1Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle;
1Ko kinautolu eni naʻe haʻu kia Tevita ki Sikilaki lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei fakafufū ia koeʻuhi ko Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi: pea naʻa nau kau mo e kau tangata toʻa, ko e kau tokoni ʻi he tau.
2they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
2Ko honau mahafutau ʻae kaufana, pea naʻa nau faʻa ngāueʻaki honau nima toʻomataʻu mo honau toʻohema ʻi he lī ʻae maka mo e fanaʻi ʻae ngahau mei he kaufana, pea naʻa nau ʻoe kāinga ʻo Saula ʻia Penisimani.
3Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
3Ko ia naʻe ʻeiki hake ko ʻAhiesa, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Soasi, ko e ongo foha ʻo Simaʻa ko e tangata Kipea; mo Sisieli, mo Peleti, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻAsimaveti; mo Pilaka, mo Sehu ko e tangata ʻAnatoti,

8Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
8Pea naʻe ai ʻae kakai Kata naʻe mavahe ʻakinautolu kia Tevita ke nofo mo ia ʻi he potu mālohi ʻi he toafa, ko e kau tangata mālohi, mo e kau tangata ngalingali mo e fai ʻae tau, naʻa nau faʻa toʻo ʻae pā pea mo e tao, pea naʻe tatau ʻa honau mata mo e mata ʻoe fanga laione, pea naʻa nau veʻevave ʻo hangē ko e fanga tia ʻi he funga moʻunga;
9Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
9Ko e ʻuluaki ʻa Eseli, ko hono toko ua ʻa ʻOpataia, ko hono toko tolu ʻa ʻIliapi,
10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
10Ko hono toko fā ʻa Misimani, ko hono toko nima ʻa Selemaia,
11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
11Ko hono toko ono ʻa ʻAtai, ko hono toko fitu ʻa Ilieli.
12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
12Ko hono toko valu ʻa Sohanani, ko hono toko hiva ʻa Elisapati.
13Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
13Ko hono toko hongofulu ʻa Selemaia, pea ko hono toko hongofulu ma taha ʻa Makipanai.
14These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
14Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Kata, naʻe ʻeiki pule ki he kautau: ko ia naʻe siʻi hifo ʻiate kinautolu naʻe pule ki he toko teau, pea ko ia naʻe lahi hake naʻe pule ki he toko afe.
15These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.
15Ko kinautolu eni naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he Soatani ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, lolotonga ʻa ʻene malofa atu ʻae vai ki hono kau vai kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ki he feituʻu hahake, pea ki he lulunga.
16Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
16Pea naʻe haʻu foki ha niʻihi mei he fānau ʻa Penisimani mo Siuta ki he kolo mālohi kia Tevita.
17And David went out to meet them, saying, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you.”
17Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau kuo mou omi fakamelino pe kiate au ke tokoni kiate au, ʻe kautaha ʻa hoku loto mo kimoutolu: ka ko eni, kapau kuo mou haʻu ke lavakiʻi au ki hoku ngaahi fili, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fai fakamālohi ʻi hoku nima, ke ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai, pea ne valoki ia.”
18Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.
18Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae Laumālie kia ʻAmasai ʻaia naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau, pea naʻa ne pehē , “ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻakimautolu , ʻe Tevita, pea ʻoku mau kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo Sese: ke melino, ke melino pe koe, pea ke melino ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni kiate koe; he ʻoku tokoni ʻe ho ʻOtua kiate koe. Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻeikitau ki he kongakau.
19Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)
19Pea naʻe tō mai kia Tevita ha niʻihi meia Manase, ʻi heʻene omi fakataha mo e kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa Saula: ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻenau tokoni: he naʻe loto ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia ke ne ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE kau atu ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ko Saula, pea ʻe tuʻutāmaki ai ʻa hotau ʻulu ʻotautolu.”
20When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
20Lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ki Sikilaki, naʻe hoko mai kiate ia meia Manase, ʻa ʻAtina, mo Sosapati, mo Sitieli, mo Mikaeli, mo Sosapati, mo Ilihu, mo Silitei, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Manase.
21They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
21Pea naʻa nau tokoni ʻa Tevita ʻaki ha kautau: he ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ʻi he kautau.
22For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
22He ko e kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Tevita ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tokoni kiate ia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo fuʻu tokolahi ʻa ʻene kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau ʻoe ʻOtua.
23Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:
23¶ Pea ko hono lau eni ʻoe ngaahi kongakau naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau, mo nau omi kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ke liliu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Saula kiate ia, ʻo tatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova.
24From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
24Ko e fānau ʻa Siuta naʻe fua ʻae pā mo e tao ko e toko ono afe mo e valungeau, naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau.
25From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.

27Pea ko Sihoiata ko ia naʻe tataki ʻae kakai ʻElone, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko tolu afe ma fitungeau:
28and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
28Mo Satoki, ko e tangata talavou naʻe mālohi mo toʻa lahi, pea mei he fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻe toko uofulu ma ua.
29From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
29Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ko e kāinga ʻo Saula, ko e toko tolu afe: he naʻe fai ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia ʻe honau tokolahi, ʻae tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Saula.
30From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
30Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e toko ua mano mo e valungeau, ko e kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa, ko e kau ongoongo ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
31From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
31Pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha mano mo e valungeau, ʻaia naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke haʻu ʻo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
32From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
32Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsaka, ʻakinautolu naʻe poto ʻi he ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe kuonga, pea ke ʻilo ʻaia naʻe totonu ke fai ʻe ʻIsileli; ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻiate kinautolu ko e toko uangeau; pea naʻe tali ʻenau fekau ʻe honau kāinga kotoa pē.
33From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.
33ʻOe fānau ʻa Sepuloni, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau, mo poto ʻi he tau, ʻi he ngaahi mahafutau kotoa pē, ko e toko nima mano, ʻaia naʻe faʻa tutuʻu fakataha lelei ʻi he tau: naʻe ʻikai te nau lotolotoua.
34From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.

36Pea ʻo ʻAseli, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau, mo poto ʻi he tau, ko e toko fā mano.
37And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.
37Pea ʻi he kau vai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani, ʻoe kau Lupeni, mo e kau Kata, pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko e tokotaha kilu mo e ua mano, naʻe toʻo ʻae ngaahi mahafutau kehekehe ʻi he tau.
38All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
38Ko e kau tangata faʻa tau eni kotoa pē, naʻe faʻa tutuʻu lelei, pea naʻa nau omi kia Tevita ʻi he loto moʻoni ki Hepeloni, ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea ko hono toe foki ʻoe kakai ʻi ʻIsileli naʻe loto taha pe ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
39They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
39Pea naʻa nau ʻi ai mo Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu: he naʻe fai ʻa honau tali ʻe honau ngaahi kāinga.
40And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.
40Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai naʻe vāofi mo kinautolu, kia ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Nafitali, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae mā kuo fakaheka ki he fanga ʻasi, pea ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ki he fanga miuli, pea ki he fanga pulu, pea naʻe ʻomi mo e mangisi, ko e mahoaʻa, mo e ngaahi fiki fakamōmoa, mo e ngaahi fuhinga kālepi, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga sipi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻae fakafiefia ʻi ʻIsileli.
