2 Samuel 10
1 Akyire no, Amonhene Nahas wuiɛ. Ne babarima Hanun na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
Patapita nthawi, mfumu ya Aamoni inamwalira, ndipo mwana wake Hanuni analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
2 Dawid kaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ Nahas babarima Hanun adɔeɛ, sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛɛ me adɔeɛ no.” Nʼagya wuo enti, Dawid tuu abɔfoɔ kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔmaa no hyɛden. Ɛberɛ a Dawid abɔfoɔ baa Amonfoɔ asase so no,
Davide anaganiza kuti, “Ine ndidzachitira chifundo Hanuni mwana wa Nahasi chifukwa abambo ake anandichitira zabwino.” Choncho Davide anatumiza anthu kuti akamupepesere kwa Hanuni chifukwa cha imfa ya abambo ake. Anthu amene Davide anawatuma atafika kwa Hanuni mʼdziko la Aamoni,
3 Amonfoɔ atitire no kɔbisaa wɔn wura Hanun sɛ, “Wogye di sɛ ba a Dawid somaa nʼabɔfoɔ baa wo nkyɛn bɛmaa wo hyɛden no kyerɛ anidie ampa ara anaa? Wonnye nni sɛ Dawid somaa wɔn akwansra so, sɛ wɔmmɛhwɛ wo kuropɔn na wɔabɛtu agu?”
atsogoleri a ankhondo a Aamoni anawuza Hanuni mbuye wawo kuti, “Kodi mukuganiza kuti Davide akupereka ulemu kwa abambo anu potumiza anthuwa kwa inu kudzapepesa? Kodi Davide sanawatumize anthuwa kuti adzaone mzinda wanu ndi kuchita ukazitape ndi cholinga chofuna kuwulanda?”
4 Ɛno enti, Hanun kyeree Dawid abɔfoɔ no, yii obiara abɔgyesɛ fa, twitwaa wɔn ntadeɛ to mfimfini hɔ, tutuu mu, na wɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan, maa wɔde animguaseɛ kɔeɛ.
Choncho Hanuni anagwira anthu amene Davide anawatuma aja ndipo anameta munthu aliyense mbali imodzi ya ndevu zake, ndi kudula zovala zake pakati mʼchiwuno mpaka matako kuonekera, ndipo anawabweza kwawo.
5 Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Dawid amaneɛ no, ɔtuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔkɔhyiaa mmarima no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔguu wɔn anim ase yie. Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Montena Yeriko kɔsi sɛ mo abɔgyesɛ bɛfu ansa na moasane aba.”
Atamufotokozera Davide zimenezi, iye anatuma amithenga kukakumana ndi anthuwo chifukwa anali ndi manyazi kwambiri. Mfumu inati, “Mukhale ku Yeriko mpaka ndevu zanu zitakula, ndipo kenaka mubwere kuno.”
6 Ɛberɛ a Amonfoɔ hunuu sɛ wɔahyɛ Dawid abufuo no, wɔkɔbɔɔ Aramfoɔ asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu paa firii Bet-Rehob ne Soba. Saa ara na Maakahene nso maa wɔn mmarima apem firii ne nkyɛn, na Tob nso wɔnyaa mmarima mpem dumienu.
Aamoni atazindikira kuti amukwiyitsa kwambiri Davide, anakapeza ankhondo oyenda pansi aganyu okwanira 20,000 kuchokera ku Asiriya wa ku Beti Rehobu ndi Aramu-Zoba, komanso ankhondo 1,000 kwa mfumu Maaka ndiponso ankhondo 22,000 ochokera ku Tobu.
7 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔsomaa Yoab ne nʼakofoɔ sɛ wɔne wɔn nkɔko.
Davide atamva zimenezi, anatumiza Yowabu ndi gulu lonse la ankhondo amphamvu.
8 Amonfoɔ no gyinaa wɔn kuro no ɛpono ano. Saa ɛberɛ no na Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri Soba ne Rehob ne mmarima a wɔfiri Tob ne Maaka no wɔ mfikyire baabiara retwɛn ɔtamfoɔ no.
Aamoni anatuluka ndi kukhala mʼmizere ya nkhondo pa chipata cha mzinda wawo, pamene Aaramu a ku Aramu-Zoba ndi Rehobu ndi ankhondo a ku Tobu ndi Maaka anali kwa wokha ku malo wopanda mitengo.
9 Ɛberɛ a Yoab hunuu sɛ ɔbɛko akofanu no, ɔyii akodɔm a wɔyɛ nnam. Ɔno ara dii wɔn so safohene, dii wɔn anim, kɔko tiaa Aramfoɔ no wɔ mfikyire hɔ.
