1 Samuel 14
1 Ɛda bi, Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ aberanteɛ a ɔsoa nʼakodeɛ sɛ, “Bra na yɛnkɔ baabi a Filistifoɔ abɔ dɔmpem hɔ.” Yonatan anka nʼadwene ankyerɛ nʼagya.
And it bifelde in a day, that Jonathas, the sone of Saul, seide to his squyer, a yong man, Come thou, and passe we to the staciouns of the Filisteis, which is biyende that place; `sotheli he schewide not this same thing to his fadir.
2 Saa ɛberɛ no na Saulo ne ne mmarima ahansia no akyere sraban wɔ Gibea nkwantia wɔ ateaa dua a ɛwɔ Migron no ase.
Sotheli Saul dwellide in the laste part of Gabaa, vndur a pumgarnarde tre, that was in the feeld of Gabaa; and the puple as of sixe hundrid men was with hym.
3 (Onipa a na ɔka Saulo mmarima no ho no ne Ahiya a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsɔfoɔ a na ɔhyɛ serekye asɔfotadeɛ no. Na Ahiya yɛ Ahitub babarima a ɔyɛ Ikabod nua. Na saa Ahitub no nso yɛ Pinehas babarima a na ɔyɛ Eli nana nso. Na Eli yɛ Awurade ɔsɔfoɔ a na ɔsom wɔ Silo.) Na obiara nnim sɛ Yonatan afiri Israel sraban mu.
And Achias, sone of Achitob, brother of Icaboth, sone of Fynees, that was gendrid of Ely, preest of the Lord in Silo, bar ephod, `that is, the preestis cloth; but also the puple wiste not whidur Jonathas hadde go.
4 Ansa na Yonatan bɛduru Filistifoɔ sraban mu no, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsiane fa abotan mmepɔ mmienu bi a wɔfrɛ no Boses ne Sene no ntam.
Sotheli bitwixe the stiyngis, bi whiche Jonathas enforside to passe to the stacioun of Filisteis, weren stonys stondynge forth on euer either side, and scarris brokun bifore bi the maner of teeth on ech syde; name to oon was Boses, and name to `the tother was Sene;
5 Ɔbotan a ɛtwere hɔ a na ɛwɔ atifi fam no, na ɛkyerɛ Mikmas anim, na deɛ ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no nso, na ɛkyerɛ Geba anim.
o scarre was stondynge forth to the north ayens Machynas, and the tother scarre to the south ayens Gabaa.
6 Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ aberanteɛ a ɔyɛ nʼakodeɛsoafoɔ no sɛ, “Ma yɛntwam nkɔ abosonsomfoɔ no nkyɛn. Ebia, Awurade bɛboa yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, biribiara ntumi nsi Awurade kwan. Ɔbɛtumi adi ɔko mu nkonim a ɛmfa ho sɛ nʼakodɔm dɔɔso anaa wɔsua.”
Forsothe Jonathas seide to his yong squyer, Come thou, passe we to the stacioun of these vncircumcisid men, if in hap the Lord do for vs; for it is not hard to the Lord to saue, ethir in manye ethir in fewe.
7 Aberanteɛ no kaa sɛ, “Yɛ deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ biara. Gyinaeɛ biara a wobɛsie no, metaa wʼakyi pintinn.”
And his squyer seide to hym, Do thou alle thingis that plesen thi soule; go whidur thou coueitist, Y schal be with thee, where euer thou wolt.
8 Yonatan kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, yɛbɛtwam akɔ hɔ, na yɛama wɔahunu yɛn.
And Jonathas seide, Lo! we passen to these men; and whanne we apperen to hem,
9 Na sɛ wɔka sɛ, ‘Monnyina baabi a moaduru hɔ ara na anyɛ saa a, yɛbɛkum mo’ a, ɛnneɛ, yɛbɛgyina a yɛrenkɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
if thei speken thus to vs, Dwelle ye, til we comen to you; stonde we in oure place, and stie we not to hem.
10 Na sɛ wɔka sɛ, ‘Momforo mmra mmɛko’ a, ɛnneɛ, yɛbɛforo akɔ ɔsoro. Ɛbɛyɛ Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ sɛ ɔbɛboa yɛn, ama yɛadi wɔn so nkonim.”
Sotheli if thei seien, Stye ye to vs; stie we, for the Lord hath bitake hem in oure hondis; this schal be a signe to vs.
