< Samuel 2 17 >

1 Azɔ la, Ahitofel gblɔ na Absalom be, “Na ame akpe wuievem ne míati David yome le zã sia me.
Therfor Achitofel seide to Absolon, Y schal chese twelue thousynde of men `to me, and Y schal rise, and pursue Dauid in this nyyt.
2 Madze edzi esi ɖeɖi te eŋu eye wògbɔdzɔ. Made vɔvɔ̃ lãme nɛ ekema eŋumewo katã asi, agblẽe ɖi. Mawu fia la ɖeɖe ko,
And Y schal falle on hym, for he is wery, and with vnboundun hondis Y schal smyte hym. And whanne al the puple fleeth which is with hym, Y schal smyte the kyng `desolat, ether left aloone.
3 eye makplɔ ame bubuawo katã vɛ na wò. Ame si dim nèle ƒe ku la anye ame bubuawo ƒe tɔtrɔ gbɔ; nuvevi mawɔ ame bubuawo dometɔ aɖeke o.”
And Y schal lede ayen al the puple, as o man is wont to turne ayen; for thou sekist o man, and al the puple schal be in pees.
4 Absalom kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo katã lɔ̃ ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi.
And the word of him plesyde Absolon, and alle the grete men in birthe of Israel.
5 Ke Absalom gblɔ be, “Mina míabia Husai, Arkitɔ la, nu si wòbu tso ɖoɖo sia ŋu.”
Forsothe Absolon seide, Clepe ye also Chusy of Arath, and here we what also he seith.
6 Esi Husai va ɖo la, Absalom gblɔ nya si Ahitofel gblɔ la nɛ eye wòbia Husai be, “Aleke nèbu tso ɖoɖo sia ŋu? Ɖe míazɔ ɖe Ahitofel ƒe aɖaŋu nua? Ne mèda asi ɖe edzi o la, ekema gblɔ nu si nèbu be míawɔ la na mí.”
And whanne Chusi hadde come to Absolon, Absolon seide to hym. Achitofel spak siche a word; owen we do, ethir nay? what counsel yyuest thou?
7 Husai ɖo eŋu na Absalom be, “Mebu be azɔ ya la, Ahitofel da ƒu.
And Chusi seide to Absolon, This is not good counsel, which Achitofel yaf in this tyme.
8 Ènya fofowò kple eƒe amewo nyuie, ènya be wonye aʋawɔla sesẽwo. Ɖewohĩ David ƒe mo nyra ɖa abe sisiblisinɔ si ƒe viwo wofi le egbɔ la ene. Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ, kpɔnuteƒee fofowò nye, ne zã do la, mamlɔ aʋawɔlawo dome o.
And eft Chusi seide, Thou knowist, that thi fadir, and the men that ben with him, ben moost stronge, and in bitter soule, as if a femal bere is fers in the forest, whanne the whelpis ben rauyschid; but also thi fader is a man werriour, and he schal not dwelle with the puple.
9 Ɖewohĩ ebe ɖe do alo agado aɖe me ɖa xoxo! Ne edo va dze mia dzi eye wòwu miaƒe ame aɖewo la, vɔvɔ̃ aɖo wò aʋawɔlawo eye ame sia ame ade asi ɣlidodo me be wosi aʋakɔ si kplɔ Absalom ɖo.
In hap now he is hid in the dichis, ethir in o place, in which he wole; and whanne ony man fallith in the bigynnyng, who euer schal here, he schal here, and schal seie, Wounde is maad in the puple that suede Absolon.
10 Ekema wò kalẽtɔwo kekeake gɔ̃ hã, nenye dzata ƒe dzie le dɔ me na wo gɔ̃ hã la, vɔvɔ̃ ana woatsi teƒe ɖeka elabena Israel blibo la nya be fofowò bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me eye eƒe asrafowo hã nye kalẽtɔwo.
And ech strongeste man, whos herte is as `the herte of a lioun, schal be discoumfortid for drede; for al the puple of Israel knowith, that thi fadir is strong, and that alle men ben stronge, that ben with him.
