< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo.

2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.

Mmere tenten bi a atwa mu, mpo bere a Saulo di yɛn so hene no, na wone obi a nokware na wudi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo ama me nkurɔfo Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifo!’”

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Samuel.

Enti Hebron hɔ, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛnea Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.

4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

Na Dawid ne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem anaa Yebus, sɛnea na wɔfrɛ hɔ kan no, efisɛ Yebusifo na wɔkɔtenaa asase no so kan kyekyeree.

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

Nnipa a wofi Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Worentumi mma ha da biara da.” Nanso Dawid faa aban a na ɛwɔ Sion a wɔfrɛ no Dawid Kurow no.

6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

Dawid ka kyerɛɛ nʼakofo no se, “Mo mu biara a obedi anim na yɛakɔtow ahyɛ Yebusifo no so no na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakofo so sahene.” Na Dawid, nuabea Seruia babarima Yoab dii ɔko no anim, nti ɔbɛyɛɛ Dawid asraafo so sahene.

7 And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore they called it the city of David.

Dawid tenaa aban no mu, na ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid kurow no.

8 And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

Dawid kyekyeree kurow no, trɛw mu fi Milo de twaa ho hyiae, bere a na Yoab nso rekyekyere Yerusalem nkae no.

9 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.

Na Dawid tumi yɛɛ kɛse, efisɛ na Asafo Awurade ka ne ho.

10 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

Eyinom ne Dawid dɔmmarima ntuanofo. Wɔne Israel nyinaa bɔɔ mu, sii gyinae sɛ wɔde Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn so hene sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ bɔ afa Israel ho no.

11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them at one time.

Dawid dɔmmarima no ho nsɛm ni: Nea odi kan no ne Yasobeam a ɔyɛ Hakmonini a na ɔda Baasa no ano sɛ ɔsahene—Baasa no yɛ dɔmmarima akatakyi a na wɔwɔ Dawid asraafo mu. Bere bi ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo ahaasa wɔ akodi baako mu.

12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

Nea ɔto so abien wɔ Baasa no mu no yɛ Dodo babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni.

13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

Bere a Dawid sɔre tiaa Filistifo wɔ Pas-Damim no, na ɔka ne ho. Ɔko no sii wɔ baabi a na ɛyɛ atokofuw nko, na Israel asraafo no guanee.

14 And they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

Nanso Eleasar ne Dawid gyinaa wɔn anan so wɔ afuw no mfimfini, bɔɔ Filistifo no gui. Na Awurade ma wodii nkonim de gyee wɔn.

15 And three of the thirty chief went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

Da bi a Dawid wɔ ɔbotan bi a ɛbɛn Adulam ɔbodan ho no, na Filistifo asraafo akyere nsraban wɔ Refaim bon mu. Baasa no a na wɔka Aduasa no a wonim de wɔ Dawid asraafo mu no sian kohyiaa no wɔ hɔ.

16 And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.

Saa bere no na Dawid te ɔko ahintawee mu hɔ a na Filistifo asraafokuw bi akɔtena Betlehem.

17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!

Dawid fi akɔnnɔ mu kae se, “Ao me kɔn dɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ abura a ɛwɔ Betlehem no bi; nea ɛbɛn ɔpon ano no bi.”

18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD,

Enti Baasa no bɔ wuraa Filistifo no mu, kɔsaw abura no mu nsu no bi de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso Dawid annom. Mmom, ohwie guu Awurade anim

19 and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

teɛɛ mu se, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom saa nsu yi. Ɛsom bo sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ afɔre kɔsaw brɛɛ me no mogya.” Enti Dawid annom. Eyi yɛ Baasa no mmaninsɛm no bi nhwɛso.

20 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.

Yoab nuabarima Abisai na na otua Aduasa no ano. Ɔko baako bi mu no, ɔde ne peaw kunkum atamfo no mu ahaasa. Saa mmaninsɛm yi nti na ogyee din sɛ Baasa no.

21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two and was made their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.

Abisai na na ne din ahyeta yiye wɔ Aduasa no mu sɛ wɔn sahene, nso na ɔnka Baasa no ho.

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia a ofi Kabseel no nso wɔ hɔ. Na ɔno nso di mmarimasɛm. Ɔyɛɛ bebree a emu baako ne sɛ okunkum Moab akofo akɛse baanu bi. Bere foforo bi nso, ɔtaa gyata maa aboa no kɔtɔɔ amoa mu. Na sukyerɛmma ama fam ayɛ toro nanso ɔkyeree gyata no kum no.

23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.

Da bi a na okura kontibaa nko ara no, okum Misraimni ɔkofo bi a na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na ne peaw no mu pipiripi te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua. Benaia huam peaw no fii Misraimni no nsam, de kum no.

24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.

Eyinom na Yehoiada babarima Benaia yɛe, ma ogyee din te sɛ Baasa no.

25 Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.

Wɔhyɛɛ no anuonyam sen nkae a wɔka Aduasa no ho no, nso na ɔmfra Baasa no mu. Na Dawid yɛɛ no ne ho awɛmfo no so sahene.

26 Also the mighty men of the armies; Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem;

Nnipa a na wɔka Dawid dɔmmarima no ho ni: Yoab nuabarima Asahel; Dodo babarima Elhanan a ofi Betlehem;

27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite;

Samot a ofi Harori; Heles a ofi Pelon;

28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite;
