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, David, had passed on but a little from the summit, when lo! Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, met him, —with a couple of asses saddled, and, upon them, two hundred cakes of bread, and one hundred cakes of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a skin 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 unto Ziba, What meanest thou, by these? And Ziba said—The asses, are for the king’s household, to ride on, and, the bread and the summer fruits, are for the young men to eat, and, the wine, is for drink to such as are faint in the wilderness.
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 said the king, And where is thy lord’s son? And Ziba said unto the king—Lo! abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day, will the house of Israel, restore unto 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 unto Ziba, Lo! thine, is all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said—I have done homage, that I might find favour in thine eyes, 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 had come as far as Bahurim, lo! from thence a man coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, whose name, was Shimei son of Gera, coming out and cursing 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 pelted, with stones, David and all the servants of King David, —all the people, and all the mighty men, being 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, —Out! Out! thou man of bloodshed, and man of the Abandoned One!
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.”
Yahweh, hath brought back upon thee, all the shed-blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Yahweh hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy son, —and, here thou art, in thy ruin, for that, a man of bloodshed, thou art.
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, son of Zeruiah, unto the king—Wherefore should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I pray thee, let me cross 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.’”
But the king said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? thus, he curseth, because, Yahweh, hath said unto him—Curse David. Who then can say, Why hast thou done thus?
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 said David unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, Lo! my own son who sprang from my body, is seeking my life, —then how much more, now, a Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse, for, Yahweh, hath permitted 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 Yahweh will behold with his eye, —and that Yahweh will return 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, when David and his men went along in the way, Shimei, was going along on the side of the hill over against him, cursing as he went, pelting him with stones, and throwing 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 arrived, weary, —and they refreshed themselves there.
15 Absalomu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu, Ahitofeli sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered 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, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: 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?”
Then said Absolom unto Hushai, Is, this, thy lovingkindness unto thy friend? Wherefore wentest thou not with thy 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 unto Absolom, Nay! but, whom Yahweh, and all this people, and the men of Israel have chosen, his, will I be, and, with him, will I dwell.
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 it not be in presence of his son? as I served in presence of thy father, so, will I continue thy presence.
20 Absalomu sì wí fún Ahitofeli pé, “Ẹ bá ará yín gbìmọ̀ ohun tí àwa ó ṣe.”
Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel, —Give ye your counsel, 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 unto Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house, —so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.
22 Wọ́n sì tẹ́ àgọ́ kan fún Absalomu ní òrùlé; Absalomu sì wọlé tọ àwọn obìnrin baba rẹ̀ lójú gbogbo Israẹli.
And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house-top, —and Absolom went in unto 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.
Now, the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God, —so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
