1 Chronicles 12
1 Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
OR questi [furono] quelli che vennero a Davide in Siclag, mentre era ancora rattenuto [là], per tema di Saulle, figliuolo di Chis; i quali [erano] fra gli uomini prodi, buoni combattenti,
2 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 relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.
armati di archi, tiratori di pietre [con la frombola], e di saette con l'arco, così della man sinistra, come della destra. De' fratelli di Saulle, di Beniamino:
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
Ahiezer, capo, e Ioas, figliuoli di Semaa, da Ghibea; e Ieziel, e Pelet, figliuoli di Azmavet; e Beraca, e Iehu Anatotita;
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;
ed Ismaia Gabaonita, il più valoroso dei trenta, sopra i quali egli avea il reggimento; e Geremia, e Iahaziel, e Iohanan, e Iozabad Ghederatita;
5 Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;
Elusai, e Ierimot, e Bealia, e Semaria, e Sefatia Harufita;

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
e Ioela, e Zebadia, figliuoli di Ieroham, da Ghedor.
8 Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
[Alcuni] eziandio de' Gaditi si appartarono per ridursi appresso a Davide, nella fortezza nel deserto, uomini prodi nelle armi, [e] guerrieri, armati di rotelle e di scudi; e parevano leoni in faccia, e cavriuoli in su i monti, in velocità.
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Ezer [era] il primo, Obadia il secondo, Eliab il terzo,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Mismanna il quarto, Geremia il quinto,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Attai il sesto, Eliel il settimo,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Iohanan l'ottavo, Elzabad il nono,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.
Geremia il decimo, Macbannai l'undecimo.
14 These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
Costoro, d'infra i figliuoli di Gad, [furono] capitani dell'esercito; il minimo comandava a cent'[uomini], il maggiore a mille.
15 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 who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
Questi [furono] quelli che passarono il Giordano al primo mese, quando è pieno fin sopra tutte le sue rive; e cacciarono tutti [quelli che stavano nel]le valli, verso Oriente, e verso Occidente.
16 Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
Vennero ancora de' figliuoli di Beniamino, e di Giuda, a Davide, nella fortezza.
17 David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”
E Davide uscì loro incontro, e parlò loro, e disse: Se voi siete venuti a me da buoni amici, per soccorrermi, l'animo mio sarà inverso voi, per esser in buona unione insieme; ma [se siete venuti] per tradirmi a' miei nemici, quantunque non [vi sia] alcuna violenza nelle mie mani, l'Iddio de' nostri padri [lo] vegga, e [ne] faccia la punizione.
18 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.
Allora lo Spirito investì Amasai, capo di que' capitani; ed [egli disse]: [Noi siamo] tuoi, o Davide, e [staremo] teco, o figliuolo d'Isai. Pace, pace a te, e pace a quelli che ti soccorrono; conciossiachè l'Iddio tuo ti soccorra. E Davide li accolse, e li costituì fra i capitani delle [sue] schiere.
19 Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
Alcuni ancora di Manasse andarono ad arrendersi a Davide, quando egli venne co' Filistei, per combattere contro a Saulle. Ma [Davide] non diede loro alcun soccorso; perciocchè i principi dei Filistei, per [comun] consiglio, lo rimandarono, dicendo: Egli si rivolterà a Saulle, suo signore, al [rischio del]le nostre teste.
20 As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
Quando egli [di là] andò in Siclag, Adna, e Iozabad, e Iediael, e Micael, e Iozabad, ed Elihu, e Silletai, d'infra i Manassiti, capi di migliaia di Manasse, andarono ad arrendersi a lui.
21 They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains in the army.
Ed essi diedero soccorso a Davide contro alle schiere che aveano fatta quella correria; perciocchè [erano] tutti uomini valenti, onde furono fatti capitani nell'esercito.
22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
Perciocchè di giorno in giorno venivano [genti] a Davide, per soccorrerlo, fino a [fare] un campo grande, come un campo di Dio.
23 These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the LORD’s word.
OR queste [son] le somme delle schiere di quelli che vennero a Davide in Hebron, in armi per la guerra, per trasportare in lui il reame di Saulle, secondo la parola del Signore:
24 The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.
De' figliuoli di Giuda, che portavano scudo e lancia, [vennero] seimila ottocento in armi per la guerra.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.
De' figliuoli di Simeone, valenti e prodi per la guerra, [vennero] settemila cento.
26 Of the children of Levi: four thousand six hundred.
De' figliuoli di Levi, quattromila seicento;
27 Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,
insieme con Gioiada, conduttore [de' discendenti] d'Aaronne, ed avea seco tremila settecent'[uomini];
28 and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.
e Sadoc, giovane prode e valoroso, con ventidue de' principali delle casa di suo padre.
29 Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.
E de' figliuoli di Beniamino, fratelli di Saulle, [sol] tremila; perciocchè la maggior parte di essi fino allora tenea la parte della casa di Saulle.
30 Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.
E de' figliuoli di Efraim, ventimila ottocent'[uomini] valorosi, e famosi nelle lor famiglie paterne.
31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.
E della mezza tribù di Manasse, diciottomila, i quali furono nominatamente deputati per venire a costituir Davide re.
32 Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
E de' figliuoli d'Issacar, [vennero uomini] intendenti nella conoscenza dei tempi, per saper ciò che Israele avea da fare; i lor capi [erano] dugento, e tutti i lor fratelli si reggevano per loro avviso.
33 Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.
Di Zabulon [vennero], di cuor sincero, cinquantamila [uomini] guerrieri, in ordine per la guerra, armati di tutte armi, ed ammaestrati a mettersi in ordinanza.
34 Of Naphtali: one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.

E de' Daniti, ventottomila [seicento] in ordine per la guerra.

E di Aser, quarantamila [uomini] guerrieri, [ammaestrati] ad ordinarsi in battaglia.
37 On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle: one hundred twenty thousand.
E di [quelli] di là dal Giordano, de' Rubeniti, de' Gaditi, e della mezza tribù di Manasse, cenventimila uomini [armati] di tutte armi da combattere.
38 All these were men of war who could order the battle array, and 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.
Tutti questi uomini di guerra vennero in ordinanza, di cuore intiero in Hebron, per costituir Davide re sopra tutto Israele. Tutto il rimanente d'Israele ancora [era] d'uno stesso animo per far Davide re.
39 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.
E [quella gente] stette quivi tre giorni con Davide, mangiando e bevendo; perciocchè i lor fratelli aveano loro provveduto.
40 Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
Ed anche i lor prossimi parenti, fin da Issacar, e Zabulon, e Neftali, portavano sopra asini, e sopra cammelli, [e menavano] con muli, e con buoi, pane, [ed altra] vittuaglia di farina, fichi secchi, ed uve secche, e vino, ed olio; e [menavano] eziandio buoi, e pecore, in gran quantità; perciocchè [vi era] allegrezza in Israele.
