2 Samuel 17
1 Ahitofeli sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Èmi ó yan ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ọkùnrin èmi ó sì dìde, èmi ó sì lépa Dafidi lóru yìí.
Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:
2 Èmi ó sì yọ sí i nígbà tí àárẹ̀ bá mú un tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ṣe aláìle, èmi ó sì dá a ní ìjì, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì sá, èmi ó sì kọlu ọba nìkan ṣoṣo.
And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:
3 Èmi ó sì mú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ bi ìgbà tí ìyàwó bá padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkọ rẹ̀. Ọkàn ẹnìkan ṣoṣo tí ìwọ ń wá yìí ni ó túmọ̀ sí ìpadàbọ̀ gbogbo wọn; gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì wà ní àlàáfíà.”
And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.
4 Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì tọ́ lójú Absalomu, àti lójú gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli.
And the saying was pleasing to Absalom and to the responsible men of Israel.
5 Absalomu sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ pe Huṣai ará Arki, àwa ó sì gbọ́ èyí tí ó wà lẹ́nu rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.”
Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.
6 Huṣai sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Absalomu, Absalomu sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Ahitofeli wí, kí àwa ṣe bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bí? Bí ko bá sì tọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, ìwọ wí.”
And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?
7 Huṣai sì wí fún Absalomu pé, “Ìmọ̀ tí Ahitofeli gbà yìí, kò dára nísinsin yìí.”
And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.
8 Huṣai sì wí pé, “Ìwọ mọ baba rẹ àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé alágbára ni wọ́n, wọ́n sì wà ní kíkorò ọkàn bí àmọ̀tẹ́kùn tí a gbà ní ọmọ ni pápá, baba rẹ sì jẹ́ jagunjagun ọkùnrin kì yóò bá àwọn ènìyàn náà gbé pọ̀ lóru.
Hushai said further, You have knowledge of your father and his men, that they are men of war, and that their feelings are bitter, like those of a bear in the field whose young ones have been taken from her: and your father is a man of war, and will not take his night's rest with the people;
9 Kíyèsi i, ó ti fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ nísinsin yìí ni ihò kan, tàbí ní ibòmíràn: yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí díẹ̀ nínú wọn bá kọ́ ṣubú, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbọ́ yóò sì wí pé, ‘Ìparun sì ń bẹ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn tí ń tọ Absalomu lẹ́yìn.’
But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.
10 Ẹni tí ó sì ṣe alágbára, tí ọkàn rẹ̀ sì dàbí ọkàn kìnnìún, yóò sì rẹ̀ ẹ́: nítorí gbogbo Israẹli ti mọ̀ pé alágbára ni baba rẹ, àti pé, àwọn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ jẹ́ alágbára.
Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.
11 “Nítorí náà èmi dámọ̀ràn pé, kí gbogbo Israẹli wọ́jọ pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iyanrìn létí òkun fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀; àti pé, kí ìwọ tìkára rẹ̀ ó lọ sí ogun náà.
But my suggestion is that all Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, comes together to you, a great army like the sands of the sea in number; and that you yourself go out among them.
12 Àwa ó sì yọ sí i níbikíbi tí àwa o gbé rí i, àwa ó sì yí i ká bí ìrì ti ń ṣẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ àní, ọkàn kan kì yóò kù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.
13 Bí o bá sì bọ́ sí ìlú kan, gbogbo Israẹli yóò mú okùn wá sí ìlú náà, àwa ó sì fà á lọ sí odò, títí a kì yóò fi rí òkúta kéékèèké kan níbẹ̀.”
And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.
14 Absalomu àti gbogbo ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wí pé, “Ìmọ̀ Huṣai ará Arki sàn ju ìmọ̀ Ahitofeli lọ! Nítorí Olúwa fẹ́ láti yí ìmọ̀ rere ti Ahitofeli po.” Nítorí kí Olúwa lè mú ibi wá sórí Absalomu.
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.
15 Huṣai sì wí fún Sadoku àti fún Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Báyìí ni Ahitofeli ti bá Absalomu àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli dámọ̀ràn, báyìí lèmi sì bá a dámọ̀ràn.
Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.