11 Ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ no hunuu sɛ wɔreba no, wɔteam sɛ, “Monhwɛ o! Hebrifoɔ no na wɔreweawea afiri wɔn abɔn mu no!”
`Therfor euer either apperide to the stacioun of Filisteis; and Filisteis seiden, Lo! Ebreis goen out of caues, in whiche thei weren hid.
12 Na wɔteam frɛɛ Yonatan sɛ, “Foro bra ha na yɛnkyerɛ wo nyansa!” Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodeɛsoafoɔ no sɛ, “Bra; foro di mʼakyi na Awurade bɛboa yɛn, ama yɛadi wɔn so nkonim.”
And men of the stacioun spaken to Jonathas and to his squyer, and seiden, Stie ye to vs, and we schulen schewe to you a thing. And Jonathas seide to his squyer, `Stie we, sue thou me; for the Lord hath bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel.
13 Enti, wɔde wɔn nsa mmienu ne wɔn nan foroeɛ, na Yonatan ne nʼakodeɛsoafoɔ no kunkumm Filistifoɔ no benkum ne nifa, ma wɔtete kɔguiɛ.
Forsothe Jonathas stiede crepynge on hondis and feet, and his squyer after hym; and whanne thei hadden seyn the face of Jonathas, summe felden doun bifor Jonathas, his squier killed othere, and suede hym.
14 Wɔkunkumm mmarima bɛyɛ aduonu maa wɔn amu no dedaa asase no bɛyɛ sɛ eka fa so.
And the firste wounde was maad, which Jonathas and his squyer smoot, as of twenti men, in `the myddil part of lond which a peire of oxun was wont to ere in the dai.
15 Ɛhɔ ara, ehu bɔɔ Filistifoɔ nsraadɔm no wɔ sraban no mu ne akono hɔ nyinaa, na ɛkaa ntohyɛsofoɔ no mpo. Ɛhɔ ara asase wosoeɛ, maa obiara akoma tuiɛ.
And a myracle was don in the castels, and bi the feeldis, but also al the puple of the `stacioun of hem that yeden out to take prey, dredde, and `the castels weren disturblid; and it bifelde as a myracle of God.
16 Saulo awɛmfoɔ a wɔwɔ Gibea no hunuu biribi a ɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa. Ɛno ara ne sɛ, Filistifoɔ akodɔm no abɔ ahwete mmaa nyinaa.
And aspyeris of Saul bihelden, that weren in Gabaa of Beniamyn, and lo! a multitude cast doun, and fleynge awei hidur and thidur.
17 Afei, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔka ne ho no sɛ, “Monhwɛ akodɔm no mu nhwɛ sɛ obi nni hɔ anaa.” Wɔhwehwɛeɛ hunuu sɛ Yonatan ne nʼakodeɛsoafoɔ no na na wɔnni hɔ.
And Saul seide to the puple that weren with hym, Seke ye, and se ye, who yede awei fro vs. And whanne thei hadden souyt, it was foundun, that Jonathas and his squyer weren not present.
18 Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Ahiya sɛ, “Kɔfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no bra.” (Saa ɛberɛ no na ɛwɔ Israelfoɔ nkyɛn.)
And Saul seide to Achias, Brynge the arke of the Lord; for the arke of God was there in that dai with the sones of Israel.
19 Ɛberɛ a Saulo rekasa akyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no, na basabasa a asi Filistifoɔ sraban no mu no ano den ara na ɛreyɛ. Enti, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Gyae! Ma yɛnkɔ.”
And whanne Saul spak to the preest, a grete noise roos in the castelis of Filisteis; and it encresside litil and litil, and sownede cleerliere. And Saul seide to the preest, Withdraw thin hond.
20 Afei, Saulo ne ne mmarima ahansia no kaa wɔn ho ntɛm so, firii akono hɔ kɔhunuu sɛ, Filistifoɔ no atwa wɔn ho rekunkum wɔn ho wɔn ho. Na ɛhɔ nyinaa ayɛ kitikiti ne basabasayɛ nko ara.
Therfor Saul criede, and al the puple that was with hym; and thei camen `til to the place of batel, and, lo! the swerd of ech man was turned to his neiybore, and a ful grete sleynge was.
