1 Na rĩrĩ, Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩamenyete atĩ ngoro ya mũthamaki nĩyeriragĩria kuona Abisalomu.
Na Yoab hunuu sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhunu Absalom.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Joabu agĩtũma mũndũ athiĩ Tekoa akagĩĩre mũndũ-wa-nja warĩ mũũgĩ, areehwo kuuma kũu. Akĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Wĩtue atĩ nĩũracakaya. Wĩhumbe nguo cia macakaya, na ndũkehake maguta o na marĩkũ. Wĩtue ta mũndũ-wa-nja ũikarĩte matukũ maingĩ akĩrĩrĩra mũndũ mũkuũ.
Enti, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ Tekoa kɔfaa ɔbaa nyansafoɔ bi a wagye edin yie brɛɛ no. Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hyɛ da yɛ wo ho sɛ wowɔ ayie mu, na fira ayitoma. Nnware anaa mfa aduhwam mpete wo ho nso. Yɛ wo ho sɛ ɔbaa a wadi awerɛhoɔ nna bebree.
3 Ũcooke ũthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki ũmwarĩrie ciugo ici.” Nake Joabu akĩmwĩra ũrĩa ekuuga.
Na kɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔka asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi kyerɛ no.” Na Yoab kaa asɛm a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbaa no kɔka no kyerɛɛ no.
4 Rĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa kuuma Tekoa aathiire kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩĩgũithia, agĩturumithia ũthiĩ thĩ nĩguo amũhe gĩtĩĩo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ndeithia!”
Na Tekoani baa no duruu ɔhene no anim no, ɔhwee fam de nʼanim butuu fam teaam sɛ, “Ao Nana! Boa me!”
5 Nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ niĩ ndĩ mũndũ-wa-nja wa ndigwa; mũthuuri wakwa nĩakuĩte.
Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ asɛm bɛn?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Meyɛ okunafoɔ.
6 Niĩ ndungata yaku ndĩrarĩ na ariũ eerĩ. Nao maroogitana me mũgũnda, na harakĩaga mũndũ hau wa kũmateithũrana. Ũmwe aragũtha ũrĩa ũngĩ na aramũũraga.
Me mma baanu kɔdii ako wɔ akono. Na ɛsiane sɛ na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛpata ɔko no enti, wɔkumm wɔn mu baako.
7 Na rĩrĩ, mũhĩrĩga wothe nĩũũkĩrĩire ndungata yaku; ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũnengere mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩte mũrũ wa nyina, nĩgeetha tũmũũrage nĩ ũndũ wa muoyo wa mũrũ wa nyina ũrĩa ooragĩte; tũkĩniine mũgai o nake.’ Nao mangĩĩka ũguo no mahorie ikara rĩrĩa rĩraakana, na no rĩo riiki ndigairie, maniine rĩĩtwa rĩa mũthuuri wakwa, o na maniine njiaro ciake gũkũ thĩ.”
Nanso, abusua no nkaeɛ no bisaa sɛ, ‘Ma yɛn nsa nka wo ba no. Yɛbɛkum no, ɛfiri sɛ, woakum ne nuabarima. Ɔmfata sɛ ɔbɛdi efie agyapadeɛ so.’ Na sɛ meyɛ saa nso a, na menni obiara a waka, na me kunu din ne me fie bɛyera wɔ asase so ha.”
8 Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Inũka, na nĩngũruta watho nĩ ũndũ waku.”
Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyae asɛm no ma me. Kɔ efie na mɛhwɛ sɛ obiara remfa ne nsa nka no.”
9 No mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa Tekoa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, reke ũũru ũcio ũnjookerere hamwe na nyũmba ya baba, na ũreke wee mũthamaki na gĩtĩ gĩaku gĩa ũthamaki wage gũcookererwo nĩ ũũru o na ũrĩkũ.”
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, me wura, meda wo ase. Na sɛ mmoa a woaboa me yi enti, sɛ obi kasa tia wo a, mɛfa ho soboɔ no.”
10 Nake mũthamaki agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o na ũ angĩkwĩra ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, mũrehe kũrĩ niĩ, nake ndagacooka gũgũthĩĩnia rĩngĩ.”
Ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Mma yei nha wo. Sɛ nnipa bi mpene a, fa wɔn brɛ me wɔ ha. Na mɛtumi ama wo awerɛhyɛmu sɛ, obiara nwiinwii wɔ ho bio.”
11 Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke mũthamaki agwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, nĩguo agirĩrĩrie mũrĩhĩria wa thakame ndakae kũũragana rĩngĩ, nĩgeetha mũriũ wakwa ndakae kũũragwo.” Nake mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, gũtirĩ rũcuĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwa mũtwe wa mũrũguo rũkũgũa thĩ.”
