2 Samuel 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, 'Lo, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh;
Afei, Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafoɔ.
2 also heretofore, in Saul's being king over us, thou hast been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah saith to thee, Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art for leader over Israel.'
Mmerɛ bi a atwam no a mpo na Saulo yɛ yɛn ɔhene no, wo ara na wodii Israel anim. Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Wobɛyɛ me manfoɔ Israel so odwanhwɛfoɔ. Wobɛyɛ wɔn kannifoɔ.’”
3 And all the elders of Israel come unto the king, to Hebron, and king David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel.
Enti Hebron hɔ, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofoɔ no yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim. Na wɔsraa no ngo sii no Israelhene.
4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; forty years he hath reigned;
Dawid dii adeɛ no, na wanya mfirinhyia aduasa. Na ɔdii adeɛ mfirinhyia aduanan.
5 in Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.
Ɔtenaa Hebron dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda so mfirinhyia nson ne abosome nsia. Na ɔtenaa Yerusalem no nso, ɔdii Israel ne Yuda nyinaa so ɔhene mfirinhyia aduasa mmiɛnsa.
6 And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, 'Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside the blind and the lame;' saying, 'David doth not come in hither.'
Dawid dii nʼakodɔm anim kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔko tiaa Yebusifoɔ. Yebusifoɔ no dii wɔn ho fɛ sɛ, “Morentumi mma ha. Na mpo, anifirafoɔ ne mmubuafoɔ bɛtu mo afiri ha.” Ɛfiri sɛ, na Yebusifoɔ no dwene sɛ wɔwɔ banbɔ.
7 And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it [is] the city of David.
Nanso, Dawid ko faa Sion aban no a seesei wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kuropɔn no.
8 And David saith on that day, 'Any one smiting the Jebusite, (let him go up by the watercourse), and the lame and the blind — the hated of David's soul,' — because the blind and lame say, 'He doth not come into the house.'
Ɛberɛ a atɛnnidie nkra firi banbɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu duruu Dawid asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne dɔm no sɛ, “Momfa nsudorobɛn no mu nkɔ kuro no mu, na monkɔsɛe Yebusifoɔ mpakye ne anifirafoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ mekyiri wɔn! ‘Anifirafoɔ ne mpakye’ nnkɔ efie no mu” no abɔseɛ nie.
9 And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it — City of David, and David buildeth round about, from Millo and inward,
Enti, Dawid yɛɛ aban no nʼatenaeɛ, na ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid Kuropɔn. Ɔsisii banbɔdan bebree twaa kuro no ho kaa ho. Wɔhyɛɛ dwumadie no ase wɔ Milo de baa mu.
10 and David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with him.
Na Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn ka ne ho.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-trees, and artificers of wood, and artificers of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,
Afei, Tirohene Huram somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn a nnua dwumfoɔ ne aboɔ adansifoɔ ka wɔn ho sɛ wɔnkɔsi ahemfie mma no. Huram de ntweneduro nnua bebree kɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔmpae.
12 and David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, and that He hath lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.
Na Dawid hunuu sɛ, ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ enti, Awurade asi no ɔhene, na wayɛ nʼahemman kɛseɛ.
13 And David taketh again concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and there are born again to David sons and daughters.
Dawid tu firi Hebron baa Yerusalem no, ɔwaree mmaa bebree faa mpenafoɔ nso. Ɛno enti, ɔwoo mmammarima ne mmammaa bebree.
14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Yeinom ne Dawid mmammarima a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elisama, Eliada ne Elifelet.
17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth down unto the fortress,
Ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid, de no asi Israelhene no, wɔboaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano, kɔhwehwɛɛ Dawid sɛ wɔbɛnya no akye no. Na Dawid teeɛ no, ɔno nso kɔɔ ne banbɔeɛm.
18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
Afei, Filistifoɔ no bɛduruu Refaim bɔnhwa mu, na wɔtrɛtrɛɛ wɔn ho mu wɔ hɔ.
19 And David asketh of Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go up unto the Philistines? dost Thou give them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith unto David, 'Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.'
Enti, Dawid bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Menkɔto nhyɛ Filistifoɔ yi so anaa? Wobɛdane wɔn ahyɛ me nsa anaa?” Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Aane, kɔ na mɛdane Filistifoɔ no ahyɛ wo nsa.”
20 And David cometh in to Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and saith, 'Jehovah hath broken forth [on] mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters;' therefore he hath called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
Enti, Dawid kɔɔ Baal-Perasim, na ɛhɔ na ɔdii Filistifoɔ no so nkonim. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade ayɛ! Ɔbɔ wuraa mʼatamfoɔ no mu sɛ nsuyire a ɛreworo so!” Enti Dawid too beaeɛ hɔ din sɛ Baal-Perasim.
21 And they forsake there their idols, and David and his men lift them up.
Filistifoɔ no gyaa wɔn ahoni wɔ hɔ, maa Dawid ne ne mmarima no soaa ne nyinaa kɔeɛ.
22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim,
Filistifoɔ no sane baa bio bɛhwetee wɔn ho mu wɔ Refaim bɔnhwa ho,
23 and David asketh of Jehovah, and He saith, 'Thou dost not go up, turn round unto their rear, and thou hast come to them over-against the mulberries,
enti, Dawid bisaa Awurade deɛ ɔnyɛ. Awurade buaa sɛ, “Nkɔ tee, mmom, twa fa wɔn ho wɔ wɔn akyi, na to hyɛ wɔn so wɔ baka nnua no anim.
24 and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in the camp of the Philistines.'
Na sɛ wote nnyegyeeɛ te sɛ nsrabɔ bi wɔ baka nnua no atifi a, kɔtua wɔn! Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade atu di wʼanim rekɔkunkum Filistifoɔ no.”
25 And David doth so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smiteth the Philistines from Geba unto thy coming to Gazer.
Enti, Dawid yɛɛ deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no, na ɔsɛee Filistifoɔ no firi Geba de kɔsii Geser.
