1 USamuyeli 30
1 UDavida labantu bakhe bafika eZikhilagi ngelanga lesithathu. Ama-Amaleki ayehlasele iNegebi leZikhilagi. Ayehlasele iZikhilagi ayitshisa,
Nnansa so, Dawid ne ne mmarima kɔduruu Siklag. Na Amalekfoɔ abɛto ahyɛ Negeb so ahye Siklag pasaa.
2 njalo ayethumbe abesifazane labo bonke ababekuyo, abatsha labadala. Kawabulalanga lamunye wabo, kodwa ahamba labo ekuhambeni kwawo.
Wɔkyekyeree mmaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmɔfra ne mpanin. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, na mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔeɛ.
3 Kwathi uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikhilagi, bayifica iqothulwe ngomlilo njalo omkabo lamadodana kanye lamadodakazi abo bethunjiwe.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no hunuu sɛdeɛ Siklag asɛeɛ ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafoɔ no,
4 Ngakho uDavida labantu bakhe bakhala kakhulu baze baphela amandla okukhala.
wɔtwaa agyaadwoɔ ara kɔsii sɛ afei na wɔntumi ntwa agyaadwoɔ no bio.
5 Abafazi bakaDavida bobabili babethunjiwe, u-Ahinowama waseJezerili lo-Abhigeli, umfelokazi kaNabhali waseKhameli.
Dawid yerenom baanu a wɔne Yesreelni Ahinoam ne Karmelni Abigail a na ɔyɛ Nabal yere no ka wɔn a wɔsoaa wɔn kɔeɛ no ho.
6 UDavida wayesekhathazeke kakhulu ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, lowo lalowo efuthelene emoyeni ngenxa yamadodana akhe lamadodakazi. Kodwa uDavida wathola amandla kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Dawid ho yeraa no yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wɔbɛsi no aboɔ, ɛsiane, wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa a wɔakyekye wɔn no enti. Nanso, Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn mu.
7 UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhiyatha umphristi, indodana ka-Ahimeleki, “Ngilethela isembatho samahlombe.” U-Abhiyathari wasiletha kuye,
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar, sɛ, “Fa asɔfotadeɛ no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de baeɛ.
8 uDavida wasebuza kuThixo esithi, “Ngililandele yini lelixuku elihlaselayo? Ngizalifica na?” Waphendula wathi, “Lilandele. Uzalifica impela njalo uzaphumelela ekuhlengeni.”
Na Dawid bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Menti ɛdɔm no anaa? Mɛto wɔn anaa?” Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Aane, ti wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afiri mo nkyɛn no, mo nsa bɛka ne nyinaa.”
9 UDavida labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye bafika eDongeni lwaseBhesori, lapho abanye abasala khona,
Enti, Dawid ne ne mmarima ahansia no sii ɛkwan so. Ankyɛre biara na wɔduruu Besor asuwa no so.
10 ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basebedinwe kakhulu ukuba bachaphe udonga. Kodwa uDavida labantu abangamakhulu amane baqhubeka belandela.
Nanso, mmarima no mu ahanu deɛ, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yie enti, wɔantumi antwa asuo no. Ɛno enti, Dawid de akodɔm ahanan a wɔaka no toaa so.
11 Bafica umGibhithe egangeni bamusa kuDavida. Bamnika amanzi okunatha lokudla ukuba adle,
Dawid akodɔm no bi hunuu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wiram hɔ na wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no burodo sɛ ɔnni ne nsuo sɛ ɔnnom.
12 ingxenye yekhekhe lemikhiwa ekhanyiweyo lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo. Wadla wathola amandla, ngoba wayengadlanga lutho njalo enganathanga manzi insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
Wɔsane maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba abɔnta, ɛfiri sɛ, na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛre na ɔnyaa ahoɔden.
13 UDavida wambuza wathi, “Ungokabani wena, njalo uvela ngaphi na?” Yena wathi, “NgingumGibhithe, isigqili somʼAmaleki. Inkosi yami ingitshiyile sengigula ensukwini ezintathu ezedluleyo.
Dawid bisaa no sɛ, “Hwan onipa ne wo, na wofiri he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaa me hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na meyare.
14 Sihlasele iNegebi yamaKherethi lelizwe likaJuda kanye leNegebi yamaKhalebi. Njalo iZikhilagi siyitshisile.”
Yɛkɔtuaa Keretifoɔ wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyee Siklag nkyɛreeɛ.”
15 UDavida wambuza wathi, “Ungangisa kulelixuku elihlaselayo na?” Waphendula wathi, “Funga kimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala kumbe unginikele enkosini yami, besengikusa-ke kubo.”
Dawid bisaa no sɛ, “Enti, wobɛdi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberanteɛ no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensane mfa me mma me wura deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, mɛdi wʼanim de wo akɔ.”
16 Wakhokhela uDavida, bababona begcwele indawana yonke, besidla, benatha njalo bejabula ngenxa yobunengi bempango ababeyithumbile elizweni lamaFilistiya kanye lakoJuda.
