24 ¹Bere a Saul fii Filistifo no taa mu san bae no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Dawid wɔ En-Gedi sare so.” ²Saul yii mmarima apaw 3,000 fii Israel nyinaa mu, kɔhwehwɛɛ Dawid ne ne mmarima no wɔ Mmirekyi Abotan no anim. ³Ɔduu nguan buw bi a ɛbɛn kwan no ho, faako a ɔbodan bi wɔ. Saul kɔɔ mu kɔgyaa ne ho; na Dawid ne ne mmarima no te ɔbodan no mu baabi a emu dɔ. ⁴Dawid mmarima no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnnɛ ne da a yɛn Agya kaa ho asɛm bere a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo se, ‘Merede wo tamfo ahyɛ wo nsa, na woayɛ no sɛnea wopɛ.’” Afei Dawid sɔree, kɔtwaa Saul atade ano kakra komm. ⁵Ɛno akyi no, Dawid tiboa buu no fɔ, efisɛ na watwa Saul atade ano no. ⁶Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmarima no se, “Yɛn Agya mma memfa saa ade yi nyɛ me wura, ne sraani no—sɛ memma me nsa so ntia no, efisɛ ɔno ne yɛn Agya sraani.” ⁷Saa nsɛm yi na Dawid de siw ne mmarima no kwan, na wɔantow ahyɛ Saul so. Afei Saul fii ɔbodan no mu kɔɔ ne kwan. ⁸Dawid sɔree fii ɔbodan no mu, frɛɛ Saul wɔ nʼakyi se, “Me wura, ɔhene!” Saul hwɛɛ nʼakyi, na Dawid butuw ne ho, de nʼanim kɔɔ fam.

⁹Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Adɛn nti na wotie nnipa a wɔka se, ‘Hwɛ, Dawid rehwehwɛ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wo bɔne’? ¹⁰Ɛnnɛ wʼani ahu sɛnea yɛn Agya de wo hyɛɛ me nsa wɔ ɔbodan no mu. Ebinom hyɛɛ me sɛ menkum wo, nanso mihuu wo mmɔbɔ, na mekae se, ‘Merempagya me nsa ntia me wura—yɛn Agya sraani no.’ ¹¹Hwɛ, mʼagya—wʼatade ano wɔ me nsam! Metwae, nanso manku wo. Hu na hwɛ sɛ bɔne anaa atuatew biara nni me nsam. Menyɛɛ bɔne biara ntiaa wo, nanso woretaa me nkwa sɛ wobɛgye. ¹²Yɛn Agya mmu me ne wo ntam atɛn, na yɛn Agya ntɔ me were wɔ wo so—nanso me nsa renka wo. ¹³Sɛnea tete abebu no ka se, ‘Amumɔyɛfo mu na amumɔyɛ fi ba.’ Me nsa rentia wo. ¹⁴Hena na Israel hene apue atia no? Hena na woretaa no? Ɔkraman funu? Ntɛtea koro? ¹⁵Yɛn Agya mmu me ne wo ntam atɛn, nhwɛ, nka mʼasɛm mma me, na ɔnnye me mfi wo nsam.”

¹⁶Bere a Dawid kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Saul wiei no, Saul kae se, “Wo nne ni, me ba Dawid?” na ɔteɛɛm sui. ¹⁷Ɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Woyɛ ɔtreneeni sen me; woyɛɛ me papa, na meyɛɛ wo bɔne. ¹⁸Ɛnnɛ woada papa a woyɛɛ me no adi: yɛn Agya de me hyɛɛ wo nsa, nanso woankum me. ¹⁹Sɛ onipa hu ne tamfo a, ɔbɛma no akɔ a ɔnyɛ no bɔne anaa? Yɛn Agya ntua wo ka pa wɔ nea woayɛ ama me nnɛ no ho. ²⁰Afei mahu sɛ ampa ara wobɛyɛ ɔhene, na Israel ahenni bɛtim wɔ wo nsam. ²¹Enti fa yɛn Agya din ka ntam kyerɛ me se: worentwa mʼasefo a wɔbɛba mʼakyi no ase, na worempepa me din mfi mʼagya fi.”

²²Dawid kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Saul. Saul kɔɔ fie; Dawid ne ne mmarima no foro kɔɔ abannennen no mu.
