< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 And all Israel is gathered to David at Hebron, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;
Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafoɔ.
2 even in time past, even in Saul’s being king, it is you who are taking out and bringing in Israel, and your God YHWH says to you: You feed My people Israel, and you are leader over My people Israel.”
Mmerɛ tenten bi a atwam, mpo ɛberɛ a Saulo di yɛn so ɔhene no, na wone obi a nokorɛm na wodi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Wobɛyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifoɔ.’”
3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king at Hebron, and David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Samuel.
Enti, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofoɔ no yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Hebron. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛdeɛ Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
4 And David goes, and all Israel, to Jerusalem—it [is] Jebus—and the Jebusite [is] there, the inhabitants of the land.
Na Dawid ne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem anaa Yebus, sɛdeɛ na wɔfrɛ hɔ kane no, ɛfiri sɛ, Yebusifoɔ na wɔkɔtenaa asase no so kane kyekyereeɛ.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, “You do not come in here”; and David captures the fortress of Zion—it [is] the City of David.
Nnipa a wɔfiri Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Worentumi mma ha da biara da.” Nanso, Dawid faa aban a na ɛwɔ Sion a wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kuro no.
6 And David says, “Whoever strikes the Jebusite first becomes head and prince”; and Joab son of Zeruiah goes up first and becomes head.
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm no sɛ, “Mo mu biara a ɔbɛdi anim na yɛakɔto ahyɛ Yebusifoɔ no so no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakodɔm so sahene.” Na Dawid nuabaa Seruia babarima Yoab dii ntohyɛsoɔ no anim, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Dawid akodɔm so sahene.
7 And David dwells in the fortress, therefore they have called it the City of David;
Dawid tenaa aban no mu, na ɛno enti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid kuro no.
8 and he builds the city all around, from Millo, and to the circumference, and Joab restores the rest of the city.
Dawid kyekyeree kuro no, trɛɛ mu firi Milo de twaa ho hyiaeɛ, ɛberɛ a na Yoab nso rekyekyere Yerusalem nkaeɛ no.
9 And David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH of Hosts [is] with him.
Na Dawid tumi yɛɛ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Asafo Awurade ka ne ho.
10 And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David has, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of YHWH, over Israel.
Yeinom ne Dawid nnɔmmarima ntuanofoɔ. Wɔne Israel nyinaa boom, sii gyinaeɛ sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn so ɔhene sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ bɔ afa Israel ho no.
11 And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David has: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred—wounded, at one time.
Dawid nnɔmmarima no ho nsɛm nie: Deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no ne Yasobeam, a ɔyɛ Hakmonini a na ɔda Baasa no ano sɛ ɔsahene—Baasa no yɛ nnɔmmarima akatakyie a na wɔwɔ Dawid asraafoɔ mu. Ɛberɛ bi, ɔde ne pea kunkumm atamfoɔ ahasa wɔ akodie baako mu.
12 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;
Deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu wɔ Baasa no mu no yɛ Dodo babarima Eleasa a ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni.
13 he has been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,
Ɛberɛ a Dawid sɔre tiaa Filistifoɔ wɔ Pas-Damim no, na ɔka ne ho. Ɔko no sii wɔ baabi a na ɛyɛ atokofuo nko, na Israel asraafoɔ no dwaneeɛ.
14 and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and strike the Philistines, and YHWH saves [with] a great salvation.
Nanso, Eleasa ne Dawid gyinaa wɔn nan so wɔ afuo no mfimfini, bɔɔ Filistifoɔ guiɛ. Na Awurade maa wɔdii nkonim de gyee wɔn.
15 And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the Valley of Rephaim,
Ɛda bi a Dawid wɔ ɔbotan bi a ɛbɛn Adulam ɔbodan ho no, na Filistifoɔ asraadɔm akyere sraban wɔ Refaim bɔnhwa mu. Baasa no a na wɔka Aduasa no a wɔagye edin wɔ Dawid akodɔm mu no siane kɔhyiaa no wɔ hɔ.
16 and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Dawid te abanbɔeɛ mu hɔ a na Filistifoɔ akodɔm kuo bi akɔtena Betlehem.
17 and David longs and says, “Who gives me water to drink from the well of Beth-Lehem that [is] at the gate!”
Dawid firi akɔnnɔ mu kaeɛ sɛ, “Ao me kɔn dɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ abura a ɛwɔ Betlehem no bi; deɛ ɛbɛn ɛpono ano no bi.”
18 And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem that [is] at the gate, and carry and bring [it] to David, and David has not been willing to drink it, and pours it out to YHWH,
Enti, Baasa no bɔ wuraa Filistifoɔ no mu, kɔsaa abura no mu nsuo no bi de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso, Dawid annom. Mmom, ɔhwie guu Awurade anim
19 and says, “Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; do I drink the blood of these men with their lives? For with their lives they have brought it”; and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] the three mighty ones did.
teaam sɛ, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom saa nsuo yi. Ɛsom bo te sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ afɔdeɛ kɔsa brɛɛ me no mogya.” Enti, Dawid annom. Yei yɛ Baasa no mmaninsɛm no bi nhwɛsoɔ.
20 And Abishai brother of Joab, he has been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred—wounded, and has a name among three.
Yoab nuabarima Abisai na na ɔtua Aduasa no ano. Ɔno na ɔde ne pea kunkumm atamfoɔ no mu ahasa. Saa mmaninsɛm yi enti na ɔgyee edin te sɛ Baasa no.
21 Of the three he is more honored than the [other] two, and becomes their head; but he has not come to the [first] three.
Abisai na na ne din ahyeta yie wɔ Aduasa no mu sɛ wɔn sahene, nanso na ɔnka Baasa no ho.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valor, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he has struck the two lion-like Moabites, and he has gone down and struck the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.
Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia a ɔfiri Kabseel no nso wɔ hɔ. Na ɔno nso di mmaninsɛm. Ɔyɛɛ bebree a emu baako ne sɛ ɔkunkumm Moab akofoɔ akɛseɛ baanu bi. Ɛberɛ foforɔ bi nso, ɔtaa gyata maa aboa no kɔtɔɔ amena mu. Na sukyerɛmma ama fam ayɛ toro, nanso, ɔkyeree gyata no kumm no.
23 And he has struck the man, the Egyptian, a man of [great] measure—five by the cubit—and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear like a weavers’ beam, and he goes down to him with a rod, and violently takes away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slays him with his own spear.
Ɛda bi a na ɔkura aporibaa nko ara no, ɔkumm Misraimni ɔkofoɔ bi a na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Na ne pea no mu pipiripie te sɛ ntomanwomfoɔ nsadua. Benaia hwam pea no firii Misraimni no nsam, de kumm no.
24 These [things] Benaiah son of Jehoiada has done, and has a name among the three mighty ones.
Yeinom ne mmaninsɛm a ɛmaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia gyee edin te sɛ Baasa no.
25 Of the thirty, behold, he [is] honored, but he has not come to the [first] three, and David sets him over his guard.
Wɔhyɛɛ no animuonyam sene nkaeɛ a wɔka Aduasa no ho no, nanso na ɔmfra Baasa no mu. Na Dawid yɛɛ no ne ho awɛmfoɔ no so sahene.
