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 kɔduruu Siklag. Na Amalekfoɔ abɛto ahyɛ Negeb so ahye 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.
Wɔkyekyeree mmaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmɔfra ne mpanin. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, na mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔeɛ.
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,
Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no hunuu sɛdeɛ Siklag asɛeɛ ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafoɔ no,
4 Dauid and the puple that was with hym reisiden her voices, and weiliden, til teeris failiden in hem.
wɔtwaa agyaadwoɔ ara kɔsii sɛ afei na wɔntumi ntwa agyaadwoɔ 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 kɔeɛ 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 yeraa no yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wɔbɛsi no aboɔ, ɛsiane, wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa a wɔakyekye wɔn no enti. Nanso, Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn 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 ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar, sɛ, “Fa asɔfotadeɛ no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de baeɛ.
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 sɛ, “Menti ɛdɔm no anaa? Mɛto wɔn anaa?” Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Aane, ti wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afiri 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 ɛkwan so. Ankyɛre biara na wɔduruu 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 ahanu deɛ, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yie enti, wɔantumi antwa asuo no. Ɛno enti, Dawid de akodɔm ahanan 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;
Dawid akodɔm no bi hunuu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wiram hɔ na wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no burodo sɛ ɔnni ne nsuo 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.
Wɔsane maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba abɔnta, ɛfiri sɛ, na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛre na ɔnyaa 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 sɛ, “Hwan onipa ne wo, na wofiri he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaa me hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, 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.
Yɛkɔtuaa Keretifoɔ wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyee Siklag nkyɛreeɛ.”
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 sɛ, “Enti, wobɛdi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberanteɛ no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensane mfa me mma me wura deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, mɛdi 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 Amalekfoɔ no atenaeɛ. Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duruu hɔ no, na Amalekfoɔ no ahwete wɔ ɛserɛ no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛ resa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔanya asadeɛ bebree afiri Filistifoɔ 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, kunkumm wɔn wɔ akofena ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kɔsii adekyeeɛ no anwummerɛ. Amalekfoɔ no mu biara antumi annwane, agye mmarima ahanan a wɔtenatenaa nyoma so dwaneeɛ no.
18 Forsothe Dauid delyuerede alle thingis whiche the men of Amalech token, and he delyuerede hise twei wyues;
Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfoɔ no faeɛ, sane 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 ketewa anaa kɛseɛ, ɔbabarima anaa ɔbabaa anaa biribiara a wɔfom faeɛ no, Dawid de ne nyinaa sane baeɛ.
20 and he took alle flockis and grete beestis, and droof bifor his face. And thei seiden, This is the prey of Dauid.
Nʼakodɔm no kaa nnwan ne anantwie no so, de wɔn baeɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom nyinaa wɔ Dawid sɛ nʼadwuma pa so akatua.”
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 wɔduruu Besor asuwa no so na wɔhunuu mmarima ahanu a ɔbrɛ dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyeaa wɔn anigyeɛ 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 asɛmpɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ enti, wɔrennya asadeɛ no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmfiri 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 kaa sɛ, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ deɛ Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkomenya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfoɔ 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.
Mogye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi bɛtie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ sa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akodeɛ 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.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Dawid yɛɛ yei mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔgu so di so saa ara de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
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;
Ɛberɛ a Dawid duruu Siklag no, ɔsoma maa wɔde asadeɛ no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kaa sɛ, “Mo akyɛdeɛ a yɛfa firi Awurade atamfoɔ nsam nie.”
27 to hem that weren in Bethel, and that weren in Ramoth, at the south,
Wɔde akyɛdeɛ no kɔmaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam, 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,
Aroer, Sifmot, Estemoa,
29 and that weren in the citees of Jeramel, and that weren in the citees of Ceny,
Rakal ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Yerahmeelfoɔ nkuro mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Kenifoɔ kuro mu,
30 and that weren in Arama, and that weren in Lautuasam, and that weren in Athec,
ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Horma, Bor-Asan, Atak,
31 and that weren in Ebron, and to othere men, that weren in these places, in whiche Dauid dwellide and hise men.
Hebron ne mmeaemmeae a Dawid ne ne mmarima kyinkyinii hɔ nyinaa.
