1 Ruodhi 2
1 Kane kinde ochopo machiegni mondo Daudi otho, nosiemo Solomon wuode.
And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying:
2 Kowacho niya, “Achiegni dhi kuma ji duto manie piny dhiye.” Omiyo bed motegno kendo jiwri ka dichwo,
I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage, and shew thyself a man.
3 kendo irit gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi dwaro: Kiwuotho e yorene kendo irit puonjne gi chikene kod gik moko duto modwaro kaka ondiki e chik Musa mondo idhi nyime maber e gik moko duto mitimo, kendo kamoro amora midhiye,
And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayest understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself:
4 eka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo rito singruokne mane omiya ni, Ka nyikwayi onono kaka gidak kendo ka giwuotho gi adiera e nyima gi chunygi duto kod parogi duto to ok nibedi maonge ngʼat manyalo bedo e kom duongʼ e Israel.
That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel.
5 Koro in iwuon ingʼeyo gima Joab wuod Zeruya notimona, gima notimo ni jotend lweny ariyo mag Israel, Abner wuod Ner gi Amasa wuod Jetha. Ne onegogi, kochwero rembgi e ndalo kwe mana ka ndalo mag lweny kendo remono nomienogo okandane mane otweyo e nungone kod wuochene manie tiendene.
Thou knowest also what Joab the son of Sarvia hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 To bed mangʼwon ni yawuot Barzilai ja-Gilead kendo we gibed achiel kuom joma chiemo e mesani. Negidok jokora kane aringo e nyim Abisalom owadu.
But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom thy brother.
8 Bende par, ni nitie Shimei wuod Gera, ja-Benjamin moa Bahurim mane okwongʼa malit kane adhi Mahanaim. Kane obiro romona e dho Jordan, ne akwongʼorane gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, Ok ananegi gi ligangla.
Thou hast also with thee Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with a sword:
9 To koro kik ikwane ka ngʼama onge ketho. In ngʼama riek; iningʼe gima nitimne. Kik iwe lwar mantie e wiye dhi e bur gi kwe. (Sheol h7585)
Do not thou hold him guiltless. But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Eka Daudi notho gi wuonene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi.
So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 Daudi noyudo osetelo ne Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen, ka higni abiriyo ne en Hebron to higni piero adek gadek ka en Jerusalem.
And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.
12 Omiyo Solomon nobet e kom loch wuon mare Daudi, kendo lochne nogurore.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
13 Koro Adonija wuod Hagith nodhi ir Bathsheba min Solomon. Bathsheba nopenje niya, “Ibiro gi kwe?” Eka nodwoko niya, “Ee abiro gi kwe.”
And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? he answered: Peaceable.
14 Eka nomedo wacho niya, “An gi wach moro madwaro wachoni.” Nodwoko niya, “Inyalo wacho.”
And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said:
15 Eka nowacho niya, “Kaka ingʼeyo, pinyruoth ne mara. Jo-Israel duto nongʼiya kaka ruodhgi. To gik moko nolokore ma pinyruoth nodok ni owadwa; nimar Jehova Nyasaye ema osemiyego.
Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother’s: for it was appointed him by the Lord.
16 Koro an gi kwayo achiel madwaro kwayo. Ka iyie to kik itama.” Bathsheba nowachone niya, “Wachi.”
Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.
17 Eka Adonija nomedo wacho niya, “Yie ikwa ruoth Solomon omiya Abishag nyar Shunam obed jaoda nikech angʼeyo ni ok obi tami.”
And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.
18 Bathsheba to ne odwoke niya, “Mano ber, abiro wuoyoni gi ruoth.”
And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
19 Kane Bathsheba odhi ir Ruoth Solomon mondo owuo kuom Adonija, ruoth nochungʼ malo mokulorene eka nobet e kome mar duongʼ. Nokwayo mondo okel ni min-gi kom duongʼ eka nobet e bade korachwich.
Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right hand.
20 Bathsheba nowachone niya, “An-gi kwayo matin madwaro kwayo to yie kik itama.” Ruoth to nodwoke niya, “Kwaye akwaya minwa nimar ok anatami.”
And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.
21 Omiyo nowacho niya, “Yie iwe Abishag nyar Shunam mondo okend gi owadu Adonija.”
And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.
22 Ruoth Solomon nodwoko min niya, “Angʼo momiyo ikwayo Abishag nyar Shunam ni Adonija? Inyalo anyala kata mana kwayone pinyruoth nimar en owadwa maduongʼ, bende inyalo kwaye ni Abiathar jadolo kod Joab wuod Zeruya!”
And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.
23 Eka Ruoth Solomon nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Mad Nyasaye kweda ka Adonija ok otho nikech kwayoni.
Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.
