1 Samuel 14 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

14 ¹Da bi, Saul ba Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ ne akodekurafo se, “Bra, ma yentwa nkɔ Filistifo nsraban a ɛwɔ yɛn anim hɔ no ho.” Nanso wanka ankyerɛ nʼagya. ²Saul tenaa Gibea ano wɔ atoaa dua ase wɔ Migron, na mmarima bɛyɛ ahansia ka ne ho. ³Ahitub ba Ahia, a ɔyɛ Ikabod nuabarima, Pinehas ba, Eli ba, yɛn Agya ɔsɔfo wɔ Silo no na ɔhyɛɛ asɔfotade no. Asraafo no anhu sɛ Yonatan afi hɔ. ^a a v3 Asɔfotade (efod) yɛ ɔsɔfo ntade soronko bi a wɔhyɛ bere a wɔrebisa Onyankopɔn akwankyerɛ no.

⁴Akwan a ɛda abotan ntam a Yonatan pɛe sɛ ɔfa so twa kɔ Filistifo nsraban no ho no, ɔbotan kɛse bi sii afa baako, na ɔbotan kɛse bi nso sii afa baako—wɔfrɛ baako Bosez, na wɔfrɛ baako nso Sene. ⁵Ɔbotan baako sii atifi fam a ɛhwɛ Mikmas, na baako nso sii anafo fam a ɛhwɛ Geba. ⁶Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ ne akodekurafo se, “Bra, ma yentwa nkɔ wɔn a wɔntwaa wɔn twetia yi nsraban ho. Ebia yɛn Agya bɛyɛ biribi ama yɛn; biribiara nsiw no kwan sɛ ɔde nnipa bebree anaa kakraa bi begye nkwa.”

⁷Ne akodekurafo no kae se, “Yɛ nea ɛwɔ wo koma mu nyinaa. Kɔ so—me ne wo na ɛwɔ hɔ, me koma ne me kra nyinaa.”

⁸Afei Yonatan kae se, “Yɛbɛtwa akɔ saa mmarima no nkyɛn, na yɛama wɔahu yɛn. ⁹Sɛ wɔka kyerɛ yɛn se, ‘Monnyina hɔ kosi sɛ yɛbɛduru mo nkyɛn’ a, yebegyina yɛn ananmu, na yɛremforo nkɔ wɔn nkyɛn. ¹⁰Nanso sɛ wɔka se, ‘Mommforo mmra yɛn nkyɛn’ a, yɛbɛforo akɔ, efisɛ yɛn Agya de wɔn ahyɛ yɛn nsa—ɛno ne yɛn nsɛnkyerɛnne.”

¹¹Wɔn baanu no daa wɔn ho adi kyerɛɛ Filistifo nsraban no. “Hwɛ,” Filistifo no kae se, “Hebrifo no refi ntokuru a wɔde wɔn ho hintaw mu no mu rewea aba.” ¹²Nsraban no mu mmarima no frɛɛ Yonatan ne ne akodekurafo no se, “Mommforo mmra yɛn nkyɛn na yɛnkyerɛ mo biribi.” Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ ne akodekurafo no se, “Foro di mʼakyi, efisɛ yɛn Agya de wɔn ahyɛ Israel nsa.”

¹³Yonatan de ne nsa ne ne nan foro kɔɔ soro, na ne akodekurafo no di nʼakyi; Filistifo no hwehwe ase wɔ Yonatan anim, na ne akodekurafo no kunkum wɔn wɔ nʼakyi. ¹⁴Saa ntua a edi kan no mu, Yonatan ne ne akodekurafo no kunkum mmarima bɛyɛ aduonu wɔ asase a ne kɛse bɛyɛ eka fã mu.

¹⁵Ehu kɛse bi kaa atenae no, afuw no ne asraafo no nyinaa; nsraban no mufo ne wɔn a wɔkɔ asehwe no nso popoe, na asase wosowee—ehu a efi yɛn Agya hɔ. ¹⁶Saul awɛmfo a wɔwɔ Gibea a ɛwɔ Benyamin no hwɛe—na Filistifo dɔm no rehwete, na wɔrebɔ apete akɔ baabiara. ¹⁷Saul ka kyerɛɛ nʼasraafo se, “Monkan nhwɛ nea onni hɔ.” Bere a wɔkan wiei no, na Yonatan ne ne akodekurafo no nni hɔ.

