Dawid rebewu no, ɔde adwuma hyɛɛ Salomo nsa sɛ:

2 “Rĩu ndĩ hakuhĩ gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩgeragwo nĩ andũ othe a thĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gĩa na hinya, wonanie atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ mũrũme ki,

“Merekɔ faako a ɛsɛ sɛ da bi ɔteasefo biara kɔ, enti yɛ den na kyerɛ wo mmaninyɛ,

na yɛ nea Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ sɛ woyɛ. Nantew nʼakwan so, na di ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara no mu no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛkɔ so wɔ biribiara a wobɛyɛ mu ne baabiara a wobɛkɔ nso.

4 nĩgeetha Jehova atũũrie kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa aanjĩĩrĩire, akiuga ũũ: ‘Njiaro ciaku ingĩkaamenyerera mũtũũrĩre wacio, na ithiiage irĩ na wĩhokeku mbere yakwa na ngoro ciao ciothe, na meciiria macio mothe, gwaku gũtikaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli.’

Sɛ woyɛ eyi a na Awurade bedi ne bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ me no so se, ‘Sɛ wʼasefo hwɛ wɔn asetena, na wofi wɔn koma ne wɔn kra nyinaa mu nantew nokware mu wɔ mʼanim a, wɔn mu baako bɛtena Israel ahengua no so.’

5 “Rĩu wee mwene nĩũĩ ũrĩa Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia aanjĩkire, na ũrĩa eekire anene eerĩ a mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli, nĩo Abineri mũrũ wa Neri, na Amasa mũrũ wa Jetheri. Nĩamooragire, agĩita thakame yao hĩndĩ ya thayũ, o taarĩ hĩndĩ ya mbaara, nayo thakame ĩyo ĩkĩgĩa mũcibi-inĩ wake wa njohero, na iraatũ-inĩ cia magũrũ make.

“Wunim se Seruia babarima Yoab kum mʼakofo asahene baanu no a ɛyɛ Ner babarima Abner ne Yeter babarima Amasa no. Okunkum wɔn, hwiee wɔn mogya gui, asomdwoe bere mu a ɛnyɛ ɔko bere mu, na ɔde wɔn mogya kekaa nʼabɔso a ɛbɔ nʼasen mu ne ne mpaboa a ɛhyɛ ne nan so.

6 Ĩka ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire kũringana na ũũgĩ waku, no ndũkanareke mũtwe ũcio wake ũrĩ mbuĩ ũkinye mbĩrĩra-inĩ na thayũ. (Sheol h7585)

Wo ne no nni, na mma no mfa ne ti dwen nkɔ ɔda mu asomdwoe mu. (Sheol h7585)

7 “No ariũ a Barizilai wa Gileadi ũmatugage wega, na ũreke matuĩke amwe a arĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga nao metha-inĩ yaku. Nĩo mandũgamĩrĩire rĩrĩa ndooragĩra mũrũ wa thoguo Abisalomu.

“Na yɛ Barsilai a ofi Gilead no mmabarima adɔe, na ma wɔnka wɔn a wodidi wɔ wo didipon so no ho. Bere a miguan fii wo nuabarima Absalom ho no, wɔyɛɛ me adɔe.

8 “Na ũririkane Shimei mũrũ wa Gera, ũrĩa Mũbenjamini kuuma Bahurimu, arĩ gũkũ nawe, na nĩwe wanumire na irumi ndũrũ mũthenya ũrĩa ndaathiiaga Mahanaimu. Rĩrĩa ookire kũndũnga hau Jorodani, nĩndehĩtire kũrĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndigakũũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora.’

“Kae Gera Benyaminni a ofi Bahurim no babarima Simei. Ɔdomee me denneennen, da a mereguan akɔ Mahanaim no. Na obehyiaa me wɔ Yordan no, mede Awurade din kaa ntam sɛ, Merenkum no.

9 No rĩrĩ, tiga kuona ta atarĩ na ihĩtia. Wee ũrĩ mũndũ mũũgĩ; nĩũkamenya ũrĩa ũkaamwĩka. Ndũkanareke mũtwe ũcio wake ũrĩ mbuĩ ũgaathikwo ũtarĩ na thakame.” (Sheol h7585)

Nanso ntam no mma onni bem. Woyɛ onyansafo na wubehu ɔkwan a wobɛfa so aka ne mogya agu.” (Sheol h7585)

10 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa Itũũra inene rĩa Daudi.

Na Dawid wui, na wosiee no wɔ Dawid kurom.

11 Aathamakĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna: mĩaka mũgwanja aathamakire arĩ Hebironi, nayo mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu.

