Bere a Dawid guan fii Kis babarima Saulo anim kohintaw wɔ Siklag no, saa mmarima yi kɔdɔm no. Na wɔka dɔmmarima a wɔboa Dawid wɔ akodi mu no ho.

8 Abanye abakoGadi babalekela kuDavida enqabeni yakhe enkangala. Babengamabutho alezibindi, belungele ukulwa njalo bekwazi ukuphatha ihawu lomkhonto. Ubuso babo babungobezilwane, njalo belesiqubu njengamagogo ezintabeni.
Gadfo akofo akokodurufo bi a wɔakwadaw akodi mu guan kɔɔ Dawid afa bere a na ɔwɔ aguaabɔ mu wɔ sare so no. Na wɔyɛ nimdefo wɔ nkatabo ne peaw akodi mu a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ gyata, na wɔn ho yɛ hare te sɛ mmepɔw so atwe.

14 Amadoda akoGadi ayengabalawuli bamabutho, kuthi omncinyane wabo wayengamelana labalikhulu kodwa omkhulu wabo engamelana labayinkulungwane.
Saa dɔmmarima a wofi Gad yi yɛ asahene. Nea ɔnyɛ den koraa no, otumi ne asraafo ɔha ko, na nea ɔyɛ den no tumi ne asraafo apem ko.
15 Yiwo la amadoda achapha uJodani ngenyanga yakuqala umfula ugcwele uphuphuma emakhunjini awo wonke, yibo njalo abaxotsha bonke ababehlala ezihotsheni, empumalanga kanye lasentshonalanga.
Afe no mfiase a Asubɔnten Yordan ayiri no, wotwa kɔpam nnipa a wɔtete tataw so wɔ nʼapuei ne nʼatɔe konkɔn so nyinaa fii hɔ.
16 Amanye amadoda akoBhenjamini lamanye ayevela koJuda lawo alandela uDavida khonale enqabeni yakhe.
Afoforo a wofi Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ hintabea hɔ.
17 UDavida waphuma ukuba ayewahlangabeza wathi kuwo: “Nxa lingilandela ngokuthula, lizongiphathisa njengabangane, ngizimisele ukuhlanganyela kanye lani. Kodwa nxa lidinga ukunginikela ezitheni zami, mina ngimsulwa, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho kakubone lokho, alijezise.”
Dawid kohyiaa wɔn kae se, “Sɛ moaba asomdwoe so sɛ morebɛboa me a, yɛyɛ nnamfo. Na sɛ moaba sɛ morebeyi me ama mʼatamfo wɔ bere a menyɛɛ bɔne bi a, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn nhwɛ mmu mo atɛn.”
18 Ngakho uMoya wasesehlela ku-Amasayi, umlawuli wabangamatshumi amaThathu, wathi: “Singabakho thina, wena Davida! Sikanye lawe wena ndodana kaJese! Impumelelo, impumelelo kuwe, njalo impumelelo kulabo abaphathisana lawe! Ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uzakusiza.” Ngakho uDavida wabamukela wabenza abakhokheli bamaviyo amabutho ayehlasela.
Na honhom no sii Amasai a akyiri no ɔbɛyɛɛ Aduasa no so panyin no so, na ɔkae se, “Yɛyɛ wo dea, Dawid! Yɛwɔ wʼafa, Yisai ba; Asomdwoe ne nkɔso nyɛ wo kyɛfa na wʼaboafo nyinaa nya nkɔso, efisɛ wo Nyankopɔn ne nea ɔboa wo.” Enti Dawid ma wɔbɛkaa ne ho, na ɔyɛɛ wɔn mpanyimfo wɔ nʼakofo mu.
19 Amanye amadoda akoManase abalekela kuDavida ekuhambeni kwakhe lamaFilistiya esiyahlasela uSawuli. (Yena kanye lamabutho akhe kasazange ancedise amaFilistiya, ngoba ngemva kokubuzisisana, ababusi bawo bathi kaxotshwe. Bathi bona: “Uyingozi kithi, ngoba angasiphendukela abuyele enkosini yakhe uSawuli.”)
Manase mmarima no bi tew wɔn ho kɔdɔm Dawid, bere a na ɔne Filistifo no rekɔko atia Saulo no. Nanso asɛm no ani dan a Filistifo ntuanofo ampene so sɛ Dawid ne ne mmarima no bɛka wɔn ho akɔ. Wodwinnwen ho ara no, wɔma wɔsan wɔn akyi kae se, “Sɛ Dawid dan nʼani kɔ Saulo afa de tia yɛn a, yɛn nkwa na yɛde betwa so.”
20 UDavida wathi esiya eZikhilagi, nanka amadoda abaleka koManase amlandela: ngu-Adina, loJozabhadi, loJediyeli, loMikhayeli, loJozabhadi, lo-Elihu kanye loZilethayi ababengabalawuli benkulungwane koManase.
Manase mmarima a wɔtew wɔn ho kɔɔ Dawid afa, bere a na ɔresan akɔ Siklag no ne Adna, Yosabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yosabad, Elihu ne Siletai. Na wɔn mu biara da asraafo apem ano.
21 Bancedisa uDavida ekulweni lamaviyo abahlaseli, ngoba bonke babengamabutho alezibindi, njalo basebengabalawuli phakathi kwamabutho akhe.
Wɔboaa Dawid ma ɔtaa afowfo no, efisɛ na wɔyɛ akokodurufo ne akofo akɛse a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakofo mu.
22 Insuku zonke, ukusa kwamalanga, kwakutheleka abantu bezoncedisa uDavida, waze waba lebutho elikhulu, njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
Adekyee biara, mmarima bebree kɔdɔm Dawid kosii sɛ onyaa asraafodɔm a ɛso te sɛ Onyankopɔn de.
23 Nanka amanani amadoda ayehlomele impi eza kuDavida eHebhroni ezomncedisa ukuthatha umbuso kaSawuli, njengokutsho kukaThixo:
Eyinom ne akofo akɛse dodow a wɔdɔm Dawid wɔ Hebron no. Na wɔn nyinaa pɛ sɛ Dawid si Saulo anan mu di hene, sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ ato hɔ no.
24 amadoda ayevela koJuda ehlome ngamahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane eziyisithupha lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili ehlomele ukulwa impi;
Akofo akɛse a wofi Yuda abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem asia ne ahanwɔtwe a wokurakura nkatabo ne mpeaw.

