1 Ebyomumirembe 20
1 Awo mu biro, bakabaka mwe bagenderanga okulwana, Yowaabu n’akulembera eggye, n’azisa ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, ate era n’azingiza Labba. Naye Dawudi ye n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, Yowaabu ye n’alumba Labba, n’akizikiriza.
Asusɔ berɛ, afe mu ɛberɛ a ahemfo kɔ ɔko no, Yoab dii Israel akodɔm anim, kɔto hyɛɛ Amonfoɔ nkuro ne nkuraa so, dii wɔn so nkonim. Akodie no mu no, wɔtuaa Raba kuropɔn no, sɛee no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Dawid te akyire wɔ Yerusalem.
2 Awo Dawudi n’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agitikka ku mutwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga ekyo.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid duruu Raba no, ɔtuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛ, na wɔde hyɛɛ Dawid. Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ahenkyɛ no na wɔde aboɔdemmoɔ abobɔ mu. Na emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan. Dawid faa asadeɛ bebree firii kuro no mu.
3 Yatwala abantu abaali mu kibuga ekyo n’abawa emirimu nga bakozesa n’emisumeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi. Bw’atyo Dawudi bwe yakola ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni, oluvannyuma ye n’eggye lye lyonna ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
Ɔde Rabafoɔ no yɛɛ nkoa, hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔde ɛwan, fatudadeɛ ne mmonnua yɛɛ adwuma. Saa ara na ɔhyɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Amon nkuropɔn nyinaa so. Na Dawid ne nʼakodɔm sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
4 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne wabalukawo entalo n’Abafirisuuti e Gezeri. Mu kiseera ekyo Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Sippayi omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene ddala, era ne bawangula Abafirisuuti.
Yei akyi, ɔko sii wɔne Filistifoɔ ntam wɔ Geser. Ɔko no mu, Sibekai a ɔfiri Husa kumm Sipai a ɔyɛ ɔbrane no aseni. Enti wɔkaa Filistifoɔ no hyɛeɛ.
5 Mu lutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri n’atta Lakani muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti, eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
Ɔko foforɔ bi a wɔne Filistifoɔ koeɛ mu no, Yair babarima Elhanan kumm Gatni Goliat nuabarima Lahmi. Na Lahmi pea nsa mu pipiripie te sɛ ntomanwomfoɔ nsadua.
6 Mu lutalo olulala olwali e Gaasi, waaliwo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyali omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene, ng’alina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono, n’obugere mukaaga ku buli kigere.
Ɔko foforɔ bi nso a wɔne Filistifoɔ koo wɔ Gat no, ɔbrane bi a ɔyɛ abrane asefoɔ no bi a ɔyɛ nsansia yɛ nansia wɔ ne nsa ne ne nan biara so no
7 Yasoomooza nnyo Isirayiri, era Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeyi, muganda wa Dawudi n’amutta.
buu Israel animtia, twitwaa mpoa. Na Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima Yonatan kumm no.
8 Abo bonna baali bazzukulu ba lisajja Laafa ow’e Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mikono gya Dawudi n’abasajja be.
Na saa Filistifoɔ yi yɛ Gat abrane no asefoɔ nanso Dawid ne nʼakofoɔ kunkumm wɔn.
