< 2 Samuel 19 >
1 Forsothe it was teld to Joab, that the kyng wepte, and biweilide his sone;
Ankyɛ na nkra duu Yoab nkyɛn se ɔhene no resu, redi awerɛhow wɔ Absalom ho.
2 and the victorie in that dai was turned in to morenyng to al the puple; for the puple herde, that it was seid in that dai, The kyng makith sorewe on his sone.
Bere a asraafo no tee ɔhene no awerɛhow a ɔredi wɔ ne ba no ho no, nkonimdi mu anigye a na wɔwɔ mu saa da no dan awerɛhow.
3 And the puple eschewide to entre in to the citee in that dai, as the puple turned and fleynge fro batel is wont to bowe awey.
Wowiaa wɔn ho kɔɔ kurow no mu sɛnea wɔn a wɔadi nkogu de aniwu guan fi ɔko mu.
4 Sotheli the kyng hilide his heed, and criede with greet vois, My sone, Absolon!
Ɔhene de ne nsa kataa nʼanim, kɔɔ so twaa adwo se, “Ao, me ba Absalom! Ao, Absalom, me ba, me ba!”
5 Absolon, my sone! Therfor Joab entride to the kyng in to the hows, and seide, Thou hast schent to dai the cheris of alle thi seruauntis, that han maad saaf thi lijf, and the lijf of thi sones and of thi douytris, and the lijf of thi wyues, and the lijf of thi secoundarie wyues.
Na Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene no dan mu kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nnɛ yɛagye wo, ne wo mmabarima, ne wo mmabea, ne wo yerenom, ne wo mpenanom nkwa. Nanso woreyɛ eyi de gu yɛn anim ase te sɛ nea yɛayɛ bɔne bi.
6 Thou louest hem that haten thee, and thou hatist hem that louen thee; and thou schewidist to dai that thou reckist not of thi duykis and of thi seruauntis; and verily Y haue knowe now, that if Absolon lyuede, and alle we hadden be deed, thanne it schulde plese thee.
Wodɔ wʼatamfo, na wotan wʼadɔfo. Woada no adi nnɛ sɛ, yɛnsɛ hwee mma wo. Sɛ Absalom te ase, na yɛn nyinaa awuwu a, anka wopɛ no saa.
7 Now therfor ryse thou, and go forth, and speke thou, and make satisfaccioun to this eruauntis; for Y swere to thee bi the Lord, that if thou schalt not go out, sotheli not o man schal dwelle with thee in this nyyt; and this schal be worse to thee, than alle yuels that camen on thee fro thi yong wexynge age til in to present tyme.
Afei, fi kɔ mprempren, na kɔma asraafo no mo, na mebɔ Awurade din, ka ntam se, sɛ woanyɛ saa a, wɔn mu baako koraa nka ha anadwo yi. Na ɛbɛma woagyigya asen kan no.”
8 Therfor the kyng roos, and sat in the yate; and it was teld to al the puple, that the kyng sat in the yate, and al the multitude cam bifor the kyng. Forsothe Israel fledde in to hise tabernaclis.
Na ɔhene no fii adi kɔtenaa kurow no abɔntenpon no ano. Na asɛm no trɛw kurow no mu nyinaa sɛ ɔwɔ hɔ no, obiara kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Saa bere no na Israelfo a wɔtaa Absalom akyi no nyinaa aguan kɔ wɔn afi mu.
9 And al the puple stryuede in al the lynagis of Israel, and seide, The kyng delyuerede vs fro the hond of alle oure enemyes, and he sauide vs fro the hond of Filisteis; and now `he fleeth fro the lond for Absolon.
Na Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu, na wɔredi abooboo, gye akyinnye. Na nnipa no reka se, “Ɔhene no gyee yɛn fii atamfo a wɔyɛ Filistifo nsam, nanso Absalom taa no, pam no fii ɔman no mu.
10 Forsothe Absolon, whom we anoyntiden on vs, is deed in batel; hou longe ben ye stille, `that is, fro knowlechyng of synne, and fro axyng of foryyuenesse, and bryngen not ayen the kyng? And the counsel of al Israel cam to the kyng.
Na mprempren Absalom a wɔsraa no sɛ ommedi yɛn so hene no nso awu. Momma yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ Dawid na ɔnsan mmra mmedi yɛn so.”
