Afei, Dawid yiyii asahene ne asafohene dii nʼakodɔm anim.
2 Daudi agĩtũma mbũtũ icio cia ita ithiĩ ikarũe, gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩathagwo nĩ Joabu, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩathagwo nĩ Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu, mũrũ wa Zeruia, na gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩgaathwo nĩ Itai ũrĩa Mũgiiti. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mbũtũ icio cia ita atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ niĩ mwene nĩngumagarania na inyuĩ.”
Yoab na ɔtuaa wɔn mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako ano. Yoab nuabarima Abisai a na ɔyɛ Seruia babarima na ɔtuaa nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso ano. Ɛnna nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a aka no, Gatni Itai na ɔtuaa ano. Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm no sɛ, “Me ne mo na ɛrekɔ.”
3 No andũ acio makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgũthiĩ; tũngĩgaakĩrio hinya tũũre-rĩ, matingĩrũmbũiya ũhoro witũ. O na nuthu iitũ ĩngĩkua-rĩ, matingĩrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; no wee ũrĩ bata gũkĩra andũ ngiri ikũmi aitũ. Rĩu nĩ kaba ũtũteithĩrĩrie ũrĩ gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene.”
Nanso, ne mmarima no tiaa mu dendeenden sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wokɔ bi. Na sɛ ɛba sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwae, na yɛdwane, na sɛ mpo, yɛn mu fa koraa wuwu a, ɛrennuru Absalom akodɔm no ho hwee. Wo ara na wɔbɛhwehwɛ. Wo nko ara yɛ yɛn mu ɔpedu enti, ɛyɛ sɛ wobɛtena kurom na sɛ mmoa bi ho hia yɛn a, wode bɛba.”
4 Nake mũthamaki agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngwĩka ũrĩa wothe mũkuona kwagĩrĩire.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩrũgama kĩhingo-inĩ rĩrĩa andũ acio othe moimagaraga marĩ ikundi cia andũ igana igana, na cia ngiri ngiri.
Ɔhene penee so sɛ, “Sɛ modwene sɛ ɛno ne adwene pa deɛ a, mate.” Enti, ɔkɔgyinaa kuro no ɛpono ano, ɛberɛ a akodɔm no rekɔ no.
5 Mũthamaki agĩatha Joabu, na Abishai, na Itai, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Menyererai mwanake ũcio ũgwĩtwo Abisalomu nĩ ũndũ wakwa.” Nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita nĩciaiguire mũthamaki akĩheana watho nĩ ũndũ wa Abisalomu kũrĩ o ũmwe wa anene a mbũtũ cia ita.
Na ɔhene no hyɛɛ Yoab, Abisai ne Itai sɛ, “Me enti mo ne abɔfra Absalom nni no bɔkɔɔ so.” Na akodɔm no nyinaa tee saa nhyɛ a ɔhene hyɛɛ nʼasafohene no.
6 Mbũtũ icio cia ita ikĩerekera werũ-inĩ ikarũe na Isiraeli, nayo mbaara ĩkĩrũĩrwo mũtitũ-inĩ wa Efiraimu.
Enti, ɔko no hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Efraim kwaeɛ mu.

Na Dawid mmarima no yɛɛ Israel akodɔm no pasaa. Ɛyɛ akofena ano kum, na da no, mmarima ɔpeduonu na wɔhweree wɔn nkwa.
8 Mbaara ĩkĩhurunjũka bũrũri wothe, naguo mũtitũ ũkĩniina andũ aingĩ mũthenya ũcio gũkĩra arĩa maaniinirwo nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora.
Ɔko no didi kɔɔ nkuro so, na ɛsiane kwaeɛ no enti, nnipa pii wuwuiɛ sene wɔn a wɔwuu wɔ akofena ano no.
9 Nake Abisalomu agĩcemania na andũ a Daudi. Nake aahaicĩte nyũmbũ yake, na rĩrĩa nyũmbũ yathiiagĩra rungu rwa honge ndumanu cia mũgandi mũnene, mũtwe wa Abisalomu ũkĩhata mũtĩ-inĩ. Nake agĩtigwo acunjuurĩte rĩera-inĩ, nayo nyũmbũ ĩrĩa aahaicĩte ĩgĩthiĩ o na mbere.
