1 Samuel 30
1 And whanne Dauid and hise men hadden come `in to Sichelech in the thridde dai, men of Amalech hadden maad asauyt on the south part in Sichelech; and thei smytiden Sichelech, and brenten it bi fier.
Nnansa so, Dawid ne ne mmarima koduu Siklag. Na Amalekfo abɛtow ahyɛ Negeb so ahyew Siklag pasaa,
2 And thei ledden the wymmen prisoneris fro thennus, fro the leeste `til to the grete; and thei hadden not slayn ony, but thei ledden with hem, and yeden in her weie.
akyekyeree mmea ne mmofra ne mpanyin a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔe.
3 Therfor whanne Dauid and hise men hadde come to the citee, and hadden founde it brent bi fier, and that her wyues, and her sones, and douytris weren led prisoneris,
Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no huu sɛnea Siklag asɛe ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafo no,
4 Dauid and the puple that was with hym reisiden her voices, and weiliden, til teeris failiden in hem.
wotwaa agyaadwo ara kosii sɛ afei na wontumi ntwa agyaadwo no bio.
5 Forsothe also twei wyues of Dauid weren led prisoneris, Achynoem of Jezrael, and Abigail, the wijf of Nabal of Carmele.
Dawid yerenom baanu a wɔne Yesreelni Ahinoam ne Karmelni Abigail a na ɔyɛ Nabal yere no ka wɔn a wɔsoaa wɔn kɔe no ho.
6 And Dauid was ful sori; forsothe al the puple wold stone hym, for the soule of ech man was bittir on her sones and douytris. Forsothe Dauid was coumfortid in his Lord God.
Dawid ho yeraw no yiye, efisɛ na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wobesiw no abo, esiane wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea a wɔakyekyere wɔn no nti. Nanso Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn mu.
7 And he seide to Abiathar, preest, the sone of Achymelech, Bringe thou ephoth to me. And Abiathar brouyte ephoth to Dauid; and Dauid councelide the Lord,
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Abiatar se, “Fa asɔfotade no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de bae.
8 and seide, Schal Y pursue, ether nay, `these theues? and schal Y take hem? And the Lord seide to hym, Pursue thou; for with out doute thou schalt take hem, and thou schalt take awey the prey.
Na Dawid bisaa Awurade se, “Mintiw dɔm no ana? Mɛto wɔn ana?” Awurade buaa no se, “Yiw, tiw wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afi mo nkyɛn no, mo nsa bɛka ne nyinaa.”
9 Therfor Dauid yede, he and sixe hundrid men that weren with hym, and thei camen `til to the stronde of Besor; and sotheli the wery men abididen.
Enti Dawid ne ne mmarima ahansia no sii kwan so. Ankyɛ biara na woduu Besor asuwa no so.
10 Forsothe Dauid pursuede, he and foure hundrid men; for twei hundrid abididen, that weren weeri, and myyten not passe the stronde of Besor.
Nanso mmarima no mu ahannu de, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yiye nti wɔantumi antwa asu no. Ɛno nti, Dawid de asraafo ahannan a wɔaka no toaa so.
11 And thei founden a man of Egipte in the feeld, and thei brouyten hym to Dauid; and thei yauen `breed to hym, that he schulde ete, and `schulde drynke watir;
Asraafo no bi huu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wuram hɔ ma wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no brodo sɛ onni ne nsu sɛ ɔnnom.
12 but also thei yauen to hym a gobet of a bundel of drye figis, and twei byndyngis of dried grapis. And whanne he hadde ete tho, his spirit turnede ayen, and he was coumfortid; for he hadde not ete breed, nether hadde drunk watir in thre daies and thre nyytis.
Wɔsan maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba ɔbɔnta, efisɛ na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa; awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛ na onyaa ahoɔden.
13 Therfor Dauid seide to hym, Whos man art thou, ethir fro whennus and whidur goist thou? And he seide, Y am a child of Egipt, the seruaunt of a man of Amalech; forsothe my lord forsook me, for Y bigan to be sijk the thridde dai ago.
Dawid bisaa no se, “Hena nipa ne wo, na wufi he?” Obuae se, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaw me hɔ, efisɛ na meyare.
14 Sotheli we braken out to the south coost of Cerethi, and ayens Juda, and to the south of Caleb, and we brenten Sichelech bi fier.
Yɛkɔtoaa Keretifo wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyew Siklag.”
