2 Samuel 2
1 Sometime after this, David asked the Lord, “Should I go to one of the towns of Judah?” “Yes, do it,” the Lord replied. “Which one should I go to?” David asked. “Go to Hebron,” said the Lord.
Lẹ́yìn àkókò yìí, Dafidi wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa. Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ṣé èmi lè gòkè lọ sí ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìlú Juda?” Olúwa sì wí pé, “Gòkè lọ.” Dafidi sì béèrè pé, “Ní ibo ni kí èmi kí ó lọ?” Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Sí Hebroni.”
2 So David moved there with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel.
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi gòkè lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìyàwó rẹ̀ méjì Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli, àti Abigaili obìnrin opó Nabali ti Karmeli.
3 He also brought the men who were with him, along with their families, and they settled in the villages near Hebron.
Dafidi sì mú àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, olúkúlùkù pẹ̀lú ìdílé rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń gbé ní Hebroni àti ìlú rẹ̀ mìíràn.
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king of the people of Judah. When David found out that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead who had buried Saul,
Nígbà náà àwọn ọkùnrin ará Juda wá sí Hebroni, níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti fi àmì òróró yan Dafidi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba lórí ilé Juda. Nígbà tí wọ́n sọ fún Dafidi pé, àwọn ọkùnrin ti Jabesi Gileadi ni ó sin òkú Saulu,
5 he sent messengers to them, saying, “May the Lord bless you, because you demonstrated your loyal love to Saul your master, and you buried him properly.
Dafidi rán oníṣẹ́ sí àwọn ọkùnrin Jabesi Gileadi láti sọ fún wọn pé, “Olúwa bùkún un yín fún fífi inú rere yín hàn sí Saulu ọ̀gá yín nípa sí sin ín.
6 Now may the Lord show you loyal love and trustworthiness, and I will also be good to you because of what you did for Saul.
Kí Olúwa kí ó fi inú rere àti òtítọ́ fún un yín, èmi náà yóò sì san oore yìí fún un yín, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe èyí.
7 So be strong and be brave, for even though Saul your master is dead, the people of Judah have anointed me as their king.”
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ mú ara yín le, kí ẹ sì ní ìgboyà, nítorí Saulu ọba yín ti kú, ilé Juda sì ti fi àmì òróró yàn mí ní ọba lórí wọn.”
8 However, Abner, son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbosheth, son of Saul, to Mahanaim.
Lákòókò yìí, Abneri ọmọ Neri olórí ogun Saulu ti mú Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu, ó sì mú un kọjá sí Mahanaimu.
9 There he set up Ishbosheth as king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin, in fact over all Israel.
Ó sì fi jẹ ọba lórí Gileadi Aṣuri àti Jesreeli àti lórí Efraimu àti lórí Benjamini àti lórí gbogbo Israẹli.
10 Ishbosheth, son of Saul, was forty when he became king over Israel, and he reigned for two years. However, the people of Judah were on David's side.
Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu sì jẹ́ ọmọ ogójì ọdún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún méjì. Ilé Juda sì ń tọ Dafidi lẹ́yìn.
11 David ruled in Hebron as king over the people of Judah for seven years and six months.
Gbogbo àkókò tí Dafidi fi jẹ ọba ní Hebroni lórí ilé Juda sì jẹ́ ọdún méje àti oṣù mẹ́fà.
12 One day Abner and Ishbosheth's men left Mahanaim and went to the town of Gibeon.
Abneri ọmọ Neri pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin ti Iṣboṣeti ọmọkùnrin Saulu kúrò ní Mahanaimu, wọ́n sì lọ sí Gibeoni.
13 Joab, son of Zeruiah, and David's men set off and met them at the pool of Gibeon, where they all sat down, facing each other across the pool.
Joabu ọmọ Seruiah pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Dafidi jáde lọ láti lọ bá wọn ní adágún Gibeoni. Ẹgbẹ́ kan sì jókòó ní apá kan adágún, àti ẹgbẹ́ kejì ní apá kejì adágún.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Why not let's have some of the men fight in hand to hand combat before us.” “Fine,” Joab agreed.
Nígbà náà, Abneri sọ fún Joabu pé, “Jẹ́ kí díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yìí ó dìde láti bá ara wọn jà níwájú wa.” Joabu sì dáhùn pé, “Ó dára, jẹ́ kí wọ́n ṣe é.”
15 So twelve men came forward from each side—twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth, and twelve for David.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n dìde sókè, a sì kà wọ́n sí ọkùnrin méjìlá fún Benjamini àti Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu àti méjìlá fún Dafidi.
16 Each man grabbed his opponent's head and drove his sword into his opponent's side so that they all fell down dead together. That's why this place in Gibeon is called the Field of Sword-edges.
Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin gbá ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ mú ní orí, ó sì fi idà gún ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́, wọ́n sì ṣubú lulẹ̀ papọ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ibẹ̀ ni Gibeoni ti à ń pè ni Helikatihu Hasurimu.
