1 UDavida wasesuka lapho, waphephela ebhalwini lweAdulamu. Lapho abafowabo lendlu yonke kayise bekuzwa lokho, behlela kuye lapho.
Dawid guan fii Gat kɔtɛw ɔbodan a ɛwɔ Adulam no mu. Ankyɛ biara na ne nuanom mmarima ne ne fifo bi kɔkaa ne ho wɔ hɔ.
2 Kwasekubuthana kuye wonke umuntu ocindezelweyo, laye wonke umuntu owayelesikwelede, laye wonke umuntu owayebuhlungu emphefumulweni, wasesiba yinduna phezu kwabo, kwaze kwaba laye phose abantu abangamakhulu amane.
Afoforo bi nso kɔkaa ne ho wɔ hɔ. Na saa nnipa no yɛ nnipa a ɔhaw da wɔn so anaa wɔn a wɔdede aka ne wɔn a asetena nkɔ wɔn yiye. Wɔbae ara kosii sɛ Dawid bɛyɛɛ ɔkannifo maa nnipa bɛyɛ sɛ ahannan.
3 UDavida wasesuka lapho waya eMizipa yakoMowabi, wathi enkosini yakoMowabi: Ngiyacela ukuthi ubaba lomama baphume lani, ngize ngazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzangenzelani.
Akyiri no, Dawid kɔɔ Mispe a ɛwɔ Moab kobisaa Moabhene se, “Wobɛma mʼagya ne me na abɛtena wo nkyɛn kosi sɛ mehu nea Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ ama me ana?”
4 Wasebaletha phambi kwenkosi yakoMowabi, basebehlala layo insuku zonke uDavida esenqabeni.
Ɔhene no penee so maa Dawid awofo tenaa Moab mmere dodow a na Dawid te ne hintabea hɔ.
5 Umprofethi uGadi wasesithi kuDavida: Ungahlali enqabeni; hamba wena ngena elizweni lakoJuda. UDavida wasehamba wangena eguswini leHerethi.
Nanso odiyifo Gad ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Ntena hintabea hɔ. Kɔ Yuda asase so.” Enti Dawid kɔɔ Heret kwae mu.
6 USawuli wasesizwa ukuthi uDavida uyaziwa labantu ababelaye. USawuli wayehlezi eGibeya ngaphansi kwesihlahla setamarisiki eRama, elomkhonto esandleni sakhe, lazo zonke inceku zakhe zazimi laye.
Afei Saulo tee sɛ wɔahu Dawid ne ne nkurɔfo. Saa bere no, na ɔhene no te nnyedua bi ase wɔ Gibea bepɔw so a okura ne peaw na ne mpanyimfo atwa ne ho ahyia.
7 USawuli wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe ezazimi laye: Ake lizwe, bakoBhenjamini: Kambe indodana kaJese izalinika lonke amasimu lezivini, ilibeke lonke libe zinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu,
Osee wɔn sɛ, “Muntie, Benyamin mmarima! Dawid ahyɛ mo mfuw ne bobe nturo ho bɔ bi ana? Wahyɛ mo bɔ sɛ mobɛyɛ nʼasafohene wɔ nʼakofo so ana?
8 ngokuthi lonke lingenzele ugobe, njalo kakho owembule endlebeni yami ukuthi indodana yami yenza isivumelwano lendodana kaJese; kakho loyedwa kini ongizwelayo, lowembula endlebeni yami, ukuthi indodana yami ingivusela inceku yami ukuthi icathame njengalamuhla?
Ɛno nti na mo nyinaa abɔ pɔw atia me yi? Na amfa mo mu biara ho sɛ morenka biribi nkyerɛ me se me ara me babarima wɔ Dawid afa. Munnwen ho! Me ara me babarima hyɛ mʼakoa nkuran sɛ ɔnkɔtɛw me mpɛ me nkum me!”
9 Kwasekuphendula uDowegi umEdoma owayemi lenceku zikaSawuli, wathi: Ngayibona indodana kaJese isiza eNobi kuAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi.
Ɛhɔ na Edomni Doeg a na ɔne Saulo akofo gyina hɔ no kae se, “Mihuu Yisai ba no sɛ ɔbae Ahitub ba Ahimelek nkyɛn wɔ Nob.
10 Wasembuzela eNkosini, wamnika umphako, lenkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti wamnika yona.
Ahimelek bisaa Awurade nea Dawid nyɛ. Ɔsan maa no nnuan, na ɔde Filistini Goliat afoa no kaa ho maa no.”
11 Inkosi uSawuli yasithuma ukubiza uAhimeleki umpristi, indodana kaAhitubi, lendlu yonke kayise, abapristi ababeseNobi; bonke basebesiza enkosini.
Ɔhene no somaa sɛ wɔnkɔfa ɔsɔfo Ahimelek ne ne fifo a na wɔyɛ asɔfo wɔ Nob no nyinaa mmra.
12 USawuli wasesithi: Ake ulalele, ndodana kaAhitubi. Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, nkosi yami.
Wɔbae no, Saulo kae se, “Tie! Ahitub ba.” Obuae se, “Nana asɛm bɛn.”
13 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Kungani lingenzela ugobe, wena lendodana kaJese, njengoba wayinika isinkwa lenkemba, wayibuzela kuNkulunkulu, ukuthi ingivukele icathame njengalamuhla?
Na Saulo bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne Dawid apam me ti so, na womaa no brodo ne afoa, san bisaa Awurade maa no. Adɛn nti na wohyɛ no nkuran sɛ ɔnyɛ adɔm ntia me na ɔmmɛtow nhyɛ me so wɔ ha?”
14 UAhimeleki waseyiphendula inkosi wathi: Pho, ngubani kuzo zonke inceku zakho othembekileyo njengoDavida, ongumkhwenyana wenkosi, oqhubeka ekukulaleleni, lohloniphekayo endlini yakho?
Ahimelek buae se, “Nana, mesrɛ mibisa sɛ, wʼasomfo yi nyinaa mu no, obi wɔ hɔ a ɔyɛ nokwafo te sɛ wʼase Dawid ana? Hwɛ ɔyɛ wʼawɛmfo nyinaa so safohene, na wobu no yiye wɔ wo fidua mu.
15 Ngiyaqalisa lamuhla yini ukumbuzela kuNkulunkulu? Kakube khatshana lami! Inkosi kayingabeki udaba encekwini yayo lendlini yonke kababa; ngoba inceku yakho yayingazi lutho ngaloludaba, oluncinyane kumbe olukhulu.
Ɛnyɛ saa da no ne da a edi kan a mabisa Awurade ama no. Dabi da! Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de sobo bɔ ne somfo ne ne fifo, efisɛ wʼakoa nnim saa asɛm yi ho biribiara.”
16 Inkosi yasisithi: Ahimeleki, uzakufa lokufa, wena lendlu yonke kayihlo.
Na ɔhene kae se, “Ɔkwan biara so, wubewu. Ahimelek, wo ne wo fifo nyinaa bewuwu.”
17 Inkosi yasisithi kuzigijimi ezazimi layo: Phendukani, libulale abapristi beNkosi; ngoba isandla sabo laso siloDavida, futhi ngoba babesazi ukuthi ubalekile, kodwa kabembulanga endlebeni yami. Kodwa inceku zenkosi kazithandanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuthi zihlasele abapristi beNkosi.
Na ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ nʼawɛmfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no se, “Munkunkum Awurade asɔfo no nyinaa, efisɛ wɔn nso akɔ Dawid afa. Na wonim sɛ ɔreguan, nanso wɔanka ankyerɛ me.” Nanso na ɔhene asraafo no mpɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka Awurade asɔfo no.
18 Inkosi yasisithi kuDowegi: Phenduka wena, uhlasele abapristi. UDowegi umEdoma wasephenduka, yena wahlasela abapristi, wabulala ngalolosuku abantu abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu ababegqoke i-efodi yelembu elicolekileyo.
Enti ɔhene hyɛɛ Doeg se, “Dan wo ho na kunkum asɔfo no.” Enti Edomni Doeg dan ne ho kunkum wɔn. Da no, okum mmarima a na wɔhyɛ sirikyi asɔfotade aduɔwɔtwe anum.
19 LeNobi, umuzi wabapristi, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, kusukela endodeni kusiya kowesifazana, kusukela emntwaneni kusiya komunyayo, lezinkabi labobabhemi lezimvu, ngobukhali benkemba.
Afei, ɔkɔɔ Nob a ɛyɛ asɔfo no kurom, kokunkum asɔfo no fifo mmarima, mmea, mmofra ne nkokoaa, anantwi, mfurum ne nguan nyinaa.
20 Kodwa omunye wamadodana kaAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi waphepha, obizo lakhe lalinguAbhiyatha, wabaleka walandela uDavida.
Na Ahitub ba Ahimelek babarima baako a wɔfrɛ no Abiatar guan kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn.
21 UAbhiyatha wasetshela uDavida ukuthi uSawuli ubulele abapristi beNkosi.
Bere a ɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ Saulo akunkum Awurade asɔfo no,
22 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha: Ngakwazi ngalolosuku lapho uDowegi umEdoma elapho ukuthi uzamtshela lokumtshela uSawuli. Yimi engibangele ukufa kwawo wonke umphefumulo wendlu kayihlo.
Dawid teɛɛ mu se, “Na minim! Bere a mihuu Doeg wɔ hɔ saa da no, na minim sɛ ɔbɛka akyerɛ Saulo. Mprempren, mama wʼagya fifo nyinaa awuwu.
23 Hlala lami, ungesabi, ngoba lowo odinga umphefumulo wami udinga umphefumulo wakho; kodwa uzalondolozeka ulami.
Wo ne me ntena ha, na mede me nkwa bɛbɔ wo ho ban, efisɛ onipa koro no ara na ɔrehwehwɛ yɛn baanu akum yɛn.”
