2 Samuel 19

1 Ankyɛre na nkra duruu Yoab nkyɛn sɛ ɔhene no resu, redi awerɛhoɔ wɔ Absalom ho.

Ọ dịghị anya ozi ruru Joab ntị sị, “Lee, eze na-akwa akwa, na-eru ụjụ nʼihi Absalọm.”

2 Ɛberɛ a akodɔm no tee ɔhene no awerɛhoɔ a ɔredi wɔ ne ba no ho no, nkonimdie mu anigyeɛ a na wɔwɔ mu saa da no danee awerɛhoɔ.

Mgbe ndị agha ya nụrụ na eze nọ nʼoke iru ụjụ nʼihi nwa ya, mmeri ha ghọọrọ ha ihu mgbarụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.

3 Wɔwiaa wɔn ho kɔɔ kuro no mu sɛdeɛ wɔn a wɔadi nkoguo de aniwuo dwane firi ɔko mu.

Ndị agha Devid niile zobatasịrị onwe ha nʼime obodo dịka a ga-asị na ha bụ ndị ihere na-eme dịka ndị e meriri nʼagha.

4 Ɔhene de ne nsa kataa nʼanim, kɔɔ so twaa adwo sɛ, “Ao, me ba Absalom! Ao, Absalom, me ba, me ba!”

Eze kpuchiri ihu ya nọgidekwa na-akwa akwa na-asị, “O, nwa m Absalọm! O! Absalọm nwa m, nwa m!”

5 Na Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene no dan mu kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ yɛagye wo, ne wo mmammarima, ne wo mmammaa, ne wo yerenom, ne wo mpenafoɔ nkwa. Nanso, woreyɛ yei de gu yɛn anim ase te sɛ deɛ yɛayɛ bɔne bi.

Emesịa, Joab jekwuuru eze nʼụlọ sị ya, “Anyị zọpụtara ndụ gị, na ndụ ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, na ndị nwunye gị, na ndị iko gị nwanyị taa, ma lee ka ị si emeso anyị. Ị na-eme ka ihere mee anyị, dịka a ga-asị na anyị mere ihe ọjọọ.

6 Wodɔ wʼatamfoɔ, na wotan wʼadɔfoɔ. Woada no adi ɛnnɛ sɛ, yɛnsɛ hwee mma wo. Sɛ Absalom te ase, na yɛn nyinaa awuwu a, anka wopɛ no saa.

Ị hụrụ ndị iro gị nʼanya, ma na-akpọ ndị hụrụ gị nʼanya asị. I meela ya ka ọ pụta ìhè taa na o nweghị ihe ndị ọchịagha gị na ndị agha gị bụ nʼanya gị. Ahụrụ m na ọ gaara abụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya gị ma a sịkwarị na Absalọm dị ndụ taa, ma anyị niile anwụọ.

7 Afei, firi kɔ seesei, na kɔma akodɔm no amo, na mebɔ Awurade din, ka ntam sɛ, sɛ woanyɛ saa a, wɔn mu baako koraa nka ha anadwo yi. Na ɛbɛma woagyigya asene kane no.”

Ugbu a, pụọ gaa kelee ndị agha gị. Eji m aha Onyenwe anyị na-aṅụ iyi na-asị na ọ bụrụ na ị pụghị nʼezi kelee ha, otu onye nʼime ha agaghị afọdụ nʼebe a mgbe chi taa jiri, mgbe ahụ ihe ga-ajọrọ gị njọ karịa ihe niile i jirila anya gị hụ na ndụ gị.”

8 Na ɔhene no firii adi kɔtenaa kuro no abɔntenpono no ano. Na asɛm no trɛɛ kuro no mu nyinaa sɛ ɔwɔ hɔ no, obiara kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na Israelfoɔ a wɔtaa Absalom akyi no nyinaa adwane kɔ wɔn afie mu.

Ya mere, eze biliri nọdụ ọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama. Mgbe ndị agha nụrụ na eze nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, ha niile pụtara guzo nʼihu ya. Ma nʼoge a, ndị Izrel niile agbalaala, onye ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.

9 Na Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu, na wɔredi abooboo, gye akyinnyeɛ. Na nnipa no reka sɛ, “Ɔhene no gyee yɛn firii atamfoɔ a wɔyɛ Filistifoɔ nsam, nanso Absalom taa no so, pamoo no firii ɔman no mu.