11 Forsothe kyng Dauid sente to Sadoch and to Abiathar, preestis, and seide, Speke ye to the grettere men in birthe of Juda, and seie ye, Whi camen ye the laste to brynge ayen the kyng in to his hows? Sotheli the word of al Israel cam to the kyng, that thei wolden brynge hym ayen in to his hows. For the kyng seide, Ye schulen seie these thingis to the puple,
Na ɔhene Dawid somaa asɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar, ma wokobisaa Yuda mpanyimfo se, “Adɛn nti na mo de, mompɛ sɛ mode ɔhene ahenni bɛsan ama no? Na mate sɛ Israel nyinaa ayɛ krado, na mo nko ara na motwentwɛn mo anan ase.
12 Ye ben my britheren, ye ben my boon and my fleisch; whi the laste bryngen ye ayens the kyng?
Moyɛ mʼabusuafo, mʼabusuakuw, mʼankasa me honam ne me mogya. Na ɛno nti, adɛn nti na mutwa to wɔ wɔn a wɔpene sɛ mɛsan aba no mu?”
13 And seie ye to Amasa, Whether thou art not my boon and my fleisch? God do these thingis to me, and adde these thingis, if thou schalt not be maistir of chyualrye bifore me in al tyme aftir Joab.
Dawid ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Amasa se, “Sɛ woyɛ me wɔfaase yi, sɛ manyɛ wo ɔsahene ansi Yoab anan mu a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no nwenweenwen.”
14 And Dauid bowide the herte of alle men of Juda as of o man; and thei senten to the kyng, and seiden, Turne thou ayen, and alle thi seruauntis.
Afei, Amasa bɔɔ Yuda ntuanofo no nyinaa adafa, ma wotiee no sɛ nnipa koro. Wɔde saa asɛm yi kɔtoo ɔhene anim se, “Wo ne wɔn a wɔne wo wɔ hɔ no nyinaa mmra yɛn nkyɛn.”
15 And the kyng turnede ayen, and cam `til to Jordan; and al Juda cam til in to Galgala to mete the kyng, and lede hym ouer Jordan.
Na ɔhene no de nʼani kyerɛɛ Yerusalem. Oduu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, Yudafo behyiaa no sɛ wɔde no retwa asu no.
16 Forsothe Semei, the sone of Gera, sone of Gemyny, of Bahurym, hastide, and cam doun with the men of Juda in to the metyng of kyng Dauid,
Gera a ɔyɛ Benyaminni a ofi Bahurim babarima Simei ne Yuda mmarima yɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa ɔhene Dawid.
17 with a thousynde men of Beniamyn; and Siba, a child of the hows of Saul, and fiftene sones of hym, and twenti seruauntis weren with hym; and thei braken in to Jordan, bifor the kyng,
Ɔrekɔ no, na Benyaminfo apem ka ne ho, a na Siba a na ɔyɛ Saulo fi mu soodoni ne ne mmabarima dunum ne nʼasomfo aduonu ka ho. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm dii ɔhene no kan koduu Yordan hɔ.
18 and passide the forthis, that thei schulden lede ouer the hows of the kyng, and schulden do bi the comaundement of the kyng. Sotheli Semei, the sone of Gera, knelide bifor the king, whanne he hadde passid now Jordan, and seide to the kyng,
Wotwa kɔɔ baabi a ɛhɔ nnɔ kɔfaa ɔhene fifo no de wɔn twaa asu no, na wɔyɛɛ nea wɔpɛ biara maa wɔn. Bere a Gera ba Simei twaa asu no, kɔkotow ɔhene no,
19 My lord the kyng, arette thou not wickidnesse to me, nether haue thou mynde of the wrongis of thi seruaunt in the dai, in which thou, my lord the kyng, yedist out of Jerusalem, nether sette thou, kyng, in thin herte; for Y thi seruaunt knoleche my synne;
srɛɛ no se, “Me wura ɔhene, fa me bɔne kyɛ me. Nkae bɔne a wʼakoa yɛe bere a wufii Yerusalem no Ɔhene yi fi wʼadwene mu.
20 and therfor to dai Y cam the firste of al the hows of Joseph, and Y cam doun in to the meetyng of my lord the kyng.
Mahu bɔne a mayɛ, enti na madi kan wɔ Yosef abusua nyinaa mu rebekyia wo yi.”
21 Forsothe Abisai, the sone of Saruye, answeride and seide, Whether Semei, that curside the crist of the Lord, schal not be slayn for these wordis?
