< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then all Israel gathered themselues to Dauid vnto Hebron, saying, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

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

2 And in time past, euen when Saul was King, thou leddest Israel out and in: and the Lord thy God sayde vnto thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be captaine ouer my people Israel.

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 came all the Elders of Israel to the King to Hebron, and Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord. And they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of 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 And Dauid and all Israel went to Ierusalem, which is Iebus, where were the Iebusites, the inhabitants of 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 And the inhabitants of Iebus said to Dauid, Thou shalt not come in hither. Neuertheles Dauid tooke the towre of Zion, which is the city of Dauid.

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 And Dauid sayd, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites first, shalbe the chiefe and captaine. So Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah went first vp, and was captaine.

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 And Dauid dwelt in the tower: therefore they called it the citie of Dauid.

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

8 And he built the citie on euery side, from Millo euen round about, and Ioab repaired the rest of the citie.

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

9 And Dauid prospered, and grewe: for the Lord of hostes was with him.

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

10 These also are the chiefe of the valiant men that were with Dauid, and ioyned their force with him in his kingdome with al Israel, to make him King ouer Israel, according to the worde of the Lord.

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 And this is the nomber of the valiant men whome Dauid had, Iashobeam the sonne of Hachmoni, the chiefe among thirtie: he lift vp his speare against three hundreth, whom he slewe 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 And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo the Ahohite, which was one of the three valiant men.

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

13 He was with Dauid at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistims were gathered together to battel: and there was a parcell of ground full of barley, and the people fled before the Philistims.

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 And they stood in the middes of the field, and saued it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue a great victorie.

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 And three of the thirtie captaines went to a rocke to Dauid, into the caue of Adullam. And the armie of the Philistims camped 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 And when Dauid was in the hold, the Philistims garison was at Beth-lehem.

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

17 And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem that is at the gate.

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 Then these three brake thorowe the hoste of the Philistims, and drewe water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke it and brought it to Dauid: but Dauid would not drinke of it, but powred it for an oblation 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 And said, Let not my God suffer me to do this: should I drinke the blood of these mens liues? for they haue brought it with the ieopardie of their liues: therefore he would not drinke it: these things did these three mightie 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 And Abishai the brother of Ioab, he was chiefe of the three, and he lift vp his speare against three hundreth, and slew them, and had the name among 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 Among the three he was more honourable then the two, and he was their captaine: but he attained not vnto the first three.

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

22 Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada (the sonne of a valiant man) which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, he slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also and slewe a lion in the middes of a pit in time of snowe.

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 And he slewe an Egyptian, a man of great stature, euen fiue cubites long, and in the Egyptians hand was a speare like a weauers beame: and he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.

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 things did Benaiah ye sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.

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

25 Behold, he was honourable among thirtie, but he attained not vnto the first three. And Dauid made him of his counsell.

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 These also were valiant men of warre, Asahel the brother of Ioab, Elhanan the sonne of Dodo of Beth-lehem,
