1 Ary izao no nankany amin’ i Davida tany Ziklaga, fony izy mbola niery an’ i Saoly, zanak’ i Kisy; ary isan’ ny lehilahy mahery mpanampy amin’ ny ady ireo
Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.
2 sady mpitondra tsipìka ka nahay nanavia sy nanavanana raha nitora-bato na nandefa tsipìka. Isan’ ny Benjamita, rahalahin’ i Saoly, ireo.
They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.
3 Ny lohany dia Ahiezera sy Joasy, zanak’ i Sema Gibeatita, sy Jeziela sy Peleta zanak’ i Azmaveta, ary Beraka sy Jeho Anatotita
Ahiezer was their chief, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Beracah and Jehu the Anathothite;
4 ary Jismaia Gibeonita, lehilahy mahery isan’ ny telo-polo lahy sady mpifehy ny telo-polo lahy, ary Jeremia sy Jahaziela sy Johanana sy Jozababa Gaderatita
And Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a great man among the thirty, and their chief; and Jeremiah and Jehaziel and Johanan and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 sy Elozay sy Jerimota ary Bealia sy Semaria sy Sefatia Harofita
Eluzai and Jerimoth and Bealiah and Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 sy Elkana sy Jisia sy Azarela sy Joezera ary Jasobeama Koraïta
Elkanah and Isshiah and Azarel and Joezer and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
7 ary Joela sy Zebadia, zanak’ i Jerohama avy any Gedora.
And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Ary tamin’ ny Gadita nisy lehilahy mahery niendaka hanatona an’ i Davida ho amin’ ny fiarovana tany an-efitra, dia ny miaramila nahay niady ka nahatana ampinga lehibe sy lefona; ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ ny liona, ary faingam-pandeha tahaka ny gazela eny an-tendrombohitra izy.
And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;
9 Ezera no voalohany, Obadia no faharoa, Eliaba no fahatelo,
Ezer their chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mismana no fahefatra, Jeremia no fahadimy,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Atahy no fahenina, Eliala no fahafito,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanana no fahavalo, Elizabada no fahasivy,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremia no fahafolo, Makbanay no fahiraika ambin’ ny folo.
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14 Ireo no isan’ ny taranak’ i Gada sady samy mpifehy miaramila; ny kely indrindra naharesy olona zato, ary ny lehibe indrindra naharesy arivo.
These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 Ireo no nita an’ i Jordana tamin’ ny volana voalohany, fony iny nihoatra ny morony rehetra; ary nampandositra izay rehetra teny amin’ ny lohasaha na atsinanana na andrefana ireo.
It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Ary nisy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina sy Joda nankany amin’ i Davida tany amin’ ny fiarovana.
And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.
17 Ary Davida nivoaka hitsena azy ka niteny taminy hoe: Raha fihavanana no ihavianareo atỳ amiko hanampy ahy, dia hikambana isika; fa raha avy hamadika ahy kosa ianareo ho azon’ ny fahavaloko, nefa tsy mba nanao an-keriny ny tanako, dia Andriamanitry ny razantsika no hijery sy hamaly izany.
And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.
18 Ary Amasay, lehiben’ ny mpanafika malaza, dia nampitenenin’ ny Fanahy hoe: Anao izahay, ry Davida ô, fa miandany aminao, ry zanak’ i Jese; fiadanana, eny, fiadanana anie ho anao, ary fiadanana anie ho an’ ny manampy anao; fa Andriamanitrao no manampy anao. Dia noraisin’ i Davida ireo ka notendreny ho mpifehy ny miaramila.
Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.
19 Ary nisy sasany tamin’ ny Manase niala hanatona an’ i Davida, raha nomba ny Filistina hiady amin’ i Saoly izy, nefa tsy nanampy azy izy; fa ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nifampisaina, dia nampandeha azy ka nanao hoe: Ny lohantsika no ho entiny mila sitraka hiverenany amin’ i Saoly tompony.
And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.
20 Raha nankany Ziklaga izy, nisy tamin’ ny Manase nanatona azy, dia Adna sy Jozabada sy Jediada sy Mikaela sy Jozabada sy Eliho ary Ziletahy, mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Manase.
Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.
21 Ary ireo dia nanampy an’ i Davida hamely ny antokon’ ny jirika; fa lehilahy mahery avokoa izy sady komandy amin’ ny miaramila.
And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.
