2 Samuel 18
1 David loh amah taengkah pilnam te a soep tih amih te thawngkhat kah mangpa, yakhat kah mangpa a khueh pah.
Afei, Dawid yiyii asahene ne asafohene dii nʼakofo anim.
2 David loh pilnam hlop thum ah hlop at te Joab kut hmuiah, hlop thum ah hlop at te Joab mana Zeruiah capa Abishai kut hmuiah, hlop thum ah hlop at Ghitti Ittai kut hmuiah hlop at, a tueih. Te vaengah manghai loh pilnam te, “Kamah khaw nangmih taengah ka pawk rhoe ka pawk bitni,” a ti nah.
Yoab na na otua wɔn mu nkyemu abiɛsa mu baako ano. Yoab nuabarima Abisai a na ɔyɛ Seruia babarima na na otua nkyemu abiɛsa mu baako nso ano. Ɛnna nkyemu abiɛsa mu baako a aka no, Gatni Itai na na otua ano. Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ nʼakofo no se, “Me ne mo na ɛrekɔ.”
3 Tedae pilnam loh, “Cet boeh, rhaelrham khaw n'rhaelrham uh koinih mamih taengah lungbuei khueh hae mahpawh. Mamih khuikah he rhakthuem duek uh cakhaw mamih taengah lungbuei khueh uh mahpawh. Mamih bang mah thawng rha lo coeng. Te dongah khopuei lamloh a bom la nan bom ham te kaimih ham hnothen la om coeng,” a ti nah.
Nanso ne mmarima no tiaa mu denneennen se, “Ɛnsɛ se wokɔ bi. Na sɛ ɛba sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yegyae, na yeguan, na sɛ mpo, yɛn mu fa koraa wuwu a, ɛrennu Absalom asraafo no ho hwee. Wo ara na wɔbɛhwehwɛ. Wo nko ara yɛ yɛn mu mpem du, enti eye sɛ wobɛtena kurom na sɛ mmoa bi ho hia yɛn a, wode bɛba.”
4 Amih te manghai loh, “Nangmih mikhmuh ah a then te ka saii bitni,” a ti nah. Manghai te vongka kaep ah a pai vaengah pilnam boeih te yakhat ah, thawngkhat ah khong uh.
Ɔhene penee so se, “Sɛ modwene sɛ ɛno ne adwene pa de a, mate.” Enti okogyinaa kurow no pon ano, bere a asraafo no rekɔ no.
5 Manghai loh Joab, Abishai, Ittai te a uen tih, “Camoe taeng neh Abslom taengah khaw, kai ham tah hoelh hoelh ah ne,” a ti nah. Manghai loh mangpa taengah Absalom kawng neh rhip a uen te pilnam loh boeih a yaak.
Na ɔhene no hyɛɛ Yoab, Abisai ne Itai se, “Me nti mo ne abofra Absalom nni no bɔkɔɔ.” Na asraafo no nyinaa tee saa ɔhyɛ a ɔhene hyɛɛ nʼasafohene no.
6 Te vaengah pilnam tah Israel te cuuk thil hamla lohma la khong uh. Te vaengah Ephraim duup ah caemtloek om coeng.
Enti ɔko no fii ase wɔ Efraim kwae mu.
7 Israel pilnam he David sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pahoi yawk uh coeng. Te vaeng hnin ah thawng kul te lucik la muep om uh.
Na Dawid mmarima no yɛɛ Israel asraafo no pasaa. Ɛyɛ afoa ano kum, na da no, mmarima mpem aduonu na wɔhweree wɔn nkwa.
8 Caemtloek te diklai hman tom ah taekyak la taekyak. Tekah khohnin ah cunghang loh a yoop lakah duup loh a yoop pilnam te yet ngai.
Ɔko no didi kɔɔ nkurow so, na esiane kwae no nti, nnipa pii wuwu sen wɔn a wowuwuu wɔ afoa ano no.
9 Absalom loh David kah sal rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a mah. Te vaengah Absalom te muli-marhang dongah ngol tih muli-marhang loh rhokael bu talulh hmuiah a kun puei. Tedae a lu te rhokael dongah vik kingkaek tih vaan laklo neh diklai laklo ah sut dingkoei. Te vaengah ah a hmuikah muli-marhang loh vik a yong tak.
