2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
Dɔ to ƒe etɔ̃ sɔŋ le David ƒe fiaɖuɣi. David do gbe ɖa na Yehowa ɖe eta eye Yehowa gblɔ na David be, “Dɔ sia to le Saul kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta elabena wowu Gibeontɔwo.”
2 Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
Ale Fia David yɔ Gibeontɔwo ƒo ƒu. Womenye Israelviwo o, ke boŋ wonye Amoritɔ siwo susɔ. Israel ka atam be yemawu wo o, ke Saul di be yeatsrɔ̃ wo le ŋuʋaʋã ɖe Israel kple Yuda nu ta.
3 And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
David bia wo be, “Nu ka mate ŋu awɔ na mi be nu vɔ̃ sia naɖe ɖa le mia dzi eye wòana miabia Mawu be wòayra mi?”
4 The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
Gibeontɔwo ɖo eŋu be, “Ga mawɔ naneke tso nya sia ŋu o eye míedi be woatsɔ hlɔ̃biabia awu Israelviwo hã o.” David bia be, “Ekema nu ka mawɔ? Migblɔe nam ko eye mawɔe na mi.”
5 Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
Woɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Le ame si tsrɔ̃ mí eye wòɖo nugbe ɖe mía ŋu, na wowu mía dometɔ aɖewo eye teƒe aɖeke mele mía si le Israel ƒe akpa aɖeke o ta la,
6 Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
na woatsɔ via ŋutsu adre na mí eye míawu wo le Yehowa ŋkume le Gibea si nye Saul, Yehowa ƒe ame tiatia la ƒe du la me.” Fia la gblɔ be, “Matsɔ wo na mi.”
7 But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
Ena Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu Mefiboset, ame si nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi la tsi agbe le atam si eya kple Yonatan ka na wo nɔewo la ta.
8 But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Ke etsɔ Rizpa ƒe viŋutsu eveawo, Armoni kple Mefiboset ame siwo nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔviwo to srɔ̃a Aya dzi la na wo. Eɖe asi le Saul ƒe vinyɔnu Merab ƒe viŋutsu atɔ̃ siwo wòdzi na Adriel si nye Barzilai, Meholatitɔ la hã ŋu na wo.
9 And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
Gibeontɔwo he wo ɖe ati ŋu le toa dzi le Yehowa ŋkume. Ale wo ame adreawo katã ku zi ɖeka le luxaɣi la ƒe gɔmedzedze.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye ŋutsu eveawo dada la keke akpanya ɖe agakpe aɖe dzi eye wònɔ afi ma le viawo ƒe kukuawo gbɔ tso nuxaɣi va se ɖe tsidzaŋɔli la, ale be akagawo mavuvu wo le ŋkeke me o eye lã wɔadãwo hã maɖu wo le zã me o.
11 And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
Esi David se nu si Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, Saul ƒe ahiãvi wɔ la,
12 And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
eyi ɖaxa Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo le Yabes Gileadtɔwo gbɔ. Yabes Gileadtɔwo fi wo le ablɔ me le Bet Sean, afi si Filistitɔwo tsi woƒe kukuawo ɖo le gbe si gbe wowu Saul le Gilboa to la dzi.
13 So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
David lɔ Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo eye wòƒo ƒu Saul ƒe vi adreawo hã ƒe ƒuwo.
14 And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
Woɖi Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo ɖe Saul fofo, Kis ƒe yɔdo la me le Zela, le Benyaminyigba dzi eye wowɔ nu siwo katã fia la ɖo da ɖi. Le esia megbe la, Mawu se woƒe gbedodoɖa eye wòtsi dɔwuame la nu.
15 Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
Filistitɔwo gaho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu gbe ɖeka. David kple eƒe amewo wɔ aʋa la ale gbegbe be ɖeɖi te David ŋu eye wògbɔdzɔ.
16 Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
Filistitɔwo ƒe ame dzɔatsu aɖe si nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimevi, Isbi Benob, ame si ƒe akplɔ ƒe akɔbliteƒe kpe wu kilogram wuieve la, do gawu yeye aɖe hã. Egblɔ be yele David wu ge.
17 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
Ke Abisai, Zeruya ƒe vi xɔ nɛ eye wòwu Isbibenɔb, Filistitɔ la. Le esia megbe la, David ƒe amewo gblɔ nɛ be, “Màgayi aʋa kpli mí azɔ o! Nu ka ta míaɖe mɔ Israel ƒe kekeli natsi?”
18 And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
Emegbe, le aʋa aɖe me kple Filistitɔwo le Gob la, Sibekai, Husatitɔ la wu Saf si tso Rafa ƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.
19 And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
Le aʋa bubu si wogawɔ kple Filistitɔwo le Gob la, Elhanan, Yair Betlehemtɔ ƒe vi wu Goliat si nye Gititɔ, ame si ƒe akplɔti lolo abe ati si le avɔlɔ̃lawo ƒe agbati me ene.
20 Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
Le aʋa bubu aɖe si wowɔ le Gat me la, ame dzɔatsu aɖe si to asibidɛ ade ɖe asi ɖeka kple afɔbidɛ ade ɖe afɔ ɖeka, wo katã le blaeve-vɔ-ene eye eya hã tso Rafa ƒe dzidzime la
21 And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.

22 These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
