2 Samuel 23
1 Yei ne Dawid nsɛm a ɛtwaa toɔ: “Dawid, Yisai ba barima a Onyankopɔn maa no nkɔsoɔ a ɛyɛ nwanwa, na Yakob Onyankopɔn sraa no ngo no, ne nnwomsiaani papa bi nie:
And these [are] [the] words of David last [the] utterance of David [the] son of Jesse and [the] utterance of the man [who] he was raised up height [the] [one] anointed of [the] God of Jacob and [the] pleasant [one] of [the] songs of Israel.
2 “Awurade honhom kasa fa me mu; ne nsɛm wɔ me tɛkrɛma so.
[the] spirit of Yahweh he has spoken by me and speech his [is] on tongue my.
3 Israel Onyankopɔn kasaeɛ, Israel botan ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: ‘Onipa a ɔdi ɔhene tenenee mu, na ɔde Nyamesuro di ɔhene no,
He said [the] God of Israel to me he spoke [the] rock of Israel [one who] rules over humankind righteous [one who] rules [the] fear of God.
4 ɔte sɛ anɔpa hann, ɔte sɛ owiapue a ɛhyerɛn ɛberɛ a omununkum nni hɔ; ɔte sɛ osutɔ a ɛma ahodwoɔ, na ɛma ɛserɛ foforɔ pue firi asase mu.’
And like [the] light of morning [when] it dawns [the] sun morning not clouds from brightness from rain vegetation from [the] earth.
5 “Ɛyɛ me fie na Onyankopɔn ayi. Aane, ɔne me ayɛ apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ne nhyehyɛeɛ yɛ afebɔɔ, ebi nni hɔ bio, na wɔasɔ ano. Ɔbɛhwɛ me yiedie ne me nkɔsoɔ daa.
For not thus [is] house? my with God for a covenant of perpetuity he has made to me arranged in everything and preserved for all salvation my and every desire for not will he make grow?
6 Na wɔn a wɔnnim Onyame no te sɛ nkasɛɛ a wɔbɛto aguo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔwowɔ nsa a ɛsɔ mu.
And a worthless person [is] like thorn[s] [which is] chased away all of them for not in a hand people will take.
7 Ɛsɛ sɛ obi kɔ amia mu ansa na watwa wɔn agu; wɔde ogya bɛhye wɔn dworobɛɛ.”
And anyone [who] he will touch them he will arm himself iron and [the] wood of a spear and with fire certainly they will be burned at the dwelling.
8 Edin a ɛdidi soɔ yi yɛ Dawid nnɔmmarima: Deɛ ɔdi ɛkan ne Yoseb-Basebet a ɔfiri Tahkemon, na ɔyɛ ɔsahene wɔ akofoɔ akɛseɛ Baasa bi so wɔ Dawid mmarima no mu. Ɔno na ɔde ne pea kumm atamfoɔ akofoɔ aha nwɔtwe wɔ ɔsa baako pɛ mu.
These [are] [the] names of the warriors who [belonged] to David Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite - [the] chief of the three he Adino (the Eznite *Q(K)*) on eight hundred [one] slain at a time (one. *Q(K)*)
9 Deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu wɔ Baasa no mu no ne Dodo babarima Eleasa a ɔyɛ Ahohi aseni. Ɛberɛ bi Eleasa ne Dawid ka boom, te gyinaeɛ, de tiaa Filistifoɔ ɛberɛ a Israel akodɔm no nyinaa adwane.
(And [was] after him *Q(k)*) Eleazar [the] son of (Dodo *Q(K)*) [the] son of Ahoah among three (the warriors *Q(K)*) with David when defied they the Philistines [who] they were gathered there for battle and they went up [the] man of Israel.
10 Ɔkunkumm Filistifoɔ no ara kɔsii sɛ afei, na ɔntumi mpagya ne pea. Nanso, Awurade maa no dii nkonim saa da no. Akodɔm a aka no ansane amma, kɔsii ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkɔtase wɔn asadeɛ no.
He he arose and he struck down among the Philistines until - for it was weary hand his and it cleaved hand his to the sword and he did Yahweh a deliverance great on the day that and the people they returned after him only to strip.
11 Deɛ ɔdi hɔ yɛ Sama a ɔyɛ Agee a ɔfiri Harar babarima. Ɛda koro bi, Filistifoɔ no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Lehi, na wɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so asɛdua afuo bi mu. Israel akodɔm no dwaneeɛ,
And [was] after him Shamma [the] son of Agee [the] Hararite and they were gathered [the] Philistines to Lehi and it was there [the] portion of the field full of lentils and the people it fled from before [the] Philistines.
12 nanso, Sama gyinaa ne nan so pintinn wɔ afuo no mfimfini, kaa Filistifoɔ no guiɛ. Enti, Awurade ma ɔdii nkonim.
And he took his stand in [the] middle of the portion and he delivered it and he struck down [the] Philistines and he did Yahweh a deliverance great.
13 Ɛberɛ bi, ɛduruu twaberɛ no a Dawid wɔ Adulam ɔbodan mu no, Filistia akodɔm bɛkyeree sraban wɔ Refaim bɔnhwa mu. Baasa no (a na wɔka Aduasa no ho no, wɔn a na wɔyɛ nimdefoɔ wɔ Dawid akofoɔ mu no) siane kɔhyiaa no wɔ hɔ.
And they went down (three *Q(K)*) from the thirty leader[s] and they came to [the] harvest to David to [the] cave of Adullam and a community of Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.
14 Saa ɛberɛ no na Dawid te sraban mu hɔ a na Filistifoɔ akodɔm no fa bi nso akɔtena Betlehem.
And David then [was] in the stronghold and a garrison of Philistines then [was] Beth-lehem.
15 Dawid daa nʼakɔnnɔ adi sɛ, “Ao, sɛ menya nsu pa a ɛwɔ Betlehem abura a ɛwɔ kuro no ɛpono no ano hɔ no bi a, mɛnom.”
And he desired David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.
16 Enti, Baasa no bu faa Filistifoɔ no mu kɔsaa nsuo no bi firii abura no mu, de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso, wannom. Mmom, ɔhwie guu Awurade anim.
And they broke through [the] three the warriors in [the] camp of [the] Philistines and they drew water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [was] at the gate and they carried [it] and they brought [it] to David and not he was willing to drink them and he poured out them to Yahweh.
17 Ɔteaam sɛ, “Awurade ma ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom yei! Saa nsuo yi som bo te sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn nkwa too hɔ, kɔsaa nsuo yi brɛɛ me yi mogya.” Enti, Dawid annom. Aninsɛm a Baasa no yɛeɛ nhwɛsoɔ bi nie.
And he said far be it to me O Yahweh than to do I this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men who went with lives their and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the warriors.
18 Na Yoab nua Seruia babarima Abisai nso dii Aduasa no anim. Ɛda bi, ɔde ne pea kumm atamfoɔ akofoɔ ahasa wɔ ɔsa baako pɛ mu. Saa mmaninsɛm yi enti na ɔgyee edin te sɛ Baasa no.