Nʼetiti ebo Izrel niile, ndị mmadụ nọ na-arụ ụka na-asị, “Eze napụtara anyị site nʼaka ndị iro anyị. Ọ bụ ya napụtara anyị site nʼaka ndị Filistia. Ma ugbu a, o sitela nʼala a gbapụ nʼihi Absalọm.”

10 Na seesei Absalom a yɛsraa no sɛ ɔmmɛdi yɛn so ɔhene no nso awu. Momma yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ Dawid na ɔnsane mmra mmɛdi yɛn so.”

Absalọm, onye anyị tere mmanụ ka ọ chịa anyị anwụọla nʼagha. Gịnị mere, unu a gaghị ekwu okwu i kpọghachite eze anyị?

11 Na ɔhene Dawid somaa asɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar, ma wɔkɔbisaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mo deɛ, mompɛ sɛ mode ɔhene ahennie bɛsane ama no? Na mate sɛ Israel nyinaa ayɛ krado, na mo nko ara na motwentwɛn mo nan ase.

Eze Devid zigaara Zadọk na Abịata, ndị nchụaja ozi a, “Jụọnụ ndị okenye Juda sị, ‘Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji bụrụ ndị ikpeazụ ime ka eze lọghachi nʼobi ya, ebe ọ bụ na ihe a na-ekwu nʼala Izrel niile eruola eze ntị nʼebe o bi?

12 Moyɛ mʼabusuafoɔ, mʼabusuakuo, mʼankasa me honam ne me mogya. Na ɛno enti, adɛn enti na motwa toɔ wɔ wɔn a wɔpene sɛ mɛsane aba no mu?”

Ụmụnne m ka unu bụ, ọkpụkpụ m na anụ ahụ m. Gịnị mere unu ga-eji bụrụ ndị ikpeazụ ga-akpọlata eze nʼụlọ ya?’

13 Dawid ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Amasa sɛ, “Sɛ woyɛ me wɔfaase yi, sɛ manyɛ wo ɔsahene ansi Yoab ananmu a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no nwononwono.”

Gwakwanụ Amasa sị ya, ‘Ọ bụ na ị bụghị ọkpụkpụ m na anụ ahụ m? Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na ị bụghị ọchịagha m malite taa nʼọnọdụ Joab.’”

14 Afei, Amasa korɔkorɔɔ Yuda ntuanofoɔ nyinaa, ma wɔtiee no sɛ nnipa korɔ. Wɔde saa asɛm yi kɔtoo ɔhene anim sɛ, “Wo ne wɔn a wɔne wo wɔ hɔ no nyinaa mmra yɛn nkyɛn.”

Amasa mere ka obi ndị okenye Juda rulata, dịka otu mmadụ. Ha zigara eze ozi, sị, “Lọghachikwute anyị, gị na ndị ohu gị niile.”

15 Na ɔhene no de nʼani kyerɛɛ Yerusalem. Ɔduruu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, Yudafoɔ bɛhyiaa no sɛ wɔde no retwa asuo no.

Mgbe ahụ, eze lọghachitere na Jọdan. Ndị ikom Juda bịarutere Gilgal izute eze, na ịkpọfeta ya Jọdan.

16 Gera a ɔyɛ Benyaminni a ɔfiri Bahurim babarima Simei ne Yuda mmarima yɛɛ ntɛm kɔhyiaa ɔhene Dawid.

Shimei, nwa Gera, onye Benjamin, nwoke ahụ sitere na Bahurim, mere ngwangwa soro ndị ikom Juda pụta izute eze Devid.

17 Ɔrekɔ no, na Benyaminfoɔ apem ka ne ho a, na Siba a na ɔyɛ Saulo fidua mu soodoni, ne ne mmammarima dunum ne nʼasomfoɔ aduonu ka ho. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm dii ɔhene no ɛkan kɔduruu Yordan hɔ.

Ya na puku ndị ikom Benjamin sokwa. Ziba, onyeozi Sọl, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom iri na ise, na iri ndị ozi abụọ ndị ozi ya, mekwara ngwangwa ịbịarute Jọdan tupu eze erute nʼebe ahụ.