Odii hene wɔ Israel mfe aduanan a ne nkyerɛmu ne sɛ, odii Hebron so mfe ason na Yerusalem nso, odii ade mfe aduasa abiɛsa.

12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa ithe Daudi, naguo wathani wake ũkĩĩhaanda, ũkĩrũma biũ.

Enti Salomo tenaa nʼagya Dawid ahengua so, na nʼadedi ase timii yiye.

13 Na rĩrĩ, Adonija mũrũ wa Hagithu, agĩthiĩ harĩ Bathisheba nyina wa Solomoni. Bathisheba akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte na thayũ?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ndooka na thayũ.”

Na Hagit babarima Adoniya kɔɔ Salomo ne na Batseba nkyɛn. Batseba bisaa no se, “Wobaa no asomdwoe so ana?” Obuaa no se, “Ɛyɛ asomdwoe so.”

14 Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ũndũ ngũkwĩra.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra.”

Na ɔka kaa ho se, “Mepɛ sɛ woyɛ me adɔe bi.” Na Batseba bisae se, “Adɔe bɛn.”

15 Agĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa wee ũũĩ-rĩ, ũthamaki ũyũ warĩ wakwa. Andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩ niĩ meetagĩrĩra nduĩke mũthamaki wao. No maũndũ makĩgarũrũka, naguo ũthamaki nĩũthiĩte kũrĩ mũrũ wa Baba; tondũ ũheanĩtwo kũrĩ we nĩ Jehova.

Adoniya kae se, “Sɛnea wunim no, na ahemman no yɛ me dea. Na Israel nyinaa hwɛ me kwan sɛ wɔn hene. Nanso nneɛma sesae, na ahemman no kɔɔ me nuabarima nkyɛn, efisɛ Awurade pɛ no saa.

16 Na rĩrĩ, ndĩ na ihooya ngwenda gũkũhooya, na ndũkarege.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “No ũrĩhooye.”

Mprempren, ade baako na mepɛ sɛ mesrɛ wo. Mfa nkame me.” Ɔkae se, “Wutumi ka.”

17 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra kũũria Mũthamaki Solomoni, nĩ ũndũ wee ndangĩkũregera, aahe Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”

Na ɔtoaa so se, “Kɔsrɛ ɔhene Salomo ma me, na ɔremfa dekode no nkame wo. Ka na ɔmfa Abisag Sunamni no mma me sɛ me yere.”

18 Bathisheba agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega, nĩ ngũkwarĩrĩria harĩ mũthamaki.”

Na Batseba buae se, “Eye mɛka ho asɛm akyerɛ ɔhene ama wo.”

19 Rĩrĩa Bathisheba aathiire kũrĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni akamũhe ũhoro wa Adonija-rĩ, mũthamaki agĩũkĩra na igũrũ akĩmũtũnga, akĩmũinamĩrĩra, na agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene. Akĩrehithĩria nyina gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nake nyina akĩmũikara guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo.

Enti Batseba kɔɔ ɔhene Salomo nkyɛn sɛ ɔrekɔkasa ama Adoniya. Ɔhene no sɔree sɛ ɔrebehyia no, bɔɔ ne mu ase ansa na ɔretena nʼahengua so. Na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa agua mmrɛ ɔhene na, na ɔtenaa ɔhene nifa so.

20 Nake nyina akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na kaũndũ kanini ngwenda gũkũhooya, na ndũkae kũrega.” Mũthamaki akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ, ũria ndikũrega.”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene se, “Mewɔ ade ketewaa bi srɛ wo, na mfa nkame me.” Ɔhene no buaa no se, “Ka, me na. Meyɛ ama wo.”

21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nyina akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami ahikio nĩ mũrũ wa thoguo Adonija.”

Enti ɔkae se, “Ma wɔmfa Sunamni Abisag mma wo nuabarima Adoniya aware.”

22 Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩra nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũrie Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami ahikio nĩ Adonija? Ndũkĩmũũrĩrie ũthamaki o naguo, o na ti we ũkĩrĩ mũkũrũ kũrĩ niĩ, ĩĩ-ni, ũgĩtuĩke wake, na wa Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na wa Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia!”

Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ne na se, “Adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ Adoniya ware Sunamni Abisag? Ɛno de, sɛ wubebisa ahemman nso ama no. Wunim sɛ ɔyɛ me nua panyin na ɔsɔfo Abiatar ne Seruia babarima Yoab nso boa no!”

23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩhĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, akiuga ũũ: “Ngai arooherithia o na anjĩhĩre mũno, aakorwo Adonija ndekũrĩha na muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio orĩtie!

Na ɔhene Salomo de Awurade din kaa ntam se, “Sɛ Adoniya amfa ne nkwa antwa saa abisade yi so a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no dennen so pa ara.

