1 Afei, Dawid yiyii asahene ne asafohene dii nʼakodɔm anim.
David loh amah taengkah pilnam te a soep tih amih te thawngkhat kah mangpa, yakhat kah mangpa a khueh pah.
2 Yoab na ɔtuaa wɔn mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako ano. Yoab nuabarima Abisai a na ɔyɛ Seruia babarima na ɔtuaa nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso ano. Ɛnna nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a aka no, Gatni Itai na ɔtuaa ano. Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm no sɛ, “Me ne mo na ɛrekɔ.”
David loh pilnam hlop thum ah hlop at te Joab kut hmuiah, hlop thum ah hlop at te Joab mana Zeruiah capa Abishai kut hmuiah, hlop thum ah hlop at Ghitti Ittai kut hmuiah hlop at, a tueih. Te vaengah manghai loh pilnam te, “Kamah khaw nangmih taengah ka pawk rhoe ka pawk bitni,” a ti nah.
3 Nanso, ne mmarima no tiaa mu dendeenden sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wokɔ bi. Na sɛ ɛba sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwae, na yɛdwane, na sɛ mpo, yɛn mu fa koraa wuwu a, ɛrennuru Absalom akodɔm no ho hwee. Wo ara na wɔbɛhwehwɛ. Wo nko ara yɛ yɛn mu ɔpedu enti, ɛyɛ sɛ wobɛtena kurom na sɛ mmoa bi ho hia yɛn a, wode bɛba.”
Tedae pilnam loh, “Cet boeh, rhaelrham khaw n'rhaelrham uh koinih mamih taengah lungbuei khueh hae mahpawh. Mamih khuikah he rhakthuem duek uh cakhaw mamih taengah lungbuei khueh uh mahpawh. Mamih bang mah thawng rha lo coeng. Te dongah khopuei lamloh a bom la nan bom ham te kaimih ham hnothen la om coeng,” a ti nah.
4 Ɔhene penee so sɛ, “Sɛ modwene sɛ ɛno ne adwene pa deɛ a, mate.” Enti, ɔkɔgyinaa kuro no ɛpono ano, ɛberɛ a akodɔm no rekɔ no.
Amih te manghai loh, “Nangmih mikhmuh ah a then te ka saii bitni,” a ti nah. Manghai te vongka kaep ah a pai vaengah pilnam boeih te yakhat ah, thawngkhat ah khong uh.
5 Na ɔhene no hyɛɛ Yoab, Abisai ne Itai sɛ, “Me enti mo ne abɔfra Absalom nni no bɔkɔɔ so.” Na akodɔm no nyinaa tee saa nhyɛ a ɔhene hyɛɛ nʼasafohene no.
Manghai loh Joab, Abishai, Ittai te a uen tih, “Camoe taeng neh Abslom taengah khaw, kai ham tah hoelh hoelh ah ne,” a ti nah. Manghai loh mangpa taengah Absalom kawng neh rhip a uen te pilnam loh boeih a yaak.
6 Enti, ɔko no hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Efraim kwaeɛ mu.
Te vaengah pilnam tah Israel te cuuk thil hamla lohma la khong uh. Te vaengah Ephraim duup ah caemtloek om coeng.
7 Na Dawid mmarima no yɛɛ Israel akodɔm no pasaa. Ɛyɛ akofena ano kum, na da no, mmarima ɔpeduonu na wɔhweree wɔn nkwa.
Israel pilnam he David sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pahoi yawk uh coeng. Te vaeng hnin ah thawng kul te lucik la muep om uh.
8 Ɔko no didi kɔɔ nkuro so, na ɛsiane kwaeɛ no enti, nnipa pii wuwuiɛ sene wɔn a wɔwuu wɔ akofena ano no.
Caemtloek te diklai hman tom ah taekyak la taekyak. Tekah khohnin ah cunghang loh a yoop lakah duup loh a yoop pilnam te yet ngai.
9 Ɔko no gyina mu no, Absalom puee prɛko pɛ wɔ Dawid mmarima no bi mu. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔdwane wɔ nʼafunumpɔnkɔ so, nanso ɔdwane kɔfaa dɔtɔ bi mu wɔ odum bi ase. Ɔdɔtɔ no kyekyeree ne tirinwi, ma ɔkaa mu. Nʼafunumpɔnkɔ no deɛ, na kɔ ara na ɔrekɔ enti, ɔgyaa no hɔ a, ɔsensɛn dɔtɔ no mu a ɔreto adonko wɔ ewiem.
Absalom loh David kah sal rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a mah. Te vaengah Absalom te muli-marhang dongah ngol tih muli-marhang loh rhokael bu talulh hmuiah a kun puei. Tedae a lu te rhokael dongah vik kingkaek tih vaan laklo neh diklai laklo ah sut dingkoei. Te vaengah ah a hmuikah muli-marhang loh vik a yong tak.
10 Dawid mmarima no baako hunuu asɛm a asi no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Mehunuu Absalom sɛ ɔsensɛn dua bi so wɔ dɔtɔ mu.”
Hlang pakhat loh a hmuh vaengah Joab taengah puen tih, “Absalom tah rhokael dongah a kuiok ka hmuh he,” a ti nah.
11 Yoab bisaa sɛ, “Asɛm pa ara? Wohunuu no na woanku no? Anka mɛma wo dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunan ne akokoɔduru abɔwomu sɛ akradeɛ.”
Te dongah Joab loh amah taengla aka puen hlang te, “Na hmuh tarha mai, balae tih anih te diklai la na ngawn pahoi pawh, te koinih ka pum dongkah tangka phikrha neh hni pakhat he nang kam paek suidae,” a ti nah.
