1 Chronicles 12
1 Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still kept from the presence of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in 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 slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow: they were of Saul's brothers 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 Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite,
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 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty, and over the Thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad 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 Baaliah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
Elusai, Yerimot, Bealia, Semaria, ne Sefatia a ɔfiri Harif;
6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites,
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 Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes on 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 chief, 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, Machbannai the eleventh.
Yeremia tɔ so edu, Makbanai tɔ so dubaako.
14 These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one 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 those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its 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 There came of the people of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.
Afoforɔ a wɔfiri Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ abanbɔeɛ hɔ.
17 David went out to meet them, and answered them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may 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 Ruach came on Amasai, who was chief of the Thirty, and he said, "We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you." 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 Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they did not help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, "He will fall away 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 Zillethai, captains of thousands who 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 They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.
Wɔboaa Dawid maa ɔtaa afomfafoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔyɛ akokoɔdurufoɔ ne akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakodɔm mu.
22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.
Adekyeeɛ biara, mmarima bebree kɔdɔm Dawid kɔsii sɛ ɔnyaa asraadɔm a ɛso te sɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ.
23 These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who 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 people of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war.

27 Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; 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 valor, and of his father's house twenty-two captains.
Saa ara nso na na Sadok, ɔbabunu ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ ne nʼabusuafoɔ aduonu mmienu a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ ka ho.
29 Of the people of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to 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 Of the people of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers' houses.

31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were mentioned 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 Of the people of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers 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 were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war, fifty thousand, to help David and 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 Of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.

37 On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle, one hundred 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 being men of war, who could order the battle array, 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 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had made preparation for them.
Wɔne Dawid didiiɛ, nomeeɛ nnansa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn abusuafoɔ no ayɛ ahoboa rehwɛ wɔn ɛkwan.
40 Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and cattle, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel.
