2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was a long war between Saul's people and David's people; and David became stronger and stronger, but those on Saul's side became more and more feeble.
Ogun náà sì pẹ́ títí láàrín ìdílé Saulu àti ìdílé Dafidi: agbára Dafidi sì ń pọ̀ sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìdílé Saulu ń rẹ̀yìn sí i.
2 While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
Dafidi sì bí ọmọkùnrin ní Hebroni: Amnoni ni àkọ́bí rẹ̀ tí Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli bí fún un.
3 And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
Èkejì rẹ̀ sì ni Kileabu, tí Abigaili aya Nabali ará Karmeli bí fún un; ẹ̀kẹta sì ni Absalomu ọmọ tí Maaka ọmọbìnrin Talmai ọba Geṣuri bí fún un.
4 And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
Ẹ̀kẹrin sì ni Adonijah ọmọ Haggiti; àti ẹ̀karùnún ni Ṣefatia ọmọ Abitali;
5 And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.
Ẹ̀kẹfà sì ni Itreamu, tí Egla aya Dafidi bí fún un. Wọ̀nyí ni a bí fún Dafidi ni Hebroni.
6 Now while there was war between Saul's people and David's people, Abner was making himself strong among the supporters of Saul.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ogun wà láàrín ìdílé Saulu àti ìdílé Dafidi, Abneri sì dì alágbára ní ìdílé Saulu.
7 Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife?
Saulu ti ní àlè kan, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Rispa, ọmọbìnrin Aiah: Iṣboṣeti sì bi Abneri léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wọlé tọ àlè baba mi lọ.”
8 And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.
Abneri sì bínú gidigidi nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ti Iṣboṣeti sọ fún un, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi jẹ́ bí orí ajá ti Juda bí? Di òní yìí ni mo ṣàánú fún ìdílé Saulu baba rẹ, àti fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti fún àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, tí èmi kò sì fi ọ́ lé Dafidi lọ́wọ́, ìwọ sì kà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí mí lọ́rùn nítorí obìnrin yìí lónìí?
9 May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe Abneri, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí Olúwa ti búra fún Dafidi, bí èmi kò ní ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ fún un.
10 And if I do not take away the kingdom from the family of Saul and make David ruler over Israel and Judah from Dan as far as Beer-sheba!
Láti mú ìjọba náà kúrò ní ìdílé Saulu, àti láti gbé ìtẹ́ Dafidi kalẹ̀ lórí Israẹli, àti lórí Juda, láti Dani títí ó fi dé Beerṣeba.”
11 And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer.
Òun kò sì lè dá Abneri lóhùn kan nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
12 And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.
Abneri sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ sí Dafidi nítorí rẹ̀ wí pé, “Ti ta ni ilẹ̀ náà ń ṣe? Bá mi ṣe àdéhùn, èmi yóò si kó gbogbo Israẹli tọ̀ ọ́ wá.”
13 And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.
Òun sì wí pé, “Ó dára, èmi ó bá ọ ṣe àdéhùn, ṣùgbọ́n ohun kan ni èmi ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, èyí ni pé, ìwọ kì yóò rí ojú mi, àfi bí ìwọ bá kọ́ mú Mikali ọmọbìnrin Saulu wá, nígbà tí ìwọ bá wá, láti rí ojú mi.”
14 And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.
Dafidi sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu pé, “Fi Mikali obìnrin mi lé mi lọ́wọ́, ẹni tí èmi ti fi ọgọ́rùn-ún awọ iwájú orí àwọn Filistini fẹ́.”
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
Iṣboṣeti sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì gbà á lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin tí a ń pè ní Paltieli ọmọ Laiṣi.
16 And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back.
Ọkọ rẹ̀ sì ń bà a lọ, ó ń rìn, ó sì ń sọkún lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ títí ó fi dé Bahurimu Abneri sì wí fún un pé, “Padà sẹ́yìn!” Òun sì padà.
17 Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:
Abneri sì bá àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣe àfẹ́rí Dafidi ní ìgbà àtijọ́, láti jẹ ọba lórí yín.
18 For the Lord has said of David, By the hand of my servant David I will make my people Israel safe from the Philistines, and from all who are against them.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹ ṣe, nítorí tí Olúwa ti sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Láti ọwọ́ Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi lé mi ó gba Israẹli ènìyàn mi là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini àti lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn.’”
19 And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin.
Abneri sì sọ̀rọ̀ létí Benjamini: Abneri sì lọ sọ létí Dafidi ní Hebroni, gbogbo èyí tí ó dára lójú Israẹli, àti lójú gbogbo ilé Benjamini.
20 So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.
Abneri sì tọ Dafidi wá ní Hebroni, ogún ọmọkùnrin sì lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ Dafidi sì ṣe àsè fún Abneri àti fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
21 And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.
Abneri sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Èmi ó dìde, èmi ó sì lọ, èmi ó sì kó gbogbo Israẹli jọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba olúwa mi, wọn ó sì bá a ṣe àdéhùn, ìwọ ó sì jẹ ọba gbogbo wọn bí ọkàn rẹ ti ń fẹ́.” Dafidi sì rán Abneri lọ; òun sì lọ ní àlàáfíà.
