< Kings II 19 >

1 And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
A sì rò fún Joabu pe, “Wò ó, ọba ń sọkún, ó sì ń gbààwẹ̀ fún Absalomu.”
2 And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.
Ìṣẹ́gun ọjọ́ náà sì di àwẹ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn náà gbọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà bí inú ọba ti bàjẹ́ nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀.
3 And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yọ́ lọ sí ìlú ní ọjọ́ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn bí ènìyàn tí a dójútì ṣe máa ń yọ́ lọ nígbà tí wọ́n bá sá lójú ìjà.
4 And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
Ọba sì bo ojú rẹ̀, ọba sì kígbe ní ohùn rara pé, “Á à! Ọmọ mi Absalomu! Absalomu ọmọ mi, ọmọ mi!”
5 And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, You have this day shamed the faces of all your servants that have delivered you this day, and [have saved] the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and of your concubines,
Joabu sì wọ inú ilé tọ ọba lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ dójúti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lónìí, àwọn tí ó gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là lónìí, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, àti ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, àti àwọn aya rẹ̀, àti ẹ̀mí àwọn obìnrin rẹ.
6 forasmuch as you love them that hate you, and hate them that love you; and you have this day declared, that your princes and your servants are nothing [in your sight]: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, [and] all of us dead today, then it would have been right in your sight.
Nítorí pé ìwọ fẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, ìwọ sì kórìíra àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí tí ìwọ wí lónìí pé, Ìwọ kò náání àwọn ọmọ ọba tàbí àwọn ìránṣẹ́; èmi sì rí lónìí pé, ìbá ṣe pé Absalomu wà láààyè, kí gbogbo wa sì kú lónìí, ǹjẹ́ ìbá dùn mọ́ ọ gidigidi.
7 And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to your servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless you will go forth today, there shall not a man remain with you this night: and know for yourself, this thing [will] indeed [be] evil to you beyond all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.
Sì dìde nísinsin yìí, lọ, kí o sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìtùnú fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí pé èmi fi Olúwa búra, bí ìwọ kò bá lọ, ẹnìkan kì yóò bá ọ dúró ni alẹ́ yìí, èyí ni yóò sì burú fún ọ ju gbogbo ibi tí ojú rẹ ti ń rí láti ìgbà èwe rẹ wá títí ó fi di ìsinsin yìí.”
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
Ọba sì dìde, ó sì jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọ́n sì wí fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Wò ó, ọba jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.” Gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá sí iwájú ọba. Nítorí pé, Israẹli ti sá, olúkúlùkù sí àgọ́ rẹ̀.
9 And all the people disputed amongst all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì ń bà ara wọn jà nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, pé, “Ọba ti gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa, ó sì ti gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini; òun sì wá sá kúrò ní ìlú nítorí Absalomu.
10 And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are you silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
Absalomu, tí àwa fi jẹ ọba lórí wa sì kú ní ogun, ǹjẹ́ èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi dákẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ kan láti mú ọba padà wá?”
11 And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are you the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
Dafidi ọba sì ránṣẹ́ sí Sadoku, àti sí Abiatari àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Juda, pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá sí ilé rẹ̀? Ọ̀rọ̀ gbogbo Israẹli sì ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọba àní ní ilé rẹ̀.
12 You [are] my brethren, you [are] my bones and my flesh: why are you the last to bring back the king to his house?
Ẹ̀yin ni ara mi, ẹ̀yin ni egungun mi, àti ẹran-ara mi: èéṣì ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi kẹ́yìn láti mú ọba padà wá.’
13 And you shall say to Amessai, [Are] you not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if you shall not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
Kí ẹ̀yin sì wí fún Amasa pé, ‘Egungun àti ẹran-ara mi kọ́ ni ìwọ jẹ́ bí? Kí Ọlọ́run ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ kò ba ṣe olórí ogun níwájú mi títí, ní ipò Joabu.’”
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return you, and all your servants.
Òun sì yí gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lọ́kàn padà àní bí ọkàn ènìyàn kan; wọ́n sì ránṣẹ́ sí ọba, pé, “Ìwọ padà àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”
15 And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
Ọba sì padà, o sì wá sí odò Jordani. Juda sì wá sí Gilgali láti lọ pàdé ọba, àti láti mú ọba kọjá odò Jordani.
16 And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David.
Ṣimei ọmọ Gera, ará Benjamini ti Bahurimu, ó yára ó sì bá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti pàdé Dafidi ọba.
17 And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
Ẹgbẹ̀rún ọmọkùnrin sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin Benjamini, Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ ilé Saulu, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti ogún ìránṣẹ́ sì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; wọ́n sì gòkè odò Jordani ṣáájú ọba.
18 and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
Ọkọ̀ èrò kan ti rékọjá láti kó àwọn ènìyàn ilé ọba sí òkè, àti láti ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀. Ṣimei ọmọ Gera wólẹ̀. Ó sì dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú ọba, bí ó tí gòkè odò Jordani.
19 and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of your servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi ó má ṣe ka ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí mi lọ́rùn, má sì ṣe rántí àfojúdi tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣe ni ọjọ́ tí olúwa mi ọba jáde ní Jerusalẹmu, kí ọba má sì fi sí inú.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come today before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
Nítorí pé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ̀ pé èmi ti ṣẹ̀; sì wò ó, mo wá lónìí yìí, ẹni àkọ́kọ́ ní gbogbo ìdílé Josẹfu tí yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá pàdé olúwa mi ọba.”
21 And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
Ṣùgbọ́n Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Kò ha tọ́ kí a pa Ṣimei nítorí èyí? Nítorí pé òun ti bú ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.”
