1 Chronicles 11
1 Gbogbo àwọn Israẹli kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi ní Hebroni, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹran-ara rẹ àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ ni àwa í ṣe.
Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
2 Ní àtijọ́, kódà nígbà tí Saulu jẹ ọba, ìwọ ni ẹni tí ó darí Israẹli ní ojú ogun wọn. Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ olùṣọ́ Israẹli ènìyàn mi, ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ olórí fún wọn.’”
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè Israẹli tí wọ́n ti wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba Dafidi ni Hebroni. Ó sì ṣe májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú wọn ní Hebroni níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì fi òróró yan Dafidi ní ọba lórí Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa láti ọwọ́ Samuẹli.
So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
4 Dafidi àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde lọ sí Jerusalẹmu (tí ṣe Jebusi). Àwọn Jebusi ara ilẹ̀ náà ń gbé níbẹ̀.
David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
5 Àwọn ará ìlú Jebusi sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ìwọ kò sì gbọdọ̀ wọ ìhín yìí wá.” Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi kó ìlú odi Sioni—èyí tí í ṣe ìlú Dafidi.
Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
6 Dafidi ti wí pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tètè kọlu àwọn ará Jebusi ni yóò di olórí àti balógun.” Joabu ọmọ Seruiah sì kọ́kọ́ gòkè lọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì gba olórí.
[What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
7 Dafidi sì ń gbé inú ìlú odi, nítorí náà ni wọ́n fi ń pè é ni ìlú Dafidi.
[After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
8 Ó sì kọ́ àwọn ìlú náà yíkákiri; láti Millo yíkákiri; Joabu sì tún ìyókù àwọn ìlú náà ṣe.
David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi ń ga, ó sì pọ̀ sí i, nítorí pé Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
10 Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni ìjòyè alágbára ọkùnrin Dafidi, àwọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì fún ìjọba rẹ̀ ní àtìlẹ́yìn tó lágbára láti mú un tàn káàkiri gbogbo ilẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí.
Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
11 Èyí sì ni iye àwọn akọni ọkùnrin Dafidi: Jaṣobeamu ọmọ Hakumoni, òun sì ni olórí nínú àwọn ìjòyè, ó sì gbé ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sókè lórí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ènìyàn, àwọn ẹni tí ó pa ní ogun ẹ̀ẹ̀kan.
This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
12 Lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ sì ni Eleasari ọmọ Dodo àwọn ará Ahohi, ọ̀kan lára àwọn mẹ́ta ọkùnrin alágbára.
Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
13 Ó sì wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi ní Pasi-Dammimu nígbà tí àwọn ará Filistini kó ara wọn jọ láti jagun, níbi tí ilẹ̀ kan wà tí ó kún fún ọkà barle. Àwọn ènìyàn sì sálọ kúrò níwájú Filistini.
[One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
14 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n mú ìdúró wọn ní àárín pápá náà. Wọ́n sì gbà a wọ́n sì gún àwọn ará Filistini mọ́lẹ̀, Olúwa sì mú ìgbàlà ńlá fún wọn.
but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
15 Mẹ́ta nínú àwọn ọgbọ̀n ìjòyè sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ́ Dafidi wá lọ sí orí àpáta nínú ihò Adullamu, nígbà tí àwọn ẹgbẹ́ Filistini sì dúró ní àfonífojì ní orí òkè Refaimu.
One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
16 Ní àsìkò náà Dafidi sì ń bẹ nínú ìlú odi, ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn ará Filistini sì ń bẹ ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
17 Dafidi sí pòǹgbẹ fún omi ó sì wí pé, “Háà, ẹnìkan yóò ha bu omi láti inú kànga ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹnu-bodè Bẹtilẹhẹmu fún un mu?”
[One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
18 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn mẹ́ta náà sì là láti ogun ará Filistini, ó sì fa omi jáde láti inú kànga ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹnu-bodè Bẹtilẹhẹmu ó sì gbé padà tọ Dafidi wá. Ṣùgbọ́n ó kọ̀ láti mu ú: dípò, ó sì tú jáde níwájú Olúwa.
So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
19 “Kí Ọlọ́run má jẹ́ kí èmi ó má ṣe ṣe èyí!” ó wí pé. “Ṣé kí èmi kí ó mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọkùnrin yí ẹni tí ó fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ wéwu?” Nítorí wọ́n fi ẹ̀mí wọn wéwu láti mú padà wá, Dafidi kò ní mu ú. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn akọni mẹ́ta ọkùnrin náà ṣe ohun ìyanu ńlá.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
20 Abiṣai arákùnrin Joabu ìjòyè àwọn mẹ́ta. Ó sì gbé ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sókè lórí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún àwọn ènìyàn, àwọn ẹni tí ó pa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì di olókìkí gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn mẹ́ta.
Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
21 Ó sì gba ìlọ́po ọlá lórí àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta ó sì di olórí wọn, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a kò ka kún ara wọn.
So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
22 Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ó sì jẹ́ akọni oníjà láti Kabṣeeli, ẹni tí ó ṣe iṣẹ́ agbára ńlá. Ó sì pa àwọn ọmọ Arieli méjì ti Moabu, ó sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí inú ihò lákokò yìnyín dídì, ó sì pa kìnnìún kan
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
23 Ó sì pa ara Ejibiti ẹni tí ó ga ní ìwọ̀n ẹsẹ̀ méje àti ààbọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Ejibiti wọn ní ọ̀kọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdábùú igi ahunṣọ àti ọ̀pá ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, Benaiah sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú kùmọ̀. Ó sì gba ọ̀kọ̀ náà láti ọwọ́ ará Ejibiti ó sì pa á pẹ̀lú ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀.
He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
24 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì ní ìwà akin Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada; ohun náà pẹ̀lú sì di olókìkí gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn akọni ọkùnrin mẹ́ta.
Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
25 Ó sì ní ọlá púpọ̀ ju àwọn ọgbọ̀n lọ, ṣùgbọ́n a kò kà á láàrín àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta. Dafidi sì fi sí ìkáwọ́ àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