18 Wɔtwa kɔɔ konkɔnoa kɔfaa ɔhene fiefoɔ de wɔn twaa asuo no, na wɔboaa wɔn wɔ ɛkwan biara a wɔbɛtumi so. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene no rebɛtwa asuo no, Gera babarima Simei kɔhwee nʼanim.

Ha gabigara mmiri nʼebe ọ dị nta ịkwọfe ndị ụlọeze nʼụgbọ mmiri, na ime ihe ọbụla dị mma nʼanya ya. Mgbe Shimei nwa Gera gafere Jọdan, ọ dara nʼala nʼihu eze,

19 Ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, “Me wura ɔhene, fa me bɔne kyɛ me. Nkae amumuyɛsɛm a meyɛeɛ ɛberɛ a wofirii Yerusalem.

nʼihi na mụ bụ ohu gị maara na m mehiere, ma taa abịara m dịka onye mbụ site nʼagbụrụ Josef, ịbịa zute onyenwe m, bụ eze.”

21 Na Seruia babarima Abisai kaa sɛ, “Simei sɛ owuo, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdomee deɛ Awurade asra no no.”

Abishai nwa Zeruaya jụrụ eze sị ya, “Ọ bụ na Shimei agaghị anwụ nʼihi ihe a? Nʼihi nkọcha ọ kọchara onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ bụ eze.”

22 Na Dawid bisaa sɛ, “Mo Seruia mma, ɛdeɛn na me ne mo wɔ yɛ? Ɛnnɛ nnyɛ da a wɔkum obi. Ɛyɛ anigyeɛ da! Masane abɛdi ɔhene wɔ Israel so bio!”

Ma Devid sịrị, “Gịnị jikọtara mụ na unu ụmụ ndị ikom Zeruaya, nke mere na taa unu aghọọla ndị na-emegide m? O kwesiri ka e gbuo onye ọbụla nʼala Izrel taa? Ọ bụ na m amaghị na taa, abụ m eze Izrel?”

23 Enti, ɔhene no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Simei sɛ, “Wɔrenkum wo.”

Ya mere eze gwara Shimei sị, “I gaghị anwụ. Eze jiri ịṅụ iyi kwee ya nkwa a.”

24 Mefiboset a ɔyɛ Saulo nana nso kɔhyiaa ɔhene no bi. Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔhene no kɔeɛ no, na ɔnnwaree ne nan ase, mmubuu ne hweneanonwi so, nsii ne ntadeɛ da, kɔsii sɛ ɔhene baa asomdwoeɛ mu no.

Mefiboshet, nwa nwa Sọl bịarukwara izute eze. Site nʼụbọchị eze hapụrụ Jerusalem, ọ sabeghị ụkwụ ya, ma uwe ya, ọ kpụghịkwa afụọnụ ya tutu ruo mgbe eze lọtara nʼudo.

25 Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Mefiboset, adɛn enti na wo ne me ankɔ?”

Mgbe o si Jerusalem pụta izute eze, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Mefiboshet, gịnị mere i soghị m gaa?”

26 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Nana, me ɔsomfoɔ Siba daadaa me. Meyɛ obubuafo enti, mekaa sɛ, ‘hyehyɛ mʼafunumu ma me, na mentena ne so, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi ne ɔhene akɔ.’

Ọ zara ya sị, “Onyenwe m, eze, agwara m Ziba ohu m ka o doziere m ịnyịnya ibu m, ka m soro eze, ma ebe m bụ onye ngwụrọ, ọ ghọgburu m.

29 Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasɛm aware? Mehyɛ mo sɛ, wo ne Siba nkyɛ nsase no mu.”

Eze sịrị ya, “Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ka na-ekwuru okwu? Enyela m gị na Ziba iwu ka unu kee ala ahụ nʼetiti onwe unu.”

30 Mefiboset ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Ɛdɔɔ me so sɛ me wura ɔhene asane aba efie dwoodwoo yi, ma Siba mfa biribiara.”

Mefiboshet sịrị eze, “Ka o were ihe niile ebe onyenwe m bụ eze lọghachiri nʼụlọ ya nʼudo.”

31 Gileadni Barsilai nso firi Rogelim baa sɛ ɔrebɛboa ama ɔhene atwa Yordan.

Bazilai onye Gilead sikwa na Rogelim bịa iso eze kwọfee osimiri Jọdan, na izilaga ya site nʼebe ahụ.

