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 came to pass, at the time of the turn of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that Joab led forth the force of the army, and laid waste the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah, but, David, was tarrying in Jerusalem, —and Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
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 took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it weighed a talent of gold, and, therein, were precious stones, and it was [set] on the head of David, —and, the spoil of the city, brought he forth, in great abundance;
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, the people that were therein, brought he forth, and cut with the saw and with threshing sledges of iron and with axes, thus also, used David to do unto all the cities of the son of Ammon, —and David and all the people returned 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 came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gezer, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbecai the Hushathite smote Sippai of the children of the giants, and they were subdued.
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 again came to be a battle with the Philistines, —and Elhanan son of Jair smote Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear, was like a weaver’s 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 again came to be war with Gath, —where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes, six on each hand and foot, were four and twenty, and, he also, had been born unto the giant.
7 Esi wòɖu fewu le Israel ŋu la, David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi, Yonatan wui.
But, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea brother of David, smote him.
8 Ame siawo nye Rafa ƒe dzidzime viwo tso Gat eye wotsi David kple eƒe amewo ƒe asi me.
These, were born unto the giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
