< 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.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid dwane firii Kis babarima Saulo anim kɔhintaa wɔ Siklag no, saa mmarima yi kɔdɔmm no. Na wɔka nnɔmmarima a wɔboa Dawid wɔ akodie mu.
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 agyantofoɔ toamfomfoɔ. Na wɔtumi de wɔn nsa benkum ne nifa nyinaa to agyan ne ahwimmoɔ. Na wɔn nyinaa yɛ Saulo abusuafoɔ a wɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo 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 deɛ ɔtua wɔn ano yɛ Semaa a ɔfiri Gibea no babarima Ahieser. Na ne nuabarima ne Yoas a ɔyɛ nʼabadiakyire. Yeinom ne nnɔmmarima no nkaeɛ: Asmawet mmammarima Yesiel ne Pelet; Beraka ne Yehu a wɔfiri 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 ɔfiri Gibeon, ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ ne ntuanoni wɔ Aduasa no mu; Yeremia, Yahasiel, Yohanan ne Yosabad a wɔfiri Gedera;
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
Elusai, Yerimot, Bealia, Semaria, ne Sefatia a ɔfiri Harif;
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
Elkana, Yesia, Asarel, Yoeser, Yasobeam a wɔyɛ Korafoɔ;
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Yoela, Sebadia, Yeroham mmammarima a wɔfiri 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;
Gadfoɔ akofoɔ akokoɔdurufoɔ bi a wɔakwadare akodie mu dwane kɔɔ Dawid afa ɛberɛ a na ɔwɔ abanbɔeɛ mu wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Na wɔyɛ anintini wɔ nkataboɔ ne pea akodie mu a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ gyata, na wɔn ho yɛ hare te sɛ mmepɔ so atwe.
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Eser na na ɔtua wɔn ano. Obadia yɛ abadiakyire. Eliab na ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa.
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Deɛ ɔtɔ so ɛnan ne Mismana. Deɛ ɔtɔ so enum ne Yeremia.
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Atai tɔ so nsia, Eliel tɔ so nson.
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Yohanan tɔ so nwɔtwe, Elsabad tɔ so nkron.
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
Yeremia tɔ so edu, Makbanai tɔ 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 nnɔmmarima a wɔfiri Gad yi yɛ asahene. Deɛ ɔnyɛ den koraa no, ɔtumi ne asraafoɔ ɔha ko, ɛnna deɛ ɔyɛ den no tumi ne asraafoɔ 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 ahyɛaseɛ a Asubɔnten Yordan ayiri no, wɔtwa kɔpamoo nnipa a wɔtete tata so wɔ nʼapueeɛ ne nʼatɔeɛ nkonkɔn so nyinaa firii hɔ.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
Afoforɔ a wɔfiri Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ abanbɔeɛ 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 God of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke [it].
Dawid kɔhyiaa wɔn kaa sɛ, “Sɛ moaba asomdwoeɛ so sɛ morebɛboa me a, yɛyɛ nnamfo. Na sɛ moaba sɛ morebɛyi me ama mʼatamfoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a menyɛɛ bɔne bi a, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn 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 God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Na honhom no sii Amasai a akyire no ɔbɛyɛɛ Aduasa no so panin no so, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛyɛ wo dea, Dawid! Yɛwɔ wʼafa, Yisai ba; Asomdwoeɛ ne nkɔsoɔ nyɛ wo kyɛfa na wʼaboafoɔ nyinaa nnya nkɔsoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wo Onyankopɔn ne deɛ ɔboa wo.” Enti, Dawid maa wɔbɛkaa ne ho, na ɔyɛɛ wɔn mpanimfoɔ wɔ nʼakodɔm 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 lords 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 tee wɔn ho kɔdɔmm Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔne Filistifoɔ no rekɔko atia Saulo no. Nanso, asɛm no ani daneeɛ a Filistifoɔ ntuanofoɔ ampene so sɛ Dawid ne ne mmarima no bɛka wɔn ho akɔ. Wɔdwendwenee ho ara no, wɔmaa wɔsanee wɔn akyi kaa sɛ, “Sɛ Dawid dane nʼani kɔ Saulo afa de tia yɛn a, yɛn nkwa na yɛde bɛtwa 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 wɔwae kɔɔ Dawid afa wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔresane akɔ Siklag no ne Adna, Yosabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yosabad, Elihu ne Siletai. Na wɔn mu biara da akodɔm 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 maa ɔtaa afomfafoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔyɛ akokoɔdurufoɔ ne akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakodɔm 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 God.
