< 2 Samuel 15 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Lẹ́yìn èyí náà, Absalomu sì pèsè kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin fún ara rẹ̀, àti àádọ́ta ọmọkùnrin tí yóò máa sáré níwájú rẹ̀.
2 And Absalom used to rise up early, and stand beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: 'Of what city art thou?' And he said: 'Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.'
Absalomu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù, ó sì dúró ní apá kan ọ̀nà ẹnu ibodè. Bí ẹnìkan bá ní ẹjọ́ tí ó ń fẹ́ mú tọ ọba wá fún ìdájọ́, a sì pè é sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, a sì bi í pé, “Ará ìlú wo ni ìwọ?” Òun a sì dáhùn pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti inú ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli wá.”
3 And Absalom said unto him: 'See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.'
Absalomu yóò sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀ràn rẹ ṣá dára, ó sì tọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ọba fi àṣẹ fún láti gbọ́ ọ̀ràn rẹ.”
4 Absalom said moreover: 'Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!'
Absalomu a sì wí pé, “À bá jẹ́ fi mi ṣe onídàájọ́ ní ilẹ̀ yìí! Kí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó ní ẹjọ́ tàbí ọ̀ràn kan bá à lè máa tọ̀ mí wá, èmi ìbá sì ṣe ìdájọ́ òtítọ́ fún un.”
5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to prostrate himself before him, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni bí ẹnìkan bá sì súnmọ́ láti tẹríba fún un, òun a sì nawọ́ rẹ̀, a sì dìímú, a sì fi ẹnu kò ó lẹ́nu.
6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Irú ìwà báyìí ni Absalomu a máa hù sí gbogbo Israẹli tí ó tọ́ ọba wá nítorí ìdájọ́, Absalomu sì fi fa ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
7 And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king: 'I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ogójì ọdún, Absalomu sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èmi bẹ́ ọ́, jẹ́ kí èmi ó lọ, kí èmi sì san ìlérí mi tí èmi ti ṣe fún Olúwa, ní Hebroni.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Aram, saying: If the LORD shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.'
Nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ kan nígbà tí èmi ń bẹ ní Geṣuri ní Siria pé, ‘Bí Olúwa bá mú mi padà wá sí Jerusalẹmu, nítòótọ́, èmi ó sì sin Olúwa.’”
9 And the king said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.” Ó sì dìde, ó sì lọ sí Hebroni.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying: 'As soon as ye hear the sound of the horn, then ye shall say: Absalom is king in Hebron.'
Ṣùgbọ́n Absalomu rán àmì sáàrín gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ ìró ìpè, kí ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, ‘Absalomu jẹ ọba ní Hebroni.’”
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they knew not any thing.
Igba ọkùnrin sì bá Absalomu ti Jerusalẹmu jáde, nínú àwọn tí a ti pè; wọ́n sì lọ nínú àìmọ̀kan wọn, wọn kò sì mọ nǹkan kan.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Absalomu sì ránṣẹ́ pe Ahitofeli ará Giloni, ìgbìmọ̀ Dafidi, láti ìlú rẹ̀ wá, àní láti Giloni, nígbà tí ó ń rú ẹbọ. Ìdìmọ̀lù náà sì le; àwọn ènìyàn sì ń pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ Absalomu.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying: 'The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.'
Ẹnìkan sì wá rò fún Dafidi pé, “Ọkàn àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli ṣí sí Absalomu.”
14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem: 'Arise, and let us flee; or else none of us shall escape from Absalom; make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.'
Dafidi sì wí fún gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó wá lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni Jerusalẹmu pé, “Ẹ dìde! Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sálọ, nítorí pé kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà wá lọ́wọ́ Absalomu; ẹ yára, kí a lọ kúrò, kí òun má bá à yára lé wa bá, kí ó má sì mú ibi bá wa, kí ó má sì fi ojú idà pa ìlú run.”
15 And the king's servants said unto the king: 'Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.'
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí olúwa wa ọba ń fẹ́, wò ó, àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ti murá.”
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.
Ọba sì jáde, gbogbo ilé rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé e. Ọba sì fì mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn obìnrin rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láti máa ṣọ́ ilé.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.
Ọba sì jáde, gbogbo ènìyàn sì tẹ̀lé e, wọ́n sì dúró ní ibìkan tí ó jìnnà.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
Gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì kọjá sí iwájú rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn Kereti, àti gbogbo àwọn Peleti, àti gbogbo àwọn ará Gitti, ẹgbẹ̀ta ọmọkùnrin tí ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn láti Gati wá, sì kọjá níwájú ọba.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite: 'Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile from thine own place.
Ọba sì wí fún Ittai ará Gitti pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bá wa lọ pẹ̀lú, padà, kí o sì ba ọba jókòó; nítorí pé àlejò ni ìwọ, ìwọ sì ti fi ìlú rẹ sílẹ̀.
