20 ¹Dawid guan fii Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama, kɔɔ Yonatan nkyɛn, na ɔkae se, “Dɛn na mayɛ? Dɛn ne me fɔdi, na bɔne bɛn na mayɛ wʼagya a enti ɔrehwehwɛ me nkwa?”

²“Da!” Yonatan buae se, “Worenwu. Mʼagya ka biribiara kyerɛ me, sɛ ɛyɛ kɛse anaa ketewa a. Adɛn nti na ɔde eyi besie me? Ɛnte saa.”

³Nanso Dawid kaa ntam bio se, “Wʼagya nim yiye sɛ wʼani gye me ho, na waka se, ‘Mma Yonatan nhu eyi, anyɛ saa a ne werɛ bɛhow.’ Nanso sɛ yɛn Agya te ase na wo nso wote ase yi, anammɔn baako pɛ na ɛda me ne owu ntam.”

⁴Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Biribiara a wopɛ no, mɛyɛ ama wo.”

⁵Dawid kae se, “Ɔkyena na ɔsram foforo afahyɛ; ɛsɛ sɛ me ne ɔhene no tena didi. Ma menkɔsuma wuram hɔ nkosi ɛda a ɛtɔ so abiɛsa no anwummere. ^a a v5 Ɔsram foforo afahyɛ no yɛ afahyɛ a wodi no ɔsram biara de hyɛ Hebrifo ɔsram da a edi kan no agyirae; wɔde afɔrebɔ soronko ne ɔmanfo aduandi a ɛwɔ ɔhene didipon so na edi no. ⁶Sɛ wʼagya hu sɛ minni hɔ a, ka se, ‘Dawid srɛɛ me kwan sɛ ɔnkɔ ne kurom Betlehem ntɛm, efisɛ ne abusua nyinaa rebɔ wɔn afe afe afɔre wɔ hɔ.’” ⁷Sɛ ɔka se, ‘Ɛyɛ,’ a, ɛno de, wo somfo ho tɔ no. Nanso sɛ ne bo fuw a, hu pɛpɛɛpɛ sɛ wasi nʼadwene pi sɛ ɔbɛyɛ me bɔne. ⁸Yi ayamye adi kyerɛ wo somfo, efisɛ wode me aka wo ho ayɛ apam wɔ yɛn Agya anim. Sɛ midi fɔ a, wo ankasa kum me; adɛn nti na wode me bɛma wʼagya?

⁹“Da!” Yonatan kae se, “Sɛ mihu sɛ mʼagya asi nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wo bɔne a, anka merenka nkyerɛ wo ana?”

¹⁰Dawid bisaa no se, “Sɛ wʼagya de abufuw bua wo a, hena na ɔbɛka akyerɛ me?”

¹¹“Bra,” Yonatan kae se, “ma yɛnkɔ wuram hɔ.” Enti wɔn baanu no kɔɔ hɔ. ¹²Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, nyɛ me danseni! Ɔkyena anaa nnansa so mɛhwehwɛ mʼagya adwene mu ahu; sɛ nʼani sɔ wo a, so merensoma nkɔka nkyerɛ wo ampa ana? ¹³Nanso sɛ mʼagya pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wo bɔne, na sɛ manka ankyerɛ wo amma woanguan ankɔ asomdwoe mu a, yɛn Agya ntwe mʼaso denneennen. Yɛn Agya ne wo ntena, sɛnea ɔne mʼagya tenae no. ¹⁴Nanso yi yɛn Agya adɔe a ɛnsa da no adi kyerɛ me bere a mete ase yi, na manwu. ¹⁵Ntwa wʼayamye mfi mʼabusua so da, bere mpo a yɛn Agya bɛtwa Dawid atamfo biara afi asase ani no.” ¹⁶Yonatan ne Dawid fi yɛɛ apam kae se, “Yɛn Agya mmisa Dawid atamfo ho akontaa.” ¹⁷Yonatan maa Dawid kaa ntam bio wɔ ɔdɔ a ɔwɔ ma no no ho, efisɛ ɔdɔɔ no sɛ ne kra. ¹⁸Afei Yonatan kae se, “Ɔkyena ne ɔsram foforo afahyɛ. Wɔbɛhwehwɛ wo, efisɛ wo tenabea bɛda mpan. ¹⁹Ɔkyena akyi, anwummere, sian ntɛm kɔ baabi a wosuma wɔ bere a ɔhaw yi fii ase no, na tena ɔbo Esel no ho. ²⁰Mɛtow agyan abiɛsa akɔ ne nkyɛn, te sɛ nea meretow ahwɛ biribi. ²¹Afei mɛsoma abarimaa no aka se, ‘Kɔ, kɔhwehwɛ agyan no.’ Sɛ meka kyerɛ no se, ‘Hwɛ, agyan no wɔ wo nkyɛn ha; fa bra,’ a, ɛno de bra; sɛ yɛn Agya te ase yi, wo ho tɔ wo, asiane biara nni hɔ. ²²Nanso sɛ meka kyerɛ abarimaa no se, ‘Hwɛ, agyan no wɔ wʼanim akyiri,’ a, kɔ, efisɛ yɛn Agya asoma wo kɔ. ²³Na asɛm a me ne wo aka ho no, kae sɛ yɛn Agya gyina me ne wo ntam sɛ odansefo daa.”