11 “Nu si mebue nye be nàƒo Israel dukɔ blibo la ƒe aʋakɔ la nu ƒu tso keke Dan va se ɖe Beerseba ale be aʋakɔ gã aɖe nanɔ asiwò. Mebu hã be wò ŋutɔ nàkplɔ aʋakɔ la.
But this semeth to me to be riytful counsel; al Israel be gaderid to thee, fro Dan `til to Bersabee, vnnoumbrable as the soond of the see; and thou schalt be in the myddis of hem.
12 Ekema ne mieke ɖe David ŋu la, miate ŋu atsrɔ̃ eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale be ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã masusɔ anɔ agbe o.
And we schulen falle on hym, in what euer place he is foundun, and we schulen hile hym, as dew is wont to falle on the erthe; and we schulen not leeue of the men that ben with hym, `sotheli not oon.
13 Ne David si yi du aɖe me la, Israel ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la anɔ wò kpɔkplɔ te, miatsi kawo ɖe dua ƒe gliwo ŋu eye miahe gliawo ayi aɖakɔ ɖe balime si te ɖe eŋu la me va se ɖe esime kpe aɖeke maganɔ kpe dzi o.”
`That if he entrith in to ony citee, al Israel schal cumpasse that citee with roopis, and we schulen drawe it in to the stronde, that no thing be foundun, sotheli not a litil stoon therof.
14 Tete Absalom kple Israelviwo katã gblɔ be, “Husai, Arkitɔ la ƒe aɖaŋu nyo wu Ahitofel tɔ.” Esia va eme elabena Yehowa ɖo be, yeagblẽ Ahitofel ƒe aɖaŋu, si nye nyuitɔ boŋ hafi la me ale be yeahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va Absalom dzi.
And Absolon seide, and alle the men of Israel, The counsel of Chusi of Arath is betere than the counsel of Achitofel; sotheli the profitable counsel of Achitofel was destried bi Goddis wille, that the Lord schulde brynge in yuel on Absolon.
15 Husai gblɔ na nunɔla Zadok kple Abiata bena; Ale kple ale Ahitofel ɖo aɖaŋu na Absalom kple Israel ametsitsiwo kple eya ŋutɔ tɔ na nunɔlawo.
And Chusi seide to Sadoch and to Abiathar, preestis, Achitofel yaf counsel to Absolon, and to the eldere men of Israel in this and this maner, and Y yaf sich and sich counsel.
16 Egblɔ na wo be, “Afɔ netsɔ! Midi David enumake eye miagblɔ nɛ be, meganɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe tɔtsoƒe le zã sia me o ke boŋ ele be wòatso tɔsisi la enumake ayi gbedzi le tɔsisi la godo. Ne mewɔ alea o la, eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ la katã atsrɔ̃.”
Now therfor sende ye soone, and telle ye to Dauid, and seie ye, Dwelle thou not this nyyt in the feeldi places of deseert, but passe thou with out delay; lest perauenture the kyng be destried, and al the puple which is with hym.
17 Yonatan kple Ahimaaz nɔ En Rogel ale be amewo makpɔ wo ne woge ɖe dua me alo wodo go le dua me o. Wowɔ ɖoɖo kple nyɔnudɔla aɖe be wòayi aɖagblɔ nya si woagblɔ na David la na wo.
Forsothe Jonathas and Achymaas stoden bisidis the welle of Rogel; an handmaide yede, and telde to hem, and thei yeden forth to telle the message to kyng Dauid; for thei myyten not be seyn, nether entre in to the citee.
18 Ke esi wodzo le En Rogel yina David gbɔ la, ŋutsu aɖe kpɔ wo eye wòyi ɖagblɔe na Absalom. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, wosi yi Bahurim eye ŋutsu aɖe ɣla wo ɖe eƒe vudo me le eƒe aƒe godo.
