Saul Kunkum Agya no Asɔfo

⁶Saul tee sɛ wɔahu Dawid ne ne mmarima no. Na Saul te Gibea wɔ pepea dua bi ase wɔ koko so, ne peaw kura ne nsa mu, na ne nkoa nyinaa gyinagyina ne ho hyia. ⁷Saul ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa a wɔgyinagyina ne ho no se, “Montie, mo Benyaminfo! Yisai ba no bɛde mfuw ne bobe nturo ama mo nyinaa ana? Ɔbɛma mo nyinaa ayɛ mpempem so asahene ne ɔhaha so asahene ana, ⁸sɛ moabɔ me ho pɔw nyinaa?

⁹Edomni Doeg a ɔne Saul nkoa no gyina hɔ no kae se, “Mehunuu sɛ Yisai ba no baa Nob, Ahitub ba Ahimelek nkyɛn. ¹⁰Ahimelek bisaa Awurade asɛm maa no, na ɔde akwanduan ne Filistini Goliat akofena no maa no.”

¹¹Ɔhene no frɛɛ ɔsɔfo Ahimelek, Ahitub ba, ne nʼagya abusua nyinaa, asɔfo a wɔwɔ Nob no, na wɔn nyinaa baa ɔhene no nkyɛn. ¹²Saul kae se, “Afei tie, Ahitub ba.” Ɔbuaa se, “Me ni, me wura.”

¹³Saul bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne Yisai ba no abɔ me ho pɔw? Wode abodoo ne akofena maa no, na wobisaa Onyankopɔn maa no, sɛnea ɔbɛsɔre atia me na watɛ me akwan so, sɛnea ɔyɛ nnɛ yi.”

Daabi koraa! Mma ɔhene mmfa biribiara ntoto ne somfo so—anaa mʼagya fiefo nyinaa so—efisɛ wo somfo nnim saa nneɛma yi mu biara, ketewa anaa kɛse.”

¹⁶Nanso ɔhene no kae se, “Wobɛwu ampa, Ahimelek, wo ne wʼagya fiefo nyinaa.” ¹⁷Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ awɛmfo a wɔgyinagyina ne nkyɛn no se, “Monnane mo ho nkunkum yɛn Agya asɔfo no, efisɛ wɔn nso wɔne Dawid bom; wɔhunuu sɛ ɔreguan, nanso wɔanka ankyerɛ me.” Nanso ɔhene no nkoa no ampɛ sɛ wɔbɛma wɔn nsa so atia yɛn Agya asɔfo no.

¹⁸Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Doeg se, “Dane wo ho na kunkum asɔfo no.” Edomni Doeg danee ne ho kunkum wɔn, na da no okunkum mmarima aduowɔtwe anum a wɔhyɛ efod a wɔde nwera ayɛ.
