2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
Ahitofeli sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Èmi ó yan ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ọkùnrin èmi ó sì dìde, èmi ó sì lépa Dafidi lóru yìí.
2 And I will come upon him while he [is] weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that [are] with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
Èmi ó sì yọ sí i nígbà tí àárẹ̀ bá mú un tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ṣe aláìle, èmi ó sì dá a ní ìjì, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì sá, èmi ó sì kọlu ọba nìkan ṣoṣo.
3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest [is] as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.
Èmi ó sì mú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ bi ìgbà tí ìyàwó bá padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkọ rẹ̀. Ọkàn ẹnìkan ṣoṣo tí ìwọ ń wá yìí ni ó túmọ̀ sí ìpadàbọ̀ gbogbo wọn; gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì wà ní àlàáfíà.”
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì tọ́ lójú Absalomu, àti lójú gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
Absalomu sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ pe Huṣai ará Arki, àwa ó sì gbọ́ èyí tí ó wà lẹ́nu rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.”
6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not; speak thou.
Huṣai sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Absalomu, Absalomu sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Ahitofeli wí, kí àwa ṣe bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bí? Bí ko bá sì tọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, ìwọ wí.”
7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given [is] not good at this time.
Huṣai sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Ìmọ̀ tí Ahitofeli gbà yìí, kò dára nísinsin yìí.”
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father [is] a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Huṣai sì wí pé, “Ìwọ mọ baba rẹ àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé alágbára ni wọ́n, wọ́n sì wà ní kíkorò ọkàn bí àmọ̀tẹ́kùn tí a gbà ní ọmọ ni pápá, baba rẹ sì jẹ́ jagunjagun ọkùnrin kì yóò bá àwọn ènìyàn náà gbé pọ̀ lóru.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
Kíyèsi i, ó ti fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ nísinsin yìí ni ihò kan, tàbí ní ibòmíràn: yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí díẹ̀ nínú wọn bá kọ́ ṣubú, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbọ́ yóò sì wí pé, ‘Ìparun sì ń bẹ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn tí ń tọ Absalomu lẹ́yìn.’
10 And he also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father [is] a mighty man, and [they] which [be] with him [are] valiant men.
Ẹni tí ó sì ṣe alágbára, tí ọkàn rẹ̀ sì dàbí ọkàn kìnnìún, yóò sì rẹ̀ ẹ́: nítorí gbogbo Israẹli ti mọ̀ pé alágbára ni baba rẹ, àti pé, àwọn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ jẹ́ alágbára.
11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
“Nítorí náà èmi dámọ̀ràn pé, kí gbogbo Israẹli wọ́jọ pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iyanrìn létí òkun fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀; àti pé, kí ìwọ tìkára rẹ̀ ó lọ sí ogun náà.
12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that [are] with him there shall not be left so much as one.
Àwa ó sì yọ sí i níbikíbi tí àwa o gbé rí i, àwa ó sì yí i ká bí ìrì ti ń ṣẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ àní, ọkàn kan kì yóò kù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
Bí o bá sì bọ́ sí ìlú kan, gbogbo Israẹli yóò mú okùn wá sí ìlú náà, àwa ó sì fà á lọ sí odò, títí a kì yóò fi rí òkúta kéékèèké kan níbẹ̀.”
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
Absalomu àti gbogbo ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wí pé, “Ìmọ̀ Huṣai ará Arki sàn ju ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli lọ! Nítorí Olúwa fẹ́ láti yí ìmọ̀ rere ti Ahitofeli po.” Nítorí kí Olúwa lè mú ibi wá sórí Absalomu.
15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Huṣai sì wí fún Sadoku àti fún Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Báyìí ni Ahitofeli ti bá Absalomu àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli dámọ̀ràn, báyìí lèmi sì bá a dámọ̀ràn.
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that [are] with him.
