1 Chronicles 12
1 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
Bere a Dawid guan fii Kis babarima Saulo anim kohintaw wɔ Siklag no, saa mmarima yi kɔdɔm no. Na wɔka dɔmmarima a wɔboa Dawid wɔ akodi mu no ho.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.
Na wɔn nyinaa yɛ agyantowfo antoamfomfo. Na wotumi de wɔn nsa benkum ne nifa nyinaa tow agyan ne ahwimmo. Na wɔn nyinaa yɛ Saulo abusuafo a wofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,
Na nea otua wɔn ano yɛ Semaia a ofi Gibea no babarima Ahieser. Na ne nuabarima ne Yoas a ɔyɛ nʼabediakyiri. Eyinom ne dɔmmarima no nkae: Asmawet mmabarima Yesiel ne Pelet; Beraka ne Yehu a wofi Anatot;
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
Ismaia a ofi Gibeon, ɔkofo kɛse ne ntuanoni wɔ Aduasa no mu; Yeremia, Yahasiel, Yohanan ne Yosabad a wofi Gedera;
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
Elusai, Yerimot, Bealia, Semaria, ne Sefatia a ofi Harif;
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
Elkana, Yesia, Asarel, Yoeser, Yasobeam a wɔyɛ Korafo;
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Yoela, Sebadia, Yeroham mmabarima a wofi Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
Gadfo akofo akokodurufo bi a wɔakwadaw akodi mu guan kɔɔ Dawid afa bere a na ɔwɔ aguaabɔ mu wɔ sare so no. Na wɔyɛ nimdefo wɔ nkatabo ne peaw akodi mu a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ gyata, na wɔn ho yɛ hare te sɛ mmepɔw so atwe.
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Eser na na otua wɔn ano. Obadia yɛ abediakyiri. Eliab na ɔto so abiɛsa.
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Nea ɔto so anan ne Mismana. Nea ɔto so anum ne Yeremia.
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Atai to so asia, Eliel to so ason.
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Yohanan to so awotwe, Elsabad to so akron.
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
Yeremia to so du, Makbanai to so dubaako.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
Saa dɔmmarima a wofi Gad yi yɛ asahene. Nea ɔnyɛ den koraa no, otumi ne asraafo ɔha ko, na nea ɔyɛ den no tumi ne asraafo apem ko.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
Afe no mfiase a Asubɔnten Yordan ayiri no, wotwa kɔpam nnipa a wɔtete tataw so wɔ nʼapuei ne nʼatɔe konkɔn so nyinaa fii hɔ.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
Afoforo a wofi Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ hintabea hɔ.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the Elohim of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
Dawid kohyiaa wɔn kae se, “Sɛ moaba asomdwoe so sɛ morebɛboa me a, yɛyɛ nnamfo. Na sɛ moaba sɛ morebeyi me ama mʼatamfo wɔ bere a menyɛɛ bɔne bi a, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn nhwɛ mmu mo atɛn.”
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy Elohim helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Na honhom no sii Amasai a akyiri no ɔbɛyɛɛ Aduasa no so panyin no so, na ɔkae se, “Yɛyɛ wo dea, Dawid! Yɛwɔ wʼafa, Yisai ba; Asomdwoe ne nkɔso nyɛ wo kyɛfa na wʼaboafo nyinaa nya nkɔso, efisɛ wo Nyankopɔn ne nea ɔboa wo.” Enti Dawid ma wɔbɛkaa ne ho, na ɔyɛɛ wɔn mpanyimfo wɔ nʼakofo mu.
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the rulers of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
Manase mmarima no bi tew wɔn ho kɔdɔm Dawid, bere a na ɔne Filistifo no rekɔko atia Saulo no. Nanso asɛm no ani dan a Filistifo ntuanofo ampene so sɛ Dawid ne ne mmarima no bɛka wɔn ho akɔ. Wodwinnwen ho ara no, wɔma wɔsan wɔn akyi kae se, “Sɛ Dawid dan nʼani kɔ Saulo afa de tia yɛn a, yɛn nkwa na yɛde betwa so.”
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
Manase mmarima a wɔtew wɔn ho kɔɔ Dawid afa, bere a na ɔresan akɔ Siklag no ne Adna, Yosabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yosabad, Elihu ne Siletai. Na wɔn mu biara da asraafo apem ano.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
Wɔboaa Dawid ma ɔtaa afowfo no, efisɛ na wɔyɛ akokodurufo ne akofo akɛse a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakofo mu.
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of Elohim.
Adekyee biara, mmarima bebree kɔdɔm Dawid kosii sɛ onyaa asraafodɔm a ɛso te sɛ Onyankopɔn de.
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of YHWH.
Eyinom ne akofo akɛse dodow a wɔdɔm Dawid wɔ Hebron no. Na wɔn nyinaa pɛ sɛ Dawid si Saulo anan mu di hene, sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ ato hɔ no.
24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
Akofo akɛse a wofi Yuda abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem asia ne ahanwɔtwe a wokurakura nkatabo ne mpeaw.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
Akofo akɛse a wofi Simeon abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem ason ne ɔha.
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
Asraafo a na wofi Lewi abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem anan ne ahansia.
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
Na Yehoiada a otua Aaron abusua no ano no wɔ asraafo mpem abiɛsa ne ahanson a wɔhyɛ nʼase.
28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
Saa ara nso na na Sadok, ɔbabun ɔkofo kɛse ne nʼabusuafo aduonu abien a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asraafo mpanyimfo ka ho.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.
Akofo akɛse a wofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu a wɔyɛ Saulo abusuafo no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem abiɛsa. Na Benyaminfo no mu fa kɛse no taa Saulo akyi ara.
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
Akofo akɛse a wofi Efraim abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduonu ne ahanwɔtwe a wɔn mu biara agye din wɔ nʼabusua mu.
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
Manase abusuakuw fa a na ɛwɔ Yordan atɔe fam no nso, wotuu mmarima mpem dunwɔtwe a wɔn botae ara ne sɛ wɔbɛboaa Dawid ma wadi hene.
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
Ntuanofo a wofi Isakar abusuakuw mu ne wɔn abusuafo dodow yɛ ahannu. Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa te nsɛm a ɛrekɔ so saa bere no ase, na wonim ɔkwan pa a eye ma Israel nso.
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
Akofo a wɔakwadaw akodi mu a wofi Sebulon abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduonum. Na wɔakɔ amia mu ayɛ krado ama akodi, na na wɔtaa Dawid akyi pintinn.
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
Wɔn a wofi Naftali abusuakuw mu no yɛ asraafo mpanyimfo apem ne akofo akɛse mpem aduasa ason a wokurakura nkatabo ne mpeaw.
35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.

37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
Ruben, Gad mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw fa a na wɔtete Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no maa asraafo mpem ɔha ne aduonu a wɔwɔ akode ahorow nyinaa.
38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
Saa asraafo yi nyinaa kɔɔ amia mu na wɔkɔɔ Hebron a wɔn botae ara ne sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ Israelhene. Nokware, Israel nyinaa adwene kɔɔ bɛnkorɔ mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Dawid na ɔyɛ wɔn hene.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
Wɔne Dawid didi nomee nnansa, efisɛ na wɔn abusuafo no ayɛ ahoboa rehwɛ wɔn kwan.
40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
Nnipa bi a wofi akyiri te sɛ Isakar, Sebulon, ne Naftali de nnuan tenaa wɔn mfurum, yoma ne anantwi so bae. Wɔde asikresiam, ɔfam, ɛhyɛ, nsa, ngo, anantwi ne nguan bebree baa afahyɛ no ase. Anigye a enni kabea baa Israel asase so.
