2 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass afterward that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and David takes the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
Akyiri no, Dawid dii Filistifo no so, brɛɛ wɔn ase. Ɔko gyee Gat a ɛyɛ wɔn kuropɔn kɛse no.
2 And he strikes Moab, and measures them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measures two lines to put to death, and the fullness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are for servants to David, bearers of a present.
Dawid san dii Moabfo so. Ɔmaa nnipa no dedaa fam, na ɔde hama susuw wɔn. Osusuw hama no abien a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wonkum saa nnipa no. Ɛnna osusuw hama no baako a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wonnyaa saa nkurɔfo no. Enti Moabfo a wonyaa wɔn ti didii mu no bɛyɛɛ Dawid asomfo a na afe biara woyi tow brɛ no.
3 And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
Dawid sɛe Rehob babarima Hadadeser a na odi hene wɔ Soba no akofo, bere a Hadadeser kɔɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho, pɛe sɛ ɔkɔhyɛ ne nniso mu den no.
4 and David captures from him one thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys the whole of the charioteers; he leaves only one hundred of their charioteers.
Dawid kyeree ne nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafo mpem ason ne asraafo a wɔnam mpem aduonu. Dawid twitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntin, na ogyaw mu ɔha pɛ.
5 And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
Bere a Aramfo a wofi Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kum wɔn mu mpem aduonu.
6 and David puts garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is for a servant to David, carrying a present; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone;
Na ɔde asraafo a wɔyɛ bansifo kɔtenaa Damasko, maa Aramfo bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkurɔfo a na woyi tow brɛ no. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkurow no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔe.
9 And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
Bere a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,
10 and Toi sends his son Joram to King David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him (because that he has fought against Hadadezer, and strikes him, for Hadadezer had been a man of wars [with] Toi), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze,
ɔsomaa ne babarima Yoram kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, kokyiaa no maa no mo. Na Hadadeser ne Toi yɛ atamfo fi teteete a wɔako atia wɔn ho wɔn ho mpɛn pii. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid nneɛma bebree a ɛyɛ, dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne kɔbere mfrafrae.
11 also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
Ɔhene Dawid too akyɛde no nyinaa din de maa Awurade a, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a onya fii aman bi a odii wɔn so no nyinaa ka ho.
12 of Aram, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia, Amalek ne nea efi Sobahene Rehob babarima Hadadeser nkyɛn nso.
13 And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
Eyi maa Dawid gyee din. Ɔsan nʼakyi kɔe no, okunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon mu.
14 and he puts garrisons in Edom—he has put garrisons in all of Edom, and all Edom are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
Ɔde asraafo bansifo tuatuaa Edom nyinaa ano. Na Edomfo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Eyi yɛ nhwɛso foforo a ɛkyerɛɛ nkonim a Awurade maa Dawid dii wɔ baabiara a ɔkɔe no.
15 And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
16 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
17 and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
Sadok a na ɔyɛ Ahitub babarima ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfo. Na Seraia yɛ asennii kyerɛwfo.
18 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so, na Dawid mmabarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
