1 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmararũa na itũũra rĩa Keila, na magatunyana ngano ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mahuhĩro-inĩ.”
Ɛda koro bi, Dawid tee sɛ Filistifoɔ no aba Keila, na wɔrewia wɔn ayuo wɔ wɔn ayuporobea.
2 Nake agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjagĩrĩirwo nĩgũthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Afilisti acio?” Nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgatharĩkĩre Afilisti nĩguo ũhonokie Keila.”
Dawid bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Menkɔto nhyɛ wɔn so anaa?” Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, kɔ na kɔgye Keila.”
3 No andũ a Daudi makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ Juda nĩtũretigĩra. Githĩ tũtigũgĩĩtigĩra makĩria twathiĩ Keila tũkarũe na mbũtũ cia Afilisti!”
Nanso, Dawid mmarima no kaa sɛ, “Yuda ha mpo yɛsuro. Yɛmpɛ sɛ yɛbɛkɔ Keila akɔko atia Filistifoɔ akodɔm no nyinaa.”
4 O rĩngĩ Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka ũthiĩ Keila, nĩ ũndũ nĩngũneana Afilisti guoko-inĩ gwaku.”
Enti Dawid bisaa Awurade bio maa Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Kɔ Keila na mɛboa wo ama woadi Filistifoɔ no so nkonim.”
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake magĩthiĩ Keila, makĩrũa na Afilisti, na makĩmataha mahiũ mao. Akĩrehera Afilisti hathara nene, na akĩhonokia andũ a Keila.
Enti, Dawid ne ne mmarima kɔɔ Keila. Wɔkunkumm Filistifoɔ no nyinaa, faa wɔn nyɛmmoa, gyee Keilafoɔ no.
6 (Na rĩrĩ, Abiatharu mũrũ wa Ahimeleku nĩokĩte akuuĩte ebodi rĩrĩa aikũrũkire, akĩũrĩra kũrĩ Daudi kũu Keila.)
Ahimelek ba Ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar redwane akɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Keila no, ɔfaa asɔfotadeɛ sɛ ɔrekɔgye mmuaeɛ afiri Awurade nkyɛn ama Dawid.
7 Saũlũ akĩĩrwo atĩ Daudi nĩathiĩte Keila, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩamũneanĩte kũrĩ niĩ, nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩehingĩrĩirie na ũndũ wa gũtoonya itũũra rĩrĩ na ihingo na mĩgĩĩko.”
Ankyɛre, Saulo tee sɛ Dawid wɔ Keila. Ɔteaam sɛ, “Ɛyɛ. Afei, yɛn nsa aka no. Afei, Onyankopɔn de no ama me. Ɔno ara ama kuro yi ho afasuo ayi no!”
8 Nake Saũlũ agĩĩta mbũtũ ciake ciothe mathiĩ mbaara, nĩguo maikũrũke Keila makahingĩrĩrie Daudi na andũ ake.
Enti, Saulo boaboaa nʼakodɔm nyinaa ano sɛ ɔde wɔn rekɔ Keila akɔtua Dawid ne ne mmarima.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aamenyire atĩ Saũlũ nĩaciirĩire kũmwĩka ũũru-rĩ, akĩĩra Abiatharu mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Rehe ebodi ĩyo.”
Nanso Dawid hunuu Saulo nhyehyɛeɛ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar sɛ, ɔmfa asɔfotadeɛ no mmra, na ɔmmisa Awurade deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ.
10 Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ndungata yaku nĩ ĩiguĩte hatarĩ nganja atĩ Saũlũ nĩarooka Keila aniine itũũra rĩĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
Na Dawid bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, mate sɛ Saulo ayɛ nhyehyɛeɛ sɛ ɔbɛba abɛsɛe Keila, ɛfiri sɛ, mewɔ ha.
11 Hihi aikari a Keila nĩmekũũneana kũrĩ we? Hihi Saũlũ nĩegũikũrũka gũkũ, ta ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩiguĩte? Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, menyithia ndungata yaku ũhoro.” Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩegũikũrũka.”