24 Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni en mosegura e kom loch mar Daudi wuora kendo mosesingo ni nyikwaya pinyruoth ni Adonija nyaka negi kawuono!”
And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.
25 Omiyo Ruoth Solomon nochiwo chik ne Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nonego Adonija.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.
26 To kuom Abiathar jadolo, ruoth nowacho niya, “Dog e puotheni mantie Anathoth. Iwinjori gi tho, to ok ananegi sani, nikech nitingʼo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto e nyim Daudi wuonwa kendo nineno chandruok duto mane wuonwa oneno.”
And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.
27 Omiyo Solomon nogolo Abiathar e tich dolo mar Jehova Nyasaye kochopogo wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho Shilo kuom od Eli.
So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.
28 Kane wechego olandore mochopo ni Joab mane joriwore gi Adonija kata obedo ni ne ok oriwore gi Abisalom, ne oringo modhi e Hemb Jehova Nyasaye mi nomako tunge kendo mar misango.
And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.
29 Ruoth Solomon nowachne ni Joab oseringo modhi e hemb Jehova Nyasaye kendo ni ne en but kendo mar misango. Eka Solomon nochiko Benaya wuod Jehoyada niya, “Dhiyo mondo inege.”
And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.
30 Omiyo Benaya nodonjo e Hemb Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowacho ni Joab niya, “Ruoth wacho ni, ‘Wuog oko!’” To nodwoke niya, “Ooyo, abiro mana tho ka.” Benaya nodwoko wach Joab ni ruoth.
And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 Eka ruoth nochiko Benaya niya, “Tim kaka osewacho. Nege kendo yike mondo ipwodha kod od wuonwa kuom richo mar remo makare mane Joab ochwero.
And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.
32 Jehova Nyasaye enochule kuom remo mane ochwero, nikech nonego ji ariyo gi ligangla ka wuonwa Daudi kia. Nonego Abner wuod Ner jatend lweny mar Israel kod Amasa wuod Jetha jatend lweny mar Juda mane gin joma ber kendo mobidhore moloye.
And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.
33 Mad rembgi obedi ewi Joab gi nyikwaye nyaka chiengʼ. To kuom Daudi gi nyikwaye gi ode kod kuom lochne, mad kwe Jehova Nyasaye obedie nyaka chiengʼ.”
And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed and his house, and to his throne be peace for ever from the Lord.
34 Omiyo Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodhi monego Joab kendo noyike mana e lope e thim.
So Banaias the son of Joiada went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert.
35 Ruoth noketo Benaya wuod Jehoyada jatend lweny kar Joab mi noketo Zadok jadolo kar Abiathar jadolo.
And the king appointed Banaias the son of Joiada in his room over the army, and Sadoc the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
36 Eka ruoth noluongo Shimei ire, mowachone niya, ger ot Jerusalem mondo idagie to kik iwuogi ni idhi kamoro amora.
The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any whither.
37 Chiengʼ ma iniwuogi ma ingʼadi Holo mar Kidron, to bed gadiera ni initho; kendo rembi enobed e wiyi.
For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head:
38 To Shimei nodwoko ruoth niya, “Gima iwacho ber, jatichni biro timo kaka ruodhe osewacho.” Shimei nodak Jerusalem kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem, many days.
39 To bangʼ higni adek jotich Shimei ariyo noringo modhi ir Akish wuod Maaka, ruodh Gath kendo nowach ne Shimei niya, “Wasumbinigi ni Gath.”
And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis the son of Maacha the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth.
40 Gikanyono noidho pundane kendo nodhi ir Akish kane en Gath komanyo wasumbinige, omiyo Shimei nodhi moduogogi.
And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis to Geth to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth.
41 Kane onyis Solomon ni Shimei nowuok Jerusalem modhi nyaka Gath kendo odwogo,
And it was told Solomon that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back.
42 ruoth noluongo Shimei mowachone niya, “Donge ne akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ka asiemi ni chiengʼ ma iniwuogi mondo idhi kamoro amora to ibed kingʼeyo ni initho? To e kindeno niwachona niya, ‘Gima iwacho ber, abiro luwo.’
And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any whither, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good.
43 Angʼo momiyo ne ok irito singruokni ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo rito chik mane amiyi?”
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee?
44 Ruoth nomedo wachone Shimei niya, “Ingʼeyo e chunyi richo duto mane itimone wuonwa Daudi. Koro Jehova Nyasaye biro chuli kuom richo duto mane itimo.
And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father: the Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head:
45 To Ruoth Solomon ibiro gwedhi kendo kom loch mar Daudi biro siko kogurore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ.”
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
46 Eka ruoth nogolo chik ni Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nowuok modhi mogoyo Shimei monege. Pinyruoth koro nogurore e lwet Solomon.
So the king commanded Banaias the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him, and he died.
