2 Samueli 21
1 Pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Davide kunali njala kwa zaka zitatu zotsatana. Kotero Davide anapemphera kwa Yehova. Yehova anati, “Izi zachitika chifukwa chakuti Sauli ndi banja lake akanali ndi mlandu wakupha Agibiyoni.”
And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 Mfumu inayitanitsa Agibiyoni ndipo inayankhula nawo. (Tsono Agibiyoni sanali Aisraeli, koma otsala mwa Aamori. Aisraeli analumbira kuwasiya ndi moyo, koma Sauli chifukwa cha chikondi cha pa Israeli ndi Yuda, anafuna kuwawonongeratu).
And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
3 Davide anafunsa Agibiyoni kuti, “Kodi ine ndikuchitireni chiyani? Ndipepese bwanji kuti inu mudalitse cholowa cha Yehova?”
indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
4 Agibiyoni anamuyankha kuti, “Ife tilibe ufulu woti nʼkulamula Sauli ndi banja lake kuti atipatse siliva kapena golide, tilibenso ufulu woti nʼkupha wina aliyense mu Israeli.” Davide anafunsa, “Mukufuna ine ndikuchitireni chiyani?”
And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
5 Iwo anayankha mfumu kuti, “Tsono za munthu amene anatiwononga ndi kukonza chiwembu choti titheretu ndi kukhala wopanda malo mu Israeli,
And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel—
6 mutipatse adzukulu ake aamuna asanu ndi awiri kuti tiwaphe ndi kuwapereka pamaso pa Yehova ku Gibeya wa Sauli, wosankhidwa wa Yehova.” Choncho mfumu inati, “Ine ndidzakupatsani.”
let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
7 Koma mfumu inasunga Mefiboseti mwana wa Yonatani, mwana wa Sauli, chifukwa cha kulumbira kumene mfumu Davide ndi Yonatani mwana wa Sauli anachita pamaso pa Yehova.
and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
8 Ndipo mfumu inatenga Arimoni ndi Mefiboseti, ana aamuna awiri a Rizipa, mwana wamkazi wa Ayiwa, amene anaberekera Sauli pamodzi ndi ana asanu a Merabi mwana wamkazi wa Sauli, amene anabereka Adirieli mwana wa Barizilai Mmeholati.
and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
9 Iye anawapereka kwa anthu a ku Gibiyoni, amene anawapha nawayika pa phiri la Yehova. Onse asanu ndi awiri anafera limodzi. Iwo anaphedwa masiku oyamba kukolola barele.
and gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
10 Rizipa mwana wamkazi wa Ayiwa anatenga chiguduli ndi kudziyalira pa mwala (pamene panali mitemboyo). Kuyambira nthawi yoyamba kukolola mpaka pamene mvula inayambanso kugwa, iye sanalole kuti mbalame zikhudze mitemboyo masana kapena nyama zakuthengo usiku.
And Rizpah daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
11 Davide atawuzidwa zimene Rizipa mwana wamkazi wa Ayiwa, mzikazi wa Sauli anachita,
And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has done,
12 anapita kukatenga mafupa a Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani kwa anthu a ku Yabesi Giliyadi (iwo anawatenga mwamseri kuchoka pabwalo la ku Beti-Sani, kumene Afilisti anawapachika atapha Sauli ku Gilibowa).
and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
13 Davide anakatenga mafupa a Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani kumeneko ndiponso mafupa otayidwa a amene anaphedwa nawasonkhanitsa pamodzi.
and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
14 Iwo anayika mafupa a Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani mʼmanda a Kisi abambo ake a Sauli ku Zera mʼdziko la Benjamini, ndipo anachita zonse zimene mfumu inalamula. Atachita zimenezi, Mulungu anayankha pemphero lopempherera dzikolo.
and bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
15 Nthawi inanso panali nkhondo pakati pa Afilisti ndi Aisraeli, Davide anapita ndi ankhondo ake kukamenyana ndi Afilisti ndipo iye anatopa kwambiri.
And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
16 Ndipo Isibi-Benobi, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Rafa, amene mkondo wake unkalemera makilogalamu atatu ndi theka ndipo analinso ndi lupanga latsopano, anati adzapha Davide.
and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking David,
17 Koma Abisai mwana wa Zeruya anabwera kudzapulumutsa Davide. Iye anamukantha Mfilisitiyo ndi kumupha. Pamenepo asilikali a Davide analumbira kwa iye kuti, “Inu simudzapita nafenso ku nkhondo, kuti nyale ya Israeli isadzazimitsidwe.”
and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Patapita nthawi, panali nkhondo ina ndi Afilisti ku Gobu. Pa nthawi imeneyo Sibekai Mhusati anapha Safu, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Arefai.
And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
19 Pa nkhondo inanso ndi Afilisti ku Gobu, Elihanani mwana wa Yaare-Oregimu wa ku Betelehemu anapha Goliati Mgiti, amene anali ndi mkondo ngati ndodo yowombera nsalu.
And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
20 Pa nkhondo inanso imene inachitika ku Gati panali munthu wina wamtali kwambiri wa zala zisanu ndi chimodzi mʼmanja ndi mʼmapazi ndipo zonse pamodzi zinalipo 24. Iyenso anali chidzukulu cha Rafa.
And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
21 Pamene iye ankanyoza Aisraeli, Yonatani mwana wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide anamupha.
and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
22 Anthu anayi amenewa anali zidzukulu za Rafa ku Gati, ndipo onse anaphedwa ndi Davide ndi ankhondo ake.
these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
