< 2 Samuel 8 >
1 After this now, Dauid smote the Philistims, and subdued them, and Dauid tooke the bridle of bondage out of the hand of the Philistims.
Akyire yi, Dawid dii Filistifoɔ no so, brɛɛ wɔn ase. Ɔko gyee Gat a ɛyɛ wɔn kuropɔn kɛseɛ no.
2 And hee smote Moab, and measured them with a corde, and cast them downe to the ground: he measured them with two cordes to put them to death, and with one full corde to keepe them aliue: so became the Moabites Dauids seruants, and brought giftes.
Dawid sane dii Moabfoɔ so. Ɔmaa nnipa no dedaa fam, na ɔde ahoma susuu wɔn. Ɔsusu ahoma no mmienu a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnkum saa nnipa no. Ɛnna ɔsusu ahoma no baako a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnnyaa saa nkurɔfoɔ no. Enti, Moabfoɔ a wɔnyaa wɔn ti didii mu no bɛyɛɛ Dawid asomfoɔ a na afe biara wɔyi ɛtoɔ brɛ no.
3 Dauid smote also Hadadezer the sonne of Rehob King of Zobah, as he went to recouer his border at the riuer Euphrates.
Dawid sɛe Rehob babarima Hadadeser a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Soba no akɔdɔm, ɛberɛ a Hadadeser kɔɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔhyɛ ne nnisoɔ mu den.
4 And Dauid tooke of them a thousand and seuen hundreth horsemen, and twenty thousande footemen, and Dauid destroyed all the charets, but he reserued an hundreth charets of them.
Dawid kyeree ne nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafoɔ mpem nson ne nammɔntwa asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu. Dawid twitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntini, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 Then came the Aramites of Dammesek to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, but Dauid slewe of the Aramites two and twenty thousande men.
Ɛberɛ a Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kumm wɔn mu ɔpeduonu.
6 And Dauid put a garison in Aram of Damesek: and the Aramites became seruants to Dauid, and brought gifts. And the Lord saued Dauid wheresoeuer he went.
Na ɔde akodɔm a wɔyɛ bansifoɔ kɔtenaa Damasko, ma Aramfoɔ bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkurɔfoɔ a na wɔyi toɔ brɛ no. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 And Dauid tooke the shieldes of gold that beloged to the seruants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Ierusalem.
Dawid faa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser mpanimfoɔ dea no de ne nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem.
8 And out of Betah, and Berothai (cities of Hadadezer) king Dauid brought exceeding much brasse.
Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkuro no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔɔeɛ.
9 Then Toi king of Hamath heard howe Dauid had smitten all the hoste of Hadadezer,
Ɛberɛ a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser akodɔm no ase pasaa no,
10 Therefore Toi sent Ioram his sonne vnto King Dauid, to salute him, and to reioyce with him because he had fought against Hadadezer, and beaten him (for Hadadezer had warre with Toi) who brought with him vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and vessels of brasse.
ɔsomaa ne babarima Yoram wɔ Dawid nkyɛn, bɛkyiaa no maa no amo. Na Hadadeser ne Toi yɛ atamfoɔ firi teteete a wɔako atia wɔn ho mpɛn bebree. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid nneɛma bebree a ɛyɛ, dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
11 And King Dauid did dedicate them vnto the Lord with the siluer and golde that he had dedicate of all the nations, which he had subdued:
Ɔhene Dawid too akyɛdeɛ no nyinaa din de maa Awurade a, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔnya firii aman bi a ɔdii wɔn so no nyinaa ka ho.
12 Of Aram, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistims, and of Amalek, and of the spoyle of Hadadezer ye sonne of Rehob King of Zobah.
Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia, Amalek ne deɛ ɛfiri Sobahene Rehob babarima Hadadeser nkyɛn nso.
13 So Dauid gate a name after that hee returned, and had slayne of the Aramites in the valley of salt eighteene thousand men.
Yei maa Dawid gyee edin. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔeɛ no, ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa mu.
14 And he put a garison in Edom: throughout all Edom put he souldiers, and all they of Edom became Dauids seruants: and the Lord kept Dauid whithersoeuer he went.
Ɔde akodɔm bansifoɔ siisii Edom nyinaa ano. Na Edomfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Yei yɛ nhwɛsoɔ foforɔ a ɛkyerɛɛ nkonim a Awurade maa Dawid dii no baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no.
15 Thus Dauid reigned ouer all Israel, and executed iudgement and iustice vnto all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene, na ɔne obiara tenaa yie.
16 And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah was ouer the hoste, and Ioshaphat the sonne of Ahilud was recorder.
Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehyeɛ abakɔsɛmtwerɛni.
17 And Zadok the sonne of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Priestes, and Seraiah the Scribe.
Sadok a na ɔyɛ Ahitub babarima ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ. Na Seraia yɛ asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ.
18 And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and Dauids sonnes were chiefe rulers.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔdi Keretifoɔ ne Peletifoɔ so, ɛnna Dawid mmammarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
