1 Chronicles 18
1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
Yei akyiri no, Dawid ko dii Gat ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no so nkonim, de kaa Filistifoɔ no hyɛeɛ, brɛɛ wɔn ase.
2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
Bio, Dawid dii Moab asase no so nkonim, ma Moabfoɔ no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wɔtua apeatoɔ ma no.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Afei, Dawid tɔree ɔhene Hadadeser a ɔfiri Soba akodɔm ase, de kɔsii Hamat wɔ ɛberɛ a Hadadeser bɔɔ nsra wɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho sɛ anka ɔrehyɛ ne tumi mu den no.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots.
Dawid ko gyee nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafoɔ mpem nson ne nammɔntwa asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu. Afei, ɔtwitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntini, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Ɛberɛ a Aramfoɔ firi Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkumm wɔn mu ɔpeduonu mmienu.
6 Then David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.
Afei, ɔde asraafodɔm guu Damasko, Aram ahenkuro mu, ma Aramfoɔ no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wɔbrɛ no apeatoɔ. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawid faa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser mpanimfoɔ dea no de ne nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem.
8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
Ɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ bebree a ɛfiri Hadadeser nkuro Tibhat ne Kun kaa ho baeɛ. Akyire yi, Salomo nanee kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no de yɛɛ asɔredan no ho adwuma. Ɔde yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ Po na ɔde bi yɛɛ afadum ne kɔbere nkuku ne nkaka a wɔde di dwuma wɔ asɔredan no mu.
9 And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
Ɛberɛ a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Sobahene Hadadeser akodɔm ase no,
10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou); and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
ɔsomaa ne babarima Hadoram ma ɔkɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn kɔmaa no amo wɔ ne nkonimdie no ho. Na Hadadeser ne Tou atane wɔn ho akyɛre, a na akokoakoko aba wɔn ntam. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ bebree.
11 These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Ɔhene Dawid hyiraa saa akyɛdeɛ yi nyinaa so maa Awurade, a dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔfa firii aman foforɔ a ɔkaa wɔn hyɛeɛ no so no nyinaa ka ho. Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia ne Amalek.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkumm Edomfoɔ mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.
Ɔde asraafoɔ duaduaa Edom nyinaa, ma Edomfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Yei yɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade ma Dawid dii nkonim wɔ baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no nhwɛsoɔ.
14 And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.
Dawid dii ɔhene wɔ Israel nyinaa so, na ɔne obiara tenaa yie.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehyeɛ abakɔsɛmtwerɛni.
16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
Ahitub babarima Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Abimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ. Sawsa na na ɔyɛ asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ.
17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔyɛ ɔhene awɛmfoɔ no so panin. Dawid mmammarima somm sɛ ɔhene aboafoɔ mpanimfoɔ.
