2 Samuel 19

1 And it was told Joab: 'Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.'

A sì rò fún Joabu pe, “Wò ó, ọba ń sọkún, ó sì ń gbààwẹ̀ fún Absalomu.”

2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard say that day: 'The king grieveth for his son.'

Ìṣẹ́gun ọjọ́ náà sì di àwẹ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn náà gbọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà bí inú ọba ti bàjẹ́ nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀.

3 And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yọ́ lọ sí ìlú ní ọjọ́ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn bí ènìyàn tí a dójútì ṣe máa ń yọ́ lọ nígbà tí wọ́n bá sá lójú ìjà.

4 And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice: 'O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!'

Ọba sì bo ojú rẹ̀, ọba sì kígbe ní ohùn rara pé, “Á à! Ọmọ mi Absalomu! Absalomu ọmọ mi, ọmọ mi!”

5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said: 'Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;

Joabu sì wọ inú ilé tọ ọba lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ dójúti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lónìí, àwọn tí ó gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là lónìí, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, àti ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, àti àwọn aya rẹ̀, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn obìnrin rẹ.

6 in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee; for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

Nítorí pé ìwọ fẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, ìwọ sì kórìíra àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí tí ìwọ wí lónìí pé, Ìwọ kò náání àwọn ọmọ ọba tàbí àwọn ìránṣẹ́; èmi sì rí lónìí pé, ìbá ṣe pé Absalomu wà láààyè, kí gbogbo wa sì kú lónìí, ǹjẹ́ ìbá dùn mọ́ ọ gidigidi.

7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night; and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.'

Sì dìde nísinsin yìí, lọ, kí o sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìtùnú fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí pé èmi fi Olúwa búra, bí ìwọ kò bá lọ, ẹnìkan kì yóò bá ọ dúró ni alẹ́ yìí, èyí ni yóò sì burú fún ọ ju gbogbo ibi tí ojú rẹ ti ń rí láti ìgbà èwe rẹ wá títí ó fi di ìsinsin yìí.”

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying: 'Behold, the king doth sit in the gate'; and all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.

Ọba sì dìde, ó sì jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọ́n sì wí fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Wò ó, ọba jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.” Gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá sí iwájú ọba. Nítorí pé, Israẹli ti sá, olúkúlùkù sí àgọ́ rẹ̀.

9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying: 'The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from Absalom.

Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì ń bà ara wọn jà nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, pé, “Ọba ti gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa, ó sì ti gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini; òun sì wá sá kúrò ní ìlú nítorí Absalomu.

10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now, therefore, why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?'

Absalomu, tí àwa fi jẹ ọba lórí wa sì kú ní ogun, ǹjẹ́ èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi dákẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ kan láti mú ọba padà wá?”

11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying: 'Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying: Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? — For the speech of all Israel was come to the king, to bring him to his house. —

Dafidi ọba sì ránṣẹ́ sí Sadoku, àti sí Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Juda, pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá sí ilé rẹ̀? Ọ̀rọ̀ gbogbo Israẹli sì ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọba àní ní ilé rẹ̀.

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; wherefore then should ye be the last to bring back the king?

Ẹ̀yin ni ara mi, ẹ̀yin ni egungun mi, àti ẹran-ara mi: èéṣì ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá.’

13 And say ye to Amasa: Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.'

Kí ẹ̀yin sì wí fún Amasa pé, ‘Egungun àti ẹran-ara mi kọ́ ni ìwọ jẹ́ bí? Kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ kò ba ṣe olórí ogun níwájú mi títí, ní ipò Joabu.’”

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent unto the king: 'Return thou, and all thy servants.'

Òun sì yí gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lọ́kàn padà àní bí ọkàn ènìyàn kan; wọ́n sì ránṣẹ́ sí ọba, pé, “Ìwọ padà àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”

15 So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.

Ọba sì padà, o sì wá sí odò Jordani. Juda sì wá sí Gilgali láti lọ pàdé ọba, àti láti mú ọba kọjá odò Jordani.

16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, made haste and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.

Ṣimei ọmọ Gera, ará Benjamini ti Bahurimu, ó yára ó sì bá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti pàdé Dafidi ọba.

17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him. And they rushed into the Jordan before the king.

Ẹgbẹ̀rún ọmọkùnrin sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin Benjamini, Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ ilé Saulu, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti ogún ìránṣẹ́ sì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; wọ́n sì gòkè odò Jordani ṣáájú ọba.

18 And the ferryboat passed to and fro to bring over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he would go over the Jordan.

Ọkọ̀ èrò kan ti rékọjá láti kó àwọn ènìyàn ilé ọba sí òkè, àti láti ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀. Ṣimei ọmọ Gera wólẹ̀. Ó sì dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú ọba, bí ó tí gòkè odò Jordani.

19 And he said unto the king: 'Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did iniquitously the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi ó má ṣe ka ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí mi lọ́rùn, má sì ṣe rántí àfojúdi tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣe ni ọjọ́ tí olúwa mi ọba jáde ní Jerusalẹmu, kí ọba má sì fi sí inú.

20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned; therefore, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.'

Nítorí pé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ̀ pé èmi ti ṣẹ̀; sì wò ó, mo wá lónìí yìí, ẹni àkọ́kọ́ ní gbogbo ìdílé Josẹfu tí yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá pàdé olúwa mi ọba.”

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said: 'Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?'

Ṣùgbọ́n Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Kò ha tọ́ kí a pa Ṣimei nítorí èyí? Nítorí pé òun ti bú ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.”