22 Fa tamin’ izany nisy nankany amin’ i Davida isan’ andro isan’ andro hanampy azy mandra-pahatongany ho toby lehibe toy ny tobin’ Andriamanitra.
And from day to day more supporters came to David, till he had a great army like the army of God.
23 Ary izao no isan’ ny miaramila efa voaomana hiady, izay tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona hamindra ny fanjakan’ i Saoly ho azy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah:
These are the numbers of the chiefs of the armed men, ready for war, who came to David at Hebron, to give the kingdom of Saul into his hands, as the Lord had said.
24 Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, valon-jato amby enina arivo, mpitondra ampinga lehibe sy lefona sady efa voaomana hiady.
There were six thousand, eight hundred spearmen of the children of Judah, armed for war;
25 Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Simeona, zato amby fito arivo, lehilahy mahery sady matanjaka amin’ ny ady.
Seven thousand, one hundred of the children of Simeon, great men of war;
26 Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Levy, enin-jato amby efatra arivo.
Of the children of Levi, four thousand, six hundred.
27 Ary Joiada dia lehiben’ ny Aronita, ary nisy fiton-jato amby telo arivo teo aminy;
And Jehoiada, chief of the family of Aaron, and with him three thousand, seven hundred men;
28 ary Zadoka, zatovo mahery, sy ny fianakaviany, dia roa amby roa-polo lahy mpifehy.
And Zadok, a young man, great and strong in war, with twenty-two captains from his father's people.
29 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina, havan’ i Saoly, telo arivo; fa hatramin’ izany ny ankamaroany mbola nomba ny mpianakavin’ i Saoly ihany.
And of the children of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand; for up to that time the greater part of them had been true to Saul.
30 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima dia valon-jato amby roa alina, lehilahy mahery avokoa sady samy nalaza tamin’ ny fianakaviany avy.
And of the children of Ephraim, twenty thousand, eight hundred great men of war, men of great name in their families.
31 Ary tamin’ ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia valo arivo amby iray alina, izay notononina anarana ho avy hampanjaka an’ i Davida.
And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, listed by name, came to make David king.
32 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ Isakara dia roanjato no lohany, samy nahay namantatra tsara izay fotoana mety ka nahalala izay lokony hataon’ ny Isiraely; ary ny rahalahiny rehetra nanaraka ny teniny.
And of the children of Issachar, there were two hundred chiefs, men who had expert knowledge of the times and what it was best for Israel to do, and all their brothers were under their orders.
33 Tamin’ ny Zebolona, izay azo nalefa hanafika ka nahay niady tamin’ ny fiadiana samy hafa rehetra dia dimy alina, izay nahay nilahatra tsara tamin’ ny firaisan-kina.
Of Zebulun, there were fifty thousand men, who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight, to give help with all sorts of arms; true-hearted men.
34 Ary tamin’ ny Naftaly dia nisy mpifehy arivo, ary manaraka azy dia nisy fito arivo amby telo alina amin’ ampinga lehibe sy lefona.
And of Naphtali, a thousand captains with thirty-seven thousand spearmen.
35 Ary tamin’ ny Danita dia enin-jato amby valo arivo sy roa alina izay nahay niady.
And of the Danites, twenty-eight thousand, six hundred, expert in ordering the fight.
36 Ary tamin’ ny Asera, efatra alina izay azo nalefa hanafika sady nahay niady.
And of Asher, forty thousand who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight.
37 Ary avy tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, tamin’ ny Robenita sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, nisy roa alina amby iray hetsy nitana fiadiana samy hafa rehetra.
From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.
38 Ireo miaramila rehetra ireo, izay nahay nilahatra tsara, dia niray fo nankany Hebrona hampanjaka an’ i Davida amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra; ary ny sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely koa niray fo hampanjaka an’ i Davida.
All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.
39 Ary tao amin’ i Davida hateloana izy sady nihinana sy nisotro; fa efa nanao nahandro ho azy ny rahalahiny.
For three days they were there with David, feasting at his table, for their brothers had made ready food for them.
40 Ary izay teo akaikiny koa hatramin’ ny Isakara sy ny Zebolona ary ny Naftaly dia samy nampitondra hanina samy hafa nentin’ ny boriky sy rameva sy ampondra ary omby, dia koba sy ampempan’ aviavy sy voaloboka maina sy divay sy diloilo, ary omby sy ondry aman’ osy betsaka koa; fa nisy fifaliana tamin’ ny Isiraely.
And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.
