1 Chronicles 14
1 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
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 saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
Na Dawid huu sɛ Awurade de no asi Israel so hene, na esiane Israel nti, wayɛ nʼahenni kɛse.
3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives 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 he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
Dawid mmabarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no ne Samua, Sobab, Natan ne Salomo,
5 And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
Yibhar, Elisua, ne Elpelet,
6 And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
Noga, Nefeg ne Yafia,
7 And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada ne Elifelet.
8 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against 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 had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Na Filistifo no abedu Refaim bon asɛe hɔ pasaa.
10 And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
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 they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of 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 And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
Filistifo no gyaw wɔn ahoni nyinaa hɔ nti, Dawid hyɛ ma wɔhyew ne nyinaa.
13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
Nanso ankyɛ biara, Filistifo no san baa obon no mu bio bɛsɛee hɔ.
14 And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-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 And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army 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 And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as 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 name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
Na Dawid din hyetaa baabiara, na Awurade maa aman no nyinaa suroo Dawid.