Nítorí náà yára ránṣẹ́ nísinsin yìí kí o sì sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Má ṣe dúró ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ijù náà lálẹ́ yìí, ṣùgbọ́n yára rékọjá kí a má bá a gbé ọba mì, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.’”
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
Jonatani àti Ahimasi sì dúró ní En-Rogeli ọ̀dọ́mọdébìnrin kan sì lọ, ó sì sọ fún wọn, wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n sọ fún Dafidi ọba nítorí pé kí a má bá à rí wọn pé wọ́n wọ ìlú.
18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀dọ́mọdékùnrin kan rí wọn, ó sì wí fún Absalomu, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn méjèèjì sì yára lọ kúrò, wọ́n sì wá sí ilé ọkùnrin kan ní Bahurimu, ẹni tí ó ní kànga kan ní ọgbà rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibẹ̀.
19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
Obìnrin rẹ̀ sì mú nǹkan ó fi bo kànga náà, ó sì sá àgbàdo sórí rẹ̀, a kò sì mọ̀.
20 And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find [them], they returned to Jerusalem.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Absalomu sì tọ obìnrin náà wá sí ilé náà, wọ́n sì béèrè pé, “Níbo ni Ahimasi àti Jonatani gbé wà?” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún wọn pé, “Wọ́n ti gòkè rékọjá ìṣàn odò náà.” Wọ́n sì wá wọn kiri, wọn kò sì rí wọn, wọ́n sì yípadà sí Jerusalẹmu.
21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti lọ tán, àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì jáde kúrò nínú kànga, wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n sì rò fún Dafidi ọba. Wọ́n sọ fún Dafidi pé, “Dìde kí o sì gòkè odò kánkán, nítorí pé báyìí ni Ahitofeli gbìmọ̀ sí ọ.”
22 Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
Dafidi sì dìde, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì gòkè odò Jordani: kí ilẹ̀ tó mọ́, ènìyàn kò kù tí kò gòkè odò Jordani.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Nígbà tí Ahitofeli sì rí i pé wọn kò fi ìmọ̀ tirẹ̀ ṣe, ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ ni gàárì, ó sì dìde, ó lọ ilé rẹ̀, ó sì palẹ̀ ilé rẹ̀ mọ̀, ó sì so, ó sì kú, a sì sin ín sí ibojì baba rẹ̀. Absalomu gbógun ti Dafidi.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Dafidi sì wá sí Mahanaimu, Absalomu sì gòkè odò Jordani, òun àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa [was] a man’s son, whose name [was] Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
Absalomu sì fi Amasa ṣe olórí ogun ní ipò Joabu: Amasa ẹni tí í ṣe ọmọ ẹnìkan, orúkọ ẹni tí a ń pè ní Itira, ará Israẹli, tí ó wọlé tọ Abigaili ọmọbìnrin Nahaṣi, arábìnrin Seruiah, ìyá Joabu.
26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Israẹli àti Absalomu sì dó ní ilẹ̀ Gileadi.
27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Nígbà tí Dafidi sì wá sí Mahanaimu, Ṣobi ọmọ Nahaṣi ti Rabba tí àwọn ọmọ Ammoni, àti Makiri ọmọ Ammieli ti Lo-Debari, àti Barsillai ará Gileadi ti Rogelimu.
28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and parched [pulse],
Mú àwọn àkéte, àti àwọn àwo, àti ìkòkò amọ̀, àti alikama, àti ọkà barle, àti ìyẹ̀fun, àti àgbàdo díndín, àti ẹ̀wà, àti erèé, àti lẹntili.
29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that [were] with him, to eat: for they said, The people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
Àti oyin, àti òrí-àmọ́, àti àgùntàn, àti wàràǹkàṣì màlúù, wá fún Dafidi àti fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, láti jẹ: nítorí tí wọ́n wí pé, “Ebi ń pa àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì rẹ̀ wọ́n, òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ wọ́n ní aginjù.”
