2 Samuel 14
1 Na Yoab hunuu sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhunu Absalom.
Pea ko eni, naʻe mamata ʻe Soape, ko e tama ʻo Selaia, kuo ngaue ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi.
2 Enti, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ Tekoa kɔfaa ɔbaa nyansafoɔ bi a wagye edin yie brɛɛ no. Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hyɛ da yɛ wo ho sɛ wowɔ ayie mu, na fira ayitoma. Nnware anaa mfa aduhwam mpete wo ho nso. Yɛ wo ho sɛ ɔbaa a wadi awerɛhoɔ nna bebree.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fekau ʻa Soape ki Tikoa, ʻo ne ʻomi mei ai ʻae fefine poto, pea ne ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fai ʻe koe ʻo hangē ko ha fefine tangi, pea ke ʻai eni ʻae kofu fakatauangaʻa, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tākai ʻaki koe ha lolo, ka ke hangē ko ha fefine kuo mamahi fuoloa koeʻuhi ko e pekia:
3 Na kɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔka asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi kyerɛ no.” Na Yoab kaa asɛm a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbaa no kɔka no kyerɛɛ no.
pea ke haʻu ki he tuʻi, pea ke lea pehē ni kiate ia.” Pea ko ia, naʻe ʻai ʻe Soape ʻae ngaahi lea ki hono ngutu.
4 Na Tekoani baa no duruu ɔhene no anim no, ɔhwee fam de nʼanim butuu fam teaam sɛ, “Ao Nana! Boa me!”
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo lea ʻae fefine mei Tikoa ki he tuʻi, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE tuʻi, ke ke tokoni mai.”
5 Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ asɛm bɛn?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Meyɛ okunafoɔ.
Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “Ko e hā hoʻo mamahi?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Ko e fefine paea moʻoni au, he kuo pekia ʻa hoku husepāniti.
6 Me mma baanu kɔdii ako wɔ akono. Na ɛsiane sɛ na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛpata ɔko no enti, wɔkumm wɔn mu baako.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ʻae tama ʻe toko ua, pea naʻa na fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tokotaha ke fakamavae ʻakinaua, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻae tokotaha ʻa hono tokoua, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia.
7 Nanso, abusua no nkaeɛ no bisaa sɛ, ‘Ma yɛn nsa nka wo ba no. Yɛbɛkum no, ɛfiri sɛ, woakum ne nuabarima. Ɔmfata sɛ ɔbɛdi efie agyapadeɛ so.’ Na sɛ meyɛ saa nso a, na menni obiara a waka, na me kunu din ne me fie bɛyera wɔ asase so ha.”
Pea vakai, kuo hiki ʻita mai ʻae kāinga kotoa pē ki hoʻo kaunanga, pea kuo nau pehē, Tuku mai ia ʻaia naʻe teʻia ʻa hono tokoua, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi ko e moʻui ʻa hono tokoua ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi; pea neongo ko e tama hoko ia, te mau tāmateʻi ia: pea ka pehē, tā ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku kei toe kiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ki hoku husepāniti ha hingoa pe ha toenga [hako ]ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
8 Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyae asɛm no ma me. Kɔ efie na mɛhwɛ sɛ obiara remfa ne nsa nka no.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, “ʻAlu koe ki ho fale, pea te u tokanga ʻo fai ha fekau ki hoʻo meʻa.”
9 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, me wura, meda wo ase. Na sɛ mmoa a woaboa me yi enti, sɛ obi kasa tia wo a, mɛfa ho soboɔ no.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he fefine Tikoa ki he tuʻi, “ʻE Tuʻi, ko hoku ʻeiki, ka kuo halaia, pea tuku ia kiate au, pea ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai: pea ke taʻehalaia ai ʻae tuʻi, pea mo hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi.”
10 Ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Mma yei nha wo. Sɛ nnipa bi mpene a, fa wɔn brɛ me wɔ ha. Na mɛtumi ama wo awerɛhyɛmu sɛ, obiara nwiinwii wɔ ho bio.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Kapau ʻe lea ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe ala kiate koe.”
11 Afei, ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Fa Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, no din ka ntam kyerɛ me sɛ, woremma obiara ntɔ me babarima no so were. Merenhwehwɛ mogyahwieguo bio.” Ɔhene no nso kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, wo ba no tirinwi a ɛwɔ ne tiri so mu baako mpo ho renka.”
Pea naʻe toki pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke manatuʻi ʻe he tuʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ʻae kau totongi toto ke toe fai ha maumau, telia naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻeku tama.” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo ho tama ʻe tō ki he kelekele.”
12 Afei, ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Ma wo ɔsomfoɔ nka biribi nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Kɔ so kasa.”
Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe he fefine, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ki hoʻo kaunanga ke ne fai ha lea ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke lea pe.”
13 Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wonyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wobɛyɛ ama me no. Woabu wo ho fɔ sɛ woasi saa gyinaeɛ yi. Wompɛ sɛ woma wʼankasa wo ba a wɔatwa no asuo no ba efie.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “Pea ko e hā ai kuo ke fakakaukau ki ha meʻa pehē ki he kakai ʻae ʻOtua? ʻOku lea ʻaki eni ʻe he tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku halaia, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai toe ʻomi ki ʻapi ʻaia kuo ne fakahēʻi.
14 Sɛ ɛkɔsi sɛn ara, obiara bɛwu. Na sɛdeɛ nsuo hwie gu fam a wosesa a ɛnyɛ yie no, saa ara na nkwa teɛ. Ɛno enti na Onyankopɔn sane de yɛn ba ne nkyɛn ɛberɛ a yɛate yɛn ho afiri ne ho no. Wɔn a ɔhwɛ wɔn no, ɔmma wɔnnhwere wɔn kra; enti wo nso, ɛnsɛ sɛ woyɛ saa.
He kuo pau pe ke tau mate, pea tau hangē ko e vai kuo lilingi ki he kelekele, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tānaki hake; pea ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki ha tokotaha: ka neongo ia ʻoku ne fakakaukauʻi ʻae meʻa ke ʻoua naʻa kapusi meiate ia ʻaia kuo fakahēʻi.
15 “Na maba sɛ merebɛdi ama me babarima, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde owuo hunahuna me ne me ba no. Meka kyerɛɛ me ho sɛ, ‘Ebia, ɔhene bɛtie me,
Pea ko eni foki, kuo u haʻu au ke lea ʻi he meʻa ni ki he tuʻi ko hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi kuo fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he kakai: pea naʻe pehē ʻe hoʻo kaunanga, Ko eni te u lea ki he tuʻi; heiʻilo ʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kole ʻa ʻene kaunanga.
16 na wagye yɛn afiri wɔn a wɔbɛtwa yɛn afiri Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ho no nsam.’
Koeʻuhi ʻe fanongo ʻe he tuʻi, ke ne fakamoʻui ai ʻa ʻene kaunanga mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻoku fie fakaʻauha fakataha au mo hoku tama mei he tofiʻa ʻoe ʻOtua.
17 “Aane, ɔhene no bɛma yɛn asomdwoeɛ bio. ‘Menim sɛ wote sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ a wobɛtumi ahunu papa ne bɔne ntam nsonsonoeɛ. Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, nka wo ho.’”
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe hoʻo kaunanga, Ko e lea ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe hoko ni ko e fakafiemālie: he ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku hangē ia ko ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻae lelei mo e kovi: ko ia ʻe ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
18 Ɔhene bisaa sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ mehunu adeɛ baako.” Ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn, me wura?”
Pea naʻe toki pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fufū meiate au ʻae meʻa ʻaia te u fehuʻi ai ni kiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “Ke lea pe eni ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”
19 Na ɔhene no bisaa sɛ, “Yoab na ɔsomaa wo ha anaa?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Me wura, Daasebrɛ, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matwa yei ho atorɔ? Obiara ntumi mfa biribiara nhinta wo. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ Yoab na ɔsomaa me, na ɔkyerɛɛ me asɛm a menka.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo koe ʻae nima ʻo Soape ʻi he meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea naʻe lea ʻo pehēange ʻe he fefine, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, ʻe ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: he ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Soape, ko ia ne ne fekauʻi au, mo ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki he ngutu ʻo hoʻo kaunanga:
20 Ɔyɛɛ saa, sɛdeɛ mɛfa ɛkwan foforɔ so de saa asɛm yi ato wʼanim. Na wo nso, wonim nyansa te sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ, na biribiara a ɛsi yɛn ntam ha no nso, wote aseɛ.”
Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Soape koeʻuhi ke tupu ai ʻae lea pehē ni: pea ʻoku poto ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ʻo tatau mo e poto ʻo ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ke ʻilo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
21 Enti, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yoab baeɛ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, kɔ na kɔfa aberanteɛ Absalom bra.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Soape, “Vakai mai, kuo u fai ʻae meʻa ni: ko ia ke ke ʻalu ʻo toe ʻomi ʻae tangata talavou ko ʻApisalomi.”
22 Yoab hwee ɔhene no nan ase, hyiraa no sɛ, “Ne korakora mu no, woapene me so, na woayɛ mʼabisadeɛ ama me.”
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa Soape ki hono mata ki he kelekele, pea naʻa ne punou, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi ki he tuʻi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape, “Kuo ʻilo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki he ʻaho ni kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻa koe ko hoku ʻeiki, ʻe tuʻi, ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
23 Na Yoab kɔɔ Gesur kɔfaa Absalom baa Yerusalem.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Soape ʻo ne ʻalu ki Kesuli, pea ne ʻomi ʻa ʻApisalomi ki Selūsalema.
