1 Samuel 30
1 And it was when came David and men his Ziklag on the day third and [the] Amalekite[s] they had made a raid against [the] Negev and against Ziklag and they had struck Ziklag and they had burned it with fire.
Nnansa so, Dawid ne ne mmarima koduu Siklag. Na Amalekfo abɛtow ahyɛ Negeb so ahyew Siklag pasaa,
2 And they had taken captive the women who [were] in it from small and unto great not they had killed anyone and they had driven them away and they had gone to way their.
akyekyeree mmea ne mmofra ne mpanyin a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔe.
3 And he came David and men his to the city and there! [it was] burned with fire and wives their and sons their and daughters their they had been taken captive.
Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no huu sɛnea Siklag asɛe ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafo no,
4 And he lifted up David and the people which [was] with him voice their and they wept until that not [was] in them strength to weep.
wotwaa agyaadwo ara kosii sɛ afei na wontumi ntwa agyaadwo no bio.
5 And [the] two [the] wives of David they had been taken captive Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Dawid yerenom baanu a wɔne Yesreelni Ahinoam ne Karmelni Abigail a na ɔyɛ Nabal yere no ka wɔn a wɔsoaa wɔn kɔe no ho.
6 And it was distress to David exceedingly for they said the people to stone him for it was bitter [the] soul of all the people everyone on (sons his *Q(K)*) and on daughters his and he strengthened himself David in Yahweh God his.
Dawid ho yeraw no yiye, efisɛ na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wobesiw no abo, esiane wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea a wɔakyekyere wɔn no nti. Nanso Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn mu.
7 And he said David to Abiathar the priest [the] son of Ahimelech bring near! please to me the ephod and he brought near Abiathar the ephod to David.
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Abiatar se, “Fa asɔfotade no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de bae.
8 And he enquired David by Yahweh saying will I pursue? after the marauding band this ¿ will I overtake it and he said to him pursue for certainly you will overtake [it] and certainly you will rescue [them].
Na Dawid bisaa Awurade se, “Mintiw dɔm no ana? Mɛto wɔn ana?” Awurade buaa no se, “Yiw, tiw wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afi mo nkyɛn no, mo nsa bɛka ne nyinaa.”
9 And he went David he and six hundred man who [were] with him and they came to [the] wadi of Besor and those [who] were left behind they remained.
Enti Dawid ne ne mmarima ahansia no sii kwan so. Ankyɛ biara na woduu Besor asuwa no so.
10 And he pursued David he and four hundred man and they remained two hundred man who they were [too] exhausted for passing over [the] wadi of Besor.
Nanso mmarima no mu ahannu de, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yiye nti wɔantumi antwa asu no. Ɛno nti, Dawid de asraafo ahannan a wɔaka no toaa so.
11 And they found a man Egyptian in the open country and they took him to David and they gave to him bread and he ate and they gave to drink him water.
Asraafo no bi huu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wuram hɔ ma wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no brodo sɛ onni ne nsu sɛ ɔnnom.
12 And they gave to him a slice of fig cake and two bunches of raisins and he ate and it returned spirit his to him for not he had eaten food and not he had drunk water three days and three nights.
Wɔsan maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba ɔbɔnta, efisɛ na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa; awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛ na onyaa ahoɔden.
13 And he said to him David [belong] to whom? you and where? from this [are] you and he said [am] a young man Egyptian I a slave of a man Amalekite and he abandoned me master my if I was sick the day three.
Dawid bisaa no se, “Hena nipa ne wo, na wufi he?” Obuae se, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaw me hɔ, efisɛ na meyare.
14 We we had made a raid [the] Negev of the Kerethite[s] and on [that] which [belongs] to Judah and on [the] Negev of Caleb and Ziklag we had burned with fire.
Yɛkɔtoaa Keretifo wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyew Siklag.”
15 And he said to him David ¿ will you take down me to the marauding band this and he said swear! to me by God if you will kill me and if you will deliver up me in [the] hand of master my and I will take down you to the marauding band this.
Dawid bisaa no se, “Enti wubedi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberante no buae se, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensan mfa me mma me wura de a, ɛno de, medi wʼanim de wo akɔ.”
16 And he took down him and there! [they were] spread out over [the] face of all the land eating and drinking and celebrating in all the plunder great which they had taken from [the] land of [the] Philistines and from [the] land of Judah.
Na Misraimni no dii wɔn anim kɔɔ Amalekfo no atenae. Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duu hɔ no, na Amalekfo no ahwete wɔ sare no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛw resaw, efisɛ na wɔanya asade bebree afi Filistifo nkyɛn ne Yuda asase so.
17 And he struck down them David from the twilight and until the evening of next day their and not he escaped of them anyone that except four hundred man young man who they rode on the camels and they fled.
Dawid ne ne mmarima to hyɛɛ wɔn so, kunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kosii adekyee no anwummere. Amalekfo no mu biara antumi anguan, gye mmarima ahannan a wɔtenatenaa yoma so guanee no.
18 And he rescued David all that they had taken Amalek and [the] two wives his he rescued David.
Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfo no fae, san gyee ne yerenom baanu no.
19 And not it was missing to them from the small and unto the great and unto sons and daughters and from [the] booty and unto all that they had taken for themselves everything he brought back David.
Biribiara anyera; sɛ ɛyɛ akumaa anaa ɔpanyin, abarimaa anaa abeawa anaa biribiara a wɔfae sɛ asade no, Dawid de ne nyinaa san bae.
20 And he took David all the sheep and the cattle they drove [them] before the livestock that and they said this [is] [the] booty of David.
Nʼakofo no kaa nguan ne anantwi no de wɔn bae. Na wɔkae se, “Eyinom nyinaa yɛ Dawid asade.”
21 And he came David to two hundred the men who they had been [too] exhausted - for going - after David and they had left behind them at [the] wadi of Besor and they went out to meet David and to meet the people which [was] with him and he approached David the people and he asked of them to welfare.
Na woduu Besor asuwa no so no, wohuu mmarima ahannu a ɔbrɛ dodow nti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyiaa wɔn anigye so.
22 And he answered every man evil and worthlessness from the men who they had gone with David and they said because that not they went with me not we will give to them any of the booty which we have recovered that except everyone wife his and children his so they may lead [them] away and they may go.
Nanso Dawid mmarima no mu asɛmpɛfo bi kae se, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ nti, wɔrennya asade no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, womfi yɛn ani so nkɔ.”
23 And he said David not you must do thus O brothers my [that] which he has given Yahweh to us and he has kept us and he has given the marauding band which came on us in hand our.
Nanso Dawid kae se, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ nea Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkominya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfo so nkonim.
24 And who? will he listen to you to the matter this for like [the] share of - the [one who] went down in the battle and like [the] share of the [one who] remained with the baggage alike they will share.
Mugye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi betie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ ɔsa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akode so nyinaa.”
25 And it was from the day that and on-wards and he made it into a statute and into a judgment for Israel until the day this.
Efi saa bere no, Dawid yɛɛ eyi mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔda so di so saa ara de besi nnɛ.
26 And he came David to Ziklag and he sent some of the booty to [the] elders of Judah to friend his saying here! [is] for you a blessing from [the] booty of [the] enemies of Yahweh.
Bere a Dawid duu Siklag no, ɔsoma ma wɔde asade no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kae se, “Mo akyɛde a yɛfa fi Awurade atamfo nsam ni.”
27 For [those] who [were] in Beth-el and for [those] who [were] in Ramoth Negev and for [those] who [were] in Jattir.
Wɔde akyɛde no kɔmaa wɔn a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafo fam ne Yatir;
