1 Samuel 17
1 Afei, Filistifo boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ Soko a ɛwɔ Yuda sɛ wɔrebɛko. Wɔkyeree nsraban wɔ Soko ne Aseka ntam wɔ Efes-Damim.
Forsothe Filisteis gaderiden her cumpenyes in to batel, and camen togidere in Socoth of Juda, and settiden tentis bitwixe Socoth and Azecha, in the coostis of Domyn.
2 Saulo yɛɛ saa ara, boaboaa ne dɔm ano wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Ela bon.
Sotheli Saul and the men of Israel weren gaderid, and camen in to the valey of Terebynte, and dressiden scheltrun to fiyte ayens Filisteis.
3 Filistifo faa bepɔw baako, na Israelfo no nso faa baako a obon no da wɔn ntam.
And Filisteis stoden aboue the hil on this part, and Israel stood on the hil on the tother part of the valey, that was bitwixe hem.
4 Ɔbarima tenten hoɔdenfo bi a ne din de Goliat a ofi Gat no pue fii Filistifo no nsraban mu bae. Na ne tenten bɛboro anammɔn akron.
And a man, `sone of a widewe, whos fadir was vncerteyn, yede out of the `castels of Filisteis, Goliath bi name of Geth, of sixe cubitis heiy and a spanne; and a brasun basynet on his heed;
5 Na ɔhyɛ kɔbere kyɛw, hyɛ kɔbere akotade a akode bobɔ mu, na emu duru yɛ kilogram aduonum ason.
and he was clothid with `an haburioun hokid, ether mailid; forsothe the weiyte of his haburioun was fyue thousynde siclis of bras;
6 Na nʼanan nso, kɔbere nkatanan kata ho na kɔbere peaw nso sɛn nʼakyi.
and he hadde `bootis of bras in the hipis, and a `scheld of bras hilide hise schuldris.
7 Na ne peaw ano dade no te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua mu abaa, na ano dade no kari dwetɛ kilogram ason. Na ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
Forsothe `the schaft of his spere was as the beem of webbis; forsothe thilke yrun of his spere hadde sixe hundrid siclis of yrun; and his squier yede bifor hym.
8 Goliat begyinaa hɔ teɛɛ mu guu Israelfo no so se, “Asraafo yi nyinaa na morebɛko ana? Munyi mo mu baako na ɔmmɛko mma mo, na me nso mesi Filistifo anan mu. Yɛbɛko de awie asɛm no ka!
And he stood, and cried ayens the cumpenyes of armed men of Israel, and seide to hem, Why camen ye redi to batel? Whether Y am not a Filistei, and ye ben the seruauntis of Saul? Chese ye a man of you, and come he doun to syngulere batel;
9 Sɛ mo nipa no tumi kum me a, yɛbɛyɛ mo nkoa. Na sɛ mikum no a, mobɛyɛ yɛn nkoa.”
if he may fiyte with me, and sleeth me, we schulen be `seruauntis to you; forsothe if Y haue the maystry, and sle hym, ye schulen be boonde, and `ye schulen serue vs.
10 Filistini no kae se, “Memmfa Israel asraafo nyɛ hwee, momma me ɔbarima a ɔne me bɛko.”
And `the Filistei seide, Y haue `seyd schenschip to dai to the cumpenyes of Israel; yyue ye a man, and bigynne he `synguler batel with me.
11 Bere a Saulo ne Israelfo tee eyi no wɔbɔɔ huboa na wɔn ho popoe.
Sotheli Saul and alle men of Israel herden siche wordis of `the Filistey, and thei weren astonyed, and dredden greetli.
12 Na Dawid yɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yisai a ɔyɛ Efratni na ofi Betlehem wɔ Yuda asase so no babarima. Na Yisai wɔ mmabarima baawɔtwe, na Saulo bere so no, na wabɔ akwakoraa a ne mfe a wadi no kɔ anim yiye.
Forsothe Dauid was `the sone of a man of Effrata, of whom it is `biforseid, of Bethleem of Juda, to `which man the name was Isay, which hadde eiyte sones; and `the man was eld in the daies of Saul, and of greet age among men.
13 Na Yisai mmabarima mpanyimfo baasa na wodii Saulo akyi kɔɔ ɔko no. Na abakan no din de Eliab, nʼakyi ba din de Abinadab, na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no din de Sama.
