< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafoɔ.

2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

Mmerɛ tenten bi a atwam, mpo ɛberɛ a Saulo di yɛn so ɔhene no, na wone obi a nokorɛm na wodi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Wobɛyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifoɔ.’”

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. They anointed David king over Israel, according to the LORD’s word by Samuel.

Enti, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofoɔ no yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Hebron. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛdeɛ Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.

4 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

Na Dawid ne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem anaa Yebus, sɛdeɛ na wɔfrɛ hɔ kane no, ɛfiri sɛ, Yebusifoɔ na wɔkɔtenaa asase no so kane kyekyereeɛ.

5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.

Nnipa a wɔfiri Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Worentumi mma ha da biara da.” Nanso, Dawid faa aban a na ɛwɔ Sion a wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kuro no.

6 David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

Dawid ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm no sɛ, “Mo mu biara a ɔbɛdi anim na yɛakɔto ahyɛ Yebusifoɔ no so no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakodɔm so sahene.” Na Dawid nuabaa Seruia babarima Yoab dii ntohyɛsoɔ no anim, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Dawid akodɔm so sahene.

7 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.

Dawid tenaa aban no mu, na ɛno enti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid kuro no.

8 He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

Dawid kyekyeree kuro no, trɛɛ mu firi Milo de twaa ho hyiaeɛ, ɛberɛ a na Yoab nso rekyekyere Yerusalem nkaeɛ no.

9 David grew greater and greater, for the LORD of Armies was with him.

Na Dawid tumi yɛɛ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Asafo Awurade ka ne ho.

10 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the LORD’s word concerning Israel.

Yeinom ne Dawid nnɔmmarima ntuanofoɔ. Wɔne Israel nyinaa boom, sii gyinaeɛ sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn so ɔhene sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ bɔ afa Israel ho no.

11 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

Dawid nnɔmmarima no ho nsɛm nie: Deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no ne Yasobeam, a ɔyɛ Hakmonini a na ɔda Baasa no ano sɛ ɔsahene—Baasa no yɛ nnɔmmarima akatakyie a na wɔwɔ Dawid asraafoɔ mu. Ɛberɛ bi, ɔde ne pea kunkumm atamfoɔ ahasa wɔ akodie baako mu.

12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

Deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu wɔ Baasa no mu no yɛ Dodo babarima Eleasa a ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni.

13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

Ɛberɛ a Dawid sɔre tiaa Filistifoɔ wɔ Pas-Damim no, na ɔka ne ho. Ɔko no sii wɔ baabi a na ɛyɛ atokofuo nko, na Israel asraafoɔ no dwaneeɛ.

14 They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

Nanso, Eleasa ne Dawid gyinaa wɔn nan so wɔ afuo no mfimfini, bɔɔ Filistifoɔ guiɛ. Na Awurade maa wɔdii nkonim de gyee wɔn.

15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

Ɛda bi a Dawid wɔ ɔbotan bi a ɛbɛn Adulam ɔbodan ho no, na Filistifoɔ asraadɔm akyere sraban wɔ Refaim bɔnhwa mu. Baasa no a na wɔka Aduasa no a wɔagye edin wɔ Dawid akodɔm mu no siane kɔhyiaa no wɔ hɔ.

16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.

Saa ɛberɛ no, na Dawid te abanbɔeɛ mu hɔ a na Filistifoɔ akodɔm kuo bi akɔtena Betlehem.

17 David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

Dawid firi akɔnnɔ mu kaeɛ sɛ, “Ao me kɔn dɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ abura a ɛwɔ Betlehem no bi; deɛ ɛbɛn ɛpono ano no bi.”

18 The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

Enti, Baasa no bɔ wuraa Filistifoɔ no mu, kɔsaa abura no mu nsuo no bi de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso, Dawid annom. Mmom, ɔhwie guu Awurade anim

19 and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

teaam sɛ, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom saa nsuo yi. Ɛsom bo te sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ afɔdeɛ kɔsa brɛɛ me no mogya.” Enti, Dawid annom. Yei yɛ Baasa no mmaninsɛm no bi nhwɛsoɔ.

20 Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name amongst the three.

Yoab nuabarima Abisai na na ɔtua Aduasa no ano. Ɔno na ɔde ne pea kunkumm atamfoɔ no mu ahasa. Saa mmaninsɛm yi enti na ɔgyee edin te sɛ Baasa no.

21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.

Abisai na na ne din ahyeta yie wɔ Aduasa no mu sɛ wɔn sahene, nanso na ɔnka Baasa no ho.

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia a ɔfiri Kabseel no nso wɔ hɔ. Na ɔno nso di mmaninsɛm. Ɔyɛɛ bebree a emu baako ne sɛ ɔkunkumm Moab akofoɔ akɛseɛ baanu bi. Ɛberɛ foforɔ bi nso, ɔtaa gyata maa aboa no kɔtɔɔ amena mu. Na sukyerɛmma ama fam ayɛ toro, nanso, ɔkyeree gyata no kumm no.

23 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

Ɛda bi a na ɔkura aporibaa nko ara no, ɔkumm Misraimni ɔkofoɔ bi a na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Na ne pea no mu pipiripie te sɛ ntomanwomfoɔ nsadua. Benaia hwam pea no firii Misraimni no nsam, de kumm no.

24 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name amongst the three mighty men.

Yeinom ne mmaninsɛm a ɛmaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia gyee edin te sɛ Baasa no.

25 Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.

Wɔhyɛɛ no animuonyam sene nkaeɛ a wɔka Aduasa no ho no, nanso na ɔmfra Baasa no mu. Na Dawid yɛɛ no ne ho awɛmfoɔ no so sahene.

26 The mighty men of the armies also include Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
