2 Samuel 14
1 Then Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah perceyued, that the Kings heart was toward Absalom,
Joabu ọmọ Seruiah sì kíyèsi i, pé ọkàn ọba sì fà sí Absalomu.
2 And Ioab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a subtile woman, and sayd vnto her, I pray thee, fayne thy selfe to mourne, and nowe put on mourning apparel, and anoynt not thy selfe with oyle: but be as a woman that had now long time mourned for the dead.
Joabu sì ránṣẹ́ sí Tekoa, ó sì mú ọlọ́gbọ́n obìnrin kan láti ibẹ̀ wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, ṣe bí ẹni tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, kí o sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ sára, kí o má sì ṣe fi òróró pa ara, kí o sì dàbí obìnrin ti ó ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún òkú lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀.
3 And come to the King, and speake on this maner vnto him, (for Ioab taught her what she should say).
Kí o sì tọ ọba wá, kí o sọ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.” Joabu sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ sí lẹ́nu.
4 Then the woman of Tekoah spake vnto the king, and fel downe on her face to the ground, and did obeysance, and sayd, Helpe, O King.
Nígbà tí obìnrin àrá Tekoa sì ń fẹ́ sọ̀rọ̀ fún ọba, ó wólẹ̀, ó dojúbolẹ̀, o sí bu ọlá fún un, o sì wí pé, “Ọba, gbà mi.”
5 Then the King sayd vnto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am in deede a widow, and mine husband is dead:
Ọba sì bi í léèrè pé, “Kín ni o ṣe ọ́?” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ opó ni èmi ń ṣe, ọkọ mi sì kú.
6 And thine handmayd had two sonnes, and they two stroue together in the fielde: (and there was none to part them) so the one smote the other, and slew him.
Ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ sì ti ní ọmọkùnrin méjì, àwọn méjèèjì sì jọ jà lóko, kò sì si ẹni tí yóò là wọ́n, èkínní sì lu èkejì, ó sì pa á.
7 And beholde, the whole familie is risen against thine handmayde, and they sayde, Deliuer him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the soule of his brother whome hee slewe, that we may destroy the heire also: so they shall quenche my sparkle which is left, and shall not leaue to mine husband neither name nor posteritie vpon the earth.
Sì wò ó, gbogbo ìdílé dìde sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Fi ẹni tí ó pa arákùnrin rẹ fún wa, àwa ó sì pa á ní ipò ẹ̀mí arákùnrin rẹ̀ tí ó pa, àwa ó sì pa àrólé náà run pẹ̀lú.’ Wọn ó sì pa iná mi tí ó kù, wọn kì yóò sì fi orúkọ tàbí ẹni tí ó kú sílẹ̀ fún ọkọ mi ní ayé.”
8 And the King said vnto the woman, Go to thine house, and I wil giue a charge for thee.
Ọba sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Lọ sí ilé rẹ̀, èmi ó sì kìlọ̀ nítorí rẹ.”
9 Then the woman of Tekoah said vnto the King, My lord, O King, this trespas be on me, and on my fathers house, and the King and his throne be giltlesse.
Obìnrin ará Tekoa náà sì wí fún ọba pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba, jẹ́ kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà wà lórí mi, àti lórí ìdílé baba mí; kí ọba àti ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ó jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi.”
10 And the King sayde, Bring him to me that speaketh against thee, and he shall touche thee no more.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ, mú ẹni náà tọ̀ mí wá, òun kì yóò sì tọ́ ọ mọ́.”
11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the King remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer many reuengers of blood to destroy, lest they slay my sonne. And he answered, As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of thy sonne fall to the earth.
Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí ọba ó rántí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, kí olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ má ṣe ní ipá láti ṣe ìparun, kí wọn o má bá a pa ọmọ mi!” Òun sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè ọ̀kan nínú irun orí ọmọ rẹ ki yóò bọ sílẹ̀.”
12 Then the woman said, I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake a worde to my lord the King. And he sayd, Say on.
Obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sọ̀rọ̀ kan fún olúwa mi ọba.” Òun si wí pé, “Máa wí.”
13 Then the woman sayde, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? or why doeth the King, as one which is faultie, speake this thing, that he will not bring againe his banished?
Obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Nítorí kín ni ìwọ sì ṣe ro irú nǹkan yìí sí àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run? Nítorí pé ní sísọ nǹkan yìí ọba ní ẹ̀bi, nítorí pé ọba kò mú ìsáǹsá rẹ̀ bọ̀ wá ilé.
14 For we must needes dye, and we are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered vp againe: neither doeth God spare any person, yet doeth he appoynt meanes, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled.
Nítorí pé àwa ó sá à kú, a ó sì dàbí omi tí a tú sílẹ̀ tí a kò sì lè ṣàjọ mọ́; nítorí bí Ọlọ́run kò ti gbà ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ó sì ti ṣe ọ̀nà kí a má bá a lé ìsáǹsá rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
15 Nowe therefore that I am come to speake of this thing vnto my lord the King, the cause is that the people haue made me afrayd: therefore thine handmayde sayd, Nowe will I speake vnto the King: it may be that the King will perfourme the request of his handmayde.
“Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ni èmi sì ṣe wá sọ nǹkan yìí fún olúwa mi ọba, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ènìyàn ti dẹ́rùbà mí; ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ èmi ó sọ fún ọba; ó lè rí bẹ́ẹ̀ pé ọba yóò ṣe ìfẹ́ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ fún un.
16 For the King wil heare, to deliuer his handmayde out of the hande of the man that woulde destroy mee, and also my sonne from the inheritance of God.
Nítorí pé ọba ò gbọ́, láti gbà ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin náà tí ó ń fẹ́ gé èmi àti ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú kúrò nínú ilẹ̀ ìní Ọlọ́run.’
17 Therefore thine handmaid sayd, The word of my lord the King shall now be comfortable: for my lorde the King is euen as an Angel of God in hearing of good and bad: therefore the Lord thy God be with thee.
“Ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba olúwa mi yóò sì jásí ìtùnú; nítorí bí angẹli Ọlọ́run bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúwa mi ọba láti mọ rere àti búburú: Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.’”
18 Then the King answered, and said vnto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall aske thee. And the woman sayde, Let my lord the King now speake.
Ọba sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Má ṣe fi nǹkan tí èmi ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ pamọ́ fún mi, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́.” Obìnrin náà wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí olúwa mi ọba máa wí?”
19 And the King said, Is not the hand of Ioab with thee in all this? Then the woman answered, and sayd, As thy soule liueth, my lord the King, I will not turne to the right hande nor to the left, from ought that my lorde the King hath spoken: for euen thy seruant Ioab bade mee, and he put all these wordes in the mouth of thine handmayde.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ọwọ́ Joabu kò ha wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nínú gbogbo èyí?” Obìnrin náà sì dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Bí ẹ̀mí rẹ ti ń bẹ láààyè, olúwa mi ọba, kò sí ìyípadà sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún, tàbí sí ọwọ́ òsì nínú gbogbo èyí tí olúwa mi ọba ti wí, nítorí pé Joabu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, òun ni ó rán mi, òun ni ó sì fi gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ lẹ́nu.
20 For to the intent that I should chage the forme of speach, thy seruant Ioab hath done this thing: but my lord is wise according to the wisdome of an Angel of God to vnderstande all things that are in the earth.
Láti mú irú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wá ni Joabu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ṣe ṣe nǹkan yìí: olúwa mi sì gbọ́n, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọgbọ́n angẹli Ọlọ́run, láti mọ gbogbo nǹkan tí ń bẹ̀ ní ayé.”
21 And the King sayde vnto Ioab, Beholde nowe, I haue done this thing: go then, and bring the yong man Absalom againe.
Ọba sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Wò ó, èmi ó ṣe nǹkan yìí, nítorí náà lọ, kí o sì mú ọmọdékùnrin náà Absalomu padà wá.”
22 And Ioab fell to the grounde on his face, and bowed himselfe, and thanked the King. Then Ioab sayde, This day thy seruant knoweth, that I haue found grace in thy sight, my lord the King, in that the King hath fulfilled the request of his seruant.
Joabu sì wólẹ̀ ó dojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba fún un, ó sì súre fún ọba. Joabu sì wí pé, “Lónìí ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ̀ pé, èmi rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà lójú rẹ, olúwa mi, ọba, nítorí pé ọba ṣe ìfẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.”
