2 Ɛhye anzi, Devidi bizale Gyihova+ kɛ: “Mengɔ Dwuda azuamgbole ne mɔ ko azo ɔ?” Gyihova zele ye kɛ: “Kɔ.” Akee Devidi bizale kɛ: “Nienwu a mengɔ a?” Ɔbuale kɛ: “Kɔ Hibulɔn.”+
2 Ɔti Devidi nee ɔ ye mɔ nwiɔ ne, Ahenoam+ mɔɔ vi Gyɛzeɛle la nee Abegɛle+ mɔɔ Kamɛlenli Neebale gyale ye bie la hɔle ɛkɛ.
3 Eza Devidi vale menli mɔɔ nee ye lua la,+ ko biala nee ye sua nu amra hɔle, na bɛdɛnlanle azua mɔɔ bikye Hibulɔn la azo.
4 Akee Dwuda mrenyia rale na bɛkpokpale Devidi kɛ Dwudama belemgbunli.+
Bɛzele Devidi kɛ: “Gyeebɛhye-geleade amra a ziele Sɔɔlo a.”
5 Yemɔti Devidi zoanle menli maanle bɛhɔle Gyeebɛhye-geleade amra ɛkɛ na bɛzele bɛ kɛ: “Gyihova ɛyila bɛ, ɔluakɛ bɛlale ɛlɔlɛ kpundii ali bɛhilele bɛ menle Sɔɔlo na bɛziele ye.+

10 Sɔɔlo ara Yehye-bɔhyɛte lile ɛvolɛ 40 la yɛɛ ɔrayɛle Yizilayɛ belemgbunli a, na ɔlile ebia ɛvolɛ nwiɔ. Noko Dwudama gyinlanle Devidi anzi.+
11 Mekɛ* mɔɔ Devidi vale lile Dwudama belemgbunli wɔ Hibulɔn la le ɛvolɛ nsuu siane nsia.+
12 Nzinlii, Nɛɛ ara Abenɛɛ nee Sɔɔlo ara Yehye-bɔhyɛte azonvolɛ ne mɔ vi Meehaneeyem+ hɔle Gebɛyɔn.+

14 Akee Abenɛɛ zele Dwowabe kɛ: “Maa mgbavolɛ ne mɔ ɛdwazo na bɛho* yɛ nyunlu ɛke.” Na Dwowabe hanle kɛ: “Maa bɛdwazo.”
15 Ɔti bɛdwazole bɛrale bɛ nyunlu na bɛdianle bɛ nwo, Bɛngyaman nee Sɔɔlo ara Yehye-bɔhyɛte menli ne le 12 yɛɛ Devidi azonvolɛ ne mɔ noko le 12.

18 Ɛnee Zɛluaya+ amra nsa ne—Dwowabe,+ Abehyae+ yɛɛ Asahɛle+ wɔ ɛkɛ; ɛnee Asahɛle agyakɛ abo yɛ ndɛ kɛ kɛtɛboɛ mɔɔ lua kpɔkɛ nu la.
19 Asahɛle voanle Abenɛɛ ndinlizo, na yeangakyi ɔ nwo yeangɔ bɛne zo anzɛɛ fema zo wɔ mekɛ mɔɔ ɔdoa Abenɛɛ la.
20 Mɔɔ Abenɛɛ dole ɔ nye ɔ nzi la, ɔbizale kɛ, “Ɛdawɔ Asahɛle ɔ?” na ɔbuale kɛ, “Ɛhɛe, medame ɔ.”
21 Akee Abenɛɛ zele ye kɛ: “Kakyi ɛ nwo kɔ bɛne zo anzɛɛ fema zo na kye mgbavolɛ ne mɔ ko na fa debie biala mɔɔ ɛkɛlie ɛkɛvi ye ɛkɛ la.” Noko Asahɛle angyakyi ye ɛvoanlɛ.
22 Ɔti Abenɛɛ zele Asahɛle bieko kɛ: “Gyakyi me ɛvoanlɛ. Duzu ati a ɔwɔ kɛ meku wɔ a? Kɛ ɔkɛyɛ na meahola ɛ diema Dwowabe anyunlu nea ɛ?”
23 Noko yeangyakyi ye ɛvoanlɛ, ɔti Abenɛɛ vale ye atwɛ ne abo ne wɔle ɔ ko abo+ na atwɛ ne vindele ɔ nzi; na ɔdɔle aze ɔwule ɛkɛ ne ala. Awie biala mɔɔ rale ɛleka mɔɔ Asahɛle dɔle aze na ɔwule la gyinlanle ɛkɛ ne ekyii.
24 Akee Dwowabe nee Abehyae voanle Abenɛɛ ndinlizo. Ɔka ekyii na sɛnzɛne ne ahɔdɔ la, bɛhɔdwule Aamaa boka ne mɔɔ nee Gaya anye bɔ zo wɔ Gebɛyɔn fienemgbole ne adenle ne azo la azo.

26 Akee Abenɛɛ deanle nu vɛlɛle Dwowabe kɛ: “Asoo yɛfa yɛ konle dadeɛ ne yɛahu yɛ nwo dahuu ɔ? Ɛnze kɛ mɔɔ bavi nu ara la bayɛ ngyegyelɛ kpole ɔ? Kenlenzu a ɛbaha wɔahile menli ne kɛ bɛgyakyi bɛ mediema ne mɔ ɛvoanlɛ a?”
27 Ɔti Dwowabe hanle kɛ: “Mekɛ ala mɔɔ nɔhalɛ Nyamenle ne de aze la, saa wɔandendɛ a, anrɛɛ kyesɛ ɛhyema nwonlomɔ na menli ne agyakyi bɛ mediema ne mɔ ɛvoanlɛ.”
28 Akee Dwowabe bɔle aweɛne ne, na ye menli ne gyakyile Yizilayɛma ɛvoanlɛ, na bɛgyakyile konle ne.
29 Akee Abenɛɛ nee ye menli ne hɔluale Alaba+ nɔe ne amuala na bɛhɔpɛle Dwɔdan ne na bɛluale bɔnza ne anu* na akee bɛrale Meehaneeyem.+
30 Mɔɔ Dwowabe gyakyile Abenɛɛ ɛvoanlɛ na ɔziale ɔ nzi la, ɔboɔboale menli ne amuala anloa. Ɛnee Devidi menli ne anu 19 nee Asahɛle ɛmboka nwolɛ.
