1 Imilando 18
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi uDavida wahlasela amaFilistiya wawanqoba, wathumba iGathi lemizana eseduzane layo eyayiphethwe ngamaFilistiya.
Eyi akyi no, Dawid ko dii Gat ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no so nkonim, de kaa Filistifo no hyɛe, brɛɛ wɔn ase.
2 UDavida wanqoba njalo amaMowabi aba ngaphansi kwakhe athela kuye.
Bio, Dawid dii Moab asase no so nkonim, maa Moabfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wotua sonkahiri ma no.
3 Kanti njalo, uDavida walwa loHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, kwaze kwafika eHamathi, esiyamisa umbuso wakhe emangweni olandela uMfula iYufrathe.
Afei, Dawid tɔree ɔhene Hadadeser a ofi Soba asraafo ase de kosii Hamat, bere a Hadadeser bɔɔ nsra wɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho sɛ anka ɔrehyɛ ne tumi mu den no.
4 UDavida wathumba izinqola zakhe zokulwa eziyinkulungwane, abatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba phansi azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili. Wawaquma imisila wonke amabhiza ezinqola zokulwa kwasala alikhulu kuphela.
Dawid ko gyee nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafo mpem ason ne asraafo anantefo mpem aduonu. Afei, obubuu apɔnkɔ a wɔtwe nteaseɛnam no nyinaa anan, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 Kwathi ama-Aramu aseDamaseko ezoncedisa uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, uDavida wawatshaya wawabhuqa ama-Aramu kwafa azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lambili.
Bere a Aramfo fi Damasko bae sɛ wɔrebɛboa Hadadeser no, Dawid kunkum wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien.
6 Wenza izinqaba e-Aramu embusweni waseDamaseko, ama-Aramu aba ngaphansi kombuso wakhe athela kuye. UThixo wanika uDavida ukunqoba kuzozonke izindawo ayezihlasela.
Afei, ɔde asraafo guu Damasko, Aram ahenkurow mu, maa Aramfo no bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa a na wɔbrɛ no sonkahiri. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 UDavida wathatha amahawu egolide ayephethwe yizikhulu zikaHadadezeri wawathwalela eJerusalema.
Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
8 Kusukela eThebha laseKhuni, imizi eyayingekaHadadezeri, uDavida wathatha khona ithusi elinengi kakhulu, lelo uSolomoni enza ngalo uLwandle lwethusi, izinsika lezinye impahla ezabunjwa ngethusi.
Ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae bebree a efi Hadadeser nkuropɔn Tibhat ne Kun kaa ho bae. Akyiri no, Salomo nan kɔbere mfrafrae no de yɛɛ asɔredan no ho adwuma. Ɔde yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafrae Po na ɔde bi yɛɛ afadum ne kɔbere nkuku ne nkaka a wɔde di dwuma wɔ asɔredan no mu.
9 Kuthe lapho Towu inkosi yaseHamathi isizwe ukuthi uDavida usenqobe lonke ibutho likaHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha,
Bere a Hamathene Tou tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,
10 wathumela indodana yakhe uHadoramu enkosini uDavida ukuthi iyembingelela emenzela amhlophe ngokunqoba uHadadezeri owayekade esilwa impi loTowu. UHadoramu wayethwele imihlobohlobo yezimpahla zegolide lesiliva kanye lezethusi.
ɔsomaa ne babarima Hadoram ma ɔkɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn kɔmaa no mo wɔ ne nkonimdi no ho. Na Hadadeser ne Tou atan wɔn ho akyɛ, a na akokoakoko aba wɔn ntam. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne kɔbere mfrafrae bebree.
11 Inkosi uDavida yazahlukanisela kuThixo, lezo zinto njengalokho eyayikwenze impahla zegolide lesiliva ezazithunjwe kulezozizwe zama-Edomi lamaMowabi, lama-Amoni, lamaFilistiya lama-Amaleki.
Ɔhene Dawid hyiraa saa akyɛde yi nyinaa so maa Awurade, a dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔfa fii aman foforo a ɔkaa wɔn hyɛe no so no nyinaa ka ho. Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filisti ne Amalek.
12 U-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya watshaya wabhuqa ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili eSigodini seTswayi.
Seruia babarima Abisai kunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu.
13 Wabeka inkamba zamabutho okulinda e-Edomi, bonke abase-Edomi babangaphansi kombuso kaDavida. UThixo wapha uDavida ukunqoba kuzozonke izindawo ayesiya kuzo.
Ɔde asraafo duaduaa Edom nyinaa, maa Edomfo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Eyi yɛ sɛnea Awurade maa Dawid dii nkonim wɔ baabiara a ɔkɔe no nhwɛso.
14 UDavida wabusa kulolonke elako-Israyeli, esenza okuqondileyo lokulungele abantu bakhe bonke.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
15 UJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephethe amabutho; uJehoshafathi indodana ka-Ahiludi engumlobi,
Na Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
16 uZadokhi indodana ka-Ahithubi lo-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Abhiyathari babengabaphristi; uShavisha wayengumabhalane;
Ahitub babarima Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Abimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfo. Sawsa na na ɔyɛ asennii kyerɛwfo.
17 uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephethe amaKherethi lamaPhelethi, lamadodana kaDavida ayeyizikhulu ayeseduzane lenkosi embusweni.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so. Dawid mmabarima somee sɛ ɔhene aboafo mpanyimfo.