23 And Ioab arose, and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Ierusalem.
Joabu sì dìde, ó sì lọ sí Geṣuri, ó sì mú Absalomu wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
24 And the King sayde, Let him turne to his owne house, and not see my face. So Absalom turned to his owne house, and saw not the Kings face.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó yípadà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó rí ojú mi.” Absalomu sì yípadà sí ilé rẹ̀, kò sì rí ojú ọba.
25 Nowe in all Israel there was none to be so much praysed for beautie as Absalom: from the sole of his foote euen to the toppe of his head there was no blemish in him.
Kó sì sí arẹwà kan ní gbogbo Israẹli tí à bá yìn bí Absalomu: láti àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ títí dé àtàrí rẹ̀ kò sí àbùkù kan lára rẹ̀.
26 And when he polled his head, (for at euery yeeres ende he polled it: because it was too heauie for him, therefore he polled it) he weyghed the heare of his head at two hundreth shekels by the Kings weight.
Nígbà tí ó bá sì rẹ́ irun orí rẹ̀ (nítorí pé lọ́dọọdún ni òun máa ń rẹ́ ẹ. Nígbà tí ó bá wúwo fún un, òun a sì máa rẹ́ ẹ) òun sì wọn irun orí rẹ̀, ó sì jásí igba ṣékélì nínú òsùwọ̀n ọba.
27 And Absalom had three sonnes, and one daughter named Tamar, which was a fayre woman to looke vpon.
A sì bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta fún Absalomu àti ọmọbìnrin kan ti orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Tamari: òun sì jẹ́ obìnrin tí ó lẹ́wà lójú.
28 So Absalom dwelt the space of two yeres in Ierusalem, and saw not the Kings face.
Absalomu sì gbé ni ọdún méjì ní Jerusalẹmu kò sì rí ojú ọba.
29 Therefore Absalom sent for Ioab to sende him to the King, but he would not come to him: and when he sent againe, he would not come.
Absalomu sì ránṣẹ́ sí Joabu, láti rán an sí ọba, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò fẹ́ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀; ó sì ránṣẹ́ lẹ́ẹ̀kejì òun kò sì fẹ́ wá.
30 Therefore he sayde vnto his seruants, Beholde, Ioab hath a fielde by my place, and hath barley therein: go, and set it on fire: and Absaloms seruants set the field on fire.
Ó sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, oko Joabu gbé ti èmi, ó sì ní ọkà barle níbẹ̀; ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì ti iná bọ̀ ọ́.” Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Absalomu sì tiná bọ oko náà.
31 Then Ioab arose, and came to Absalom vnto his house, and sayd vnto him, Wherefore haue thy seruants burnt my field with fire?
Joabu sì dìde, ó sì tọ Absalomu wá ní ilé, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fi tiná bọ oko mi?”
32 And Absalom answered Ioab, Beholde, I sent for thee, saying, Come thou hither, and I wil send thee to the King for to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? It had bene better for me to haue bene there still: nowe therefore let mee see the Kings face: and if there be any trespasse in me, let him kill me.
Absalomu sì dá Joabu lóhùn pé, “Wò ó, èmi ránṣẹ́ sí ọ, wí pé, ‘Wá níhìn-ín yìí, èmi ó sì rán ọ lọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba, láti béèrè pé, “Kí ni èmi ti Geṣuri wá si? Ìbá sàn fún mí bí ó ṣe pé èmi wà lọ́hùn ún síbẹ̀!”’ Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí jẹ́ kí èmi lọ síwájú ọba bí ó bá sì ṣe ẹ̀bi ń bẹ nínú mi, kí ó pa mí.”
33 Then Ioab came to the King, and told him: and he called for Absalom, who came to the King, and bowed himselfe to the grounde on his face before the King, and the King kissed Absalom.
Joabu sì tọ ọba wá, ó sì rò fún un: ó sì ránṣẹ́ pe Absalomu, òun sì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba, ó tẹríba fún un, ó sì dojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀ níwájú ọba, ọba sì fi ẹnu ko Absalomu lẹ́nu.
