18 Akee Devidi dianle menli mɔɔ nee ye lua la na ɔmaanle mgbanyima nleanle menli apenle apenle nee menli ɛya ɛya nwo zo.+
2 Na Devidi hyɛle menli ne anu ekpunli nsa na ɔvale ko ɔwulale Dwowabe+ asa anu, ɔvale ko ɔwulale Zɛluaya+ ara Abehyae+ mɔɔ le Dwowabe adiema la asa anu na ɔvale ko ɔwulale Gatenli Yetaye+ asa anu. Akee belemgbunli ne zele menli ne kɛ: “Medame noko me nee bɛ bahɔ.”
3 Noko bɛhanle kɛ: “Mmakɔ bie,+ ɔluakɛ saa yɛnriandi a, bɛnrɛdwenle yɛ nwo;* yɛɛ saa yɛ nuhua foa ko wu a, bɛnrɛdwenle yɛ nwo, ɔboalekɛ ɛsonle bolɛ kɛ yɛ nuhua 10,000 la.+ Ɔti ɔle kpalɛ kɛ ɛbava moalɛ wɔavi sua ne azo wɔarɛlɛ yɛ.”
4 Belemgbunli ne zele bɛ kɛ: “Debie biala mɔɔ bɛnea a ɔle kpalɛ la, mebayɛ.” Ɔti belemgbunli ne gyinlanle suakpole ne anlenkɛ kpole ne anwo, na menli ne hɔle ye ɛya ɛya nee apenle apenle.
5 Akee belemgbunli ne vale edwɛkɛ ɛhye dole Dwowabe nee Abehyae yɛɛ Yetaye anyunlu kɛ: “Bɛ nee kpavolɛ Abesalɛm ɛli ye kɛnlɛma ɛmaa me.”+ Mɔɔ belemgbunli ne hanle Abesalɛm anwo edwɛkɛ hilele mgbanyima ne mɔ amuala la, menli ne kɔsɔɔti dele.
6 Menli ne hɔle kpɔkɛ ne anu kɛ bɛkayia Yizilayɛma, na konle ne zile wɔ Yifelaem kpɔkɛ ne anu.+
7 Devidi+ azonvolɛ ne mɔ lile Yizilayɛma+ anwo zo konim wɔ ɛkɛ, na bɛhunle menli dɔɔnwo kenle zɔhane—menli 20,000.
8 Konle ne dɛlɛle hɔle maanzinli ne anu amuala. Menli dɔɔnwo noko wule kpɔkɛ ne anu dɛlale menli mɔɔ dɔle dadeɛ nloa kenle zɔhane la.
9 Akee Abesalɛm nwunle kɛ Devidi azonvolɛ ne mɔ ɛlɛba arayia ye. Ɛnee Abesalɛm de ɛkpɔnwɔndua* zo, na ɛkpɔnwɔndua ne hɔvale baka kpole bie mɔɔ lɛ ngane buzuu la abo, na ɔ ti hɔtosale baka kpole ne ngane ne anu, yemɔti ɔzinzele anwomanyunlu* na ɛkpɔnwɔndua ne mɔɔ ɔde zo la pɛle nu hɔle.
10 Awie nwunle ye na ɔhɔhanle ɔhilele Dwowabe+ kɛ: “Nea! Menwu Abesalɛm kɛ ɔhenda baka kpole bie azo.”
11 Dwowabe buale nrenyia ne mɔɔ nwunle ye la kɛ: “Saa ɛnwunle ye a, ɛnee duzu ati a wɔambɔ ye wɔangu ye ɛkɛ ne ala ɛ? Anrɛɛ mebava anyelielɛ meamaa wɔ dwɛtɛ fufule bulu nee bɛlɛte.”
