2 USamuyeli 5
1 Zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli zaya kuDavida eHebhroni zathi, “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
Afei, Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo.
2 Esikhathini esedlulayo, uSawuli eseseyinkosi yethu, wena nguwe owawukhokhela u-Israyeli emkhankasweni wakhe wezimpi. LoThixo wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uzakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo uzakuba ngumbusi wabo.’”
Mmere bi a atwa mu no a mpo, na Saulo yɛ yɛn hene no, wo ara na wudii Israel anim. Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ me manfo Israel so guanhwɛfo. Wobɛyɛ wɔn kannifo.’”
3 Kwathi abadala bonke bako-Israyeli sebefikile enkosini uDavida eHebhroni, inkosi yenza isivumelwano labo eHebhroni phambi kukaThixo, basebegcoba uDavida ukuba abe yinkosi ko-Israyeli.
Enti Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo no yɛɛ apam wɔ Hebron Awurade anim. Na wɔsraa no ngo sii no Israelhene.
4 UDavida waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Dawid dii ade no, na wanya mfirihyia aduasa. Na odii ade mfirihyia aduanan.
5 EHebhroni wabusa uJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa lezinyanga eziyisithupha, kwathi eJerusalema wabusa u-Israyeli wonke loJuda iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu.
Ɔtenaa Hebron dii ade wɔ Yuda so mfirihyia ason ne asram asia. Na ɔtenaa Yerusalem no nso, odii Israel ne Yuda nyinaa so hene mfirihyia aduasa abiɛsa.
6 Inkosi labantu bayo baya eJerusalema ukuyahlasela amaJebusi ayehlala khona. AmaJebusi athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha; leziphofu labaqhulayo bangakuvimba.” Acabanga athi, “UDavida angeke angene lapha.”
Dawid dii nʼakofo anim kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔko tiaa Yebusifo. Yebusifo no dii wɔn ho fɛw se, “Morentumi mma ha. Na mpo, anifuraefo ne mmubuafo betu mo afi ha.” Efisɛ na Yebusifo no dwene sɛ wɔwɔ bammɔ.
7 Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
Nanso Dawid ko faa Sion aban no a mprempren wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kuropɔn no.
8 Ngalolosuku uDavida wathi, “Lowo onqoba amaJebusi kuzamele asebenzise umgelo wamanzi ukuba afinyelele ‘abaqhulayo leziphofu’ labo abayizitha zikaDavida.” Yikho-nje besithi, “Iziphofu labaqhulayo” kabayikungena esigodlweni.
Bere a animka nkra fi bammɔfo a wɔwɔ kurow no mu duu Dawid asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne dɔm no se, “Momfa nsudorobɛn no mu nkɔ kurow no mu, na monkɔsɛe Yebusifo mpakye ne anifuraefo no, efisɛ mikyi wɔn! Ɛno nti na wɔka se, ‘Anifuraefo ne mpakye’ renkɔ ahemfi” no.
9 UDavida wasehlala enqabeni waseyibiza ngokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida. Wakha enhlangothini zonke zayo kusukela emadundulwini ayelapho kusiya phakathi.
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nʼatenae wɔ abandennen na ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid Kuropɔn no mu. Osisii bammɔ adan bebree twaa kurow no ho kaa ho. Wofii dwumadi no ase wɔ Milo de baa mu.
10 Waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla wayelaye.
Na Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ kɛse adekyee biara, efisɛ na Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn ka ne ho.
11 Ngalesosikhathi uHiramu inkosi yaseThire wathuma izithunywa kuDavida zilezigodo zemisedari lababazi bamapulanka kanye lababazi bamatshe, bakhela uDavida isigodlo.
Afei, Tirohene Huram somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn a nnua dwumfo ne abo adansifo ka wɔn ho sɛ wonkosi ahemfi mma no. Huram de sida nnua bebree kɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔmpae.
12 UDavida wakwazi ukuthi uThixo wayembekile ukuba abe yinkosi yako-Israyeli wawuphakamisa lombuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.
Na Dawid huu sɛ, ne nkurɔfo Israelfo nti, Awurade asi no hene, na wayɛ nʼaheman kɛse.
