2 Samuel 19
1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
A sì rò fún Joabu pe, “Wò ó, ọba ń sọkún, ó sì ń gbààwẹ̀ fún Absalomu.”
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
Ìṣẹ́gun ọjọ́ náà sì di àwẹ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn náà gbọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà bí inú ọba ti bàjẹ́ nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀.
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yọ́ lọ sí ìlú ní ọjọ́ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn bí ènìyàn tí a dójútì ṣe máa ń yọ́ lọ nígbà tí wọ́n bá sá lójú ìjà.
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
Ọba sì bo ojú rẹ̀, ọba sì kígbe ní ohùn rara pé, “Á à! Ọmọ mi Absalomu! Absalomu ọmọ mi, ọmọ mi!”
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
Joabu sì wọ inú ilé tọ ọba lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ dójúti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lónìí, àwọn tí ó gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là lónìí, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, àti ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, àti àwọn aya rẹ̀, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn obìnrin rẹ.
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
Nítorí pé ìwọ fẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, ìwọ sì kórìíra àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí tí ìwọ wí lónìí pé, Ìwọ kò náání àwọn ọmọ ọba tàbí àwọn ìránṣẹ́; èmi sì rí lónìí pé, ìbá ṣe pé Absalomu wà láààyè, kí gbogbo wa sì kú lónìí, ǹjẹ́ ìbá dùn mọ́ ọ gidigidi.
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
Sì dìde nísinsin yìí, lọ, kí o sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìtùnú fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí pé èmi fi Olúwa búra, bí ìwọ kò bá lọ, ẹnìkan kì yóò bá ọ dúró ni alẹ́ yìí, èyí ni yóò sì burú fún ọ ju gbogbo ibi tí ojú rẹ ti ń rí láti ìgbà èwe rẹ wá títí ó fi di ìsinsin yìí.”
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
Ọba sì dìde, ó sì jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọ́n sì wí fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Wò ó, ọba jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.” Gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá sí iwájú ọba. Nítorí pé, Israẹli ti sá, olúkúlùkù sí àgọ́ rẹ̀.
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì ń bà ara wọn jà nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, pé, “Ọba ti gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa, ó sì ti gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini; òun sì wá sá kúrò ní ìlú nítorí Absalomu.
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
Absalomu, tí àwa fi jẹ ọba lórí wa sì kú ní ogun, ǹjẹ́ èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi dákẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ kan láti mú ọba padà wá?”
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
Dafidi ọba sì ránṣẹ́ sí Sadoku, àti sí Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Juda, pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá sí ilé rẹ̀? Ọ̀rọ̀ gbogbo Israẹli sì ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọba àní ní ilé rẹ̀.
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
Ẹ̀yin ni ara mi, ẹ̀yin ni egungun mi, àti ẹran-ara mi: èéṣì ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá.’
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
Kí ẹ̀yin sì wí fún Amasa pé, ‘Egungun àti ẹran-ara mi kọ́ ni ìwọ jẹ́ bí? Kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ kò ba ṣe olórí ogun níwájú mi títí, ní ipò Joabu.’”
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
Òun sì yí gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lọ́kàn padà àní bí ọkàn ènìyàn kan; wọ́n sì ránṣẹ́ sí ọba, pé, “Ìwọ padà àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
Ọba sì padà, o sì wá sí odò Jordani. Juda sì wá sí Gilgali láti lọ pàdé ọba, àti láti mú ọba kọjá odò Jordani.
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
Ṣimei ọmọ Gera, ará Benjamini ti Bahurimu, ó yára ó sì bá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti pàdé Dafidi ọba.
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
Ẹgbẹ̀rún ọmọkùnrin sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin Benjamini, Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ ilé Saulu, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti ogún ìránṣẹ́ sì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; wọ́n sì gòkè odò Jordani ṣáájú ọba.
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
Ọkọ̀ èrò kan ti rékọjá láti kó àwọn ènìyàn ilé ọba sí òkè, àti láti ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀. Ṣimei ọmọ Gera wólẹ̀. Ó sì dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú ọba, bí ó tí gòkè odò Jordani.
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi ó má ṣe ka ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí mi lọ́rùn, má sì ṣe rántí àfojúdi tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣe ni ọjọ́ tí olúwa mi ọba jáde ní Jerusalẹmu, kí ọba má sì fi sí inú.
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
Nítorí pé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ̀ pé èmi ti ṣẹ̀; sì wò ó, mo wá lónìí yìí, ẹni àkọ́kọ́ ní gbogbo ìdílé Josẹfu tí yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá pàdé olúwa mi ọba.”
