1 Asusɔ berɛ, afe mu ɛberɛ a ahemfo kɔ ɔko no, Yoab dii Israel akodɔm anim, kɔto hyɛɛ Amonfoɔ nkuro ne nkuraa so, dii wɔn so nkonim. Akodie no mu no, wɔtuaa Raba kuropɔn no, sɛee no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Dawid te akyire wɔ Yerusalem.
Nthawi ya mphukira, nthawi imene mafumu amapita ku nkhondo, Yowabu anatsogolera gulu la ankhondo. Iye anawononga Aamoni, kenaka anapita ku mzinda wa Raba ndipo anawuzungulira, koma Davide anatsala ku Yerusalemu. Yowabu anathira nkhondo mzinda wa Raba ndipo anawuwononga.
2 Ɛberɛ a Dawid duruu Raba no, ɔtuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛ, na wɔde hyɛɛ Dawid. Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ahenkyɛ no na wɔde aboɔdemmoɔ abobɔ mu. Na emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan. Dawid faa asadeɛ bebree firii kuro no mu.
Davide anachotsa chipewa chaufumu pamutu pa mfumu yawo. Chipewacho chinkalemera makilogalamu asanu agolide ndiponso chinali ndi miyala yokongola. Ndipo Davide anavala chipewacho. Iye anatenga katundu wambiri kuchokera mu mzindawo,
3 Ɔde Rabafoɔ no yɛɛ nkoa, hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔde ɛwan, fatudadeɛ ne mmonnua yɛɛ adwuma. Saa ara na ɔhyɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Amon nkuropɔn nyinaa so. Na Dawid ne nʼakodɔm sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
ndipo anatulutsa anthu amene anali mʼmenemo, nawayika kuti azigwira ntchito ya macheka, yosula makasu ndi nkhwangwa. Davide anachita izi ndi mizinda yonse ya Aamoni. Kenaka Davide pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
4 Yei akyi, ɔko sii wɔne Filistifoɔ ntam wɔ Geser. Ɔko no mu, Sibekai a ɔfiri Husa kumm Sipai a ɔyɛ ɔbrane no aseni. Enti wɔkaa Filistifoɔ no hyɛeɛ.
Patapita nthawi, nkhondo inayambika pakati pa Aisraeli ndi Afilisti ku Gezeri. Nthawi imeneyo Sibekai Mhusati anapha Sipai, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Arefai, ndipo Afilisti anagonja.
5 Ɔko foforɔ bi a wɔne Filistifoɔ koeɛ mu no, Yair babarima Elhanan kumm Gatni Goliat nuabarima Lahmi. Na Lahmi pea nsa mu pipiripie te sɛ ntomanwomfoɔ nsadua.
Pa nkhondo inanso ndi Afilisti, Elihanani mwana wa Yairi anapha Lahimi mʼbale wake wa Goliati Mgiti, amene mkondo wake unali ngati ndodo yowombera nsalu.
6 Ɔko foforɔ bi nso a wɔne Filistifoɔ koo wɔ Gat no, ɔbrane bi a ɔyɛ abrane asefoɔ no bi a ɔyɛ nsansia yɛ nansia wɔ ne nsa ne ne nan biara so no
Pa nkhondo inanso imene inachitika ku Gati, panali munthu wina wamtali kwambiri, wa zala zisanu ndi chimodzi mʼmanja ndi mʼmapazi ndipo zonse pamodzi zinalipo 24. Iyenso anali chidzukulu cha Rafa.
7 buu Israel animtia, twitwaa mpoa. Na Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima Yonatan kumm no.
Pamene iye ankanyoza Aisraeli, Yonatani mwana wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide anamupha.
8 Na saa Filistifoɔ yi yɛ Gat abrane no asefoɔ nanso Dawid ne nʼakofoɔ kunkumm wɔn.
Anthu amenewa anali zidzukulu za Rafa ku Gati, ndipo anaphedwa ndi Davide ndi ankhondo ake.
