2 Samuel 8

1 And it came to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and David took 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 smote Moab, and measured them with the line casting, them down to the ground, and be measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive, —so the Moabites became David’s, as servants, bringing gifts.

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 smote Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, —when he went to lay his hand on 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 captured from him, a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, but reserved of them, a hundred chariots.

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, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.

Bere a Aramfo a wofi Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kum wɔn mu mpem aduonu.

6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became David’s, as servants bringing gifts, —and so Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.

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 took the shields of gold which had come to the servants of Hadadezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;

Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.

8 also, from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, did King David take bronze, exceeding much.

Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkurow no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔe.

9 And, when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer,

Bere a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,

10 then Tou sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had smitten him, for Hadadezer had had wars with Tou, —and, in his hand, were 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 Them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, —with the silver and the gold which he had hallowed from all the nations which he had 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 from Syria, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, —and from 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 made a name, when he returned from his smiting of the Syrians 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 put, in Edom, garrisons, throughout all Edom, put be garrisons, and so it was that all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.

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 reigned over all Israel, —and so it was that David used to execute justice and righteousness for all his people;

Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.

16 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was remembrancer.

Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.

17 And, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Seraiah, was 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 Jehoiadah, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, became, chief rulers.

Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so, na Dawid mmabarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
