1 Chronicles 18
1 After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.
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 Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.
Bio, Dawid dii Moab asase no so nkonim, maa Moabfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wotua sonkahiri ma no.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.
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 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 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 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
Bere a Aramfo fi Damasko bae sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkum wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien.
6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever 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 David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.
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 When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
Bere a Hamathene Tou tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,
10 and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made 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 King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and 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 Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu.
13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever 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 David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Na Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech 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 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the hand of the king.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so. Dawid mmabarima somee sɛ ɔhene aboafo mpanyimfo.