17 The battle that followed was hard-fought, but eventually Abner and his men were defeated by David's men.
Ogun náà ní ọjọ́ náà gbóná. Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì ṣẹ́gun Abneri pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was a fast runner, like a gazelle racing across the open countryside.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Seruiah mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta ni ó wà níbẹ̀: Joabu, Abiṣai àti Asaheli. Nísinsin yìí ẹsẹ̀ Asaheli sì fẹ́rẹ̀ bí ẹsẹ̀ èsúró tí ó wà ní pápá.
19 He chased after Abner with single-minded determination.
Asaheli sì ń lépa Abneri, bí òun tí ń lọ kò sì yípadà sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì láti máa tọ́ Abneri lẹ́yìn.
20 Abner looked back and asked, “Is that you, Asahel?” “Yes, it's me,” Asahel replied.
Abneri bojú wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ṣé ìwọ Asaheli ni?” Ó dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni.”
21 Abner told him, “Leave me alone! Go and fight somebody else and take his weapons for yourself!” But Asahel refused to stop chasing him.
Nígbà náà, Abneri sọ fún un pé, “Yípadà sí ọ̀tún tàbí òsì; mú ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin kí o sì bọ́ ìhámọ́ra rẹ.” Ṣùgbọ́n Asaheli kọ̀ láti dẹ́kun lílépa rẹ̀.
22 Abner warned Asahel again. “Stop chasing me!” he shouted. “Why do you want me to kill you? How could I ever face your brother Joab?”
Abneri tún kìlọ̀ fún Asaheli, “Dẹ́kun lílépa mi! Èéṣe tí èmi yóò fi lù ọ́ bolẹ̀? Báwo ni èmi yóò ti wo arákùnrin rẹ Joabu lójú?”
23 But Asahel wouldn't stop chasing him, so Abner drove the handle of his spear into his belly. It came out the back, and he fell down dead right there. Everyone who passed by stopped at the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó sí kọ̀ láti padà, Abneri sì fi òdì ọ̀kọ̀ gún un lábẹ́ inú, ọ̀kọ̀ náà sì jáde ní ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀: òun sì ṣubú lulẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó sì kú ní ibi kan náà; ó sí ṣe gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó dé ibi tí Asaheli gbé ṣubú si, tí ó sì kú, sì dúró jẹ́.
24 But Joab and Abishai set off to chase after Abner. By the time the sun went down they had got as far as the hill of Ammah near Giah, on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Joabu àti Abiṣai sì lépa Abneri: oòrùn sì wọ̀, wọ́n sì dé òkè ti Amima tí o wà níwájú Giah lọ́nà ijù Gibeoni.
25 Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin rallied to him there, forming a tight group around him standing at the top of the hill.
Àwọn ọmọ Benjamini sì kó ara wọn jọ wọ́n tẹ̀lé Abneri, wọ́n sì wá di ẹgbẹ́ kan, wọ́n sì dúró lórí òkè kan.
26 Abner shouted to Joab: “Do we have to keep killing each other forever? Don't you realize that if we go on it'll only get worse? How long are you going to wait before you order your men to stop chasing their brothers?”
Abneri sì pe Joabu, ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Idà yóò máa parun títí láéláé bí? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ì tí ì mọ̀ pé yóò korò níkẹyìn? Ǹjẹ́ yóò ha ti pẹ́ tó kí ìwọ tó sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, kí wọ́n dẹ́kun láti máa lépa arákùnrin wọn.”
27 “As God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not said anything, my men would have continued chasing their brothers until the morning.”
Joabu sì wí pé, “Bí Ọlọ́run ti ń bẹ, bí kò ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí, nítòótọ́ ní òwúrọ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn náà ìbá padà lẹ́yìn arákùnrin wọn.”
28 Joab blew the horn so all the men stopped—they didn't continue chasing or fighting the Israelites.
Joabu sì fọ́n ìpè, gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró jẹ́ẹ́, wọn kò sì lépa Israẹli mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì tún jà mọ́.
29 All through the night Abner and his men marched through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and continued all morning until they arrived back at Mahanaim.
Abneri àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì fi gbogbo òru náà rìn ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, wọ́n sì kọjá Jordani, wọ́n sì rìn ní gbogbo Bitironi, wọ́n sì wá sí Mahanaimu.
30 When Joab got back from chasing Abner, he gathered all the men together. Nineteen of David's men were missing in addition to Asahel.
Joabu sì dẹ́kun àti máa tọ Abneri lẹ́yìn: ó sì kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà jọ, ènìyàn mọ́kàndínlógún ni ó kú pẹ̀lú Asaheli nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi.
31 However, they had killed three hundred and sixty of Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi sì pa nínú àwọn ènìyàn Benjamini: nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin Abneri; òjìdínnírinwó ènìyàn.
32 They took Asahel's body and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Then they marched all through the night and reached Hebron at dawn.
Wọ́n si gbé Asaheli wọ́n sì sin ín sínú ibojì baba rẹ̀ tí ó wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu. Joabu àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ fi gbogbo òru náà rìn, ilẹ̀ sì mọ́ wọn sí Hebroni.