Afei, ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Fa Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, no din ka ntam kyerɛ me sɛ, woremma obiara ntɔ me babarima no so were. Merenhwehwɛ mogyahwieguo bio.” Ɔhene no nso kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, wo ba no tirinwi a ɛwɔ ne tiri so mu baako mpo ho renka.”
12 Ningĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ndungata yaku ĩkwĩre kiugo wee mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa.” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kĩarie.”
Afei, ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Ma wo ɔsomfoɔ nka biribi nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Kɔ so kasa.”
13 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wee ũthondeke ũndũ ta ũyũ wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ a Ngai? Rĩrĩa mũthamaki oiga ũguo-rĩ, githĩ tiwe wĩtuĩrĩire ciira, nĩgũkorwo mũthamaki ndacooketie mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũingate mũciĩ?
Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wonyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wobɛyɛ ama me no. Woabu wo ho fɔ sɛ woasi saa gyinaeɛ yi. Wompɛ sɛ woma wʼankasa wo ba a wɔatwa no asuo no ba efie.

15 “Na rĩrĩ, njũkĩte gũkwĩra ũhoro ũyũ wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa tondũ andũ nĩmatũmĩte niĩ ndĩtigĩre. Ndungata yaku ĩciirĩtie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngwarĩria mũthamaki; no gũkorwo nĩegwĩka ũrĩa ndungata yake ĩkũmũũria;

na wagye yɛn afiri wɔn a wɔbɛtwa yɛn afiri Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ho no nsam.’
17 “Na rĩrĩ, ndungata yaku ĩgũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Kiugo gĩaku mũthamaki mwathi wakwa kĩrondeehere ũhurũko, nĩgũkorwo mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ahaana ta mũraika wa Ngai wa gũkũũrana wega na ũũru. Jehova Ngai waku aroikara nawe.’”
“Aane, ɔhene no bɛma yɛn asomdwoeɛ bio. ‘Menim sɛ wote sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ a wobɛtumi ahunu papa ne bɔne ntam nsonsonoeɛ. Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, nka wo ho.’”
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ndũkaahithe ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ngũkũũria.” Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa nĩakĩarie.”
Ɔhene bisaa sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ mehunu adeɛ baako.” Ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn, me wura?”
19 Nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũtinyiitanĩire na Joabu ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wothe?” Nake mũndũ-wa-nja akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩĩhũgũra mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, aregane na ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa angiuga. Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩ ndungata yaku Joabu yanjĩĩrire njĩke ũndũ ũyũ, na nĩwe wĩkĩrĩte ciugo ici ciothe kanua-inĩ ka ndungata yaku.
Na ɔhene no bisaa sɛ, “Yoab na ɔsomaa wo ha anaa?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Me wura, Daasebrɛ, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matwa yei ho atorɔ? Obiara ntumi mfa biribiara nhinta wo. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ Yoab na ɔsomaa me, na ɔkyerɛɛ me asɛm a menka.
20 Nake Joabu, ndungata yaku nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo nĩgeetha agarũre ũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ ho ihinda rĩĩrĩ. Mwathi wakwa arĩ ũũgĩ ta wa mũraika wa Ngai; nĩamenyaga ũndũ wothe ũrĩa wĩkĩkaga bũrũri-inĩ.”
Ɔyɛɛ saa, sɛdeɛ mɛfa ɛkwan foforɔ so de saa asɛm yi ato wʼanim. Na wo nso, wonim nyansa te sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ, na biribiara a ɛsi yɛn ntam ha no nso, wote aseɛ.”
21 Mũthamaki akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega, nĩngwĩka ũguo. Thiĩ, ũcookie mwanake ũcio ti Abisalomu.”
Enti, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yoab baeɛ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, kɔ na kɔfa aberanteɛ Absalom bra.”
22 Joabu akĩĩgũithia aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ nĩguo amũhe gĩtĩĩo, na akĩrathima mũthamaki. Joabu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ ndungata yaku nĩyamenya atĩ nĩĩrĩkĩtie gwĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, tondũ mũthamaki nĩetĩkĩrĩte ihooya rĩa ndungata yake.”
Yoab hwee ɔhene no nan ase, hyiraa no sɛ, “Ne korakora mu no, woapene me so, na woayɛ mʼabisadeɛ ama me.”
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu agĩthiĩ Geshuru, na agĩcookia Abisalomu Jerusalemu.
Na Yoab kɔɔ Gesur kɔfaa Absalom baa Yerusalem.
24 Nowe mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya athiĩ mũciĩ gwake mwene; ndakarekwo oone ũthiũ wakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abisalomu agĩthiĩ mũciĩ gwake na ndaigana kuona ũthiũ wa mũthamaki.
