2 Samuel 20
1 Ọkùnrin Beliali kan sì ń bẹ níbẹ̀ orúkọ rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri ará Benjamini; ó sì fún ìpè ó sì wí pé, “Àwa kò ní ipa nínú Dafidi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa kò ni ìní nínú ọmọ Jese! Kí olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin lọ sí àgọ́ rẹ̀, ẹ̀yin Israẹli!”
And there was a transgressor [so] called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we [any] inheritance in the son of Jessae: to thy tents, O Israel, every one.
2 Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì lọ kúrò lẹ́yìn Dafidi, wọ́n sì ń tọ́ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì fi ara mọ́ ọba wọn láti odò Jordani wá títí ó fi dé Jerusalẹmu.
And all the men of Israel went up from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 Dafidi sì wà ní ilé rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu; ọba sì mú àwọn obìnrin mẹ́wàá tí í ṣe àlè rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó ti fi sílẹ̀ láti máa ṣọ́ ilé, Ó sì há wọn mọ́ ilé, ó sì ń bọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò sì tún wọlé tọ̀ wọ́n mọ́. A sì sé wọn mọ́ títí di ọjọ́ ikú wọn, wọ́n sì wà bí opó.
And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.
4 Ọba sì wí fún Amasa pé, “Pe àwọn ọkùnrin Juda fún mi ní ìwọ̀n ọjọ́ mẹ́ta òní, kí ìwọ náà kí o sì wà níhìn-ín yìí.”
And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do thou be present here.
5 Amasa sì lọ láti pe àwọn ọkùnrin Juda; ṣùgbọ́n ó sì dúró pẹ́ ju àkókò tí a fi fún un.
And Amessai went to call Juda, and delayed beyond the time which David appointed him.
6 Dafidi sì wí fún Abiṣai pé, “Nísinsin yìí Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri yóò ṣe wá ní ibi ju ti Absalomu lọ; ìwọ mú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa rẹ, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀, kí ó má ba à rí ìlú olódi wọ̀, kí ó sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wa.”
And David said to Amessai, Now shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then take thou with thee the servants of thy lord, and follow after him, lest he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.
7 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Joabu sì jáde tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, àti àwọn Kereti, àti àwọn Peleti, àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára, wọ́n sì ti Jerusalẹmu jáde lọ, láti lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
And there went out after him Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
8 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ibi òkúta ńlá tí ó wà ní Gibeoni, Amasa sì ṣáájú wọn, Joabu sì di àmùrè sí agbádá rẹ̀ tí ó wọ̀, ó sì sán idà rẹ̀ mọ́ ìdí, nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀, bí ó sì ti ń lọ, ó yọ́ jáde.
And they [were] by the great stone that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out, it even came out and fell.
9 Joabu sì bi Amasa léèrè pé, “Àlàáfíà ha kọ́ ni bí, ìwọ arákùnrin mi?” Joabu sì na ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀, di Amasa ní irùngbọ̀n mú láti fi ẹnu kò ó lẹ́nu.
And Joab said to Amessai, Art thou in health, [my] brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amessai to kiss him.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n Amasa kò sì kíyèsi idà tí ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ Joabu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun sì fi gún un ní ikùn, ìfun rẹ̀ sì tú dà sílẹ̀, òun kò sì tún gún un mọ́, Amasa sì kú. Joabu àti Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
And Amessai observed not the dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab smote him with it on the loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued after Sabee the son of Bochori.
11 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdékùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Joabu sì dúró tì Amasa, ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn Joabu? Ta ni ó sì ń ṣe ti Dafidi, kí ó máa tọ Joabu lẹ́yìn.”
And there stood over him one of the servants of Joab, and said, Who [is] he that is for Joab, and who [is] on the side of David following Joab?
12 Amasa sì ń yíràá nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ láàrín ọ̀nà. Ọkùnrin náà sì rí i pé gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró tì í, ó sì gbé Amasa kúrò lójú ọ̀nà lọ sínú igbó, ó sì fi aṣọ bò ó, nígbà tí ó rí i pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, á dúró.
And Amessai [was] weltering in blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing still.
13 Nígbà tí ó sì gbé Amasa kúrò lójú ọ̀nà gbogbo ènìyàn sì tọ Joabu lẹ́yìn láti lépa Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri.
And when he was quickly removed from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
14 Ṣeba kọjá nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli sí Abeli-Beti-Maaka, àti gbogbo àwọn ará Beri; wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn pẹ̀lú.
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were assembled, and followed after him.
15 Wọ́n wá, wọ́n sì dó tì Ṣeba ní Abeli-Beti-Maaka, wọ́n sì mọ odi ti ìlú náà, odi náà sì dúró ti odi ìlú náà, gbogbo ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Joabu sì ń gbìyànjú láti wó ògiri náà lulẹ̀.
And they came and besieged him in Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down the wall.
16 Obìnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n kan sì kígbe sókè láti ìlú náà wá pé, “Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀! Èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ sọ fún Joabu pé, ‘Súnmọ́ ìhín yìí èmi ó sì bá a sọ̀rọ̀.’”
And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray ye, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him.
17 Nígbà tí òun sì súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ni Joabu bí?” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi náà ni.” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún un pé, “Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ń gbọ́.”
And he drew nigh to her, and the woman said to him, Art thou Joab? and he said, I [am]. And she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.
18 Ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wọ́n ti ń wí ṣáájú pé, ‘Gba ìdáhùn rẹ ní Abeli,’ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì parí ọ̀ràn náà.
And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.
19 Èmi ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹni àlàáfíà àti olóòtítọ́ ní Israẹli, ìwọ ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa ìlú kan run tí ó jẹ́ ìyá ní Israẹli, èéṣe tí ìwọ ó fi gbé ìní Olúwa mì.”
I am a peaceable one of the strong ones in Israel; but thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother city in Israel: why dost thou seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?
20 Joabu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kí a má rí i, kí a má rí i lọ́dọ̀ mi pé èmi gbé mì tàbí èmi sì parun.
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy.
21 Ọ̀ràn náà kò sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin kan láti òkè Efraimu, tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ṣeba, ọmọ Bikri, ni ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè sí ọba, àní sí Dafidi: fi òun nìkan ṣoṣo lé wa lọ́wọ́, èmi ó sì fi ìlú sílẹ̀.” Obìnrin náà sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Wò ó, orí rẹ̀ ni a ó sì sọ láti inú odi wá.”
Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22 Obìnrin náà sì mú ìmọ́ràn rẹ̀ tọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà, wọ́n sì bẹ Ṣeba ọmọ Bikri lórí, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ sí Joabu. Òun sì fún ìpè, wọ́n sì túká ní ìlú náà, olúkúlùkù sí àgọ́ rẹ̀. Joabu sí padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu àti sọ́dọ̀ ọba.
And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 Joabu sì ni olórí gbogbo ogun Israẹli; Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì jẹ́ olórí àwọn Kereti, àti ti àwọn Peleti.
And Joab [was] over all the forces of Israel: and Banaias the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethites and over the Phelethites.
24 Adoniramu sì jẹ́ olórí àwọn agbowó òde; Jehoṣafati ọmọ Ahiludi sì jẹ́ olùkọsílẹ̀ ohun tí ó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ìlú.
And Adoniram [was] over the tribute: and Josaphath the son of Achiluth [was] recorder.
25 Ṣefa sì jẹ́ akọ̀wé; Sadoku àti Abiatari sì ni àwọn àlùfáà.
And Susa [was] scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar [were] priests.
26 Ira pẹ̀lú, ará Jairi ni ń ṣe àlùfáà lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi.
Moreover Iras the [son of] Iarin was priest to David.
