< 2 Samuel 21 >
1 Ìyàn kan sì mú lọ́jọ́ Dafidi ní ọdún mẹ́ta, láti ọdún dé ọdún; Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, Olúwa sì wí pé, “Nítorí ti Saulu ni, àti nítorí ilé rẹ̀ tí ó kún fún ẹ̀jẹ̀, nítorí pé ó pa àwọn ará Gibeoni.”
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
2 Ọba sì pe àwọn ará Gibeoni, ó sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀; àwọn ará Gibeoni kì í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn tí ó kù nínú àwọn ọmọ Amori; àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ti búra fún wọn, Saulu sì ń wá ọ̀nà àti pa wọ́n ní ìtara rẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti Juda.
And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
3 Dafidi sì bi àwọn ará Gibeoni léèrè pé, “Kí ni èmi ó ṣe fún un yín? Àti kín ni èmi ó fi ṣe ètùtù, kí ẹ̀yin lè súre fún ilẹ̀ ìní Olúwa?”
And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Àwọn ará Gibeoni sì wí fún un pé, “Kì í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ fàdákà tàbí wúrà láàrín wa àti Saulu tàbí ìdílé rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì fẹ́ kí ẹ pa ẹnìkan ní Israẹli.” Dafidi sì wí pé, “Èyí tí ẹ̀yin bá wí ni èmi ó ṣe?”
And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
5 Wọ́n sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ọkùnrin tí ó run wá, tí ó sì rò láti pa wá rẹ́ ki a má kù níbikíbi nínú gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli.
And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
6 Mú ọkùnrin méje nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ fún wá, àwa ó sì so wọ́n rọ̀ fún Olúwa ní Gibeah ti Saulu ẹni tí Olúwa ti yàn.” Ọba sì wí pé, “Èmi ó fi wọ́n fún yín.”
Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ọba dá Mefiboṣeti sí, ọmọ Jonatani, ọmọ Saulu, nítorí ìbúra Olúwa tí ó wà láàrín Dafidi àti Jonatani ọmọ Saulu.
But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Ọba sì mú àwọn ọmọkùnrin méjèèjì tí Rispa ọmọbìnrin Aiah bí fún Saulu, àní Ammoni àti Mefiboṣeti àwọn ọmọkùnrin márààrún ti Merabu, ọmọbìnrin Saulu, àwọn tí ó bí fún Adrieli ọmọ Barsillai ará Mehola.
And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
9 Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ará Gibeah lọ́wọ́, wọ́n sì so wọ́n rọ̀ lórí òkè níwájú Olúwa: àwọn méjèèjì sì ṣubú lẹ́ẹ̀kan, a sì pa wọ́n ní ìgbà ìkórè, ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀, ìkórè ọkà barle.
And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Rispa ọmọbìnrin Aiah sì mú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ kan, ó sì tẹ́ fún ará rẹ̀ lórí àpáta ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìkórè, títí omi fi dà sí wọn lára láti ọ̀run wá, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run bà lé wọn lọ́sàn, tàbí àwọn ẹranko igbó lóru.
And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 A sì ro èyí, tí Rispa ọmọbìnrin Aiah obìnrin Saulu ṣe, fún Dafidi.
And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
12 Dafidi sì lọ ó sì kó egungun Saulu, àti egungun Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Jabesi Gileadi, àwọn tí ó jí wọn kúrò ní ìta Beti-Ṣani, níbi tí àwọn Filistini gbé so wọ́n rọ̀, nígbà tí àwọn Filistini pa Saulu ní Gilboa.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
13 Ó sì mú egungun Saulu àti egungun Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀ láti ibẹ̀ náà wá; wọ́n sì kó egungun àwọn tí a ti so rọ̀ jọ.
And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
14 Wọ́n sì sin egungun Saulu àti ti Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀ ní ilé Benjamini, ní Ṣela, nínú ibojì Kiṣi baba rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣe gbogbo èyí tí ọba paláṣẹ, lẹ́yìn èyí ni Ọlọ́run si gba ẹ̀bẹ̀ nítorí ilẹ̀ náà.
And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
15 Ogun sì tún wà láàrín àwọn Filistini àti Israẹli; Dafidi sì sọ̀kalẹ̀, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì bá àwọn Filistini jà, ó sì rẹ Dafidi.
And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
16 Iṣbi-Benobu sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn Rafa, ẹni tí ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ wọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ṣékélì idẹ, ó sì sán idà tuntun, ó sì gbèrò láti pa Dafidi.
And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah ràn án lọ́wọ́, ó sì kọlu Filistini náà, ó sì pa á. Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi sì búra fún un pé, “Ìwọ kì yóò sì tún bá wa jáde lọ sí ibi ìjà mọ́ kí ìwọ má ṣe pa iná Israẹli.”
And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Lẹ́yìn èyí, ìjà kan sì tún wà láàrín àwọn Israẹli àti àwọn Filistini ní Gobu, nígbà náà ni Sibekai ará Huṣati pa Safu, ẹni tí í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn Rafa.
And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
19 Ìjà kan sì tún wà ní Gobu láàrín àwọn Israẹli àti àwọn Filistini, Elhanani ọmọ Jairi ará Bẹtilẹhẹmu sì pa arákùnrin Goliati ará Gitti, ẹni tí ọ̀pá ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ dàbí ìdábùú apásá ìhunṣọ.
And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
20 Ìjà kan sì tún wà ní Gati, ọkùnrin kan sì wà tí ó ga púpọ̀, ó sì ní ìka mẹ́fà ní ọwọ́ kan, àti ọmọ ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́fà ní ẹsẹ̀ kan, àpapọ̀ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ mẹ́rìnlélógún; a sì bí òun náà ní Rafa.
And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
21 Nígbà tí òun sì pe Israẹli ní ìjà. Jonatani ọmọ Ṣimea arákùnrin Dafidi sì pa á.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
22 Àwọn mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin wọ̀nyí ni ìran Rafa ní Gati, wọ́n sì ti ọwọ́ Dafidi ṣubú àti ọwọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
