< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 And it bifelde in a day, that Jonathas, the sone of Saul, seide to his squyer, a yong man, Come thou, and passe we to the staciouns of the Filisteis, which is biyende that place; `sotheli he schewide not this same thing to his fadir.
Da bi, Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ aberante a ɔsoa nʼakode se, “Bra na yɛnkɔ baabi a Filistifo no apee so wɔ hɔ no.” Yonatan anka nʼadwene ankyerɛ nʼagya.
2 Sotheli Saul dwellide in the laste part of Gabaa, vndur a pumgarnarde tre, that was in the feeld of Gabaa; and the puple as of sixe hundrid men was with hym.
Saa bere no na Saulo ne ne mmarima ahansia no akyere nsraban wɔ Gibea nkwantia wɔ atoaa dua a ɛwɔ Migron no ase.
3 And Achias, sone of Achitob, brother of Icaboth, sone of Fynees, that was gendrid of Ely, preest of the Lord in Silo, bar ephod, `that is, the preestis cloth; but also the puple wiste not whidur Jonathas hadde go.
(Onipa a na ɔka Saulo mmarima no ho no ne Ahiya a ɔyɛ Awurade sɔfo a na ɔhyɛ sirikyi asɔfotade no. Na Ahiya yɛ Ahitub babarima a ɔyɛ Ikabod nua. Na saa Ahitub no nso yɛ Pinehas babarima a na ɔyɛ Eli nena nso. Na Eli yɛ Awurade sɔfo a na ɔsom wɔ Silo.) Na obiara nnim sɛ Yonatan afi Israel nsraban mu hɔ.
4 Sotheli bitwixe the stiyngis, bi whiche Jonathas enforside to passe to the stacioun of Filisteis, weren stonys stondynge forth on euer either side, and scarris brokun bifore bi the maner of teeth on ech syde; name to oon was Boses, and name to `the tother was Sene;
Ansa na Yonatan beduu Filistifo nsraban mu no, na ɛsɛ sɛ osian fa abotan mmepɔw abien bi a wɔfrɛ no Boses ne Sene no ntam.
5 o scarre was stondynge forth to the north ayens Machynas, and the tother scarre to the south ayens Gabaa.
Ɔbotan a etweri hɔ a na ɛwɔ atifi fam no, na ɛkyerɛ Mikmas anim, na nea ɛwɔ anafo fam no nso ɛkyerɛ Geba anim.
6 Forsothe Jonathas seide to his yong squyer, Come thou, passe we to the stacioun of these vncircumcisid men, if in hap the Lord do for vs; for it is not hard to the Lord to saue, ethir in manye ethir in fewe.
Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ aberante a ɔyɛ nʼakodekurafo no se, “Ma yentwa mu nkɔ abosonsomfo no nkyɛn. Ebia, Awurade bɛboa yɛn, efisɛ biribiara ntumi nsiw Awurade kwan. Obetumi adi ɔko mu nkonim a ɛmfa ho sɛ nʼakofo dɔɔso anaa wosua.”
7 And his squyer seide to hym, Do thou alle thingis that plesen thi soule; go whidur thou coueitist, Y schal be with thee, where euer thou wolt.
Aberante no kae se, “Yɛ nea wugye di sɛ eye biara. Gyinae biara a wubesi no, metaa wʼakyi pintinn.”
8 And Jonathas seide, Lo! we passen to these men; and whanne we apperen to hem,
Yonatan kae se, “Eye, yebetwa mu akɔ hɔ, na yɛama wɔahu yɛn.
9 if thei speken thus to vs, Dwelle ye, til we comen to you; stonde we in oure place, and stie we not to hem.
Na sɛ wɔka se, ‘Munnyina faako a moadu hɔ ara na anyɛ saa a, yebekum mo’ a, ɛno de, yebegyina a yɛrenkɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
10 Sotheli if thei seien, Stye ye to vs; stie we, for the Lord hath bitake hem in oure hondis; this schal be a signe to vs.
Na sɛ wɔka se, ‘Momforo mmra mmɛko’ a, ɛno de, yɛbɛforo akɔ soro. Ɛbɛyɛ Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnne sɛ ɔbɛboa yɛn, ama yɛadi wɔn so nkonim.”
