2 Samuel 21
1 And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, 'For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death the Gibeonites.'
Dɔ to ƒe etɔ̃ sɔŋ le David ƒe fiaɖuɣi. David do gbe ɖa na Yehowa ɖe eta eye Yehowa gblɔ na David be, “Dɔ sia to le Saul kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta elabena wowu Gibeontɔwo.”
2 And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah —
Ale Fia David yɔ Gibeontɔwo ƒo ƒu. Womenye Israelviwo o, ke boŋ wonye Amoritɔ siwo susɔ. Israel ka atam be yemawu wo o, ke Saul di be yeatsrɔ̃ wo le ŋuʋaʋã ɖe Israel kple Yuda nu ta.
3 yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, 'What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.'
David bia wo be, “Nu ka mate ŋu awɔ na mi be nu vɔ̃ sia naɖe ɖa le mia dzi eye wòana miabia Mawu be wòayra mi?”
4 And the Gibeonites say to him, 'We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;' and he saith, 'What ye are saying I do to you.'
Gibeontɔwo ɖo eŋu be, “Ga mawɔ naneke tso nya sia ŋu o eye míedi be woatsɔ hlɔ̃biabia awu Israelviwo hã o.” David bia be, “Ekema nu ka mawɔ? Migblɔe nam ko eye mawɔe na mi.”
5 And they say unto the king, 'The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel —
Woɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Le ame si tsrɔ̃ mí eye wòɖo nugbe ɖe mía ŋu, na wowu mía dometɔ aɖewo eye teƒe aɖeke mele mía si le Israel ƒe akpa aɖeke o ta la,
6 let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.' And the king saith, 'I do give;'
na woatsɔ via ŋutsu adre na mí eye míawu wo le Yehowa ŋkume le Gibea si nye Saul, Yehowa ƒe ame tiatia la ƒe du la me.” Fia la gblɔ be, “Matsɔ wo na mi.”
7 and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
Ena Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu Mefiboset, ame si nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi la tsi agbe le atam si eya kple Yonatan ka na wo nɔewo la ta.
8 and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
Ke etsɔ Rizpa ƒe viŋutsu eveawo, Armoni kple Mefiboset ame siwo nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔviwo to srɔ̃a Aya dzi la na wo. Eɖe asi le Saul ƒe vinyɔnu Merab ƒe viŋutsu atɔ̃ siwo wòdzi na Adriel si nye Barzilai, Meholatitɔ la hã ŋu na wo.
9 and giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
Gibeontɔwo he wo ɖe ati ŋu le toa dzi le Yehowa ŋkume. Ale wo ame adreawo katã ku zi ɖeka le luxaɣi la ƒe gɔmedzedze.
10 And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye ŋutsu eveawo dada la keke akpanya ɖe agakpe aɖe dzi eye wònɔ afi ma le viawo ƒe kukuawo gbɔ tso nuxaɣi va se ɖe tsidzaŋɔli la, ale be akagawo mavuvu wo le ŋkeke me o eye lã wɔadãwo hã maɖu wo le zã me o.
11 And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done,
Esi David se nu si Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, Saul ƒe ahiãvi wɔ la,
12 and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;
eyi ɖaxa Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo le Yabes Gileadtɔwo gbɔ. Yabes Gileadtɔwo fi wo le ablɔ me le Bet Sean, afi si Filistitɔwo tsi woƒe kukuawo ɖo le gbe si gbe wowu Saul le Gilboa to la dzi.
13 and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
David lɔ Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo eye wòƒo ƒu Saul ƒe vi adreawo hã ƒe ƒuwo.
14 and bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.
Woɖi Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo ɖe Saul fofo, Kis ƒe yɔdo la me le Zela, le Benyaminyigba dzi eye wowɔ nu siwo katã fia la ɖo da ɖi. Le esia megbe la, Mawu se woƒe gbedodoɖa eye wòtsi dɔwuame la nu.
15 And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
Filistitɔwo gaho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu gbe ɖeka. David kple eƒe amewo wɔ aʋa la ale gbegbe be ɖeɖi te David ŋu eye wògbɔdzɔ.
16 and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting David,
Filistitɔwo ƒe ame dzɔatsu aɖe si nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimevi, Isbi Benob, ame si ƒe akplɔ ƒe akɔbliteƒe kpe wu kilogram wuieve la, do gawu yeye aɖe hã. Egblɔ be yele David wu ge.
17 and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, 'Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench the lamp of Israel.'
Ke Abisai, Zeruya ƒe vi xɔ nɛ eye wòwu Isbibenɔb, Filistitɔ la. Le esia megbe la, David ƒe amewo gblɔ nɛ be, “Màgayi aʋa kpli mí azɔ o! Nu ka ta míaɖe mɔ Israel ƒe kekeli natsi?”
18 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
Emegbe, le aʋa aɖe me kple Filistitɔwo le Gob la, Sibekai, Husatitɔ la wu Saf si tso Rafa ƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.
19 And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
Le aʋa bubu si wogawɔ kple Filistitɔwo le Gob la, Elhanan, Yair Betlehemtɔ ƒe vi wu Goliat si nye Gititɔ, ame si ƒe akplɔti lolo abe ati si le avɔlɔ̃lawo ƒe agbati me ene.
20 And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,
Le aʋa bubu aɖe si wowɔ le Gat me la, ame dzɔatsu aɖe si to asibidɛ ade ɖe asi ɖeka kple afɔbidɛ ade ɖe afɔ ɖeka, wo katã le blaeve-vɔ-ene eye eya hã tso Rafa ƒe dzidzime la
21 and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;
ɖu fewu le Israel ŋu ale Yonatan, ame si nye, David nɔviŋutsu Simea ƒe vi la wui.
22 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ame ene siawo nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimeviwo tso Gat eye wotsi David kple eƒe amewo ƒe asi me.
