1 Chronicles 18
1 And it canto to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and took Gath and her villages, out of the hand of the Philistines.
Eyi akyi no, Dawid ko dii Gat ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no so nkonim, de kaa Filistifo no hyɛe, brɛɛ wɔn ase.
2 And he smote Moab, —and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.
Bio, Dawid dii Moab asase no so nkonim, maa Moabfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wotua sonkahiri ma no.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, —as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.
Afei, Dawid tɔree ɔhene Hadadeser a ofi Soba asraafo ase de kosii Hamat, bere a Hadadeser bɔɔ nsra wɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho sɛ anka ɔrehyɛ ne tumi mu den no.
4 And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.
Dawid ko gyee nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafo mpem ason ne asraafo anantefo mpem aduonu. Afei, obubuu apɔnkɔ a wɔtwe nteaseɛnam no nyinaa anan, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
Bere a Aramfo fi Damasko bae sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkum wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien.
6 And David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and so it was that the Syrians became, David’s, servants, bearers of a present, —so Yahweh gave victory to David, whithersoever he went.
Afei, ɔde asraafo guu Damasko, Aram ahenkurow mu, maa Aramfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wɔbrɛ no sonkahiri. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze, —therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
Ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae bebree a efi Hadadeser nkuropɔn Tibhat ne Kun kaa ho bae. Akyiri no, Salomo nan kɔbere mfrafrae no de yɛɛ asɔredan no ho adwuma. Ɔde yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafrae Po na ɔde bi yɛɛ afadum ne kɔbere nkuku ne nkaka a wɔde di dwuma wɔ asɔredan no mu.
9 And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
Bere a Hamathene Tou tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,
10 he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer, —and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;
ɔsomaa ne babarima Hadoram ma ɔkɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn kɔmaa no mo wɔ ne nkonimdi no ho. Na Hadadeser ne Tou atan wɔn ho akyɛ, a na akokoakoko aba wɔn ntam. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne kɔbere mfrafrae bebree.
11 them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, —from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Ɔhene Dawid hyiraa saa akyɛde yi nyinaa so maa Awurade, a dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔfa fii aman foforo a ɔkaa wɔn hyɛe no so no nyinaa ka ho. Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filisti ne Amalek.
12 Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt, —eighteen thousand;
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu.
13 and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.
Ɔde asraafo duaduaa Edom nyinaa, maa Edomfo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Eyi yɛ sɛnea Awurade maa Dawid dii nkonim wɔ baabiara a ɔkɔe no nhwɛso.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, —and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
15 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;
Na Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
16 and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Shavsha, was scribe;
Ahitub babarima Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Abimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfo. Sawsa na na ɔyɛ asennii kyerɛwfo.
17 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, were first, in attendance on the king.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so. Dawid mmabarima somee sɛ ɔhene aboafo mpanyimfo.