11 `Therfor euer either apperide to the stacioun of Filisteis; and Filisteis seiden, Lo! Ebreis goen out of caues, in whiche thei weren hid.
Bere a Filistifo no huu sɛ wɔreba no, wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Monhwɛ o! Hebrifo no na wɔreweawea afi wɔn abon mu no!”
12 And men of the stacioun spaken to Jonathas and to his squyer, and seiden, Stie ye to vs, and we schulen schewe to you a thing. And Jonathas seide to his squyer, `Stie we, sue thou me; for the Lord hath bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel.
Na wɔteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Yonatan se, “Foro bra ha na yɛnkyerɛ wo nyansa!” Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodekurafo no se, “Bra; foro di mʼakyi na Awurade bɛboa yɛn, ama yɛadi wɔn so nkonim.”
13 Forsothe Jonathas stiede crepynge on hondis and feet, and his squyer after hym; and whanne thei hadden seyn the face of Jonathas, summe felden doun bifor Jonathas, his squier killed othere, and suede hym.
Enti wɔde wɔn nsa abien ne wɔn anan foroe, na Yonatan ne nʼakodekurafo no kunkum Filistifo no benkum ne nifa.
14 And the firste wounde was maad, which Jonathas and his squyer smoot, as of twenti men, in `the myddil part of lond which a peire of oxun was wont to ere in the dai.
Wokunkum mmarima bɛyɛ aduonu maa wɔn amu no dedaa asase a ne trɛw bɛyɛ sɛ eka fa so.
15 And a myracle was don in the castels, and bi the feeldis, but also al the puple of the `stacioun of hem that yeden out to take prey, dredde, and `the castels weren disturblid; and it bifelde as a myracle of God.
Ɛhɔ ara, ehu bɔɔ Filistifo asraafo no wɔ nsraban no mu ne akono hɔ nyinaa, na ɛkaa afowfo no mpo. Ɛhɔ ara asase wosow maa obiara koma tui.
16 And aspyeris of Saul bihelden, that weren in Gabaa of Beniamyn, and lo! a multitude cast doun, and fleynge awei hidur and thidur.
Saulo awɛmfo a wɔwɔ Gibea no huu biribi a ɛyɛ wɔn nwonwa. Ɛno ara ne sɛ, Filistifo asraafo no abɔ ahwete mmaa nyinaa.
17 And Saul seide to the puple that weren with hym, Seke ye, and se ye, who yede awei fro vs. And whanne thei hadden souyt, it was foundun, that Jonathas and his squyer weren not present.
Afei, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔka ne ho no se, “Monhwɛ asraafo no mu nhwɛ sɛ obi nni hɔ ana.” Wɔhwehwɛ huu sɛ Yonatan ne nʼakodekurafo no na na wonni hɔ.
18 And Saul seide to Achias, Brynge the arke of the Lord; for the arke of God was there in that dai with the sones of Israel.
Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Ahiya se, “Kɔfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no bra.” (Saa bere no na ɛwɔ Israelfo nkyɛn.)
19 And whanne Saul spak to the preest, a grete noise roos in the castelis of Filisteis; and it encresside litil and litil, and sownede cleerliere. And Saul seide to the preest, Withdraw thin hond.
Bere a Saulo rekasa akyerɛ ɔsɔfo no, na basabasa a asi Filistifo nsraban no mu no ano den ara na ɛreyɛ. Enti Saulo ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo no se, “Gyae! Ma yɛnkɔ.”
20 Therfor Saul criede, and al the puple that was with hym; and thei camen `til to the place of batel, and, lo! the swerd of ech man was turned to his neiybore, and a ful grete sleynge was.
Afei, Saulo ne ne mmarima ahansia no kaa wɔn ho ntɛm so fii akono hɔ kohuu sɛ, Filistifo no atwa wɔn ho rekunkum wɔn ho wɔn ho. Na ɛhɔ nyinaa ayɛ kitikiti ne basabasa nko ara.
21 But also Ebreis that weren with Filisteis yistirday and the thridde dai ago, and hadde stied with hem in castels, turneden ayen to be with Israel, that weren with Saul and Jonathas.