12 Ɔbarima no buaa sɛ, “Sɛ anka wobɛma me dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa koraa a, anka merenyɛ saa. Yɛn nyinaa tee sɛ, ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wo, Abisai ne Itai sɛ, ‘Me enti, obiara nnyɛ aberanteɛ Absalom bɔne.’
Te hlang loh Joab taengah, “Kai loh ka kut dongah tangka thawngkhat ka thuek pawt mai akhaw, manghai loh mamih hna ah namah khaw, Abishai neh Ittai taengah ah khaw, 'Absalom camoe te ngaithuen uh,’ a ti tih ng'uen dongah manghai capa te ka kut ka hlah thil mahpawh.
13 Na sɛ mebu ɔhene asɛm so kum ne babarima a, anka deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, ɔhene bɛhwehwɛ deɛ ɔyɛɛ saa. Na anka wʼankasa ne onipa a anka wobɛyi me ama.”
A hinglu te ka saii pah koinih ka hinglu he a honghi ni. Te dongah manghai taengah tah olka pakhat khaw phah mahpawh, namah khaw a hmaiah na pai van ni,” a ti nah.
14 Yoab kaa sɛ, “Saa nkwaseasɛm yi ayɛ yie.” Enti, ɔtwee mpɛmɛ mmiɛnsa de wowɔɔ Absalom akoma mu ɛberɛ a na ɔsensɛn odum no so a na ɔnwuiɛ no.
Tedae Joab loh, “Na mikhmuh ah ka rhing voel mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a kut dongah mancai pathum te a khuen tih rhokael bangli ah a hing la aka bat Absalom te a lungkoe ah hlut a daeng.
15 Yoab akodeɛkurafoɔ no mu mmeranteɛ edu twaa Absalom ho hyiaeɛ, na wɔkumm no.
Joab kah hnopai aka phuei cadong parha loh a vael tih Absalom te a ngawn uh dongah a duek sakuh.
16 Na Yoab hyɛnee totorobɛnto, maa akodɔm no gyaee Israel so taa.
Te phoeiah Joab loh tuki a ueng thil tih pilnam te Joab loh a hloh coeng dongah pilnam loh Israel hnuk aka hloem te a toeng.
17 Wɔfaa Absalom amu no to twenee amena donkudonku bi mu wɔ kwaeɛ mu hɔ, na wɔsoaa abotan guu ne so. Na Israelfoɔ no nyinaa dwane kɔɔ wɔn afie.
Absalom te a loh uh tih duup kah rhom a len khuiah a voeih uh. Te phoeiah anih te lungkuk lung a len la muep a hmoek thil uh. Israel pum te khaw amah, amah kah dap la boeih rhaelrham uh.
18 Ɛberɛ a Absalom te ase no, ɔsii nkaeɛdum bi wɔ ɔhene bɔnhwa mu de kaee ɔno ara ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwenee sɛ, “Menni ɔbabarima biara a ɔbɛyɛ nkaedeɛ biara de akae me din.” Ɔde nkaeɛdum no too ne ho, na wɔfrɛ no Absalom Nkaeɛdum de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Absalom loh, “Ka ming aka thoelh ham ca ka khueh pawh,” a ti dongah amah a hing vaengah amah ham lungpang pakhat te manghai kol ah a thoh. Te dongah lungpang te anih ming a phom thil tih tihnin duela Absalom ngolbuel a khue.
19 Na Sadok babarima Ahimaas kaa sɛ, “Momma mentu mmirika nkɔbɔ ɔhene amaneɛ sɛ, Awurade ayi no afiri atamfoɔ nsam.”
Te vaengah Zadok capa Ahimaaz loh, “BOEIPA loh a thunkha kut lamloh anih a tang sak te ka yong laeh vetih manghai taengah ka phong laeh mako,” a ti.
20 Na Yoab nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔhene ba awu a, ɛnyɛ asɛm papa mma no. Wobɛtumi akɔbɔ saa amaneɛ no ɛda foforɔ bi, na ɛnyɛ ɛnnɛ.”
Tedae anih te Joab loh, “Tihnin nang he olthangthen aka khuen hlang moenih, a tloe khohnin ah na phong bitni, tihnin ah phong boel dae manghai capa he duek pueng,” a ti nah.
21 Na Yoab ka kyerɛɛ Kusni bi sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔka deɛ woahunu no kyerɛ ɔhene.” Ɛhɔ ara na Kusni no bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Yoab anim, na ɔtuu mmirika kɔeɛ.
Te phoeiah Joab loh Kushi te, “Na hmuh taengtae te cet lamtah manghai taengah thui pah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Kushi loh Joab te a bawk tih yong.
22 Bio, Sadok babarima Ahimaas ka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Deɛ ɛbɛba biara mmra, ma me ne Kusni no nkɔ.” Nanso, Yoab bisaa no sɛ, “Me ba, adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ? Wonni amanneɛbɔ biara a ɛbɛma wo abasobɔdeɛ biara.”
Zadok capa Ahimaaz loh koep a rhaep tih Joab taengah, “Metlam khaw om mai saeh, Kushi hnukah ka yong van mai eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae Joab loh, “Ka ca na yong te ba ham lae? Olthangthen te na dang hae moenih,” a ti nah.
23 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mepene so, nanso ma menkɔ.” Enti Yoab ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ!” Na Ahimaas faa tata no so kɔeɛ, kɔsianee Kusni no ho.
Tedae, “Metlam khaw om mai saeh ka yong ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Yong laeh,” a ti nah. Ahimaaz tah vannaem longpuei ah yong tih Kushi te a khal coeng.
24 Ɛberɛ a Dawid te kuro no ɛpono ano no, ne wɛmfoɔ no kɔɔ kuro no ɛpono no atifi wɔ ɔfasuo no so. Ɔtoo nʼani no, ɔhunuu sɛ obi de mmirika reba.