²⁴Enti Dawid kɔsuma wuram hɔ. Bere a ɔsram foforo afahyɛ no duu no, ɔhene no tenaa ase sɛ ɔredidi. ²⁵Ɔhene no tenaa nʼakongua a ɔtaa tena so no so wɔ ɔfasu ho, Yonatan tenaa nʼanim, Abner tenaa Saul nkyɛn, na Dawid tenabea daa mpan. ²⁶Saa da no Saul anka hwee, efisɛ osusuu se, “Biribi ato Dawid ama ne ho ntew wɔ mmara kwan so; ampa ara ne ho ntew.” ^b b v26 Sɛ obi ho ntew wɔ mmara kwan so a, ɛyɛ tebea a ɛnkyɛ — nneɛma pii a ɛtaa ba da biara na ɛde ba — a ɛsiw onipa kwan ma ontumi nni kronkron aduan anaa ɔnsom.

²⁷Ade kyee, ɔsram no da a ɛtɔ so abien no, Dawid tenabea daa mpan bio. Saul bisaa ne ba Yonatan se, “Adɛn nti na Yese ba no amma didi ɛnnora ne nnɛ?”

²⁸Yonatan buaa no se, “Dawid srɛɛ me denneennen sɛ memma ɔnkɔ Betlehem. ²⁹Ɔkae se, ‘Ma menkɔ, efisɛ yɛn abusua rebɔ afɔre wɔ kurom, na me nua ahyɛ me sɛ menkɔ hɔ. Sɛ wʼani gye me ho a, ma menkɔ nkɔhwɛ me nuanom.’ Ɛno nti na wamma ɔhene didipon so no.”

³⁰Saul bo fuw Yonatan kae se, “Ɔbaa kɔkɔnkɔkɔ ne otuatewfo ba! So minnim sɛ wo ne Yese ba no abɔ mu de agu wʼanim ase, na woagu wo na a ɔwoo wo no nso anim ase? ³¹Bere tenten a Yese ba no te asase so yi, wo ne wʼahenni nnyina pintinn. Soma kɔfa no bra me nkyɛn; ɛsɛ sɛ owu.”

³²Yonatan bisaa nʼagya se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no? Dɛn na wayɛ?”

³³Saul too ne pɛw guu no sɛ ɔde bɛkum no; enti Yonatan huu sɛ nʼagya asi nʼadwene pi sɛ ɔbɛkum Dawid. ³⁴Yonatan de abufuw a ano yɛ den sɔre fii didipon no ho, na wanni aduan biara ɔsram no da a ɛtɔ so abien no; ne werɛ howee wɔ Dawid ho, efisɛ nʼagya agu Dawid anim ase.

³⁵Anɔpa no, Yonatan kɔɔ wuram hɔ kohyiaa Dawid, na abarimaa ketewa bi ka ne ho. ³⁶Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼabarimaa no se, “Tu mmirika, kɔhwehwɛ agyan a metow no.” Bere a abarimaa no rebu mmirika no, Yonatan too agyan no ma ɛkɔɔ nʼanim akyiri. ³⁷Bere a abarimaa no duu baabi a agyan a Yonatan too no tɔe no, Yonatan teɛɛm frɛɛ no se, “Agyan no nni wʼanim akyiri ana?” ³⁸Yonatan teɛɛm frɛɛ abarimaa no se, “Yɛ ntɛm! Yɛ ntɛmntɛm! Nnyina!” Abarimaa no boaboaa agyan no ano de baa ne wura nkyɛn. ³⁹Abarimaa no anhu eyinom nyinaa ase koraa; Yonatan ne Dawid nko ara na wonim nea ɛkyerɛ. ⁴⁰Afei Yonatan de nʼakode maa abarimaa no, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, fa kɔ kurom.”

⁴¹Bere a abarimaa no kɔe no, Dawid sɔre fii ɔbo no anafo fam, kotow de nʼanim butuw fam, na ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase mprɛ abiɛsa. Afei wofefeew wɔn ho ano, na wɔn baanu nyinaa sui, na Dawid na osu sen. ⁴²Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu, efisɛ yɛn baanu nyinaa aka ntam wɔ yɛn Agya din mu se, ‘Yɛn Agya ne odansefo wɔ me ne wo ntam, ne wʼasefo ne me de ntam, daa.’” Afei Dawid sɔre kɔe; na Yonatan san kɔɔ kurom.