Merebisa sɛ, enti Keila mmarima bɛyi me ama no anaa? Na Saulo bɛba ampa ara sɛdeɛ mete no? Ao, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ka kyerɛ me.” Na Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Ɔbɛba.”
12 O rĩngĩ Daudi akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Hihi aikari a Keila nĩmekũneana, niĩ na andũ akwa, kũrĩ Saũlũ?” Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmegũkũneana.”
Bio, Dawid bisaa sɛ, “Enti, Keila mmarima bɛyi me ne me mmarima ama Saulo anaa?” Na Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, wɔbɛyi mo ama.”
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake, andũ ta magana matandatũ, makiuma Keila, na magĩikara magĩcangacangaga kũndũ na kũndũ. Rĩrĩa Saũlũ eerirwo atĩ Daudi nĩorĩte akoima Keila, agĩtiga gũthiĩ kuo.
Na Dawid ne ne mmarima bɛyɛ sɛ ahansia firii Keila, na wɔkyinkyinii baabiara a wɔbɛtumi akɔ. Na Saulo tee sɛ Dawid afiri Keila no, ɔgyaee nʼakyi die.
14 Nake Daudi agĩikara ciĩhitho cia werũ-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ cia Werũ wa Zifu. O mũthenya Saũlũ nĩamũcaragia, no Ngai ndaaneanire Daudi moko-inĩ make.
Afei, Dawid tenaa nʼabanbɔeɛ hɔ wɔ ɛserɛ so ne Sif mmepɔ asase no so. Saulo hwehwɛɛ no adekyeɛ ne adesaeɛ biara, nanso Awurade amma no anhunu no.
15 Rĩrĩa Daudi aarĩ Horeshu kũu Werũ wa Zifu, akĩmenya atĩ Saũlũ okĩte nĩguo amũũrage.
Dabi a Dawid wɔ Hores wɔ Sif ɛserɛ so no, ɔtee sɛ Saulo nam ɛkwan so reba hɔ abɛhwehwɛ no akum no.
16 Nake Jonathani mũrũ wa Saũlũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi kũu Horeshu na akĩmũteithia kwĩyũmĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa Ngai.
Na Yonatan kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hores kɔhyɛɛ no den wɔ Onyankopɔn ho gyidie mu.
17 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, Baba Saũlũ ndagakũhutia na guoko gwake. Wee nĩũgathamakĩra Isiraeli, na niĩ nduĩke mũnini waku. O na Baba Saũlũ, nĩoĩ ũguo.”
Yonatan hyɛɛ no den sɛ, “Nsuro! Mʼagya Saulo renhunu wo da. Wobɛyɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel, na mayɛ wʼabadiakyire, sɛdeɛ mʼagya Saulo nim no.”
18 Nao eerĩ makĩgĩa kĩrĩkanĩro mbere ya Jehova. Thuutha ũcio Jonathani akĩinũka, no Daudi agĩtigwo kũu Horeshu.
Wɔn baanu no hyɛɛ wɔn ayɔnkofa apam mu den wɔ Awurade anim. Afei, Yonatan kɔɔ efie na Dawid deɛ, ɔtenaa Hores hɔ.
19 Nao andũ a Azifu makĩambata magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Saũlũ kũu Gibea makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Daudi ndehithĩte gatagatĩ-inĩ gaitũ ciĩhitho-inĩ cia gũkũ Horeshu, kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩa Hakila, mwena wa gũthini wa Jeshimoni?
Ɛnna Sififoɔ no kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn wɔ Gibea kɔyii Dawid maeɛ sɛ, “Yɛnim baabi a Dawid akɔhinta. Ɔwɔ banbɔeɛ mu, wɔ Hores a ɛwɔ Hakila mmepɔ mu, wɔ Yesimon anafoɔ fam ha yi.
20 Na rĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, ikũrũka ũũke o rĩrĩa rĩothe ũngĩenda gũũka, na ithuĩ nĩ igũrũ riitũ kũmũneana kũrĩ mũthamaki.”
