2 Samuel 18
1 Hichun lengpa David chun apan pi sepai techu asim doh soh keiyin, achunguva mi asang sang chunga lamkai ding, aja ja chunga lamkai ding agoltoh soh kei tan ahi.
Daudi akakusanya watu aliokuwa nao na kuweka majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia.
2 David chun sepai hop thum'a hop khat chu Joab alamkai sah in, hop thum'a hop khatma chu Joab sopi pa Zeruiah chapa Abishai chu alamkai sah kit in, chuteng le hop thum'a hop khat kit ma chu Gath mi Ittai chu alamkai sah in; hichun miho koma chun hitin aseiye, “Keima tah jong nangho toh gal ikon khom diu ahi,” ati.
Daudi akatuma vikosi vya askari: theluthi moja ilikuwa chini ya amri ya Yoabu, theluthi ya pili chini ya Abishai mwana wa Seruya nduguye Yoabu, na theluthi ya tatu chini ya Itai, Mgiti. Mfalme akaviambia vikosi, “Hakika mimi mwenyewe nitakwenda pamoja nanyi.”
3 Ahivangin mipin aseiyin, “Nangma gal na kon doh louhel ding ahibouve. Ijeh-inem itileh keiho hi hung galjam u jong leng, amahon iman igel khoh pouvin te, keiho akeh khat hel thi jeng tau jong leng amahon ima agel deh lou diu ahi. Nangma vang keiho mi sang som to kibang nahi; chujongle nangman khopi sunga kona kei ho panpi mi nahin sol thojoh ding hi thilphajo ahi,” atiuve.
Lakini watu wakasema, “Haikupasi kwenda, ikiwa sisi tutalazimika kukimbia, wao hawatatujali. Hata kama nusu yetu tukifa hawatajali, lakini wewe una thamani ya watu kama sisi kumi elfu. Ingekuwa bora zaidi kwako basi kutupatia msaada kutoka mjini.”
4 Hichun lengpan jong hitin aseiye, “Ipi hita jongle nang ho dinga aphapen tah hi ding chu keiman kabol jeng ding ahi,” atitai. Hijeh chun lengpa chu kelkot phunga ading den in, sepai te vang chu aja jan asang sang in akitol doh tau’ve.
Mfalme akajibu, “Nitafanya lolote linaloonekana jema zaidi kwenu.” Kwa hiyo mfalme akasimama kando ya lango wakati watu wote wakitoka nje kwa makundi ya mamia na maelfu.
5 Chuin lengpan Joab, Abishai chule Ittai chu ahil dem demin, “Keima ja nan gollhangpa Absalom chu lung neng tah in hin bol’uvin,” ati. Absalom chung changa lengpan sepai lamkai mithum athu lhah na chu mipin abonchan aja soh keiuve.
Mfalme akawaamuru Yoabu, Abishai na Itai, “Kuweni wapole kwa kijana Absalomu kwa ajili yangu.” Vikosi vyote vikasikia mfalme akitoa amri kwa kila jemadari kumhusu Absalomu.
6 Hiti hin sepai techu gamlah a Israel chate toh kisat din akon doh tao’ve; hichea chun Ephraim mite gamsung gammang lah a gal akisat tauvin ahi.
Jeshi likatoka kwenda kwenye uwanja wa vita kupigana na Israeli, hivyo vita vikapiganwa katika msitu wa Efraimu.
7 David sepai ten Israel mite chu ajou taove, hiche nikho a mi atha u chu atam lheh jeng in, mihem sang som ni alhinge.
Huko jeshi la Israeli likashindwa na watu wa Daudi, siku hiyo majeruhi walikuwa wengi kiasi cha watu ishirini elfu.
8 Gamsung pumpia gal a kithe chansoh kei tan, chule chemjam a kisat lih sang in gammang lah a ohlih mihem atamjon ahi.
Vita vikaenea nchi nzima, watu wengi zaidi wakifia msituni siku hiyo kuliko waliouawa kwa upanga.
9 Absalom jong chun David sepaite atoh kha khel khel’in ahi. Absalom chu asakol pol chunga hung tou ahin, hichun sakol pol chu gangpi thing lentah khat abah kai nel nul lah khat a chun a lhailut’in abah lah ahopan ahileh, Absalom chu aluchang gangpi bah lah a a-oh den tai chule sakol pol chun adalhan anoiya ache pai tan ahi.
