Kings II 15
1 And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots 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 Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgment, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city are you? And he said, Your 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 Abessalom said to him, See, your affairs [are] right and clear, yet you have no one [appointed] of the king to hear you.
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 And Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him!
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 came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out 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 Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Abessalom gained 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 after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.
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 your servant vowed a vow when I lived at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I 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 to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Chebron.
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.” Ó sì dìde, ó sì lọ sí Hebroni.
10 And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When you hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall you say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
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 there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
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 Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
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 heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
Ẹnìkan sì wá rò fún Dafidi pé, “Ọkàn àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli ṣí sí Absalomu.”
14 And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and strike 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 to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] your servants.
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 and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his 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 and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house.
Ọba sì jáde, gbogbo ènìyàn sì tẹ̀lé e, wọ́n sì dúró ní ibìkan tí ó jìnnà.
18 And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they went 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 And the king said to Ethi, the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for you are a stranger, and you has come forth as a sojourner out of your 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 you came yesterday, shall I today cause you to travel with us, and shall you [thus] change your place? you did come forth yesterday, and today shall I set you in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go wherever I may go: return then, and cause your brethren to return with you, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with you.
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 Ethi answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wherever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall your 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 the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude 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. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on 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 behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed 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 to Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favor in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will show me it and its beauty.
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 should say thus, I have no pleasure in you; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.
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 And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, you shall return to the city in peace, and Achimaas your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
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 Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.
Wò ó, èmi ó dúró ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ijù náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ ó fi ti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá láti sọ fún mi.”
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued 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, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.
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 it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also [is] among the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray you, the counsel of Achitophel.
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 David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having tore his garment, and earth [was] 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 to him, If you should go over with me, then will you be a burden to me;
Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ìwọ bá bá mi kọjá, ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ ìdíwọ́ fún mi.
34 but if you shall return to the city, and shall say to Abessalom, Your brethren are passed over, and the king your father is passed over after me: and now I am your servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of your father, and now I [am] your humble servant—so shall you disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.
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, behold, [there are] there with you Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that you shall hear of the house of the king, you shall report it to Sadoc 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, [there are] there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them you shall report to me every word which you 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 Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
Huṣai ọ̀rẹ́ Dafidi sì wá sí ìlú, Absalomu sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
