14 Jehanɛ ɔ, Yoab, Zeruya binyumu ɔ yɔse kaa matsɛ ɔ ngɛ tsui yee ngɛ Absalom he.
2 Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Yoab tsɔ kɛ ya Tekoa, nɛ a ya ngɔ yo ko nɛ e hɛ mi tɛ kɛ je lejɛ ɔ kɛ ba, nɛ e de yo ɔ ke: “I kpa mo pɛɛ nɛ o pee o ní kaa nɔ ko nɛ e ngɛ nɔ ko he ya foe, nɛ́ o wo aywilɛho yemi tadehi, nɛ́ o ko kpa nu. Pee o ní kaa yo nɛ e nɔ ko gbo nɛ e ngɛ nɔ ɔ he ya foe ligbihi babauu ji nɛ ɔ.
3 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, moo ya matsɛ ɔ ngɔ nɛ o ya de lɛ nɔ́ nɛ ɔ.” Kɛkɛ nɛ Yoab ngɔ munyu ɔmɛ kɛ wo e nya.*
4 Tekoa yo ɔ ya matsɛ ɔ ngɔ nɛ e ya kplã si nɛ e kɛ e hɛ mi bu si, nɛ e je bumi kpo ha matsɛ ɔ, nɛ e de ke: “Oo matsɛ, moo ye bua mi!”
5 Matsɛ ɔ bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni sane?” Kɛkɛ nɛ e he nɔ ke: “Ao, yalɔyo ji mi; ye huno gbo.
6 Nɛ imi o mawayo ɔ, i ngɛ binyumuhi enyɔ, nɛ mɛ ní enyɔ ɔmɛ a nɔ kunɔ ngɛ nga a nɔ. Nɔ ko be lejɛ ɔ nɛ e ma kpata mɛ, nɛ nɔ kake fia e nyɛmi nɔ́ nɛ e gbe lɛ.
7 Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, weku ɔ tsuo te si kɛ wo imi o mawayo ɔ, nɛ a ngɛ dee ke, ‘Ngɔɔ nɔ nɛ e gbe e nyɛminyumu ɔ kɛ ba konɛ waa gbe lɛ ngɛ e nyɛminyumu ɔ nɛ e gbe ɔ wami* he je, ke lɔ ɔ ma bi nɛ wa kpata gbosi ní yelɔ ɔ hɛ mi po!’ A maa gbe la ngu hɛuu kake nɛ piɛ* ha mi ɔ, nɛ ye huno biɛ maa laa, nɛ e nɔ ko hu be piɛe ngɛ zugba a nɔ.”
8 Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ de yo ɔ ke: “Moo ho o we mi ya, nɛ ma ye o sane ɔ ha mo.”
9 Kɛkɛ nɛ Tekoa yo ɔ de matsɛ ɔ ke: “Oo ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ, ha nɛ fɔ yemi ɔ nɛ ba i kɛ ye tsɛ we ɔ wa nɔ, nɛ́ matsɛ ɔ kɛ e matsɛ sɛ ɔ nɛ a ye a he.”
10 Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ de ke: “Ke nɔ ko kpale de mo nɔ́ kpa ko ɔ, ngɔɔ lɛ kɛ ba ha mi, nɛ e be o nya gbae hu.”
11 Se yo ɔ de ke: “Matsɛ, i kpa mo pɛɛ nɛ o kai Yehowa o Mawu ɔ, konɛ muɔ he lue yelɔ ɔ nɛ ko puɛ ní, nɛ e kpata ye binyumu ɔ hɛ mi.” Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ de ke: “Be abɔ nɛ Yehowa ngɛ nɛ ɔ, o binyumu ɔ yi bwɔmi kake po be zugba nɔe.”
12 Jehanɛ ɔ, yo ɔ de ke: “I kpa mo pɛɛ, mo ha nɛ o mawayo ɔ nɛ de ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ nɔ́ ko.” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, matsɛ ɔ de lɛ ke: “Moo tu munyu!”
