1 Berɛsosɛm 20
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.
And when the yere was expired, in the time that Kings goe out a warfare, Ioab caryed out the strength of the armie, and destroyed the countrey of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah (but Dauid taryed at Ierusalem) and Ioab smote Rabbah and destroyed it.
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.
Then Dauid tooke the crowne of their King from off his head, and founde it the weight of a talent of golde, with precious stones in it: and it was set on Dauids head, and he brought away the spoyle of the citie exceeding much.
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.
And he caryed away the people that were in it, and cut them with sawes, and with harowes of yron, and with axes: euen thus did Dauid with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people came againe to Ierusalem.
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.
And after this also there arose warre at Gezer with the Philistims: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Sippai, of the children of Haraphah, and they were subdued.
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.
And there was yet another battell with the Philistims: and Elhanan the sonne of Iair slewe Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spearestaffe was like a weauers beame.
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
And yet againe there was a battel at Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and his fingers were by sixes, euen foure and twentie, and was also the sonne of Haraphah.
7 buu Israel animtia, twitwaa mpoa. Na Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima Yonatan kumm no.
And when he reuiled Israel, Iehonathan the sonne of Shimea Dauids brother did slay him.
8 Na saa Filistifoɔ yi yɛ Gat abrane no asefoɔ nanso Dawid ne nʼakofoɔ kunkumm wɔn.
These were borne vnto Haraphah at Gath, and fell by the hand of Dauid: and by the hands of his seruants.