27 kubalwa loJehoyada, umkhokheli wabendlu ka-Aroni babezinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisikhombisa zamadoda
Na Yehoiada a otua Aaron abusua no ano no wɔ asraafo mpem abiɛsa ne ahanson a wɔhyɛ nʼase.
28 kanye loZadokhi, ibutho elaliseselijaha lilesibindi, lilezikhulu zendlu yakwabo ezingamatshumi amabili lambili;
Saa ara nso na na Sadok, ɔbabun ɔkofo kɛse ne nʼabusuafo aduonu abien a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asraafo mpanyimfo ka ho.
29 amadoda akoBhenjamini, labakibo kaSawuli babezinkulungwane ezintathu, ababesele bethembekile kuSawuli kuze kufike lesisikhathi yibo ababebanengi kulelonani;
Akofo akɛse a wofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu a wɔyɛ Saulo abusuafo no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem abiɛsa. Na Benyaminfo no mu fa kɛse no taa Saulo akyi ara.
30 amadoda ako-Efrayimi, amadoda ayelezibindi, edumile ezizwaneni zawo, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili,
Akofo akɛse a wofi Efraim abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduonu ne ahanwɔtwe a wɔn mu biara agye din wɔ nʼabusua mu.
31 amadoda ayevela kungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ekhethwe ngamabizo awo ukuba azobeka uDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi, ayezinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili;
Manase abusuakuw fa a na ɛwɔ Yordan atɔe fam no nso, wotuu mmarima mpem dunwɔtwe a wɔn botae ara ne sɛ wɔbɛboaa Dawid ma wadi hene.
32 amadoda ayevela ko-Isakhari, ayezwisisa umumo walesosikhathi njalo esazi ukuthi u-Israyeli kumele enzeni. Kwakuzinduna ezingamakhulu amabili kanye lezihlobo zazo ezazingaphansi kwazo;
Ntuanofo a wofi Isakar abusuakuw mu ne wɔn abusuafo dodow yɛ ahannu. Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa te nsɛm a ɛrekɔ so saa bere no ase, na wonim ɔkwan pa a eye ma Israel nso.
33 amadoda ayevela koZebhuluni, amabutho ayezingwazi empini, ngezikhali zemihlobo etshiyeneyo, eza ukuzancedisa uDavida ngokuzinikela okungalakuthandabuza, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu;
Akofo a wɔakwadaw akodi mu a wofi Sebulon abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduonum. Na wɔakɔ amia mu ayɛ krado ama akodi, na na wɔtaa Dawid akyi pintinn.
34 amadoda ayevela koNafithali kwakuyizikhulu eziyinkulungwane eyodwa, kanye lamadoda ayephethe amahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa;
Wɔn a wofi Naftali abusuakuw mu no yɛ asraafo mpanyimfo apem ne akofo akɛse mpem aduasa ason a wokurakura nkatabo ne mpeaw.
35 amadoda ayevela koDani, ezimisele ukulwa empini, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili lamakhulu ayisithupha;
Akofo a wofi Dan abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduonu awotwe ne ahansia a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko.
36 amadoda ayevela ko-Asheri, amabutho ayevele ekwejayele ukulwa empini njalo ezimisele ukulwa, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane;
Akofo akɛse a wɔatetew wɔn yiye a wofi Aser abusuakuw mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem aduanan a wɔn nyinaa ayɛ krado ama ɔko.
37 njalo ngempumalanga yeJodani, amadoda akoRubheni, koGadi lakungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ayehlome ngemihlobohlobo yezikhali, ayezinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili.
Ruben, Gad mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw fa a na wɔtete Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no maa asraafo mpem ɔha ne aduonu a wɔwɔ akode ahorow nyinaa.
38 Bonke laba babengamabutho azinikeleyo ukungena laloba yisiphi isigaba. Ngamabutho aya eHebhroni ezimisele ukufika abeke uDavida esihlalweni sobukhosi abe yinkosi ka-Israyeli. Abanye bonke abako-Israyeli babengqondonye befisa ukwethesa uDavida ubukhosi.
Saa asraafo yi nyinaa kɔɔ amia mu na wɔkɔɔ Hebron a wɔn botae ara ne sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ Israelhene. Nokware, Israel nyinaa adwene kɔɔ bɛnkorɔ mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Dawid na ɔyɛ wɔn hene.
39 Wonke lamadoda athatha insuku ezintathu eloDavida, esidla njalo enatha, njengoba izimuli zawo zaziwalungisele umphako.
Wɔne Dawid didi nomee nnansa, efisɛ na wɔn abusuafo no ayɛ ahoboa rehwɛ wɔn kwan.
40 Konke labomakhelwane babo, ababevela kude khonale ku-Isakhari, loZebhuluni lakuNafithali beza bethwele ukudla ngabobabhemi, amakamela, imbongolo langenkabi. Kwakulefulawa enengi, amakhekhe omkhiwane, amakhekhe erezini, iwayini, amafutha, inkomo lezimvu, ngoba kwakulokujabula ko-Israyeli.