16 Nítorí náà yára ránṣẹ́ nísinsin yìí kí o sì sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Má ṣe dúró ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ijù náà lálẹ́ yìí, ṣùgbọ́n yára rékọjá kí a má bá a gbé ọba mì, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.’”
So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.
17 Jonatani àti Ahimasi sì dúró ní En-Rogeli ọ̀dọ́mọdébìnrin kan sì lọ, ó sì sọ fún wọn, wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n sọ fún Dafidi ọba nítorí pé kí a má bá à rí wọn pé wọ́n wọ ìlú.
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀dọ́mọdékùnrin kan rí wọn, ó sì wí fún Absalomu, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn méjèèjì sì yára lọ kúrò, wọ́n sì wá sí ilé ọkùnrin kan ní Bahurimu, ẹni tí ó ní kànga kan ní ọgbà rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibẹ̀.
But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.
19 Obìnrin rẹ̀ sì mú nǹkan ó fi bo kànga náà, ó sì sá àgbàdo sórí rẹ̀, a kò sì mọ̀.
And a woman put a cover over the hole, and put crushed grain on top of it, and no one had any knowledge of it.
20 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Absalomu sì tọ obìnrin náà wá sí ilé náà, wọ́n sì béèrè pé, “Níbo ni Ahimasi àti Jonatani gbé wà?” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún wọn pé, “Wọ́n ti gòkè rékọjá ìṣàn odò náà.” Wọ́n sì wá wọn kiri, wọn kò sì rí wọn, wọ́n sì yípadà sí Jerusalẹmu.
And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.
21 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti lọ tán, àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì jáde kúrò nínú kànga, wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n sì rò fún Dafidi ọba. Wọ́n sọ fún Dafidi pé, “Dìde kí o sì gòkè odò kánkán, nítorí pé báyìí ni Ahitofeli gbìmọ̀ sí ọ.”
Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.
22 Dafidi sì dìde, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì gòkè odò Jordani: kí ilẹ̀ tó mọ́, ènìyàn kò kù tí kò gòkè odò Jordani.
So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.
23 Nígbà tí Ahitofeli sì rí i pé wọn kò fi ìmọ̀ tirẹ̀ ṣe, ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ ni gàárì, ó sì dìde, ó lọ ilé rẹ̀, ó sì palẹ̀ ilé rẹ̀ mọ̀, ó sì so, ó sì kú, a sì sin ín sí ibojì baba rẹ̀. Absalomu gbógun ti Dafidi.
Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father.
24 Dafidi sì wá sí Mahanaimu, Absalomu sì gòkè odò Jordani, òun àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.
25 Absalomu sì fi Amasa ṣe olórí ogun ní ipò Joabu: Amasa ẹni tí í ṣe ọmọ ẹnìkan, orúkọ ẹni tí a ń pè ní Itira, ará Israẹli, tí ó wọlé tọ Abigaili ọmọbìnrin Nahaṣi, arábìnrin Seruiah, ìyá Joabu.
And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
26 Israẹli àti Absalomu sì dó ní ilẹ̀ Gileadi.
And Israel and Absalom put up their tents in the land of Gilead.
27 Nígbà tí Dafidi sì wá sí Mahanaimu, Ṣobi ọmọ Nahaṣi ti Rabba tí àwọn ọmọ Ammoni, àti Makiri ọmọ Ammieli ti Lo-Debari, àti Barsillai ará Gileadi ti Rogelimu.
Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28 Mú àwọn àkéte, àti àwọn àwo, àti ìkòkò amọ̀, àti alikama, àti ọkà barle, àti ìyẹ̀fun, àti àgbàdo díndín, àti ẹ̀wà, àti erèé, àti lẹntili.
Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,
29 Àti oyin, àti òrí-àmọ́, àti àgùntàn, àti wàràǹkàṣì màlúù, wá fún Dafidi àti fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, láti jẹ: nítorí tí wọ́n wí pé, “Ebi ń pa àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì rẹ̀ wọ́n, òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ wọ́n ní aginjù.”
And honey and butter and sheep and milk-cheeses, for David and his people: for they said, This people is in the waste land, needing food and drink and rest.
