Kings II 19
1 And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
Nowach ne Joab niya, “Ruoth dengo malit kaywago Abisalom.”
2 And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.
Loch machiengʼno nolokore ywak ni jolweny, nikech migepe mag jolweny, nowinjo kiwacho niya, “Ruoth okuyo nikech tho wuode.”
3 And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
Ji nodonjo lingʼ-lingʼ e dala maduongʼ chiengʼno mana kaka joma oloo e lweny duogo alucha ka wigi okuot.
4 And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
To ruoth noumo wangʼe, koywak matek niya, “Yaye Abisalom wuoda! Yaye Abisalom wuoda, wuoda!”
5 And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, You have this day shamed the faces of all your servants that have delivered you this day, and [have saved] the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and of your concubines,
Eka Joab nodhi ei ot ir ruoth mowacho niya, “Kawuononi isekuodo wi jogi duto, ma osereso ngimani, ngima yawuoti gi nyigi to gi ngima mondi to gi mondi mamoko.
6 forasmuch as you love them that hate you, and hate them that love you; and you have this day declared, that your princes and your servants are nothing [in your sight]: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, [and] all of us dead today, then it would have been right in your sight.
Ihero joma ochayi to ichayo joma oheri. Kawuono inyiso ratiro ni jotend lweny gi jolwenygi ok gimoro e nyimi. Aneno ni dine imor ka Abisalom ngima kawuono to wan duto ne watho.
7 And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to your servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless you will go forth today, there shall not a man remain with you this night: and know for yourself, this thing [will] indeed [be] evil to you beyond all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.
Koro wuogi oko mondo iho jogi. An gadiera e nying Jehova Nyasaye ni ka ok iwuok oko, to otieno ma kawuono onge kata mana ngʼato achiel ma biro bedo kodi. Mano nobedni masira maduongʼ moloyo masiche duto miseneno nyaka ia e nyathi.”
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
Omiyo ruoth nochungʼ modhi obet e kome e dhorangach. Eka nonyis jolweny ni, Ruoth obet e dhorangach, kendo giduto negibiro mi gichungʼ e nyime. Koro nonwangʼo ka jo-Israel noseringo odhi e miechgi.
9 And all the people disputed amongst all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
Ji ne mino wach kendgi e dhout Israel duto kagiwacho niya, “Ruoth noresowa e lwet wasikwa; en ema noresowa e lwet jo-Filistia. To koro sani oseringo oa e pinywani nikech wach Abisalom;
10 And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are you silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
kendo Abisalom mane wawiro mondo obed ruodhwa bende osetho e lweny. Mara angʼo ulingʼ alingʼa ma ok uwuo e wach mar duogo ruoth?”
11 And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are you the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
Ruoth Daudi nooro wachni ne Zadok gi Abiathar, ma jodolo kama: “Penjuru jodong Juda ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo dudongʼ chien kuom dwoko ruoth dalane, nimar weche mane iwacho e Israel duto osechopo ni ruoth e kar dakne?
12 You [are] my brethren, you [are] my bones and my flesh: why are you the last to bring back the king to his house?
Un e owetena kendo une remba. Marangʼo un ema dudongʼ chien kuom duogo ruoth?’
13 And you shall say to Amessai, [Are] you not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if you shall not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
Kendo wachne Amasa ni, ‘Donge in wadwa ma remba? Mad Nyasaye kuma malit ahinya ka dipo ni ok aketi jatend jolweny sani kar Joab.’”
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return you, and all your servants.
Ne oloko pach jo-Juda duto mane gibedo gi paro achiel. Ne giorone ruoth wach niya, “Duogi gi jogi duto.”
15 And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
Eka ruoth nodok mochopo nyaka Jordan. Nonwangʼo ka jo-Juda osebiro Gilgal mondo gidhi giromne ruoth kendo gingʼad kode aora Jordan.
16 And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David.
Shimei wuod Gera, ja-Benjamin moa Bahurim, noreto kolor piny kaachiel gi jo-Juda mondo girom ni Ruoth Daudi.
17 And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
Jo-Benjamin alufu achiel ne ni kode, kaachiel Ziba, ma jatend jorit mwandu mar od Saulo, to gi yawuote apar gabich kod jotije piero ariyo. Negireto ka gidhi Jordan, kuma ruoth ne nitie.
18 and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
Negingʼado kar dho wath mondo gikaw ruoth gi joode mane ni loka kendo gitim gimoro amora modwaro. Kane Shimei wuod Gera nongʼado Jordan, nopodho auma e nyim ruoth
19 and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of your servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
mowachone niya, “Mad ruodha kik kwana ka jaketho. Kik ipar kaka jatichni notimo marach chiengʼ ma ruodha ma en ruoth nowuok Jerusalem. Mad ruoth wiye wil.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come today before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
Nimar an jatichni angʼeyo nine atimo richo, to koro asebiro kaka ngʼat mokwongo moa e dhood Josef mosebiro mwalo ka mondo aromni ruodha ma en ruoth?”
