2 Samuel 8
1 And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines.
Akyire yi, Dawid dii Filistifoɔ no so, brɛɛ wɔn ase. Ɔko gyee Gat a ɛyɛ wɔn kuropɔn kɛseɛ no.
2 And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
Dawid sane dii Moabfoɔ so. Ɔmaa nnipa no dedaa fam, na ɔde ahoma susuu wɔn. Ɔsusu ahoma no mmienu a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnkum saa nnipa no. Ɛnna ɔsusu ahoma no baako a, na wakyerɛ sɛ wɔnnyaa saa nkurɔfoɔ no. Enti, Moabfoɔ a wɔnyaa wɔn ti didii mu no bɛyɛɛ Dawid asomfoɔ a na afe biara wɔyi ɛtoɔ brɛ no.
3 And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Dawid sɛe Rehob babarima Hadadeser a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Soba no akɔdɔm, ɛberɛ a Hadadeser kɔɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔhyɛ ne nnisoɔ mu den.
4 And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.
Dawid kyeree ne nteaseɛnam apem, nteaseɛnamkafoɔ mpem nson ne nammɔntwa asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu. Dawid twitwaa nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ no nyinaa nantin ntini, ma ɛkaa ɔha pɛ.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
Ɛberɛ a Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri Damasko baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa Sobahene Hadadeser no, Dawid kumm wɔn mu ɔpeduonu.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
Na ɔde akodɔm a wɔyɛ bansifoɔ kɔtenaa Damasko, ma Aramfoɔ bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkurɔfoɔ a na wɔyi toɔ brɛ no. Baabiara a Dawid bɛkɔ no, Awurade ma no di nkonim.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawid faa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser mpanimfoɔ dea no de ne nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem.
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much bronze.
Ɔde Beta ne Berotai a na ɛyɛ Hadadeser nkuro no mu kɔbere bebree kaa ne ho kɔɔeɛ.
9 And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;
Ɛberɛ a Hamathene Toi tee sɛ Dawid atɔre Hadadeser akodɔm no ase pasaa no,
10 and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
ɔsomaa ne babarima Yoram wɔ Dawid nkyɛn, bɛkyiaa no maa no amo. Na Hadadeser ne Toi yɛ atamfoɔ firi teteete a wɔako atia wɔn ho mpɛn bebree. Yoram kɔkyɛɛ Dawid nneɛma bebree a ɛyɛ, dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
11 Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued:
Ɔhene Dawid too akyɛdeɛ no nyinaa din de maa Awurade a, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɔnya firii aman bi a ɔdii wɔn so no nyinaa ka ho.
12 of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Saa aman no ne Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistia, Amalek ne deɛ ɛfiri Sobahene Rehob babarima Hadadeser nkyɛn nso.
13 And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand [men].
Yei maa Dawid gyee edin. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔeɛ no, ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ mpem dunwɔtwe wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa mu.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom: throughout Edom did he put garrisons; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
Ɔde akodɔm bansifoɔ siisii Edom nyinaa ano. Na Edomfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Dawid nkoa. Yei yɛ nhwɛsoɔ foforɔ a ɛkyerɛɛ nkonim a Awurade maa Dawid dii no baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.
Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene, na ɔne obiara tenaa yie.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
Seruia babarima Yoab na na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehyeɛ abakɔsɛmtwerɛni.
17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
Sadok a na ɔyɛ Ahitub babarima ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek na na wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ. Na Seraia yɛ asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ.
18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔdi Keretifoɔ ne Peletifoɔ so, ɛnna Dawid mmammarima tua asɔfodɔm ano.
