2 Samuel 16
1 Nígbà tí Dafidi sì fi díẹ̀ kọjá orí òkè náà, sì wò ó, Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ Mefiboṣeti sì ń bọ̀ wá pàdé rẹ̀, òun àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ méjì tí a ti dì ní gàárì, àti igba ìṣù àkàrà lórí wọn, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún síírí àjàrà gbígbẹ, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún èso ẹ̀rún, àti ìgò ọtí wáìnì kan.
And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 Ọba sì wí fún Ṣiba pé, “Kí ni wọ̀nyí?” Ṣiba sì wí pé, “Kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọ̀nyí ni fún àwọn ará ilé ọba láti máa gùn àti àkàrà yìí, àti èso ẹ̀rún yìí ni fún àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdékùnrin láti jẹ; àti ọtí wáìnì yìí ni fún àwọn aláàárẹ̀ ní ijù láti mu.”
And the king said to Ziba, What mean you by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 Ọba sì wí pé, “Ọmọ olúwa rẹ dà?” Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Wò ó, ó jókòó ní Jerusalẹmu; nítorí tí ó wí pé, ‘Lónìí ni ìdílé Israẹli yóò mú ìjọba baba mi padà wá fún mi.’”
And the king said, And where is your master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he stays at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Ọba sì wí fún Ṣiba pé, “Wò ó, gbogbo nǹkan tí í ṣe ti Mefiboṣeti jẹ́ tìrẹ.” Ṣiba sì wí pé, “Mo túúbá, jẹ́ kí n rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ lójú rẹ, olúwa mi ọba.”
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, your are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech you that I may find grace in your sight, my lord, O king.
5 Dafidi ọba sì dé Bahurimu, sì wò ó, ọkùnrin kan ti ibẹ̀ jáde wá, láti ìdílé Saulu wá, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Ṣimei, ọmọ Gera, ó sì ń bú èébú bí o tí ń bọ̀.
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6 Ó sì sọ òkúta sí Dafidi, àti sí gbogbo ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi ọba, àti sí gbogbo ènìyàn, gbogbo àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin sì wà lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ àti lọ́wọ́ òsì rẹ̀.
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Báyìí ni Ṣimei sì wí nígbà tí ó ń yọ èébú, “Jáde, ìwọ ọkùnrin ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ ọkùnrin Beliali.
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man, and you man of Belial:
8 Olúwa mú gbogbo ẹ̀jẹ̀ ìdílé Saulu padà wá sí orí rẹ, ní ipò ẹni tí ìwọ jẹ ọba; Olúwa ti fi ìjọba náà lé Absalomu ọmọ rẹ lọ́wọ́: sì wò ó, ìwà búburú rẹ ni ó mú èyí wá bá ọ, nítorí pé ọkùnrin ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni ìwọ.”
The LORD has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.
9 Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èéṣe tí òkú ajá yìí fi ń bú olúwa mi ọba? Jẹ́ kí èmi kọjá, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, kí èmi sì bẹ́ ẹ́ lórí.”
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray you, and take off his head.
10 Ọba sì wí pé, “Kín ni èmi ní ṣe pẹ̀lú yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Seruiah? Bí ó bá ń bú èébú, nítorí tí Olúwa ti wí fún un pé, ‘Bú Dafidi!’ Ta ni yóò sì wí pé, ‘Kín ni ìdí tí o fi ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.’”
And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why have you done so?
11 Dafidi sì wí fún Abiṣai, àti fún gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, ọmọ mi tí ó ti inú mi wá, ń wá mi kiri, ǹjẹ́ mélòó mélòó ni ará Benjamini yìí yóò sì ṣe? Fi í sílẹ̀, sì jẹ́ kí o máa yan èébú; nítorí pé Olúwa ni ó sọ fún un.
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.
12 Bóyá Ọlọ́run yóò wo ìpọ́njú mi, Olúwa yóò sì fi ìre san án fún mi ní ipò èébú rẹ̀ lónìí.”
It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13 Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń lọ ní ọ̀nà, Ṣimei sì ń rìn òdìkejì òkè tí ó wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ń yan èébú bí ó ti ń lọ, ó sì ń sọ ọ́ lókùúta, ó sì ń fọ́n erùpẹ̀.
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 Ọba, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì dé Jordani, ó sì rẹ̀ wọ́n, wọ́n sì sinmi níbẹ̀.
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Absalomu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu, Ahitofeli sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Huṣai ará Arki, ọ̀rẹ́ Dafidi tọ Absalomu wá, Huṣai sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Kí ọba ó pẹ́! Kí ọba ó pẹ́.”
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17 Absalomu sì wí fún Huṣai pé, “Oore rẹ sí ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ ni èyí? Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò bá ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ lọ?”
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not with your friend?
18 Huṣai sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ nítorí ẹni tí Olúwa, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn yìí, àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli bá yàn, tirẹ̀ lèmi ó jẹ́, òun lèmi ó sì bá jókòó.
And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 Àti pé, ta ni èmi ó sì sìn? Kò ha yẹ kí èmi ó máa sìn níwájú ọmọ rẹ̀? Gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti ń sìn rí níwájú baba rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ó sìn níwájú rẹ.”
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.
20 Absalomu sì wí fún Ahitofeli pé, “Ẹ bá ará yín gbìmọ̀ ohun tí àwa ó ṣe.”
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 Ahitofeli sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Wọlé tọ àwọn obìnrin baba rẹ lọ, tí ó fi sílẹ̀ láti máa ṣọ́ ilé, gbogbo Israẹli yóò sì gbọ́ pé, ìwọ di ẹni ìríra sí baba rẹ, ọwọ́ gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ yóò sì le.”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father’s concubines, which he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that you are abhorred of your father: then shall the hands of all that are with you be strong.
22 Wọ́n sì tẹ́ àgọ́ kan fún Absalomu ní òrùlé; Absalomu sì wọlé tọ àwọn obìnrin baba rẹ̀ lójú gbogbo Israẹli.
So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli tí ó máa ń gbà ni ìgbà náà, ó dàbí ẹni pé ènìyàn béèrè nǹkan lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli fún Dafidi àti fún Absalomu sì rí.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counceled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
