1 Beresosɛm 19
1 Eyinom akyi no, Amonhene Nahas wui, na ne babarima Hanun bedii ade.
Forsothe it bifelde, that Naas, kyng of the sones of Amon, diede, and his sone regnyde for him.
2 Dawid susuw ho se, “Mɛda ayamye adi akyerɛ Nahas ba Hanun, efisɛ nʼagya daa ayamye adi kyerɛɛ me.” Ɛno nti, Dawid tuu abɔfo ma wɔkɔɔ Hanun nkyɛn, kɔmaa no hyɛden wɔ nʼagya wu no ho. Bere a abɔfo no duu Amon asase so no,
And Dauid seide, Y schal do mercy with Anoon, the sone of Naas; for his fadir yaf merci to me. And Dauid sente messageris, to coumforte hym on the deeth of his fadir. And whanne thei weren comen in to the lond of the sones of Amon,
3 Hanun asahene bisaa no se, “Enti wugye di ampa ara sɛ, saa mmarima yi baa sɛ wɔrebɛhyɛ wʼagya anuonyam? Dabi! Dawid asoma wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛsra asase yi, na wɔnam so ako agye.”
for to coumforte Anon, the princes of the sones of Amon seiden to Anon, In hap thou gessist, that Dauid for cause of onour in to thi fadir sente men, that schulden coumforte thee; and thou perseyuest not, that hise seruauntis ben comen to thee to aspie, and enquere, and seche thi lond.
4 Enti Hanun kyeree Dawid abɔfo no, yii wɔn abogyesɛ, twitwaa wɔn ntade ano wɔ wɔn to ase, ma wɔsan kɔe.
Therfor Anoon made ballid and schauyde the children of Dauid, and kittide the cootis of hem fro the buttokis of hem til to the feet; and lefte hem.
5 Bere a Dawid tee asɛm no, otuu abɔfo kɔɔ asomafo no nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Montena Yeriko mma mo abogyesɛ no mfuw ansa na moaba.” Efisɛ na wɔn ho ayɛ fɛre yiye.
And whanne thei hadden go, and hadden sent this to Dauid, he sente in to the meting of hem; for thei hadden suffrid greet dispit; and he comaundide, that thei schulden dwelle in Gerico, til her berde wexide, and thanne thei schulden turne ayen.
6 Afei, Amonfo huu abufuwtraso a wɔahyɛ Dawid no, Hanun ne Amonfo soma ma wɔde dwetɛ nkaribo ani tɔn aduasa awotwe kogyee nteaseɛnam ne asraafodɔm fii Aram-naharaim, Aram-maaka ne Soba.
Forsothe the sones of Amon sien, that thei hadden do wrong to Dauid, bothe Anoon and the tother puple, and thei senten a thousynde talentis of siluer, for to hire to hem charis and horsmen of Mesopotanye and Sirie, of Maacha and of Soba;
7 Wɔsan pɛɛ nteaseɛnam mpem aduasa abien, na wonyaa akyigyina fii Maakahene ne nʼakofo nkyɛn. Saa asraafodɔm yi kyeree nsraban wɔ Medeba, ɛhɔ na Amon asraafodɔm a Hanun nya fii nʼankasa nkurow so no kɔkaa wɔn ho.
and thei hiriden to hem two and thretti thousynde of charis, and the kyng of Maacha with his puple. And whanne thei weren comen, thei settiden tentis euene ayens Medaba; and the sones of Amon weren gaderid fro her citees, and camen to batel.
8 Bere a Dawid tee saa no, ɔsomaa Yoab ne nʼakofo sɛ wɔne wɔn nkɔko.
And whanne Dauid `hadde herd this, he sente Joab, and al the oost of stronge men.
9 Amonfo asraafo no begyinagyinaa kuropɔn no pon ano, na ahemfo a wɔaka no nso gyinagyinaa sare no so.
And the sones of Amon yeden out, and dressiden scheltrun bisidis the yate of the citee; but the kyngis, that weren comen to helpe, stoden asidis half in the feeld.
