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 abɔfoɔ ne aboɔ adansifoɔ ne nnua dwumfoɔ kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn sɛ, wɔnkɔsi ahemfie mma no. Afei, Huram sane de ntweneduro nnua a wɔbɛpae kɔeɛ.
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 hunuu sɛ Awurade de no asi Israel so ɔhene, na ɛsiane Israel enti, wayɛ nʼahennie kɛseɛ.
3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Afei, Dawid waree mmaa bebree wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔwowoo mmammarima ne mmammaa bebree.
4 These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
Dawid mmammarima a wɔwoo wɔn Yerusalem no ne Samua, Sobab, Natan ne Salomo,
5 And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
Yibhar, Elisua, ne Elifelet,
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.
Ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid ngo ama wadi Israel nyinaa so ɔhene no, wɔboaboaa wɔn akodɔm nyinaa ano sɛ, wɔrebɛkye no. Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ wɔreba ne so, enti ɔno nso ne ne mmarima firii kuro no mu kɔhyiaa wɔn.
9 Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Na Filistifoɔ no abɛduru Refaim bɔnhwa mu, 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 sɛ, “Mempue na me ne Filistifoɔ no nkɔko? Wode wɔn bɛhyɛ me nsa anaa?” Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, 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 nʼakodɔm kɔɔ Baal-Perasim kɔdii Filistifoɔ no so wɔ hɔ. Dawid teaam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ayɛ! Ɔnam me so ama mabɔ awura mʼatamfoɔ mu te sɛ nsuyire a ano yɛ den.” Enti, wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin Baal-Perasim (a asekyerɛ 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.
Filistifoɔ no gyaa wɔn ahoni nyinaa hɔ enti, Dawid hyɛ maa wɔhyee ne nyinaa.
13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
Nanso, ankyɛre biara, Filistifoɔ no sane baa bɔnhwa no mu 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 deɛ ɔnyɛ bio. Onyankopɔn buaa sɛ, “Nkɔ tee nkɔto nhyɛ wɔn so. Mmom, fa wɔn ho kɔsi wɔn akyi na monto 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 nnyegyeeɛ bi te sɛ nnipa bi a wɔrebɔ nsra nan ase wɔ baka nnua no atifi a, monto nhyɛ wɔn so. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn adi mo anim rekɔka Filistifoɔ 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 deɛ Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, na ɔkaa Filistifoɔ akodɔm no guiɛ firi Gibeon de kɔsii Geser.
17 And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
Na Dawid edin hyetaa baabiara, na Awurade maa aman no nyinaa suroo Dawid.
