Kronika 1 20
1 Le Adame esi fiawo ƒe aʋawɔɣi ɖo la, Yoab nɔ ŋgɔ na asrafohawo. Ewɔ Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba wòtrɔ zu gbegbe eye woɖaɖe to ɖe Raba, ke David nɔ Yerusalem. Yoab dze Raba dzi eye wòwɔe wòzu aƒedo.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the turn of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that Joab leads out the force of the host, and destroys the land of the sons of Ammon, and comes in and besieges Rabbah—David is abiding in Jerusalem—and Joab strikes Rabbah, and breaks it down.
2 David ɖe fiakuku le woƒe fia, Milkom ƒe ta eye wotsɔe ɖɔ na Fia David. Fiakuku la ƒe kpekpeme anɔ sika kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye wotsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo atsyɔ nɛ. Woha afunyinu geɖe le du la me.
And David takes the crown of their king from off his head, and finds it [to be] a talent of gold [in] weight, and [with] precious stone in it, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out very much spoil of the city,
3 Ekplɔ dua me nɔlawo dzoe eye wode dɔ sesẽwo wɔwɔ asi na wo be woawɔ laxalaxadɔwo, fiwo kple fiadɔwo. David wɔ alea le Amonitɔwo ƒe duwo katã me. Emegbe David kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la gbugbɔ yi Yerusalem.
and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus David does to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turns back—and all the people—to Jerusalem.
4 Egawɔ aʋa kple Filistitɔwo le Gezer, ke Sibekai, ŋutsu aɖe tso Husat, wu Sipai, si nye Refaim ƒe dzidzimeviwo dometɔ ɖeka ale Filistitɔwo na ta.
And it comes to pass after this, that war remains in Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
5 Le aʋa bubu si wogawɔ kple Filistitɔwo me la, Elhanan, Yair ƒe vi, wu Lahmi, Goliat nɔvi, ame si ƒe akplɔti lolo abe ati si le avɔlɔ̃lawo ƒe agbati me ene.
And there is war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan son of Jair strikes Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
6 Le aʋa bubu si wowɔ le Gat me la, ame dzɔtsu aɖe to asibidɛ ade ɖe asi ɖe sia ɖe kple afɔbidɛ ade ɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe, asibidɛawo kple afɔbidɛawo de blaeve-vɔ-ene. Eya hã nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimevi.
And there is war in Gath again, and there is a man of [great] measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six—twenty-four [total], and he has also been born to the giant.
7 Esi wòɖu fewu le Israel ŋu la, David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi, Yonatan wui.
And he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, strikes him.
8 Ame siawo nye Rafa ƒe dzidzime viwo tso Gat eye wotsi David kple eƒe amewo ƒe asi me.
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