Na Misraimni no dii wɔn anim kɔɔ Amalekfoɔ no atenaeɛ. Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duruu hɔ no, na Amalekfoɔ no ahwete wɔ ɛserɛ no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛ resa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔanya asadeɛ bebree afiri Filistifoɔ nkyɛn ne Yuda asase so.
17 UDavida walwa labo kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa ngelanga elilandelayo, njalo kakho owabo owaphunyukayo ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane agada amakamela abaleka.
Dawid ne ne mmarima to hyɛɛ wɔn so, kunkumm wɔn wɔ akofena ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kɔsii adekyeeɛ no anwummerɛ. Amalekfoɔ no mu biara antumi annwane, agye mmarima ahanan a wɔtenatenaa nyoma so dwaneeɛ no.
18 UDavida wakuthatha njalo konke okwakuthunjwe ngama-Amaleki kanye labomkakhe ababili.
Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfoɔ no faeɛ, sane gyee ne yerenom baanu no.
19 Akukho lutho olwaswelakalayo: omutsha kumbe omdala, umfana kumbe inkazana, impango kumbe olunye nje ulutho ababeluthethe. UDavida wabuyisa konke.
Biribiara anyera: sɛ ɛyɛ ketewa anaa kɛseɛ, ɔbabarima anaa ɔbabaa anaa biribiara a wɔfom faeɛ no, Dawid de ne nyinaa sane baeɛ.
20 Wathatha izimvu zonke lenkomo, abantu bakhe baziqhuba ziphambi kwezinye izifuyo, besithi, “Le yimpango kaDavida.”
Nʼakodɔm no kaa nnwan ne anantwie no so, de wɔn baeɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom nyinaa wɔ Dawid sɛ nʼadwuma pa so akatua.”
21 Emva kwalokho uDavida wafika ebantwini abangamakhulu amabili ababedinwe kakhulu baze behluleka ukumlandela ababesele emuva eDongeni lwaseBhesori. Baphuma bahlangabeza uDavida kanye labantu ababelaye. Kwathi uDavida esesondela labantu bakhe, wababingelela.
Na wɔduruu Besor asuwa no so na wɔhunuu mmarima ahanu a ɔbrɛ dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyeaa wɔn anigyeɛ so.
22 Kodwa bonke abantu ababi labahlokozi bohlupho abaphakathi kwabalandeli bakaDavida, bathi, “Ngenxa yokuthi kabahambanga lathi kasiyikwabelana labo impango esiyithumbileyo. Kodwa yileyo laleyo indoda ingathatha umkayo labantwabayo ihambe.”
Nanso, Dawid mmarima no mu asɛmpɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ enti, wɔrennya asadeɛ no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmfiri yɛn ani so nkɔ.”
23 UDavida waphendula wathi, “Hatshi, bafowethu, akumelanga lenzenjalo ngalokho uThixo asiphe khona. Usivikele wawanikela kithi amabutho abesihlasela.
Nanso, Dawid kaa sɛ, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ deɛ Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkomenya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfoɔ so nkonim.
24 Pho ngubani ozalalela lokhu elikutshoyo na? Isabelo somuntu osele lempahla sizafana lesalowo ohambileyo ekulweni impi. Bonke bazakwabelwa ngokufanayo.”
Mogye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi bɛtie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ sa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akodeɛ so nyinaa.”
25 UDavida wenza lokhu kwaba yisimiso lomthetho ko-Israyeli kusukela ngalelolanga kuze kube yileli.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Dawid yɛɛ yei mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔgu so di so saa ara de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
26 UDavida esefikile eZikhilagi, wathumela enye impango ebadaleni bakoJuda, ababengabangane bakhe, esithi, “Nansi isipho senu esivela empangweni yezitha zikaThixo.”
Ɛberɛ a Dawid duruu Siklag no, ɔsoma maa wɔde asadeɛ no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kaa sɛ, “Mo akyɛdeɛ a yɛfa firi Awurade atamfoɔ nsam nie.”
27 Wayithumela kulabo ababeseBhetheli, leRamothi Negebi leJathiri,
Wɔde akyɛdeɛ no kɔmaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam, Yatir.
28 lakulabo abase-Aroweri, eSifimothi, e-Eshithemowa
Aroer, Sifmot, Estemoa,
29 leRakhali; kulabo ababesemizini yamaJerameli lamaKheni.
Rakal ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Yerahmeelfoɔ nkuro mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Kenifoɔ kuro mu,
30 Kulabo ababeseHoma, eBhori-Ashani, e-Athakhi
ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Horma, Bor-Asan, Atak,
31 laseHebhroni; lakubo ababekuzo zonke ezinye izindawo lapho uDavida labantu bakhe ababeke bazulazula kuzo.
Hebron ne mmeaemmeae a Dawid ne ne mmarima kyinkyinii hɔ nyinaa.
