2 Samuel 15
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
Bangʼ kinde moko, Abisalom nongʼiewo gari gi farese kendo ne en gi ji piero abich mane ringo e nyime.
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from 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 would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy 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 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give 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 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
Bende e kinde ma ngʼato angʼata nobiro ire mondo okulre e nyime, Abisalom ne mako lwet ngʼatno kendo nyodhe.
6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he 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 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
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 made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
Kane jatichni odak Geshur e piny Aram, ne asingora kama: ‘Ka Jehova Nyasaye noduoga Jerusalem, to anadhi alam Jehova Nyasaye Hebron.’”
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Omiyo nodhi Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns 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 from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
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 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
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 Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
Jaote nobiro mowachone Daudi niya, “Chuny jo-Israel nigi Abisalom.”
14 And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to 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 replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
Jodong ruoth nodwoke niya, “Jotiji to oikore mar timo gimoro amora ma ruodhwa ma en ruoth oyiero.”
16 Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
Ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi joode duto makmana monde mamoko apar ema ne oweyo karito dala ruoth.
17 So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
Omiyo ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi ji duto kaluwo bangʼe, negidhi ma gichungʼ matin kamoro mochwalore.
18 and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
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 should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
Ruoth nowachone Itai ja-Giti niya, “Angʼo momiyo idhi kodwa? Dogi mondo ibed gi Ruoth Abisalom. In ngʼama wendo, moringo koa e pinygi.
20 In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
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 But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
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 “March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with 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 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed 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 Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed 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 Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
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 should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
To kowacho ni, ‘Ok amor kodi,’ to aikora; we mondo otim gima oneno ni berne.”
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
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 See, I will wait 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 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
Omiyo Zadok gi Abiathar nodwoko Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye Jerusalem ma gibet kanyo.”
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
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 Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O 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 came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust 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 go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
Daudi nowachone niya, “Kidhi koda to idhi bedona tingʼ mapek.
34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
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 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Donge jodolo ma gin Zadok gi Abiathar jodhi bedo kodi kuno? Wachnegi gimoro amora miwinjo e dala ruoth.
36 Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
Yawuotgi ariyo ma gin Ahimaz wuod Zadok gi Jonathan wuod Abiathar bende ni kanyo kodgi. Orgi ira gi gimoro amora miwinjo.”
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
Omiyo osiep Daudi ma Hushai nochopo Jerusalem e sa mane Abisalom donjoe e dala maduongʼ.