13 Yo ɔ de ke: “Lɛɛ mɛni he je mɔ nɛ o to o yi mi kaa o maa pee nɔ́ ko kaa kikɛ nɛ ɔ kɛ si Mawu we bi ɔmɛ ɔ? Ke matsɛ ɔ de nɔ́ ko kaa kikɛ ɔ, e bu lɛ nitsɛ e he fɔ, ejakaa matsɛ ɔ ngɔɛ lɛ nitsɛ e binyumu nɛ a je lɛ we ɔ kɛ kpale we kɛ bɛ.
14 Bɔ fɛɛ bɔ nɛ ji ɔ, wa ma gbo nɛ wa maa pee kaa nyu nɛ a kpa pue zugba nɛ e be hie muɔɔmi hu. Se Mawu be wami* ko hɛ mi kpatae, nɛ e susuɔ yi mi tomihi a he je nɛ e sa kaa e kpale nɔ nɛ a je lɛ we ɔ kɛ ba e ngɔ ekohu ɔ he.
15 I ba konɛ ma ba de ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ nɔ́ nɛ ɔ, ejakaa ni ɔmɛ ha nɛ i ye gbeye. Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, o mawayo ɔ de ke, ‘I kpa matsɛ ɔ pɛɛ nɛ e ha nɛ i kɛ lɛ nɛ tu munyu. Eko ɔ, matsɛ ɔ maa pee nɔ́ nɛ e mawayo ɔ ma bi lɛ ɔ.
16 Eko ɔ, matsɛ ɔ maa bu tue, nɛ e ma he e mawayo ɔ yi wami kɛ je nyumu nɛ e ngɛ hlae nɛ e kpata i kɛ ye binyumu kake pɛ ɔ wa hɛ mi kɛ je gbosi ní nɛ Mawu ha wɔ ɔ he ɔ dɛ mi.’
17 Kɛkɛ nɛ o mawayo ɔ de ke, ‘I kpa ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ pɛɛ konɛ munyu nɛ e maa tu ɔ nɛ ha mi he jɔmi,’ ejakaa ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ ngɛ kaa anɔkuale Mawu ɔ bɔfo, nɛ e le slɔɔto nɛ ngɛ kpakpa kɛ yayami a kpɛti. Yehowa o Mawu ɔ kɛ mo nɛ hi si.”
18 Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ de yo ɔ ke: “I kpa mo pɛɛ nɛ o ko laa mi nɔ́ nɛ ma bi mo ɔ eko nɔ.” Yo ɔ he nɔ ke: “I kpa ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ pɛɛ nɛ e tu munyu.”
19 Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ bi lɛ ke: “Anɛ Yoab lɛ ha nɛ o pee ní nɛ ɔmɛ tsuo lo?” Yo ɔ ha heto ke: “Oo ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ, be abɔ nɛ o* ngɛ nɛ ɔ, e ngɛ mi kaa bɔ nɛ ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ de ɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ,* ejakaa o sɔmɔlɔ Yoab ji nɔ nɛ fã mi, nɛ e ngɔ munyu nɛ ɔmɛ tsuo kɛ wo o mawayo ɔ nya.
20 O sɔmɔlɔ Yoab pee nɔ́ nɛ ɔ konɛ e kɛ tsake níhi a hɛ mi, se ye nyɔmtsɛ ɔ ngɛ juɛmi kaa anɔkuale Mawu ɔ bɔfo, nɛ e le níhi tsuo nɛ ngɛ nɔ yae ngɛ zugba a nɔ.”
21 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, matsɛ ɔ de Yoab ke: “Saminya, ma pee nɔ́ nɛ ɔ. Yaa nɛ o ya ngɔ niheyo Absalom kɛ kpale kɛ ba.”