Mpo, Hebrifo a na wɔdɔm Filistifo asraafo no kɔdɔm Saulo, Yonatan ne Israelfo nkae no.
22 Also alle men of Israel, that hadden hid hem silf in the hil of Effraym, herden that Filisteis hadden fled; and thei felouschipiden hem silf with her men in batel, and as ten thousynde of men weren with Saul.
Saa ara na mmarima a na wɔakɔtetɛw wɔ mmepɔw mu no huu sɛ Filistifo no reguan no, bɛkaa ho taa wɔn bi.
23 And the Lord sauyde Israel in that day. Sotheli the batel cam til to Bethauen.
Enti Awurade gyee Israel da no. Na ɔko no kɔɔ so ara traa Bet-Awen.
24 And men of Israel weren felouschipid to hem silf in that dai; forsothe Saul swoor to the puple, and seide, Cursid be the man, that etith breed `til to euentid, til `Y venge me of myn enemyes.
Afei, saa da no na Israelfo no abrɛbrɛ, efisɛ na Saulo ama wɔaka ntam se, “Nnome mmra obiara a obedidi ansa na onwini atɔ, anaasɛ ansa matɔ mʼatamfo no so were.” Enti obiara amfa hwee anka nʼano da mu no nyinaa,
25 And al the puple ete not breed. And al the comyn puple of the lond cam in to a forest, in which was hony on the `face of erthe.
ɛwɔ mu, wohuu sɛ ɛwo kyɛm da fam wɔ kwae no ase.
26 And so the puple entride in to the forest, and flowynge hony apperide; and no man puttide hond to his mouth, for the puple dredde the ooth.
Wɔamfa wɔn nsa anso ɛwo no mu mpo, efisɛ na wɔn nyinaa suro ntam a wɔaka no.
27 Forsothe Jonathas herde not, whanne his fadir swoor to the puple; and he helde forth the ende of a litil yerde, whiche he hadde in the hond, and dippide in to `a coomb of hony; and he turnede his hond to his mouth, and hise iyen weren liytned.
Nanso na Yonatan de, ɔntee nʼagya ntam no ho hwee. Ɔde abaa bi nuu ɛwo kyɛm no mu, dii ɛwo no bi. Odi wiee no, ne ho bae no.
28 And oon of the puple answeride, and seide, Thi fader boond the puple with an ooth, and seide, Cursid be the man that etith breed to dai. Forsothe the puple was feynt.
Nanso mmarima no mu baako huu no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wʼagya maa asraafo no kaa ntam a emu yɛ den sɛ, obiara a obedidi nnɛ no, nnome bɛba ne so. Ɛno nti, na obiara ahodwow no.”
29 And Jonathas seide, My fadir hath disturblid the lond; ye sien, that myn iyen ben liytned, for Y tastide a litil of this hony;
Na Yonatan teɛɛ mu se, “Mʼagya de ɔhaw abɛto yɛn nyinaa so. Mmara a ɛte sɛɛ no pira yɛn. Monhwɛ sɛ ɛwo kakra a midii yi, me ho asisi me ho so.
30 hou myche more if the puple hadde ete the prey of hise enemyes, which `prey it foond; whether not gretter veniaunce hadde be maad in Filisteis?
Sɛ mmarima no nyaa kwan dii nnuan a wohuu wɔ yɛn atamfo no nkyɛn a, anka mo ara mubehu wɔn dodow a yebekum aka ho.”
31 Therfore thei smytiden Filisteis in that dai fro Machynas `til in to Hailon. Forsothe the puple was maad ful wery;
Nanso ɔkɔm no nyinaa akyi, wɔtaa Filistifo no da mu no nyinaa fi Mikmas, kosii Ayalon. Na afei, wɔbrɛbrɛɛ mmoroso.
32 and the puple turnede to prey, and took scheep and oxun, and calues; and thei killiden in the erthe; and the puple eet with blood.
Anwummere no, wɔtow guu asade no so, faa nguan, anantwi ne anantwi mma. Wokunkum wɔn, wee wɔn nam ne wɔn mogya nyinaa frae.
33 And thei telden to Saul, and seiden, that the puple etynge with blood hadde synned to the Lord. And Saul seide, Ye han trespassid; walewe ye to me `riyt now a greet stoon.
