< 2 Samuel 15 >
1 Eyi akyi no, Absalom tɔɔ teaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ, na ɔbɔɔ mmarima aduonum paa sɛ wobedi nʼanim.
Therfor aftir these thingis Absolon made a chaar to hym, and knyytis, and fifti men, that schulden go bifor hym.
2 Adekyee biara, ɔsɔre ntɛm na wakɔtena kuropɔn no pon ano. Na sɛ nnipa bi de asɛm bɛto ɔhene no anim sɛ ommu ho atɛn a, Absalom bebisa faako a wofi, na wɔakyerɛ abusuakuw a wofi mu.
And Absolon roos eerli, and stood bisidis the entryng of the yate in the weie; and Absolon clepide to hym ech man, that hadde a cause that he schulde come to the doom of the kyng, and Absolon seide, Of what citee art thou? Which answeride, and seide, Of o lynage of Israel Y am, thi seruaunt.
3 Na Absalom bɛka se, “Wʼasɛm yɛ dɛ de, nanso ɔhene nni obiara a obetie.
And Absolon answeride to hym, Thi wordis semen to me good and iust, but noon is ordeyned of the kyng to here thee. And Absolon seide, Who schal ordeyne me iuge on the lond,
4 Sɛ meyɛ otemmufo anka mepɛ. Anka nnipa de wɔn nsɛm bɛba mʼanim, na mabu wɔn atɛn.”
that alle men that han cause come to me, and Y deme iustly?
5 Sɛ nnipa pɛ sɛ wɔkotow no a, Absalom remma wɔn nyɛ saa na mmom obeso wɔn nsa, ayɛ wɔn atuu.
But whanne a man cam to Absolon to greete hym, he helde forth the hond, and took, and kisside that man;
6 Absalom yɛɛ saa de nyaa Israelfo no nyinaa wɔ nʼafa.
and Absolon dide this to al Israel, that cam to doom to be herd of the kyng; and Absolon drow awei the hertis of men of Israel.
7 Mfirihyia anan akyi no, Absalom ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ma menkɔ Hebron na menkɔbɔ afɔre mma Awurade sɛnea mahyɛ no bɔ no.
Forsothe aftir foure yeer Absolon seide to kyng Dauid, Y schal go, and Y schal yelde my vowis, whiche Y vowide to the Lord in Ebron;
8 Bere a na mewɔ Gesur no na mehyɛɛ saa bɔ no se, ‘Sɛ Awurade de me san ba Yerusalem a, mɛbɔ afɔre ama no wɔ Hebron.’”
for thi seruaunt vowynge vowide, whanne he was in Gessur of Sirie, and seide, If the Lord bryngith ayen me in to Jerusalem, Y schal make sacrifice to the Lord.
9 Ɔhene no kae se, “Eye, kɔ na kodi wo bɔhyɛ so.” Enti Absalom kɔɔ Hebron.
And the kyng seide to hym, Go thou in pees. And Absolon roos, and yede in to Ebron.
10 Bere a ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔfaa sum ase somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Israel mmaa nyinaa kɔhwanyan ɔmanfo de tiaa ɔhene no. Ne nkra ne se, “Sɛ mote torobɛnto nne pɛ a, monka se, ‘Absalom adi hene wɔ Hebron.’”
Forsothe Absolon sente aspieris in to al the lynage of Israel, and seide, Anoon as ye heren the sown of clarioun, seye ye, Absolon schal regne in Ebron.
11 Absalom faa mmarima ahannu fii Yerusalem kaa ne ho a na wonnim Absalom nsusuwii yi ho hwee.
Forsothe twei hundrid men clepid of Jerusalem yeden with Absolon, and yede with symple herte, and outirli thei knewen not the cause.
12 Bere a Absalom rebɔ afɔre no, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfaa Giloni Ahitofel a na ɔyɛ Dawid fotufo fi ne kurom Gilo bae. Enti pɔwbɔ no mu yɛɛ den na nnipa bebree no ara bɛkaa Absalom ho.
Also Absolon clepide Achitofel of Gilo, the councelour of Dauid, fro his citee Gilo. And whanne he offride sacrifices a strong swerynge togidere was maad, and the puple rennynge togidere was encreessid with Absolon.
13 Ankyɛ, ɔbɔfo bi baa Yerusalem bɛka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Dawid se, “Israel nyinaa atu di Absalom akyi sɛ wɔayɛ adɔm atia wo.”
Therfor a messanger cam to Dauid, and seide, With al herte al Israel sueth Absolon.
14 Ɛhɔ ara, Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Monyɛ no ntɛm na yenguan mfi ha, ansa na wadu ha, sɛnea amanehunu bɛpare yɛn ne Yerusalem kurow mu no nyinaa.”
