1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
Afei, Tirohene Huram somaa abɔfo ne abo adansifo ne nnua dwumfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn sɛ, wonkosi ahemfi mma no. Afei, Huram san de sida nnua a wɔbɛpae kɔe.
2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
Na Dawid huu sɛ Awurade de no asi Israel so hene, na esiane Israel nti, wayɛ nʼahenni kɛse.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Afei, Dawid waree mmea bebree wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔwowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bebree.
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Dawid mmabarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no ne Samua, Sobab, Natan ne Salomo,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Yibhar, Elisua, ne Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg ne Yafia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada ne Elifelet.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
Bere a Filistifo tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid ngo ama wadi Israel nyinaa so hene no, wɔboaboaa wɔn asraafo nyinaa ano sɛ, wɔrebɛkyere no. Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid se wɔreba ne so, enti ɔno nso ne ne mmarima fii kurow no mu kohyiaa wɔn.
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
Na Filistifo no abedu Refaim bon asɛe hɔ pasaa.
10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
Enti Dawid bisaa Onyankopɔn se, “Mimpue na me ne Filistifo no nkɔko? Wode wɔn bɛhyɛ me nsa ana?” Awurade buae se, “Yiw, wo ne wɔn nkɔko, na mɛma woadi wɔn so nkonim.”
11 So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
Enti Dawid ne nʼakofo kɔɔ Baal-Perasim kodii Filistifo no so wɔ hɔ. Dawid teɛɛ mu se, “Onyankopɔn ayɛ! Ɔnam me so ama mabɔ awura mʼatamfo mu te sɛ, nsuyiri a ano yɛ den.” Enti, wɔtoo beae hɔ din Baal-Perasim (a nkyerɛase ne sɛ “Awurade a ɔbɔ wura mu”).
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
Filistifo no gyaw wɔn ahoni nyinaa hɔ nti, Dawid hyɛ ma wɔhyew ne nyinaa.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
Nanso ankyɛ biara, Filistifo no san baa obon no mu bio bɛsɛee hɔ.
14 So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
Dawid bisaa Onyankopɔn nea ɔnyɛ bio. Onyankopɔn buae se, “Nkɔ tee nkɔtow nhyɛ wɔn so. Mmom, fa wɔn ho kosi wɔn akyi na montow nhyɛ wɔn so wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn baka nnua no.
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
Na sɛ mote nnyigye bi te sɛ nnipa bi a wɔrebɔ nsra anan ase wɔ baka nnua no atifi a, montow nhyɛ wɔn so. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn adi mo anim rekɔka Filistifo no agu.”
16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, na ɔkaa Filistifo asraafo no guu fi Gibeon de kosii Geser.
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
Na Dawid din hyetaa baabiara, na Awurade maa aman no nyinaa suroo Dawid.