Afei, obi ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Hwɛ! Mmarima no reyɛ bɔne atia Awurade, efisɛ wɔrewe nam a mogya fra mu.” Na Saulo kae se, “Ɛyɛ bɔne pa ara. Mumpirew ɔbo kɛse bi mmɛto ha.
34 And Saul seyde, `Be ye spred abrood in to the comyn puple, and seie ye to hem, that ech man brynge to me his oxe and ram; and sle ye on this stoon, and ete ye, and ye schulen not do synne to the Lord, `and ete with blood. Therfor al the puple brouyte ech man an oxe in his hond `til to nyyt, and thei killiden there.
Na afei monkɔ mmarima no mu nkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momfa anantwi no ne nguan no mmra ha mmekum wɔn na monsɔn wɔn mogya mfi wɔn mu. Monnnwe nam a mogya da so wɔ mu mmfa so nyɛ bɔne ntia Awurade.’” Enti anadwo no, asraafo no de wɔn anantwi bae, bekunkum wɔn wɔ hɔ.
35 Sotheli Saul bildide an auter to the Lord; and thanne firste he bigan to bilde an auter to the Lord.
Na Saulo sii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, de maa Awurade, nea edi kan a osii.
36 And Saul seide, Falle we on the Filisteis in the nyyt, and waste we hem til the morewtid schyne; and leeue we not of hem a man. And the puple seide, Do thou al thing that semeth good to thee in thin iyen. And the preest seide, Neiye we hidur to God.
Na Saulo kae se, “Momma yɛnkɔ Filistifo no so anadwo yi, na yɛnkɔsɛe wɔn ara nkosi ahemadakye a yɛrennyaw wɔn mu baako koraa.” Na wobuae se, “Biribiara a wugye di sɛ eye no, yɛbɛyɛ.” Nanso ɔsɔfo no kae se, “Momma yenni kan mmisa Awurade ansa.”
37 And Saul counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal pursue Filisteis? whether thou schalt bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel? And the Lord answeride not to him in that dai.
Enti Saulo bisaa Awurade se, “Menkɔ so ntaa Filistifo no? Na wobɛboa yɛn ama yɛadi wɔn so ana?” Nanso Awurade amma wɔn mmuae biara saa da no.
38 And Saul seide, Brynge ye hidur alle the corneris of the puple, and wite ye, and se, bi whom this synne bifelde to dai.
Enti Saulo ka kyerɛɛ ntuanofo no se, “Biribi atɔ kyima, enti mehwehwɛ mʼasahene nyinaa. Ɛsɛ sɛ yehu bɔne a yɛayɛ nnɛ.
39 The Lord sauyour of Israel lyueth; for if `it is don bi Jonathas my sone, he schal die with out ayen drawyng. At which ooth no man of al the puple ayenseide hym.
Mede Awurade a oyii Israel din ka ntam sɛ nea wayɛ bɔne no bewu, mpo sɛ ɔyɛ me babarima Yonatan!” Na mmarima no mu baako mpo antumi anka hwee.
40 And he seide to al Israel, Be ye departid in to o part, and Y with my sone Jonathas schal be in the tothir part. And the puple answeride to Saul, Do thou that, that semeth good in thin iyen.
Afei, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa se, “Munnyina nohɔ; me ne me babarima Yonatan nso begyina ha.” Nnipa no penee so.
41 And Saul seide to the Lord God of Israel, Lord God of Israel, yyue thou doom, what is, that thou answerist not to dai to thi seruaunt? If this wickidness is in me, ether in Jonathas my sone, yyue thou schewyng; ether if this wickidnesse is in thi puple, yyue thou hoolynesse. And Jonathas was takun, and Saul; forsothe the puple yede out.
Enti Saulo bɔɔ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, mpae se, “Ao Awurade Israel Nyankopɔn, yɛsrɛ wo kyerɛ yɛn nea odi fɔ ne nea odi bem. Mene Yonatan di fɔ anaasɛ bɔne no wɔ nkurɔfo no mu? Mfomso no bɛtɔɔ Yonatan ne Saulo so, na nnipa no dii bem.”
