2 Samuel 15
1 Lẹ́yìn èyí náà, Absalomu sì pèsè kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin fún ara rẹ̀, àti àádọ́ta ọmọkùnrin tí yóò máa sáré níwájú rẹ̀.
And it comes to pass afterward that Absalom prepares a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men are running before him;
2 Absalomu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù, ó sì dúró ní apá kan ọ̀nà ẹnu ibodè. Bí ẹnìkan bá ní ẹjọ́ tí ó ń fẹ́ mú tọ ọba wá fún ìdájọ́, a sì pè é sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, a sì bi í pé, “Ará ìlú wo ni ìwọ?” Òun a sì dáhùn pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti inú ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli wá.”
and Absalom has risen early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate, and it comes to pass, every man who has a pleading to come to the king for judgment, that Absalom calls to him and says, “Of what city [are] you?” And he says, “Your servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 Absalomu yóò sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀ràn rẹ ṣá dára, ó sì tọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ọba fi àṣẹ fún láti gbọ́ ọ̀ràn rẹ.”
And Absalom says to him, “See, your matters [are] good and straightforward—and there is none listening to you from the king.”
4 Absalomu a sì wí pé, “À bá jẹ́ fi mi ṣe onídàájọ́ ní ilẹ̀ yìí! Kí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó ní ẹjọ́ tàbí ọ̀ràn kan bá à lè máa tọ̀ mí wá, èmi ìbá sì ṣe ìdájọ́ òtítọ́ fún un.”
And Absalom says, “Who makes me judge in the land, that every man who has a plea and judgment comes to me? Then I have declared him righteous.”
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni bí ẹnìkan bá sì súnmọ́ láti tẹríba fún un, òun a sì nawọ́ rẹ̀, a sì dìímú, a sì fi ẹnu kò ó lẹ́nu.
And it has come to pass, in the drawing near of anyone to bow himself to him, that he has put forth his hand, and laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him;
6 Irú ìwà báyìí ni Absalomu a máa hù sí gbogbo Israẹli tí ó tọ́ ọba wá nítorí ìdájọ́, Absalomu sì fi fa ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
and Absalom does according to this thing to all Israel who come in for judgment to the king, and Absalom steals the heart of the men of Israel.
7 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ogójì ọdún, Absalomu sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èmi bẹ́ ọ́, jẹ́ kí èmi ó lọ, kí èmi sì san ìlérí mi tí èmi ti ṣe fún Olúwa, ní Hebroni.
And it comes to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absalom says to the king, “Please let me go, and I complete my vow that I vowed to YHWH in Hebron,
8 Nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ kan nígbà tí èmi ń bẹ ní Geṣuri ní Siria pé, ‘Bí Olúwa bá mú mi padà wá sí Jerusalẹmu, nítòótọ́, èmi ó sì sin Olúwa.’”
for your servant has vowed a vow in my dwelling in Geshur, in Aram, saying, If YHWH certainly brings me back to Jerusalem, then I have served YHWH.”
9 Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.” Ó sì dìde, ó sì lọ sí Hebroni.
And the king says to him, “Go in peace”; and he rises and goes to Hebron,
10 Ṣùgbọ́n Absalomu rán àmì sáàrín gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ ìró ìpè, kí ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, ‘Absalomu jẹ ọba ní Hebroni.’”
and Absalom sends spies through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “At your hearing the voice of the horn, then you have said, Absalom has reigned in Hebron.”
11 Igba ọkùnrin sì bá Absalomu ti Jerusalẹmu jáde, nínú àwọn tí a ti pè; wọ́n sì lọ nínú àìmọ̀kan wọn, wọn kò sì mọ nǹkan kan.
And two hundred men have gone with Absalom out of Jerusalem, invited ones, and they are going in their simplicity, and have not known anything;
12 Absalomu sì ránṣẹ́ pe Ahitofeli ará Giloni, ìgbìmọ̀ Dafidi, láti ìlú rẹ̀ wá, àní láti Giloni, nígbà tí ó ń rú ẹbọ. Ìdìmọ̀lù náà sì le; àwọn ènìyàn sì ń pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ Absalomu.
and Absalom sends Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, out of his city, out of Gilo, in his sacrificing sacrifices; and the conspiracy is strong, and the people are going and increasing with Absalom.
