< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Akyire no, Amonhene Nahas wuiɛ. Ne babarima Hanun na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
Mu kiseera ekyo kabaka w’abaana ba Amoni n’afa, mutabani we Kamuni n’amusikira.
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,
Dawudi n’alowooza nga kyandibadde kirungi, okumukolera ebyekisa nga kitaawe bwe yali akoze. Awo Dawudi n’amutumira ekibinja okugenda okumukubagiza olw’okufa kwa kitaawe. Abasajja ba Dawudi bwe baatuuka mu nsi ey’Abamoni,
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?”
abakungu ba Amoni ne bagamba Kamuni mukama waabwe nti, “Olowooza nga Dawudi okukuweereza ababaka okukubagiza, aba assaamu kitaawo kitiibwa? Olowooza nga Dawudi tabasindise okujja okulawuna n’okuketta ekibuga n’okukiwamba?”
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.
Awo Kamuni n’akwata abasajja ba Dawudi n’abamwako ekitundu ky’ebirevu byabwe n’abasalira ebyambalo byabwe wakati okukoma ku manyuma gaabwe, n’abagoba baddeyo ewaabwe.
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.”
Dawudi bwe yategeezebwa ebyo, n’atumira abasajja be ababaka, kubanga baali mu buswavu bungi, n’abagamba nti, “Musigale e Yeriko ebirevu byammwe bimale okukula mulyoke mukomewo.”
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.
Awo Abamoni bwe bategeera nga Dawudi bamufuukidde ekyenyinyalwa, ne bapangisa abaserikale ab’ebigere Abasuuli emitwalo ebiri okuva e Besukekobu n’e Zoba, n’abalala abasajja lukumi okuva ewa kabaka w’e Maaka, n’abalala omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri okuva e Tobu.
7 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔsomaa Yoab ne nʼakofoɔ sɛ wɔne wɔn nkɔko.
Dawudi olwawulira ebyo, n’asindika Yowaabu n’eggye lyonna ery’abasajja abalwanyi abazira.
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.
Abamoni ne bavaayo ne basimba ennyiriri awayingirirwa mu wankaaki w’ekibuga kyabwe, Abasuuli ab’e Zoba n’ab’e Lekobu, n’abasajja ab’e Tobu n’e Maaka bo ne babeera mu ttale.
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.
Awo Yowaabu bwe yalaba ng’olutalo lumutaayizza mu maaso n’emabega, n’alondamu abasajja abazira mu Isirayiri, n’abasindika batabaale Abasuuli.
10 Ɔgyaa akodɔm a wɔaka no maa ne nuabarima Abisai sɛ ɔnkɔto nhyɛ Amonfoɔ no so.
Abaasigalawo n’abakwasa Abisaayi muganda we okubaduumira, n’abasindika batabaale Abamoni.
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.
Yowaabu n’agamba muganda we nti, “Bwe munaalaba Abasuuli nga batuyitiridde amaanyi, munajja ne mutubeera. Abamoni bwe banaabayinga amaanyi, tunajja ne tubabeera.
12 Hyɛ wo ho den. Ma yɛmfa akokoɔduru nko nnye yɛn nkurɔfoɔ ne yɛn Onyankopɔn nkuro. Awurade pɛ nyɛ hɔ.”
Tuddemu amaanyi tulwane masajja olw’abantu baffe, n’olw’ebibuga bya Katonda waffe. Mukama akole nga bw’asiima.”
13 Ɛberɛ a Yoab ne nʼakodɔm to hyɛɛ Aramfoɔ no so no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwaneeɛ.
Awo Yowaabu n’abasajja abaali naye ne bambuka okutabaala Abasuuli, Abasuuli ne babadduka.
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.
Abamoni bwe baalaba nga Abasuuli badduse, nabo ne badduka Abisaayi, ne bayingira mu kibuga. Yowaabu n’alekeraawo okulwana n’Abamoni, n’addayo e Yerusaalemi.
15 Afei, Aramfoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn afɛ ne Israelfoɔ. Enti, wɔboaa wɔn ho ano bio no.
Awo Abasuuli bwe baalaba nga bawanguddwa Isirayiri, ne beekuŋŋaanya.
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.
Kadadezeri n’atumya Abasuuli okuva emitala w’Omugga Fulaati, ne bagenda e Keramu nga bakulembeddwamu Sobaki omuduumizi w’eggye lya Kadadezeri.
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.
Awo Dawudi bwe yakiwulira, n’akuŋŋaanya Isirayiri yenna n’asomoka Yoludaani n’agenda e Keramu. Abasuuli ne basimba ennyiriri okwolekera Dawudi balwane 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.
Naye ne badduka mu maaso ga Isirayiri, Dawudi n’atta abasajja lusanvu ku bavuzi b’amagaali g’embalaasi, era n’emitwalo ena ku beebagala embalaasi, n’afumita ne Sobaki omuduumizi w’eggye lyabwe n’afiirawo.
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.
Awo bakabaka bonna abaali abaddu ba Kadadezeri bwe baalaba nga bawanguddwa Isirayiri, ne beeweerayo ddala eri Abayisirayiri, era ne babawanga n’obusuulu. Awo Abasuuli ne batya okuddamu okuyamba Abamoni.
