1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute Devid na Hebrọn sị ya, “Lee, ọkpụkpụ gị na anụ ahụ gị ka anyị bụ.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
Nʼoge gara aga, ọ bụladị mgbe Sọl bụ eze, ọ bụ gị duuru ndị agha Izrel nʼọgụ niile, ma ọpụpụ ma mbata. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, sịrị gị, ‘Ị ga-azụ ndị m, bụ Izrel, ị ga-abụkwa onye ga-achị ha.’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. They anointed David king over Israel, according to the LORD’s word by Samuel.
Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịakwutere eze Devid na Hebrọn, ya na ha gbara ndụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na Hebrọn. Ha tere ya mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa site nʼọnụ Samuel.
4 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
Devid na ndị Izrel zọọrọ ije garuo Jerusalem nke bụ Jebus. Ma ndị Jebus bi nʼebe ahụ,
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
gwara Devid sị, “Ị gaghị abata nʼebe a.” Nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, Devid dọtara ebe ahụ e wusiri ike nke Zayọn nʼagha, ya bụ obodo Devid.
6 David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
Devid ekwuolarị sị, “Onye ọbụla buru ụzọ buo agha megide ndị Jebus ga-abụ onyeisi ọchịagha ndị agha.” Joab nwa Zeruaya bụ onye mbụ gara, nʼihi ya, o nwetara ike ịbụ ọchịagha.
7 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
Devid biiri nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji akpọ ya obodo Devid.
8 He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
O wuru obodo gburugburu ya, site na Milo ruo na mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu. Ma Joab wuzikwara akụkụ obodo ahụ nke fọdụrụ.
9 David grew greater and greater, for the LORD of Armies was with him.
Ma Devid gara nʼihu na-adị ukwuu karịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nọnyeere ya.
10 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the LORD’s word concerning Israel.
Ndị a bụ ndịisi ndị dike nʼetiti ndị agha Devid. Ha na ndị Izrel niile nyere ịchị eze Devid ezi nkwado ime ka ọchịchị ya ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa.
11 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.
Nke a bụ ndekọ ọnụọgụgụ ndị dike nʼagha Devid nwere: Jashobeam, onye Hakmon, bụ onyeisi nʼetiti ndịisi ndị ọzọ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, bụ ndị o gburu nʼotu mgbe ibu agha.
12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
Onye nke na-eso ya bụ Elieza nwa Dodayi, onye Ahohi, onye bụ otu nʼime ndị dike atọ ndị ahụ.
13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
Ya na Devid nọ na Pas Damin mgbe ndị Filistia zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ ibu agha. Nʼotu ebe, nke e nwere otu ubi jupụtara nʼọka balị, ma ndị agha Izrel si nʼọgbọ agha gbapụ ọsọ nʼihi ndị Filistia.
14 They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
Ma ha were ọnọdụ ha nʼetiti ubi ahụ, ha napụtara ya, tigbuo ndị Filistia niile ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyere mmeri dị ukwuu.
15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Mmadụ atọ nʼime iri ndịisi agha atọ ahụ jekwuru Devid na nkume dị nʼọgba Adulam, na mgbe otù ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.
16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.
Ma Devid nọ nʼebe ahụ ewusiri ike nʼoge ahụ, ma ọnọdụ ndị agha ndị Filistia dị na Betlehem.
17 David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
Agụụ mmiri gụrụ Devid nke ukwuu, ọ sị, “Ọ ga-amasị m ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere onye ga-ekunye m mmiri ọṅụṅụ site nʼolulu mmiri dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem!”
18 The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
Ya mere, ha atọ wakpuru ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, seta mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Betlehem, bulatara ya Devid. Ma Devid jụrụ ịṅụ ya, kama ọ wufuru ya nʼala dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị, kwuo sị,
19 and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
“Chineke ekwela ka m mee nke a. M ga-aṅụ ọbara ndị ikom a, bụ ndị ji ndụ ha chụọ aja nʼihi ikute mmiri a?” Nʼihi na ha ji ndụ ha chụọ aja ịga kute ya, Devid ekweghị aṅụ ya. Nke a bụ ụdị ike dike atọ ahụ kpara.
20 Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
Abishai, nwanne Joab bụ onyeisi ndị ikom atọ ahụ. O weliri ùbe ya megide narị ndị ikom atọ, tigbukwaa ha niile. Nʼihi nke a, ọ ghọrọ onye a ma ama dịka mmadụ atọ ndị a.
21 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he was not included in the three.
Nʼetiti mmadụ atọ ahụ, a na-asọpụrụ ya karịa, ọ ghọrọ onyeisi ha. Ọ bụ ezie na-agụnyeghị ya dịka otu onye nʼime ha.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, onye si Kabzeel, bụ dike nʼagha, kpara ike dị ukwuu. O tigburu dimkpa abụọ ndị Moab, ndị bụ ọkaka nʼagha. O rịdakwukwara ọdụm nʼime olulu na-amị amị nʼụbọchị mkpụrụ mmiri na-ezo, gbuo ya.
23 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
O tigburu otu nwoke onye Ijipt, nke ogologo ya dị mita abụọ na ọkara. Ọ bụ ezie na onye Ijipt ahụ ji ùbe buru ezigbo ibu nʼaka, nke okporo ya dịka nke onye na-ekwe akwa ji ekwe akwa, ma Benaya ji naanị mkpọ jekwuru ya, pụnara onye Ijipt ahụ ùbe dị ya nʼaka, jiri ya magbuo ya.
24 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name among the three mighty men.
Nke a bụ ụdị ike Benaya nwa Jehoiada kpara. Ya onwe ya nwekwara aha dịka ndị dike atọ ahụ.
25 Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.
A na-asọpụrụ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nʼetiti iri dike atọ ndị ahụ, ma o rughị ogugo ndị dike atọ mbụ ahụ. Devid mere ya onyeisi ndị na-eche ya nche.
