2 Samuel 19 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

19 ¹Asɛm duu Yoab so se, “Hwɛ, ɔhene resu na ɔredi Absalom ho awerɛhow.” ²Enti da no, nkonimdi no danee awerɛhow maa nkurɔfo no nyinaa, efisɛ wɔtee da no se, “Ɔhene redi ne ba no ho awerɛhow.”

³Da no, nkurɔfo no wiaa wɔn ho kɔɔ kurow no mu, te sɛ nnipa a aniwu aka wɔn na wɔwia wɔn ho guan bere a wɔadwane afi ɔko mu no. ⁴Ɔhene kataa ne anim, na ɔteɛɛm denneennen se, “Me ba Absalom! Absalom, me ba, me ba!”

⁵Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnnɛ woagu wʼasomfo nyinaa anim ase, wɔn a ɛnnɛ wɔagye wo nkwa, wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea nkwa, ne wo yerenom ne wo mpenanom nkwa, ⁶ɛnam sɛ wodɔ wɔn a wɔtan wo, na wotan wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no. Ɛnnɛ woada no adi sɛ asahene ne asomfo nyɛ hwee mma wo. Afei mahu sɛ, sɛ Absalom te ase na yɛn nyinaa awuwu a, anka wʼani bɛgye. ⁷Afei sɔre, fi adi, na kasa brɛoo kyerɛ wʼasomfo.

Dawid San Kɔ Ne Nkurɔfo Nkyɛn

⁸Enti ɔhene sɔre kɔtenaa kurow pon ano. Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo no se, “Hwɛ, ɔhene te kurow pon ano” no, wɔn nyinaa bɛgyinaa nʼanim. Na Israelfo de, wɔaguan, obiara akɔ ne fie. ⁹Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu, nkurɔfo no gyee akyinnye se, “Ɔhene gyee yɛn fii yɛn atamfo nsam, oyii yɛn fii Filistifo nsam, nanso afei ɔnam Absalom nti aguan afi asase no so. ¹⁰Nanso Absalom a yɛsraa no ngo sɛ onni yɛn so no awu wɔ ɔko mu. Enti adɛn nti na yɛnka ho hwee sɛ yɛde ɔhene no bɛsan aba?”

¹¹Ɔhene Dawid soma kɔɔ asɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar nkyɛn se, “Monka nkyerɛ Yuda mpanyimfo se, ‘Adɛn nti na mobɛyɛ wɔn a wɔtwa to de ɔhene no bɛsan aba ne fie, bere a Israel nyinaa asɛm adu ɔhene no so wɔ ne fie?’ ¹²Moyɛ me nuanom, me ankasa me honam ne me mogya. Enti adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ wɔn a wɔtwa to de ɔhene no san ba? ¹³Monka nkyerɛ Amasa se, ‘Wonyɛ me ankasa me honam ne me mogya? Yɛn Agya nyɛ me saa, na ɔnyɛ me nea ɛboro saa, sɛ woanyɛ me sahene daa wɔ Yoab anan mu a.’” ¹⁴Dawid twee Yuda mmarima nyinaa koma ma wɔyɛɛ adwene baako sɛ onipa baako, na wɔsomaa kɔɔ ɔhene nkyɛn se, “San bra, wo ne wʼasomfo nyinaa.”

¹⁵Ɔhene sane baa Yordan; na Yuda baa Gilgal bɛhyiaa ɔhene no, sɛ wɔde no bɛtwa Yordan.

Dawid Hu Simei Mmɔbɔ

¹⁶Gera ba Simei, Benyaminni a ofi Bahurim no, ne Yuda mmarima no ntɛm siane bɛhyiaa Ɔhene Dawid. ¹⁷Benyaminfo apem ka ne ho, ne Siba, Saul fi somfo no, ne ne mmabarima dunum ne nʼasomfo aduonu. Wɔde ahoɔhare kɔɔ Yordan, dii ɔhene no anim, ¹⁸na wɔtwaa asu no faako a wotwa no, sɛ wɔde ɔhene fifo bɛtwa akɔ, na wɔayɛ nea ɛsɔ nʼani. Bere a ɔhene no rebetwa Yordan no, Gera ba Simei hwee ase wɔ nʼanim, ¹⁹kae se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, mfa yei mmu me fɔ, na mma wo nkae sɛnea wo somfo yɛɛ bɔne da a me wura ɔhene fii Yerusalem no. Me wura ɔhene, mesrɛ wo, mfa nto wo koma mu. ²⁰Wo somfo nim sɛ mayɛ bɔne.