Ɔko no gyina mu no, Absalom puee prɛko pɛ wɔ Dawid mmarima no bi mu. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔdwane wɔ nʼafunumpɔnkɔ so, nanso ɔdwane kɔfaa dɔtɔ bi mu wɔ odum bi ase. Ɔdɔtɔ no kyekyeree ne tirinwi, ma ɔkaa mu. Nʼafunumpɔnkɔ no deɛ, na kɔ ara na ɔrekɔ enti, ɔgyaa no hɔ a, ɔsensɛn dɔtɔ no mu a ɔreto adonko wɔ ewiem.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe wao onire ũguo, akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Nĩndona Abisalomu acunjuurĩte mũtĩ-inĩ wa mũgandi.”
Dawid mmarima no baako hunuu asɛm a asi no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Mehunuu Absalom sɛ ɔsensɛn dua bi so wɔ dɔtɔ mu.”
11 Joabu akĩĩra mũndũ ũrĩa wamwĩrire ũguo atĩrĩ, “Atĩ kĩĩ! Nĩwamuona? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiria ũmũgũthe agwe thĩ o ro hau? Nĩingĩakũhe cekeri ikũmi cia betha, na mũcibi wa mũndũ njamba.”
Yoab bisaa sɛ, “Asɛm pa ara? Wohunuu no na woanku no? Anka mɛma wo dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunan ne akokoɔduru abɔwomu sɛ akradeɛ.”
12 No mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “O na ingĩthimĩrwo cekeri ngiri ĩmwe njĩkĩrĩrwo guoko, ndingĩtambũrũkĩria mũrũ wa mũthamaki guoko ndĩmwĩke ũũru. Mũthamaki aagwathire wee, na Abishai, na Itai tũkĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Menyererai mwanake ũcio ũgwĩtwo Abisalomu nĩ ũndũ wakwa.’
Ɔbarima no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ anka wobɛma me dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa koraa a, anka merenyɛ saa. Yɛn nyinaa tee sɛ, ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wo, Abisai ne Itai sɛ, ‘Me enti, obiara nnyɛ aberanteɛ Absalom bɔne.’
13 Na ingĩtwarĩrĩirie muoyo wakwa thĩĩna-inĩ, na tondũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ũhithagwo mũthamaki, no wĩeherie ũndiganĩrie.”
Na sɛ mebu ɔhene asɛm so kum ne babarima a, anka deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, ɔhene bɛhwehwɛ deɛ ɔyɛɛ saa. Na anka wʼankasa ne onipa a anka wobɛyi me ama.”
14 Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndigũte mahinda nĩ ũndũ waku.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya matimũ matatũ, agĩthiĩ, akĩmũtheeca namo ngoro Abisalomu arĩ o muoyo hau mũtĩ-inĩ wa mũgandi-inĩ ũcio.
Yoab kaa sɛ, “Saa nkwaseasɛm yi ayɛ yie.” Enti, ɔtwee mpɛmɛ mmiɛnsa de wowɔɔ Absalom akoma mu ɛberɛ a na ɔsensɛn odum no so a na ɔnwuiɛ no.
15 Nao andũ ikũmi arĩa maakuuagĩra Joabu indo cia mbaara makĩrigiicĩria Abisalomu, makĩmũhũũra, makĩmũũraga.
Yoab akodeɛkurafoɔ no mu mmeranteɛ edu twaa Absalom ho hyiaeɛ, na wɔkumm no.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu akĩhuha karumbeta, nacio mbũtũ cia ita igĩtiga gũtengʼeria andũ a Isiraeli, tondũ Joabu nĩacirũgamirie.
Na Yoab hyɛnee totorobɛnto, maa akodɔm no gyaee Israel so taa.
17 Nao makĩoya Abisalomu, makĩmũikia irima inene kũu mũtitũ, na makĩũmba hĩba nene ya mahiga igũrũ rĩake. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩũrĩra kwao mĩciĩ.