¹⁸Saul ka kyerɛɛ Ahia se, “Fa yɛn Agya adaka no bra ha,” efisɛ saa bere no na yɛn Agya adaka no ka Israelfo ho. ¹⁹Bere a Saul ne ɔsɔfo no rekasa no, Filistifo atenae no mu dede no kɔɔ soro sen kan. Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo no se, “Twe wo nsa.”

²⁰Saul ne nʼasraafo boaa wɔn ho ano, kɔduu ɔko no mu, na wohuu sɛ Filistifo no de wɔn akofena rekunkum wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ basabasayɛ kɛse mu. ²¹Hebrifo a kan no na wɔka Filistifo ho, na wɔne wɔn foro kɔɔ atenae no mu no nso sesaa wɔn ho bɛkaa Israelfo a wɔka Saul ne Yonatan ho no ho. ²²Bere a Israel mmarima a wɔde wɔn ho ahintaw Ɛfraim mmepɔw so no nyinaa tee sɛ Filistifo no aguan no, wɔn nso tiw wɔn denneennen wɔ ɔko no mu. ²³Enti yɛn Agya gyee Israel nkwa saa da no, na ɔko no kɔɔ so kɔtraa Bet-Awen.

Saul Ntam a Ɔde Ahopere Kae no Ma Israel Brɛɛ

²⁴Saa da no Israel asraafo no hyɛɛ ahokyere, efisɛ Saul ma wɔkaa ntam se, “Nnome nka obiara a obedi aduan ansa na anwummere aduru, ansa na matɔ were wɔ mʼatamfo so.” Asraafo no mu baako mpo anka aduan anhwɛ.

²⁵Asraafo no nyinaa kɔɔ kwae no mu, na ɛwoɔ gu fam. ²⁶Bere a wɔkɔɔ kwae no mu no, na ɛwoɔ resen, nanso obiara amfa ne nsa anka nʼano, efisɛ asraafo no suroo ntam no. ²⁷Nanso Yonatan ante sɛ nʼagya ama asraafo no aka ntam, enti ɔtenee nʼabaa ano, de wuraa ɛwoɔ kyɛmfɛ no mu, de ne nsa kaa nʼano, na nʼani hyerɛnee. ²⁸Asraafo no mu baako ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wʼagya ma asraafo no kaa ntam se, ‘Nnome nka obiara a obedi aduan nnɛ’—enti na mmarima no abrɛ yi.”

²⁹Yonatan kae se, “Mʼagya ama asase no ahu amane. Hwɛ sɛnea mʼani ahyerɛn efisɛ maka saa ɛwoɔ yi kakraa bi ahwɛ. ³⁰Sɛ anka asraafo no adi wɔn atamfo asade no bi nnɛ a, anka ɛbɛyɛ papa sen saa koraa! Afei Filistifo a wɔadi wɔn so no nyɛ kɛse.” ³¹Saa da no wɔkunkum Filistifo no fi Mikmas kosii Aiyalon, na asraafo no brɛɛ koraa. ³²Asraafo no de ahopere tow hyɛɛ asade no so, kyekyeree nguan, anantwi ne nantwi mma, kunkum wɔn wɔ fam, na wodii nam no ne mogya a ɛwɔ mu. ³³Obi ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Asraafo no reyɛ bɔne atia yɛn Agya, efisɛ wɔredi nam a mogya da so wɔ mu.” “Moabu nokwaredi so,” ɔkae se. “Mompirew ɔbotan kɛse bi mmra me nkyɛn ha.”

³⁴Afei ɔkae se, “Mommɔ mu nkɔ asraafo no mu, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn se: obiara mfa ne nantwi anaa ne odwan mmrɛ me, na onkum no wɔ ha, na onni—mommfa nam a mogya wɔ mu nni nyɛ bɔne ntia yɛn Agya.” Enti saa anadwo no, obiara de ne nantwi bae, na okum no wɔ hɔ.

