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.
Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container 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, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."
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.’”
Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to 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 the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the 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 reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.
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 threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at his left.
7 Báyìí ni Ṣimei sì wí nígbà tí ó ń yọ èébú, “Jáde, ìwọ ọkùnrin ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ ọkùnrin Beliali.
And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.
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.”
Jehovah has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."
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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over 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.’”
The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Jehovah has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall 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.
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for Jehovah has told him to.
12 Bóyá Ọlọ́run yóò wo ìpọ́njú mi, Olúwa yóò sì fi ìre san án fún mi ní ipò èébú rẹ̀ lónìí.”
Perhaps Jehovah will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing today."
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.
So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.
14 Ọba, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì dé Jordani, ó sì rẹ̀ wọ́n, wọ́n sì sinmi níbẹ̀.
Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.
15 Absalomu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu, Ahitofeli sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was 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 about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king. Long live the king."
17 Absalomu sì wí fún Huṣai pé, “Oore rẹ sí ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ ni èyí? Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò bá ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ lọ?”
So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go 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.
Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom Jehovah and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.
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.”
Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I 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 Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we 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.”
Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."
22 Wọ́n sì tẹ́ àgọ́ kan fún Absalomu ní òrùlé; Absalomu sì wọlé tọ àwọn obìnrin baba rẹ̀ lójú gbogbo Israẹli.
So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives 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.
Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
