< 2 Samuel 20 >

1 And there happened to be a man of worthlessness there, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he blows with a horn and says, “We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each [goes] to his tents, O Israel.”
Ọkùnrin Beliali kan sì ń bẹ níbẹ̀ orúkọ rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri ará Benjamini; ó sì fún ìpè ó sì wí pé, “Àwa kò ní ipa nínú Dafidi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa kò ni ìní nínú ọmọ Jese! Kí olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin lọ sí àgọ́ rẹ̀, ẹ̀yin Israẹli!”
2 And every man of Israel goes up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì lọ kúrò lẹ́yìn Dafidi, wọ́n sì ń tọ́ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì fi ara mọ́ ọba wọn láti odò Jordani wá títí ó fi dé Jerusalẹmu.
3 And David comes to his house at Jerusalem. And the king takes the ten women-concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and puts them in a house of ward and sustains them, and he has not gone in to them, and they are shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
Dafidi sì wà ní ilé rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu; ọba sì mú àwọn obìnrin mẹ́wàá tí í ṣe àlè rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó ti fi sílẹ̀ láti máa ṣọ́ ilé, Ó sì há wọn mọ́ ilé, ó sì ń bọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò sì tún wọlé tọ̀ wọ́n mọ́. A sì sé wọn mọ́ títí di ọjọ́ ikú wọn, wọ́n sì wà bí opó.
4 And the king says to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah for me [within] three days, and you, stand here,”
Ọba sì wí fún Amasa pé, “Pe àwọn ọkùnrin Juda fún mi ní ìwọ̀n ọjọ́ mẹ́ta òní, kí ìwọ náà kí o sì wà níhìn-ín yìí.”
5 and Amasa goes to call Judah, and tarries beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
Amasa sì lọ láti pe àwọn ọkùnrin Juda; ṣùgbọ́n ó sì dúró pẹ́ ju àkókò tí a fi fún un.
6 and David says to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri does evil to us more than Absalom; you, take the servants of your lord, and pursue after him, lest he has found fortified cities for himself, and delivered himself [from] our eye.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Abiṣai pé, “Nísinsin yìí Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri yóò ṣe wá ní ibi ju ti Absalomu lọ; ìwọ mú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa rẹ, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀, kí ó má ba à rí ìlú olódi wọ̀, kí ó sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wa.”
7 And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Joabu sì jáde tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, àti àwọn Kereti, àti àwọn Peleti, àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára, wọ́n sì ti Jerusalẹmu jáde lọ, láti lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
8 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa has gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; he has put his long robe on him, and on it a girdle—a sword [is] fastened on his loins in its sheath; and he has gone out, and it falls.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ibi òkúta ńlá tí ó wà ní Gibeoni, Amasa sì ṣáájú wọn, Joabu sì di àmùrè sí agbádá rẹ̀ tí ó wọ̀, ó sì sán idà rẹ̀ mọ́ ìdí, nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀, bí ó sì ti ń lọ, ó yọ́ jáde.
9 And Joab says to Amasa, “Are you [in] peace, my brother?” And the right hand of Joab lays hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to him;
Joabu sì bi Amasa léèrè pé, “Àlàáfíà ha kọ́ ni bí, ìwọ arákùnrin mi?” Joabu sì na ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀, di Amasa ní irùngbọ̀n mú láti fi ẹnu kò ó lẹ́nu.
10 and Amasa has not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he strikes him with it to the fifth [rib], and sheds out his bowels to the earth, and he has not repeated [it] to him, and he dies; and Joab and his brother Abishai have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
Ṣùgbọ́n Amasa kò sì kíyèsi idà tí ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ Joabu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun sì fi gún un ní ikùn, ìfun rẹ̀ sì tú dà sílẹ̀, òun kò sì tún gún un mọ́, Amasa sì kú. Joabu àti Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
11 And a man has stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and says, “He who has delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David—after Joab!”
Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdékùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Joabu sì dúró tì Amasa, ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn Joabu? Ta ni ó sì ń ṣe ti Dafidi, kí ó máa tọ Joabu lẹ́yìn.”
