< १ इतिहास 12 >
1 कीशका छोरा शाऊलको उपस्थितिबाट दाऊद निकाला भएकै अवस्थामा सिक्लगमा यी मानिसहरू तिनीकहाँ आए । यिनीहरू युद्ध तिनलाई सहयोग गर्ने सिपाहीहरू थिए ।
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 यिनीहरू धनुहरू बोक्थे, अनि घुयेंत्रोले ढुङ्गा हान्न र धनुबाट काँड हान्न दाहिने र देब्रे दुवै हात चलाउन सक्थे । यिनीहरू शाऊलका कुल बेन्यामीनका थिए ।
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 तिनीहरूका प्रधान अहीएजेर त्यसपछि योआश, दुवै जना गिबियाती शेमाहका छोराहरू थिए । अज्मावेतका छोराहरू यजीएल र पलेत थिए । बराकाह, अनातोती येहू,
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];
4 गिबोनी यिश्मायाह, जो तिस जनामध्येका एक सिपाही थिए (र तिस जनाका कमाण्डर थिए), यर्मिया, यहासेल, योहानान र गदेराती योजाबाद,

Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
8 कोही गादीहरू पनि उजाड-स्थानको किल्लामा दाऊदसँग सहभागी भए । तिनीहरू युद्धका निम्ति तालिमप्राप्त योद्धाहरू थिए, जसले ढाल र भाला चलाउन सक्थे, जसका अनुहारहरू सिंहका अनुहारहरूजस्तै डरलाग्दा थिए । तिनीहरू पहाडहरूमा हरिणझैं तेजिला थिए ।
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.
9 एसेर तिनीहरूका अगुवा थिए, दोस्रा ओबदिया, तेस्रा एलिआब,
Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.

14 गादका यी छोराहरू सेनाका अगुवाहरू थिए । तल्लो दर्जाले सय जना र माथिल्लो दर्जाले हजार जनाको नेतृत्व गरे ।
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 पहिलो महिनामा बढीले किनारै ढाकेको बेलामा यिनीहरूले यर्दन तरे, अनि उपत्यकाको पूर्व र पश्चिम दुवैतर्फ बस्ने सबैलाई लखेटे ।
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 बेन्यामीन र यहूदाका केही मानिसहरू दाऊदकहाँ किल्लामा आए ।
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न दाऊद बाहिर निस्केर गए र यसो भनेर सम्बोधन गरे, “तिमीहरू मकहाँ शान्तिमा मलाई सहायता गर्न आएका हौ भने, तिमीहरू मसित सहभागी हुन सक्छौ । तर धोकाबाजी गरेर मेरा शत्रुहरूका हातमा मलाई सुम्पिदिन तिमीहरू आएका हौ भने, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरले हेर्नुहुन्छ र तिमीहरूलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ, किनकि मैले कुनै खराबी गरेको छैन ।”
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 तब अमासैमा आत्मा आउनुभयो, जो ती तिस जनामध्येका अगुवा थिए । अमासैले भने, “ए दाऊद, हामी तपाईंका हौं । ए यिशैका छोरा, हामी तपाईंको पक्षमा छौं । तपाईंलाई सहायता गर्ने जोसुकैमा शान्ति होस् । तपाईंका सहयोगीहरूमा शान्ति होस्, किनकि तपाईंका परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई सहायता गरिरहनुभएको छ ।” तब दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई ग्रहण गरे र आफ्ना मानिसहरूका कमाण्डरहरू तुल्याए ।
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 पलिश्तीहरूसँग मिलेर दाऊदले शाऊलको विरुद्ध लड्न जाँदा, मनश्शेका केही मानिसहरूसमेत दाऊदतर्फ लागे । तापनि तिनीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूलाई मदत गरेनन्, किनभने पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले एकआपसमा सल्लाह गरे र दाऊदलाई फर्काइदिए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रो जीवन जोखिमपूर्ण हुँदा तिनले आफ्ना मालिक शाऊलको साथ दिएर हामीलाई त्याग्नेछन् ।”
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 तिनी सिक्लगमा जाँदा तिनीतर्फ लागेर आउने मनश्शेका मानिसहरू अदनाह, योजाबाद, येदीएल, मिखाएल, योजाबाद, एलीहू र सिल्लतै थिए । यि मनश्शेका हजार-हजार जनाका सेनानीहरू थिए ।
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 यिनीहरूले नै लूटपीट गर्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा वीरतासँग दाऊदका साथ दिए, किनकि तिनीहरू योद्धाहरू थिए । पछि तिनीहरू सेनाका कमाण्डरहरू भए ।
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 परमेश्वरको सेनाजस्तै ठूलो दाऊदको सेना नहुन्जेल दिनदिनै तिनलाई सहायता गर्न मानिसहरू तिनीकहाँ आए ।
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 शाऊलको राज्याधिकार दाऊदलाई दिएर परमप्रभुको वचन पूरा गर्नलाई हतियारले सुसज्जित भएर हेब्रोनमा दाऊदसँग मिल्न आएका सिपाहीहरूका सूचीको लेख यही हो ।

38 युद्धको निम्ति सुसज्जित यी सबै योद्धाहरू दाऊदलाई सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाउने दृढ़ सङ्कल्प गरेर हेब्रोनमा आए । इस्राएलका बाँकी सबै पनि दाऊदलाई राजा बनाउनलाई सहमत भए ।
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 तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ खाँदै र पिउँदै तिन दिनसम्म दाऊदसँग बिताए, किनकि तिनीहरूका आफन्तहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति खानपानको बन्दोबस्त गरेर पठाएका थिए ।
The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