Basi ikawa Absalomu alikutana na watu wa Daudi. Yeye alikuwa amepanda nyumbu wake, naye nyumbu alipopita chini ya matawi yaliyosongana ya mwaloni mkubwa, kichwa cha Absalomu kilinaswa kwenye mti. Akaachwa akiningʼinia hewani, wakati nyumbu aliyekuwa amempanda aliendelea kwenda.
10 David sepai khat chun Absalom chu amudoh phat’in Joab koma asei peh in; “Ven, keiman Absalom chu gangpi phung bah lah a akikhai den kamui,” ati.
Mmojawapo wa wale watu alipoona, akamwambia Yoabu, “Nimemwona Absalomu akiningʼinia kwenye mti wa mwaloni.”
11 Joab jong chun akoma thuseipa chu adong pai in, “ipi Absalom kamui natim? Ibola hikoma chu tol'a na satlup da ham? Chutin hinbol le chun keiman dangka shekel som khat beh le kong gah khat nape dinga chu,” ati.
Yoabu akamwambia huyo mtu, “Nini! Ulimwona Absalomu? Kwa nini hukumpiga papo hapo mpaka chini? Ndipo ningekupa shekeli kumi za fedha na mkanda wa askari shujaa.”
12 Ahivang in mipa chun Joab koma asei kit e, “Keiman dangka shekel sang khat kamu ding hijong leh lengpa chapa tha na ding in kakhut lam hih hel inge; ijeh-inem itileh keiho jah tah in jong lengpan nangma le Abi’shai chule Ittai thu nape cheh-uvin, ‘Keima ja nan gollhangpa Absalom chu ahing in hin hoi teitei un,’ tin aseibouve.
Lakini huyo mtu akamjibu Yoabu, “Hata kama ningepimiwa shekeli 1,000 mikononi mwangu, nisingeinua mkono wangu dhidi ya mwana wa mfalme. Tukiwa tunasikia, mfalme alikuagiza wewe na Abishai pamoja na Itai, akisema, ‘Mlindeni kijana Absalomu kwa ajili yangu.’
13 Lang khatma keiman kathi le kathi, tin jou le nal’in hin bol jeng jong leng, lengpa mudin imacha akisel theiya aum deh poi, chutengle nangman nang ding bou nagel a neidon lou hel ding ahi,” ati.
Nami kama ningekuwa nimemtendea kwa hila, na hakuna lolote linalofichika kwa mfalme, wewe mwenyewe ungejitenga nami.”
14 Hichun Joab in asei paiyin, “Keiman hitobang hin nangma toh phat sumang mang ponge,” atin, gangpi phung bah lah a Absalom ahinga aum nah laiya ahileh tin Joab chun tengcha achom thum alan agah pei a ahileh Absalom lungchang don tah a akiphut tai.
Yoabu akasema, “Mimi sitapoteza muda hapa pamoja nawe.” Hivyo akachukua mikuki mitatu mkononi mwake, akamchoma Absalomu nayo moyoni alipokuwa angali hai akiningʼinia katika ule mwaloni.
15 Chuin Joab galvon poa pang gollhang sepai som khat’in Absalom aumkim’uvin ajep’un athat tauve.
Nao wabeba silaha kumi wa Yoabu wakamzunguka Absalomu, wakampiga na kumuua.
16 Chuin Joab chun saki pengkul amut’in ahi leh sepai ho chu Israel te nung adel nauva konin ahung kinungle soh keitauve.
Kisha Yoabu akapiga tarumbeta, navyo vikosi vikaacha kuwafuata Israeli, kwa maana Yoabu aliwasimamisha.
17 Chuin amahon Absalom long chu adom lhauvin gammang lah a kokhuh lentah khat sunga aleh lut’uvin, achunga song tum tampi asep khum’uvin ahi; Israel chate vang chu ama ama inlam cheh a akijam lut sohtauvin ahi.
Wakamchukua Absalomu, wakamtupa katika shimo kubwa huko msituni na kulundika lundo kubwa la mawe juu yake. Huko nyuma, Waisraeli wote wakakimbilia nyumbani kwao.
