2 Samuel 16
1 When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
Kane Daudi osewuotho matin koa ewi got, noyudo Ziba jarit mwandu mag Mefibosheth, karite mondo oromne. Ne osembo punde bwora motingʼo makati mia ariyo, gi olemb mzabibu mongʼin mag makati mia achiel gi olemb ngʼowu mongʼin bende mia achiel kod divai mool e dende.
2 “Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
Ruoth nopenjo Ziba niya, “Angʼo momiyo ikelo gigi?” Ziba nodwoke niya, “Pundegi gin ma jood ruoth nyalo idho, makati gi olembe to gin mar jogi mondo ocham, divai to en mar duogo chuny joma ool e thim mondo omadhi.”
3 “Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’”
Eka ruoth nopenje niya, “To ere nyakwar ruodhi?” Ziba nowachone niya, “Odongʼ Jerusalem, nikech oparo ni, ‘Kawuononi jo-Israel dhi dwokona loch kwara.’”
4 So the king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
Eka ruoth nowachone Ziba niya, “Gik moko duto ma mag Mefibosheth koro gin magi.” Ziba nowachone niya, “Erokamano. Mad ayud ngʼwono e wangʼ ruodha ma en ruoth.”
5 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
Ka ruoth Daudi nochimo Bahurim, ngʼat moro moa e dhoodgi Saulo nobiro koa kuno. Nyinge ne Shimei wuod Gera, nowuok kowacho weche mag kwongʼ.
6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
Nobayo Daudi gi jodong ruoth gi kite, kata obedo ni jolweny gi thuondi ne ogengʼo bath Daudi korachwich gi koracham.
7 And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!
Shimei nokwongʼe kawacho niya, “Wuog idhi, wuog idhi in ngʼat mosechwero remo, kendo mofuwoni.
8 The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
Jehova Nyasaye osechuli kuom remo duto mane ichwero e dhood Saulo, ma isetiyo kar lochne. Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo wuodi Abisalom pinyruoth. Osetieki nikech in dhano mohero chwero remo.”
9 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
Eka Abishai wuod Zeruya nowachone ruoth niya, “Guok mothoni to kwongʼo ruodha nangʼo? We adhi angʼad ngʼute oko.”
10 But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”
To ruoth nodwoke niya, “Angʼo machandou koda un yawuot Zeruya? Ka okwongʼa nikech Jehova Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘Kwongʼ Daudi,’ to en ngʼa madipenj ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo itimo kama?’”
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
Daudi nowachone Abishai gi jodonge duto niya, “Ka wuoda, manywolo ema dwaro tieko ngimana, to kare ja-Benjamin-ni ditimna marach maromo nade! Wereuru kode odhi nyime gi kwongʼ nimar Jehova Nyasaye osenyise mondo otim kamano.
12 Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”
Dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye oneno midhiero ma an-go motimona ngʼwono kar kwongʼ mayudo kawuononi.”
13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge nomedo wuotho kadhi nyime ka giluwo yo, ka Shimei bende ne wuotho e dir got mochimore kode ka odhi nyime gi kwongʼe to obaye gi kite kokiro gik mochido kuome.
14 Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
Ruoth gi ji duto mane ni kode nochopo kama negidhiyoe ka giol. Kendo noyweyo kanyo.
15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
To gi e kindeno, Abisalom gi jo-Israel nobiro Jerusalem to Ahithofel ne ni kode.
16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Eka Hushai ja-Arki, mosiep Daudi nodhi ir Abisalom mowachone niya, “Ruoth mondo odag amingʼa! Ruoth mondo odag amingʼa!”
17 “Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
Abisalom nopenjo Hushai niya, “Ma e kaka inyiso hera ne osiepni? Marangʼo ne ok idhi gosiepni?”
18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
Hushai nowachone Abisalom niya, “Ooyo to mana ngʼat moyier gi Jehova Nyasaye, moyier gi jogi to gi jo-Israel duto mano e ngʼat mabiro bedo jakore mi asik kode.
19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
To moloyo kanyo, kare onego atine ngʼa? Donge onego atine wuode? Mana kaka natiyo ni wuonu, e kaka in bende abiro tiyoni.”
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”
Abisalom nowachone Ahithofel niya, “Ngʼadnwae rieko. En angʼo monego watim?”
21 Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
Ahithofel nodwoke niya, “Terri gi monde wuonu mamoko mane oweyo karito dala ruoth. Eka jo-Israel nowinj kaka isebedo mangʼwe e um wuonu, kendo ji duto man kodi nobed gi teko.”
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Omiyo negiguro hema ne Abisalom ewi ot malo kendo noterore gi monde wuon-gi mamoko mana ka jo-Israel duto neno.
23 Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
E ndalono rieko mane Ahithofel ngʼado nechalo mana ka ngʼat mopenjo Nyasaye wach. Mano e kaka Daudi gi Abisalom ne okawo rieko ma Ahithofel ne chiwo.
