1 Chronicles 20
1 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.
Asusow bere, afe mu bere a ahemfo kɔ ɔko no, Yoab dii Israel asraafo anim, kɔtow hyɛɛ Amonfo nkurow ne nkuraa so, dii wɔn so nkonim. Akodi no mu no, wotuaa Raba kuropɔn no, sɛee no. Saa bere no na Dawid te akyi wɔ Yerusalem.
2 And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
Bere a Dawid duu Raba no, otuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛw, na wɔde hyɛɛ Dawid. Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ahenkyɛw no na wɔde aboɔdemmo abobɔ mu. Na emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa anan. Dawid faa asade bebree fii kurow no mu.
3 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
Ɔde Rabafo no yɛɛ nkoa, hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔde ɔwan, famtunnade ne mmonnua yɛɛ adwuma. Saa ara nso na ɔyɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Amon nkuropɔn nyinaa so. Na Dawid ne nʼakofo san kɔɔ Yerusalem.
4 And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
Eyi akyi, ɔko sii wɔne Filistifo ntam wɔ Geser. Ɔko no mu no, Sibekai a ofi Husa kum Sipai a ɔyɛ abran no aseni ma wɔkaa Filistifo no hyɛe.
5 And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
Ɔko foforo bi a wɔne Filistifo koe no mu no, Yair babarima Elhanan kum Gatni Goliat nuabarima Lahmi. Na Lahmi peaw nsa mu pipiripi te sɛ ntamanwemfo abaa.
6 And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.
Ɔko foforo bi nso a wɔne Filistifo koe wɔ Gat no, ɔbran bi a ɔyɛ abran asefo no bi a ɔyɛ nsansia yɛ nansia wɔ ne nsa ne ne nan biara so no
7 And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
buu Israel animtiaa, twitwaa mpoa. Na Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima Yonatan kum no.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Na saa Filistifo yi yɛ Gat abran no asefo nanso Dawid ne nʼakofo kunkum wɔn.
