2 Samwiri 14

1 Awo Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’ategeera nga omutima gwa kabaka gulumirwa Abusaalomu.

Na Yoab huu sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ohu Absalom.

2 Yowaabu n’atumya omukazi omugezigezi okuva e Tekowa, n’amugamba nti, “Weefuule akungubaga, oyambale engoye ez’okukungubaga, teweesiiga mafuta, obeere ng’omukyala amaze ennaku ennyingi ng’akungubagira omufu.

Enti ɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ Tekoa kɔfaa ɔbea nyansafo bi a wagye din yiye brɛɛ no. Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hyɛ da yɛ wo ho sɛ wowɔ ayi mu, na fura ayitam. Nguare anaa mfa aduhuam mpete wo ho nso. Yɛ wo ho sɛ ɔbea a wadi awerɛhow nna bebree.

3 Genda eri kabaka, omugambe ebigambo bino.” Yowaabu n’amuwa ebigambo eby’okwogera.

Na kɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔka asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi kyerɛ no.” Na Yoab kaa asɛm a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbea no kɔka no kyerɛɛ no.

4 Awo omukazi ow’e Tekowa n’agenda eri kabaka, n’avuunama amaaso ge ku ttaka, ne yeeyanza, n’ayogera nti, “Mbeera, ayi kabaka.”

Na Tekoani bea no duu ɔhene no anim no, ɔhwee fam de nʼanim butuw fam teɛɛ mu se, “Ao Nana! Boa me!”

5 Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Nkubeere mu ki?” N’addamu nti, “Ndi nnamwandu baze yafa.

Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Ɛyɛ asɛm bɛn?” Obuaa no se, “Meyɛ okunafo.

6 Nalina batabani bange babiri. Bombi baalwanira ku ttale ne wataba n’omu abataasa, omu n’atta munne.

Me mma baanu twaa wɔn ho koe, a na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛpata wɔn. Ɔbaako bɔɔ ɔbaako kum no.

7 Kaakano ekika kyonna kiyimukidde omuweereza wo, nga boogera nti, ‘Tuwe omusajja oyo asse muganda we, tumutte olw’obulamu bwa muganda we gwe yatta, tutte n’omusika.’ Mu ngeri eyo banaaba bazikizza etabaaza yokka gye nsigazza, obutalekaawo linnya lya baze wange newaakubadde obusika bwe ku nsi yonna.”

Nanso abusua no nkae no kae se, ‘Ma yɛn nsa nka wo ba no a okum ne nua no na yenkum no bi na wammedi agyapade so.’ Na sɛ meyɛ saa nso a, na minni obiara a waka, na me kunu din ne me fi bɛyera wɔ asase so ha.”

8 Awo kabaka n’agamba omukazi nti, “Ddayo eka, nzija kukola ku nsonga yo.”

Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyae asɛm no ma me. Kɔ fie na mɛhwɛ sɛ obiara remfa ne nsa nka no.”

9 Naye omukazi ow’e Tekowa n’agamba kabaka nti, “Mukama wange kabaka, omusango ka gubeere ku nze, n’ennyumba ya kitange; kabaka n’obwakabaka bwe buleme kubeerako musango.”

Ɔkae se, “Me wura, meda wo ase. Mmoa a wode ama me yi nti, sɛ obi kasa tia wo a, mɛfa ho sobo no.”

10 Kabaka n’addamu nti, “Bwe wanaabeerawo omuntu yenna abaako kya kugamba, mundeetere, taddeyo nate kukutawanya.”

Ɔhene no kae se, “Mma eyi nhaw wo. Sɛ nnipa bi mpene a, fa wɔn brɛ me wɔ ha. Na metumi ama wo awerehyɛmu sɛ, obiara renwiinwii wɔ ho bio.”

11 Omukazi n’ayogera nti, “Nkwegayiridde, kabaka, ondayirire eri Mukama Katonda wo, awalana eggwanga olw’omusaayi era aziyiza obubi okweyongera ku bubi, mutabani wange aleme okuzikirizibwa.” N’amuddamu nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, tewaliba luviiri olwa mutabani wo olulimuva ku mutwe.”

Afei, ɔbea no kae se, “Fa Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, no din ka ntam kyerɛ me sɛ, woremma obiara ntɔ me babarima no so were. Menhwehwɛ mogyahwiegu bio.” Ɔhene no nso kae se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, wo ba no tinwi a ɛwɔ ne ti so mu baako mpo ho renka.”

12 Awo omukazi n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ka mbeeko ekigambo kye ŋŋamba mukama wange kabaka.” N’amuddamu nti, “Yogera.”

Afei, ɔbea no kae se, “Ma wo somfo nka biribi nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene.” Obuae se, “Kɔ so kasa.”

