20 ¹Ɔbarima hunu bi a ne din de Seba, Bikri ba, Benyaminni, wɔ hɔ. Ɔhyɛn torobɛnto no, teɛɛm se, “Yɛnni kyɛfa biara wɔ Dawid mu, yɛnni agyapade biara wɔ Yisai ba no mu! Israelfo, mo nyinaa nkɔ mo ntamadan mu!”

²Enti Israel mmarima nyinaa gyaw Dawid kodii Seba, Bikri ba, akyi; nanso Yuda mmarima de wɔn ho bataa wɔn hene ho, efi Yordan kosi Yerusalem.

³Dawid baa ne fi wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔhene no faa mpenafo du a ɔgyaw wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ efi no, de wɔn too banbɔ ase. Ɔmaa wɔn nea wohia, nanso wanna wɔn ho. Wɔtenaa ɔkyerɛ mu kosii sɛ wowuwui, na wɔtenaa ase sɛ akunafo.

⁴Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Amasa se, “Frɛ Yuda mmarima no ma wɔmmra me nkyɛn nnansa mu, na wo ankasa nso mmra ha.”

⁵Amasa kɔfrɛɛ Yudafo no, nanso ɔkyɛɛ boroo bere a ɔhene no hyɛɛ maa no no so. ⁶Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Abisai se, “Afei Seba, Bikri ba, bɛhaw yɛn asen Absalom. Fa wo wura mmarima no na taa no, anyɛ saa a, ɔbɛduru nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban mu, na wadwane afi yɛn nsam.”

⁷Enti Yoab mmarima, Keretifo, Peletifo ne akofo akɛse no nyinaa fii Yerusalem kɔɔ nʼakyi sɛ wɔrekɔtaa Seba, Bikri ba. ⁸Ɔbo kɛse a ɛwɔ Gibeon no ho no, Amasa behyiaa wɔn. Yoab hyɛɛ nʼakofo atade, na wabɔ abɔso wɔ ne sisi ho a afoa a ɛwɔ ne boha mu sɛn ho; bere a ɔtuu nʼanammɔn kɔɔ anim no, afoa no tew hwee fam. ⁹Yoab ka kyerɛɛ Amasa se, “Me nua, wo ho yɛ?” Yoab de ne nsa nifa sɔɔ Amasa abodwesɛ mu sɛ ɔrebefew nʼano. ¹⁰Amasa anhu afoa a ɛwɔ Yoab nsam no. Yoab de wɔɔ no yafunu mu, na ne nsono guu fam. Wanwɔ no bio, na Amasa wui. Afei Yoab ne ne nua Abisai taa Seba, Bikri ba. ¹¹Yoab mmerante no mu baako gyinaa Amasa ho kae se, “Obiara a ɔpɛ Yoab asɛm, obiara a ɔwɔ Dawid afa no—onni Yoab akyi!” ¹²Amasa da ne mogya mu rebubu ne ho wɔ ɔkwan no mfimfini. Bere a ɔbarima no hui sɛ asraafo no nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ no, ɔtwee Amasa fii ɔkwan no so kɔɔ wuram, na ɔde ntama kataa no so, efisɛ obiara a ɔbaa hɔ no gyinae. ¹³Bere a wɔde no fii ɔkwan no so no, mmarima no nyinaa dii Yoab akyi kɔtaa Seba, Bikri ba. ¹⁴Seba faa Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa mu kosii Abel Bet-Maaka; na Bikrifo no nyinaa nso boaa wɔn ho ano dii nʼakyi. ¹⁵Wɔbaa Abel Bet-Maaka bɛkaa no hyɛɛ hɔ. Wɔpempem dɔte kɔɔ soro tiaa kurow no, na ɛkaa ɔfasu a ɛwɔ abɔnten no ho, bere a Yoab asraafo no nyinaa rebobɔ ɔfasu no sɛ wɔbɛtwiw agu.

¹⁶Afei ɔbaa nyansafo bi fi kurow no mu teɛɛm se, “Muntie! Muntie! Monka nkyerɛ Yoab se, ‘Bra ha na me ne wo nkasa.’” ¹⁷Bere a ɔbɛnee hɔ no, ɔbaa no bisaa se, “Wone Yoab?” Ɔbuae se, “Ɛyɛ me.” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Tie wʼafenaa nsɛm.” Ɔkae se, “Meretie.”

¹⁸Ɔbaa no kae se, “Tete no na wɔka se, ‘Monkobisa afotu wɔ Abel,’ na ɛno na ɛsiesie asɛm no. ¹⁹Me ka asomdwoefo ne nokwafo a wɔwɔ Israel no ho. Worepɛ sɛ wosɛe kurow a ɛyɛ ɛna wɔ Israel. Adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ womene yɛn Agya agyapade?” ^a a v19 ‘Kurow a ɛyɛ ɛna’ yɛ kuropɔn titiriw wɔ mantam bi mu a nkurow nketewa de wɔn ani to so sɛ ɛbɛkyerɛ wɔn kwan na abɔ wɔn ho ban.

²⁰Yoab buae se, “Ɛmmra me so da, ɛmmra me so da, sɛ mɛmene anaa masɛe! ²¹Ɛnte saa. Na mmom Seba, Bikri ba, a ofi Efraim mmepɔ so no, atew atua atia ɔhene, atia Dawid. Momfa ɔbarima baako yi mma me, na mɛtwe me ho afi kurow no ho.” Ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Wɔbɛtow ne ti afa ɔfasu no so ama wo.”

²²Ɔbaa no de ne nyansa nhyehyɛe kɔɔ nnipa no nyinaa nkyɛn. Wotwaa Seba, Bikri ba, ti, tow kyerɛɛ Yoab. Ɔhyɛn torobɛnto no, na wɔbɔɔ apete fii kurow no ho, obiara kɔɔ ne fi. Yoab san kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem.

²³Yoab dii Israel asraafo nyinaa anim; Benaia, Yehoiada ba, dii Keretifo ne Peletifo anim. ²⁴Adoram hwɛɛ ɔhyɛ adwuma so; Yehosafat, Ahilud ba, yɛ abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo; ²⁵Sewa yɛ ɔkyerɛwfo; na Sadok ne Abiatar yɛ asɔfo; ²⁶na Yairni Ira nso yɛ Dawid sɔfo.
