2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul is going on and [is] weak.
Ogun náà sì pẹ́ títí láàrín ìdílé Saulu àti ìdílé Dafidi: agbára Dafidi sì ń pọ̀ sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìdílé Saulu ń rẹ̀yìn sí i.
2 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
Dafidi sì bí ọmọkùnrin ní Hebroni: Amnoni ni àkọ́bí rẹ̀ tí Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli bí fún un.
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
Èkejì rẹ̀ sì ni Kileabu, tí Abigaili aya Nabali ará Karmeli bí fún un; ẹ̀kẹta sì ni Absalomu ọmọ tí Maaka ọmọbìnrin Talmai ọba Geṣuri bí fún un.
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
Ẹ̀kẹrin sì ni Adonijah ọmọ Haggiti; àti ẹ̀karùnún ni Ṣefatia ọmọ Abitali;
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
Ẹ̀kẹfà sì ni Itreamu, tí Egla aya Dafidi bí fún un. Wọ̀nyí ni a bí fún Dafidi ni Hebroni.
6 And it comes to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner has been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ogun wà láàrín ìdílé Saulu àti ìdílé Dafidi, Abneri sì dì alágbára ní ìdílé Saulu.
7 and Saul has a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] says to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
Saulu ti ní àlè kan, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Rispa, ọmọbìnrin Aiah: Iṣboṣeti sì bi Abneri léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wọlé tọ àlè baba mi lọ.”
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Abner, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he says, “[Am] I the head of a dog—that in reference to Judah, today I do kindness with the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David—that you charge against me iniquity concerning the woman today?
Abneri sì bínú gidigidi nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ti Iṣboṣeti sọ fún un, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi jẹ́ bí orí ajá ti Juda bí? Di òní yìí ni mo ṣàánú fún ìdílé Saulu baba rẹ, àti fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti fún àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, tí èmi kò sì fi ọ́ lé Dafidi lọ́wọ́, ìwọ sì kà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí mí lọ́rùn nítorí obìnrin yìí lónìí?
9 Thus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe Abneri, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí Olúwa ti búra fún Dafidi, bí èmi kò ní ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ fún un.
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.”
Láti mú ìjọba náà kúrò ní ìdílé Saulu, àti láti gbé ìtẹ́ Dafidi kalẹ̀ lórí Israẹli, àti lórí Juda, láti Dani títí ó fi dé Beerṣeba.”
11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.
Òun kò sì lè dá Abneri lóhùn kan nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
12 And Abner sends messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand [is] with you, to bring around all Israel to you.”
Abneri sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ sí Dafidi nítorí rẹ̀ wí pé, “Ti ta ni ilẹ̀ náà ń ṣe? Bá mi ṣe àdéhùn, èmi yóò si kó gbogbo Israẹli tọ̀ ọ́ wá.”
13 And [David] says, “Good—I make a covenant with you; only, one thing I am asking of you, that is, you do not see my face, except [that] you first bring in Michal daughter of Saul in your coming in to see my face.”
Òun sì wí pé, “Ó dára, èmi ó bá ọ ṣe àdéhùn, ṣùgbọ́n ohun kan ni èmi ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, èyí ni pé, ìwọ kì yóò rí ojú mi, àfi bí ìwọ bá kọ́ mú Mikali ọmọbìnrin Saulu wá, nígbà tí ìwọ bá wá, láti rí ojú mi.”
14 And David sends messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Dafidi sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu pé, “Fi Mikali obìnrin mi lé mi lọ́wọ́, ẹni tí èmi ti fi ọgọ́rùn-ún awọ iwájú orí àwọn Filistini fẹ́.”
15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
Iṣboṣeti sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì gbà á lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin tí a ń pè ní Paltieli ọmọ Laiṣi.
16 and her husband goes with her, going on and weeping behind her, to Bahurim, and Abner says to him, “Go, return”; and he turns back.
Ọkọ rẹ̀ sì ń bà a lọ, ó ń rìn, ó sì ń sọkún lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ títí ó fi dé Bahurimu Abneri sì wí fún un pé, “Padà sẹ́yìn!” Òun sì padà.
17 And the word of Abner was with [the] elderly of Israel, saying, “Thus far you have been seeking David for king over you,
Abneri sì bá àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣe àfẹ́rí Dafidi ní ìgbà àtijọ́, láti jẹ ọba lórí yín.
18 and now, do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David saying, [It is] by the hand of my servant David to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.”
Ǹjẹ́ ẹ ṣe, nítorí tí Olúwa ti sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Láti ọwọ́ Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi lé mi ó gba Israẹli ènìyàn mi là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini àti lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn.’”
19 And Abner also speaks in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner also goes to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
Abneri sì sọ̀rọ̀ létí Benjamini: Abneri sì lọ sọ létí Dafidi ní Hebroni, gbogbo èyí tí ó dára lójú Israẹli, àti lójú gbogbo ilé Benjamini.
20 and Abner comes to David, to Hebron, and twenty men [are] with him, and David makes a banquet for Abner and for the men who [are] with him.
Abneri sì tọ Dafidi wá ní Hebroni, ogún ọmọkùnrin sì lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ Dafidi sì ṣe àsè fún Abneri àti fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
21 And Abner says to David, “I arise, and go, and gather the whole of Israel to my lord the king, and they make a covenant with you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires”; and David sends Abner away, and he goes in peace.
