1 Nake Joabu akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩararĩra agĩcakayagĩra Abisalomu.”

Ankyɛ na nkra duu Yoab nkyɛn se ɔhene no resu, redi awerɛhow wɔ Absalom ho.

2 Naguo ũhootani wa mũthenya ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita ciothe ũkĩgarũrũka, ũgĩtuĩka macakaya, tondũ mũthenya ũcio mbũtũ cia ita nĩciaiguire gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mũriũ.”

3 Mũthenya ũcio andũ magĩcooka itũũra-inĩ inene na hitho, o ta ũrĩa andũ macookaga na hitho maconokete rĩrĩa moorĩte kuuma mbaara-inĩ.

Wowiaa wɔn ho kɔɔ kurow no mu sɛnea wɔn a wɔadi nkogu de aniwu guan fi ɔko mu.

4 Nake mũthamaki akĩhumbĩra ũthiũ, akĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa! Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa!”

Ɔhene de ne nsa kataa nʼanim, kɔɔ so twaa adwo se, “Ao, me ba Absalom! Ao, Absalom, me ba, me ba!”

5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu agĩtoonya nyũmba kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩũconorithĩtie andũ aku othe, arĩa marĩkĩtie kũhonokia muoyo waku, na mĩoyo ya ariũ aku na ya airĩtu aku, na mĩoyo ya atumia aku o na ya thuriya ciaku.

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.

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.

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩũkĩra, agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩhingo-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ,” othe magĩũka mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoorĩte magacooka kwao mĩciĩ.

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 Mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, andũ othe maakararanagia makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩwe watũkũũrire kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciitũ; nĩwe watũhonokirie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti. No rĩu nĩorĩte akoima bũrũri-inĩ akĩũrĩra Abisalomu;

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 nake Abisalomu ũrĩa twaitĩrĩirie maguta atũthamakĩre-rĩ, nĩakuĩrĩire mbaara-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwagĩte kwaria ũhoro wa gũcookia mũthamaki nĩkĩ?”

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 Mũthamaki Daudi nĩatũmanire kũrĩ Zadoku na Abiatharu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai, makeerwo atĩrĩ, “Ũriai athuuri a Juda atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrigie thuutha harĩ gũcookia mũthamaki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, kuona atĩ ũrĩa kũraario Isiraeli guothe nĩgũkinyĩire mũthamaki kũrĩa aikaraga?

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.

13 Ningĩ mwĩre Amasa atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ wee ndũrĩ wa mũthiimo wakwa, na thakame yakwa? Ngai arothũũra o na anjĩke ũũru makĩria, angĩkorwo kuuma rĩu gũthiĩ na mbere wee tiwe ũgũtuĩka mũnene wa mbũtũ ciakwa cia ita ithenya rĩa Joabu.’”

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 Nake mũthamaki akĩguucĩrĩria ngoro cia andũ othe a Juda ta ciarĩ ngoro ya mũndũ ũmwe. Nao magĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Cooka, wee hamwe na andũ aku othe.”

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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩcooka agĩthiĩ agĩkinya Jorodani. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Juda nĩmookĩte Giligali nĩguo matũnge mũthamaki mamũringie Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.

Na ɔhene no de nʼani kyerɛɛ Yerusalem. Oduu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, Yudafo behyiaa no sɛ wɔde no retwa asu no.

16 Nake Shimei mũrũ wa Gera, Mũbenjamini kuuma Bahurimu, agĩikũrũka na ihenya marĩ na andũ a Juda nĩguo magatũnge Mũthamaki Daudi.

17 Nake aarĩ na andũ a Benjamini ngiri ĩmwe, o hamwe na Ziba ndungata ya mũciĩ wa Saũlũ, na ariũ ake ikũmi na atano, na ndungata mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nao makĩhanyũka nginya Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani harĩa mũthamaki aarĩ.

Mahu bɔne a mayɛ, enti na madi kan wɔ Yosef abusua nyinaa mu rebekyia wo yi.”

21 Ningĩ Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Shimei ndagĩrĩire nĩ kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ekĩte? Nĩarumire mũitĩrĩrie maguta wa Jehova.”

Na Seruia babarima Abisai kae se, “Simei sɛ owu, efisɛ ɔdomee nea Awurade asra no no.”

