11 Ishboshet nyɛ we nɛ e de Abner nɔ kpa ko hu; ejakaa e ye lɛ gbeye.

12 Abner tsɔ kɛ ya Hebron he nɛ David ngɛ ɔ ke a ya bi lɛ ke, “Zugba a, mɛnɔ lɛ yeɔ nɔ?” E ya nɔ nɛ e de ke, “Mo ha nɛ waa so somi ko, nɛ ma piɛ o he kɛ gbla Israel tsuo kɛ ba o ngɔ.”

14 ⓕ David tsɔ ke a ya de Saul bi Ishboshet hu ke, “Moo kpale ye yo Mikal ɔ ba ha mi; Filisti bi a mɔmlɔtɔ lafa kake nɛ i kɛ pee e he ní.”

15 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Ishboshet tsɔ ya kpaka yo ɔ kɛ je e huno Paltiel, Laish bi ɔ ngɔ kɛ ba.

16 Paltiel fo ya kɛ nyɛɛ yo ɔ se hluu kɛ ya su Bahurim tɔɔ. Se Abner de lɛ ke, “Kpale o se esɔesɔ!” Nɛ e kpale e se.

17 Abner tsɛ Israel nimeli ɔmɛ kpe, nɛ e de mɛ ke, “Be saii ji nɛ ɔ, jinɛ nyɛ ngɛ David se blɔ hlae nɛ nyɛɛ wo lɛ matsɛ.

18 Jehanɛ lɛɛ be ɔ su; nyɛ tsu he ní. Nyɛ kai kaa Yawɛ wo David si ke, ‘Ma gu ye tsɔlɔ David nine nɔ kɛ kpɔ ye ma, Israel kɛ je Filisti bi ɔmɛ, kɛ a he nyɛli ɔmɛ tsuo a dɛ mi.’ ”

19 Abner kɛ Benyamin wɛtso ɔ hu ya na ní sɛɛmi. Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e ya Hebron nɛ e ya bɔ David nɔ́ tsuaa nɔ́ nɛ Israel kɛ Benyamin we ɔ wo si ke a maa pee ɔ.

20 Benɛ Abner ba David ngɔ ngɛ Hebron ɔ, nyumuhi nyingmi enyɔ piɛ e he kɛ ba; nɛ David tsɛ mɛ ní yemi.

21 Abner de David ke, “Jehanɛ, i yaa nɛ ma ya bua Israel ma a tsuo nya kɛ ba mo, ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ o ngɔ. A maa kplɛɛ nɛ o ye a nɔ matsɛ; kɛkɛ o nine maa su nɔ́ nɛ o ngɛ hlae ɔ nɔ, nɛ o maa ye zugba a tsuo nɔ.” Enɛ ɔ se ɔ, David wo Abner blɔ; nɛ e ho ngɛ he jɔmi mi.

A gbe Abner

22 E kɛ we nɛ Yoab kɛ David tsɔli kpa komɛ ba lejɛ ɔ. A ya tua ni komɛ nɛ a kpɔ a níhi babauu kɛ ba. Se a ba na we Abner ngɛ David ngɔ ngɛ Hebron, ejakaa David wo lɛ blɔ momo, nɛ e je ngɛ he jɔmi mi.

23 Yoab kɛ e we bi ɔmɛ a lejɛ ɔ sumi pɛ nɛ a bɔ lɛ amaniɛ ke Ner binyumu Abner ba Matsɛ David ngɔ, nɛ David wo lɛ blɔ kɛ ho ngɛ he jɔmi mi.

24 Enɛ ɔ he je ɔ, Yoab ya nɛ e ya de matsɛ ɔ ke, “Mɛni o pee nɛ ɔ? Hyɛ kaa Abner ba o ngɔ! Mɛni he je o ngmɛɛ e he nɛ e ho ɔ?

25 Ná nɛ o le kaa Ner bi Abner ɔ, sisimi e ba sisi mo nɛ e kɛ le o yami kɛ bami, kɛ nɔ́ tsuaa nɔ́ nɛ o ngɛ pee.”

26 Benɛ Yoab je David ngɔ ɔ, e tsɔ nihi kɛ nyɛɛ Abner se. Ni ɔmɛ ya ná lɛ ngɛ Sira nyu vu ɔ he, nɛ a kpale lɛ kɛ ba. Se David li he nɔ́ ko.

27 Benɛ Abner kpale kɛ ba Hebron ɔ, Yoab nu e nine si nɛ e kɛ lɛ ho ma a agbo ɔ nya ya kaa nɔ́ nɛ e kɛ lɛ yaa dami. Yoab gbɔ Abner muklii mi nɔ́ nɛ e gbe lɛ ngɛ lejɛ ɔ, ngɛ e nyɛmi Asahel muɔ nɛ Abner pue si ɔ he.

28 Pee se benɛ David ba nu sane ɔ he ɔ, e de ke, “Yawɛ le kaa Ner bi Abner muɔ si nɛ a pue nɛ ɔ he musu ko musu ko tloo we i kɛ ye nɔ yemi sisi bi ɔmɛ.

29 Musu ɔ nɛ tloo Yoab kɛ e tsɛ we ɔ tsuo. Se tso mi hiɔtsɛ, loo nɔ ko nɛ he womi nɔ hiɔ yaya ngɛ e he, loo nyumu nɛ peeɔ e ní kaa yo, loo nɔ nɛ a gbe lɛ ngɛ ta mi, loo hwɔ yeyeetsɛ kó ta Yoab kɛ e nina a we mi gblegbleegble.”

30 Yoab kɛ e nyɛminyumu Abishai gbe Abner, ejakaa lɛ hu e gbe a nyɛminyumu Asahel ngɛ Gibeon ta a mi.

A pu Abner

31 David fa Yoab kɛ e we bi ɔmɛ ke, “Nyɛ hía tade ɔmɛ ngɛ nyɛ he, nɛ nyɛ bu kpekpe ya bo kɛ nyɛ ya, nɛ nyɛɛ wo yana ha Abner.” Matsɛ David nitsɛ nyɛɛ gbogboe ɔ se.

32 Benɛ a ya pu Abner ngɛ Hebron ɔ, matsɛ ɔ fo ya yuuyuuyuu ngɛ yɔkɔ ɔ he; nɛ ma a tsuo wo yana kɛ piɛ e he.

33 Matsɛ David la aywilɛho la nɛ ɔ kɛ nyɛ ya ha Abner: “Anɛ e sa kaa o gbo kaa kuasia gboɔ lo?

34 O nine ɔmɛ ɔ, a tsa fi we mɛ; o nane ɔmɛ hu, a wui mɛ pã. Bɔ nɛ dikali taneɔ nɔ yi ɔ, ja pɛ a gbe mo nɛ ɔ nɛ.” Ma a tsuo wo yana ha Abner ekohu.

35 Ma a nyɛ David nɔ ligbi ɔ tsuo ke e ye nɔ́ ko. Se David ka kita nɛ e de ke, “Ke i wo ye nya mi nɔ́ ko loko pu nɔ si ɔ, Mawu nɛ fia mi nɔ́ nɛ e gbe!”

36 Ma a yɔse nɔ́ nɛ ɔ, nɛ e sa a hɛ mi. Niinɛ, nɔ́ tsuaa nɔ́ nɛ matsɛ ɔ pee ɔ sa ma a hɛ mi saminya.

37 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, David we bi ɔmɛ, kɛ Israel tsuo na le jamɛ a ligbi ɔ kaa David li Ner bi Abner gbenɔ ɔ he nɔ́ ko.