22 And David said: 'What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?'

Dafidi sì wí pé, “Kí ni èmi ní ṣe pẹ̀lú yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Seruiah tí ẹ dàbí ọ̀tá fún mi lónìí? A ha lè pa ènìyàn kan lónìí ní Israẹli? Tàbí èmi kò ha mọ̀ pé lónìí èmi ni ọba Israẹli.”

23 And the king said unto Shimei: 'Thou shalt not die.' And the king swore unto him.

Ọba sì wí fún Ṣimei pé, “Ìwọ kì yóò kú!” Ọba sì búra fún un.

24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

Mefiboṣeti ọmọ Saulu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wá pàdé ọba, kò wẹ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, kò sí tọ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ láti ọjọ́ tí ọba ti jáde títí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí ó fi padà ní àlàáfíà.

25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him: 'Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?'

Nígbà tí òun sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti pàdé ọba, ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi bá mi lọ, Mefiboṣeti?”

26 And he answered: 'My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said: I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.

Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba, ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ó tàn mí, nítorí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún un pé, ‘Di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi èmi ó gùn ún, èmi ó sì tọ ọba lọ.’ Nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yarọ.

27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

28 For all my father's house were deserving of death at the hand of my lord the king; yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet? or why should I cry any more unto the king?'

Nítorí pé gbogbo ilé baba mi bí òkú ènìyàn ni wọ́n sá à rí níwájú olúwa mi ọba, ìwọ sì fi ipò fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láàrín àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní ibi oúnjẹ. Nítorí náà àre kín ni èmi ní tí èmi yóò fi máa ké pe ọba síbẹ̀.”

29 And the king said unto him: 'Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say: Thou and Ziba divide the land.'

Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń sọ ọ̀ràn ara rẹ fún mi èmi sá à ti wí pé, kí ìwọ àti Ṣiba pín ilẹ̀ náà.”

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king: 'Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house.'

Mefiboṣeti sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó mú gbogbo rẹ̀, kí olúwa mi ọba sá à ti padà bọ̀ wá ilé rẹ̀ ni àlàáfíà.”

31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he passed on to Jordan with the king, to bring him on the way over the Jordan.

Barsillai ará Gileadi sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Rogelimu wá, ó sì bá ọba gòkè odò Jordani, láti ṣe ìkẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ìkọjá odò Jordani.

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old; and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

Barsillai sì jẹ́ arúgbó ọkùnrin gidigidi, ẹni ogbó ọgọ́rin ọdún sì ni, ó sì pèsè ohun jíjẹ fún ọba nígbà tí ó ti wà ní Mahanaimu; nítorí pé ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá ni òun ń ṣe.

33 And the king said unto Barzillai: 'Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.'

Ọba sì wí fún Barsillai pé, “Ìwọ wá bá mi gòkè odò, èmi ó sì máa pèsè fún ọ ní Jerusalẹmu.”

34 And Barzillai said unto the king: 'How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

Barsillai sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ọjọ́ mélòó ni ọdún ẹ̀mí mi kù, tí èmi ó fi bá ọba gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.

35 I am this day fourscore years old; can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

Ẹni ogbó ọgọ́rin ọdún sá à ni èmi lónìí, ǹjẹ́ èmi mọ ìyàtọ̀ nínú rere àti búburú? Ǹjẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ le mọ adùn ohun tí òun ń jẹ tàbí ohun ti òun ń mu bí?

36 Thy servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?

Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò sì sin ọba lọ díẹ̀ gòkè odò Jordani; èéṣì ṣe tí ọba yóò fi san ẹ̀san yìí fún mi.

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.'

Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ padà, èmi ó sì kú ní ìlú mi, a ó sì sin mí ní ibojì baba àti ìyá mi. Sì wo Kimhamu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, yóò bá olúwa mi ọba gòkè; ìwọ ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó bá tọ́ lójú rẹ fún un.”

38 And the king answered: 'Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.'

Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kimhamu yóò bá mi gòkè, èmi ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀ fún un; ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi ó ṣe é fún ọ.”

39 And all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.

Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì gòkè odò Jordani ọba sì gòkè; ọba sì fi ẹnu ko Barsillai lẹ́nu, ó sì súre fún un; òun sì padà sí ilé rẹ̀.

40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him; and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

Ọba sì ń lọ́ sí Gilgali, Kimhamu sì ń bà a lọ, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda sì ń ṣe ìkẹ́ ọba, àti ààbọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king: 'Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?'

Sì wò ó, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì tọ ọba wá, wọ́n sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn arákùnrin wa àwọn ọkùnrin Juda fi jí ọ kúrò, tí wọ́n sì fi mú ọba àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ gòkè odò Jordani, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Dafidi pẹ̀lú rẹ?”

42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel: 'Because the king is near of kin to us; wherefore then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath any gift been given us?'

Gbogbo ọkùnrin Juda sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli lóhùn pé, “Nítorí pé ọba bá wa tan ni; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi bínú nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí? Àwa jẹ nínú oúnjẹ ọba rárá bí? Tàbí ó fi ẹ̀bùn kan fún wa bí?”

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said: 'We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye; why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?' And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli náà sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lóhùn pé, “Àwa ní ipá mẹ́wàá nínú ọba, àwa sì ní nínú Dafidi jù yín lọ, èéṣì ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kà wá sí, tí ìmọ̀ wa kò fi ṣáájú láti mú ọba wa padà?” Ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì le ju ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli.