Sotheli thre grettere sones of Ysai yeden after Saul in to batel; and the names of hise thre sones, that yeden to batel, Heliab, the firste gendryd, and the secounde, Amynadab, and the thridde, Samma.
14 Dawid de, na ɔno ne akumaa koraa. Mpanyimfo baasa no na wodii Saulo akyi,
Forsothe Dauid was the leeste. Therfor while thre grettere sueden Saul, Dauid yede,
15 nanso na Dawid di akɔneaba; ɔkɔsom Saulo na wakɔhwɛ nʼagya nguan wɔ Betlehem nso.
and turnede ayen fro Saul, that he schulde kepe the floc of his fadir in Bethleem.
16 Filistini yi pue mema ne ho so wɔ Israelfo asraafo nʼanim anɔpa ne anwummere, saa ara adaduanan.
Forsothe the Filistey cam forth in the morewtid, and euentid; and stood `bi fourti daies.
17 Da koro bi, Yisai ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Fa nkyewe lita aduonu abien yi ne brodo mua du yi kɔma wo nuabarimanom.
Sotheli Ysai seide to Dauid his sone, Take thou to thi britheren meete maad of meele, the mesure of ephi, and these ten looues, and renne thou in to the castels to thi britheren;
18 Na fa kyiisi du a wɔatwitwa yi ma ɔsafohene no. Ɛyɛ a hwɛ sɛnea wo nuabarimanom no ho te, na gye krataa fi wɔn nkyɛn brɛ me.
and thou schalt bere to the tribune these ten `litil formes of chese; and thou schalt visite thi britheren, whether thei doon riytli, and lurne thou, with whiche men thei ben ordeyned.
19 Na Dawid nuanom ne Israel asraafo no wɔ Ela bon no mu a wɔreko atia Filistifo.”
Forsothe Saul, and thei, and alle the sones of Israel in the valei of Terebynte fouyten ayens Filisteis.
20 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Dawid gyaw nguan no maa oguanhwɛfo bi na ɔfaa akyɛde no kɔe. Oduu nsraban mu hɔ bere a na asraafo no rekɔ mpasua ahorow no so. Wɔrekɔ no, na wɔreto asafonnwom reteɛteɛ mu.
Therfor Dauid roos eerli, and bitook the floc to the kepere, and he yede chargid, as Ysai `hadde comaundid to hym; and he cam to the place Magala, and to the oost, which oost yede out to the batel, and criede in `the batel.
21 Na Israel ne Filistifo no rebɛn a wodi nhwɛanim.
For Israel hadde dressid scheltrun; `but also Filisteis weren maad redi `euen ayens.
22 Dawid gyaw ne nneɛma maa akode sohwɛfo no, yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ akono hɔ kokyia ne nuanom.
Therfor Dauid lefte the vessels, whiche he hadde brouyt, vndur the hond of a kepere `at the fardels, and he ran to the place of batel, and he axyde, if alle thingis weren `doon riytli anentis hise britheren.
23 Bere a Dawid ne wɔn rekasa no, Filistini tenten hoɔdenfo Goliat a ofi Gat, fii Filistifo asraafo no mu teɛteɛɛ mu ahantan so kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no.
And whanne he spak yit to hem, thilke bastard apperide, Goliath bi name, a Filistei of Geth, and stiede fro the castels of Filisteis; and `while he spak these same wordis, Dauid herde.
24 Bere a Israelfo no huu ɔbarima no, wɔn nyinaa de ehu guan kɔe.
And whanne alle men of Israel hadden seyn `the man, thei fledden fro his face, and dredden hym greetli.
25 Afei, na Israelfo keka wɔ wɔn mu se, “Woahu ɔbran no? Ɔba bɛkasa tia Israel da biara. Na woate akatua a ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde bɛma obiara a obetumi akum no no? Ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde ne babea bɛma no aware, na ne fifo nso, ɔhene remma wontua tow biara a wogye no Israelman mu.”
And ech man of Israel seide, Whether thou hast seyn this man that stiede? for he stiede to seie schenship to Israel; therfor the kyng schal make riche with greet richessis `the man that sleeth thilke Filistei; and the kyng schal yyue his douyter to that man, and schal make the hows of his fader with out `tribut in Israel.