21 Mpo, Hebrifoɔ a na wɔdɔm Filistifoɔ akodɔm no kɔdɔm Saulo, Yonatan ne Israelfoɔ nkaeɛ no.
But also Ebreis that weren with Filisteis yistirday and the thridde dai ago, and hadde stied with hem in castels, turneden ayen to be with Israel, that weren with Saul and Jonathas.
22 Saa ara na mmarima a na wɔakɔtetɛ wɔ mmepɔ mu no hunuu sɛ Filistifoɔ no redwane no, kaa wɔn so bi.
Also alle men of Israel, that hadden hid hem silf in the hil of Effraym, herden that Filisteis hadden fled; and thei felouschipiden hem silf with her men in batel, and as ten thousynde of men weren with Saul.
23 Enti, Awurade gyee Israel ɛda no. Na ɔko no kɔɔ so ara traa Bet-Awen.
And the Lord sauyde Israel in that day. Sotheli the batel cam til to Bethauen.
24 Afei, saa ɛda no na Israelfoɔ no abrɛbrɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Saulo ama wɔaka ntam sɛ, “Nnome mmra obiara a ɔbɛdidi ansa na onwunu atɔ, anaasɛ ansa matɔ mʼatamfoɔ no so were.” Enti, obiara amfa hwee anka nʼano ɛda mu no nyinaa,
And men of Israel weren felouschipid to hem silf in that dai; forsothe Saul swoor to the puple, and seide, Cursid be the man, that etith breed `til to euentid, til `Y venge me of myn enemyes.
25 ɛwom, wɔhunuu sɛ ɛwoɔ kyɛm da fam wɔ kwaeɛ no ase.
And al the puple ete not breed. And al the comyn puple of the lond cam in to a forest, in which was hony on the `face of erthe.
26 Wɔamfa wɔn nsa ansɔ ɛwoɔ no mu mpo, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn nyinaa suro ntam a wɔaka no.
And so the puple entride in to the forest, and flowynge hony apperide; and no man puttide hond to his mouth, for the puple dredde the ooth.
27 Nanso, na Yonatan deɛ, ɔntee nʼagya ntam no ho hwee. Ɔde abaa bi nuu ɛwoɔ kyɛm no mu, dii ɛwoɔ no bi. Ɔdi wieeɛ no, ne ho baee no.
Forsothe Jonathas herde not, whanne his fadir swoor to the puple; and he helde forth the ende of a litil yerde, whiche he hadde in the hond, and dippide in to `a coomb of hony; and he turnede his hond to his mouth, and hise iyen weren liytned.
28 Nanso, mmarima no mu baako hunuu no, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wʼagya maa asraafoɔ no kaa ntam a emu yɛ den sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛdidi ɛnnɛ no, nnome bɛba ne so. Ɛno enti, na obiara ahodwo no.”
And oon of the puple answeride, and seide, Thi fader boond the puple with an ooth, and seide, Cursid be the man that etith breed to dai. Forsothe the puple was feynt.
29 Na Yonatan teaam sɛ, “Mʼagya de ɔhaw abɛto yɛn nyinaa so. Mmara a ɛte seyie no pira yɛn. Monhwɛ sɛ ɛwoɔ kakra a mediiɛ yi, me ho asisi me ho so.
And Jonathas seide, My fadir hath disturblid the lond; ye sien, that myn iyen ben liytned, for Y tastide a litil of this hony;
30 Sɛ mmarima no nyaa ɛkwan dii nnuane a wɔhunuu wɔ yɛn atamfoɔ no nkyɛn a, anka mo ara mobɛhunu wɔn dodoɔ a yɛbɛkum aka ho.”
hou myche more if the puple hadde ete the prey of hise enemyes, which `prey it foond; whether not gretter veniaunce hadde be maad in Filisteis?
31 Nanso, ɛkɔm no nyinaa akyi, wɔtaa Filistifoɔ no ɛda mu no nyinaa firi Mikmas, kɔsii Ayalon. Na afei, wɔbrɛbrɛɛ mmoroso.
Therfore thei smytiden Filisteis in that dai fro Machynas `til in to Hailon. Forsothe the puple was maad ful wery;
32 Anwummerɛ no, wɔto guu asadeɛ no so, faa nnwan, anantwie ne anantwie mma. Wɔkunkumm wɔn, wee wɔn ɛnam ne wɔn mogya nyinaa fraeɛ.
and the puple turnede to prey, and took scheep and oxun, and calues; and thei killiden in the erthe; and the puple eet with blood.