24 Na rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, o we ũtũmĩte ngaacĩre ũthamaki-inĩ wa baba, Daudi, na agetĩkĩra nduĩke wa rũciaro rwa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, Adonija no ekũũragwo ũmũthĩ!”

Na mprempren de, mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, ɔno a watim mʼase wɔ mʼagya Dawid ahengua so, na wabɔ me fie ahenni mu nnidiso atenase ama me, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ me bɔ no, Adoniya de, twa ara na etwa sɛ owu nnɛ yi ara.”

25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, nake agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Adonija, akĩmũũraga.

Enti, Salomo hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onkum no, na okum Adoniya.

26 Mũthamaki akĩĩra Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Cooka mũgũnda-inĩ gwaku kũu Anathothu. Wee wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkua, no ndigũkũũraga rĩu, tondũ nĩwakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa Mwathani Jehova hĩndĩ ya baba Daudi, na nĩwagwatanĩire na baba moritũ-inĩ make mothe.”

Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Abiatar se, “San kɔ wo kurom Anatot. Wofata sɛ wuwu, nanso merenkum wo mprempren, efisɛ, wosoaa Awurade Tumfo Adaka no maa mʼagya, na wo ne no nyinaa na muhuu amane wɔ nʼabɛbrɛsɛ nyinaa mu.”

27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni akĩeheria Abiatharu atige gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa Jehova, nakĩo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aarĩirie kũu Shilo, gĩkoniĩ nyũmba ya Eli, gĩkĩhinga.

Enti Salomo nam so dii mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ wɔ Silo fa Eli asefo ho no so.

28 Rĩrĩa ũhoro ũcio wakinyĩire Joabu, ũrĩa waciirĩire gwĩka ũũru marĩ na Adonija, o na gũtuĩka ndaanyiitanĩire na Abisalomu, akĩũrĩra hema-inĩ ya Jehova na akĩĩnyiitĩrĩra hĩa cia kĩgongona.

Ɛwɔ mu, mfiase no na onni Absalom akyi, nanso Yoab de ne ho kɔdɔm Adoniya atuatew no. Bere a Yoab tee Adoniya wu no, otuu mmirika kɔɔ Awurade ntamadan kronkron no mu, na okosusoo mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no mu.

29 Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩrwo atĩ Joabu orĩire hema-inĩ ya Jehova na aarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩgongona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, ũmũũrage!”

Bere a ɔhene Salomo tee asɛm yi, ɔsomaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onkokum no.

30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Benaia akĩingĩra hema ĩyo ya Jehova akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki oiga atĩrĩ, ‘Uma na nja!’” No Joabu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, ngũkuĩra haha.” Benaia agĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Joabu anjĩĩra ũna na ũna.”

Na Benaia kɔɔ Awurade ntamadan kronkron no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Ɔhene se fi adi.” Nanso Yoab buae se, “Dabi, mewu wɔ ha.” Enti Benaia san kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa asɛm a Yoab aka no kyerɛɛ no.

31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩatha Benaia, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩka o ũguo oiga. Mũũrage na ũmũthike, nĩgeetha niĩ na nyũmba ya baba tũthirwo nĩ ihĩtia rĩa thakame ĩrĩa yaitirwo tũhũ nĩ Joabu.

Ɔhene no tee asɛm a Yoab kae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Benaia se, “Yɛ nea ɔkae no. Kum no wɔ afɔremuka no ho, na sie no. Eyi beyi adwenhare mogyahwiegu ho afɔdi afi me ne mʼagya fifo so.

32 Jehova nĩegũtũma acookererwo nĩ thakame ĩrĩa aaitire, tondũ nĩatharĩkĩire andũ eerĩ, na akĩmooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora, baba Daudi atooĩ akĩmooraga marĩ eerĩ, Abineri mũrũ wa Neri, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli, na Amasa mũrũ wa Jetheri, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Juda, nao maarĩ andũ ega na arũngĩrĩru kũmũkĩra.

Na Awurade betua no kum a okum mmarima atreneefo ankasa baanu a na woye sen no no so ka. Na mʼagya nnim Ner babarima Abner a na ɔyɛ Israel asraafo so sahene ne Yeter babarima Amasa a na ɔno nso yɛ Yuda asraafo so sahene no wu ho hwee.

33 Ihĩtia rĩu rĩa gũita thakame yao rĩrocookerera Joabu na njiaro ciake nginya tene. No kũrĩ Daudi na njiaro ciake, na nyũmba yake na ũthamaki wake, thayũ wa Jehova ũrogĩa kũrĩ o nginya tene.”