12 Noko nrenyia ne zele Dwowabe kɛ: “Saa bɛmaa me dwɛtɛ fufule 1,000 bɔbɔ a, menrɛhola menrɛva me sa menrɛha belemgbunli ne ara ne, ɔluakɛ yɛdele kɛ belemgbunli ne hanle ɔ nwo edwɛkɛ hilele ɛdawɔ nee Abehyae yɛɛ Yetaye kɛ, ‘Bɛ nuhua ko biala ɛnlea kpavolɛ Abesalɛm boɛ.’+
13 Saa meandie yɛɛ mengunle ye a,* anrɛɛ kɛ ɔde ye biala la belemgbunli ne bade yɛɛ anrɛɛ ɛnrɛbɔ me nwo bane.”
14 Na Dwowabe hanle kɛ: “Menrɛzɛkye mekɛ bieko wɔ ɛ nwo!” Ɔti ɔvale mbaka nsa mɔɔ bɛzinzi ɔ nloa la* ɔlɛle ɔ sa nu na ɔvale ɔhɔwowɔle Abesalɛm akɛnra zo* wɔ mekɛ mɔɔ ɔ nye gyi zo na ɔhenda baka kpole ne azo la.
15 Akee azonvolɛ bulu mɔɔ soa Dwowabe konle ninyɛne ne la rabobɔle Abesalɛm too ɔwule.+
16 Akee Dwowabe bɔle aweɛne ne, na menli ne gyakyile Yizilayɛma ɛvoanlɛ; Dwowabe maanle bɛgyakyile konle ne.
17 Bɛyele Abesalɛm na bɛvuandinle ye bɛdole kuma kpole bie anu wɔ kpɔkɛ ne anu na bɛhuohuanle awolɛ edukue kpole bie wɔ ɔ nwo zo.+ Na Yizilayɛma kɔsɔɔti nriandile hɔle bɛ azua nu.
18 Mekɛ mɔɔ Abesalɛm de aze la, ɔyɛle pila bie na ɔkpɔnlanle ye wɔ Belemgbunli Bɔnza ne anu+ ɔmaanle ɔ nwo, ɔluakɛ ɔhanle kɛ: “Menlɛ ralɛ nrenyia mɔɔ bamaa bɛahakye me duma a.”+ Yemɔti ɔvale pila ne ɔdonle ɔ nwo, na bɛvɛlɛle ye Abesalɛm Ngakyedeɛ too yeradwu ɛnɛ.
19 Zeedɔko ara Ahaemaze+ hanle kɛ: “Mesɛlɛ wɔ, maa menriandi mengɔmbɔ belemgbunli ne amaneɛ, ɔluakɛ Gyihova ɛli pɛlepɛle ɛmaa ye na yelie ye yevi ye kpɔvolɛma asa anu.”+
20 Noko Dwowabe zele ye kɛ: “Tɛ ɛdawɔ a ɛkabɔ amaneɛ ɛnɛ a. Ɛbahola wɔabɔ amaneɛ ne kenle fofolɛ, noko ɛnɛ, tɛ ɛdawɔ a ɛkabɔ amaneɛ ne a, ɔluakɛ belemgbunli mumua ne ara ɛwu.”+
21 Akee Dwowabe zele Kuhyenli+ bie kɛ: “Kɔha mɔɔ wɔnwu ye la kile belemgbunli ne.” Na Kuhyenli ne bɔle ɔ ti aze maanle Dwowabe na ɔnriandile ɔhɔle.
22 Zeedɔko ara Ahaemaze zele Dwowabe bieko kɛ: “Maa mɔɔ kɛzi biala la ɛzi, mesɛlɛ wɔ maa medame noko menriandi menli Kuhyenli ne anzi.” Noko Dwowabe hanle kɛ: “Me ra, duzu ati a ɛnriandi wɔahɔ wɔ mekɛ mɔɔ amaneɛ biala ɛnle ɛkɛ mɔɔ ɛkabɔ la ɛ?”
23 Ɔhanle ye bieko kɛ: “Maa mɔɔ kɛzi la ɛzi, maa mengɔ.” Ɔti Dwowabe zele ye kɛ: “Nriandi kɔ!” Na Ahaemaze luale adenle ne mɔɔ kɔ Dwɔdan maangyeba ne anu* la azo nriandile na ɔhɔzenle Kuhyenli ne anwo.