³⁵Saul sii afɔremuka maa yɛn Agya—ne afɔremuka a edi kan a osii maa no. ³⁶Saul kae se, “Momma yɛnsian nkɔ Filistifo no akyi anadwo yi, na yɛmfow wɔn nneɛma nkosi ahemadakye, na yɛmma wɔn mu baako mpo nka nkwa mu.” Wɔbuaa no se, “Yɛ nea ɛyɛ wo papa.” Nanso ɔsɔfo no kae se, “Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn Agya anim wɔ ha.”

³⁷Enti Saul bisaa yɛn Agya se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mesian kɔ Filistifo no akyi anaa? Wode wɔn bɛhyɛ Israel nsa anaa?” Nanso wamma no mmuae biara saa da no. ³⁸Saul kae se, “Mommra ha, mo asraafo no mpanyimfo nyinaa, na momma yɛnhwehwɛ nhu sɛnea saa bɔne yi bae nnɛ. ³⁹Sɛ yɛn Agya a ogye Israel nkwa no te ase yi—sɛ mpo bɔne no wɔ me ba Yonatan so a, obewu ampa.” Nanso nnipa no mu obiara annye no so. ⁴⁰Ɔka kyerɛɛ Israel nyinaa se, “Monnyina afa baako; me ba Yonatan ne me nso begyina afa baako.” Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Yɛ nea wugye di sɛ ɛyɛ papa.”

⁴¹Saul bɔɔ mpae se, “Yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, adɛn nti na wommuaa wo somfo nnɛ? Sɛ saa bɔne yi wɔ me anaa me ba Yonatan so a, yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, fa Urim bua; na sɛ ɛwɔ wo nkurɔfo Israel so a, fa Tumim bua.” Ntonto no tɔɔ Yonatan ne Saul so, na asraafo no ho dii bem. ^b b v41 Urim ne Tumim yɛ nneɛma kronkron a na ɛwɔ ɔsɔfo no asɔfotade mu, na wɔde to ntonto de hwehwɛ Onyankopɔn mmuae.

⁴²Saul kae se, “Monto ntonto wɔ me ne me ba Yonatan ntam.” Ntonto no tɔɔ Yonatan so.

⁴³Saul ka kyerɛɛ Yonatan se, “Ka nea woayɛ kyerɛ me.” Ɔbuaa no se, “Mede mʼabaa ano kaa ɛwoɔ kakraa bi hwɛɛ ara kwa. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ miwu.”

⁴⁴Saul kae se, “Sɛ wo, Yonatan, anwu ampa a, yɛn Agya nyɛ me saa, na ɔmfa bi nka ho mpo.”

⁴⁵Asraafo no ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Yonatan wu—ɔno a wadi nkonim kɛse yi ama Israel no? Ɛnte saa da! Sɛ yɛn Agya te ase yi, ne ti nhwi baako mpo rentɔ fam, efisɛ yɛn Agya mmoa na ɔde yɛɛ eyi nnɛ.” Enti wogyee Yonatan, na wanwu. ⁴⁶Afei Saul gyaee Filistifo no akyi a na ɔtaa no, na Filistifo no san kɔɔ wɔn ankasa asase so.

Saul Akodi ne Ne Fiefo

⁴⁷Bere a Saul dii Israel so hene no, ɔko tiaa nʼatamfo nyinaa a wɔatwa no ho ahyia: Moab, Amon, Edom, Soba ahemfo ne Filistifo. Baabiara a ɔdan kɔɔ no, odii wɔn so. ⁴⁸Ɔde akokoduru koe, kunkum Amalekfo, na ɔgyee Israel fii wɔn a na wɔfow wɔn nneɛma no nsam. ⁴⁹Saul mmabarima ne: Yonatan, Isvi ne Malkisua.

Nʼakofo sahene ne: Abner, Ner ba, a ɔyɛ Saul agya nua, ⁵¹efisɛ Kis, Saul agya, ne Ner, Abner agya, yɛ Abiel mma.

⁵²Saul nkwa nna nyinaa mu no, ɔko a ɔne Filistifo dii no yɛɛ den; bere biara a ohuu ɔbarima a ne ho yɛ den anaa ɔyɛ ɔkokodurufo no, ɔfaa no kaa ne ho.
