2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knows that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
Joabu ọmọ Seruiah sì kíyèsi i, pé ọkàn ọba sì fà sí Absalomu.
2 and Joab sends to Tekoah, and takes a wise woman from there, and says to her, “Please feign yourself a mourner, and now put on garments of mourning, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and you have been as a woman mourning for the dead [for] these many days,
Joabu sì ránṣẹ́ sí Tekoa, ó sì mú ọlọ́gbọ́n obìnrin kan láti ibẹ̀ wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, ṣe bí ẹni tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, kí o sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ sára, kí o má sì ṣe fi òróró pa ara, kí o sì dàbí obìnrin ti ó ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún òkú lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀.
3 and you have gone to the king, and spoken to him, according to this word”; and Joab puts the words into her mouth.
Kí o sì tọ ọba wá, kí o sọ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.” Joabu sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ sí lẹ́nu.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaks to the king, and falls on her face to the earth, and pays respect, and says, “Save, O king.”
Nígbà tí obìnrin àrá Tekoa sì ń fẹ́ sọ̀rọ̀ fún ọba, ó wólẹ̀, ó dojúbolẹ̀, o sí bu ọlá fún un, o sì wí pé, “Ọba, gbà mi.”
5 And the king says to her, “What do you [want]?” And she says, “I [am] truly a widow woman, and my husband dies,
Ọba sì bi í léèrè pé, “Kín ni o ṣe ọ́?” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ opó ni èmi ń ṣe, ọkọ mi sì kú.
6 and your maidservant has two sons; and both of them strive in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and one strikes the other, and puts him to death;
Ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ sì ti ní ọmọkùnrin méjì, àwọn méjèèjì sì jọ jà lóko, kò sì si ẹni tí yóò là wọ́n, èkínní sì lu èkejì, ó sì pa á.
7 and behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and say, Give up him who strikes his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he has slain, and we also destroy the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set a name and remnant on the face of the ground for my husband.”
Sì wò ó, gbogbo ìdílé dìde sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Fi ẹni tí ó pa arákùnrin rẹ fún wa, àwa ó sì pa á ní ipò ẹ̀mí arákùnrin rẹ̀ tí ó pa, àwa ó sì pa àrólé náà run pẹ̀lú.’ Wọn ó sì pa iná mi tí ó kù, wọn kì yóò sì fi orúkọ tàbí ẹni tí ó kú sílẹ̀ fún ọkọ mi ní ayé.”
8 And the king says to the woman, “Go to your house, and I give charge concerning you.”
Ọba sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Lọ sí ilé rẹ̀, èmi ó sì kìlọ̀ nítorí rẹ.”
9 And the woman of Tekoah says to the king, “On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.”
Obìnrin ará Tekoa náà sì wí fún ọba pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba, jẹ́ kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà wà lórí mi, àti lórí ìdílé baba mí; kí ọba àti ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ó jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi.”
10 And the king says, “He who speaks to you, and you have brought him to me, then he does not add to come against you anymore.”
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ, mú ẹni náà tọ̀ mí wá, òun kì yóò sì tọ́ ọ mọ́.”
11 And she says, “Please let the king remember by your God YHWH, that the redeemer of blood does not add to destroy, and they do not destroy my son”; and he says, “YHWH lives; if there falls [even one] hair of your son to the earth.”
Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí ọba ó rántí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, kí olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ má ṣe ní ipá láti ṣe ìparun, kí wọn o má bá a pa ọmọ mi!” Òun sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè ọ̀kan nínú irun orí ọmọ rẹ ki yóò bọ sílẹ̀.”
12 And the woman says, “Please let your maidservant speak a word to my lord the king”; and he says, “Speak.”
Obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sọ̀rọ̀ kan fún olúwa mi ọba.” Òun si wí pé, “Máa wí.”
13 And the woman says, “And why have you thought thus concerning the people of God? Indeed, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king has not brought back his outcast;
Obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Nítorí kín ni ìwọ sì ṣe ro irú nǹkan yìí sí àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run? Nítorí pé ní sísọ nǹkan yìí ọba ní ẹ̀bi, nítorí pé ọba kò mú ìsáǹsá rẹ̀ bọ̀ wá ilé.
14 for we surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God does not accept a person, and has devised plans in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
Nítorí pé àwa ó sá à kú, a ó sì dàbí omi tí a tú sílẹ̀ tí a kò sì lè ṣàjọ mọ́; nítorí bí Ọlọ́run kò ti gbà ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ó sì ti ṣe ọ̀nà kí a má bá a lé ìsáǹsá rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
15 And now that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and your maidservant says, Please let me speak to the king; it may be the king does the word of his handmaid,
“Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ni èmi sì ṣe wá sọ nǹkan yìí fún olúwa mi ọba, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ènìyàn ti dẹ́rùbà mí; ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ èmi ó sọ fún ọba; ó lè rí bẹ́ẹ̀ pé ọba yóò ṣe ìfẹ́ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ fún un.
16 for the king listens to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
Nítorí pé ọba ò gbọ́, láti gbà ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin náà tí ó ń fẹ́ gé èmi àti ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú kúrò nínú ilẹ̀ ìní Ọlọ́run.’
17 and your maidservant says, Please let the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and your God YHWH is with you.”
“Ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba olúwa mi yóò sì jásí ìtùnú; nítorí bí angẹli Ọlọ́run bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúwa mi ọba láti mọ rere àti búburú: Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.’”
