1 Chronicles 14

1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with stone workers and carpenters, to build him an 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 perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up 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 David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David brings forth more sons and daughters.

Afei, Dawid waree mmaa bebree wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔwowoo mmammarima ne mmammaa bebree.

4 Now these are the names of his children which 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 Elpalet,

Yibhar, Elisua, ne Elifelet,

6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Noga, Nefeg ne Yafia,

7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

Elisama, Beeliada ne Elifelet.

8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and 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 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Na Filistifoɔ no abɛduru Refaim bɔnhwa mu, asɛe hɔ pasaa.

10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.

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 came up to Baalperazim; and David stroke them there. Then David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking out of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

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 when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

Filistifoɔ no gyaa wɔn ahoni nyinaa hɔ enti, Dawid hyɛ maa wɔhyee ne nyinaa.

13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

Nanso, ankyɛre biara, Filistifoɔ no sane baa bɔnhwa no mu bɛsɛee hɔ.

14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry 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 it shall be, when you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle: for God is gone forth before you to strike the host 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 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they stroke the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

Enti, Dawid yɛɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, na ɔkaa Filistifoɔ akodɔm no guiɛ firi Gibeon de kɔsii Geser.

17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

Na Dawid edin hyetaa baabiara, na Awurade maa aman no nyinaa suroo Dawid.