Forsothe a child siy hem, and he schewide to Absolon; sotheli thei entriden with swift goyng in to the hows of `sum man in Bahurym, that hadde a pit in his place, and thei yeden doun in to that pit.
19 Ŋutsua srɔ̃ ɖo avɔ aɖe ɖe vudo la nu eye wosia bli ɖe avɔ la dzi ale be ame aɖeke mabu be woanɔ afi ma o.
Forsothe a womman took, and spred abrood an hilyng of the mouth of the pit as driynge `barli with the pile takun a wey, and so the thing was hid.
20 Esi Absalom ƒe amewo va nyɔnu la gbɔ la, wobia be, “Afi ka Ahimaaz kple Yonatan wole?” Nyɔnu la gblɔ na wo be, “Wotso tɔʋu la xoxo.” Ameawo di wo gake womekpɔ wo o, ale wotrɔ yi Yerusalem.
And whanne the seruauntis of Absolon hadde come in to the hows, thei seiden to the womman, Where is Achymaas and Jonathas? And the womman answeride to hem, Thei passiden hastily, whanne `watir was tastid a litil. And whanne thei that souyten hem hadden not founde, thei turneden ayen in to Jerusalem.
21 Ame eveawo do le vudo la me eye woɖe abla yi Fia David gbɔ. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Afɔ netsɔ! Tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le zã sia me.” Wogblɔ ale si Ahitofel ɖo aɖaŋu na Absalom be wòalée, awui la hã nɛ.
And whanne thei `that souyten hadden go, thei stieden fro the pit; and thei yeden, and telden to kyng Dauid, and seiden, Rise ye, passe ye soone the flood, for Achitofel yaf sich counsel ayens you.
22 Ale David kple eŋumewo katã tso tɔsisi la le zã ma me eye woɖo tɔsisi la godo hafi ŋu ke.
Therfor Dauid roos, and al the puple that was with hym, and thei passiden Jordan, til it was cleer dai, bifor that the word was pupplischid; and sotheli not oon was left, that `passide not the flood.
23 Le ɣeyiɣi ma me la, esi Absalom do ŋukpe Ahitofel le dukɔ la ŋkume eye mexɔ eƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo o ta la, Ahitofel de eƒe tedzi dzi eye wòyi wo de. Esi wòdzra eƒe aƒe ɖo vɔ la, ede ka ve na eɖokui. Ale Ahitofel ku eye woɖii ɖe fofoa xa.
Forsothe Achitofel siy, that his counsel was not doon, and he sadlide his asse, and roos, and yede in to his hows, and in to his citee; and whanne his hows was disposid, he perischide bi hangyng, and he was biried in the sepulcre of his fadir.
24 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, David va ɖo Mahanaim. Absalom ƒo Israel dukɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòkplɔ ameawo wonɔ tɔsisi la tsom.
Sotheli Dauid cam in to the castels, and Absolon passide Jordan, he and alle the men of Israel with hym.
25 Absalom na Amasa zu aʋafia ɖe Yoab teƒe. Amasa fofoe nye Itra, Ismaeltɔ eye dadae nye Abigail, Nahas ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye Yoaz dada, Zeruya nɔvinyɔnu.
Forsothe Absolon ordeynede Amasan for Joab on the oost; forsothe Amasan was the sone of a man that was clepid Jethra of Jeyrael, which entride to Abigail, douyter of Naas, the sistir of Saruye, that was the modir of Joab.
26 Absalom kple Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la ƒo ƒu ɖe Gileadnyigba dzi.
And Israel settide tentis with Absolon in the lond of Galaad.
27 Esi David va ɖo Mahanaim la, Sobi, Nahas ƒe vi si tso Amon ƒe viwo ƒe Raba kple Makir, Amiel ƒe vi si tso Lo Debar kple Barzilai, Gileadtɔ la si tso Rogelun la
And whanne Dauid hadde come in to castels, Sobi, the sone of Naas of Rabath, of the sones of Amon, and Machir, the sone of Amyel, of Lodobar, and Berzellai, of Galaad,
