2 Samuel 10
1 Akyire no, Amonhene Nahas wuiɛ. Ne babarima Hanun na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
Forsothe it was doon aftir these thingis, that Naas, kyng of the sones of Amon, diede; and Anoon, his sone, regnede for hym. And Dauid seide,
2 Dawid kaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ Nahas babarima Hanun adɔeɛ, sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛɛ me adɔeɛ no.” Nʼagya wuo enti, Dawid tuu abɔfoɔ kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔmaa no hyɛden. Ɛberɛ a Dawid abɔfoɔ baa Amonfoɔ asase so no,
Y schal do mercy with Anon, the sone of Naas, as his fadir dide mercy with me. Therfor Dauid sente coumfortynge hym by hise seruauntis on the deeth of the fadir. Sotheli whanne the seruauntis of Dauid hadden come in to the lond of the sones of Amon,
3 Amonfoɔ atitire no kɔbisaa wɔn wura Hanun sɛ, “Wogye di sɛ ba a Dawid somaa nʼabɔfoɔ baa wo nkyɛn bɛmaa wo hyɛden no kyerɛ anidie ampa ara anaa? Wonnye nni sɛ Dawid somaa wɔn akwansra so, sɛ wɔmmɛhwɛ wo kuropɔn na wɔabɛtu agu?”
princes of the sones of Amon seiden to Anon, her lord, Gessist thou that for the onour of thi fadir Dauid sente coumfortouris to thee; and not herfor Dauid sente hise seruauntis to thee, that he schulde aspie, and enserche the citee, and distrie it?
4 Ɛno enti, Hanun kyeree Dawid abɔfoɔ no, yii obiara abɔgyesɛ fa, twitwaa wɔn ntadeɛ to mfimfini hɔ, tutuu mu, na wɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan, maa wɔde animguaseɛ kɔeɛ.
Therfor Anoon took the seruauntis of Dauid, and schauyde half the part of `the beerd of hem, and he kittide awey the myddil clothis of hem `til to the buttokis; and lefte hem.
5 Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Dawid amaneɛ no, ɔtuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔkɔhyiaa mmarima no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔguu wɔn anim ase yie. Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Montena Yeriko kɔsi sɛ mo abɔgyesɛ bɛfu ansa na moasane aba.”
And whanne this was teld to Dauid, he sente in to the comyng of hem, for the men weren schent ful vilensly. And Dauid comaundide to hem, Dwelle ye in Jerico, til youre beerd wexe, and thanne turne ye ayen.
6 Ɛberɛ a Amonfoɔ hunuu sɛ wɔahyɛ Dawid abufuo no, wɔkɔbɔɔ Aramfoɔ asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu paa firii Bet-Rehob ne Soba. Saa ara na Maakahene nso maa wɔn mmarima apem firii ne nkyɛn, na Tob nso wɔnyaa mmarima mpem dumienu.
Sotheli the sones of Amon sien, that thei hadden do wrong to Dauid, and thei senten, and hiriden bi meede Roob of Sirye, and Soba of Sirie, twenti thousynde of foot men, and of kyng Maacha, a thousynde men, and of Istob twelue thousynde of men.
7 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔsomaa Yoab ne nʼakofoɔ sɛ wɔne wɔn nkɔko.
And whanne Dauid hadde herd this, he sent Joab and al the oost of fiyteris.
8 Amonfoɔ no gyinaa wɔn kuro no ɛpono ano. Saa ɛberɛ no na Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri Soba ne Rehob ne mmarima a wɔfiri Tob ne Maaka no wɔ mfikyire baabiara retwɛn ɔtamfoɔ no.
Therfor the sones of Amon yeden out, and dressiden scheltrun bifor hem in the entryng of the yate. Forsothe Soba, and Roob of Sirie, and Istob, and Maacha weren asidis half in the feeld.
9 Ɛberɛ a Yoab hunuu sɛ ɔbɛko akofanu no, ɔyii akodɔm a wɔyɛ nnam. Ɔno ara dii wɔn so safohene, dii wɔn anim, kɔko tiaa Aramfoɔ no wɔ mfikyire hɔ.