22 Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace.
Sì wò ó, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi àti Joabu sì ti ibi ìlépa ẹgbẹ́ ogun kan bọ̀, wọ́n sì mú ìkógun púpọ̀ bọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Abneri kò sí lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi ní Hebroni; nítorí tí òun ti rán an lọ, òun sì ti lọ ní àlàáfíà.
23 When Joab and his men came, news was given them that Abner, the son of Ner, had come to the king, who had let him go away again in peace.
Nígbà tí Joabu àti gbogbo ogun tí ó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì dé, wọ́n sì sọ fún Joabu pé Abneri, ọmọ Neri ti tọ ọba wá, òun sì ti rán an lọ, ó sì ti lọ ní àlàáfíà.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? when Abner came to you why did you send him away and let him go?
Joabu sì tọ ọba wá, ó sì sọ pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ṣe yìí? Wò ó, Abneri tọ̀ ọ́ wá; èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ sì fi rán an lọ? Òun sì ti lọ.
25 Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?
Ìwọ mọ Abneri ọmọ Neri, pé ó wá láti tàn ọ́ jẹ ni, àti láti mọ ìjáde lọ rẹ, àti wíwọlé rẹ́ àti láti mọ gbogbo èyí tí ìwọ ń ṣe.”
26 And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.
Nígbà tí Joabu sì jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi, ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ láti lépa Abneri, wọ́n sì pè é padà láti ibi kànga Sira, Dafidi kò sì mọ̀.
27 And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel.
Abneri sì padà sí Hebroni, Joabu sì bá a tẹ̀ láàrín ojú ọ̀nà láti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ ní àlàáfíà, ó sì gún un níbẹ̀ lábẹ́ inú, ó sì kú, nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ Asaheli arákùnrin rẹ̀.
28 And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi sì gbọ́ ọ, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi àti ìjọba mi sì jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi níwájú Olúwa títí láé, ní ti ẹ̀jẹ̀ Abneri ọmọ Neri,
29 May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!
jẹ́ kí ó wà ní orí Joabu, àti ní orí gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀; kí a má sì fẹ́ ẹni ó tí ní ààrùn ìsun, tàbí adẹ́tẹ̀, tàbí ẹni tí ń tẹ ọ̀pá, tàbí ẹni tí a ó fi idà pa, tàbí ẹni tí ó ṣe aláìní oúnjẹ kù ní ilé Joabu.”
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon.
(Joabu àti Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì pa Abneri, nítorí pé òun ti pa Asaheli arákùnrin wọn ní Gibeoni ní ogun.)
31 And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.
Dafidi sì wí fún Joabu àti fún gbogbo ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ fa aṣọ yín ya, kí ẹ̀yin sì mú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì sọkún níwájú Abneri.” Dafidi ọba tìkára rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé pósí rẹ̀.
32 And they put Abner's body to rest in Hebron; and the king and all the people were weeping loudly by the resting-place of Abner's body.
Wọ́n sì sin Abneri ní Hebroni, ọba sì gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì sọkún ní ibojì Abneri; gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì sọkún.
33 And the king made a song of grief for Abner and said, Was the death of Abner to be like the death of a foolish man?
Ọba sì sọkún lórí Abneri, ó sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ Abneri ó yẹ kí ó kú bí aṣiwèrè?
34 Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again.
A kò sá à dè ọ́ lọ́wọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò kan ẹsẹ̀ rẹ ní àbà. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn tí ń ṣubú níwájú àwọn ìkà ènìyàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ ṣubú.” Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì tún sọkún lórí rẹ̀.
35 And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down!
Nígbà tí gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá láti gba Dafidi ní ìyànjú kí ó jẹun, nígbà tí ọjọ́ sì ń bẹ, Dafidi sì búra wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, bí èmi yóò bá tọ́ oúnjẹ wò, tàbí nǹkan mìíràn títí oòrùn yóò fi wọ̀!”
36 And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì kíyèsi i, ó sì dára lójú wọn, gbogbo èyí tí ọba ṣe sì dára lójú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà.
37 So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà àti gbogbo Israẹli sì mọ̀ lọ́jọ́ náà pé, kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ ọba láti pa Abneri ọmọ Neri.
38 And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel?
Ọba sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé olórí àti ẹni ńlá kan ni ó ṣubú lónìí ní Israẹli.
39 While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!
Èmi sì ṣe aláìlágbára lónìí, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a fi èmi jẹ ọba; àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ọmọ Seruiah sì le jù mí lọ: Olúwa ni yóò san án fún ẹni tí ó ṣe ibi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà búburú rẹ̀!”