Na Seruia babarima Abisai kae se, “Simei sɛ owu, efisɛ ɔdomee nea Awurade asra no no.”
22 And Dauid seide, What is to me and to you, ye sones of Saruye? Whi ben ye maad to me to dai in to Sathan? Therfor whether a man schal be slayn to dai in Israel? Whether Y knowe not me maad kyng to dai on Israel?
Na Dawid bisae se, “Mo Seruia mma, dɛn na me ne mo wɔ yɛ? Nnɛ nyɛ da a wokum obi. Ɛyɛ anigye da! Masan mabedi hene wɔ Israel so bio!”
23 And the kyng seide to Semey, Thou schalt not die; and the kyng swoor to hym.
Enti ɔhene no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Simei se, “Wɔrenkum wo.”
24 Also Myphibosech, sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, cam doun with vnwaischun feet, and with berd vnclippid, in to the comyng of the kyng. And Mysphibosech hadde not waische hise clothis, fro the dai in which the kyng yede out of Jerusalem til to the dai of his turnyng ayen in pees.
Mefiboset a ɔyɛ Saulo nena nso kohyiaa ɔhene no bi. Efi bere a ɔhene kɔe no, na onsiesiee ne nan ase, nyii ne hweneanonwi, nhoroo ne ntade da, kosii sɛ ɔhene san baa asomdwoe mu no.
25 And whanne at Jerusalem he hadde come to the kyng, the kyng seide to him, Myphibosech, whi camest thou not with me?
Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Mefiboset, adɛn nti na wo ne me ankɔ?”
26 And he answeride and seide, My lord the kyng, my seruaunt dispiside me; and Y thi seruaunt seide to hym, that he schulde sadle the asse to me, and Y schulde stie, and Y schulde go with the king; for Y thi seruaunt am crokid.
Obuae se, “Nana, me somfo Siba daadaa me. Meyɛ obubuafo nti, mekae se, ‘hyehyɛ mʼafurum ma me, na mentena ne so, sɛnea metumi ne ɔhene akɔ.’
27 More ouer and he accuside me, thi seruaunt, to thee, my lord the kyng; forsothe thou, my lord `the kyng, art as the aungel of God; do thou that, that is plesaunt to thee.
Siba abɛsɛe me akyerɛ me wura ɔhene sɛ mampɛ sɛ meba. Nanso minim sɛ wote sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔfo; ne saa nti, yɛ nea wugye di sɛ eye.
28 For the hows of my fadir was not no but gilti of deeth to my lord the kyng; sotheli thou hast set me thi seruaunt among the gestis of thi boord; what therfor haue Y of iust pleynt, ether what may Y more crye to the kyng?
Biribiara mfata me ne me nenabarima asefo sɛ owu a ebefi me wura, ɔhene, nanso, woahyɛ me anuonyam wɔ wɔn a wodidi wo pon so no mu. Enti tumi bɛn na mewɔ sɛ mibisa ɔhene nea mehwehwɛ?”
29 Sotheli the kyng seide to hym, What spekist thou more? that that Y haue spoke is stidefast; thou and Siba depart possessyouns.
Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasɛm aware? Mehyɛ mo sɛ, wo ne Siba nkyɛ nsase no mu.”
30 And Myphibosech answeride to the kyng, Yhe, take he alle thingis, aftir that my lord the kyng turnede ayen pesibli in to his hows.
Mefiboset ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Sɛ me wura ɔhene asan aba fie dwoodwoo yi, ma Siba mfa biribiara.”
31 Also Berzellai of Galaad, a ful eld man, cam doun fro Rogelym, and ledde the kyng ouer Jordan, redi also to sue hym ouer the flood.
Gileadni Barsilai nso fi Rogelim baa sɛ ɔrebɛboa ama ɔhene atwa Yordan.
32 Forsothe Berzellai of Galaad was ful eld, that is, of foure score yeer, and he yaf metis to the kyng, whanne the kyng dwellyde in castels; for Berzellai was a ful riche man.
Na Barsilai abɔ akwakoraa a wadi mfe aduɔwɔtwe, na ɔyɛ ɔdefo kɛse. Ɔno na ɔmaa ɔhene biribi dii bere a na ɔte Mahanaim no.
33 Therfor the kyng seide to Berzellai, Come thou with me, that thou reste sikirli with me in Jerusalem.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Barsilai se, “Wo ne me ntwa, na wo ne me nkɔtena Yerusalem, na mɛhwɛ wo.”