Therfor Joab siy, that batel was maad redi ayens hym, bothe euene ayens and bihynde the bak; and he chees to hym silf of alle the chosun men of Israel, and ordeynede scheltrun ayens Sirus.
10 Ɔgyaa akodɔm a wɔaka no maa ne nuabarima Abisai sɛ ɔnkɔto nhyɛ Amonfoɔ no so.
Forsothe he bitook to Abisai, his brothir, the tother part of the puple, which dresside scheltrun ayens the sones of Amon.
11 Yoab ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarima no sɛ, “Sɛ Aramfoɔ no yɛ den dodo ma me a, ɛyɛ a, bɛboa me. Na sɛ Amonfoɔ no nso yɛ den dodo ma wo a, me nso, mɛba abɛboa wo.
And Joab seide, If men of Sirie han the maistrie ayens me, thou schalt be to me in to help; sotheli if the sones of Amon han the maistrie ayens thee, Y schal helpe thee;
12 Hyɛ wo ho den. Ma yɛmfa akokoɔduru nko nnye yɛn nkurɔfoɔ ne yɛn Onyankopɔn nkuro. Awurade pɛ nyɛ hɔ.”
be thou a strong man, and fiyte we for oure puple, and for the citee of oure God; forsothe the Lord schal do that, that is good in his siyt.
13 Ɛberɛ a Yoab ne nʼakodɔm to hyɛɛ Aramfoɔ no so no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwaneeɛ.
Therfor Joab and his puple that was with hym, bigan batel ayens men of Sirie, whiche fledden anoon fro his face.
14 Na Amonfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Aramfoɔ no redwane no, wɔdwane firii Abisai ho kɔhyɛɛ kuro no mu. Ɔko no guiɛ no, Yoab sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Forsothe the sones of Amon sien, that men of Sirie hadden fled; and thei fledden also fro the face of Abisai, and entriden in to the citee; and Joab turnede ayen fro the sones of Amon, and cam in to Jerusalem.
15 Afei, Aramfoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn afɛ ne Israelfoɔ. Enti, wɔboaa wɔn ho ano bio no.
Forsothe men of Sirye sien that thei hadden feld bifor Israel, and thei weren gaderid to gidere.
16 Aram akodɔm foforɔ bi bɛkaa wɔn ho a Hadadeser na ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfaa wɔn firii Asubɔnten Eufrate fa nohoa baeɛ. Saa akodɔm yi bɛduruu Helam a Sobak na na ɔyɛ wɔn ɔsahene, na ɔyɛ ɔsahene a ɔtua Hadadeser akodɔm nyinaa ano nso.
And Adadezer sente, and ledde out men of Sirie that weren biyende the flood, and he brouyte the oost of hem; sotheli Sobach, mayster of the chyualrie of Adadezer, was the prince of hem.
17 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee deɛ ɛreba no, ɔboaboaa Israel nyinaa ano, de wɔn twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, dii akodɔm no anim, kɔduruu Helam. Ɛhɔ na Aramfoɔ no fifirii wɔn mpasua so to hyɛɛ Dawid so.
And whanne this was teld to Dauid, he drow togidere al Israel, and passide Jordan, and cam in to Helama. And men of Sirie dressiden scheltrun ayens Dauid, and fouyten ayens hym.
18 Nanso, bio, Aramfoɔ no dwane firii Israelfoɔ no anim. Saa ɛberɛ yi, Dawid akodɔm no kunkumm nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ahanson ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ mpem aduanan a Sobak a na ɔyɛ wɔn sahene no ka ho.
And Sireis fledden fro the face of Israel; and Dauid killide of Sireis seuene hundrid charis, and fourti thousynde of knyytis; and he smoot Sobach, the prince of chyualrie, which was deed anoon.
19 Hadadeser ne nʼadɔmfoɔ Aramfoɔ hunuu sɛ Israel adi wɔn so nkonim no, wɔmaa wɔn nsa so, na wɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfoɔ nkoa. Ɛno akyi, Aramfoɔ suroo sɛ wɔbɛboa Amonfoɔ.
Forsothe alle kyngis, that weren in the help of Adadezer, siyen that thei weren ouercomun of Israel, and thei maden pees with Israel, and serueden hem; and Sireis dredden to yyue help to the sones of Amon.