Adekyeeɛ biara, mmarima bebree kɔdɔm Dawid kɔsii sɛ ɔnyaa asraadɔm a ɛso te sɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ.
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 the LORD.
Yeinom ne akofoɔ akɛseɛ dodoɔ a wɔdɔm Dawid wɔ Hebron no. Na wɔn nyinaa pɛ sɛ Dawid si Saulo anan mu di ɔhene, sɛdeɛ 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.
Akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔfiri Yuda abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem nsia ne aha nwɔtwe a wɔkurakura nkataboɔ ne mpea.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
Akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔfiri Simeon abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem nson ne ɔha.
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
Akodɔm a na wɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem ɛnan ne ahansia.
27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;
Na Yehoiada a ɔtua Aaron abusua no ano no wɔ akodɔm mpem mmiɛnsa 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, ɔbabunu ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ ne nʼabusuafoɔ aduonu mmienu a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ 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.
Akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo mu a wɔyɛ Saulo abusuafoɔ no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem mmiɛnsa. Na Benyaminfoɔ no mu fa kɛseɛ 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.
Akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔfiri Efraim abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem aduonu ne aha nwɔtwe a wɔn mu biara agye edin 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 abusuakuo fa a na ɛwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam no nso, wɔtuu mmarima mpem dunwɔtwe a wɔn botaeɛ ara ne sɛ wɔbɛboaa Dawid ma wadi ɔhene.
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.
Ntuanofoɔ a wɔfiri Isakar abusuakuo mu ne wɔn abusuafoɔ dodoɔ yɛ ahanu. Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa te nsɛm a ɛrekɔ so saa ɛberɛ no ase, na wɔnim ɛkwan pa a ɛyɛ 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.
Akofoɔ a wɔakwadare akodie mu a wɔfiri Sebulon abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem aduonum. Na wɔakɔ amia mu ayɛ krado ama akodie, 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 wɔfiri Naftali abusuakuo mu no yɛ asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ apem ne akofoɔ akɛseɛ mpem aduasa nson a wɔkurakura nkataboɔ ne mpea.
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.
Akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔatete wɔn yie a wɔfiri Aser abusuakuo mu no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem aduanan a wɔn nyinaa ayɛ krado ama ɔko.
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 mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa a na wɔtete Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no maa asraadɔm mpem ɔha ne aduonu a wɔwɔ akodeɛ ahodoɔ 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 asraafoɔ yi nyinaa kɔɔ amia mu na wɔkɔɔ Hebron a wɔn botaeɛ ara ne sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ Israelhene. Nokorɛm, Israel nyinaa adwene kɔɔ bɛnkorɔ mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Dawid na ɔyɛ wɔn ɔhene.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
Wɔne Dawid didiiɛ, nomeeɛ nnansa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn abusuafoɔ no ayɛ ahoboa rehwɛ wɔn ɛkwan.
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 wɔfiri akyiri te sɛ Isakar, Sebulon, ne Naftali de nnuane tenaa wɔn mfunumu, nyoma ne anantwie so baeɛ. Wɔde asikyiresiam, ɔfam, ɛhyɛ, nsã, ngo, anantwie ne nnwan bebree baa afahyɛ no ase. Anigyeɛ a ɛnni kabea baa Israel asase so.