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee in kindness and truth.'
Lánàá yìí ni ìwọ dé, èmi ó ha sì mú kí ìwọ máa bá wá lọ káàkiri lónìí bí? Èmi ń lọ sí ibikíbi tí mo bá rí: padà, kí o sì mú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ padà, kí àánú àti òtítọ́ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.'
Ittai sì dá ọba lóhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa tí ń bẹ láààyè, àti bí olúwa mi ọba ti ń bẹ láààyè, nítòótọ́ níbikíbi tí olúwa mi ọba bá gbé wà, ìbá à ṣe nínú ikú, tàbí nínú ìyè, níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò gbé wà.”
22 And David said to Ittai: 'Go and pass over.' And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Dafidi sì wí fún Ittai pé, “Lọ kí o sì rékọjá!” Ittai ará Gitti náà sì rékọjá, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ kéékèèké tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, as all the people passed over; and as the king passed over the brook Kidron, all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
Gbogbo ìlú náà sì fi ohùn rara sọkún, gbogbo ènìyàn sì rékọjá; ọba sì rékọjá àfonífojì Kidironi, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì rékọjá, sí ìhà ọ̀nà ijù.
24 And, lo, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God — but Abiathar went up — until all the people had done passing out of the city.
Sì wò ó, Sadoku pẹ̀lú àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí ń ru àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run náà sọ̀kalẹ̀; Abiatari sí gòkè, títí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì fi dẹ́kun àti máa kọjá láti ìlú wá.
25 And the king said unto Zadok: 'Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back, and show me both it, and His habitation;
Ọba sì wí fún Sadoku pé, “Sì tún gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run náà padà sí ìlú, bí èmi bá rí ojúrere gbà lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, yóò sì tún mú mi padà wá, yóò sì fi àpótí ẹ̀rí náà hàn mí àti ibùgbé rẹ̀.
26 but if He say thus: I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him.'
Ṣùgbọ́n bí òun bá sì wí pé, ‘Èmi kò ní inú dídùn sí ọ,’ wò ó, èmi nìyìí, jẹ́ kí òun ó ṣe sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ ní ojú rẹ̀.”
27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest: 'Seest thou? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Ọba sì wí fún Sadoku àlùfáà pé, “Aríran ha kọ́ ni ọ́? Padà sí ìlú ní àlàáfíà, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ méjèèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ, Ahimasi ọmọ rẹ, àti Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari.
28 See, I will tarry in the plains of the wilderness, until there come word from you to announce unto me.'
Wò ó, èmi ó dúró ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ijù náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ ó fi ti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá láti sọ fún mi.”
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they abode there.
Sadoku àti Abiatari sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run padà sí Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì gbé ibẹ̀.
30 And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot; and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
Dafidi sì ń gòkè lọ ní òkè igi olifi, o sì ń sọkún bí ó ti ń gòkè lọ, ó sì bo orí rẹ̀, ó ń lọ láìní bàtà ní ẹsẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn tí o wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin sì bo orí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń gòkè lọ, wọ́n ń sọkún bí wọ́n ti ń gòkè lọ.
31 And one told David, saying: 'Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.' And David said: 'O LORD, I pray Thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.'
Ẹnìkan sì sọ fún Dafidi pé, “Ahitofeli wà nínú àwọn aṣọ̀tẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Absalomu.” Dafidi sì wí pé, “Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, sọ ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli di asán.”
32 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the ascent, where God was wont to be worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.
Ó sì ṣe, Dafidi dé orí òkè, níbi tí ó gbé wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run, sì wò ó, Huṣai ará Arki sì wá láti pàdé rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú aṣọ rẹ̀ yíya, àti erùpẹ̀, lórí rẹ̀.
33 And David said unto him: 'If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto Me;
Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ìwọ bá bá mi kọjá, ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ ìdíwọ́ fún mi.
34 but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom: I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Bí ìwọ bá sì padà sí ìlú, tí o sì wí fún Absalomu pé, ‘Èmi ó ṣe ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ọba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ baba rẹ nígbà àtijọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ó sì jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nísinsin yìí,’ kí ìwọ sì bá ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli jẹ́.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Ṣé Sadoku àti Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀? Yóò sì ṣe, ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá gbọ́ láti ilé ọba wá, ìwọ ó sì sọ fún Sadoku àti Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye shall hear.'
Wò ó, àwọn ọmọ wọn méjèèjì sì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn, Ahimasi ọmọ Sadoku, àti Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari; láti ọwọ́ wọn ni ẹ̀yin ó sì rán ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ sí mi.”
37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city; and Absalom was at the point of coming into Jerusalem.
Huṣai ọ̀rẹ́ Dafidi sì wá sí ìlú, Absalomu sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