And Dauid seide to hise seruauntis that weren with hym in Jerusalem, Rise ye, and flee we; for noon ascaping schal be to us fro the face of Absolon; therfor haste ye to go out, lest he come, and ocupie vs, and fille on vs fallynge, and smyte the citee bi the scharpnesse of swerd.
15 Nʼafotufo no buae se, “Yegyina wʼakyi. Biribiara a wugye di sɛ eye no, yɛ.”
And the seruauntis of the kyng seiden to hym, We thi seruauntis schulen performe gladli alle thingis, what euer thingis oure lord the kyng schal comaunde.
16 Enti ɔhene no ne ne fifo sii mu kɔɔ prɛko pɛ a wannyaw biribiara wɔ akyi sɛ ne mpenanom du bi a wɔbɛhwɛ nʼahemfi no so.
Therfor the kyng yede out, and al his hous, on her feet; and the king lefte ten wymmen concubyns, `that is, secundarie wyues, to kepe the hous.
17 Ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfo no faa fam, na wɔfaa kuropɔn no fa bi,
And the king yede out, and al Israel, on her feet, and the kyng stood fer fro the hous.
18 maa Dawid asraafo no betwaa wɔn ho dii wɔn anim. Nnipa a wɔkaa Dawid ho kɔe no yɛ Gitifo ahansia a wofi Gat a ne bammɔfo nso ka ho.
And alle hise seruauntis yeden bisidis him, and the legiouns of Cerethi and of Ferethi, and alle men of Geth `strong fiyters, sixe hundrid men, that sueden him fro Geth, yeden on foote bifor the kyng.
19 Na ɔhene no bisaa Gatni Itai a ɔyɛ ɔsafohene no se, “Adɛn nti na woka yɛn ho rekɔ? San kɔka wo nkurɔfo ho, na monkɔ ɔhene Absalom nkyɛn, efisɛ woyɛ ɔhɔho wɔ Israel ne ɔmamfrani a wɔatwa wo asu.
Forsothe the kyng seide to Ethai of Geth, Whi comest thou with vs? Turne thou ayen, and dwelle with the kyng, for thou art a pilgrym, and thou yedist out fro thi place.
20 Wuduu ha nnɛra nko ara. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mehyɛ wo na wo ne yɛn kyin ana? Me mpo, minnim baabi a yɛbɛkɔ. San wʼakyi na kɔfa wo asraafo ka wo ho, na Awurade nkyerɛ wo ne dɔ ne ne nokware.”
Thou camest yistirdai, and to dai thou art compellid to go out with vs. Sotheli Y schal go, whidur Y schal go; turne ayen, and lede ayen thi britheren with thee, and the Lord do mercy and treuthe with thee, for thou schewidist grace and feith.
21 Nanso Itai ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Mede Awurade din ne wo ara wo nkwa ka ntam se, baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, mɛkɔ bi a nea ebesi biara mfa me ho; sɛ ɛyɛ nkwa anaa owu.”
And Ethai answeride to the kyng, and seide, The Lord lyueth, and my lord the kyng lyueth, for in what euer place thou schalt be, my lord the kyng, ether in deeth ethir in lijf, there thi seruaunt schal be.
22 Dawid buaa no se, “Eye, ka yɛn ho.” Ɛno nti, Itai ne ne mmarima ahansia ne wɔn fifo kaa wɔn ho kɔe.
And Dauid seide to Ethay, Come thou, and passe. And Ethai of Geth passide, and the kyng, and alle men that weren with hym, and the tother multitude.
23 Awerɛhow kɛse sii asase no so, bere a ɔhene ne nʼakyidifo retwa mu no. Wotwaa Kidron Bon no de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ sare so.
And alle men wepten with greet vois, and al the puple passide; and the kyng yede ouer the strond of Cedron, and al the puple yede ayens the weie of the olyue tree, that biholdith to deseert.
24 Abiatar ne Sadok ne Lewifo no faa Apam Adaka no, na wɔde sii kwankyɛn. Na wɔbɔɔ afɔre wɔ hɔ kosii sɛ obiara senee.
Forsothe and Sadoch the preest cam, and alle the dekenes with hym, and thei baren the arke of boond of pees of God, and thei diden doun the arke of God; and Abiathar stiede, til al the puple was passid that yede out of the citee.
25 Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Sadok se, “San fa Onyankopɔn Adaka no kɔ kuropɔn no mu. Sɛ minya Awurade anim adom a, ɔbɛsan de me aba ama mahu Adaka no ne ne ntamadan no bio.
