2 Samuel 8
1 After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
Akyire yi, Dawid dii Filistifoɔ no so, brɛɛ wɔn ase. Ɔko gyee Gat a ɛyɛ wɔn kuropɔn kɛseɛ no.
2 Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
Dawid sane dii Moabfoɔ so. Ɔmaa nnipa no dedaa fam, na ɔde ahoma susuu wɔn. Ɔsusu ahoma no mmienu a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnkum saa nnipa no. Ɛnna ɔsusu ahoma no baako a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnnyaa saa nkurɔfoɔ no. Enti, Moabfoɔ a wɔnyaa wɔn ti didii mu no bɛyɛɛ Dawid asomfoɔ a na afe biara wɔyi ɛtoɔ brɛ no.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
Dawid sɛe Rehob babarima Hadadeser a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Soba no akɔdɔm, ɛberɛ a Hadadeser kɔɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔhyɛ ne nnisoɔ mu den.
4 David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
Dawid kyeree ne nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafoɔ mpem nson ne nammɔntwa asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu. Dawid twitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntini, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
Ɛberɛ a Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kumm wɔn mu ɔpeduonu.
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.
Na ɔde akodɔm a wɔyɛ bansifoɔ kɔtenaa Damasko, ma Aramfoɔ bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkurɔfoɔ a na wɔyi toɔ brɛ no. 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 faa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser mpanimfoɔ dea no de ne nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem.
8 From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkuro no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔɔeɛ.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
Ɛberɛ a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser akodɔm no ase pasaa no,
10 Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
ɔsomaa ne babarima Yoram wɔ Dawid nkyɛn, bɛkyiaa no maa no amo. Na Hadadeser ne Toi yɛ atamfoɔ firi teteete a wɔako atia wɔn ho mpɛn bebree. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid nneɛma bebree a ɛyɛ, dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
11 King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
Ɔhene Dawid too akyɛdeɛ no nyinaa din de maa Awurade a, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔnya firii aman bi a ɔdii wɔn so no nyinaa ka ho.
12 from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia, Amalek ne deɛ ɛfiri Sobahene Rehob babarima Hadadeser nkyɛn nso.
13 David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
Yei maa Dawid gyee edin. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔeɛ no, ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa mu.
14 He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
Ɔde akodɔm bansifoɔ siisii Edom nyinaa ano. Na Edomfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Yei yɛ nhwɛsoɔ foforɔ a ɛkyerɛɛ nkonim a Awurade maa Dawid dii no baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no.
15 David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene, na ɔne obiara tenaa yie.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehyeɛ abakɔsɛmtwerɛni.
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
Sadok a na ɔyɛ Ahitub babarima ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ. Na Seraia yɛ asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ.
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the king's hand.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔdi Keretifoɔ ne Peletifoɔ so, ɛnna Dawid mmammarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
