Ɛnte saa!” 3 Dawid kaa ntam wɔ Yonatan anim se, “Wʼagya nim yɛn ayɔnkofa yi mu pefee nti, waka wɔ ne tirim se, ‘Merenka nkyerɛ Yonatan.’ Nanso sɛnea AWURADE te ase na wote ase yi, anammɔn baako pɛ na ɛda me ne owu ntam.” 4 Na Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Nea wopɛ sɛ menyɛ mma wo biara no mɛyɛ.” 5 Dawid buae se, “Ɔkyena yebedi Ɔsram Foforo Afahyɛ. Bere biara, sɛ dapɔnna no du saa a, me ne ɔhene to nsa didi. Nanso ɔkyena de, mɛkora me ho wɔ wuram ara kosi ne nnansa so anwummere. 6 Na sɛ wʼagya hwehwɛ me a, ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Dawid srɛɛ kwan se ɔrekɔ ne kurom Betlehem, na ɔne ne fifo akɔbɔ afirihyia afɔre.’ 7 Sɛ ɔka se, ‘Eye’ a, wubehu sɛ wʼakoa ho sɔnn. Na sɛ nso ne bo fuw, gye hwanyan a, wubehu sɛ ɔrehyehyɛ ho sɛ obekum me. 8 Da saa adɔe yi adi kyerɛ me, sɛ adamfo a maka ntam adi nsew akyerɛ wo, efisɛ yɛn nyinaa wɔ apam wɔ AWURADE anim. Na sɛ ɛnte saa, na mayɛ bɔne atia wʼagya a, wo ara kum me. Nanso mesrɛ wo, nyi me mma.” 9 Yonatan teɛɛ mu se, “Ɛmpare me! Wo ara wunim sɛ, sɛ minim mʼagya nsusuwii no ho biribi a, anka maka akyerɛ wo dedaw.” 10 Na Dawid bisaa Yonatan se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mahu sɛ wʼagya bo afuw anaasɛ ne bo mfuw ɛ?” 11 Yonatan buae se, “Bra na yɛnkɔ wuram hɔ.” Na wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ hɔ. 12 Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Mehyɛ bɔ wɔ AWURADE Israel Nyankopɔn din mu sɛ ɔkyena akyi sesɛɛ me ne mʼagya bɛkasa, na mɛma woahu nea ɔka fa wo ho. Sɛ ɔwɔ wo ho adwene pa a meremma wo nkra biara. 13 Nanso sɛ mʼagya bo afuw, na ɔpɛ sɛ okum wo, na sɛ manka ankyerɛ wo amma woanguan a AWURADE ne minni no ɔyaw so. AWURADE nka wo ho sɛnea ɔkaa mʼagya ho no. 14 Na fa AWURADE nokware dɔ no bi dɔ me bere a mete ase yi. Na sɛ miwu, 15 na ɛba sɛ AWURADE twa Dawid atamfo nyinaa gu fi asase ani mpo a, nyi wʼadɔe mfi me fifo so da biara da.” 16 Enti Yonatan ne Dawid yɛɛ apam se, “AWURADE ne Dawid atamfo nni.” 17 Esiane ɔdɔ a Yonatan wɔ ma Dawid no nti, ɔmaa no tii ne ntam no mu, efisɛ na ɔdɔ no sɛnea ɔdɔ ɔno ankasa ho. 18 Afei, Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Ɔkyena na ɛyɛ ɔsram foforo afahyɛ no.
