1 Samuel 30
1 Nnansa so, Dawid ne ne mmarima kɔduruu Siklag. Na Amalekfoɔ abɛto ahyɛ Negeb so ahye Siklag pasaa.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikilagi, amaAmaleki ayehlasele iningizimu, leZikilagi, ayitshaya iZikilagi, ayitshisa ngomlilo,
2 Wɔkyekyeree mmaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmɔfra ne mpanin. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, na mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔeɛ.
athumba abesifazana ababephakathi kwayo; kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu kawabulalanga muntu, kodwa abaqhuba, ahamba ngendlela yawo.
3 Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no hunuu sɛdeɛ Siklag asɛeɛ ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafoɔ no,
Lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika emzini, khangela, wawutshisiwe ngomlilo, labomkabo, lamadodana abo lamadodakazi abo sebethunjiwe.
4 wɔtwaa agyaadwoɔ ara kɔsii sɛ afei na wɔntumi ntwa agyaadwoɔ no bio.
UDavida labantu ababelaye basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi akaze aba khona kubo amandla okukhala.
5 Dawid yerenom baanu a wɔne Yesreelni Ahinoam ne Karmelni Abigail a na ɔyɛ Nabal yere no ka wɔn a wɔsoaa wɔn kɔeɛ no ho.
OmkaDavida bobabili labo babethunjiwe, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali weKharmeli.
6 Dawid ho yeraa no yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wɔbɛsi no aboɔ, ɛsiane, wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa a wɔakyekye wɔn no enti. Nanso, Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn mu.
UDavida wasecindezeleka kakhulu, ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba umphefumulo wabantu bonke wawubuhlungu, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yamadodana langenxa yamadodakazi akhe. Kodwa uDavida waziqinisa ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.
7 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar, sɛ, “Fa asɔfotadeɛ no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de baeɛ.
UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha umpristi indodana kaAhimeleki: Akungilethele lapha i-efodi. UAbhiyatha waseyiletha i-efodi kuDavida.
8 Na Dawid bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Menti ɛdɔm no anaa? Mɛto wɔn anaa?” Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Aane, ti wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afiri mo nkyɛn no, mo nsa bɛka ne nyinaa.”
UDavida wasebuza eNkosini esithi: Ngixotshane laleliviyo yini? Ngizalifica yini? Yasisithi kuye: Xotshana lalo, ngoba uzalifica lokulifica, ubakhulule lokubakhulula.
9 Enti, Dawid ne ne mmarima ahansia no sii ɛkwan so. Ankyɛre biara na wɔduruu Besor asuwa no so.
Ngakho uDavida wahamba, yena labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye, bafika esifuleni iBesori lapho abasalayo bahlala khona.
10 Nanso, mmarima no mu ahanu deɛ, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yie enti, wɔantumi antwa asuo no. Ɛno enti, Dawid de akodɔm ahanan a wɔaka no toaa so.
Kodwa uDavida waxotshana labo, yena labantu abangamakhulu amane; ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basala, ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakuchapha isifula iBesori.
11 Dawid akodɔm no bi hunuu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wiram hɔ na wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no burodo sɛ ɔnni ne nsuo sɛ ɔnnom.
Basebefica umGibhithe emmangweni, bamletha kuDavida, bamnika ukudla, wadla, bamnathisa amanzi;
12 Wɔsane maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba abɔnta, ɛfiri sɛ, na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛre na ɔnyaa ahoɔden.
bamnika ucezu lwesinkwa somkhiwa lamahlukuzo amabili ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo. Kwathi esedlile umoya wabuyela kuye, ngoba wayengadlanga kudla, enganathanga manzi, insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
13 Dawid bisaa no sɛ, “Hwan onipa ne wo, na wofiri he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaa me hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na meyare.
UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi: Ngilijaha leGibhithe, inceku yomAmaleki, lenkosi yami ingitshiyile ngoba bengigula okwensuku ezintathu.
14 Yɛkɔtuaa Keretifoɔ wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyee Siklag nkyɛreeɛ.”
Thina besihlasela iningizimu yamaKerethi, lakwelakoJuda, leningizimu yakoKalebi, leZikilagi sayitshisa ngomlilo.
15 Dawid bisaa no sɛ, “Enti, wobɛdi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberanteɛ no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensane mfa me mma me wura deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, mɛdi wʼanim de wo akɔ.”
