1 Crónicas 12

¹Estos son los que se afiliaron a David en Siceleg, cuando estaba alejado de la presencia de Saúl, hijo de Cis. Estos son también del número de los valientes que le ayudaron en la guerra. Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,²Manejaban el arco, y eran diestros en (arrojar) piedras con la mano derecha y con la izquierda, y saetas con el arco. Eran parientes de Saúl, benjaminitas. bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:³El principal era Ahiéser, luego Joás, hijos de Semaá gabaatita; Jesiel y Pélet, hijos de Azmávet; Beracá; Jehú anatotita; the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.⁴Ismaías gabaonita, valiente entre los treinta, y jefe de los treinta; Jeremías, Jahaziel, Johanán, Jozabad gederatita; Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;⁵Eluzai, Jerimot, Bealías, Semanas, Sefatías harufita; and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;⁶Elcaná, Isaías, Azarel, Joéser y Jasobeam, coreítas; Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;⁷Joelá y Zebadías, hijos de Jeroham, de Gedor. and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.⁸Se separaron también algunos hombres valientes de los gaditas, para (unirse) con David en la fortaleza del desierto, soldados aptos para la guerra, que manejaban escudo y lanza. Sus rostros eran como rostros de leones, y eran ligeros como las gacelas de los montes. Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.⁹Su jefe era Éser; Obadías, el segundo; Eliab, el tercero; Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,¹⁰Mismaná, el cuarto; Jeremías, el quinto; Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,¹¹Atai, el sexto; Eliel, el séptimo; Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,¹²Johanán, el octavo; Elzabad, el nono; Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,¹³Jeremias, el décimo; Macbanai, el undécimo. Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.¹⁴Estos eran de los hijos de Gad, jefes del ejército; el menor de ellos era capaz de atacar a cien hombres, y el mayor a mil. These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.¹⁵Estos fueron los que atravesaron el Jordán en el mes primero, cuando suele desbordarse por todas sus riberas, y pusieron en fuga a todos los habitantes de los valles al oriente y al occidente. These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.¹⁶Asimismo algunos de los hijos de Benjamín y de Judá vinieron a la fortaleza, donde estaba David. Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.¹⁷David se presentó delante de ellos, y tomando la palabra, les dijo: “Si venís a mí con intenciones pacíficas para ayudarme, mi corazón se unirá con vosotros; pero si es para engañarme y entregarme a mis enemigos, siendo mis manos limpias de maldad, ¡véalo el Dios de nuestros padres, y sea juez!” And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”¹⁸Entonces el Espíritu revistió a Amasai, jefe de los treinta (y dijo): “¡Tuyos somos, oh David; y contigo estamos, hijo de Isaí! ¡Paz, paz a ti, y paz a cuantos te ayuden! Pues a ti te ayuda tu Dios.” Y David los recibió, y los puso entre los jefes del ejército. Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.¹⁹También de Manasés se unieron algunos con David, cuando este juntamente con los filisteos hizo guerra contra Saúl, bien que no ayudó a estos; pues los príncipes de los filisteos, habido consejo, lo despidieron, diciendo: “Se pasará a Saúl, su señor, y arriesgaremos nuestras cabezas.” Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”²⁰Así cuando regresó a Siceleg, algunos de los hijos de Manasés se pasaron a él: Adná, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Eliú y Silletai, jefes militares de Manasés. And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.²¹Estos ayudaron a David contra las bandas, porque todos eran hombres valientes y vinieron a ser jefes del ejército. These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.²²En aquel tiempo día por día acudían gentes a David para ayudarle, hasta que el ejército llegó a ser grande, como un ejército de Dios. Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.²³Estas son las cifras de los destacamentos que armados para la guerra vinieron a David, a Hebrón, para transferirle el reino de Saúl, conforme a la orden de Yahvé. Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:²⁴De los hijos de Judá, armados de escudo y lanza, seis mil ochocientos, listos para la guerra. the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;²⁵De los hijos de Simeón, hombres valerosos para la guerra, siete mil cien. from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;²⁶De los hijos de Leví, cuatro mil seiscientos. from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;²⁷Y con Joiadá, jefe de (la casa de) Aarón, otros tres mil setecientos; as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;²⁸con Sadoc, joven y valeroso, veinte y dos jefes de su casa paterna. and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;²⁹De los hijos de Benjamín, hermanos de Saúl, tres mil; porque hasta entonces la mayor parte de ellos guardaba fidelidad a la casa de Saúl. and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.³⁰De los hijos de Efraím, veinte mil ochocientos, hombres valientes, famosos en sus casas paternas. Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.³¹De la media tribu de Manasés, diez y ocho mil, nominalmente designados para ir a proclamar rey a David. And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.³²De los hijos de Isacar, que conocían los tiempos y sabían lo que Israel debía hacer, doscientos jefes, y todos sus hermanos bajo sus órdenes. Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.³³De Zabulón, cincuenta mil, aptos para salir a campaña, preparados para dar batalla y provistos de todas las armas de guerra para entrar en combate con ánimo resuelto. Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.³⁴De Neftalí, mil jefes, y con ellos treinta y siete mil hombres con escudo y lanza. And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.³⁵De los Danitas, listos para la guerra veinte y ocho mil seiscientos. And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.³⁶De Aser, aptos para salir a campaña y preparados para la guerra, cuarenta mil. And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.³⁷Y de la otra parte del Jordán, de los rubenitas, de los gaditas y de la media tribu de Manasés, provistos de todos los pertrechos de guerra para la batalla, ciento veinte mil. Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.³⁸Todos estos hombres de guerra, formados en orden de batalla, vinieron con corazón sincero a Hebrón, para proclamar a David rey sobre todo Israel; y todo el resto de Israel era de un mismo sentir para hacer rey a David. All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.³⁹Estuvieron allí con David tres días, comiendo y bebiendo; porque sus hermanos les habían preparado comida. And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.⁴⁰Además los vecinos de ellos, hasta Isacar, Zabulón y Neftalí, traían víveres en asnos, camellos, mulos y bueyes; provisiones de harina, tortas de higos y pasas, vino, aceite, ganado mayor y menor en abundancia; pues reinaba alegría en Israel. Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
