Abner Kɔ Dawid Afa

⁶Bere a ɔko no rekɔ so wɔ Saul fi ne Dawid fi ntam no, Abner kɔɔ so hyɛɛ ne gyinabea den wɔ Saul fi. ⁷Saul wɔ mpena bi a ne din de Rispa, Aia babea. Is-Boset ka kyerɛɛ Abner se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne mʼagya mpena dae?”

⁸Is-Boset nsɛm no maa Abner bo fuw yiye, na ɔkae se, “Meyɛ ɔkraman ti a mede me ho ama Yuda anaa? Ɛnnɛ mekɔ so di nokware ma wʼagya Saul fi, ne nuanom ne ne nnamfo, na memfaa wo mmaa Dawid. Nanso afei wode ɔbaa yi ho asɛm abɔ me sobo! ^a a v8 “Ɔkraman ti” yɛ tete abususɛm a wɔde frɛ ɔfatwafo anaa ɔtamfo a ne ho nni mfaso. ⁹Yɛn Agya nyɛ Abner saa, na ɔnyɛ no nea ɛboro saa so, sɛ manyɛ mma Dawid nea yɛn Agya aka ntam ahyɛ no bɔ no a: ¹⁰sɛ ɔbɛyi ahenni no afi Saul fi, na wasi Dawid ahengua wɔ Israel ne Yuda so, efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba.”

¹¹Na Is-Boset antumi anka asɛm foforo biara ankyerɛ Abner, efisɛ na osuro no.

¹²Abner somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ ne din mu se, “Hena na asase no yɛ ne dea? Me ne wo nyɛ wʼapam, na me nsa bɛka wo ho, de Israel nyinaa aba wo nkyɛn.”

¹³Dawid kae se, “Eye; me ne wo bɛyɛ apam. Nanso biribi baako wɔ hɔ a mehwehwɛ: sɛ wode Saul babea Mikal amma kan bere a woreba no a, worenhu mʼanim.” ¹⁴Dawid somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Saul babarima Is-Boset nkyɛn se, “Fa me yere Mikal a mede Filistifo ntwetiaa ɔha na mehyɛɛ no bɔ maa me ho no ma me.”

¹⁵Enti Is-Boset somaa ma wɔkɔfaa no fii ne kunu, Lais babarima Paltiel, nkyɛn. ¹⁶Ne kunu ne no kɔe, na osu dii nʼakyi kosii Bahurim. Afei Abner ka kyerɛɛ no se, “San wʼakyi.” Enti ɔsan kɔe.

¹⁷Abner ne Israel mpanyimfo kasae se, “Moapɛ bere tenten sɛ Dawid nyɛ mo hene. ¹⁸Afei monyɛ ho biribi, efisɛ yɛn Agya hyɛɛ Dawid bɔ se, ‘Mede me somfo Dawid nsa bɛgye me nkurɔfo Israel afi Filistifo ne wɔn atamfo nyinaa nsa mu.’”

¹⁹Abner ne Benyamin nso kasae, na afei ɔkɔɔ Hebron kɔkaa nea Israel ne Benyamin fi no nyinaa apene so sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ Dawid. ²⁰Bere a Abner ne mmarima aduonu baa Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron no, Dawid too pon maa Abner ne ne mmarima no. ²¹Abner ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Ma menkɔboaboa Israel nyinaa ano mmrɛ me wura ɔhene, na wɔne wo nyɛ apam, na woadi nea wʼakoma pɛ nyinaa so hene.” Enti Dawid gyaa Abner kwan, na ɔkɔe asomdwoe mu.

Yoab Kum Abner

²²Ɛhɔ ara na Dawid nkoa ne Yoab fii korɔnmmɔ bi mu san bae a wɔde asade bebree ka wɔn ho. Nanso na Abner nni Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron bio, efisɛ na Dawid agyaa no kwan, na wakɔ asomdwoe mu. ²³Bere a Yoab ne nʼakofo nyinaa duruu no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ner babarima Abner baa ɔhene nkyɛn, na ɔhene gyaa no kwan, na ɔkɔe asomdwoe mu.”

²⁴Enti Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Abner baa wo nkyɛn—adɛn nti na wogyaa no kwan, na afei wakɔ? ²⁵Wonim sɛ Ner babarima Abner baa sɛ ɔrebɛdaadaa wo, na ahu wo kɔ ne wo ba ne nea woreyɛ nyinaa.”

²⁶Bere a Yoab fii Dawid nkyɛn no, ɔsomaa abɔfo ma wɔtii Abner, na wɔde no fii Sira abura ho san bae. Nanso na Dawid nnim ho hwee. ²⁷Bere a Abner san baa Hebron no, Yoab twee no kɔɔ nkyɛn wɔ kurow no pon mu te sɛ nea ɔpɛ sɛ ɔne no kasa kokoa mu, na ɛhɔ na ɔwɔɔ no sekan wɔ ne yafunu mu. Owui—ɛnam Yoab nua Asahel mogya nti. ²⁸Akyiri yi, bere a Dawid tee no, ɔkae se, “Me ne mʼahenni ho nni asɛm daa wɔ yɛn Agya anim wɔ Ner babarima Abner mogya ho. ²⁹Ɛmmɛtɔ Yoab ne nʼagya fi nyinaa ti so! Onipa a ne mu tetɛ anaa ɔwɔ honam ani yare, nea ɔde poma nantew, nea afoa kum no, anaa nea onni aduan nntew Yoab fi da.” ³⁰Enti Yoab ne ne nua Abisai kum Abner, efisɛ okum wɔn nua Asahel wɔ ɔko a wɔkoe wɔ Gibeon no mu.

Dawid Di Abner Ho Awerɛhow

³¹Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Yoab ne nkurɔfo a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa se, “Mompaapae mo ntade, monhyɛ atweaatam, na monsu wɔ Abner anim.” Ɔhene Dawid nantew dii funu mpa no akyi. ³²Wosiee Abner wɔ Hebron, na ɔhene too nteɛm suu wɔ ne da ho, na nkurɔfo no nyinaa nso sui. ³³Ɔhene too agyaadwo yi maa Abner se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Abner wu sɛnea ɔkwasea wu anaa? ³⁴Wɔankyekyere wo nsa, wɔamfa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn ankyekyere wo nan. Wohwee ase sɛnea obi hwe ase wɔ amumɔyɛfo anim.” Na nkurɔfo no nyinaa san sui wɔ ne ho bio.

³⁵Afei nkurɔfo no nyinaa baa sɛ wɔrebɛhyɛ Dawid sɛ onni biribi bere a ɛda so yɛ awia no, nanso Dawid kaa ntam se, “Sɛ mede me ano ka abodoo anaa biribi foforo ansa na owia akɔtɔ a, yɛn Agya nyɛ me saa, na ɔnyɛ me nea ɛsen saa!”

³⁶Nkurɔfo no nyinaa hui, na ɛsɔɔ wɔn ani; biribiara a ɔhene yɛe no sɔɔ nkurɔfo no nyinaa ani. ³⁷Enti da no, nkurɔfo no nyinaa ne Israel nyinaa hui sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔhene na ɔpɛe sɛ Ner babarima Abner wu. ³⁸Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa se, “Munnim sɛ ɔhenenana ne onipa kɛse bi ahwe ase ɛnnɛ wɔ Israel anaa? ³⁹Ɛnnɛ, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔasra me ɔhene de, nanso meyɛ mmerɛw, na mmarima yi, Seruia mma, yɛ den ma me. Yɛn Agya ntua ɔbɔnefo no ka sɛnea ne bɔne te.”