15 And Dauid seide to hym, Maist thou lede me to this cumpeny? Which seide, Swere thou to me bi God, that thou schalt not sle me, and schalt not bitake me in to the hondis of my lord; and Y schal lede thee to this cumpeny. And Dauid swoor to hym.
Dawid bisaa no se, “Enti wubedi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberante no buae se, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensan mfa me mma me wura de a, ɛno de, medi wʼanim de wo akɔ.”
16 And whanne the child hadde ledde hym, lo! thei saten at the mete, on the face of al the erthe, etynge and drynkynge, and as halewynge a feeste, for al the prey and spuylis whiche thei hadden take of the lond of Filisteis, and of the lond of Juda.
Na Misraimni no dii wɔn anim kɔɔ Amalekfo no atenae. Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duu hɔ no, na Amalekfo no ahwete wɔ sare no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛw resaw, efisɛ na wɔanya asade bebree afi Filistifo nkyɛn ne Yuda asase so.
17 And Dauid smoot hem fro euentid `til to euentid of the tothir dai, and not ony of hem escapide, no but foure hundrid yonge men, that stieden on camels, and fledden.
Dawid ne ne mmarima to hyɛɛ wɔn so, kunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kosii adekyee no anwummere. Amalekfo no mu biara antumi anguan, gye mmarima ahannan a wɔtenatenaa yoma so guanee no.
18 Forsothe Dauid delyuerede alle thingis whiche the men of Amalech token, and he delyuerede hise twei wyues;
Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfo no fae, san gyee ne yerenom baanu no.
19 nether ony of hem failide fro litil `til to greet, as wel of sones as of douytris, and of spuylis; and what euer thingis thei hadden rauyschid, Dauid ledde ayen alle thingis;
Biribiara anyera; sɛ ɛyɛ akumaa anaa ɔpanyin, abarimaa anaa abeawa anaa biribiara a wɔfae sɛ asade no, Dawid de ne nyinaa san bae.
20 and he took alle flockis and grete beestis, and droof bifor his face. And thei seiden, This is the prey of Dauid.
Nʼakofo no kaa nguan ne anantwi no de wɔn bae. Na wɔkae se, “Eyinom nyinaa yɛ Dawid asade.”
21 Forsothe Dauid cam to twei hundrid men, that weren weeri, and abididen, and myyten not sue Dauid; and he hadde comaundid hem to sitte in the stronde of Besor; whiche yeden out ayens Dauid, and the puple that was with hym. Forsothe Dauid neiyede to the puple, and grette it pesibli.
Na woduu Besor asuwa no so no, wohuu mmarima ahannu a ɔbrɛ dodow nti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyiaa wɔn anigye so.
22 And o man, the werste and vniust of the men that weren with Dauid, answeride, and seide, For thei camen not with vs, we schulen not yyue to hem ony thing of the prey, which we rauyschiden, but his wijf and children `suffice to ech man; and whanne thei han take hem, go thei awei.
Nanso Dawid mmarima no mu asɛmpɛfo bi kae se, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ nti, wɔrennya asade no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, womfi yɛn ani so nkɔ.”
23 Forsothe Dauid seide, My britheren, ye schulen not do so of these thingis, whiche the Lord yaf to vs, and kepte vs, and yaf the theues, that braken out ayens vs, in to oure hondis;
Nanso Dawid kae se, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ nea Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkominya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfo so nkonim.
24 nether ony man schal here vs on this word. For euene part schal be of him that goith doun to batel, and of hym that dwellith at the fardelis; and in lijk maner thei schulen departe.
Mugye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi betie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ ɔsa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akode so nyinaa.”
25 And this was maad a constitucioun and doom fro that dai and afterward, and as a lawe in Israel til in to this dai.
Efi saa bere no, Dawid yɛɛ eyi mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔda so di so saa ara de besi nnɛ.
26 Therfor Dauid cam in to Sichelech, and sente yiftis of the prey to the eldere men of Juda, hise neiyboris, and seide, Take ye blessyng of the prey of enemyes of the Lord;
Bere a Dawid duu Siklag no, ɔsoma ma wɔde asade no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kae se, “Mo akyɛde a yɛfa fi Awurade atamfo nsam ni.”
27 to hem that weren in Bethel, and that weren in Ramoth, at the south,
Wɔde akyɛde no kɔmaa wɔn a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafo fam ne Yatir;
28 and that weren in Jether, and that weren in Aroer, and that weren in Sephamoth, and that weren in Escama, and that weren in Rethala,

31 and that weren in Ebron, and to othere men, that weren in these places, in whiche Dauid dwellide and hise men.