13 Ẹnìkan sì wá rò fún Dafidi pé, “Ọkàn àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli ṣí sí Absalomu.”
And he who is declaring tidings comes to David, saying, “The heart of the men of Israel has been after Absalom.”
14 Dafidi sì wí fún gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó wá lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni Jerusalẹmu pé, “Ẹ dìde! Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sálọ, nítorí pé kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà wá lọ́wọ́ Absalomu; ẹ yára, kí a lọ kúrò, kí òun má bá à yára lé wa bá, kí ó má sì mú ibi bá wa, kí ó má sì fi ojú idà pa ìlú run.”
And David says to all his servants who [are] with him in Jerusalem, “Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the face of Absalom; hurry to go, lest he hurries, and has overtaken us, and forced evil on us, and struck the city by the mouth of the sword.”
15 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí olúwa wa ọba ń fẹ́, wò ó, àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ti murá.”
And the servants of the king say to the king, “According to all that my lord the king chooses—behold, your servants do.”
16 Ọba sì jáde, gbogbo ilé rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé e. Ọba sì fì mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn obìnrin rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láti máa ṣọ́ ilé.
And the king goes out, and all his household at his feet, and the king leaves ten women—concubines—to keep the house.
17 Ọba sì jáde, gbogbo ènìyàn sì tẹ̀lé e, wọ́n sì dúró ní ibìkan tí ó jìnnà.
And the king goes out, and all the people at his feet, and they stand still at the farthest off house.
18 Gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì kọjá sí iwájú rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn Kereti, àti gbogbo àwọn Peleti, àti gbogbo àwọn ará Gitti, ẹgbẹ̀ta ọmọkùnrin tí ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn láti Gati wá, sì kọjá níwájú ọba.
And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on at the front of the king.
19 Ọba sì wí fún Ittai ará Gitti pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bá wa lọ pẹ̀lú, padà, kí o sì ba ọba jókòó; nítorí pé àlejò ni ìwọ, ìwọ sì ti fi ìlú rẹ sílẹ̀.
And the king says to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you go—you also—with us? Return and abide with the king, for you [are] a stranger, and also an exile, you—to your place.
20 Lánàá yìí ni ìwọ dé, èmi ó ha sì mú kí ìwọ máa bá wá lọ káàkiri lónìí bí? Èmi ń lọ sí ibikíbi tí mo bá rí: padà, kí o sì mú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ padà, kí àánú àti òtítọ́ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
Your coming in [was only] yesterday, and should I move you to go with us today, since I am going over [to] where [I do not know where] I am going? Return, and take your brothers back. Kindness and truth [be] with you.”
21 Ittai sì dá ọba lóhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa tí ń bẹ láààyè, àti bí olúwa mi ọba ti ń bẹ láààyè, nítòótọ́ níbikíbi tí olúwa mi ọba bá gbé wà, ìbá à ṣe nínú ikú, tàbí nínú ìyè, níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò gbé wà.”
And Ittai answers the king and says, “YHWH lives, and my lord the king lives, surely in the place where my lord the king is—if for death, if for life, surely your servant is there.”
22 Dafidi sì wí fún Ittai pé, “Lọ kí o sì rékọjá!” Ittai ará Gitti náà sì rékọjá, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ kéékèèké tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
And David says to Ittai, “Go and pass over”; and Ittai the Gittite passes over, and all his men, and all the infants who [are] with him.
23 Gbogbo ìlú náà sì fi ohùn rara sọkún, gbogbo ènìyàn sì rékọjá; ọba sì rékọjá àfonífojì Kidironi, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì rékọjá, sí ìhà ọ̀nà ijù.
And all the land is weeping [with] a great voice, and all the people are passing over; and the king is passing over through the Brook of Kidron, and all the people are passing over on the front of the way of the wilderness;
24 Sì wò ó, Sadoku pẹ̀lú àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí ń ru àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run náà sọ̀kalẹ̀; Abiatari sí gòkè, títí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì fi dẹ́kun àti máa kọjá láti ìlú wá.
and behold, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, are carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God, and they make the Ark of God firm, and Abiathar goes up, until the completion of all the people to pass over out of the city.