22 Nake Daudi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũnyiitanĩire ũndũ ũrĩkũ na inyuĩ, inyuĩ ariũ a Zeruia? Ũmũthĩ nĩguo mũgũtuĩka thũ ciakwa! No kũhoteke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ooragwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli ũmũthĩ? Githĩ niĩ ndikĩũĩ atĩ ũmũthĩ nĩ niĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli?”

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩĩra Shimei atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgũkua.” Nake mũthamaki akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa.

Enti ɔhene no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Simei se, “Wɔrenkum wo.”

24 Na rĩrĩ, Mefiboshethu, mwana wa mũriũ wa Saũlũ, o nake nĩaikũrũkire agĩthiĩ gũtũnga mũthamaki. Nake ndethambĩte magũrũ kana akenja nderu, o na kana akahũũra nguo ciake kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa mũthamaki aathiire nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aacookire arĩ na thayũ.

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 Rĩrĩa ooimire Jerusalemu agatũnge mũthamaki, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mefiboshethu, nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũthiĩ na niĩ?”

Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Mefiboset, adɛn nti na wo ne me ankɔ?”

26 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndungata yaku ndĩ mwonju, ‘Ndoigire atĩrĩ, nĩngũigĩrĩra ndigiri yakwa matandĩko na ndĩmĩhaice, nĩguo hote gũthiĩ na mũthamaki’. No Ziba ndungata yakwa akĩngunyanĩra.

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 Na nĩacambĩtie ndungata yaku kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. Mwathi wakwa mũthamaki ahaana ta mũraika wa Ngai; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩka ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.

31 Ningĩ Barizilai, ũrĩa Mũgileadi agĩikũrũka kuuma Rogelimu akaringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani me hamwe na mũthamaki, na amumagarie njĩra-inĩ ya kuuma kũu.

Gileadni Barsilai nso fi Rogelim baa sɛ ɔrebɛboa ama ɔhene atwa Yordan.

32 Na rĩrĩ, Barizilai aarĩ mũthuuri mũkũrũ mũno wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana. Nĩwe waheaga mũthamaki irio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikarĩte Mahanaimu, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũtongu mũno.

33 Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra Barizilai atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringe mũrĩmo nawe, tũthiĩ ũikare hamwe na niĩ Jerusalemu, na nĩndĩrĩkũheaga irio.”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Barsilai se, “Wo ne me ntwa, na wo ne me nkɔtena Yerusalem, na mɛhwɛ wo.”

34 Nowe Barizilai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mĩaka ĩngĩ ĩigana atĩa niĩ ngũtũũra muoyo nĩguo nyambate thiĩ Jerusalemu hamwe na mũthamaki?

Nanso, Barsilai buaa ɔhene se, “Aka me nna ahe a ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo kɔtena Yerusalem, Nana?

Ɔhene no gye too mu kae se, “Eye, Kimham ne me bɛkɔ, na nea anka mɛyɛ ama wo no, mɛyɛ ama no.”

39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, nake mũthamaki agĩcooka akĩringa. Mũthamaki akĩmumunya Barizilai na akĩmũrathima, nake Barizilai agĩcooka gwake mũciĩ.

Enti nnipa no nyinaa ne ɔhene twaa Yordan, ɔhene no yɛɛ Barsilai atuu, hyiraa no. Na Barsilai san kɔɔ ne kurom.

40 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaringire mũrĩmo agĩkinya Giligali, Kimuhamu akĩringa hamwe nake. Nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita cia Juda na nuthu ya mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli ikĩringia mũthamaki.

Ɔhene faa Kimham kaa ne ho kɔɔ Gilgal. Yuda asraafo nyinaa ne Israel asraafo no mu fa de ɔhene twaa asu no.

41 Thuutha wa kahinda kanini andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmookaga kũrĩ mũthamaki makamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire ariũ a baba, andũ a Juda, matũtunye mũthamaki na wara, na mamũcookie nyũmba yake kuuma mũrĩmo wa Jorodani, hamwe na andũ ake othe?”

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 Andũ othe a Juda magĩcookeria andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Twekire ũguo tondũ mũthamaki nĩ wa nyũmba iitũ. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrakario nĩ ũhoro ũcio? Nĩ irio tũrĩĩte cia mũthamaki? Nĩ harĩ kĩndũ twĩyoeire ithuĩ ene?”
