1 Chronicles 18
1 Now after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns 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 David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
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 to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by 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 took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot -[horses], but reserved of 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 slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Bere a Aramfo fi Damasko bae sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkum wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien.
6 Then David put [garrisons] in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved 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 on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
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 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host 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 to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou; ) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold, and silver, and brass.
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 king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children 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 the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David 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 executed judgment and justice among all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder;
Na Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the 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 the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so. Dawid mmabarima somee sɛ ɔhene aboafo mpanyimfo.