And the kyng seide to Sadoch, Bere ayen the arke of God in to the citee; if Y schal fynde grace in the iyen of the Lord, he schal lede me ayen, and he schal schewe to me that arke and his tabernacle.
26 Nanso sɛ ɔka se, ‘Mʼani nnye wo ho’ a mepɛ, ma ɔmfa me mfa ɔkwan a onim sɛ eye ma no no so.”
Sotheli if the Lord seith, Thou plesist not me; Y am redi, do he that, that is good bifor hym silf.
27 Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Sadok se, “Me nhyehyɛe ni: Wo ne Abiatar nyɛ komm nsan nkɔ kuropɔn no mu a wo babarima Ahimaas ne Yonatan a ɔyɛ Abiatar babarima ka ho.
And the kyng seide to Sadoch, preest, A! thou seere, `that is, profete, turne ayen in to the citee, with pees; and Achymaas, thi sone, and Jonathas, the sone of Abiathar, youre twei sones, be with you.
28 Mɛtwɛn wɔ faako a wotwa Asubɔnten Yordan kɔ sare no so hɔ akosi sɛ mɛte mo nkra. Momma mente asɛm a ebesi wɔ Yerusalem, ansa na makɔ sare so.”
Lo! Y schal be hid in the feeldi places of deseert, til word come fro you, and schewe to me.
29 Enti Sadok ne Abiatar faa Onyankopɔn Adaka no de san kɔɔ Yerusalem, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
Therfor Sadoch and Abiathar baren ayen the arke of God in to Jerusalem, and dwelliden there.
30 Dawid faa ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ngo Bepɔw so no so a ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔretwa adwo. Na wakata ne ti so, na ne nan sisi fam saa ara a ɛkyerɛ awerɛhowdi. Na nnipa a wɔka ne ho no nso katakataa wɔn ti so, twaa adwo bere a wogu so reforo bepɔw no.
Forsothe Dauid stiede on the hil of olyue trees, stiynge and wepynge, with the heed hilyd, and `goynge with nakid feet; but also al the puple that was with hym, stiede with the heed hilid, and wepte.
31 Bere a obi ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, afei de ne fotufo Ahitofel taa Absalom akyi no, Dawid bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, ma Ahitofel afotu nnan nkwaseasɛm.”
Forsothe it was teld to Dauid, that Achitofel was in the sweryng togidere with Absolon; and Dauid seide, Lord, Y byseche, make thou fonned the counsel of Achitofel.
32 Woduu Ngo Bepɔw no atifi baabi a nnipa som Onyankopɔn no, Dawid huu Husai a ofi Arki a ɔretwɛn no. Na Husai asunsuan nʼatade mu, de dɔte asra ne tirim, de kyerɛ awerɛhowdi.
And whanne Dauid stiede in to the hiyenesse of the hil, in which he schulde worschipe the Lord, lo! Cusi of Arath, with the cloth to-rent, and with the heed ful of erthe, cam to hym.
33 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wo ne me kɔ a, wobɛyɛ adesoa ama me.
And Dauid seide to hym, If thou comest with me, thou schalt be to me to charge; sotheli if thou turnest ayen in to the citee,
34 San kɔ Yerusalem, na ka kyerɛ Absalom se, ‘Afei, mɛyɛ wo fotufo sɛnea da bi hɔ no na meyɛ wʼagya fotufo no.’ Ɛba saa a, wubetumi atia Ahitofel afotu mu, asɛe no.
and seist to Absolon, Y am thi seruaunt, kyng, suffre thou me to lyue; as Y was the seruaunt of thi fadir, so Y schal be thi seruaunt; thou schalt distrye the counsel of Achitofel.
35 Asɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar wɔ hɔ. Ka adwene a wɔafa wɔ me ho, pɛ sɛ wɔkyere me no kyerɛ wɔn,
Forsothe thou hast with thee Sadoch and Abiathar, preestis; and `thou schalt schewe ech word, what euer word thou schalt here in the hows of the kyng, to Sadoch and Abiathar, preestis.
36 na wɔbɛsoma wɔn mmabarima Ahimaas ne Yonatan na wɔabɛhwehwɛ me, aka nea ɛrekɔ so akyerɛ me.”
Sotheli twei sones `of hem ben with hem, Achymaas, sone of Sadoch, and Jonathan, sone of Abiathar; and ye schulen sende bi hem to me ech word which ye schulen here.
37 Enti Dawid adamfo Husai san kɔɔ Yerusalem, koduu hɔ bere koro a Absalom nso duu hɔ no mu.
Therfor whanne Chusi, freend of Dauid, cam in to the citee, also Absolon entryde in to Jerusalem.