10 Bere a Yoab huu sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔko ha ne ha no, ɔpaw nʼakofodɔm no mu akofo a wonim ako yiye no. Ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ nʼankasa ase, dii wɔn anim kɔko tiaa Aramfo no a wogyinagyina sare so no.
Therfor Joab vndurstood, that batel was maad ayens hym `euene ayens and bihynde the bak, and he chees the strongeste men of al Israel, and yede ayens Sirus;
11 Ogyaw asraafodɔm a wɔaka no maa ne nuabarima Abisai sɛ ɔnkɔtow nhyɛ Amonfo no so.
sotheli he yaf the residue part of the puple vnder the hond of Abisai, his brother; and thei yeden ayens the sones of Amon.
12 Na Yoab ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarima no se, “Sɛ Aramfo no yɛ den ma me dodo a, bra na bɛboa me.” Yoab toaa so se, “Sɛ Amonfo no yɛ den dodo ma wo a, mɛba abɛboa wo.
And Joab seide, If Sirus schal ouercome me, thou schalt helpe me; sotheli if the sones of Amon schulen ouercome thee, Y schal helpe thee; be thou coumfortid,
13 Hyɛ wo ho den. Ma yɛmfa akokoduru nko nnye yɛn nkurɔfo ne yɛn Onyankopɔn nkurow. Awurade bɛyɛ nea eye wɔ nʼani so.”
and do we manli for oure puple, and for the citees of oure God; forsothe the Lord do that, that is good in his siyt.
14 Bere a Yoab ne nʼakofo no tow hyɛɛ Aramfo no so no, wofii ase guanee.
Therfor Joab yede, and the puple that was with hym, ayens Sirus to batel, and he droof hem awei.
15 Na Amonfo huu sɛ Aramfo no reguan no, woguan fi Abisai anim kɔɔ kuropɔn no mu. Afei, Yoab san kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Sotheli the sones of Amon sien, that Sirus hadde fled, and thei fledden fro Abisay, his brother, and entriden in to the citee; and Joab turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.
16 Aramfo no huu sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn afɛ ne Israelfo no nti, wɔfrɛɛ Aram asraafodɔm foforo fii Asubɔnten Eufrate ho sɛ wɔmmɛboa. Saa asraafodɔm a wɔhyɛ Sofak a ɔyɛ Hadadeser asraafodɔm nyinaa so sahene ase no bae.
Forsothe Sirus siy, that he felde doun bifor Israel, and he sente messageris, and brouyte Sirus, that was biyende the flood; sotheli Sophath, the prynce of chyualrie of Adadezer, was the duyk of hem.
17 Bere a Dawid tee asɛm a asi no, ɔboaboaa Israel nyinaa ano, de wɔn twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, de nʼakofo no gyinagyinaa wɔn mpasua so. Afei, ɔne atamfo no de ɔko hyehyɛɛ so, ma wɔko tiaa no.
And whanne this was teld to Dauid, he gaderide al Israel, and passide Jordan; and he felde in on hem, and dresside scheltrun euene ayens hem, fiytynge ayenward.
18 Ɛha nso, Aramfo no guan fii Israelfo no anim, na Dawid asraafo no kunkum nteaseɛnamkafo mpem ason ne anammɔnmufo asraafo mpem aduanan a Sofak a ɔyɛ wɔn so sahene no ka ho.
`Forsothe Sirus fledde fro Israel, and Dauid killide of men of Sirie seuene thousynde of charis, and fourti thousynde of foot men, and Sophath, the prince of the oost.
19 Hadadeser asomfo huu sɛ Israel adi wɔn so nkonim no, wɔmaa wɔn nsa so, maa Dawid faa wɔn sɛ ne nkoa. Ɛno akyi no, Aramfo ampɛ sɛ wɔbɛboa Amonfo bio.
Sotheli the seruauntis of Adadezer siyen, that thei weren ouercomun of Israel, and thei fledden ouer to Dauid, and seruiden hym; and Sirie wolde no more yyue helpe to the sones of Amon.