12 And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man sees that all the people have stood still, and he brings around Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casts a garment over him when he has seen that everyone who has come by him has stood still.
Amasa sì ń yíràá nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ láàrín ọ̀nà. Ọkùnrin náà sì rí i pé gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró tì í, ó sì gbé Amasa kúrò lójú ọ̀nà lọ sínú igbó, ó sì fi aṣọ bò ó, nígbà tí ó rí i pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, á dúró.
13 When he has been removed out of the highway, every man has passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
Nígbà tí ó sì gbé Amasa kúrò lójú ọ̀nà gbogbo ènìyàn sì tọ Joabu lẹ́yìn láti lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
14 And he passes over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and also go in after him,
Ṣeba kọjá nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli sí Abeli-Beti-Maaka, àti gbogbo àwọn ará Beri; wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn pẹ̀lú.
15 and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mound against the city, and it stands in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
Wọ́n wá, wọ́n sì dó tì Ṣeba ní Abeli-Beti-Maaka, wọ́n sì mọ odi ti ìlú náà, odi náà sì dúró ti odi ìlú náà, gbogbo ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Joabu sì ń gbìyànjú láti wó ògiri náà lulẹ̀.
16 And a wise woman calls out of the city, “Hear! Hear! Please say to Joab, Come near here, and I speak to you.”
Obìnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n kan sì kígbe sókè láti ìlú náà wá pé, “Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀! Èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ sọ fún Joabu pé, ‘Súnmọ́ ìhín yìí èmi ó sì bá a sọ̀rọ̀.’”
17 And he comes near to her, and the woman says, “Are you Joab?” And he says, “I [am].” And she says to him, “Hear the words of your handmaid”; and he says, “I am hearing.”
Nígbà tí òun sì súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ni Joabu bí?” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi náà ni.” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún un pé, “Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ń gbọ́.”
18 And she speaks, saying, “They spoke often in former times, saying, Let them diligently inquire at Abel, and so they finished.
Ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wọ́n ti ń wí ṣáájú pé, ‘Gba ìdáhùn rẹ ní Abeli,’ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì parí ọ̀ràn náà.
19 I [am] of the peaceable, faithful ones of Israel; you are seeking to destroy a city and mother in Israel; why do you swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?”
Èmi ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹni àlàáfíà àti olóòtítọ́ ní Israẹli, ìwọ ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa ìlú kan run tí ó jẹ́ ìyá ní Israẹli, èéṣe tí ìwọ ó fi gbé ìní Olúwa mì.”
20 And Joab answers and says, “Far be it—far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
Joabu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kí a má rí i, kí a má rí i lọ́dọ̀ mi pé èmi gbé mì tàbí èmi sì parun.
21 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim—Sheba son of Bichri [is] his name—has lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give him up by himself, and I go away from the city.” And the woman says to Joab, “Behold, his head is cast to you over the wall.”
Ọ̀ràn náà kò sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin kan láti òkè Efraimu, tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ṣeba, ọmọ Bikri, ni ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè sí ọba, àní sí Dafidi: fi òun nìkan ṣoṣo lé wa lọ́wọ́, èmi ó sì fi ìlú sílẹ̀.” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Wò ó, orí rẹ̀ ni a ó sì sọ láti inú odi wá.”
22 And the woman comes to all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] to Joab, and he blows with a horn, and they are scattered from the city, each [goes] to his tents, and Joab has turned back to Jerusalem to the king.
Obìnrin náà sì mú ìmọ́ràn rẹ̀ tọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà, wọ́n sì bẹ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri lórí, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ sí Joabu. Òun sì fún ìpè, wọ́n sì túká ní ìlú náà, olúkúlùkù sí àgọ́ rẹ̀. Joabu sí padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu àti sọ́dọ̀ ọba.
23 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
Joabu sì ni olórí gbogbo ogun Israẹli; Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì jẹ́ olórí àwọn Kereti, àti ti àwọn Peleti.
24 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,

25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,

26 and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David.