18 Chule Absalom hin ahinlaiyin lengpa phaicham a chun khom khat ana phut doh in ahi; ijeh-inem itileh aman ana seiye, “Keiman kamin aman louna ding in chapa la kaneipon,” atin, akhom phudoh chu ama min aputsah in, hijeh chun hiche hi tuni gei in Absalom kihet jingna tin akiseiye.
Wakati wa uhai wa Absalomu alikuwa amechukua nguzo na kuisimamisha katika Bonde la Mfalme, kwa maana alifikiri, “Sina mwana atakayeendeleza kumbukumbu ya jina langu.” Akaita nguzo hiyo kwa jina lake mwenyewe. Nayo inaitwa Mnara wa Ukumbusho wa Absalomu mpaka leo.
19 Chujouvin Zadok chapa Ahimaaz kitipa hin “Keima lhai jing ting, Pakaiyin amelmate khut’a kon in am, a ahuh doh tai, tin lengpa David koma ga seipeh tang e,” ati.
Basi Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki akasema, “Niruhusu mimi nikimbie na kumpelekea mfalme habari kwamba Bwana amemwokoa mfalme kutoka mikononi mwa adui zake.”
20 Ahinla Joab chun ajah a aseiye, “Tuni nangma thupole a napan thei lou ding ahi; nidang dang leh thupon pang nan nate, tunia vang thupo a napan thei louhel ding ahi; ijeh-inem itileh lengpa chapa athi tai,” ati.
Yoabu akamwambia Ahimaasi, “Leo si wewe utakayepeleka habari. Unaweza kupeleka habari wakati mwingine, lakini leo haikupasi kupeleka, kwa sababu mwana wa mfalme amekufa.”
21 Chuin Joab chun mipa koma, “Nangma chen lang nathil mubang bang chun, lengpa ga seipeh tan,’ ati. Chuin mipa jong chu salam bolnan akun in, chujouvin alhai jel tai.
Ndipo Yoabu akamwambia mtu mmoja Mkushi, “Nenda, ukamwambie mfalme kile ulichoona.” Mkushi akasujudu mbele ya Yoabu akaondoka mbio.
22 Chujouvin jong Ahimaaz kitipa le Zadok chapa chun Joab koma hitin asei kit na lai e, “Asoh soh sohjeng hen, kei jong mipa nung a khun lhai tang e,’ ati kit leuvin ahi. Hichun Joab chun aphoh in, “Nathupoh jeh a kipaman bon mulou dinga, ipi pen deichat na a nangma nalhai jeng ding ham chapa?” ati.
Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki akamwambia tena Yoabu, “Liwalo na liwe, tafadhali niruhusu nikimbie nyuma ya huyo Mkushi.” Lakini Yoabu akajibu, “Mwanangu, mbona wataka kwenda? Wewe huna habari yoyote itakayokupa tuzo.”
23 Ahivang in aman, “Asoh soh soh jeng hen, kei jong lhai jeng ing e,” atia asei kit phat’in, Joab jong chun ajah a asei peh in, “Lhaijo lhai in,” ati tai. Chutah chun Ahimaaz chu phaicham lang Mahanaim lampi a chun alhai in ahi leh Ethopia mipa chu akhel tai.
Ahimaasi akasema, “Liwalo na liwe, nataka kukimbia.” Kwa hiyo Yoabu akamwambia, “Haya, kimbia!” Ndipo Ahimaasi akakimbia kufuata njia ya kupitia tambarare, akafika kabla ya huyo Mkushi.
24 David chu kelkot te ni kikah a toujing jeng ahin, kelkot ngah pachu kelkot chung, inchung a chun akaldoh in palvum a chun a um'in ahileh mikhat achanga amaho langa hunglhai khat amutan ahi.
Wakati Daudi alipokuwa ameketi kati ya lango la ndani na la nje, mlinzi akapanda juu ya paa la lango kupitia ukutani. Alipotazama nje, akaona mtu mmoja akikimbia peke yake.
25 Chuphat’in kelkot ngah pan leng pa ahin kouvin asei peh tai. Lengpan jong ale seipeh kit’in, aching ahileh thusoh ahinpoh ding ahi atin “Ahung lhailut pai pai in, ahin nailut tai.
Mlinzi akampazia mfalme sauti na kumpa taarifa. Mfalme akasema, “Ikiwa yuko peke yake, lazima atakuwa na habari njema.” Naye yule mtu akazidi kusogea karibu.