33 Afei, obi ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Hwɛ! Mmarima no reyɛ bɔne atia Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔrewe ɛnam a mogya fra mu.” Na Saulo kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ bɔne pa ara. Mompire ɛboɔ kɛseɛ bi mmɛto ha.
And thei telden to Saul, and seiden, that the puple etynge with blood hadde synned to the Lord. And Saul seide, Ye han trespassid; walewe ye to me `riyt now a greet stoon.
34 Na afei monkɔ mmarima no mu nkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa anantwie no ne nnwan no mmra ha mmɛkum wɔn na monsɔne wɔn mogya mfiri wɔn mu. Monnnwe ɛnam a mogya da so wɔ mu mmfa so nnyɛ bɔne nntia Awurade.’” Enti anadwo no, asraafoɔ no de wɔn anantwie baeɛ, bɛkunkumm wɔn wɔ hɔ.
And Saul seyde, `Be ye spred abrood in to the comyn puple, and seie ye to hem, that ech man brynge to me his oxe and ram; and sle ye on this stoon, and ete ye, and ye schulen not do synne to the Lord, `and ete with blood. Therfor al the puple brouyte ech man an oxe in his hond `til to nyyt, and thei killiden there.
35 Na Saulo sii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, de maa Awurade, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan a ɔsiiɛ.
Sotheli Saul bildide an auter to the Lord; and thanne firste he bigan to bilde an auter to the Lord.
36 Na Saulo kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnkɔ Filistifoɔ no so anadwo yi, na yɛnkɔsɛe wɔn ara nkɔsi ahemadakye a yɛrennya wɔn mu baako koraa.” Na wɔbuaa sɛ, “Biribiara a wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ no, yɛbɛyɛ.” Nanso, ɔsɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnni ɛkan mmisa Awurade ansa.”
And Saul seide, Falle we on the Filisteis in the nyyt, and waste we hem til the morewtid schyne; and leeue we not of hem a man. And the puple seide, Do thou al thing that semeth good to thee in thin iyen. And the preest seide, Neiye we hidur to God.
37 Enti, Saulo bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Menkɔ so ntaa Filistifoɔ no? Na wobɛboa yɛn ama yɛadi wɔn so anaa?” Nanso, Awurade amma wɔn mmuaeɛ biara saa ɛda no.
And Saul counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal pursue Filisteis? whether thou schalt bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel? And the Lord answeride not to him in that dai.
38 Enti, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ ntuanofoɔ no sɛ, “Biribi atɔ kyima, enti mehwehwɛ mʼasahene nyinaa. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhunu bɔne a yɛayɛ ɛnnɛ.
And Saul seide, Brynge ye hidur alle the corneris of the puple, and wite ye, and se, bi whom this synne bifelde to dai.
39 Mede Awurade a ɔyii Israel din ka ntam sɛ deɛ woayɛ bɔne no bɛwu, mpo sɛ ɔyɛ me babarima Yonatan!” Na mmarimma no mu baako mpo antumi anka hwee.
The Lord sauyour of Israel lyueth; for if `it is don bi Jonathas my sone, he schal die with out ayen drawyng. At which ooth no man of al the puple ayenseide hym.
40 Afei, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Monnyina nohoa; me ne me babarima Yonatan nso bɛgyina ha.” Nnipa no penee so.
And he seide to al Israel, Be ye departid in to o part, and Y with my sone Jonathas schal be in the tothir part. And the puple answeride to Saul, Do thou that, that semeth good in thin iyen.
41 Enti, Saulo bɔɔ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn, yɛsrɛ wo kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɔdi fɔ ne deɛ ɔdi bem. Mene Yonatan di fɔ anaasɛ bɔne no wɔ nkurɔfoɔ no mu? Mfomsoɔ no bɛtɔɔ Yonatan ne Saulo so, na nnipa no dii bem.”
And Saul seide to the Lord God of Israel, Lord God of Israel, yyue thou doom, what is, that thou answerist not to dai to thi seruaunt? If this wickidness is in me, ether in Jonathas my sone, yyue thou schewyng; ether if this wickidnesse is in thi puple, yyue thou hoolynesse. And Jonathas was takun, and Saul; forsothe the puple yede out.
42 Na Saulo kaa sɛ, “Mommɔ me ne me babarima Yonatan so ntonto.” Na ntonto no bɔɔ Yonatan sɛ ɔdi fɔ.
And Saule seide, Sende ye lot bitwixe me and Jonathas my sone. And Jonathas was takun `bi lot.