Ɔko no gyina mu no, Absalom puee prɛko pɛ wɔ Dawid mmarima no bi mu. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ oguan wɔ nʼafurumpɔnkɔ so, nanso oguan kɔfaa ɔdɔtɔ bi mu wɔ odum bi ase. Ɔdɔtɔ no kyekyeree ne tinwi, ma ɔkaa mu. Nʼafurumpɔnkɔ no de, na kɔ ara na ɔrekɔ enti, ogyaw no hɔ a, ɔsensɛn ɔdɔtɔ no mu a ɔretow donko wɔ wim.
10 Hlang pakhat loh a hmuh vaengah Joab taengah puen tih, “Absalom tah rhokael dongah a kuiok ka hmuh he,” a ti nah.
Dawid mmarima no baako huu asɛm a asi no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Mihuu Absalom sɛ ɔsensɛn dua bi so wɔ ɔdɔtɔ mu.”
11 Te dongah Joab loh amah taengla aka puen hlang te, “Na hmuh tarha mai, balae tih anih te diklai la na ngawn pahoi pawh, te koinih ka pum dongkah tangka phikrha neh hni pakhat he nang kam paek suidae,” a ti nah.
Yoab bisae se, “Asɛm pa ara? Wuhuu no na woankum no? Anka mɛma wo dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunan ne akokoduru nkyekyeremu sɛ siade.”
12 Te hlang loh Joab taengah, “Kai loh ka kut dongah tangka thawngkhat ka thuek pawt mai akhaw, manghai loh mamih hna ah namah khaw, Abishai neh Ittai taengah ah khaw, 'Absalom camoe te ngaithuen uh,’ a ti tih ng'uen dongah manghai capa te ka kut ka hlah thil mahpawh.
Ɔbarima no buae se, “Sɛ anka wobɛma me dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa koraa a, anka merenyɛ saa. Yɛn nyinaa tee sɛ, ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wo, Abisai ne Itai se, ‘Me nti, obiara nnyɛ aberante Absalom bɔne.’
13 A hinglu te ka saii pah koinih ka hinglu he a honghi ni. Te dongah manghai taengah tah olka pakhat khaw phah mahpawh, namah khaw a hmaiah na pai van ni,” a ti nah.
Na sɛ mibu ɔhene asɛm so kum ne babarima a, anka nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, ɔhene bɛhwehwɛ nea ɔyɛɛ saa. Na anka wʼankasa ne onipa a anka wubeyi me ama.”
14 Tedae Joab loh, “Na mikhmuh ah ka rhing voel mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a kut dongah mancai pathum te a khuen tih rhokael bangli ah a hing la aka bat Absalom te a lungkoe ah hlut a daeng.
Yoab kae se, “Merentwentwɛn me nan ase mma wo wɔ eyi ho.” Enti, ɔtwee mpɛmɛ abiɛsa de wowɔɔ Absalom koma mu bere a na ɔsensɛn odum no so a na onwui no.
15 Joab kah hnopai aka phuei cadong parha loh a vael tih Absalom te a ngawn uh dongah a duek sakuh.
Yoab akodekurafo no mu mmerante du twaa Absalom ho hyiae, na wokum no.
16 Te phoeiah Joab loh tuki a ueng thil tih pilnam te Joab loh a hloh coeng dongah pilnam loh Israel hnuk aka hloem te a toeng.
Na Yoab hyɛn torobɛnto, maa asraafo no gyaee Israel taa.
17 Absalom te a loh uh tih duup kah rhom a len khuiah a voeih uh. Te phoeiah anih te lungkuk lung a len la muep a hmoek thil uh. Israel pum te khaw amah, amah kah dap la boeih rhaelrham uh.
Wɔfaa Absalom amu no tow kyenee amoa donkudonku bi mu wɔ kwae mu hɔ, na wɔsoaa abotan guu ne so. Na Israelfo no nyinaa guan kɔɔ wɔn afi.
18 Absalom loh, “Ka ming aka thoelh ham ca ka khueh pawh,” a ti dongah amah a hing vaengah amah ham lungpang pakhat te manghai kol ah a thoh. Te dongah lungpang te anih ming a phom thil tih tihnin duela Absalom ngolbuel a khue.