26 Dawid bisaa mmarima a wogyina ne ho no se, “Dɛn na mobɛyɛ ama ɔbarima a obekum saa Filistini yi, na ɔnam so ayi saa animguase yi afi Israel so? Hena ne saa Filistini bosonsomni yi a ɛsɛ sɛ ogu Onyankopɔn Teasefo asraafo anim ase?”
And Dauyd spak to the men that stoden with hym, and seide, What schal be youun to the man that sleeth this Filistei, and doith awei schenschip fro Israel? for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that dispiside the scheltruns of God lyuynge?
27 Wotii asɛm a wɔaka dedaw no mu kyerɛɛ no se, “Nea woate dedaw no yɛ nokware. Ɛno na yɛbɛyɛ ama onipa a obekum ɔbran no.”
Forsothe the puple tolde to hym the same word, and seide, These thingis schulen be youun to the man that sleeth hym.
28 Bere a Dawid nuapanyin Eliab tee sɛ ɔne mmarima no rekasa saa no, ne bo fuw no, na obisae se, “Adɛn nti na woaba ha? Na nguan kakra a wɔwɔ sare so no, wode wɔn gyaw hena? Minim sɛnea wogye wo ho di ne sɛnea wo komapirim te. Ɔko yi hwɛ ara nti na wobae.”
And whanne Heliab, `his more brother, had herd this, while he spak with othere men, he was wrooth ayens Dauid, and seide, Whi camest thou, and whi `leftist thou tho fewe scheep in deseert? Y knowe thi pride, and the wewardnesse of thin herte; for thou camest doun to se the batel.
29 Dawid bisae se, “Mayɛ dɛn? Nti, ɛnsɛ sɛ mekasa mpo?”
And Dauid seide, What haue Y do? Whether it is not a word?
30 Afei, ɔdan ne ho ne afoforo kɔkasae. Ɔde asɛm koro no ara bae, na mmarima no buaa no sɛnea wɔaka dedaw no.
And Dauid bowide a litil fro hym to another man; and Dauid seide the same word, and the puple answeride to hym al word as bifore.
31 Asɛm a Dawid kaa no twaa nnipa bi asom, ma wɔkɔbɔɔ Saulo amanneɛ, enti ɔsoma kɔfrɛɛ no.
Forsothe these wordis weren herd, whiche Dauid spak, and weren teld `in the siyt of Saul.
32 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Mma hwee nhaw wo. Mɛkɔ na me ne Filistini yi akɔko.”
And whanne Dauyd was brouyt to Saul, Dauyd spak to hym, The herte of ony man falle not doun for `that Filistei, Y thi seruaunt schal go, and `Y schal fiyte ayens the Filistei.
33 Saulo buaa Dawid se, “Worentumi ne saa Filistini yi nko. Woyɛ abarimaa, nanso ɔno de, ɔyɛ ɔkofo fi ne mmofraase.”
And Saul seide to Dauid, Thou maist not ayenstonde this Filistei, nether fiyte ayens hym, for thou art a child; forsothe this man is a werriour fro his yong wexynge age.
34 Na Dawid ka tii mu se, “Mahwɛ mʼagya nguan ara, na sɛ gyata anaa sisi bi ba sɛ ɔrebɛkyere oguan ba bi afi nguankuw no mu a,
And Dauid seide to Saul, Thi seruaunt kepte `the floc of his fadir, and a lioun cam, ether a bere, and took awei a ram fro the myddis of the floc;
35 mede abaa poriwa di nʼakyi gye aboa no fi nʼanom. Na sɛ aboa no dan nʼani ba me hɔ a, miso nʼabogye, kyere no, de abaa poriwa no bɔ no, kum no.
Y pursuede, and killide hem, and rauyschide fro `the mouth of hem; and thei risiden ayens me, and I took the nether chaule `of hem, and Y stranglide, and killide hem.
36 Mayɛ saa akum gyata ne sisi, na saa na mɛyɛ Filistini bosonsomni no nso, efisɛ wagu Onyankopɔn Teasefo asraafo ho fi.
For Y thi seruaunt killide bothe a lioun and a bere; therfor and this Filistei vncircumcidid schal be as oon of hem. Now Y schal go, and Y schal do awey the schenschip of the puple; for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that was hardi to curse the oost of God lyuynge?