Wɔfaa Absalom amu no to twenee amena donkudonku bi mu wɔ kwaeɛ mu hɔ, na wɔsoaa abotan guu ne so. Na Israelfoɔ no nyinaa dwane kɔɔ wɔn afie.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩ muoyo, Abisalomu nĩeyakĩire gĩtugĩ agĩkĩhaanda Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Mũthamaki kĩrĩ gĩa kĩririkano gĩake, tondũ eeciirĩtie atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na kahĩĩ kangĩtũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.” Agĩĩta gĩtugĩ kĩu rĩĩtwa rĩake, nakĩo gĩĩtagwo Gĩtugĩ kĩa Abisalomu nginya ũmũthĩ.
Ɛberɛ a Absalom te ase no, ɔsii nkaeɛdum bi wɔ ɔhene bɔnhwa mu de kaee ɔno ara ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwenee sɛ, “Menni ɔbabarima biara a ɔbɛyɛ nkaedeɛ biara de akae me din.” Ɔde nkaeɛdum no too ne ho, na wɔfrɛ no Absalom Nkaeɛdum de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
19 Na rĩrĩ, Ahimaazu mũrũ wa Zadoku akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke hanyũke ngatwarĩre mũthamaki ũhoro atĩ Jehova nĩamũhonoketie kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciake.”
Na Sadok babarima Ahimaas kaa sɛ, “Momma mentu mmirika nkɔbɔ ɔhene amaneɛ sɛ, Awurade ayi no afiri atamfoɔ nsam.”
20 Joabu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee tiwe wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtwara ũhoro ũcio ũmũthĩ. Reke ũgaatwara ũhoro ihinda rĩngĩ, no ndũgwĩka ũguo ũmũthĩ, tondũ mũrũ wa mũthamaki nĩakuĩte.”
Na Yoab nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔhene ba awu a, ɛnyɛ asɛm papa mma no. Wobɛtumi akɔbɔ saa amaneɛ no ɛda foforɔ bi, na ɛnyɛ ɛnnɛ.”
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu akĩĩra Mũkushi ũmwe atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere mũthamaki ũrĩa wonete.” Mũkushi ũcio akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya Joabu na akĩhanyũka agĩthiĩ.
Na Yoab ka kyerɛɛ Kusni bi sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔka deɛ woahunu no kyerɛ ɔhene.” Ɛhɔ ara na Kusni no bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Yoab anim, na ɔtuu mmirika kɔeɛ.
22 Ahimaazu mũrũ wa Zadoku akĩĩra Joabu rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “O ũrĩa kũrĩtuĩka, reke nũmĩrĩre Mũkushi ũcio.” No Joabu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũkwenda gũthiĩ nĩkĩ? Wee ndũrĩ na ũhoro ũrĩa ũngĩheerwo kĩheo.”
Bio, Sadok babarima Ahimaas ka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Deɛ ɛbɛba biara mmra, ma me ne Kusni no nkɔ.” Nanso, Yoab bisaa no sɛ, “Me ba, adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ? Wonni amanneɛbɔ biara a ɛbɛma wo abasobɔdeɛ biara.”
23 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ũrĩa kũrĩtuĩka, nĩngwenda kũhanyũka.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩhanyũke!” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahimaazu akĩhanyũka agereire werũ-inĩ, akĩhĩtũka Mũkushi.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mepene so, nanso ma menkɔ.” Enti Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ!” Na Ahimaas faa tata no so kɔeɛ, kɔsianee Kusni no ho.
24 Daudi aaikairĩte thĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩhingo kĩa na thĩinĩ na kĩa nja-rĩ, mũrangĩri agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-igũrũ agereire rũthingo-inĩ. Na rĩrĩa aacũthĩrĩirie nja, akĩona mũndũ ahanyũkĩte arĩ o wiki.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid te kuro no ɛpono ano no, ne wɛmfoɔ no kɔɔ kuro no ɛpono no atifi wɔ ɔfasuo no so. Ɔtoo nʼani no, ɔhunuu sɛ obi de mmirika reba.
25 Nake mũrangĩri agĩĩta mũthamaki na akĩmũmenyithia ũhoro ũcio. Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Akorwo arĩ wiki, akĩrĩ na ũhoro mwega.” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩkuhĩrĩria o gũkuhĩrĩria.
Ɔwɛmfoɔ no teaam ka kyerɛɛ Dawid na ɔhene no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɔno nko ara na ɔnam deɛ a, ebia, na ɔde asɛm pa nam.” Na ɔreba ara, na ɔpinkyɛe.
