Beresosɛm Nhoma a Edi Kan 11:1-47
11 Akyiri yi, Israelfo nyinaa behyiaa Dawid wɔ Hebron+ bɛkae sɛ: “Hwɛ, yɛyɛ wo dompe ne wo honam.*+
2 Efi tete a Saul di hene nyinaa, wo na na wudi Israel anim de wɔn kɔ ɔko;*+ ɛnna Yehowa wo Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, ‘Wo na wobɛyɛn me man Israel, na wo na wubedi me man Israel anim.’”+
3 Enti Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa baa ɔhene nkyɛn wɔ Hebron, na Dawid ne wɔn yɛɛ apam Yehowa anim wɔ Hebron. Ɛnna wɔsraa Dawid de no sii Israel so hene+ sɛnea Yehowa nam Samuel so kae no.+
4 Ɛno akyi no, Dawid ne Israel nyinaa siim kɔɔ Yerusalem, kyerɛ sɛ, Yebus;+ ɛhɔ na na Yebusifo+ no te.
5 Ɛnna nkurɔfo a wɔte Yebus no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ: “Worentumi mma ha da!”+ Nanso, Dawid ko faa Sion abannennen+ a seesei wɔfrɛ hɔ Dawid Kurow+ no.
6 Ná Dawid aka sɛ: “Obiara a obedi kan akɔtow ahyɛ Yebusifo so no, ɔbɛyɛ ɔsahene* ne otitiriw.” Seruia ba Yoab+ na odii kan kɔe, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔsahene.
7 Afei Dawid kɔtenaa abannennen no mu. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ Dawid Kurow no.
8 Ofii ase sisii adan wɔ kurow no mu fi Esiw no* so de twaa ho hyiae, na Yoab nso siesiee mmeae a aka wɔ kurow no mu.
9 Enti Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ den,+ na asafo Yehowa dii n’akyi.
10 Eyinom ne Dawid akatakyi mu atitiriw. Wɔn na wɔne Israel nyinaa taa n’akyi denneennen wɔ n’ahenni mu; wosii no hene sɛnea Yehowa asɛm a ɔkae wɔ Israel ho no te.+
11 Dawid akatakyi no din ni: Yasobeam+ a ɔyɛ Hakmoni aseni; ɔno ne baasa no so panyin.+ Ɔno na ogyinaa ne nan so de peaw kunkum nnipa 300 da koro.+
12 Ahohi+ aseni Dodo ba Eleasar+ na odi hɔ. Ɔka akatakyi baasa no ho.
13 Ɔno na na ɔka Dawid ho wɔ Pas-Damim,+ faako a na Filistifo aboaboa wɔn ho ano rebedi ako no. Ná asaase bi da hɔ a baali* ayɛ so ma, na Filistifo no nti, na nkurɔfo no aguan afi hɔ.
14 Nanso ɔtew gyinaa asaase no mfinimfini kunkum Filistifo no de bɔɔ asaase no ho ban; Yehowa ma wodii nkonim* kɛse.+
15 Atitiriw 30 no mu baasa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Adulam ɔbodan+ no mu wɔ ɔbotan so, bere a na Filistifo no akɔsoɛ Refaim Bon+ no mu.*
16 Saa bere no, na Dawid wɔ abannennen no mu, na na Filistifo asraafodɔm nso wɔ Betlehem.
17 Ɛnna Dawid kae sɛ: “O minya Betlehem+ kurow pon ano abura mu nsu a, anka mɛnom!”
18 Ɛhɔ ara na baasa no de anuɔden bɔ wuraa Filistifo asoɛe no mu, na wɔkɔsaw Betlehem kurow pon ano abura mu nsu, na wɔde brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso Dawid annom, na mmom ohwie guu fam maa Yehowa.
19 Na ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛhwɛ me Nyankopɔn anim ayɛ saa! Mmarima a wɔde wɔn nkwa* too wɔn nsam yi mogya na mennom anaa?+ Wɔn nkwa* na wɔde too wɔn nsam kɔsaw bae.” Enti wannom. Eyi ne nea n’akatakyi baasa no yɛe.
20 Yoab+ nua Abisai+ nso, na ɔyɛ baasa foforo so panyin. Ɔno na ogyinaa ne nan so de peaw kunkum nnipa 300; ná wagye din te sɛ baasa no.+
21 Baasa no mu no, ɔno na na wagye din kɛse, na na ɔno ne wɔn so panyin, nanso wanto baasa a wodi kan no.
22 Yehoiada ba Benaia+ yɛ ɔkokodurufo* a ɔyɛɛ nneɛma pii wɔ Kabseel.+ Okum Moabni Ariel mma mmarima baanu no, na da bi a na sukyerɛmma atɔ nso, osian kɔɔ abura mu kokum gyata bi.+
23 Ɔno ara nso na okokum Egyptni ɔbran bi a ne tenten yɛ basafa anum*+ no. Ná Egyptni no kura peaw bi a ne kɛse te sɛ ntamanwemfo dua kɛse;+ nanso ɔde abaa kɔɔ Egyptni no so kohwim peaw no fii ne nsam, na ɔde peaw no kum no.+
24 Saa nneɛma yi na Yehoiada ba Benaia yɛe, na ogyee din te sɛ akatakyi baasa no.
25 Ná wagye din sen aduasa no mpo, nanso wanto baasa a wodi kan no.+ Ne nyinaa akyi, Dawid de no sii n’awɛmfo so panyin.