37 Awurade a ogyee me fii gyata ne sisi awerɛw ano no, ɔno ara na obegye me afi Filistini yi nsam.” Saulo penee so kae se, “Eye, kɔ. Awurade nka wo ho.”
And Dauid seide, The Lord that delyuerede me fro the `mouth of the lioun, and fro the `hond, that is, power, of the bere, he schal delyuere me fro the hond of this Filistei. Forsothe Saul seide to Dauid, Go thou, and the Lord be with thee.
38 Afei, Saulo de ɔno ankasa akode maa Dawid. Ɔde kɔbere kyɛw ne akotade kaa ho.
And Saul clothide Dauid with hise clothis, and puttide a brasun basynet on his heed, and clothide hym with an haburioun.
39 Dawid hyɛe, de afoa kyekyere taree so, tuu anammɔn bɛyɛ abien, kɔɔ nʼanim hwɛɛ sɛnea ɛte, efisɛ na ɔnhyɛɛ biribi a ɛte saa da. Afei, ɔkae se, “Merentumi mfa eyinom nhyehyɛ me ho nkɔ, efisɛ menhyɛɛ bi saa da.” Enti ɔworɔw ne nyinaa guu hɔ.
Therfor Dauid was gird with his swerd on his cloth, and bigan to asaie if he myyte go armed; for he hadde not custom. And Dauid seide to Saul, Y may not go so, for Y haue not vss. And Dauid puttide awei tho,
40 Ɔfaa kokwabo anum fii asuwa bi mu, de guu ne nguanhwɛfo kotoku mu. Ɔfaa ne nguanhwɛfo pema ne nʼahwimmo nko ara. Afei, osii kwan so sɛ ɔne Goliat rekɔko.
and he took his staaf, which he hadde euere in the hondis. And he chees to hym fyue clereste stonys, that is, harde, pleyn, and rounde, of the stronde; and he sente tho in to the schepherdis scrippe, which he hadde with hym; and he took the slynge in the hond, and yede forth ayens the Filistei.
41 Goliat twiw pinii Dawid a ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
Sotheli the Filistei yede, `goynge and neiyyng ayens Dauid; and his squyer yede bifor hym.
42 Goliat huu Dawid no, obuu no abomfiaa.
And whanne `the Filistei hadde biholde Dauid, and hadde seyn hym, he dispiside Dauid; forsothe Dauid was a yong wexynge man, rodi, and feir in siyt.
43 Ɔworoo so kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Meyɛ ɔkraman na wode pema aba me so?” Na ɔkaa nʼanyame din ntam de domee Dawid.
And `the Filistei, seide to Dauid, Whether Y am a dogge, for thou comest to me with a staf? And `the Filistei curside Dauid in hise goddis; and he seide to Dauid,
44 Goliat kae se, “Bra mʼanim ha, na mede wo nam bɛma nnomaa ne nkekaboa.”
Come thou to me, and Y schal yyue thi fleischis to the `volatilis of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe.
45 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Filistini no se, “Wode afoa, peaw ne bɛmma na ɛreba me so, na me de, mede Asafo Awurade, Israel asraafo Nyankopɔn a woagu ne din ho fi no din na mede reba wo so.
Sotheli Dauid seide to `the Filistei, Thou comest to me with swerd, and spere, and scheeld; but Y come to thee in the name of the Lord God of oostis, of God of the cumpanyes of Israel, to whiche thou seidist schenschip to dai.
46 Nnɛ, Awurade bedi wo so nkonim, na mekum wo, atwa wo ti. Na mede Filistifo asraafo no afunu mama nnomaa ne nkekaboa, na wiase nyinaa behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn bi wɔ Israel!
And the Lord schal yyue thee in myn hond, and Y schal sle thee, and Y schal take awey thin heed fro thee; and I schal yyue the deed bodies of the castels of Filisteis `to day to the volatils of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe; that al the erthe wite, that the Lord God is in Israel,
47 Na obiara behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn mfa akode na egye ne nkurɔfo. Ɛyɛ ne ko, na ɛnyɛ yɛn ko. Awurade de wo bɛma yɛn!”
and that al this chirche knowe, that the Lord saueth not in swerd nether in spere; for the batel is his, and he schal bitake you in to oure hondis.