43 Saulo bisaa Yonatan sɛ, “Ka deɛ woayɛ kyerɛ me.” Yonatan gye too mu sɛ, “Mede ɛwoɔ kakra kaa mʼano. Ɛyɛ kakra bi a na ɛwɔ abaa bi ti so. Na yei yɛ owuo asɛm?”
Forsothe Saul seide to Jonathas, Schewe thou to me, what thou didist. And Jonathas schewide to hym, and seide, Y tastynge tastide a litil of hony `in the ende of the yerde, that was in myn hond; and lo!
44 Saulo kaa sɛ, “Aane, Yonatan, ɛsɛ sɛ wowuo. Sɛ woanwu wɔ saa asɛm yi ho a, Onyankopɔn nka me na menwu.”
Y die. And Saul seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde `these thingis, for thou, Jonathas, schalt die bi deeth.
45 Ɛhɔ ara na nnipa no sɔre teaam ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Enti, ɛfata sɛ Yonatan a ɔgyee Israel ɛnnɛ no owuo anaa? Onyame mpa ngu. Ɛberɛ dodoɔ no a Awurade te aseɛ yi, ne tirinwi baako koraa ho nka, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn afa ne so ayɛ anwanwadeɛ ɛnnɛ.” Enti, nnipa no gyee Yonatan, na wɔankum no.
And the puple seide to Saul, `Therfor whethir Jonathas schal die, that dide this greet helthe in Israel? this is vnleueful; the Lord lyueth; noon heer of his heed schal falle in to erthe; for he wrouyte with God to dai. Therfor the puple delyuerede Jonathas, that he diede not.
46 Na Saulo frɛɛ akodɔm no sɛ wɔnntaa Filistifoɔ no so bio. Enti, Filistifoɔ no sane kɔɔ efie.
And Saul yede a wey, and pursuede not Filisteis; sotheli Filisteys yeden in to her places.
47 Saulo nyaa Israel ahennwa no so tenaeɛ a ɔhaw biara mma no, ɔko tiaa nʼatamfoɔ wɔ afanan nyinaa. Ɔko tiaa Moab, Amon, Edom Soba ne Filistifoɔ ahemfo. Na baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no, ɔdii nkonim.
And Saul, whanne the rewme was `confermyd on Israel, fauyt bi cumpas ayens alle hise enemyes, ayens Moab, and the sones of Amon, and Edom, and ayens the kyngis of Soba, and ayens Filisteis; and whidur euer he turnede hym, he ouercam.
48 Ɔkoo mmarima so, dii Amalekfoɔ so, gyee Israelfoɔ firii wɔn afomfafoɔ nyinaa nsam.
And whanne the oost was gaderid, he smoot Amalech; and delyuerede Israel fro the hond of hise distrieris.
49 Na Saulo mmammarima ne Yonatan, Iswi ne Malki-Sua na ne mmammaa baanu nso ne Merab a ɔyɛ panin ne Mikal nso a ɔyɛ akumaa.
Forsothe the sones of Saul weren Jonathas, and Jesuy, and Melchisua; the names of hise twei douytris, name of the firste gendrid douyter was Merob, and name `of the lesse douyter was Mycol.
50 Na Saulo yere din de Ahinoam a na ɔyɛ Ahimaas ba. Na ne sahene din de Abner a na ɔyɛ Saulo agya nua Ner babarima.
And name of `the wijf of Saul was Achynoem, the douytir of Achymaas; and the name of the prince of his chyualrye was Abner, sone of Ner, brother of the fadir of Saul.
51 Na Saulo agya Kis ne Abner agya Ner yɛ anuanom a wɔyɛ Abiel mma.
Forsothe Cys was the fadir of Saul; and Ner, the sone of Abiel, was fadir of Abner.
52 Ɛberɛ a Saulo dii adeɛ nyinaa, na Filistifoɔ taa ne Israelfoɔ di ako. Enti ɛberɛ biara a Saulo bɛhunu aberanteɛ biara a ne bo yɛ duru na ɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔtwe no de no fra nʼakodɔm mu.
Sotheli myyti batel was ayens Filisteis in alle the daies of Saul; for whom euere Saul siy a strong man and schapli to batel, Saul felouschipide to him silf that man.
