17 ¹Afei Ahitofel ka kyerɛɛ Absalom se, “Ma minyi mmarima 12,000, na mensɔre anadwo yi nkɔtiw Dawid. ²Mɛtow ahyɛ no so bere a wabrɛ na ne ho yɛ mmerɛw, mɛma ehu aka no, na ne nkurɔfo nyinaa bɛguan; afei ɔhene no nko ara na mɛkum no. ³Mɛsan de nkurɔfo no nyinaa aba wo nkyɛn. Onipa koro a wohwehwɛ no no, sɛ owu a, obiara bɛsan aba, na nkurɔfo no nyinaa bɛtena asomdwoe mu.”

⁴Saa adwene yi yɛɛ Absalom ne Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa fɛ. ⁵Absalom kae se, “Frɛ Husai Arkini no nso, na yɛntie nea ɔno nso bɛka.”

⁶Bere a Husai baa ne nkyɛn no, Absalom kae se, “Saa na Ahitofel tuu fo. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ nea ɔka no? Sɛ ɛnte saa a, ka wo de.”

⁷Husai ka kyerɛɛ Absalom se, “Afotu a Ahitofel de ama no nyɛ papa saa bere yi. ⁸Husai toaa so se, “Wunim wʼagya ne ne mmarima; wɔyɛ akofo a wɔn bo afu, te sɛ sisi a wɔawia ne mma wɔ wuram. Wʼagya yɛ ɔkofo a ɔwɔ osuahu wɔ ɔko mu; ɔrenna akofo no nkyɛn.” ⁹Mpo seesei wahintaw wɔ amoa bi mu anaa baabi foforo. Sɛ wo mmarima no bi hwe ase kan a, obiara a ɔbɛte no bɛka se, ‘Wɔakunkum Absalom mmarima!’ ¹⁰Afei ɔbarima a ɔwɔ akokoɔduro sen biara, a ne koma te sɛ gyata koma no mpo, ehu bɛma ne koma anan, efisɛ Israel nyinaa nim sɛ wʼagya yɛ ɔkofo, na wɔn a wɔka ne ho no yɛ akokoɔdurofo. ¹¹Enti me afotu ni: Boaboa Israel nyinaa ano ma wɔmmra wo nkyɛn, efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba, wɔn dodow te sɛ mpoano anwea, na wo ankasa di anim kɔ ɔko no mu. ¹²Yɛbɛto no baabiara a ɔwɔ, yɛbɛbɔ no so te sɛ obosu a ɛbɔ asase so, na yɛrennyaw ɔno anaa ne mmarima no mu baako mpo nkwa. ¹³Sɛ ɔtwe ne ho kɔ kurow bi mu a, Israel nyinaa de ahama bɛba hɔ, na yɛbɛtwe kurow no akɔ bon no mu kosi sɛ abo ketewa baako mpo renka hɔ.”

¹⁴Absalom ne Israel mmarima nyinaa kae se, “Husai Arkini no afotu ye sen Ahitofel de.” Efisɛ na yɛn Agya asi ne bo sɛ ɔbɛsɛe Ahitofel afotu pa no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn Agya de amanehunu bɛba Absalom so.

¹⁵Husai ka kyerɛɛ asɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar se, “Sɛnea Ahitofel tuu Absalom ne Israel mpanyimfo fo ni, na sɛnea me nso metuu fo ni. ¹⁶Afei somma ntɛm nkɔka nkyerɛ Dawid se, ‘Ntena sare so asubɔnten twabea no ho anadwo yi; twa kɔ agya ntɛm ara, anyɛ saa a, wɔbɛmene ɔhene ne nkurɔfo a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa.’”

¹⁷Yonatan ne Ahimaas tenaa En-Rogel retwɛn; abaawa bi kɔbɔ wɔn amanneɛ, na wɔn nso kɔbɔ ɔhene Dawid amanneɛ, efisɛ na wontumi mma kurow no mu sɛ obi bɛhu wɔn. ¹⁸Nanso aberante bi huu wɔn, na ɔkɔbɔɔ Absalom amanneɛ. Enti wɔn baanu no yɛɛ ntɛm fii hɔ kɔduu ɔbarima bi fi wɔ Bahurim; na ɔwɔ abura wɔ ne fi adihɔ, na wɔsianee kɔɔ mu. ¹⁹Ɔbarima no yere de ade bi trɛw kataa abura no ano, na ɔhwiee aburow guu so, enti obiara anhu biribi. ²⁰Bere a Absalom nkoa no baa ɔbaa no nkyɛn wɔ fie hɔ no, wobisaa se, “Ɛhe na Ahimaas ne Yonatan wɔ?” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Wɔatwa asuwa no.” Mmarima no hwehwɛɛ, nanso wɔanhu obiara, na wɔsan kɔɔ Yerusalem.

²¹Wofii hɔ akyi no, wɔn baanu no foro fii abura no mu, na wɔkɔbɔɔ ɔhene Dawid amanneɛ. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre na twa asu no ntɛm, efisɛ Ahitofel abɔ saa pɔw yi atia wo.”

²²Enti Dawid ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa sɔree twaa Yordan. Ansa na ade bɛkye no, na obiara ankasa a ontwaa Yordan no.

²³Bere a Ahitofel huu sɛ wɔanni nʼafotu no so no, ɔde nkɛntɛ guu nʼafurum so, na ɔkɔɔ ne fi wɔ ne kurow mu. Ɔhyehyɛɛ ne fi, na afei ɔsɛn ne ho. Owui, na wosiee no wɔ nʼagya ɔboda mu.

²⁴Dawid baa Mahanaim, bere a Absalom ne Israel mmarima nyinaa twaa Yordan. ²⁵Absalom de Amasa sii akofo no so wɔ Yoab anan mu. Amasa agya ne Itra Israelni, a ɔwaree Abigail, Nahas babea, Seruia nuabea, a ɔyɛ Yoab na. ²⁶Israel ne Absalom bɔɔ nsraban wɔ Gilead asase so.

²⁷Bere a Dawid duu Mahanaim no, Sobi, Nahas ba a ofi Amonfo kurow Raba mu, ne Makir, Amiel ba a ofi Lo-Debar, ne Barsilai Gileadni a ofi Rogelim, ²⁸de mpa, nkankua ne nkuku, ne awi, atoko, esiam, aburow a wɔatoto, adua ne ayɛ, ²⁹ɛwo, nufusu a apɔ, nguan ne anantwi nufusu kyiisi brɛɛ Dawid ne ne nkurɔfo sɛ wonnidi, efisɛ wɔkae se, “Ɔkɔm de nkurɔfo no, wɔabrɛ, na sukɔm de wɔn wɔ sare so.”
