< 1 Nyakati 11 >

1 Kisha Waisraeli wote walikuja Hebroni kwa Daudi na kusema, “Angalia, sisi ni nyama na mifupa yako.

Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

2 Katika wakati uliopita, Sauli alipoo kuwa mfalme juu yetu, ni wewe uliye ongoza jeshi la Israeli. Yahweh Mungu wako alisema kwako, 'utawachunga watu wangu wa Isaraeli, na utakuwa mtawala wa watu wangu wa Israeli”'.

Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”

3 Kwaiyo wazee wote wa Israeli wakamjia mfalme huko Hebroni, na Daudi akafanya agano nao mbele ya Yahweh. Wakampaka mafuta Daudi kuwa mfalme wa Israeli. Kwa namna hii, neno la Yahweh lilo nenwa na Samweli likawa kweli.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

4 Daudi na Israeli yote wakaenda Yerusalemu (yani, Yebusi). Sasa Wayebusi, wakazi wa nchi, walikuwa pale.

Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.

5 Wakazi wa yebusi wakamwabia Daudi, “Hautakuja humu.” Lakini Daudi alichukuwa ngome ya Sayuni, mji wa Daudi.

The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

6 Daudi alisema, “Yeyote atakaye washambulia Wayebusi wa kwanza atakuwa mkuu wa jeshi” kwaiyo Yoabu mwana wa Zeruia akashambulia wa kwanza, hivyo akafanywa mkuu wa jeshi.

Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.

7 Daudi akaanza kuishi katika hiyo ngome. Kwaiyo wakaiita mji wa Daudi.

So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.

8 Akaimarisha mji kutoka Milo na hadi mpaka ukuta unao zunguka. Yoabu akaimairisha mji wote uliyo baki.

He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 Daudi akawa mkuu na mkuu kwa sababu Yahweh wa Majeshi alikuwa naye.

And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.

10 Hawa walikuwa viongozi Daudi aliyo kuwa nao, waliyo jionyesha imara katika ufalme wake, pamoja na Israeli, kumfanya mfalme, kutii neno la Yahweh kuhusu Israeli.

Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

11 Hii ni orodha ya wanajeshi shupavu wa Daudi. Yashobeami, mwana wa Mhakimoni, alikuwa mkuu wa kikosi cha thelathini. Aliwaua wanaume mia tatu na mkuki wake katika sehemu moja.

This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

12 Baada ya yeye alikuwa Eleazari mwana wa Dodo, Mahohi, aliyekuwa mmoja wa wanaume watatu hodari.

Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.

13 Alikuwa na Daudi huko Pasidamimu, na pale Wafilisti wakakusanyika pamoja kwa mapambano, ambapo palikuwa na uwanja wa ngano na jeshi liliwakimbia Wafilisti.

He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.

14 Walisimama katikati ya uwanja. Wakautetea na kuwakata Wafilisti na Yahweh akawaokoa na ushindi mkubwa.

But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.

15 Kisha watatu wa viongozi thelathini wakashuka chini kwenye mwamba wa Daudi, katika pango la Adulamu. Jeshi la Wafilisti walieka kambi katika bonde la Refaim.

Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 Kwa wakati huo Daudi alikuwa katika ngome yake, pangoni, Wafilisti walikita kambi yao Bethilehemu.

At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

17 Daudi alikuwa na kiu ya maji na akasema, “Laiti mtu akanipatia maji ya kunywa kutoka kisima kilicho Bethilehemu, kisima kilicho pembeni mwa lango!”

David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

18 Hawa wanaume hodari watatu wakatoboa kupita jeshi la Wafilisti na kuchota maji kwenye kisima cha Bethilehemu, kisima pembeni mwa lango. Wakachukuwa maji na kumletea Daudi, lakini alikataa kunywa. Badala yake, akamwaga chini kwa Yahweh.

So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

19 Kisha akasema, “Yahweh, iwe mbali na mimi, kwamba ni yanywe haya maji. Je ninywe damu ya wanaume walio hatarisha maisha yao?” Kwa sababu wameeka maisha ya hatarini, akakataa kunywa. Haya ni mambo wanaume hodari watatu walio fanya.

saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

20 Abishai kaka wa Yoabu, alikuwa kiongozi wa watatu. Alitumia mkuki wake dhidi ya watu mia tatu na kuwaua. Ametajwa pamoja na wale watatu.

Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

21 Kati ya wale watatu, yeye alipewa heshima mara mbili na akawa kiongozi wao. Japo hakuwa mmoja wa miongoni mwao.

He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

22 Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alikuwa mwanaume mwenye nguvu aliye fanya mambo makuu. Aliua wana wawili wa Arieli wa Moabu. Pia alishuka chini ya shimo na kumuua simba wakati theluji ikianguka.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

23 Alimua hadi Mmisri, mwanaume mwenye mita mbili na theluthi moja. Mmisri alikuwa na mkuki kama gongo la mshonaji, lakini alimfuata chini na fimbo tu. Akakamata mkuki katika mkono wa Mmisri na kumuua na mkuki wake.

He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

24 Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alifanya haya matukio, na akatajwa miongoni mwa wale wanaume hodari watatu.

These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.

25 Alisifika zaidi ya wale wanajeshi thelathini kwa ujumla, lakini hakuwa pewa hadhi ya wale wanajeshi watatu hodari. Daudi alimueka kiongozi wa walinzi wake.

He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.

26 Wanaume hodari walikuwa Asaheli kaka wa Yoabu, Elhanani mwana wa Dodo wa Bethilehemu,

Now these were the mighty men: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

27 Shamothi Mherori, Helezi Mpeloni,

Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

28 Ira mwana wa Ikeshi Mtekoi, Abi Eza Manathothi,
