5 “Ugbu a, gị onwe gị maara ihe Joab nwa Zeruaya mere m, ya bụ ihe o mere mmadụ abụọ bụ ndịisi agha Izrel, Abna nwa Nea, na Amasa nwa Jeta. O gburu ha, wufuo ọbara ha nʼoge udo, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ihe e mere nʼagha. O jikwa ọbara ahụ merụọ ihe okike o kere nʼukwu na akpụkpọụkwụ o yi nʼụkwụ.

Wo ne no nni, na mma no mmfa ne ti dwono nkɔ damena mu asomdwoeɛ mu. (Sheol h7585)

10 Emesịa, Devid sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. E liri ya na obodo Devid.

Na Dawid wuiɛ, na wɔsiee no wɔ Dawid kurom.

11 Ma ọ chịrị Izrel iri afọ anọ; ọ chịrị afọ asaa na Hebrọn, chịakwa iri afọ atọ na atọ na Jerusalem.

Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Israel mfeɛ aduanan a ne nkyerɛmu ne sɛ, ɔdii Hebron so mfeɛ nson ɛnna Yerusalem nso, ɔdii adeɛ mfeɛ aduasa mmiɛnsa.

12 Solomọn nọdụrụ nʼocheeze nna ya Devid dịka eze. Alaeze ya guzosiri ike nke ukwuu. Ọchịchị ya gakwara nke ọma.

Enti, Salomo tenaa nʼagya Dawid ahennwa so, na nʼadedie ase timiiɛ yie.

13 Otu ụbọchị, Adonaịja nwa Hagit, bịakwutere Batsheba, nne Solomọn. Mgbe Batsheba hụrụ ya, ọ jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụkwa ọbịbịa udo ka ị bịara?” Adonaịja zara sị ya, “E, abịara m nʼudo.”

Na Hagit babarima Adoniya kɔɔ Salomo ne maame Batseba nkyɛn. Batseba bisaa no sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ so anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ so.”

14 O kwuru sị, “O nwere ihe m nwere ịgwa gị.” Nne Solomọn zara sị ya, “Kwuo.”

Na ɔka kaa ho sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ woyɛ me adɔeɛ bi.” Na Batseba bisaa sɛ, “Adɔeɛ bɛn.”

15 Ọ zara sị, “Dịka ị maara, ọ bụ m nwe alaeze a. Ndị Izrel niile lekwara anya na m ga-abụ eze ha. Ma otu ọ dị, ihe niile adịghịkwa ka ọ dị na mbụ, alaeze a aghọọla nke nwanne m, nʼihi na o si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị rute ya aka.

Adoniya kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ wonim no, na ahemman no yɛ me dea. Na Israel nyinaa hwɛ me kwan sɛ wɔn ɔhene. Nanso, nneɛma sesaeɛ, na ahemman no kɔɔ me nuabarima nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade pɛ no saa.

16 Ugbu a, enwere m otu ihe m na-arịọ nʼaka gị. Biko ajụkwala imere m ya.” Batsheba sịrị ya, “Gịnị bụ arịrịọ gị? Kwuo ihe ọ bụ.”

Seesei, adeɛ baako na mepɛ sɛ mebisa wo. Mfa nkame me.” Ɔkaa sɛ, “Wotumi bisa me.”

17 Ọ zaghachiri ya sị, “Biko rịọrọ m Solomọn eze, nʼihi na amaara m na ọ ga-eme ihe ọbụla ị rịọrọ ya, ka ọ kpọnye m Abishag, nwanyị Shunem ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”

Na ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Kɔbisa ɔhene Salomo ma me, na ɔremfa dekodeɛ no nkame wo. Bisa no na ɔmfa Abisag Sunamni no mma me sɛ me yere.”

18 Batsheba zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m agwara gị eze okwu.”

Na Batseba buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, mɛka ho asɛm akyerɛ ɔhene ama wo.”