32 Na Barsilai abɔ akɔkoraa a wadi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe, na ɔyɛ ɔdefoɔ kɛseɛ. Ɔno na ɔmaa ɔhene biribi diiɛ ɛberɛ a na ɔte Mahanaim no.

Nʼoge a, Bazilai bụ agadi nwoke, onye gbara iri afọ asatọ. Ọ lekọtara eze mgbe eze nọ na Mahanaim, nʼihi na ọ bụ ọgaranya.

33 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Barsilai sɛ, “Wo ne me ntwa, na wo ne me nkɔtena Yerusalem, na mɛhwɛ wo.”

Eze gwara Bazilai sị ya, “Soro m gafee osimiri ka i soro m biri na Jerusalem. Aga m elekọtakwa gị.”

34 Nanso, Barsilai buaa ɔhene sɛ, “Aka me nna ahe a ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo kɔtena Yerusalem, Nana?

Ma Bazilai zara eze sị ya, “Afọ ole ka ọ fọdụrụ m ịdị ndụ m ga-eji soro eze gaa Jerusalem?

38 Ɔhene no gye too mu kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, Kimham ne me bɛkɔ, na deɛ anka mɛyɛ ama woɔ no, mɛyɛ ama no.”

Eze zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, Kimham ga-eso m gafee, aga m emekwara ya ihe ọma niile ị rịọrọ m.”

39 Enti, nnipa no nyinaa ne ɔhene no twaa Yordan. Ɔhene no yɛɛ Barsilai atuu, hyiraa no. Na Barsilai sane nʼakyi kɔɔ ne kurom.

Ya mere, ndị ahụ niile gabigara Jọdan, mgbe ahụ eze gabigakwara. Eze suturu Bazilai ọnụ, gọziekwa ya, Bazilai laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.

40 Ɔhene faa Kimham kaa ne ho kɔɔ Gilgal. Yuda akodɔm nyinaa ne Israel akodɔm no mu fa de ɔhene twaa asuo no.

Mgbe eze gabigara ruo Gilgal, Kimham sokwa ya gafee. Ndị agha Juda niile na otu ọkara ndị agha Izrel niile mere ka eze gabiga.

41 Nanso, Israel mmarima nyinaa bɛnwiinwii kyerɛɛ ɔhene sɛ, “Adɛn enti na yɛn nuanom Yuda mmarima awia wo kɔ, na wɔde Ɔhene ne ne fiefoɔ ne Dawid mmarima nyinaa a wɔka ne ho no akɔtwa Yordan aba?”

Ọ dịghị anya, ndị ikom Izrel niile nọ na-abịakwute eze na-asị ya, “Gịnị mere ụmụnna anyị, ndị ikom Juda, jiri zopu eze kpọfeta ya na ezinaụlọ na ndị ikom ya niile osimiri Jọdan?”

42 Yuda mmarima nyinaa buaa Israel mmarima no sɛ, “Yɛyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhene no yɛ yɛn busuani pɛɛ. Adɛn enti na mo bo afu saa asɛm yi ho? Yɛannye no hwee na ɔno nso amma yɛn aduane anaa akyɛdeɛ biara nso.”

Ma ndị ikom Juda zara ndị ikom Izrel, “Anyị mere nke a nʼihi na eze bụ onye metụtara ahụ anyị. Gịnị mere iwe ji ewe unu maka nke a? Anyị eriela ihe ọbụla site na nri eze? Ka anyị anarala ihe ọbụla dobere onwe anyị?”

43 Na Israel mmarima buaa Yuda mmarima no sɛ, “Yɛwɔ mmusuakuo edu wɔ Israel na ɛno enti yɛwɔ ɔhene no mu kyɛfa edu. Na adɛn enti na mobu yɛn abomfiaa? Ɛnyɛ yɛn na yɛdii ɛkan kaa sɛ, wɔmfa yɛn ɔhene nsane mmra?” Na Yuda mmarima no ano yɛɛ den sene Israel mmarima no.

Ma ndị ikom Izrel zara sị, “Anyị dị ebo iri nʼIzrel, nʼihi ya, anyị nwere oke iri nʼime Devid karịa unu. Gịnị mere unu ji lelịa anyị anya? Chetakwanụ na ọ bụ anyị bu ụzọ kwuo okwu maka nlọta ya ịbụ eze anyị ọzọ.” Ma ndị ikom Juda ejighị olu ọma nye ndị Izrel ọsịsa.
