9 Ale David va nɔ mɔ la me hena ŋkɔe be, “David Ƒe Du.” Ekeke dua ɖe edzi tso Milo xoxoa ɖo ta du si li fifia la titina.
Forsothe Dauid dwellide in the tour, and clepide it the citee of Dauid; and he bildide bi cumpas fro Mello, and with ynne.
10 Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Mawu ŋusẽkatãtɔ la nɔ kplii.

11 Azɔ la, Hiram, Tiro fia dɔ dɔlawo ɖo ɖe David. Etsɔ sedatiwo, gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo kpe ɖe wo ŋuti eye wotu fiasã na David.

13 Esi David ʋu yi Hebron la, egaɖe srɔ̃ bubuwo, egaɖo ahiãvi yeyewo eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu geɖewo.

17 Esi Filistitɔwo se be David zu Israel fia yeyea la, woƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu be yewoayi aɖalée. Ke David se be Filistitɔwo gbɔna eya ta wòsi yi mɔ sesẽ la me.

19 David bia Yehowa be, “Mayi aɖawɔ aʋa kpli woa? Ɖe nàtsɔ wo ade asi nama?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, yi, matsɔ wo ade asi na wò.”
And Dauid counseilide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie to Filisties, and whether thou schalt yyue hem in myn hond? And the Lord seide to Dauid, Stie thou, for Y schal bitake, and Y schal yyue Filisteis in thin hond.
20 Ale David yi ɖawɔ aʋa kpli wo le Baal Perazim eye wòɖu wo dzi. Egblɔ be, “Yehowae ɖu wo dzi; eƒu du to nye futɔwo dome abe ale si tɔsisi gba goe ene.” Ale wona ŋkɔ teƒe la be Baal Perazim si gɔmee nye “Aƒetɔ si gba go.”
Therfor Dauid cam in to Baal Farasym, and smoot hem there, and seide, The Lord departide myn enemyes bifor me, as watris ben departid. Therfor the name of that place was clepid Baal Farasym.
21 Filistitɔwo gblẽ woƒe legbawo ɖe anyi eye David kple eƒe amewo fɔ wo.

And Filisteis addiden yit, that thei schulden stie, and thei weren spred abrood in the valey of Raphaym.
23 Esi David bia Yehowa be nu ka yeawɔ hã la, eɖo eŋu be, “Mègakpe aʋa kpli wo ŋkume kple ŋkume o, ke boŋ to wo megbe eye nàdo ɖe balsamtiawo gbɔ.
Sotheli Dauid councelide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie agens Filisties, and whether thou schalt bitake hem in to myn hondis? Which answeride, Thou schalt not stie ayens hem, but cumpasse thou bihynde her bak, and thou schalt come to hem on the contrarie side of the pere trees.
24 Ne èse gbeɖiɖi aɖe le atiawo tame abe asrafowoe le azɔli zɔm ene la, ekema nàdze wo dzi. Esiae anye dzesi na wò be Yehowa dze ŋgɔ na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo.”
And whanne thou schalt here the sown of cry goynge in the cop of `pere trees, thanne thou schalt biginne batel; for thanne the Lord schal go out befor thi face, that he smyte the castels of Filisteis.
25 Ale David wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wòsi Filistitɔwo tso keke Gibeon va se ɖe Gezer.
Therfor Dauid dide as the Lord comaundide to hym; and he smoot Filisteys fro Gabaa til `the while thei camen to Jezer.