26 Ningĩ mũrangĩri akĩona mũndũ ũngĩ ahanyũkĩte, agĩĩta mũrangĩri wa kĩhingo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũngĩ ahanyũkĩte arĩ o wiki!” Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “No nginya o nake akorwo ararehe ũhoro mwega.”
Afei ɔwɛmfoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔbarima foforɔ nso di so reba, na ɔteaam sɛ, “Hwɛ onipa foforɔ bi de mmirika reba!” Ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Ebia, na ɔno nso de asɛm pa na ɛnam.”
27 Mũrangĩri akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona mũndũ ũcio wa mbere akĩhanyũka ta Ahimaazu mũrũ wa Zadoku.” Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ mũndũ mwega, arooka arĩ na ũhoro mwega.”
Ɔwɛmfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Ɔbarima a ɔdi ɛkan no sɛ Sadok babarima Ahimaas.” Ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ onipa pa a, ɔde asɛm pa nam.”
28 Ningĩ Ahimaazu agĩĩta mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ na ũũru!” Akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya mũthamaki aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku arogoocwo! Nĩaneanĩte andũ arĩa maatambũrũkĩtie moko mookĩrĩre mũthamaki mwathi wakwa.”
Na Ahimaas teaam, frɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Biribiara yɛ!” Ɔkotoo wɔ ɔhene no anim, de nʼanim butuu fam kaa sɛ, “Animuonyam nka Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn. Ɔde nnipa a wɔyɛɛ dɔm tiaa me wura ɔhene ahyɛ ne nsa.”
29 Nake mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũcio ti Abisalomu arĩ o thayũ?” Nake Ahimaazu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonire kĩrigiicano kĩnene rĩrĩa Joabu ekwendaga gũtũma ndungata ya mũthamaki o na niĩ, ndungata yaku, no ndinamenya kiuma gĩa kĩĩ.”
Ɔhene bisaa sɛ, “Na aberanteɛ, Absalom ho yɛ anaa?” Ahimaas buaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a Yoab yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsoma ɔhene ɔsomfoɔ ne me wo ɔsomfoɔ no, mehunuu sɛ nneɛma ayɛ basaa a na menhunu mu yie.”
30 Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũgama haha mwena-inĩ weterere.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ mwena-inĩ, akĩrũgama ho.
Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyina nkyɛn ha na twɛn.” Enti, ɔgyinaa nkyɛn twɛnee.
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũkushi agĩkinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, ta igua ũhoro ũyũ mwega! Jehova nĩakũhonoketie ũmũthĩ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maragũũkĩrĩire.”
Na Kusni no bɛduruiɛ kaa sɛ, “Me wura, Nana, tie asɛm pa a mede nam! Ɛnnɛ, Awurade ayi wo afiri wɔn a wɔsɔre tiaa wo no nyinaa nsam.”
32 Mũthamaki akĩũria Mũkushi atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũrĩa ti Abisalomu arĩ o thayũ?” Mũkushi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thũ ciothe cia mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, na andũ arĩa othe mangĩũkĩra makũgere ngero marotũĩka ta mwanake ũcio.”
Na ɔhene bisaa Kusni no sɛ, “Na aberanteɛ Absalom ho te sɛn?” Kusni no buaa sɛ, “Me wura ɔhene, atamfoɔ nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔsɔre tia wo, pɛ sɛ wɔyɛ wo bɔne no, nhunu amane sɛ saa aberanteɛ no.”
33 Mũthamaki akĩinaina. Akĩhaica, agĩthiĩ nyũmba ya igũrũ ya kĩhingo-inĩ, akĩrĩra. Agĩthiĩ akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi mũrũ wakwa Abisalomu! Mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa Abisalomu! Naarĩ korwo nĩ niĩ ndĩrakuire handũ haku, ũũi mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa!”
Ɔhene ho wosoeɛ. Ɔfaa ɛkwan ano ɛpono no mu kɔɔ ne dan mu kɔsuiɛ, twaa adwo. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, me ba Absalom! Me ba, me ba Absalom! Anka menwu nnya wo! Ao, Absalom, me ba, me ba!”
