2 Samuel 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;
Afei, Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo.
2 also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader over Israel.”
Mmere bi a atwa mu no a mpo, na Saulo yɛ yɛn hene no, wo ara na wudii Israel anim. Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ me manfo Israel so guanhwɛfo. Wobɛyɛ wɔn kannifo.’”
3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel.
Enti Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo no yɛɛ apam wɔ Hebron Awurade anim. Na wɔsraa no ngo sii no Israelhene.
4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;
Dawid dii ade no, na wanya mfirihyia aduasa. Na odii ade mfirihyia aduanan.
5 he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.
Ɔtenaa Hebron dii ade wɔ Yuda so mfirihyia ason ne asram asia. Na ɔtenaa Yerusalem no nso, odii Israel ne Yuda nyinaa so hene mfirihyia aduasa abiɛsa.
6 And the king goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”
Dawid dii nʼakofo anim kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔko tiaa Yebusifo. Yebusifo no dii wɔn ho fɛw se, “Morentumi mma ha. Na mpo, anifuraefo ne mmubuafo betu mo afi ha.” Efisɛ na Yebusifo no dwene sɛ wɔwɔ bammɔ.
7 And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.
Nanso Dawid ko faa Sion aban no a mprempren wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kuropɔn no.
8 And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”
Bere a animka nkra fi bammɔfo a wɔwɔ kurow no mu duu Dawid asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne dɔm no se, “Momfa nsudorobɛn no mu nkɔ kurow no mu, na monkɔsɛe Yebusifo mpakye ne anifuraefo no, efisɛ mikyi wɔn! Ɛno nti na wɔka se, ‘Anifuraefo ne mpakye’ renkɔ ahemfi” no.
9 And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nʼatenae wɔ abandennen na ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid Kuropɔn no mu. Osisii bammɔ adan bebree twaa kurow no ho kaa ho. Wofii dwumadi no ase wɔ Milo de baa mu.
10 and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.
Na Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ kɛse adekyee biara, efisɛ na Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn ka ne ho.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,
Afei, Tirohene Huram somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn a nnua dwumfo ne abo adansifo ka wɔn ho sɛ wonkosi ahemfi mma no. Huram de sida nnua bebree kɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔmpae.
12 and David knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.
Na Dawid huu sɛ, ne nkurɔfo Israelfo nti, Awurade asi no hene, na wayɛ nʼaheman kɛse.
13 And again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons and daughters.
Dawid tu fi Hebron baa Yerusalem no, ɔwaree mmea bebree, faa mpenanom nso. Ɛno nti, ɔwoo mmabarima ne mmabea bebree.
14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Eyinom ne Dawid mmabarima a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elisama, Eliada ne Elifelet.
17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,
Bere a Filistifo tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid, de no asi Israelhene no, wɔboaboaa wɔn asraafo ano, kɔhwehwɛɛ Dawid sɛ wobenya no akyere no. Na Dawid tee no, ɔno nso kɔɔ ne ban mu.
18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Afei, Filistifo no beduu Refaim bon mu, na wɔtrɛtrɛw wɔn ho mu wɔ hɔ.
19 And David asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
Enti Dawid bisaa Awurade se, “Menkɔtow nhyɛ Filistifo yi so ana? Wobɛdan wɔn ahyɛ me nsa ana?” Awurade buaa no se, “Yiw, kɔ na mɛdan Filistifo no ahyɛ wo nsa.”
20 And David comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.
Enti Dawid kɔɔ Baal-Perasim, na ɛhɔ na odii Filistifo no so nkonim. Ɔkae se, “Awurade ayɛ! Ɔbɔ wuraa mʼatamfo no mu sɛ nsuyiri a ɛworo so!” Enti Dawid too beae hɔ din se Baal-Perasim.
21 And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.
Filistifo no gyaw wɔn ahoni wɔ hɔ, maa Dawid ne ne mmarima no soaa ne nyinaa kɔe.
22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,
Filistifo no san baa bio bɛtrɛtrɛw wɔn ho mu wɔ Refaim bon ho,
23 and David asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,
enti Dawid bisaa Awurade nea ɔnyɛ. Awurade buae se, “Nkɔ tee, mmom, twa fa wɔn ho wɔ wɔn akyi, na tow hyɛ wɔn so wɔ baka nnua no anim.
24 and it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp of the Philistines.”
Na sɛ wote nnyigyei te sɛ nsrabɔ bi wɔ baka nnua no atifi a, bɔ toa wɔn! Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade atu di wʼanim rekokunkum Filistifo no.”
25 And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nea Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no, na ɔsɛee Filistifo no fi Geba de kosii Geser.