13 Esesukile eHebhroni uDavida wathatha abanye abafazi beceleni kanye labafazi eJerusalema, kwazalwa amanye amadodana lamadodakazi futhi.
Dawid tu fi Hebron baa Yerusalem no, ɔwaree mmea bebree, faa mpenanom nso. Ɛno nti, ɔwoo mmabarima ne mmabea bebree.
14 Nanka amabizo abantwana abazalelwa khona: uShamuwa, uShobabi, uNathani, uSolomoni,
Eyinom ne Dawid mmabarima a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo
15 u-Ibhari, u-Elishuwa, uNefegi, uJafiya,
Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia
16 u-Elishama, u-Eliyada kanye lo-Elifelethi.
Elisama, Eliada ne Elifelet.
17 Kwathi amaFilistiya esezwe ukuthi uDavida wayegcotshwe ukuba yinkosi yako-Israyeli wonke aphuma ehlome ephelele esiyamdinga, kodwa uDavida wakuzwa lokho wasesehlela enqabeni.
Bere a Filistifo tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid, de no asi Israelhene no, wɔboaboaa wɔn asraafo ano, kɔhwehwɛɛ Dawid sɛ wobenya no akyere no. Na Dawid tee no, ɔno nso kɔɔ ne ban mu.
18 AmaFilistiya ayesefikile njalo esegcwele eSigodini saseRefayi,
Afei, Filistifo no beduu Refaim bon mu, na wɔtrɛtrɛw wɔn ho mu wɔ hɔ.
19 ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo wathi, “Ngingayawahlasela amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela kimi na?” UThixo wamphendula wathi, “Hamba, ngoba impela amaFilistiya ngizawanikela kuwe.”
Enti Dawid bisaa Awurade se, “Menkɔtow nhyɛ Filistifo yi so ana? Wobɛdan wɔn ahyɛ me nsa ana?” Awurade buaa no se, “Yiw, kɔ na mɛdan Filistifo no ahyɛ wo nsa.”
20 Ngakho uDavida waya eBhali Pherazimi, lapho awehlula khona. Wathi, “Njengamanzi efohla, uThixo ufohlele ezitheni zami phambi kwami.” Ngakho leyondawo yasibizwa ngokuthi yiBhali Pherazimi.
Enti Dawid kɔɔ Baal-Perasim, na ɛhɔ na odii Filistifo no so nkonim. Ɔkae se, “Awurade ayɛ! Ɔbɔ wuraa mʼatamfo no mu sɛ nsuyiri a ɛworo so!” Enti Dawid too beae hɔ din se Baal-Perasim.
21 AmaFilistiya abaleka atshiya izithombe zawo khonapho, uDavida labantu bakhe bazithatha bahamba lazo.
Filistifo no gyaw wɔn ahoni wɔ hɔ, maa Dawid ne ne mmarima no soaa ne nyinaa kɔe.
22 AmaFilistiya aphinda njalo abuya, agcwala eSigodini saseRefayi;
Filistifo no san baa bio bɛtrɛtrɛw wɔn ho mu wɔ Refaim bon ho,
23 ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo, yena waphendula wathi, “Ungayi uqondile, kodwa bhoda ngemva kwawo uwahlasele maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu.
enti Dawid bisaa Awurade nea ɔnyɛ. Awurade buae se, “Nkɔ tee, mmom, twa fa wɔn ho wɔ wɔn akyi, na tow hyɛ wɔn so wɔ baka nnua no anim.
24 Kuzakuthi lapho usizwa izisinde zabahambayo ezihlahleni zebhalisamu, uqhubeke ngokuphangisa, ngoba lokho kuzakutsho ukuthi uThixo usehambe phambi kwakho ukuyahlasela amabutho amaFilistiya.”
Na sɛ wote nnyigyei te sɛ nsrabɔ bi wɔ baka nnua no atifi a, bɔ toa wɔn! Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade atu di wʼanim rekokunkum Filistifo no.”
25 Ngakho uDavida wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo, njalo amaFilistiya wawacakazela phansi umango wonke kusukela eGibhiyoni kusiya eGezeri.
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nea Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no, na ɔsɛee Filistifo no fi Geba de kosii Geser.