24 Nanso, ɔhene maa ahyɛdeɛ yi sɛ, “Absalom tumi kɔ ɔno ankasa ne fie, nanso ɔnhwɛ na wamma mʼanim ha.” Enti, Absalom anhunu ɔhene no.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Tuku ke ne ʻalu ki hono fale ʻoʻona, pea ʻoua siʻi naʻa ne sio mai ki hoku fofonga.” Ko ia naʻe tafoki ai ʻa ʻApisalomi ki hono fale ʻoʻona, pea naʻe ʻikai sio ia ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi.
25 Israel nyinaa, na obiara nni hɔ a ne ho yɛ fɛ, te sɛ Absalom. Ɛfiri ne tiri so kɔsi ne nan ase, na wohunu sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima ankasa.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ongoongolelei ʻene toulekeleka ke hangē ko ʻApisalomi: mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki he tumuʻaki ʻo hono ʻulu naʻe ʻikai siʻi ha mele ʻiate ia.
26 Afe biara, na ɔyi ne ti pɛnkorɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne nwi no yɛ adesoa ma no. Na sɛ ɔyi na ɔkari a, na ɛyɛ kilogram mmienu ne fa.
Pea ʻi heʻene kosi hono louʻulu, (he naʻa ne kosi ia ʻi he kuonga niʻihi: he naʻe mamafa ia kiate ia, pea ko ia naʻa ne kosi ai ia: ) naʻa ne fakamamafa ʻae louʻulu ʻo hono ʻulu ko e sikeli ʻe uangeau ʻo fakatatau mo e fakamamafa ʻae tuʻi.
27 Na ɔwɔ mmammarima baasa ne ɔbabaa baako. Na ne babaa no din de Tamar. Na Tamar nso kura ahoɔfɛ a ɛmma ɔka.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻApisalomi ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, mo e ʻofefine ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Tamaa: ko e fefine ia naʻe mata hoihoifua.
28 Absalom tenaa Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu a wanhunu ɔhene no da.
Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻApisalomi ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu kātoa ʻe ua, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne sio ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi.
29 Afei, Absalom soma kɔfrɛɛ Yoab sɛ ɔnkɔka bi mma no, nanso Yoab ankɔ. Absalom somaa ne mprenu so, nanso Yoab ankɔ.
Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻApisalomi kia Soape ke ne haʻu ʻo ʻalu ki he tuʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai fie haʻu ia kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene fekau ʻo liunga ua, naʻe ʻikai te ne haʻu.
30 Ɛno enti, Absalom ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ sɛ, “Monkɔ na momfa ogya nkɔto Yoab atokoɔ afuo a ɛbɛn me deɛ no ho mu.” Na wɔde ogya kɔtoo afuo no mu, sɛdeɛ Absalom hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngoue ʻa Soape ki hoku potu ʻoʻoku, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene paʻale; ʻalu ʻo tutu ia.” Pea naʻe tutu ʻae ngoue ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApisalomi.
31 Na Yoab baa Absalom nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasomfoɔ akɔto mʼafuo mu ogya?”
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Soape, ʻo ne haʻu ki he fale ʻo ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo tutu ai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻeku ngoue?
32 Na Absalom buaa no sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ wokɔbisa ɔhene ma me sɛ, adɛn enti na ɔmaa me sane firi Gesur baeɛ, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔhunu mʼanim koraa? Ɛnneɛ, sɛ anka metenaa me dada mu hɔ ara a, anka ɛyɛ. Ma menhunu ɔhene no, na sɛ medi fɔ wɔ biribi ho a, ɔtumi kum me.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi kia Soape, “Vakai, naʻaku fekau atu kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u fekau atu koe ki he tuʻi, ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo u haʻu ai mei Kesuli? ʻE lelei pe ʻo ka ne u kei ʻi ai ni:’ kae tuku eni ke u mamata ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi; pea kapau ʻoku ʻiate au ha meʻa hala, tuku ke ne tāmateʻi au.”
33 Enti, Yoab kaa asɛm a Absalom aka akyerɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene no. Afei, Dawid frɛɛ ne ba a wate ne ho no, ma ɔbaa nʼanim. Absalom bɛduruu ɔhene no anim no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase, na Dawid fee nʼano.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Soape ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne fakahā ki ai: pea hili ʻa ʻene ui kia ʻApisalomi naʻa ne haʻu ki he tuʻi, pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe ʻuma ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi.