25 Ọba sì wí fún Sadoku pé, “Sì tún gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run náà padà sí ìlú, bí èmi bá rí ojúrere gbà lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, yóò sì tún mú mi padà wá, yóò sì fi àpótí ẹ̀rí náà hàn mí àti ibùgbé rẹ̀.
And the king says to Zadok, “Take back the Ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of YHWH, then He has brought me back, and shown me it and His habitation;
26 Ṣùgbọ́n bí òun bá sì wí pé, ‘Èmi kò ní inú dídùn sí ọ,’ wò ó, èmi nìyìí, jẹ́ kí òun ó ṣe sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ ní ojú rẹ̀.”
and if thus He says, I have not delighted in you; here I [am], He does to me as [is] good in His eyes.”
27 Ọba sì wí fún Sadoku àlùfáà pé, “Aríran ha kọ́ ni ọ́? Padà sí ìlú ní àlàáfíà, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ méjèèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ, Ahimasi ọmọ rẹ, àti Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari.
And the king says to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;
28 Wò ó, èmi ó dúró ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ijù náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ ó fi ti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá láti sọ fún mi.”
see, I am lingering in the plains of the wilderness until the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.”
29 Sadoku àti Abiatari sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run padà sí Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì gbé ibẹ̀.
And Zadok takes back—and Abiathar—the Ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.
30 Dafidi sì ń gòkè lọ ní òkè igi olifi, o sì ń sọkún bí ó ti ń gòkè lọ, ó sì bo orí rẹ̀, ó ń lọ láìní bàtà ní ẹsẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn tí o wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin sì bo orí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń gòkè lọ, wọ́n ń sọkún bí wọ́n ti ń gòkè lọ.
And David is going up in the ascent of the [Mount of] Olives, going up and weeping, and he has the head covered, and he is going barefooted, and all the people who [are] with him have each covered his head, and have gone up, going up and weeping;
31 Ẹnìkan sì sọ fún Dafidi pé, “Ahitofeli wà nínú àwọn aṣọ̀tẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Absalomu.” Dafidi sì wí pé, “Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, sọ ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli di asán.”
and David declared, saying, “Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom”; and David says, “Please make the counsel of Ahithophel foolish, O YHWH.”
32 Ó sì ṣe, Dafidi dé orí òkè, níbi tí ó gbé wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run, sì wò ó, Huṣai ará Arki sì wá láti pàdé rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú aṣọ rẹ̀ yíya, àti erùpẹ̀, lórí rẹ̀.
And it comes to pass, David has come to the top, where he bows himself to God, and behold, Hushai the Archite [is there] to meet him, [with] his coat torn, and earth on his head;
33 Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ìwọ bá bá mi kọjá, ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ ìdíwọ́ fún mi.
and David says to him, “If you have passed on with me then you have been for a burden on me,
34 Bí ìwọ bá sì padà sí ìlú, tí o sì wí fún Absalomu pé, ‘Èmi ó ṣe ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ọba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ baba rẹ nígbà àtijọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ó sì jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nísinsin yìí,’ kí ìwọ sì bá ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli jẹ́.
and if you return to the city and have said to Absalom, I am your servant, O king; I [am] also servant of your father until now, and presently, I [am] also your servant; then you have made void the counsel of Ahithophel for me;
35 Ṣé Sadoku àti Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀? Yóò sì ṣe, ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá gbọ́ láti ilé ọba wá, ìwọ ó sì sọ fún Sadoku àti Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà.
and are Zadok and Abiathar the priests not with you there? And it has been, the whole of the matter that you hear from the house of the king you declare to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
36 Wò ó, àwọn ọmọ wọn méjèèjì sì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn, Ahimasi ọmọ Sadoku, àti Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari; láti ọwọ́ wọn ni ẹ̀yin ó sì rán ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ sí mi.”
Behold, their two sons [are] there with them: Ahimaaz to Zadok, and Jonathan to Abiathar, and you have sent to me by their hand anything that you hear.”
37 Huṣai ọ̀rẹ́ Dafidi sì wá sí ìlú, Absalomu sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
And Hushai, David’s friend, comes to the city, and Absalom comes to Jerusalem.
