< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Eyi ne Dawid nsɛm a etwaa to: “Dawid, Yisai ba barima a Onyankopɔn maa no nkɔso a ɛyɛ nwonwa, na Yakob Nyankopɔn sraa no ngo no, Israel nnwomhyehyɛfo mu otiban:
And these [are] [the] words of David last [the] utterance of David [the] son of Jesse and [the] utterance of the man [who] he was raised up height [the] [one] anointed of [the] God of Jacob and [the] pleasant [one] of [the] songs of Israel.
2 “Awurade honhom kasa fa me mu; ne nsɛm wɔ me tɛkrɛma so.
[the] spirit of Yahweh he has spoken by me and speech his [is] on tongue my.
3 Israel Nyankopɔn kasae. Israel botan ka kyerɛɛ me se: ‘Onipa a odi hene trenee mu, na ɔde Onyamesuro di hene no,
He said [the] God of Israel to me he spoke [the] rock of Israel [one who] rules over humankind righteous [one who] rules [the] fear of God.
4 ɔte sɛ anɔpa hann, ɔte sɛ anɔpa a omununkum nni hɔ apueiwia hann; ɔte sɛ osutɔ akyi hyerɛn, na ɛma sare foforo pue fi asase mu.’
And like [the] light of morning [when] it dawns [the] sun morning not clouds from brightness from rain vegetation from [the] earth.
5 “Ɛyɛ me fi na Onyankopɔn ayi. Yiw, ɔne me ayɛ apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ne nhyehyɛe yɛ afebɔɔ, bi nni hɔ bio, na wɔasɔw ano. Ɔbɛhwɛ me yiyedi ne me nkɔso daa.
For not thus [is] house? my with God for a covenant of perpetuity he has made to me arranged in everything and preserved for all salvation my and every desire for not will he make grow?
6 Na wɔn a wonnim Onyame no te sɛ nsɔe a wɔbɛtow agu, efisɛ wɔwowɔ nsa a eso mu no.
And a worthless person [is] like thorn[s] [which is] chased away all of them for not in a hand people will take.
7 Ɛsɛ sɛ obi kɔ amia mu ansa na watwa wɔn agu; wɔde ogya bɛhyew wɔn dwerɛbee.”
And anyone [who] he will touch them he will arm himself iron and [the] wood of a spear and with fire certainly they will be burned at the dwelling.
8 Din a edidi so yi yɛ Dawid dɔmmarima: Nea odi kan ne Yoseb-Basebet a ofi Tahkemon, na ɔyɛ ɔsahene wɔ akofo akɛse Baasa bi so wɔ Dawid mmarima no mu. Ɔno na ɔde ne peaw kum atamfo akofo ahanwɔtwe wɔ ɔsa baako pɛ mu no.
These [are] [the] names of the warriors who [belonged] to David Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite - [the] chief of the three he Adino (the Eznite *Q(K)*) on eight hundred [one] slain at a time (one. *Q(K)*)
9 Nea ɔto so abien wɔ baasa no mu no ne Dodo babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ Ahohi aseni. Bere bi Eleasar ne Dawid ka bɔɔ mu, tew gyinae, de tiaa Filistifo bere a Israel asraafo no nyinaa aguan no.
(And [was] after him *Q(k)*) Eleazar [the] son of (Dodo *Q(K)*) [the] son of Ahoah among three (the warriors *Q(K)*) with David when defied they the Philistines [who] they were gathered there for battle and they went up [the] man of Israel.
10 Okunkum Filistifo no ara kosii sɛ afei, na ontumi mpagyaw ne peaw. Nanso Awurade maa no dii nkonim saa da no. Asraafo a wɔaka no ansan amma kosii bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkɔtase wɔn asade no.
He he arose and he struck down among the Philistines until - for it was weary hand his and it cleaved hand his to the sword and he did Yahweh a deliverance great on the day that and the people they returned after him only to strip.
11 Nea odi hɔ yɛ Sama a ɔyɛ Agee a ofi Harar babarima. Da koro bi, Filistifo no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Lehi, na wɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ aseduafuw bi mu. Israel asraafo no guanee,
And [was] after him Shamma [the] son of Agee [the] Hararite and they were gathered [the] Philistines to Lehi and it was there [the] portion of the field full of lentils and the people it fled from before [the] Philistines.
12 nanso Sama gyinaa ne nan so pintinn wɔ afuw no mfimfini, kaa Filistifo no gui. Enti Awurade ma odii nkonim.
And he took his stand in [the] middle of the portion and he delivered it and he struck down [the] Philistines and he did Yahweh a deliverance great.
13 Twabere bi a na Dawid wɔ Adulam ɔbodan mu no, Filisti asraafo bɛkyeree nsraban wɔ Refaim bon mu. Dawid akofo nimdefo aduasa no mu baasa sian kohyiaa no wɔ hɔ.
And they went down (three *Q(K)*) from the thirty leader[s] and they came to [the] harvest to David to [the] cave of Adullam and a community of Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.
14 Saa bere no na Dawid te nsraban mu hɔ a na Filistifo asraafo no fa bi nso akɔtena Betlehem.
And David then [was] in the stronghold and a garrison of Philistines then [was] Beth-lehem.
15 Dawid daa nʼakɔnnɔ adi se, “Ao, sɛ minya nsu pa a ɛwɔ Betlehem abura a ɛwɔ kurow no pon no ano hɔ no bi a, anka mɛnom.”
And he desired David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.

17 Ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade ma ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom eyi! Saa nsu yi som bo te sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn nkwa too hɔ, kɔsaw nsu yi brɛɛ me yi mogya.” Enti Dawid annom. Mmarimasɛm a Baasa no dii no nhwɛso bi ni.
And he said far be it to me O Yahweh than to do I this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men who went with lives their and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the warriors.