34 And Berzellai seide to the kyng, Hou manye ben the daiest of yeeres of my lijf, that Y stie with the kyng in to Jerusalem?
Nanso, Barsilai buaa ɔhene se, “Aka me nna ahe a ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo kɔtena Yerusalem, Nana?
35 Y am of foure score yeer to dai; whether my wittis ben quike to deme swete thing ethir bittir, ether mete and drynk may delite thi seruaunt, ether may Y here more the vois of syngeris ether of syngsters? Whi is thi seruaunt to charge to my lord the kyng?
Madi mfirihyia aduɔwɔtwe, na biribiara nyɛ me akɔnnɔ. Aduan ne nsa nyɛ me dɛ. Nnwontofo nne nso, merente na adesoa nko ara na mɛyɛ ama Nana.
36 Y thi seruaunt schal go forth a litil fro Jordan with thee, Y haue no nede to this yeldyng;
Anuonyam a mepɛ ara ne sɛ me ne Nana betwa asu no.
37 but Y biseche, that Y thi seruaunt turne ayen, and die in my citee, and be biried bisidis the sepulcre of my fadir and of my modir; forsothe Chamaam is thi seruaunt, my lord the kyng, go he with thee, and do thou to hym that that semeth good to thee.
Ma wo somfo nsan nʼakyi, sɛnea mewu wɔ me ara me kurom faako a wosiee mʼawofo. Na me babarima Kimham ni. Ma ɔne me wura ɔhene nkɔ na ade pa biara a wopɛ no, yɛ ma no.”
38 Therfor the kyng seide to hym, Chamaam passe with me; and Y schal do to hym what euer thing plesith thee, and thou schalt gete al thing, which thou axist of me.
Ɔhene no gye too mu kae se, “Eye, Kimham ne me bɛkɔ, na nea anka mɛyɛ ama wo no, mɛyɛ ama no.”
39 And whanne al the puple and the kyng hadden passid Jordan, the kyng abood; and `the kyng kisside Berzellai, and blesside hym; and he turnede ayen in to his place.
Enti nnipa no nyinaa ne ɔhene twaa Yordan, ɔhene no yɛɛ Barsilai atuu, hyiraa no. Na Barsilai san kɔɔ ne kurom.
40 Therfor the kyng passide in to Galgala, and Chamaam with hym. Sotheli al the puple of Juda hadde ledde the kyng ouer, and the half part oneli of the puple of Israel was present.
Ɔhene faa Kimham kaa ne ho kɔɔ Gilgal. Yuda asraafo nyinaa ne Israel asraafo no mu fa de ɔhene twaa asu no.
41 Therfor alle the men of Israel camen togidere to the king, and seiden to hym, Whi han oure britheren, the men of Juda, stole thee, and han led the kyng and his hows ouer Jordan, and alle the men of Dauid with hym?
Ankyɛ, Israel mmarima nyinaa baa ɔhene hɔ bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na yɛn nuanom Yuda mmarima wiaa ɔhene kɔe, na wɔde Ɔhene ne ne fifo ne Dawid mmarima nyinaa a wɔka ne ho no akotwa Yordan aba?”
42 And ech man of Juda answeride to the men of Israel, For the kyng is neer to me; whi art thou wrooth on this thing? Whether we han ete ony thing of the kyng, ether yiftis ben youun to vs?
Yuda mmarima nyinaa buaa Israel mmarima no se, “Yɛyɛɛ saa, efisɛ, ɔhene no yɛ yɛn busuani pɛɛ. Adɛn nti na mo bo afuw wɔ saa asɛm yi ho? Yɛannye no hwee na ɔno nso amma yɛn aduan anaa akyɛde biara nso.”
43 And a man of Israel answeride to the men of Juda, and seide, Y am grettere bi ten partis at the kyng, and Dauith perteyneth more to me than to thee; whi hast thou do wrong to me, and `it was not teld to `me the formere, that Y schulde brynge ayen my kyng? Forsothe the men of Juda answeryden hardere to the men of Israel.
Na Israel mmarima buaa Yuda mmarima no se, “Yɛwɔ mmusuakuw du wɔ Israel na ɛno nti yɛwɔ ɔhene no mu kyɛfa du. Na adɛn nti na mubu yɛn abomfiaa? Ɛnyɛ yɛn na yedii kan kae se, wɔmfa yɛn hene nsan mmra?” Na Yuda mmarima no ano yɛɛ den sen Israel mmarima no.