Yowabu ataona kuti kunali mizere ya ankhondo kutsogolo kwake ndi kumbuyo kwake, iye anasankha ena mwa ankhondo a Israeli odziwa kuchita bwino nkhondo ndipo anawayika kuti amenyane ndi Aaramu.
10 Ɔgyaa akodɔm a wɔaka no maa ne nuabarima Abisai sɛ ɔnkɔto nhyɛ Amonfoɔ no so.
Iye anayika ankhondo ena otsalawo mʼmanja mwa Abisai mʼbale wake ndipo anawayika kuti amenyane ndi Aamoni.
11 Yoab ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarima no sɛ, “Sɛ Aramfoɔ no yɛ den dodo ma me a, ɛyɛ a, bɛboa me. Na sɛ Amonfoɔ no nso yɛ den dodo ma wo a, me nso, mɛba abɛboa wo.
Yowabu anati, “Ngati Aaramu andipose mphamvu, iwe ubwere udzandipulumutse. Koma ngati Aamoni akupose mphamvu, ine ndidzabwera kudzakupulumutsa.
12 Hyɛ wo ho den. Ma yɛmfa akokoɔduru nko nnye yɛn nkurɔfoɔ ne yɛn Onyankopɔn nkuro. Awurade pɛ nyɛ hɔ.”
Limba mtima ndipo timenyane nawo mopanda mantha chifukwa cha anthu athu ndi mizinda ya Mulungu wathu. Yehova achite chomukomera pamaso pake.”
13 Ɛberɛ a Yoab ne nʼakodɔm to hyɛɛ Aramfoɔ no so no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwaneeɛ.
Choncho Yowabu ndi ankhondo amene anali naye anapita kukamenyana ndi Aaramu, ndipo iwo anathawa pamaso pake.
14 Na Amonfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Aramfoɔ no redwane no, wɔdwane firii Abisai ho kɔhyɛɛ kuro no mu. Ɔko no guiɛ no, Yoab sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Aamoni atazindikira kuti Aaramu akuthawa, iwo anathawanso pamaso pa Abisai ndi kulowa mu mzinda. Nkhondo itatha, Yowabu anabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
15 Afei, Aramfoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn afɛ ne Israelfoɔ. Enti, wɔboaa wɔn ho ano bio no.
Aaramu ataona kuti agonjetsedwa ndi Aisraeli, anasonkhananso.
16 Aram akodɔm foforɔ bi bɛkaa wɔn ho a Hadadeser na ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfaa wɔn firii Asubɔnten Eufrate fa nohoa baeɛ. Saa akodɔm yi bɛduruu Helam a Sobak na na ɔyɛ wɔn ɔsahene, na ɔyɛ ɔsahene a ɔtua Hadadeser akodɔm nyinaa ano nso.
Hadadezeri anatumiza amithenga kukayitana Aaramu amene anali ku tsidya la Mtsinje, iwo anapita ku Helamu motsogozedwa ndi Sobaki mkulu wa ankhondo a Hadadezeri.
17 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee deɛ ɛreba no, ɔboaboaa Israel nyinaa ano, de wɔn twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, dii akodɔm no anim, kɔduruu Helam. Ɛhɔ na Aramfoɔ no fifirii wɔn mpasua so to hyɛɛ Dawid so.
Davide atawuzidwa zimenezi, iye anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse ndi kuwoloka Yorodani ndipo anapita ku Helamu. Aaramu anayima mʼmizere yawo yankhondo kukakumana ndi Davide ndipo anamenyana naye.
18 Nanso, bio, Aramfoɔ no dwane firii Israelfoɔ no anim. Saa ɛberɛ yi, Dawid akodɔm no kunkumm nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ahanson ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ mpem aduanan a Sobak a na ɔyɛ wɔn sahene no ka ho.
Koma iwo anathawa pamaso pa Aisraeli, ndipo Davide anapha anthu okwera pa magaleta 700 ndi ankhondo oyenda pansi 40,000. Davide anaphanso Sobaki mtsogoleri wawo wankhondo ndipo anafera pomwepo.
19 Hadadeser ne nʼadɔmfoɔ Aramfoɔ hunuu sɛ Israel adi wɔn so nkonim no, wɔmaa wɔn nsa so, na wɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfoɔ nkoa. Ɛno akyi, Aramfoɔ suroo sɛ wɔbɛboa Amonfoɔ.
Mafumu onse amene anali pansi pa Hadadezeri ataona kuti agonjetsedwa ndi Aisraeli, iwo anachita mtendere ndi Aisraeli ndipo anakhala pansi pawo. Motero Aaramu anaopa kuthandizanso Aamoni.
