1 Chronicles 18
1 After this, David defeated 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 He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.
Bio, Dawid dii Moab asase no so nkonim, maa Moabfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wotua sonkahiri ma no.
3 David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, toward 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 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one 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 Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
Bere a Aramfo fi Damasko bae sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkum wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought 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 shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
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 struck all the army of Hadadezer 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 greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels 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 also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, 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 struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu.
13 He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. 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 executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Na Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; 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 officials serving the king.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so. Dawid mmabarima somee sɛ ɔhene aboafo mpanyimfo.
