14 ¹Afei Seruia babarima Yoab hunuu sɛ ɔhene no koma pere Absalom. ²Yoab somaa obi kɔɔ Tekoa kɔfaa ɔbaa nyansafo bi fi hɔ baa. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, yɛ wo ho sɛ obi a ɔredi awerɛhow: hyɛ awerɛhow ntade, nsra ngo, na yɛ wo ho sɛ ɔbaa a wadi owufo ho awerɛhow nna pii. ³Kɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn na kɔka nsɛm yi kyerɛ no.” Yoab de nsɛm no hyɛɛ nʼanom.

⁴Tekoa ɔbaa no baa ɔhene no nkyɛn, ɔde nʼanim butuw fam bɔɔ no ahenkra, na ɔkae se, “Ɔhene, boa me!”

⁵Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Dɛn na ɛhaw wo?” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Meyɛ okunafo; me kunu awu.

⁶Wʼafenaa nyaa mmabarima baanu. Wɔne wɔn ho koo wɔ afuw mu, na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtetew wɔn mu, na baako kum ne yɔnko. ⁷Abusua no nyinaa asɔre atia wʼafenaa, na wɔka se, ‘Fa nea ɔkum ne nua no ma yɛn; yɛbɛkum no ahyɛ ne nua a okum no no anan mu, na yɛasɛe adedifo no nso.’ Wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdum me gya a aka no, na wɔmma me kunu din anaa nʼasefo biara ntena asase so.”

⁸Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no se, “Kɔ wo fi, na mɛhyɛ mmara ama wo.”

⁹Tekoa ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Me wura ɔhene, ma afɔdi no mmɛda me ne mʼagya fi so; na ɔhene ne nʼahengua nni bem.”

¹⁰Ɔhene no kae se, “Obiara a ɔbɛka biribi akyerɛ wo no, fa no bra me nkyɛn—ɔremfa ne nsa nka wo bio.”

¹¹Ɔbaa no kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma ɔhene nkae wʼAgya, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mogya ho aweredifo no renkɔ so nhwie mogya bio, na wɔrensɛe me ba.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Sɛ yɛn Agya te ase yi, wo ba no ti nwi baako mpo rentɔ fam.” ^a a v11 Mogya ho aweredifo no yɛ abusuani bi a amanne de asɛyɛde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ onkum obi a wakum abusua no mu ni.

¹²Ɔbaa no kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma wʼafenaa nka asɛm baako nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Ka.”

¹³Ɔbaa no kae se, “Ɛno de, adɛn nti na woayɛ saa nhyehyɛe yi atia yɛn Agya nkurɔfo? Sɛ ɔhene ka saa a, na ɔde ne ho ara rebu fɔ, efisɛ wamfa ne ba a wapam no no ansan amma fie. ¹⁴Ampa ara yebewu, te sɛ nsu a ahwie agu fam a wontumi nsan nsesaw bio. Nanso yɛn Agya mfa nkwa—ɔhyehyɛ akwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nea wɔapam no rentena akyirikyiri mfi ne nkyɛn. ^b b v14 Ɛha mpo, wɔda yɛn Agya adi sɛ ɔhyehyɛ akwan de nea wɔapam no san ba fie sen sɛ ɔbɛfa nkwa — saa koma koro no ara na ɛtiw atukɔfo biara de wɔn san ba ne nkyɛn. ¹⁵Afei maba sɛ merebɛka eyi akyerɛ me wura ɔhene, efisɛ nkurɔfo no ahunahuna me. Wʼafenaa dwenee se: Ma menkasa nkyerɛ ɔhene; ebia ɔbɛyɛ nʼafenaa abisade ama no. ¹⁶Ebia ɔhene bɛtie na wagye nʼafenaa afi ɔbarima a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔtwa me ne me ba nyinaa fi yɛn Agya agyapade mu no nsam.’” ¹⁷Wʼafenaa dwenee se, “Ma me wura ɔhene asɛm mma me ahomegye, efisɛ me wura ɔhene te sɛ yɛn Agya ɔbɔfo, a ohu papa ne bɔne mu nsonsonoe. WʼAgya ne wo ntena.”