48 Goliat yɛɛ sɛ ɔreba Dawid so no, ntɛm ara, na Dawid nso tuu mmirika kohyiaa no.
Therfor whanne the Filistei hadde rise, and cam, and neiyede ayens Dauid, Dauid hastide, and ran to batel ayens `the Filistei.
49 Ɔde ne nsa hyɛɛ nguanhwɛfo kotoku no mu, yii kokwabo baako de hyɛɛ nʼahwimmo no mu tow ma ɛkɔbɔɔ Filistini no moma so. Kokwabo no wuraa Goliat tirim ma obu hwee, maa nʼanim kobutuw fam.
And Dauid putte his hond `in to his scrippe, and he took o stoon, and he castide with the slynge, `and ledde aboute, and smoot `the Filistei in the forheed; and the stoon was fastned in his forheed, and he felde doun in to his face on the erthe.
50 Enti Dawid de ahwimmo ne kokwabo baako dii Filistini ɔkwabran no so.
And Dauid hadde the maistrie ayens `the Filistei `in a slyng and stoon, and he killide `the Filistei smytun. And whanne Dauid hadde no swerd in the hond,
51 Dawid tuu mmirika kɔɔ Filistini no so kɔtwee nʼafoa fii ne boha mu. Dawid de afoa no kum no twaa ne ti. Bere a Filistifo huu sɛ wɔn kwabran no awu no, wɔtetew san wɔn akyi, guanee.
he ran, and stood on `the Filistei, and took his swerd; and Dauid drow out the swerd of his schethe, and `killide him, and kittide awei his heed. Forsothe the Filisteis sien, that the strongeste of hem was deed, and thei fledden.
52 Afei, Israelfo no bɔɔ ose kɛse nkonimdi so, taa Filistifo no ara koduu Gat ne Ekron apon ano. Na Filistifo a wɔawuwu no afunu ne apirafo no gugu ɔkwan so, de fi Saaraim de koduu Gat ne Ekron.
And the sones of Israel and of Juda risiden to gidere, and crieden, and pursueden Filisteis, `til the while thei camen in to the valei, and `til to the yate of Accaron. And woundid men of Filisteis felden in the weye of Sarym, and `til to Geth, and `til to Accaron.
53 Afei, Israelfo asraafo san wɔn akyi bɛbɔ wuraa Filistifo nsraban a wɔaguan afi hɔ no mu faa wɔn nneɛma.
And the sones of Israel turneden ayen, aftir that thei hadden pursuede Filisteis, and thei assailiden `the tentis of hem.
54 Dawid faa Goliat ti de kɔɔ Yerusalem, na ɔkoraa Filistini no akode wɔ ɔno ankasa ne ntamadan mu.
Forsothe Dauid took the heed of `the Filistei, and brouyte it in to Jerusalem; sotheli he puttide hise armeris in the `tabernacle of the Lord.
55 Bere a Saulo huu Dawid sɛ ɔrekɔ Goliat anim no, obisaa Abner a na ɔyɛ nʼakofo sahene se, “Abner, hena ba ne saa aberante yi?” Abner buae se, “Nokware ni, minnim.”
Forsothe in that tyme in which Saul siy Dauid goynge out ayens `the Filistei, he seide to Abner, prince of his chiualrie, Abner, of what generacioun `cam forth this yong waxynge man? And Abner seide, Kyng, thi soule lyueth, I knowe not.
56 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛyɛ a, bisa.”
And the kyng seide, Axe thou, whos sone this child is.
57 Dawid kum Goliat akyi no, Abner de no brɛɛ Saulo a na ɔda so kita Filistini no ti no.
And whanne Dauid hadde come ayen, whanne `the Filistei was slayn, Abner took Dauid, and brouyte hym in, hauynge in the hond the heed of `the Filistei, `bifor Saul.
58 Saulo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka biribi a ɛfa wʼagya ho kyerɛ me, me ba.” Na Dawid buae se, “Ne din de Yisai, na yɛte Betlehem.”
And Saul seide to hym, Of what generacioun art thou, yong waxynge man? And Dauid seide, Y am the sone of thi seruaunt, Isai of Bethleem.
