< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo.

2 Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”

Mmere tenten bi a atwa mu, mpo bere a Saulo di yɛn so hene no, na wone obi a nokware na wudi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo ama me nkurɔfo Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifo!’”

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

Enti Hebron hɔ, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛnea Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.

4 Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.

Na Dawid ne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem anaa Yebus, sɛnea na wɔfrɛ hɔ kan no, efisɛ Yebusifo na wɔkɔtenaa asase no so kan kyekyeree.

5 The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

Nnipa a wofi Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Worentumi mma ha da biara da.” Nanso Dawid faa aban a na ɛwɔ Sion a wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kurow no.

6 Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.

Dawid ka kyerɛɛ nʼakofo no se, “Mo mu biara a obedi anim na yɛakɔtow ahyɛ Yebusifo no so no na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakofo so sahene.” Na Dawid, nuabea Seruia babarima Yoab dii ɔko no anim, nti ɔbɛyɛɛ Dawid asraafo so sahene.

7 So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.

Dawid tenaa aban no mu, na ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid kurow no.

8 He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

Dawid kyekyeree kurow no, trɛw mu fi Milo de twaa ho hyiae, bere a na Yoab nso rekyekyere Yerusalem nkae no.

9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.

Na Dawid tumi yɛɛ kɛse, efisɛ na Asafo Awurade ka ne ho.

10 Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

Eyinom ne Dawid dɔmmarima ntuanofo. Wɔne Israel nyinaa bɔɔ mu, sii gyinae sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn so hene sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ bɔ afa Israel ho no.

11 This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

Dawid dɔmmarima no ho nsɛm ni: Nea odi kan no ne Yasobeam a ɔyɛ Hakmonini a na ɔda Baasa no ano sɛ ɔsahene—Baasa no yɛ dɔmmarima akatakyi a na wɔwɔ Dawid asraafo mu. Bere bi ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo ahaasa wɔ akodi baako mu.

12 Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.

Nea ɔto so abien wɔ Baasa no mu no yɛ Dodo babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni.

13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.

Bere a Dawid sɔre tiaa Filistifo wɔ Pas-Damim no, na ɔka ne ho. Ɔko no sii wɔ baabi a na ɛyɛ atokofuw nko, na Israel asraafo no guanee.

14 But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.

Nanso Eleasar ne Dawid gyinaa wɔn anan so wɔ afuw no mfimfini, bɔɔ Filistifo no gui. Na Awurade ma wodii nkonim de gyee wɔn.

15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

Da bi a Dawid wɔ ɔbotan bi a ɛbɛn Adulam ɔbodan ho no, na Filistifo asraafo akyere nsraban wɔ Refaim bon mu. Baasa no a na wɔka Aduasa no a wonim de wɔ Dawid asraafo mu no sian kohyiaa no wɔ hɔ.

16 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

Saa bere no na Dawid te ɔko ahintawee mu hɔ a na Filistifo asraafokuw bi akɔtena Betlehem.

17 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

Dawid fi akɔnnɔ mu kae se, “Ao me kɔn dɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ abura a ɛwɔ Betlehem no bi; nea ɛbɛn ɔpon ano no bi.”

18 So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

Enti Baasa no bɔ wuraa Filistifo no mu, kɔsaw abura no mu nsu no bi de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso Dawid annom. Mmom, ohwie guu Awurade anim

19 saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

teɛɛ mu se, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom saa nsu yi. Ɛsom bo sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ afɔre kɔsaw brɛɛ me no mogya.” Enti Dawid annom. Eyi yɛ Baasa no mmaninsɛm no bi nhwɛso.

20 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

Yoab nuabarima Abisai na na otua Aduasa no ano. Ɔko baako bi mu no, ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo no mu ahaasa. Saa mmaninsɛm yi nti na ogyee din sɛ Baasa no.

21 He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

Abisai na na ne din ahyeta yiye wɔ Aduasa no mu sɛ wɔn sahene, nso na ɔnka Baasa no ho.

22 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia a ofi Kabseel no nso wɔ hɔ. Na ɔno nso di mmarimasɛm. Ɔyɛɛ bebree a emu baako ne sɛ okunkum Moab akofo akɛse baanu bi. Bere foforo bi nso, ɔtaa gyata maa aboa no kɔtɔɔ amoa mu. Na sukyerɛmma ama fam ayɛ toro nanso ɔkyeree gyata no kum no.

23 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

Da bi a na okura kontibaa nko ara no, okum Misraimni ɔkofo bi a na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na ne peaw no mu pipiripi te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua. Benaia huam peaw no fii Misraimni no nsam, de kum no.

24 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.

Eyinom na Yehoiada babarima Benaia yɛe, ma ogyee din te sɛ Baasa no.

25 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.

Wɔhyɛɛ no anuonyam sen nkae a wɔka Aduasa no ho no, nso na ɔmfra Baasa no mu. Na Dawid yɛɛ no ne ho awɛmfo no so sahene.

26 Now these were the mighty men: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

Nnipa a na wɔka Dawid dɔmmarima no ho ni: Yoab nuabarima Asahel; Dodo babarima Elhanan a ofi Betlehem;

27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

Samot a ofi Harori; Heles a ofi Pelon;

28 Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,

Ikes babarima Ira a ofi Tekoa; Abieser a ofi Anatot;

29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

Sibekai a ofi Husa; Salmon a ofi Ahoa;
