisa Saulo. Kasi Davidi elongo na bato na ye balongaki te kosunga bato ya Filisitia, pamba te sima na bakambi na bango koyokana, babenganaki Davidi mpe balobaki: « Davidi alingi kobomisa biso mpo ete azongisa boyokani na nkolo na ye Saulo! »
Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they didn’t help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
20 Tango Davidi akendeki na Tsikilagi, tala bato ya ekolo ya Manase oyo bakendeki kosala boyokani elongo na ye: Adina, Yozabadi, Yediayeli, Mikaeli, Yozabadi, Eliwu mpe Tsilitai. Moko na moko kati na bango azalaki mokonzi ya bato nkoto moko kati na libota ya Manase.
As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
21 Basungaki makasi Davidi mpe mampinga na ye, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki basoda ya mpiko mpe bakomaki bakonzi ya basoda.
They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains in the army.
22 Mokolo na mokolo, bato bazalaki koya kosunga Davidi kino mampinga na ye ekomaki monene makasi lokola mampinga ya Nzambe.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
23 Tala motango ya basoda oyo babongisami mpo na bitumba, mpe bayaki epai ya Davidi, na Ebron, mpo na kokweyisa bokonzi ya Saulo mpe kopesa yango epai ya Davidi ndenge Yawe alobaki:
