1 Beresosɛm 11

1 Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo.

UIsrayeli wonke wasebuthana kuDavida eHebroni esithi: Khangela, thina silithambo lakho lenyama yakho.

2 Mmere tenten bi a atwa mu, mpo bere a Saulo di yɛn so hene no, na wone obi a nokware na wudi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo ama me nkurɔfo Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifo!’”

Ngitsho mandulo, ngitsho uSawuli eyinkosi, nguwe owakhupha lowangenisa uIsrayeli; iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yasisithi kuwe: Wena uzakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli, njalo wena uzakuba ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.

3 Enti Hebron hɔ, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛnea Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.

Kwasekufika bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli enkosini eHebroni. UDavida wasesenza isivumelwano labo eHebroni phambi kweNkosi. Basebemgcoba uDavida ukuba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, njengelizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaSamuweli.

4 Na Dawid ne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem anaa Yebus, sɛnea na wɔfrɛ hɔ kan no, efisɛ Yebusifo na wɔkɔtenaa asase no so kan kyekyeree.

UDavida loIsrayeli wonke basebesiya eJerusalema, eyiJebusi, ngoba lapho kwakulamaJebusi, abahlali balelolizwe.

5 Nnipa a wofi Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Worentumi mma ha da biara da.” Nanso Dawid faa aban a na ɛwɔ Sion a wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kurow no.

Abahlali beJebusi basebesithi kuDavida: Kawuyikungena lapha. Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yeZiyoni, engumuzi kaDavida.

6 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ nʼakofo no se, “Mo mu biara a obedi anim na yɛakɔtow ahyɛ Yebusifo no so no na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakofo so sahene.” Na Dawid, nuabea Seruia babarima Yoab dii ɔko no anim, nti ɔbɛyɛɛ Dawid asraafo so sahene.

UDavida wasesithi: Loba ngubani ozatshaya amaJebusi kuqala uzakuba yinhloko lenduna. Ngakho uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wenyuka kuqala, waba yinhloko.

7 Dawid tenaa aban no mu, na ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid kurow no.

UDavida wasehlala enqabeni; ngalokho-ke bayibiza ngokuthi ngumuzi kaDavida.

8 Dawid kyekyeree kurow no, trɛw mu fi Milo de twaa ho hyiae, bere a na Yoab nso rekyekyere Yerusalem nkae no.

Wasewakha umuzi inhlangothi zonke, kusukela eMilo waze wawuhlanganisa. UJowabi wasevuselela okuseleyo komuzi.

9 Na Dawid tumi yɛɛ kɛse, efisɛ na Asafo Awurade ka ne ho.

UDavida wasesiya eqhubeka esiba mkhulu, ngoba iNkosi yamabandla yayilaye.

10 Eyinom ne Dawid dɔmmarima ntuanofo. Wɔne Israel nyinaa bɔɔ mu, sii gyinae sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn so hene sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ bɔ afa Israel ho no.

Lalezi zinhloko zamaqhawe uDavida ayelazo, ezaziqinisa kanye laye embusweni wakhe, loIsrayeli wonke, ukumenza inkosi, njengelizwi leNkosi mayelana loIsrayeli.

11 Dawid dɔmmarima no ho nsɛm ni: Nea odi kan no ne Yasobeam a ɔyɛ Hakmonini a na ɔda Baasa no ano sɛ ɔsahene—Baasa no yɛ dɔmmarima akatakyi a na wɔwɔ Dawid asraafo mu. Bere bi ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo ahaasa wɔ akodi baako mu.

Laleli linani lamaqhawe uDavida ayelawo: UJashobeyamu indodana yomHakimoni inhloko yamatshumi amathathu; yena waphakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu, wababulala ngasikhathi sinye.

12 Nea ɔto so abien wɔ Baasa no mu no yɛ Dodo babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni.

Lemva kwakhe kwakuloEleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi; wayephakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.

13 Bere a Dawid sɔre tiaa Filistifo wɔ Pas-Damim no, na ɔka ne ho. Ɔko no sii wɔ baabi a na ɛyɛ atokofuw nko, na Israel asraafo no guanee.

Yena wayeloDavida ePasi-Damimi lapho amaFilisti ayebuthanele impi khona. Lesiqinti sensimu sasigcwele ibhali; abantu basebebaleka phambi kwamaFilisti.

14 Nanso Eleasar ne Dawid gyinaa wɔn anan so wɔ afuw no mfimfini, bɔɔ Filistifo no gui. Na Awurade ma wodii nkonim de gyee wɔn.

Bona bazimisa phakathi kwesiqinti, basikhulula, batshaya amaFilisti, iNkosi yasisindisa ngokukhulula okukhulu.

15 Da bi a Dawid wɔ ɔbotan bi a ɛbɛn Adulam ɔbodan ho no, na Filistifo asraafo akyere nsraban wɔ Refaim bon mu. Baasa no a na wɔka Aduasa no a wonim de wɔ Dawid asraafo mu no sian kohyiaa no wɔ hɔ.

Abathathu ezinduneni ezingamatshumi amathathu basebesehlela edwaleni kuDavida, ebhalwini lweAdulamu; lebutho lamaFilisti lalimise inkamba esihotsheni seRefayimi.

16 Saa bere no na Dawid te ɔko ahintawee mu hɔ a na Filistifo asraafokuw bi akɔtena Betlehem.

UDavida ngalesosikhathi wayesenqabeni, lebutho lenqaba lamaFilisti ngalesosikhathi laliseBhethelehema.

17 Dawid fi akɔnnɔ mu kae se, “Ao me kɔn dɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ abura a ɛwɔ Betlehem no bi; nea ɛbɛn ɔpon ano no bi.”

UDavida waselangatha wathi: Hawu, kungathi omunye ubenganginathisa amanzi omthombo weBhethelehema osesangweni!

18 Enti Baasa no bɔ wuraa Filistifo no mu, kɔsaw abura no mu nsu no bi de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso Dawid annom. Mmom, ohwie guu Awurade anim

Labo abathathu bafohlela enkambeni yamaFilisti, bakha amanzi emthonjeni weBhethelehema owawusesangweni, bawathwala bawaletha kuDavida; kodwa uDavida kafunanga ukuwanatha, kodwa wawathululela iNkosi.

19 teɛɛ mu se, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom saa nsu yi. Ɛsom bo sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ afɔre kɔsaw brɛɛ me no mogya.” Enti Dawid annom. Eyi yɛ Baasa no mmaninsɛm no bi nhwɛso.

Wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami, ngoNkulunkulu wami, ukwenza lokho. Nginganatha yini igazi lalamadoda abeke impilo yawo engozini? Ngoba ngokubeka impilo yawo engozini, awalethile. Ngakho kafunanga ukuwanatha. Lezizinto azenza lawomaqhawe amathathu.

20 Yoab nuabarima Abisai na na otua Aduasa no ano. Ɔko baako bi mu no, ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo no mu ahaasa. Saa mmaninsɛm yi nti na ogyee din sɛ Baasa no.

UAbishayi umfowabo kaJowabi, yena-ke wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena ephakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu wababulala; wasesiba lebizo phakathi kwabathathu.

21 Abisai na na ne din ahyeta yiye wɔ Aduasa no mu sɛ wɔn sahene, nso na ɔnka Baasa no ho.

Kwabathathu wayehlonitshwa kulababili, wasesiba yinduna yabo; kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu abokuqala.

22 Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia a ofi Kabseel no nso wɔ hɔ. Na ɔno nso di mmarimasɛm. Ɔyɛɛ bebree a emu baako ne sɛ okunkum Moab akofo akɛse baanu bi. Bere foforo bi nso, ɔtaa gyata maa aboa no kɔtɔɔ amoa mu. Na sukyerɛmma ama fam ayɛ toro nanso ɔkyeree gyata no kum no.

UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yeqhawe leKabhiseyeli, wayemkhulu ngezenzo: Nguye owatshaya abakoMowabi ababili ababenjengezilwane; futhi yena wehla wabulala isilwane phakathi komgodi mhla weliqhwa elikhithikileyo.

23 Da bi a na okura kontibaa nko ara no, okum Misraimni ɔkofo bi a na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na ne peaw no mu pipiripi te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua. Benaia huam peaw no fii Misraimni no nsam, de kum no.

Yena wasetshaya indoda engumGibhithe, umuntu omude, ozingalo ezinhlanu. Lesandleni somGibhithe kwakulomkhonto onjengogodo lomeluki; kodwa wehlela kuye ngenduku, wahluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe, wambulala ngowakhe umkhonto.

24 Eyinom na Yehoiada babarima Benaia yɛe, ma ogyee din te sɛ Baasa no.

Lezizinto wazenza uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, waba lebizo phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.

25 Wɔhyɛɛ no anuonyam sen nkae a wɔka Aduasa no ho no, nso na ɔmfra Baasa no mu. Na Dawid yɛɛ no ne ho awɛmfo no so sahene.

Khangela, wahlonitshwa phakathi kwabangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu. UDavida wasembeka phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