Nanso, ɔhene maa ahyɛdeɛ yi sɛ, “Absalom tumi kɔ ɔno ankasa ne fie, nanso ɔnhwɛ na wamma mʼanim ha.” Enti, Absalom anhunu ɔhene no.
25 Thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli guothe gũtiarĩ mũndũ ũngĩ o na ũmwe waganagwo gũthakara ta Abisalomu. Kuuma rũcuĩrĩ rwake rwa mũtwe nginya nyarĩrĩ ciake ndaarĩ na kameni.
Israel nyinaa, na obiara nni hɔ a ne ho yɛ fɛ, te sɛ Absalom. Ɛfiri ne tiri so kɔsi ne nan ase, na wohunu sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima ankasa.
26 Rĩrĩa rĩothe eenjaga njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wake, nĩenjagwo o mwaka wathira rĩrĩa njuĩrĩ yamũritũhĩra mũno, angĩamĩthimire, ũritũ wayo wakoragwo ũrĩ cekeri magana meerĩ, kũringana na gĩthimi kĩa mũthamaki.
Afe biara, na ɔyi ne ti pɛnkorɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne nwi no yɛ adesoa ma no. Na sɛ ɔyi na ɔkari a, na ɛyɛ kilogram mmienu ne fa.
27 Nake Abisalomu nĩaciarire aanake atatũ na mũirĩtu ũmwe. Nake mwarĩ eetagwo Tamaru, na aarĩ mũndũ-wa-nja mũthaka.
Na ɔwɔ mmammarima baasa ne ɔbabaa baako. Na ne babaa no din de Tamar. Na Tamar nso kura ahoɔfɛ a ɛmma ɔka.
28 Abisalomu aatũũrire mĩaka ĩĩrĩ Jerusalemu atarĩ oona ũthiũ wa mũthamaki.
Absalom tenaa Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu a wanhunu ɔhene no da.
29 Ningĩ Abisalomu agĩtũmanĩra Joabu nĩguo amũtũme kũrĩ mũthamaki, no Joabu akĩrega gũthiĩ kũrĩ we. Ningĩ akĩmũtũmanĩra riita rĩa keerĩ, no akĩrega gũthiĩ.
Afei, Absalom soma kɔfrɛɛ Yoab sɛ ɔnkɔka bi mma no, nanso Yoab ankɔ. Absalom somaa ne mprenu so, nanso Yoab ankɔ.
30 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũgũnda wa Joabu ũhakanĩte na wakwa, na arĩ na cairi kuo. Thiĩi mũmĩcine na mwaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata cia Abisalomu ikĩgwatia mũgũnda ũcio mwaki ũkĩhĩa.
Ɛno enti, Absalom ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ sɛ, “Monkɔ na momfa ogya nkɔto Yoab atokoɔ afuo a ɛbɛn me deɛ no ho mu.” Na wɔde ogya kɔtoo afuo no mu, sɛdeɛ Absalom hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu agĩthiĩ mũciĩ kwa Abisalomu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma ndungata ciaku icine mũgũnda wakwa?”
Na Yoab baa Absalom nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasomfoɔ akɔto mʼafuo mu ogya?”
32 Nake Abisalomu akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Ndagũtũmanĩire, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ũka, nĩguo ngũtũme kwa mũthamaki, ũkamũũrie atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire nyume Geshuru? Ũngĩrĩ ũndũ mwega korwo nĩkuo ndũũraga o na rĩu!”’ Rĩu-rĩ, nĩngwenda kuona ũthiũ wa mũthamaki, na hangĩkorwo nĩ harĩ na ũndũ njĩkĩte mũũru, nĩakĩĩnjũrage.”
Na Absalom buaa no sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ wokɔbisa ɔhene ma me sɛ, adɛn enti na ɔmaa me sane firi Gesur baeɛ, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔhunu mʼanim koraa? Ɛnneɛ, sɛ anka metenaa me dada mu hɔ ara a, anka ɛyɛ. Ma menhunu ɔhene no, na sɛ medi fɔ wɔ biribi ho a, ɔtumi kum me.”
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki, na akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩĩta Abisalomu, nake agĩũka, akĩinamĩrĩra aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ mbere ya mũthamaki. Nake mũthamaki akĩmumunya Abisalomu.
Enti, Yoab kaa asɛm a Absalom aka akyerɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene no. Afei, Dawid frɛɛ ne ba a wate ne ho no, ma ɔbaa nʼanim. Absalom bɛduruu ɔhene no anim no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase, na Dawid fee nʼano.