UDavida wasesithi kulo: Ungangehlisela kuleloviyo yini? Laselisithi: Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala, njalo kawuyikunginikela esandleni senkosi yami, besengikwehlisela kuleloviyo.
16 Na Misraimni no dii wɔn anim kɔɔ Amalekfoɔ no atenaeɛ. Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duruu hɔ no, na Amalekfoɔ no ahwete wɔ ɛserɛ no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛ resa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔanya asadeɛ bebree afiri Filistifoɔ nkyɛn ne Yuda asase so.
Selimehlisile, khangela, babehlakazekile ebusweni bomhlaba wonke, besidla, benatha, begidela impango enkulu ababeyithethe elizweni lamaFilisti lelizweni lakoJuda.
17 Dawid ne ne mmarima to hyɛɛ wɔn so, kunkumm wɔn wɔ akofena ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kɔsii adekyeeɛ no anwummerɛ. Amalekfoɔ no mu biara antumi annwane, agye mmarima ahanan a wɔtenatenaa nyoma so dwaneeɛ no.
UDavida wasebatshaya kusukela libantubahle kwaze kwaba kusihlwa kosuku olulandelayo lwabo. Njalo kakuphunyukanga muntu kubo, ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane, agada amakamela, abaleka.
18 Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfoɔ no faeɛ, sane gyee ne yerenom baanu no.
UDavida wasekhulula konke amaAmaleki ayekuthethe, labomkakhe bobabili uDavida wabakhulula.
19 Biribiara anyera: sɛ ɛyɛ ketewa anaa kɛseɛ, ɔbabarima anaa ɔbabaa anaa biribiara a wɔfom faeɛ no, Dawid de ne nyinaa sane baeɛ.
Njalo kakusilelanga lutho kubo kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu, kuze kube semadodaneni lemadodakazini, lempangweni, ngitsho lakuphi ababezithathele khona; uDavida wakubuyisa konke.
20 Nʼakodɔm no kaa nnwan ne anantwie no so, de wɔn baeɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom nyinaa wɔ Dawid sɛ nʼadwuma pa so akatua.”
UDavida wasethatha zonke izimvu lenkomo. Baziqhuba phambi kwenkomo lezo, bathi: Le yimpango kaDavida.
21 Na wɔduruu Besor asuwa no so na wɔhunuu mmarima ahanu a ɔbrɛ dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyeaa wɔn anigyeɛ so.
UDavida wasefika kulabobantu abangamakhulu amabili ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakulandela uDavida, abathi kabahlale esifuleni seBesori; basebephuma ukumhlangabeza uDavida lokuhlangabeza abantu ababelaye. Lapho uDavida esondela kubantu, wababuza impilakahle.
22 Nanso, Dawid mmarima no mu asɛmpɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ enti, wɔrennya asadeɛ no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmfiri yɛn ani so nkɔ.”
Basebephendula bonke abantu ababi labakaBheliyali phakathi kwabantu ababehambe loDavida bathi: Njengoba bengahambanga lathi, kasiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhululileyo, ngaphandle kwakuleyo laleyondoda umkayo labantwana bayo, ukuthi babakhokhele bahambe.
23 Nanso, Dawid kaa sɛ, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ deɛ Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkomenya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfoɔ so nkonim.
Kodwa uDavida wathi: Kaliyikwenza njalo, bafowethu, ngalokho iNkosi esiphe khona, esilondolozileyo, yanikela esandleni sethu iviyo eleza lamelana lathi.
24 Mogye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi bɛtie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ sa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akodeɛ so nyinaa.”
Pho, ngubani ozalilalela kuloludaba? Ngoba njengesabelo salowo owehlela empini sinjalo isabelo salowo ohlala lempahla; bazakwabelana ngokulinganayo.
25 Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Dawid yɛɛ yei mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔgu so di so saa ara de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Kwasekusiba njalo kusukela mhlalokho kusiya phambili, ukuthi wakwenza kwaba yisimiso lesimiselo koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.
26 Ɛberɛ a Dawid duruu Siklag no, ɔsoma maa wɔde asadeɛ no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kaa sɛ, “Mo akyɛdeɛ a yɛfa firi Awurade atamfoɔ nsam nie.”
UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathumela okwempango kubadala bakoJuda, kubo abangane bakhe, esithi: Khangela, isibusiso senu esivela empangweni yezitha zeNkosi.
27 Wɔde akyɛdeɛ no kɔmaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam, Yatir.