26 Chuin kelkot ngah pan michom khat ma amukit in, ama jong chu ahung lhai lhai jeng e; chuphat’in kelkot ngah pan kelkot phung lama chun ahin kouvin, “Ven, ven, mi khat jong achang seh in ahung lhai kit e,” ati. Lengpan jong asei kit’in, “Ama jong khun thupha ahin poh hiya khu,” ati.
Kisha mlinzi akaona mtu mwingine anakuja akikimbia, akamwita bawabu, “Tazama, mtu mwingine anakuja akikimbia peke yake!” Mfalme akasema, “Lazima atakuwa analeta habari njema pia.”
27 Kelkot ngah pa chun, “Ahung lhai masajo pa khu Zadok chapa Ahimaaz lhaitoh kakilom sah lheh jenge,” atileh; leng pan jong, “Ama chu mipha ahin thupha ahin poh hiteiyin te,” ati.
Mlinzi akasema, “Ninaona kuwa yule wa kwanza anakimbia kama Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki.” Mfalme akasema, “Yeye ni mtu mwema. Analeta habari njema.”
28 Chutah chun Ahimaaz hin lengpa ahin kouvin, “Ijakai aphasoh keiye,” ati. Chujongle ama chu lengpa angsung a abohkhup’in tol'a amai asulut’in aseiye, “Pakai na-Pathen, kapu lengpa douna akhut lam jouse eipedoh soh kei uvah ama chu nun nom hen,” ati.
Ndipo Ahimaasi akamwita mfalme, akasema, “Mambo yote ni mema!” Akasujudu mbele ya mfalme uso wake mpaka ardhini, akasema, “Ahimidiwe Bwana Mungu wako! Yeye aliyewatoa watu wale walioinua mikono yao dhidi ya mfalme bwana wangu.”
29 Hichun lengpan jong adong pai in, “Gollhangpa Absalom ima tilou hinam?” atileh, Ahimaaz chun adonbut’in, “Nasohpa hi Joab in eihin sol pet chun mihon pi kinong lul lul kamun, ipi iti ham ti kahepoi,” ati tai.
Mfalme akauliza, “Je, huyo kijana Absalomu yuko salama?” Ahimaasi akajibu, “Kulikuwa na machafuko mengi mara tu Yoabu alipokuwa anataka kumtuma mtumishi wa mfalme pamoja nami mtumishi wako, lakini sijui ilikuwa nini?”
30 Chuphat’in lengpan jong, “kikhin doh inlang hikoma khun ga ding tan,” atileh; ama jong akikhin doh pai jeng in, ading thip beh jeng tai.
Mfalme akasema, “Simama kando na usubiri hapa.” Basi akasogea kando na kusimama hapo.
31 Vetan, hichun Ethopia mipa chu ahung lhung pai tan ahi; hichun Ethopia mipan hitin asei e, “Kapu lengpa ding in thupha tah kahinpoi! Ijeh-inem itileh Pakaiyin tunia nangma dou dia kipan mite khut’a konin nahuh doh tan ahi,” ati.
Ndipo huyo Mkushi akawasili na kusema, “Mfalme bwana wangu, sikia habari njema! Leo Bwana amekuokoa kutoka kwa wale wote walioinuka dhidi yako.”
32 Chuin lengpan jong Ethopia mipa chu adong paiyin, “Golhangpa melmate jouse leh nangma douna a thilse bol dinga kipan jouse hiche golhangpa chutoh bang soh kei u hen,’ ati tai.
Mfalme akamuuliza huyo Mkushi, “Je, kijana Absalomu yuko salama?” Huyo Mkushi akajibu, “Adui wa mfalme bwana wangu na wote wale walioinuka kukudhuru na wawe kama huyo kijana.”
33 Chuphat’in lengpa chu adip dam behseh jengin, hichun indan chung nunga chun akaldoh in, akap tai; ache pum pumin, “O kachapa Absalom, kachapa; kachapa Absalom! Nang khel a kei kathileh iti ham, vo Absalom, kachapa, kachapa!” atin ahi.
Mfalme akatetemeka. Akapanda chumbani juu kupitia langoni akilia. Alipokuwa akienda, akasema, “Ee mwanangu Absalomu! Mwanangu, mwanangu Absalomu! Laiti ningekufa badala yako: Ee Absalomu, mwanangu, mwanangu!”