Yoab ne nʼasefo de, saa awudi ahorow yi ho afɔdi ntena wɔn so, na Awurade mma Dawid ne nʼasefo ne nʼahengua asomdwoe afebɔɔ!”

34 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Joabu akĩmũũraga, nake agĩthikwo mũgũnda-inĩ wake kũu werũ-inĩ.

Enti Yehoiada babarima Benaia san kɔɔ ntamadan kronkron no mu, kokum Yoab, na wosiee Yoab wɔ ne kurom wuram baabi.

35 Mũthamaki akĩnenehia Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada akĩmũtua mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita handũ ha Joabu, na agĩcookia Zadoku atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ithenya rĩa Abiatharu.

Na ɔhene no yii Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onsi Yoab anan sɛ ɔsahene. Na oyii ɔsɔfo Sadok de no sii Abiatar anan mu.

36 Ningĩ mũthamaki agĩtũmana Shimei eetwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩakĩre nyũmba Jerusalemu na ũtũũre kuo, no ndũkanathiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ.

Ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Simei ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Si ofi wɔ Yerusalem ha na tena mu. Na mfi kurow no mu nkɔ baabiara.

37 Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoima kuo ũringe Mũkuru wa Kidironi, ũmenye wega no ũgaakua; nayo thakame yaku nĩĩgagũcookerera wee mwene.”

Na da a wubetwa Kidron bon no, wubewu; na wo mogya begu wʼankasa wo ti so.”

38 Shimei agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ũguo woiga nĩ wega. Ndungata yaku nĩĩgwĩka o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oiga.” Nake Shimei agĩikara Jerusalemu ihinda iraaya.

Na Simei buae se, “Wʼatemmu no yɛ kronkron. Biribiara a me wura ɔhene bɛhyɛ sɛ menyɛ no, mɛyɛ.” Enti Simei tenaa Yerusalem kyɛe yiye.

39 No mĩaka ĩtatũ yathira-rĩ, ngombo igĩrĩ cia Shimei ikĩũra igĩthiĩ kwa Akishi, mũrũ wa Maaka, mũthamaki wa Gathu, nake Shimei akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Ngombo ciaku irĩ Gathu.”

Na mfe abiɛsa akyi no, Simei asomfo baanu guan kɔɔ Gathene Akis, Maaka babarima nkyɛn. Bere a Simei huu faako a wɔwɔ no,

40 Kũigua ũguo-rĩ, Shimei agĩtandĩka ndigiri yake, agĩthiĩ kwa Akishi kũu Gathu gwetha ngombo ciake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shimei agĩthiĩ na agĩcookia ngombo ciake kuuma Gathu.

ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafurum, kɔɔ Gat, kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn. Ohuu wɔn no, ɔde wɔn san baa Yerusalem.

41 Rĩrĩa Solomoni eerirwo atĩ Shimei nĩoimĩte Jerusalemu agathiĩ Gathu na agacooka-rĩ,

Salomo tee sɛ Simei afi Yerusalem akɔ Gat asan aba no,

42 mũthamaki agĩtũmanĩra Shimei, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiakwĩhĩtithirie na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova na ngĩgũkaania, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoimagara ũthiĩ handũ hangĩ, ũmenye kũna no ũgaakua’? Nawe hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo woiga nĩ wega. Niĩ nĩngwathĩka.’

ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Simei bae, na obisaa no se, “Mamma woanka ntam Awurade din mu sɛ, worenkɔ baabiara, na sɛ anyɛ saa a, wubewu? Na wubuae se, ‘Atemmu no yɛ kronkron; na medi asɛm a woaka no so.’

43 Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wage kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa waku harĩ Jehova, na wathĩkĩre watho ũrĩa ndaakũheire?”

Adɛn nti na woanni wo ntam no so amma Awurade, na woanyɛ mʼahyɛde?”

44 Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Shimei atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ ngoro-inĩ yaku ũũru ũrĩa wothe wekire baba Daudi. Rĩu Jehova nĩegũtũma ũcookererwo nĩ ũũru waku.

Na ɔhene no ka kaa ho se, “Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ wokae amumɔyɛ a woyɛɛ mʼagya, ɔhene Dawid. Awurade bɛtwe wʼaso wɔ ho.

45 No Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩekũrathimwo, nakĩo gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wa Daudi gĩtũũre gĩkĩgitĩre mbere ya Jehova nginya tene.”

Na me de, menya Awurade nhyira, na daa Dawid aseni atena ahengua no so.”

46 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, nake agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Shimei akĩmũũraga. Ũthamaki naguo ũkĩĩhaanda ũrũmĩte biũ moko-inĩ ma Solomoni.

Na ɔhene no hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia ma ɔfaa Simei de no fii adi kokum no. Enti ahemman no tim wɔ Salomo nsam.