13 Omukazi n’ayogera nti, “Kiki ekikukoza ekigambo bwe kityo abantu ba Katonda? Kabaka aba teyeesalira yekka omusango kubanga takomezaawo omwana we eyagobebwa?

Ɔbea no bisae se, “Adɛn nti na wonyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo sɛnea wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wobɛyɛ ama me no. Woabu wo ho fɔ sɛ woasi saa gyinae yi. Wompɛ sɛ woma wʼankasa wo ba a wɔatwa no asu no ba fie.

14 Ffenna tuli baakufa, ng’amazzi bwe gayiibwa ku ttaka, ne gatayinzika kuyooleka nate. Naye Katonda taggyawo bulamu, anoonya engeri gy’anaayinza okukomyawo omuntu abuze.

Nea ɛte biara no, obiara bewu. Na sɛnea nsu hwie gu fam a wosesaw a ɛnyɛ yiye no, saa ara na nkwa te. Ɛno nti na Onyankopɔn san de yɛn ba ne nkyɛn bere a yɛatew yɛn ho afi ne ho no. Wɔn a ɔhwɛ wɔn no, ɔmma wɔnnhwere wɔn kra; enti wo nso, ɛnsɛ sɛ woyɛ saa.

15 “Kale nno ekyo kye kyandeese eri kabaka, kubanga abantu bantiisizza, ne baleetera omuweereza wo okulowooza nti, ‘Bwe nnaayogera ne kabaka, mpozzi aliddamu omuweereza we ky’amusaba.

“Na maba sɛ merebedi ama me babarima, efisɛ wɔde owu hunahuna me ne me ba no. Meka kyerɛɛ me ho se, ‘Ebia, ɔhene betie me,

16 Oboolyawo kabaka anaawulira ensonga yange, n’alokola omuzaana we mu mukono gw’omusajja agezaako okunzikiriza nze n’omwana wange okutuggyako obusika Katonda bwe yatuwa.’

na wagye yɛn afi wɔn a wobetwa yɛn afi Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ho no nsam.’

17 “Era omuweereza wo yayogedde mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Ekigambo kya mukama wange kabaka kye kirimpummuza, kubanga mukama wange kabaka ali nga malayika wa Katonda mu kwawulamu ebirungi n’ebibi. Mukama Katonda wo abeere naawe.’”

“Yiw, ɔhene no bɛma yɛn asomdwoe bio. ‘Minim sɛ wote sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔfo a wubetumi ahu papa ne bɔne ntam nsonoe. Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, nka wo ho.’”

18 Awo kabaka n’agamba omukazi nti, “Tobaako n’ekimu ky’onkisa ku bye nnaakubuuza.” Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange kabaka ambuuze.”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Mepɛ sɛ mihu ade baako; mfa nhintaw me.” Ɔbea no kae se, “Ɛyɛ dɛn asɛm, me wura?”

19 Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Omukono gwa Yowaabu guli wamu naawe mu bigambo ebyo byonna?” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Nga bw’oli omulamu mukama wange kabaka, tewali ayinza okukubuzaabuza ng’adda ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ogwa kkono okukuggya ku ky’oyogera mukama wange kabaka. Weewaawo, omuddu wo Yowaabu yeyandagidde, n’ampa n’ebigambo ebyo byonna.

“Yoab na ɔsomaa wo ha ana?” Ɔbea no buae se, “Me wura, Daasebrɛ, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matwa eyi ho atoro? Obiara ntumi mfa biribiara nhintaw wo. Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ Yoab na ɔsomaa me, na ɔkyerɛɛ me asɛm a menka.

20 Omuddu wo Yowaabu, ekyo y’akikoze okukyusa embeera eriwo kaakano. Naye mukama wange mugezigezi nga malayika wa Katonda amanyi byonna ebifa ku nsi.”

Ɔyɛɛ saa, sɛnea mɛfa ɔkwan foforo so de saa asɛm yi ato wʼanim. Na wo nso, wunim nyansa te sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔfo, na biribiara a esi yɛn ntam ha no nso, wote ase.”

21 Awo kabaka n’agamba Yowaabu nti, “Kale, nzija kukikola. Genda okime omuvubuka Abusaalomu.”

Enti ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yoab bae, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Eye, kɔ na kɔfa aberante Absalom bra.”

22 Awo Yowaabu n’agwa bugazi ku ttaka ne yeeyanza, n’asabira kabaka omukisa, n’ayogera nti, “Leero, omuddu wo ategedde ng’alabye ekisa mu maaso go, mukama wange kabaka, kubanga kabaka azeemu okwegayirira okw’omuddu we.”

