1 Le Adame esi fiawo ƒe aʋawɔɣi ɖo la, Yoab nɔ ŋgɔ na asrafohawo. Ewɔ Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba wòtrɔ zu gbegbe eye woɖaɖe to ɖe Raba, ke David nɔ Yerusalem. Yoab dze Raba dzi eye wòwɔe wòzu aƒedo.
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab stroke Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 David ɖe fiakuku le woƒe fia, Milkom ƒe ta eye wotsɔe ɖɔ na Fia David. Fiakuku la ƒe kpekpeme anɔ sika kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye wotsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo atsyɔ nɛ. Woha afunyinu geɖe le du la me.
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 Ekplɔ dua me nɔlawo dzoe eye wode dɔ sesẽwo wɔwɔ asi na wo be woawɔ laxalaxadɔwo, fiwo kple fiadɔwo. David wɔ alea le Amonitɔwo ƒe duwo katã me. Emegbe David kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la gbugbɔ yi Yerusalem.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Egawɔ aʋa kple Filistitɔwo le Gezer, ke Sibekai, ŋutsu aɖe tso Husat, wu Sipai, si nye Refaim ƒe dzidzimeviwo dometɔ ɖeka ale Filistitɔwo na ta.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 Le aʋa bubu si wogawɔ kple Filistitɔwo me la, Elhanan, Yair ƒe vi, wu Lahmi, Goliat nɔvi, ame si ƒe akplɔti lolo abe ati si le avɔlɔ̃lawo ƒe agbati me ene.
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 Le aʋa bubu si wowɔ le Gat me la, ame dzɔtsu aɖe to asibidɛ ade ɖe asi ɖe sia ɖe kple afɔbidɛ ade ɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe, asibidɛawo kple afɔbidɛawo de blaeve-vɔ-ene. Eya hã nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimevi.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
7 Esi wòɖu fewu le Israel ŋu la, David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi, Yonatan wui.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 Ame siawo nye Rafa ƒe dzidzime viwo tso Gat eye wotsi David kple eƒe amewo ƒe asi me.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