19 Emesịa, Batsheba bịakwutere eze Solomọn ịgwa ya okwu banyere Adonaịja. Mgbe ọ na-abata, eze sitere nʼocheeze ya bilie gaa izute ya, kpọkwaa isiala nye ya nọdụ ala nʼocheeze ya. O mere ka e butere nne eze ocheeze, ọ nọdụkwara ala nʼaka nri ya.

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

20 Ọ sịrị, “Enwere m arịrịọ nta m chọrọ ịrịọ gị. Ajụkwala i mere m ya.” Eze zaghachiri, “Rịọọ ya nne m. Agaghị m ajụ i mere gị ya.”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene sɛ, “Mewɔ adeɛ ketewaa bi bisa wo, na mfa nkame me.” Ɔhene no buaa no sɛ, “Bisa me, me maame. Meyɛ ama wo.”

21 Ya mere ọ sịrị, “Biko, kwere ka enye nwanne gị nwoke Adonaịja Abishag nwanyị Shunem, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.”

Enti, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ma wɔmfa Sunamni Abisag mma wo nuabarima Adoniya awadeɛ.”

22 Eze Solomọn zara nne ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji rịọọ m ka m nye Adonaịja naanị Abishag nwanyị Shunem ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya? Ị gaara arịọkwa m sị m nye ya alaeze m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya tọrọ m” Ị gaara arịọkwa nʼihi Abịata onye nchụaja ma Joab nwa Zeruaya.

Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ne maame sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ Adoniya ware Sunamni Abisag? Ɛnneɛ, sɛ wobɛbisa ahemman nso ama no. Wonim sɛ ɔyɛ me nua panin na ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar ne Seruia babarima Yoab nso boa no!”

23 Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn ji Onyenwe anyị ṅụọ iyi sị, “Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na Adonaịja ejighị ndụ ya kwụọ ụgwọ nʼihi arịrịọ a.

Na ɔhene Salomo de Awurade edin kaa ntam sɛ, “Sɛ Adoniya amfa ne nkwa antwa saa abisadeɛ yi so a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no denden so pa ara.

24 Ugbu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, bụ onye ahụ mere ka m nọgidesie ike nʼocheeze nna m Devid, onye mere ka ọchịchị eze m malite dịka o kwere na nkwa, a ga-eme ka Adonaịja nwụọ taa.”

Na seesei deɛ, mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, ɔno a watim mʼase wɔ mʼagya Dawid ahennwa so, na wabɔ me fie ahennie mu nnidisoɔ atenaseɛ ama me, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ me bɔ no, Adoniya deɛ, twa ara na ɛtwa sɛ ɔwu ɛnnɛ yi ara.”

25 Eze Solomọn zigara Benaya nwa Jehoiada ka ọ gaa gbuo Adonaịja. Benaya gakwara tigbuo Adonaịja.

Enti, Salomo hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ ɔnkum no, na ɔkumm Adoniya.

26 Eze kpọkwara Abịata onye nchụaja sị ya, “Laghachi azụ nʼubi gị nʼAnatot. I kwesiri ịnwụ ọnwụ ma ọ bụghị ugbu a ka a ga-egbu gị nʼihi na i buru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼoge nna m Devid dị ndụ. I sokwa ya hụọ ahụhụ nʼoge ahụ niile o nwere nsogbu.”

Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar sɛ, “Sane kɔ wo kurom Anatot. Wofata sɛ wowuo, nanso merenku wo seesei, ɛfiri sɛ, wosoaa Awurade Otumfoɔ Adaka no maa mʼagya, na wo ne no nyinaa na mohunuu amane wɔ nʼabɛbrɛsɛ nyinaa mu.”

27 Ya mere, Solomọn chụpụrụ Abịata ka ọ ghara ịbụ onye nchụaja Onyenwe anyị ọzọ. Otu a ka o si mezuo bụ okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere ezinaụlọ Elayị na Shaịlo.

Enti, Salomo worɔɔ Abiatar atadeɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ, nam so dii mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ wɔ Silo fa Eli asefoɔ ho no so.