Yoab hwee ɔhene no nan ase, hyiraa no se, “Ne korakora mu no, woapene me so, na woayɛ mʼabisade ama me.”

23 Yowaabu n’agenda e Gesuli n’akima Abusaalomu n’amukomyawo e Yerusaalemi.

Na Yoab kɔɔ Gesur kɔfaa Absalom baa Yerusalem.

24 Naye kabaka n’awa ekiragiro nti, “Ateekwa kugenda mu nnyumba eyiye ku bubwe, tateekwa kulaba maaso gange.” Awo Abusaalomu n’abeera mu nnyumba eyiye ku bubwe, n’atalaba maaso ga kabaka.

Nanso ɔhene hyɛe se, “Absalom tumi kɔ ɔno ankasa ne fi, nanso ɔnhwɛ na wamma mʼanim ha.” Enti Absalom anhu ɔhene no.

25 Mu Isirayiri yonna temwali n’omu eyatenderezebwa nga Abusaalomu olw’endabika ye ennungi, kubanga okuviira ddala ku mutwe okutuuka ku bigere teyaliiko kamogo.

Israel nyinaa, na obiara nni hɔ a ne ho yɛ fɛ, te sɛ Absalom. Efi ne ti so kosi ne nan ase, na wuhu sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima ankasa.

26 Buli lwe yasalanga enviiri ze, lwe zali ng’ennyingi ku mutwe gwe, obuzito bw’azo bw’ali nga kilo bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu ng’ebipimo bya kabaka bwe byali.

Afe biara, na oyi ne ti pɛnkoro, efisɛ ne nwi no yɛ adesoa ma no. Na sɛ oyi na ɔkari a, na ɛyɛ kilogram abien ne fa.

27 Abusaalomu n’azaalirwa abaana basatu aboobulenzi n’owoobuwala omu. Omuwala ye yali Tamali nga mukyala mulungi nnyo ku maaso.

Na ɔwɔ mmabarima baasa ne ɔbabea baako. Na ne babea no din de Tamar. Na Tamar nso wɔ ahoɔfɛ a ɛmma ɔka.

28 Abusaalomu n’abeera mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka ebiri nga talaba maaso ga kabaka.

Absalom tenaa Yerusalem mfe abien a wanhu ɔhene no da.

29 Awo Abusaalomu n’atumya Yowaabu amutume eri kabaka, naye Yowaabu n’atagendayo. N’amutumya omulundi ogwokubiri, naye era n’agaana okugenda yo.

Afei, Absalom soma kɔfrɛɛ Yoab sɛ ɔnkɔka bi mma no, nanso Yoab ankɔ. Absalom somaa ne mprenu so, nanso Yoab ankɔ.

30 Abusaalomu n’agamba abaddu be nti, “Ennimiro ya Yowaabu eriraanye eyange, era alinamu sayiri. Mugende mugikumeko omuliro.” Awo abaddu ba Abusaalomu ne bagikumako omuliro ne bagyokya.

Ɛno nti, Absalom ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo se, “Monkɔ na momfa ogya nkɔto Yoab atokofuw a ɛbɛn me de no ho mu.” Na wɔde ogya kɔtoo afuw no mu, sɛnea Absalom hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.

31 Yowaabu n’agolokoka n’agenda eri Abusaalomu mu nnyumba ye n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki abaddu bo bookezza ennimiro yange?”

Na Yoab baa Absalom nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasomfo akɔto mʼafuw mu gya?”

32 Abusaalomu n’agamba Yowaabu nti, “Laba, nakutumya, nga ŋŋamba ojje wano nkutume eri kabaka okumubuuza nti, ‘Lwaki nava e Gesuli? Kyandisinze singa nasigala eyo.’ Kaakano njagala kugenda mu maaso ga kabaka, obanga nnina omusango, anzite.”

Na Absalom buaa no se, “Efisɛ na mepɛ sɛ wukobisa ɔhene ma me sɛ, adɛn nti na ɔmaa me san fii Gesur bae, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ohu mʼanim koraa? Ɛno de, sɛ anka metenaa me dedaw mu hɔ ara a, anka eye. Ma minhu ɔhene no, na sɛ midi fɔ wɔ biribi ho a, otumi kum me.”

33 Awo Yowaabu n’agenda eri kabaka, n’amutegeeza ebigambo ebyo. Kabaka n’atumya Abusaalomu, n’ajja, n’avuunama amaaso ge wansi mu maaso ga kabaka. Kabaka n’amunywegera.

Enti Yoab kaa asɛm a Absalom aka akyerɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene no. Afei, Dawid frɛɛ ne ba a watew ne ho no, ma ɔbaa nʼanim. Absalom beduu ɔhene no anim no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase, na Dawid few nʼano.