24 Ɛnee Devidi de suakpole ne nlenkɛ mgbole nwiɔ ne avinli,+ na sinzavolɛ+ ne hɔle anlenkɛ kpole ne mɔɔ wɔ bane ne anwo la ati zo. Ɔmaanle ɔ nye zo na ɔnwunle kɛ awie bie angome ɛlɛnriandi ara.
25 Ɔti sinzavolɛ ne deanle nu hanle hilele belemgbunli ne. Na belemgbunli ne hanle kɛ: “Saa ɔ ngomekye a, ɛnee ɔ nee amaneɛ lua.” Mɔɔ ɔlɛbikye ɛkɛ ne kpalɛ la,
26 sinzavolɛ ne nwunle kɛ awie bieko ɛlɛnriandi ara. Akee sinzavolɛ ne vɛlɛle ahenle mɔɔ sinza anlenkɛ kpole ne la kɛ: “Nea! Awie bieko angome ɛlɛnriandi ara!” Belemgbunli ne hanle kɛ: “Ɔdaye noko ɔ nee amaneɛ lua.”
27 Sinzavolɛ ne hanle kɛ: “Menwu kɛ ahenle mɔɔ limoa la nriandi kɛ Zeedɔko ara Ahaemaze+ la.” Ɔti belemgbunli ne hanle kɛ: “Ɔle sonlakpalɛ, na ɔlɛfa amaneɛ kpalɛ yeara.”
28 Akee Ahaemaze deanle nu zele belemgbunli ne kɛ: “Debie biala le kpalɛ!” Ɔbɔle ɔ ti aze ɔmaanle belemgbunli ne na ɔbutule ɔ nyunlu aze. Akee ɔhanle kɛ: “Ayɛlɛyelɛ ɛha Gyihova wɔ Nyamenle ne mɔɔ ɛye menli mɔɔ dele me menle belemgbunli anwo atua* la ɛwula ɔ sa nu la!”+
29 Noko belemgbunli ne bizale kɛ: “Kɛzi debie biala hɔle ye maanle kpavolɛ Abesalɛm ɛ?” Na Ahaemaze hanle kɛ: “Mɔɔ Dwowabe zoanle belemgbunli sonvolɛ ne nee medame la, menwunle begyebegye ne mɔɔ ɛlɛkɔ zo la, noko ɛnee menze deɛ holɛ ko ne.”+
30 Yemɔti belemgbunli ne hanle kɛ: “Gyinla ahane ɛke.” Yemɔti ɔhɔgyinlanle ahane ɛkɛ.
31 Akee Kuhyenli ne rale,+ na ɔhanle kɛ: “Maa me menle belemgbunli ɛdie nrɛlaleɛ ɛhye: Ɛnɛ, Gyihova ɛli pɛlepɛle ɛmaa wɔ na yelie wɔ yevi menli kɔsɔɔti mɔɔ dele ɛ nwo atua la asa anu.”+
32 Noko belemgbunli ne bizale Kuhyenli ne kɛ: “Kɛzi debie biala hɔle ye maanle kpavolɛ Abesalɛm ɛ?” Na Kuhyenli ne hanle kɛ: “Maa me menle belemgbunli agbɔvolɛ nee menli kɔsɔɔti mɔɔ dele ɛ nwo atua kɛ bɛyɛ wɔ ɛtane la ɛyɛ kɛ kpavolɛ ne la!”+
33 Ɛhye gyegyele belemgbunli ne, na ɔhɔle ekpumgbunli ne mɔɔ wɔ anlenkɛ kpole ne ati zo la anu na ɔzunle, mɔɔ ɔlɛkɔ la ɛnee ɔlɛka kɛ: “Me ra Abesalɛm, me ra ye, me ra Abesalɛm! Ɛnee ɛmmaa menwu mengyakyi wɔ, me ra Abesalɛm, me ra ye o!”+
