2 Samuel 15
1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
Bangʼ kinde moko, Abisalom nongʼiewo gari gi farese kendo ne en gi ji piero abich mane ringo e nyime.
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
Ne ochiewo gokinyi kendo nochungʼ e bath yo mochiko dhoranga dala maduongʼ. E kinde duto mane ngʼato angʼata obiro man-gi wach modwaro mondo ruoth ongʼadnee rieko, Abisalom ne luonge kapenje niya, “Ia e dala mane?” To nodwoke niya, “Jatichni oa e achiel kuom dhout Israel.”
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
Eka Abisalom ne odwoke niya, “Aneno ni wecheni beyo kendo gin adier; to makmana ni onge ngʼat ma ruoth oseketo mondo owinjne weche makamagi.”
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
Kendo Abisalom nomedo wacho niya, “Ka dine yiera mondo abed jangʼad bura e piny, to ngʼato angʼata man-gi ywak kata wach moro, nyalo biro ira kendo anyalo neno ni ongʼadne bura mowinjore.”
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
Bende e kinde ma ngʼato angʼata nobiro ire mondo okulre e nyime, Abisalom ne mako lwet ngʼatno kendo nyodhe.
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Abisalom notimo kama ni jo-Israel duto mane biro ir ruoth mondo ongʼadnigi bura, kendo noywayogo chuny jo-Israel.
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
Bangʼ ka higni angʼwen noserumo, Abisalom nowachone ruoth niya, “Yiena mondo adhi Hebron kendo achop singruok moro mane atimo gi Jehova Nyasaye.
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
Kane jatichni odak Geshur e piny Aram, ne asingora kama: ‘Ka Jehova Nyasaye noduoga Jerusalem, to anadhi alam Jehova Nyasaye Hebron.’”
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Omiyo nodhi Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
Eka Abisalom nooro joote lingʼ-lingʼ e dhout Israel duto kowacho niya, “E sa moro amora ma unuwinj ka turumbete oywak, to wachuru ni, ‘Ruodh Hebron, en Abisalom.’”
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
Ji mia ariyo moa Jerusalem nobiro kod Abisalom. Ne oluong-gi kaka welo mi gidhi gichuny maler ka ok gingʼeyo gimoro amora madhi nyime.
12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Kane Abisalom timo misengini, nooro joote mondo oom Ahithofel ma ja-Gilon, jangʼad rieko ni Daudi mondo obi koa Gilo, ma dalagi. Omiyo tim mar ngʼanyo nomedo bedo gi teko, kendo ji mane luwo bangʼ Abisalom nosiko ka medore.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
Jaote nobiro mowachone Daudi niya, “Chuny jo-Israel nigi Abisalom.”
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
Eka Daudi nowachone jodonge duto mane ni kode Jerusalem niya, “Biuru! Nyaka to waring waa ka, ka ok kamano onge ngʼato kuomwa mabiro tony e lwet Abisalom. Nyaka wawuog mapiyo, nono to enobi mapiyo mojukwa mi otiekwa kendo oneg ji e dala maduongʼ gi ligangla.”
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
Jodong ruoth nodwoke niya, “Jotiji to oikore mar timo gimoro amora ma ruodhwa ma en ruoth oyiero.”
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
Ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi joode duto makmana monde mamoko apar ema ne oweyo karito dala ruoth.
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
Omiyo ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi ji duto kaluwo bangʼe, negidhi ma gichungʼ matin kamoro mochwalore.
18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
Joge duto nowuotho mokadho ka gin kaachiel gi jo-Kereth duto kod jo-Peleth; to gi jo-Giti duto mia auchiel mane obiro kode koa Gath bende ne wuotho e nyim ruoth.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
Ruoth nowachone Itai ja-Giti niya, “Angʼo momiyo idhi kodwa? Dogi mondo ibed gi Ruoth Abisalom. In ngʼama wendo, moringo koa e pinygi.
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
Yande eka ibiro ka. To koro tinendeni ere kaka diwuoth kodwa kamoro amora, to an akia kuma adhiye? Dogi mondo ikaw jothuru idhigo. Mad ngʼwono gi adieri bed kodi.”
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
To Itai nodwoko ruoth niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kendo akwongʼora ni ruodha ma en ruoth ni kamoro amora ma ruodha ma en ruoth nobedie, bed ni en kar ngima kata kar tho, to kanyo bende ema jatichni nobedie.”
22 David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
Daudi nowachone Itai niya, “Wuoth wadhi.” Omiyo Itai ja-Giti nowuotho gi joge duto gi joutegi mane ni kode.
23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
Ji duto mane ni kama gikadhoe noywak matek ka jogo duto kadho. Ruoth bende ne ongʼado Holo mar Kidron kendo ji duto nowuotho kochomo yo thim.
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
Zadok bende ne ni kanyo to gi jo-Lawi duto mane ni kode notingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye. Negiketo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye piny, eka Abiathar nochiwo misengini nyaka ji duto notieko wuok e dala maduongʼ.
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
Eka ruoth nowachone Zadok niya, “Dwok Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye e dala maduongʼ. Ka Jehova Nyasaye okecha, to enoduoga ka kendo enomi ane Sandug Muma kod kar dak Nyasaye kendo.
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
To kowacho ni, ‘Ok amor kodi,’ to aikora; we mondo otim gima oneno ni berne.”
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Are not you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Ruoth nomedo wacho ni Zadok jadolo niya, “Donge in janen? Dogi dala gi kwe, gi wuodi ma Ahimaz gi Jonathan wuod Abiathar. In kod Abiathar kawuru yawuotu ariyo udhigo.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Abiro rito kama iyoroe aora e thim nyaka ayud wach moa iri kinyisago gima dhi nyime.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
Omiyo Zadok gi Abiathar nodwoko Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye Jerusalem ma gibet kanyo.”
30 David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
To Daudi nomedo wuotho ka twenyo got mar Zeituni kowuotho gi tiende nono, koumo wiye kendo oywak. Ji duto mane ni kode bende noumo wigi, to gin bende ne giywak ka gitwenyo got.
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
Nonwangʼo ka Daudi osenyisi niya, “Ahithofel en achiel kuom jo-andhoga mane oriwore gi Abisalom.” Omiyo Daudi nolemo niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, lok ngʼado rieko mar Ahithofel obed fuwo.”
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
Kane Daudi ochopo ewi got kuma ji ne lamoe Nyasaye chon, Hushai ja-Arki ne ni kanyo mondo orom kode, lawe ne oyiech kendo buru ne ni e wiye.
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
Daudi nowachone niya, “Kidhi koda to idhi bedona tingʼ mapek.
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
To kidok e dala maduongʼ miwachone Abisalom ni, ‘Abiro bedo jatiji, yaye ruoth; nikech ne an jatij wuonu ndalo mokadho, to sani koro abiro bedo jatiji,’ to kitimo ma to inyalo konya ketho ngʼado rieko mar Ahithofel.
35 Do not you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Donge jodolo ma gin Zadok gi Abiathar jodhi bedo kodi kuno? Wachnegi gimoro amora miwinjo e dala ruoth.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
Yawuotgi ariyo ma gin Ahimaz wuod Zadok gi Jonathan wuod Abiathar bende ni kanyo kodgi. Orgi ira gi gimoro amora miwinjo.”
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Omiyo osiep Daudi ma Hushai nochopo Jerusalem e sa mane Abisalom donjoe e dala maduongʼ.