Abneri sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Èmi ó dìde, èmi ó sì lọ, èmi ó sì kó gbogbo Israẹli jọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba olúwa mi, wọn ó sì bá a ṣe àdéhùn, ìwọ ó sì jẹ ọba gbogbo wọn bí ọkàn rẹ ti ń fẹ́.” Dafidi sì rán Abneri lọ; òun sì lọ ní àlàáfíà.
22 And behold, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and have brought much spoil with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he has sent him away, and he goes in peace;
Sì wò ó, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi àti Joabu sì ti ibi ìlépa ẹgbẹ́ ogun kan bọ̀, wọ́n sì mú ìkógun púpọ̀ bọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Abneri kò sí lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi ní Hebroni; nítorí tí òun ti rán an lọ, òun sì ti lọ ní àlàáfíà.
23 and Joab and all the host that [were] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner has come to the king, and he sends him away, and he goes in peace.”
Nígbà tí Joabu àti gbogbo ogun tí ó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì dé, wọ́n sì sọ fún Joabu pé Abneri, ọmọ Neri ti tọ ọba wá, òun sì ti rán an lọ, ó sì ti lọ ní àlàáfíà.
24 And Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you! Why [is] this—you have sent him away, and he is really gone?
Joabu sì tọ ọba wá, ó sì sọ pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ṣe yìí? Wò ó, Abneri tọ̀ ọ́ wá; èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ sì fi rán an lọ? Òun sì ti lọ.
25 You have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
Ìwọ mọ Abneri ọmọ Neri, pé ó wá láti tàn ọ́ jẹ ni, àti láti mọ ìjáde lọ rẹ, àti wíwọlé rẹ́ àti láti mọ gbogbo èyí tí ìwọ ń ṣe.”
26 And Joab goes out from David, and sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David did not know.
Nígbà tí Joabu sì jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi, ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ láti lépa Abneri, wọ́n sì pè é padà láti ibi kànga Sira, Dafidi kò sì mọ̀.
27 And Abner turns back to Hebron, and Joab turns him aside to the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the fifth [rib]—and he dies—for the blood of his brother Asahel.
Abneri sì padà sí Hebroni, Joabu sì bá a tẹ̀ láàrín ojú ọ̀nà láti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ ní àlàáfíà, ó sì gún un níbẹ̀ lábẹ́ inú, ó sì kú, nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ Asaheli arákùnrin rẹ̀.
28 And David hears afterward and says, “My kingdom and I [are] acquitted by YHWH for all time, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi sì gbọ́ ọ, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi àti ìjọba mi sì jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi níwájú Olúwa títí láé, ní ti ẹ̀jẹ̀ Abneri ọmọ Neri,
29 it stays on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one who has discharging, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.”
jẹ́ kí ó wà ní orí Joabu, àti ní orí gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀; kí a má sì fẹ́ ẹni ó tí ní ààrùn ìsun, tàbí adẹ́tẹ̀, tàbí ẹni tí ń tẹ ọ̀pá, tàbí ẹni tí a ó fi idà pa, tàbí ẹni tí ó ṣe aláìní oúnjẹ kù ní ilé Joabu.”
30 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.
(Joabu àti Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì pa Abneri, nítorí pé òun ti pa Asaheli arákùnrin wọn ní Gibeoni ní ogun.)
31 And David says to Joab, and to all the people who [are] with him, “Tear your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner”; and King David is going after the bier.
Dafidi sì wí fún Joabu àti fún gbogbo ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ fa aṣọ yín ya, kí ẹ̀yin sì mú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì sọkún níwájú Abneri.” Dafidi ọba tìkára rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé pósí rẹ̀.
32 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifts up his voice, and weeps at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
Wọ́n sì sin Abneri ní Hebroni, ọba sì gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì sọkún ní ibojì Abneri; gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì sọkún.
33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?
Ọba sì sọkún lórí Abneri, ó sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ Abneri ó yẹ kí ó kú bí aṣiwèrè?
34 Your hands not bound, And your feet not brought near to chains! You have fallen as one falling before sons of evil!” And all the people add to weep over him.
A kò sá à dè ọ́ lọ́wọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò kan ẹsẹ̀ rẹ ní àbà. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn tí ń ṣubú níwájú àwọn ìkà ènìyàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ ṣubú.” Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì tún sọkún lórí rẹ̀.
35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David swears, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, for—before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.”
Nígbà tí gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá láti gba Dafidi ní ìyànjú kí ó jẹun, nígbà tí ọjọ́ sì ń bẹ, Dafidi sì búra wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, bí èmi yóò bá tọ́ oúnjẹ wò, tàbí nǹkan mìíràn títí oòrùn yóò fi wọ̀!”
36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king has done is good in the eyes of all the people;
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì kíyèsi i, ó sì dára lójú wọn, gbogbo èyí tí ọba ṣe sì dára lójú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà.
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it has not been from the king—to put Abner son of Ner to death.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà àti gbogbo Israẹli sì mọ̀ lọ́jọ́ náà pé, kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ ọba láti pa Abneri ọmọ Neri.
38 And the king says to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?
Ọba sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé olórí àti ẹni ńlá kan ni ó ṣubú lónìí ní Israẹli.
39 And today I [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; YHWH repays to the doer of the evil according to his evil.”