¹⁸Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no se, “Biribiara a mebisa wo no, mfa nsie me.” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Ma me wura ɔhene nkasa.”

¹⁹Ɔhene no bisaa se, “Yoab nsa wɔ yeinom nyinaa mu anaa?” Ɔbaa no buae se, “Sɛ wo te ase yi, me wura ɔhene, obiara ntumi nnan nkɔ nifa anaa benkum mfi biribiara a me wura ɔhene aka no ho. Wo somfo Yoab na ɔhyɛɛ me; ɔno na ɔde nsɛm yi nyinaa hyɛɛ wʼafenaa anom.

²⁰Wo somfo Yoab yɛɛ eyi sɛnea ɛbɛsesa sɛnea nneɛma te. Nanso me wura wɔ nyansa te sɛ yɛn Agya ɔbɔfo, na onim nea ɛwɔ asase no so nyinaa.”

²¹Afei ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Ɛyɛ, mɛyɛ eyi. Kɔ, kɔfa abarimaa Absalom no san bra.”

²²Yoab de nʼanim butuw fam, kotow, na ɔhyiraa ɔhene no. “Nnɛ wo somfo ahu sɛ manya wʼanim dom, me wura ɔhene,” ɔkae se, “efisɛ ɔhene ayɛ ne somfo abisade ama no.”

²³Enti Yoab sɔre kɔɔ Gesur kɔfaa Absalom san baa Yerusalem. ²⁴Ɔhene no kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ne fi, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ ohu mʼanim.” Enti Absalom kɔɔ ne fi, na wanhu ɔhene no anim. ²⁵Israel nyinaa mu, obiara nni hɔ a wɔkamfo ne ahoɔfɛ sɛ Absalom; efi ne nan ase kosi ne tiwa so, na dɛm biara nni ne ho. ²⁶Bere biara a obeyi ne ti nwi no—na oyi no afe biara, efisɛ na ɛyɛ duru ma no—ɔkari ne ti nwi no: ɛkari bɛyɛ pɔn anum wɔ ahemfie nkaribo so. ²⁷Wɔwoo mmabarima baasa ne ɔbabea baako a ne din de Tamar maa Absalom. Ɔyɛɛ ɔbaa a ne ho yɛ fɛ.

²⁸Absalom tenaa Yerusalem mfe abien nyinaa a wanhu ɔhene no anim. ²⁹Absalom somaa obi kɔfrɛɛ Yoab sɛ ɔnkɔsrɛ ɔhene no mma no, nanso Yoab ampene sɛ ɔbɛba ne nkyɛn. Ɔsomaa bio, ne mprenu so, nanso Yoab ampene ara sɛ ɔbɛba. ³⁰Absalom ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa se, “Monhwɛ, Yoab afuw bɔ me de ho, na ɔwɔ atoko wɔ hɔ. Monkɔ nkɔhyew.” Enti Absalom nkoa no hyew afuw no.

³¹Yoab sɔre kɔɔ Absalom fi, na ɔbisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wo nkoa de ogya ato mʼafuw mu?”

³²Absalom buaa Yoab se, “Mesomaa wo se, ‘Bra ha, na mensoma wo sɛ kɔbisa ɔhene se, adɛn nti na mifi Gesur bae—anka ɛyɛ ma me sɛ mekɔɔ so tenaa hɔ.’ Afei ma menhu ɔhene anim; sɛ midi fɔ wɔ biribi ho a, ma onkum me.”

³³Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa kyerɛɛ no. Ɔhene no frɛɛ Absalom, na Absalom bae bɛkotow de nʼanim butuw fam wɔ nʼanim. Afei ɔhene no few Absalom ano.