42 And Saule seide, Sende ye lot bitwixe me and Jonathas my sone. And Jonathas was takun `bi lot.
Na Saulo kae se, “Mommɔ me ne me babarima Yonatan so ntonto.” Na ntonto no bɔɔ Yonatan sɛ odi fɔ.
43 Forsothe Saul seide to Jonathas, Schewe thou to me, what thou didist. And Jonathas schewide to hym, and seide, Y tastynge tastide a litil of hony `in the ende of the yerde, that was in myn hond; and lo!
Saulo bisaa Yonatan se, “Ka nea woayɛ kyerɛ me.” Yonatan gye too mu se, “Mede ɛwo kakra kaa mʼano. Ɛyɛ kakraa bi a na ɛwɔ abaa bi ti so. Na eyi yɛ owu asɛm?”
44 Y die. And Saul seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde `these thingis, for thou, Jonathas, schalt die bi deeth.
Saulo kae se, “Yiw, Yonatan, ɛsɛ sɛ wuwu. Sɛ woanwu wɔ saa asɛm yi ho a, Onyankopɔn nka me na minwu.”
45 And the puple seide to Saul, `Therfor whethir Jonathas schal die, that dide this greet helthe in Israel? this is vnleueful; the Lord lyueth; noon heer of his heed schal falle in to erthe; for he wrouyte with God to dai. Therfor the puple delyuerede Jonathas, that he diede not.
Ɛhɔ ara na nnipa no sɔre teɛɛ mu ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Enti ɛfata sɛ Yonatan a ogyee Israel nnɛ no wu ana? Onyame mpa ngu. Bere dodow no a Awurade te ase yi, ne tinwi baako koraa ho nka, efisɛ Onyankopɔn afa ne so ayɛ anwonwade nnɛ.” Enti nnipa no gyee Yonatan, na wɔankum no.
46 And Saul yede a wey, and pursuede not Filisteis; sotheli Filisteys yeden in to her places.
Na Saulo frɛɛ asraafo no sɛ wɔnntaa Filistifo no bio. Enti Filistifo no san kɔɔ fie.
47 And Saul, whanne the rewme was `confermyd on Israel, fauyt bi cumpas ayens alle hise enemyes, ayens Moab, and the sones of Amon, and Edom, and ayens the kyngis of Soba, and ayens Filisteis; and whidur euer he turnede hym, he ouercam.
Saulo nyaa Israel ahengua no so tenae a ɔhaw biara mma no, ɔko tiaa nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa. Ɔko tiaa Moab, Amon, Edom Soba ne Filistifo ahemfo. Na baabiara a ɔkɔe no, odii nkonim.
48 And whanne the oost was gaderid, he smoot Amalech; and delyuerede Israel fro the hond of hise distrieris.
Ɔkoo mmarima so, dii Amalekfo so, gyee Israelfo fii wɔn afowfo nyinaa nsam.
49 Forsothe the sones of Saul weren Jonathas, and Jesuy, and Melchisua; the names of hise twei douytris, name of the firste gendrid douyter was Merob, and name `of the lesse douyter was Mycol.
Na Saulo mmabarima ne Yonatan, Iswi ne Malki-Sua na ne mmabea baanu nso ne Merab a ɔyɛ panyin ne Mikal nso a ɔyɛ akumaa.
50 And name of `the wijf of Saul was Achynoem, the douytir of Achymaas; and the name of the prince of his chyualrye was Abner, sone of Ner, brother of the fadir of Saul.
Na Saulo yere din de Ahinoam a na ɔyɛ Ahimaas ba. Na ne sahene din de Abner a na ɔyɛ Saulo agya nua Ner babarima.
51 Forsothe Cys was the fadir of Saul; and Ner, the sone of Abiel, was fadir of Abner.
Na Saulo agya Kis ne Abner agya Ner yɛ anuanom a wɔyɛ Abiel mma.
52 Sotheli myyti batel was ayens Filisteis in alle the daies of Saul; for whom euere Saul siy a strong man and schapli to batel, Saul felouschipide to him silf that man.
Bere a Saulo dii ade nyinaa, na Filistifo taa ne Israelfo di ako. Enti bere biara a Saulo behu aberante biara a ne koko yɛ duru na ɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔtwe no de no fra nʼasraafo mu.