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
Ṣùgbọ́n Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Kò ha tọ́ kí a pa Ṣimei nítorí èyí? Nítorí pé òun ti bú ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.”
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
Dafidi sì wí pé, “Kí ni èmi ní ṣe pẹ̀lú yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Seruiah tí ẹ dàbí ọ̀tá fún mi lónìí? A ha lè pa ènìyàn kan lónìí ní Israẹli? Tàbí èmi kò ha mọ̀ pé lónìí èmi ni ọba Israẹli.”
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
Ọba sì wí fún Ṣimei pé, “Ìwọ kì yóò kú!” Ọba sì búra fún un.
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
Mefiboṣeti ọmọ Saulu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wá pàdé ọba, kò wẹ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, kò sí tọ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ láti ọjọ́ tí ọba ti jáde títí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí ó fi padà ní àlàáfíà.
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Nígbà tí òun sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti pàdé ọba, ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi bá mi lọ, Mefiboṣeti?”
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba, ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ó tàn mí, nítorí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún un pé, ‘Di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi èmi ó gùn ún, èmi ó sì tọ ọba lọ.’ Nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yarọ.
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
Ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìbàjẹ́ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, fún olúwa mi ọba, ṣùgbọ́n bí angẹli Ọlọ́run ni olúwa mi ọba rí, nítorí náà ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú rẹ.
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
Nítorí pé gbogbo ilé baba mi bí òkú ènìyàn ni wọ́n sá à rí níwájú olúwa mi ọba, ìwọ sì fi ipò fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láàrín àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní ibi oúnjẹ. Nítorí náà àre kín ni èmi ní tí èmi yóò fi máa ké pe ọba síbẹ̀.”
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń sọ ọ̀ràn ara rẹ fún mi èmi sá à ti wí pé, kí ìwọ àti Ṣiba pín ilẹ̀ náà.”
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
Mefiboṣeti sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó mú gbogbo rẹ̀, kí olúwa mi ọba sá à ti padà bọ̀ wá ilé rẹ̀ ni àlàáfíà.”
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
Barsillai ará Gileadi sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Rogelimu wá, ó sì bá ọba gòkè odò Jordani, láti ṣe ìkẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ìkọjá odò Jordani.
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
Barsillai sì jẹ́ arúgbó ọkùnrin gidigidi, ẹni ogbó ọgọ́rin ọdún sì ni, ó sì pèsè ohun jíjẹ fún ọba nígbà tí ó ti wà ní Mahanaimu; nítorí pé ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá ni òun ń ṣe.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
Ọba sì wí fún Barsillai pé, “Ìwọ wá bá mi gòkè odò, èmi ó sì máa pèsè fún ọ ní Jerusalẹmu.”
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
Barsillai sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ọjọ́ mélòó ni ọdún ẹ̀mí mi kù, tí èmi ó fi bá ọba gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]

37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ padà, èmi ó sì kú ní ìlú mi, a ó sì sin mí ní ibojì baba àti ìyá mi. Sì wo Kimhamu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, yóò bá olúwa mi ọba gòkè; ìwọ ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó bá tọ́ lójú rẹ fún un.”
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kimhamu yóò bá mi gòkè, èmi ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀ fún un; ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi ó ṣe é fún ọ.”
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì gòkè odò Jordani ọba sì gòkè; ọba sì fi ẹnu ko Barsillai lẹ́nu, ó sì súre fún un; òun sì padà sí ilé rẹ̀.
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
Ọba sì ń lọ́ sí Gilgali, Kimhamu sì ń bà a lọ, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda sì ń ṣe ìkẹ́ ọba, àti ààbọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
Sì wò ó, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì tọ ọba wá, wọ́n sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn arákùnrin wa àwọn ọkùnrin Juda fi jí ọ kúrò, tí wọ́n sì fi mú ọba àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ gòkè odò Jordani, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Dafidi pẹ̀lú rẹ?”
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
Gbogbo ọkùnrin Juda sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli lóhùn pé, “Nítorí pé ọba bá wa tan ni; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi bínú nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí? Àwa jẹ nínú oúnjẹ ọba rárá bí? Tàbí ó fi ẹ̀bùn kan fún wa bí?”
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli náà sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lóhùn pé, “Àwa ní ipá mẹ́wàá nínú ọba, àwa sì ní nínú Dafidi jù yín lọ, èéṣì ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kà wá sí, tí ìmọ̀ wa kò fi ṣáájú láti mú ọba wa padà?” Ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì le ju ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli.