22 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yoab kplã si nɛ e kɛ e hɛ mi bu si, nɛ e je bumi kpo ha matsɛ ɔ nɛ e je e yi. Yoab de ke: “Oo ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ, mwɔnɛ ɔ, imi o sɔmɔlɔ ɔ na kaa ye hɛ mi ba nyami ngɛ o hɛ mi, ejakaa matsɛ ɔ pee nɔ́ nɛ e sɔmɔlɔ ɔ bi ɔ.”
23 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yoab te si, nɛ e pue nɔ kɛ ho Geshur ya, nɛ e ya ngɔ Absalom kɛ ba Yerusalem.
24 Se matsɛ ɔ de ke: “Ha nɛ e kpale kɛ ho lɛ nitsɛ e we mi ya; e ko ba na ye hɛ mi.” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Absalom kpale kɛ ho lɛ nitsɛ e we ɔ mi ya, nɛ e nɛ matsɛ ɔ hɛ mi.
25 Jehanɛ ɔ, ngɛ Israel tsuo ɔ, nyumu ko be nɛ a jeɔ e yi wawɛɛ kaa e he ngɛ fɛu kaa Absalom. Kɛ je e nane si kɛ ya si e yi kpɛti ɔ, kpa ko be e he.
26 Daa jeha a, e biɔ nɛ e sã e yi nɔ, ejakaa e yi bwɔmi ɔ jiɔ ngɛ e nɔ. Ke e sã e yi nɔ ɔ, e yi bwɔmi ɔ jiɔmi ji shekel 200* ngɛ matsɛ sɛni tɛ ɔ nya.*
27 A fɔ binyumuhi etɛ kɛ biyo kake kɛ ha Absalom. E biyo ɔ biɛ ji Tamar. E ji yo nɛ e he ngɛ fɛu saminya.
28 Absalom ya nɔ nɛ e hi Yerusalem jeha enyɔ sɔuu, se e nɛ matsɛ ɔ hɛ mi.
29 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Absalom tsɔ konɛ a ya tsɛ Yoab kɛ ba nɛ́ e tsɔ lɛ matsɛ ɔ ngɔ, se Yoab bɛ. E tsɔ kɛ ya tsɛ lɛ si enyɔne, se loloolo ɔ, e kua bami.
30 Nyagbenyagbe ɔ, e de e sɔmɔli ɔmɛ ke: “Yoab zugba tsa ye nɔ́ ɔ nɔ, nɛ e du barli* ngɛ nɔ. Nyɛɛ ya nɛ nyɛ ya mɛ he la.” Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Absalom sɔmɔli ɔmɛ ya mɛ ngmɔ ɔ he la.
31 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yoab te si nɛ e ba Absalom we ɔ mi nɛ e ba bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni he je nɛ o sɔmɔli ɔmɛ sã ye ngmɔ ɔ?”
32 Absalom ha Yoab heto ke: “Hyɛ! I tsɔ konɛ a ngɔ sɛ gbi nɛ ɔ kɛ ba ha mo ke, ‘Ba nɛ ma tsɔ mo matsɛ ɔ ngɔ nɛ o ya bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni he je nɛ i je Geshur kɛ ba a? Kaa i hi lejɛ ɔ, jinɛ lɔ ɔ mohu ko hi ha mi. Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, ha nɛ ma na matsɛ ɔ hɛ mi, nɛ ke i ye fɔ ɔ, lɛɛ e gbe mi.”’”
33 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Yoab ho matsɛ ɔ ngɔ ya, nɛ e ya bɔ lɛ amaniɛ. Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ tsɛ Absalom, nɛ Absalom ba matsɛ ɔ ngɔ nɛ e ba je bumi kpo ha lɛ, nɛ e kplã si ngɛ matsɛ ɔ hɛ mi, nɛ e kɛ e hɛ mi bu zugba. Kɛkɛ nɛ matsɛ ɔ fĩɔ Absalom nya he.*