Ɔhene, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛnya kwan no, bra na yɛbɛkyere no ama wo.”
21 Saũlũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova aromũrathima nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩĩnjiiria.
Saulo kaa sɛ, “Awurade nhyira mo! Afei, mahunu sɛ, mʼasɛm fa obi ho.
22 Thiĩi mũkehaarĩrie makĩria. Tuĩriai nĩ kũ Daudi amenyerete gũthiiaga, na nũũ ũmuonete kuo. Njĩrĩĩtwo atĩ nĩ mũndũ mwara mũno.
Monkɔ mu bio, nkɔhwehwɛ, nhunu baabi a ɔte ne obi a wahunu no wɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, menim sɛ ɔyɛ oniferefoɔ.
23 Tuĩriai ũhoro wa kũrĩa guothe ehithaga na mũndehere ũhoro mũkinyanĩru. Na niĩ nĩngũcooka thiĩ na inyuĩ; angĩkorwo arĩ kũndũ gũkũ-rĩ, nĩngamũcaria mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Juda.”
Monhwehwɛ nʼahintaeɛm, na monsane mmra mmɛka biribi pɔtee nkyerɛ me. Na me ne mo bɛkɔ. Na sɛ ɔwɔ ɛpɔ mu hɔ nko ara deɛ a, mɛnya no, na mpo, sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mehwehwɛ ahintaeɛ biara a ɛwɔ Yuda a, mɛyɛ!”
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara magĩthiĩ kũu Zifu, magĩkinya mbere ya Saũlũ. Na rĩrĩ, Daudi na andũ ake maarĩ kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Maoni, kũu Araba mwena wa gũthini wa Jeshimoni.
Na Sif mmarima dii Saulo ɛkan kɔɔ wɔn kurom. Saa ɛberɛ no mu na Dawid ne ne mmarima kɔ Maon ɛserɛ a ɛwɔ Araba bɔnhwa a ɛwɔ Yesimon anafoɔ fam no so.
25 Nake Saũlũ na andũ ake makĩambĩrĩria kũmacaria, na rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio, agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, agĩikara kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Maoni. Rĩrĩa Saũlũ aiguire ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, o nake agĩthiĩ kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Maoni aingatithĩtie Daudi na ihenya.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee sɛ Saulo ne ne mmarima rehwehwɛ no no, ɔdɔɔ mu kɔɔ ɛserɛ so akyirikyiri, kɔsii ɔbotan kɛseɛ no ho, tenaa Maon ɛserɛ so hɔ. Nanso Saulo kɔɔ so pɛɛ no.
26 Saũlũ aagerete mwena ũmwe wa kĩrĩma, nake Daudi na andũ ake makagerera mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ, mahiũhĩte nĩguo morĩre Saũlũ. Na rĩrĩa Saũlũ na thigari ciake maakuhagĩrĩria Daudi na andũ ake nĩguo mamanyiite-rĩ,
Afei Saulo ne Dawid kɔdii afa ne afa wɔ bepɔ no so. Ɛbaa sɛ Saulo ne ne mmarima hyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ wɔrebɛn Dawid no,
27 hagĩũka mũndũ watũmĩtwo kũrĩ Saũlũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka na ihenya! Afilisti nĩmatharĩkĩire bũrũri.”
Saulo nyaa nkra bi a emu yɛ den sɛ, Filistifoɔ abɛto ahyɛ Israel so refom wɔn nneɛma bio.
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ agĩtiga kũrũmĩrĩra Daudi, agĩthiĩ agacemanie na Afilisti. Nĩkĩo metaga handũ hau Sela-Hamalekothu.
Ɛno enti, Saulo gyaee Dawid akyidie, na ɔsane nʼakyi sɛ ɔne Filistifoɔ no rekɔko. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, baabi a Dawid tenaeɛ hɔ no, wɔtoo no edin Dwaneeɛ Botan.
29 Nake Daudi akĩambata akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ gũtũũra ciĩhitho-inĩ cia Eni-Gedi.
Enti, Dawid kɔtenaa En-Gedi banbɔeɛ.
