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 Laba yibo abachapha iJordani ngenyanga yokuqala lapho yayigcwele iphuphuma inkumbi zonke zayo, baxotsha bonke ababesezigodini ngempumalanga langentshonalanga.
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 Basebefika bevela ebantwaneni bakoBhenjamini labakoJuda enqabeni kuDavida.
Afoforo a wofi Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ hintabea hɔ.
17 UDavida wasephuma ukubahlangabeza, waphendula wathi kibo: Uba lisiza kimi ngokuthula ukungisiza, ngilenhliziyo ehlangene lani; kodwa uba kuyikunginikela ngenkohliso ezitheni zami, kungelabubi ezandleni zami, uNkulunkulu wabobaba kakubone, ajezise.
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 UMoya wasesehlela kuAmasayi inhloko yezinduna, wasesithi: Singabakho, Davida, silawe, ndodana kaJese! Ukuthula, ukuthula kube kuwe, lokuthula kube kubasizi bakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusiza! UDavida wasebemukela, wabenza induna zeviyo.
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 Abavela koManase bahlamukela kuDavida ekufikeni kwakhe lamaFilisti emelene loSawuli empini. Kodwa kababasizanga, ngoba ababusi bamaFilisti bamxotsha ngecebo besithi: Ngamakhanda ethu uzahlamukela 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 Ekuyeni kwakhe eZikilagi kwabalekela kuye abavela koManase: OAdina loJozabadi loJediyayeli loMikhayeli loJozabadi loElihu loZilethayi, inhloko zezinkulungwane ababengabakoManase.

21 Bona basebesiza kanye loDavida bemelene leviyo elihlaselayo, ngoba bonke babengamaqhawe alamandla, bezinduna ebuthweni.
Wɔboaa Dawid ma ɔtaa afowfo no, efisɛ na wɔyɛ akokodurufo ne akofo akɛse a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakofo mu.