²¹Afei Seruia ba Abisai kae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wokum Simei, efisɛ ɔdomee yɛn Agya nea wasra no ngo no?”

²²Dawid kae se, “Seruia mma, adɛn nti na mode mo ho gye me nsɛm mu? Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ me atamfo ɛnnɛ? Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum obi wɔ Israel ɛnnɛ? Minnim sɛ ɛnnɛ mene ɔhene wɔ Israel so?” ²³Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Simei se, “Worenwu,” na ɔhene kaa ntam kyerɛɛ no.

²⁶Ɔbuae se, “Me wura ɔhene, me somfo daadaa me. Wo somfo kae se, ‘Mɛsiesie me afurum, na me ne ɔhene no atena so akɔ,’ efisɛ wo somfo yɛ bubuafo. ²⁷Ɔsopaa wo somfo wɔ me wura ɔhene anim. Nanso me wura ɔhene te sɛ yɛn Agya ɔbɔfo; yɛ nea ɛyɛ wo papa. ²⁸Mʼagya fi nyinaa fata owu nko ara fi me wura ɔhene hɔ, nanso wode wo somfo kaa wɔn a wɔdidi wɔ wo didipon so no ho. Ɛho kwan bɛn na mewɔ sɛ mesrɛ ɔhene bio?”

²⁹Ɔhene kae se, “Adɛn nti na wokɔ so ka wo nsɛm ho asɛm? Masi me bo: wo ne Siba bɛkyɛ asase no.”

³⁰Mefiboset ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ma onfa ne nyinaa, esiane sɛ me wura ɔhene aba fie asomdwoe mu yi nti.”

³¹Gileadni Barsilai nso fi Rogelim siane bɛkaa ɔhene no ho twaa Yordan, sɛ ɔde no bɛkɔ ne kwan so. ³²Barsilai yɛ akwakoraa paa, na wadi mfe aduowɔtwe; ɔno na ɔmaa ɔhene no aduan bere a ɔtenaa Mahanaim no, efisɛ na ɔyɛ ɔdefo kɛse. ³³Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Barsilai se, “Wo ne me ntwa nkɔ, na mɛhwɛ wo wɔ me nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem.”

³⁴Barsilai ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Mfe ahe na aka me, na me ne ɔhene akɔ Yerusalem? ³⁵Ɛnnɛ madi mfe aduowɔtwe. Metumi ahu papa ne bɔne ntam nsonsonoe? Wo somfo tumi te nea odi anaa nea ɔnom no dɛ? Metumi te nnwontofo mmarima ne mmea nne bio? Adɛn nti na wo somfo bɛyɛ adesoa ama me wura ɔhene bio? ³⁶Wo somfo ne ɔhene bɛtwa Yordan akɔ kakra bi.

Nanso wo somfo Kimham ni; ma ɔne me wura ɔhene ntwa nkɔ, na yɛ no nea ɛyɛ wo papa.”

³⁸Ɔhene kae se, “Kimham ne me bɛtwa akɔ, na mɛyɛ no nea ɛsɔ wʼani, na biribiara a wobɛsrɛ me no, mɛyɛ ama wo.”

³⁹Nkurɔfo no nyinaa twaa Yordan, na ɔhene nso twae. Ɔhene few Barsilai ano hyiraa no, na Barsilai san kɔɔ ne fie. ⁴⁰Ɔhene twaa kɔɔ Gilgal, na Kimham ka ne ho. Yuda nkurɔfo nyinaa ne Israel fã de ɔhene no kɔe.
