Laba babengabamadodana akoGadi, izinhloko zebutho; omunye wabancinyane wayephethe ikhulu, lomkhulu wayephethe inkulungwane.
15 Afe no ahyɛaseɛ a Asubɔnten Yordan ayiri no, wɔtwa kɔpamoo nnipa a wɔtete tata so wɔ nʼapueeɛ ne nʼatɔeɛ nkonkɔn so nyinaa firii hɔ.
Laba yibo abachapha iJordani ngenyanga yokuqala lapho yayigcwele iphuphuma inkumbi zonke zayo, baxotsha bonke ababesezigodini ngempumalanga langentshonalanga.
16 Afoforɔ a wɔfiri Benyamin ne Yuda no baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ abanbɔeɛ hɔ.
Basebefika bevela ebantwaneni bakoBhenjamini labakoJuda enqabeni kuDavida.
17 Dawid kɔhyiaa wɔn kaa sɛ, “Sɛ moaba asomdwoeɛ so sɛ morebɛboa me a, yɛyɛ nnamfo. Na sɛ moaba sɛ morebɛyi me ama mʼatamfoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a menyɛɛ bɔne bi a, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn nhwɛ mmu mo atɛn.”
UDavida wasephuma ukubahlangabeza, waphendula wathi kibo: Uba lisiza kimi ngokuthula ukungisiza, ngilenhliziyo ehlangene lani; kodwa uba kuyikunginikela ngenkohliso ezitheni zami, kungelabubi ezandleni zami, uNkulunkulu wabobaba kakubone, ajezise.
18 Na honhom no sii Amasai a akyire no ɔbɛyɛɛ Aduasa no so panin no so, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛyɛ wo dea, Dawid! Yɛwɔ wʼafa, Yisai ba; Asomdwoeɛ ne nkɔsoɔ nyɛ wo kyɛfa na wʼaboafoɔ nyinaa nnya nkɔsoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wo Onyankopɔn ne deɛ ɔboa wo.” Enti, Dawid maa wɔbɛkaa ne ho, na ɔyɛɛ wɔn mpanimfoɔ wɔ nʼakodɔm mu.
UMoya wasesehlela kuAmasayi inhloko yezinduna, wasesithi: Singabakho, Davida, silawe, ndodana kaJese! Ukuthula, ukuthula kube kuwe, lokuthula kube kubasizi bakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusiza! UDavida wasebemukela, wabenza induna zeviyo.
19 Manase mmarima no bi tee wɔn ho kɔdɔmm Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔne Filistifoɔ no rekɔko atia Saulo no. Nanso, asɛm no ani daneeɛ a Filistifoɔ ntuanofoɔ ampene so sɛ Dawid ne ne mmarima no bɛka wɔn ho akɔ. Wɔdwendwenee ho ara no, wɔmaa wɔsanee wɔn akyi kaa sɛ, “Sɛ Dawid dane nʼani kɔ Saulo afa de tia yɛn a, yɛn nkwa na yɛde bɛtwa so.”
Abavela koManase bahlamukela kuDavida ekufikeni kwakhe lamaFilisti emelene loSawuli empini. Kodwa kababasizanga, ngoba ababusi bamaFilisti bamxotsha ngecebo besithi: Ngamakhanda ethu uzahlamukela enkosini yakhe uSawuli.
20 Manase mmarima a wɔwae kɔɔ Dawid afa wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔresane akɔ Siklag no ne Adna, Yosabad, Yediael, Mikael, Yosabad, Elihu ne Siletai. Na wɔn mu biara da akodɔm apem ano.
Ekuyeni kwakhe eZikilagi kwabalekela kuye abavela koManase: OAdina loJozabadi loJediyayeli loMikhayeli loJozabadi loElihu loZilethayi, inhloko zezinkulungwane ababengabakoManase.
21 Wɔboaa Dawid maa ɔtaa afomfafoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔyɛ akokoɔdurufoɔ ne akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔbɛyɛɛ asahene wɔ nʼakodɔm mu.

22 Adekyeeɛ biara, mmarima bebree kɔdɔm Dawid kɔsii sɛ ɔnyaa asraadɔm a ɛso te sɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ.
Ngoba ngesikhathi insuku ngensuku beza kuDavida ukumnceda baze babe libutho elikhulu njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