Bere a Absalom te ase no, osii nkaedum bi wɔ ɔhene bon mu de kaee ɔno ara ne ho, efisɛ ɔdwenee se, “Minni ɔbabarima biara a ɔbɛyɛ nkae ade biara de akae me din.” Ɔde nkaedum no too ne ho, na wɔfrɛ no Absalom Nkaedum de besi nnɛ.
19 Te vaengah Zadok capa Ahimaaz loh, “BOEIPA loh a thunkha kut lamloh anih a tang sak te ka yong laeh vetih manghai taengah ka phong laeh mako,” a ti.
Na Sadok babarima Ahimaas kae se, “Momma mintu mmirika nkɔbɔ ɔhene amanneɛ sɛ, Awurade ayi no afi atamfo nsam.”
20 Tedae anih te Joab loh, “Tihnin nang he olthangthen aka khuen hlang moenih, a tloe khohnin ah na phong bitni, tihnin ah phong boel dae manghai capa he duek pueng,” a ti nah.
Na Yoab nso ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ ɔhene ba awu a, ɛnyɛ asɛm papa mma no. Wubetumi akɔbɔ saa amanneɛ no da foforo bi, na ɛnyɛ nnɛ.”
21 Te phoeiah Joab loh Kushi te, “Na hmuh taengtae te cet lamtah manghai taengah thui pah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Kushi loh Joab te a bawk tih yong.
Na Yoab ka kyerɛɛ Kusni bi se, “Kɔ na kɔka nea woahu no kyerɛ ɔhene.” Ɛhɔ ara na Kusni no bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Yoab anim, na otuu mmirika kɔe.
22 Zadok capa Ahimaaz loh koep a rhaep tih Joab taengah, “Metlam khaw om mai saeh, Kushi hnukah ka yong van mai eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae Joab loh, “Ka ca na yong te ba ham lae? Olthangthen te na dang hae moenih,” a ti nah.
Bio, Sadok babarima Ahimaas ka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Nea ɛbɛba biara mmra, ma me ne Kusni no nkɔ.” Nanso Yoab bisaa no se, “Me ba, adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ? Wunni amanneɛbɔ biara a ɛbɛma wo abasobɔde biara.”
23 Tedae, “Metlam khaw om mai saeh ka yong ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Yong laeh,” a ti nah. Ahimaaz tah vannaem longpuei ah yong tih Kushi te a khal coeng.
Ɔkae se, “Mepene so, nanso ma menkɔ.” Enti Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ!” Na Ahimaas faa tataw no so kɔ kotwaa Kusni no ho.
24 Te vaengah David te vongka rhoi laklo ah ngol. Te vaengah rhaltawt te vongtung longah vongka imphu la cet. A mik te a huel tih a sawt hatah hlang pakhat te amah bueng tarha a yong pah.

27 Rhaltawt loh, “Lamhma la aka yong te Zadok capa Ahimaaz kah a yong bangla ka hmuh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah manghai loh, “Anih te hlang then ni, olthangthen neh a then la ha pawk coeng,” a ti.
Ɔwɛmfo no kae se, “Ɔbarima a odi kan no sɛ Sadok babarima Ahimaas.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Ɔyɛ onipa pa a, ɔde asɛm pa nam.”
28 Ahimaaz te a khue hatah manghai te, “Ngaimong la,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah manghai hmaiah a maelhmai te diklai la a bakop pah. Te phoeiah, “Ka boei manghai mai a kut aka thueng thil hlang rhoek te na kut dongah aka det BOEIPA na Pathen tah a yoethen pai,” a ti nah.
Na Ahimaas teɛɛ mu, frɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Biribiara ye!” Ɔkotow wɔ ɔhene no anim, de nʼanim butuw fam kae se, “Anuonyam nka Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn. Ɔde nnipa a wɔyɛɛ adɔm tiaa me wura ɔhene ahyɛ ne nsa.”

Ɔhene bisae se, “Na aberante, Absalom ho ye ana?” Ahimaas buae se, “Bere a Yoab yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsoma ɔhene somfo ne me wo somfo no, mihuu sɛ nneɛma ayɛ basaa a na minhu mu yiye.”
30 Te dongah manghai loh, “Hela hoeih pai lah,” a ti nah tih hoeih pai tangloeng.
Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyina nkyɛn ha na twɛn.” Enti ogyinaa nkyɛn twɛnee.