28 Ma mgbe Joab nụrụ na Adonaịja anwụọla, ọ gbaara ọsọ gaa nʼụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị jigide mpi dị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja aka. Ọ bụ ezie na Joab so Adonaịja gbaa izu imegide Solomọn, ma o soghị Absalọm gbaa izu imegide Devid.

Ɛwom, ahyɛaseɛ no na ɔnni Absalom akyi, nanso Yoab de ne ho kɔdɔm Adoniya adɔnyɛ no. Ɛberɛ a Yoab tee Adoniya wuo no, ɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ Awurade ntomadan kronkron no mu, na ɔkɔsosɔɔ mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no mu.

29 Mgbe a gwara eze Solomọn, na Joab a gbabala nʼụlọ ikwu Onyenwe anyị, nọdụ nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja. Solomọn nyere Benaya, nwa Jehoiada iwu sị, “Gaa, tituo ya nʼala.”

Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Salomo tee asɛm yi, ɔsomaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ ɔnkɔkum no.

30 Benaya banyere nʼime ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, sị Joab, “Eze sị gị, ‘pụta ezi!’” Ma ọ zara, “Mba, aga m anwụ nʼebe a.” Nʼihi nke a, Benaya jekwuru eze gwa ya ihe Joab kwuru.

Na Benaia kɔɔ Awurade ntomadan kronkron no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Ɔhene se firi adi.” Nanso, Yoab buaa sɛ, “Dabi, mɛwu wɔ ha.” Enti, Benaia sane kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa asɛm a Yoab aka no kyerɛɛ no.

31 Mgbe ahụ, eze nyere Benaya iwu sị ya, “Gaa mee dịka o kwuru. Gbuo ya, liekwa ya. Nke a ga-eme ka ikpe ọmụma ghara ịdịrị mụ na ezinaụlọ nna m Devid nʼihi ikpe ọmụma dịrị Joab maka ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha ọ wụsiri.

Ɔhene no tee asɛm a Yoab kaeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Benaia sɛ, “Yɛ deɛ ɔkaeɛ no. Ku no wɔ afɔrebukyia no ho, na sie no. Yei bɛyi adwenemherɛ mogyahwieguo ho afɔdie afiri me ne mʼagya fiefoɔ so.

34 Benaya nwa Jehoiada gara gbuo Joab. E liri ya nʼala nke ya dị nʼọzara.

35 Mgbe ahụ, eze họpụtara Benaya, nwa Jehoiada ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi ndị agha ya niile, ma mee Zadọk onye nchụaja nʼọnọdụ Abịata.

36 Emesịa, eze ziri Shimei ozi sị ya, “wuoro onwe gị ụlọ na Jerusalem, biri nʼebe ahụ, esitekwala nʼebe ahụ pụọ jee ebe ọbụla.

Ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Simei ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Si efie wɔ Yerusalem ha na tena mu. Nanso, mfiri kuro no mu nkɔ baabiara.

Na da a wobɛtwa Kidron bɔnhwa no, wobɛwu; na wo mogya bɛgu wʼankasa wo tiri so.”

38 Shimei zara eze, “Okwu gị dị mma. Ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe m bụ eze kwuru.” Shimei biiri nʼime Jerusalem, nọọkwa ọtụtụ ụbọchị.

Na Simei buaa sɛ, “Wʼatemmuo no yɛ kronn. Biribiara a me wura ɔhene bɛhyɛ sɛ menyɛ no, mɛyɛ.” Enti, Simei tenaa Yerusalem kyɛree yie.

39 Ma nʼọgwụgwụ afọ atọ, ndị ohu abụọ Shimei nwere gbapụrụ ọsọ gbakwuru Akish, nwa Maaka, eze Gat. Ndị mmadụ bịara gwa Shimei sị ya, “Lee, ndị ohu gị nọ na Gat.”

Na mfeɛ mmiɛnsa akyi no, Simei asomfoɔ baanu dwane kɔɔ Gathene Akis, Maaka babarima nkyɛn. Ɛberɛ a Simei hunuu baabi a wɔwɔ no,

41 Mgbe a gwara Solomọn na Shimei hapụrụ Jerusalem gaa Gat ma lọghachikwa azụ,
