Basi hawa ndio wale waliomjia Daudi huko Siklagi, alipokuwa akijificha kwa ajili ya Sauli, mwana wa Kishi; nao walikuwamo miongoni mwa wale mashujaa, waliomsaidia vitani.
Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
Walikuwa wenye kupinda upinde, nao walikuwa hodari wa kutumia mkono wa kuume na wa kushoto, kwa kutupa mawe ya teo, na kwa kupiga mishale ya upinde; walikuwa wa nduguze Sauli, wa Benyamini.
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 brothers of Benjamin.
Mkubwa wao alikuwa Ahiezeri, kisha Yoashi, wana wa Shemaa Mgibeathi; na Yezieli, na Peleti, wana wa Azmawethi; na Beraka, na Yehu Mwanathothi;
The chief was Ahiezer; then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite,
na Ishmaya Mgibeoni, shujaa wa wale thelathini, naye alikuwa juu ya wale thelathini; na Yeremia, na Yahazieli, na Yohana, na Yozabadi Mgederathi;

na Yoela, na Zebadia, wana wa Yerohamu, wa Gedori.
and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Na wa Wagadi wakajitenga kumfuata Daudi ngomeni huko nyikani, waume mashujaa, watu waliozoea vita, walioweza kutumia ngao na mkuki; ambao nyuso zao zilikuwa kama nyuso za simba, nao walikuwa wepesi kama kulungu juu ya milima;
Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes on the mountains;
Ezeri mkubwa wao, Obadia wa pili, Eliabu wa tatu;

Hao wa wana wa Gadi walikuwa maakida wa jeshi, yeye aliyekuwa mdogo amelingana na mia, na yeye aliyekuwa mkuu, na elfu.
These of the sons of Gad were captains of the host: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
Hao ndio wale waliovuka Yordani katika mwezi wa kwanza, ulipofurika kingo zake zote; nao wakawakimbiza wote wa bondeni kuelekea mashariki na magharibi pia.
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 them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
Tena wakafika ngomeni kwa Daudi baadhi ya wana wa Benyamini na Yuda.
There came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.
Naye Daudi akatoka ili kuwalaki, akajibu, akawaambia, Kama mmenijia kwa amani ili kunisaidia, basi moyo wangu utaambatana nanyi; lakini kama mmekuja ili kunisaliti kwa adui zangu, kwa kuwa hamna udhalimu mikononi mwangu, Mungu wa baba zetu na alitazame neno hili, na kulikemea.
David went out to meet them, and answered them, If you be come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if [you be come] to betray me to my adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
Ndipo roho ikamjilia Abishai, mkuu wa wale thelathini, naye akasema, Sisi tu watu wako, Ee Daudi; Na wa upande wako, Ee mwana wa Yese; Amani, naam, amani iwe kwako, Na amani iwe kwao wakusaidiao; Maana akusaidiye ndiye Mungu wako. Ndipo Daudi akawakaribisha, akawaweka wawe maakida wa kile kikosi.
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.
Wa Manase pia wengine walimwangukia Daudi, alipokwenda pamoja na Wafilisti juu ya Sauli vitani, lakini hawakuwasaidia; kwani wale mabwana wa Wafilisti wakafanya shauri, wakamfukuza, wakisema, kwa hatari ya vichwa vyetu atamwangukia bwana wake Sauli.
Of Manasseh also there fell away some to 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 fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
Naye alipokuwa akienda Siklagi, wakamwangukia hawa wa Manase, Adna, na Yozabadi, na Yediaeli, na Mikaeli, na Yozabadi, na Elihu, na Silethai, maakida wa maelfu waliokuwa wa Manase.
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
Wakamsaidia Daudi juu ya kile kikosi kilichomshambulia; kwani walikuwa waume mashujaa wote, nao wakawa maakida jeshini.
They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.
Maana siku kwa siku humjia Daudi watu wa kumsaidia, hata wakapata kuwa jeshi kubwa, kama jeshi la Mungu.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great host, like the host of God.

All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, 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.
Nao walikuwako huko pamoja na Daudi siku tatu, wakila na kunywa; kwani ndugu zao walikuwa wamewaandalia tayari.
They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had made preparation for them.