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia, that you as it were lie in wait against me this day? today no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
Dafidi sì wí pé, “Kí ni èmi ní ṣe pẹ̀lú yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Seruiah tí ẹ dàbí ọ̀tá fún mi lónìí? A ha lè pa ènìyàn kan lónìí ní Israẹli? Tàbí èmi kò ha mọ̀ pé lónìí èmi ni ọba Israẹli.”
23 And the king said to Semei, You shall not die: and the king swore to him.
Ọba sì wí fún Ṣimei pé, “Ìwọ kì yóò kú!” Ọba sì búra fún un.
24 And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
Mefiboṣeti ọmọ Saulu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wá pàdé ọba, kò wẹ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, kò sí tọ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ láti ọjọ́ tí ọba ti jáde títí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí ó fi padà ní àlàáfíà.
25 And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosthe?
Nígbà tí òun sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti pàdé ọba, ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi bá mi lọ, Mefiboṣeti?”
26 And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for your servant [is] lame.
Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba, ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ó tàn mí, nítorí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún un pé, ‘Di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi èmi ó gùn ún, èmi ó sì tọ ọba lọ.’ Nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yarọ.
27 And he has dealt deceitfully with your servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God, and do you that which is good in your eyes.
Ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìbàjẹ́ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, fún olúwa mi ọba, ṣùgbọ́n bí angẹli Ọlọ́run ni olúwa mi ọba rí, nítorí náà ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú rẹ.
28 For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet you have set your servant amongst them that eat at your table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
Nítorí pé gbogbo ilé baba mi bí òkú ènìyàn ni wọ́n sá à rí níwájú olúwa mi ọba, ìwọ sì fi ipò fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láàrín àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní ibi oúnjẹ. Nítorí náà àre kín ni èmi ní tí èmi yóò fi máa ké pe ọba síbẹ̀.”
29 And the king said to him, Why speak you any longer of your matters? I have said, You and Siba shall divide the land.
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń sọ ọ̀ràn ara rẹ fún mi èmi sá à ti wí pé, kí ìwọ àti Ṣiba pín ilẹ̀ náà.”
30 And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house.
Mefiboṣeti sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó mú gbogbo rẹ̀, kí olúwa mi ọba sá à ti padà bọ̀ wá ilé rẹ̀ ni àlàáfíà.”
31 And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan.
Barsillai ará Gileadi sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Rogelimu wá, ó sì bá ọba gòkè odò Jordani, láti ṣe ìkẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ìkọjá odò Jordani.
32 And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man.
Barsillai sì jẹ́ arúgbó ọkùnrin gidigidi, ẹni ogbó ọgọ́rin ọdún sì ni, ó sì pèsè ohun jíjẹ fún ọba nígbà tí ó ti wà ní Mahanaimu; nítorí pé ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá ni òun ń ṣe.
33 And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.
Ọba sì wí fún Barsillai pé, “Ìwọ wá bá mi gòkè odò, èmi ó sì máa pèsè fún ọ ní Jerusalẹmu.”
34 And Berzelli said to the king, How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Barsillai sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ọjọ́ mélòó ni ọdún ẹ̀mí mi kù, tí èmi ó fi bá ọba gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can your servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and therefore shall your servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
Ẹni ogbó ọgọ́rin ọdún sá à ni èmi lónìí, ǹjẹ́ èmi mọ ìyàtọ̀ nínú rere àti búburú? Ǹjẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ le mọ adùn ohun tí òun ń jẹ tàbí ohun ti òun ń mu bí? Èmi tún lè mọ adùn ohùn àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń kọrin àti àwọn obìnrin tí ń kọrin bí, ǹjẹ́ nítorí kín ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe jẹ́ ìyọnu síbẹ̀ fún olúwa mi ọba.
36 Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò sì sin ọba lọ díẹ̀ gòkè odò Jordani; èéṣì ṣe tí ọba yóò fi san ẹ̀san yìí fún mi.
37 Let, I pray you, your servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, your servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do you to him as it seems good in your eyes.
Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ padà, èmi ó sì kú ní ìlú mi, a ó sì sin mí ní ibojì baba àti ìyá mi. Sì wo Kimhamu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, yóò bá olúwa mi ọba gòkè; ìwọ ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó bá tọ́ lójú rẹ fún un.”
38 And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatever you shall choose at my hand, I will do for you.
Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kimhamu yóò bá mi gòkè, èmi ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀ fún un; ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi ó ṣe é fún ọ.”
39 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì gòkè odò Jordani ọba sì gòkè; ọba sì fi ẹnu ko Barsillai lẹ́nu, ó sì súre fún un; òun sì padà sí ilé rẹ̀.
40 And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Ọba sì ń lọ́ sí Gilgali, Kimhamu sì ń bà a lọ, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda sì ń ṣe ìkẹ́ ọba, àti ààbọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen you away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
Sì wò ó, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì tọ ọba wá, wọ́n sì wí fún ọba pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn arákùnrin wa àwọn ọkùnrin Juda fi jí ọ kúrò, tí wọ́n sì fi mú ọba àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ gòkè odò Jordani, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Dafidi pẹ̀lú rẹ?”
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
Gbogbo ọkùnrin Juda sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli lóhùn pé, “Nítorí pé ọba bá wa tan ni; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi bínú nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí? Àwa jẹ nínú oúnjẹ ọba rárá bí? Tàbí ó fi ẹ̀bùn kan fún wa bí?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have you thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli náà sì dá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda lóhùn pé, “Àwa ní ipá mẹ́wàá nínú ọba, àwa sì ní nínú Dafidi jù yín lọ, èéṣì ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kà wá sí, tí ìmọ̀ wa kò fi ṣáájú láti mú ọba wa padà?” Ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì le ju ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli.
