1 Tantara 12
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 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 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 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.
3 Ny lohany dia Ahiezera sy Joasy, zanak’ i Sema Gibeatita, sy Jeziela sy Peleta zanak’ i Azmaveta, ary Beraka sy Jeho Anatotita

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.
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 Ezera no voalohany, Obadia no faharoa, Eliaba no fahatelo,
Ezer the 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, and 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 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 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.
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 Ary nisy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina sy Joda nankany amin’ i Davida tany amin’ ny fiarovana.
Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Ary ireo dia nanampy an’ i Davida hamely ny antokon’ ny jirika; fa lehilahy mahery avokoa izy sady komandy amin’ ny miaramila.
They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were 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.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
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 heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to Yahweh’s word.
24 Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, valon-jato amby enina arivo, mpitondra ampinga lehibe sy lefona sady efa voaomana hiady.
The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.
25 Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Simeona, zato amby fito arivo, lehilahy mahery sady matanjaka amin’ ny ady.
Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.
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;
Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,
28 ary Zadoka, zatovo mahery, sy ny fianakaviany, dia roa amby roa-polo lahy mpifehy.
and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.
29 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina, havan’ i Saoly, telo arivo; fa hatramin’ izany ny ankamaroany mbola nomba ny mpianakavin’ i Saoly ihany.
Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.
30 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima dia valon-jato amby roa alina, lehilahy mahery avokoa sady samy nalaza tamin’ ny fianakaviany avy.
Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.
31 Ary tamin’ ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia valo arivo amby iray alina, izay notononina anarana ho avy hampanjaka an’ i Davida.
Of the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and 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.
Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
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, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.
34 Ary tamin’ ny Naftaly dia nisy mpifehy arivo, ary manaraka azy dia nisy fito arivo amby telo alina amin’ ampinga lehibe sy lefona.
Of Naphtali: one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.
35 Ary tamin’ ny Danita dia enin-jato amby valo arivo sy roa alina izay nahay niady.

36 Ary tamin’ ny Asera, efatra alina izay azo nalefa hanafika sady nahay niady.

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.
On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle: one hundred twenty thousand.
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 were men of war who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 Ary tao amin’ i Davida hateloana izy sady nihinana sy nisotro; fa efa nanao nahandro ho azy ny rahalahiny.
They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions 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.
Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