18 And the king answers and says to the woman, “Please do not hide from me the thing that I am asking you”; and the woman says, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
Ọba sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Má ṣe fi nǹkan tí èmi ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ pamọ́ fún mi, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́.” Obìnrin náà wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí olúwa mi ọba máa wí?”
19 And the king says, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answers and says, “Your soul lives, my lord, O king, none [turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ọwọ́ Joabu kò ha wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nínú gbogbo èyí?” Obìnrin náà sì dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Bí ẹ̀mí rẹ ti ń bẹ láààyè, olúwa mi ọba, kò sí ìyípadà sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún, tàbí sí ọwọ́ òsì nínú gbogbo èyí tí olúwa mi ọba ti wí, nítorí pé Joabu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, òun ni ó rán mi, òun ni ó sì fi gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ lẹ́nu.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing in order to bring around the appearance of the thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.”
Láti mú irú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wá ni Joabu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ṣe ṣe nǹkan yìí: olúwa mi sì gbọ́n, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọgbọ́n angẹli Ọlọ́run, láti mọ gbogbo nǹkan tí ń bẹ̀ ní ayé.”
21 And the king says to Joab, “Now behold, you have done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
Ọba sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Wò ó, èmi ó ṣe nǹkan yìí, nítorí náà lọ, kí o sì mú ọmọdékùnrin náà Absalomu padà wá.”
22 And Joab falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and blesses the king, and Joab says, “Today your servant has known that I have found grace in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant.”
Joabu sì wólẹ̀ ó dojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba fún un, ó sì súre fún ọba. Joabu sì wí pé, “Lónìí ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ̀ pé, èmi rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà lójú rẹ, olúwa mi, ọba, nítorí pé ọba ṣe ìfẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.”
23 And Joab rises and goes to Geshur, and brings in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Joabu sì dìde, ó sì lọ sí Geṣuri, ó sì mú Absalomu wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
24 and the king says, “Let him turn around to his house, and he does not see my face.” And Absalom turns around to his house, and he has not seen the face of the king.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó yípadà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó rí ojú mi.” Absalomu sì yípadà sí ilé rẹ̀, kò sì rí ojú ọba.
25 And there was no man [so] beautiful in all Israel like Absalom, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even to his crown there was no blemish in him;
Kó sì sí arẹwà kan ní gbogbo Israẹli tí à bá yìn bí Absalomu: láti àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ títí dé àtàrí rẹ̀ kò sí àbùkù kan lára rẹ̀.
26 and in his shaving his head—and it has been at the end of year by year that he shaves [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he has shaved it—he has even weighed out the hair of his head—two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
Nígbà tí ó bá sì rẹ́ irun orí rẹ̀ (nítorí pé lọ́dọọdún ni òun máa ń rẹ́ ẹ. Nígbà tí ó bá wúwo fún un, òun a sì máa rẹ́ ẹ) òun sì wọn irun orí rẹ̀, ó sì jásí igba ṣékélì nínú òsùwọ̀n ọba.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
A sì bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta fún Absalomu àti ọmọbìnrin kan ti orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Tamari: òun sì jẹ́ obìnrin tí ó lẹ́wà lójú.
28 And Absalom dwells in Jerusalem [for] two years of days, and he has not seen the face of the king;
Absalomu sì gbé ni ọdún méjì ní Jerusalẹmu kò sì rí ojú ọba.
29 and Absalom sends to Joab, to send him to the king, and he has not been willing to come to him; and he sends again a second time, and he has not been willing to come.
Absalomu sì ránṣẹ́ sí Joabu, láti rán an sí ọba, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò fẹ́ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀; ó sì ránṣẹ́ lẹ́ẹ̀kejì òun kò sì fẹ́ wá.
30 And he says to his servants, “See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he has barley there; go and burn it with fire”; and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Ó sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, oko Joabu gbé ti èmi, ó sì ní ọkà barle níbẹ̀; ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì ti iná bọ̀ ọ́.” Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Absalomu sì tiná bọ oko náà.
31 And Joab rises and comes to Absalom in the house, and says to him, “Why have your servants burned the portion that I have with fire?”
Joabu sì dìde, ó sì tọ Absalomu wá ní ilé, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fi tiná bọ oko mi?”
32 And Absalom says to Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, and I send you to the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? [It was] good for me while I [was] there—and now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me then you have put me to death.”
Absalomu sì dá Joabu lóhùn pé, “Wò ó, èmi ránṣẹ́ sí ọ, wí pé, ‘Wá níhìn-ín yìí, èmi ó sì rán ọ lọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba, láti béèrè pé, “Kí ni èmi ti Geṣuri wá si? Ìbá sàn fún mí bí ó ṣe pé èmi wà lọ́hùn ún síbẹ̀!”’ Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí jẹ́ kí èmi lọ síwájú ọba bí ó bá sì ṣe ẹ̀bi ń bẹ nínú mi, kí ó pa mí.”
33 And Joab comes to the king, and declares [it] to him, and he calls to Absalom, and he comes to the king, and bows himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king gives a kiss to Absalom.
Joabu sì tọ ọba wá, ó sì rò fún un: ó sì ránṣẹ́ pe Absalomu, òun sì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba, ó tẹríba fún un, ó sì dojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀ níwájú ọba, ọba sì fi ẹnu ko Absalomu lẹ́nu.
