2 Samuel 8
1 Akyiri no, Dawid dii Filistifo no so, brɛɛ wɔn ase. Ɔko gyee Gat a ɛyɛ wɔn kuropɔn kɛse no.
And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Dawid san dii Moabfo so. Ɔmaa nnipa no dedaa fam, na ɔde hama susuw wɔn. Osusuw hama no abien a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wonkum saa nnipa no. Ɛnna osusuw hama no baako a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wonnyaa saa nkurɔfo no. Enti Moabfo a wonyaa wɔn ti didii mu no bɛyɛɛ Dawid asomfo a na afe biara woyi tow brɛ no.
And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 Dawid sɛe Rehob babarima Hadadeser a na odi hene wɔ Soba no akofo, bere a Hadadeser kɔɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho, pɛe sɛ ɔkɔhyɛ ne nniso mu den no.
David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 Dawid kyeree ne nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafo mpem ason ne asraafo a wɔnam mpem aduonu. Dawid twitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntin, na ogyaw mu ɔha pɛ.
And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Bere a Aramfo a wofi Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kum wɔn mu mpem aduonu.
And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Na ɔde asraafo a wɔyɛ bansifo kɔtenaa Damasko, maa Aramfo bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkurɔfo a na woyi tow brɛ no. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 Dawid de Hadadeser asraafo mpanyimfo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no baa Yerusalem.
And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkurow no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔe.
And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 Bere a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser asraafo no ase pasaa no,
And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 ɔsomaa ne babarima Yoram kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, kokyiaa no maa no mo. Na Hadadeser ne Toi yɛ atamfo fi teteete a wɔako atia wɔn ho wɔn ho mpɛn pii. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid nneɛma bebree a ɛyɛ, dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne kɔbere mfrafrae.
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
11 Ɔhene Dawid too akyɛde no nyinaa din de maa Awurade a, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a onya fii aman bi a odii wɔn so no nyinaa ka ho.
And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
12 Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia, Amalek ne nea efi Sobahene Rehob babarima Hadadeser nkyɛn nso.
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
13 Eyi maa Dawid gyee din. Ɔsan nʼakyi kɔe no, okunkum Edomfo mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bon mu.
David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 Ɔde asraafo bansifo tuatuaa Edom nyinaa ano. Na Edomfo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Eyi yɛ nhwɛso foforo a ɛkyerɛɛ nkonim a Awurade maa Dawid dii wɔ baabiara a ɔkɔe no.
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
15 Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene, a wanhyɛ obiara so na wansisi obiara nso.
And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛmkyerɛwni.
And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 Sadok a na ɔyɛ Ahitub babarima ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfo. Na Seraia yɛ asennii kyerɛwfo.
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na odi Keretifo ne Peletifo so, na Dawid mmabarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