21 And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
Eka Abishai wuod Zeruya nowacho niya, “Donge Shimei onego neg nikech ma? Nokwongʼo ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.”
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia, that you as it were lie in wait against me this day? today no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
Daudi nodwoko niya, “Angʼo machandou koda un yawuot Zeruya? Kawuono usedoko jowasika! Bende onego neg ngʼato e Israel kawuono? Donge angʼeyo ni an ruoth e Israel kawuono?”
23 And the king said to Semei, You shall not die: and the king swore to him.
Omiyo nowacho ni Shimei niya, “Ok ibi tho.” Kendo ruoth nosingore kokwongʼore.
24 And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
Mefibosheth, nyakwar Saulo bende nodhi mondo orom ne ruoth. Ne pok olwoko tiende kata buso yie tike kendo luoko lepe chakre chiengʼ mane ruoth owuokie nyaka chiengʼ manoduogo ka ok ohinyore.
25 And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosthe?
Kane obiro koa Jerusalem mondo orom ne ruoth, ruoth nopenjo Mefibosheth niya, “Angʼo mane omoni dhi koda?”
26 And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for your servant [is] lame.
Nodwoke niya, “Ruodha ma en ruoth, nikech jatichni en rangʼol, ne awacho ni, ‘Abiro ikoni pundana mondo otingʼa adhi gi ruoth.’ To Ziba ma jatija nondhoga.
27 And he has dealt deceitfully with your servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God, and do you that which is good in your eyes.
Kendo oseketho nying jatichni ni ruodha ma en ruoth. Ruodha ma en ruoth chal ka malaika mar Nyasaye; omiyo tim atima gima ineno ni berni.
28 For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet you have set your servant amongst them that eat at your table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
Anywolana duto ne ok onego gen gimoro moa kuom ruodha ma en ruoth makmana tho, to ne imiyo jatichni obet kod jogo machiemo e mesani. En ratiro mane ma an-go madimi amed keto kwayona ni ruoth?”
29 And the king said to him, Why speak you any longer of your matters? I have said, You and Siba shall divide the land.
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Angʼo ma dimi imed wuoyo? Asemiyou chik ni in kod Ziba upogru puothe.”
30 And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house.
Mefibosheth nowachone ruoth niya, “Makoro ruodha ma en ruoth osedwogo dala ma ok ohinyore, weye okaw gigo duto.”
31 And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan.
Barzilai ja-Gilead bende nobiro koa Rogelim mondo ongʼad Jordan gi ruoth kendo okowe oweye kodhi.
32 And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man.
Koro Barzilai ne en jaduongʼ moti ahinya, ma hike ne romo piero aboro. Ne okonyo ruoth gi chiemo e kinde mane en Mahanaim, nimar ne en ngʼat ma jamoko ahinya.
33 And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.
Ruoth nowacho ni Barzilai niya, “Ngʼad aora koda mondo ibi idag koda Jerusalem, kendo abiro miyi gik mikonyorigo duto.”
34 And Berzelli said to the king, How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
To Barzilai nodwoko ruoth niya, “Aseti, pod abiro dak higni adi, madimi adhi gi ruoth Jerusalem?
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can your servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and therefore shall your servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
Koro an ja-higni piero aboro. Bende anyalo pogo gima ber kod gima rach? Bende jatichni diwinj ndhath gima ochamo kod momadho? Bende pod dawinj dwond chwo gi mon ma jower? Angʼo ma dimi jatichni dimed tingʼ matin ni ruodha ma en ruoth?
36 Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
Jatichni biro ngʼado Jordan modhi gi ruoth mochwalore matin, to en angʼo momiyo ruoth dimiya chiwo machal kama?
37 Let, I pray you, your servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, your servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do you to him as it seems good in your eyes.
Weya adogi mondo adhi atho e dalawa but kama noyikie wuonwa gi minwa. To jatichni miluongo ni Kimham nika. Yiene mondo ongʼad odhi gi ruodha ma en ruoth loka. Timne gimoro amora mihero.”
38 And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatever you shall choose at my hand, I will do for you.
Ruoth nowacho niya, “Kimham biro ngʼado koda nyaka loka. Kendo abiro timo ne gimoro amora mihero. Bende abiro timoni gima chunyi diher mondo atimni.”
39 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place.
Omiyo ji duto nongʼado Jordan, to bangʼe ruoth bende nongʼado loka. Ruoth nonyodho Barzilai kendo nogwedhe, eka Barzilai nodok dalane.
40 And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Kane ruoth ongʼado odhi loka Gilgal, Kimham nongʼado kode. Jolweny duto mag Juda gi nus mar jolweny mag Israel nokowo ruoth kuno.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen you away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
Piyo piyo nono jo-Israel nobiro ir ruoth mi giwachone niya, “Angʼo manomiyo owetewa ma jo-Juda, kelo ruoth lingʼ-lingʼ gi joode loka aora Jordan, kaachiel gi joge duto?”
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
Jo-Juda duto nodwoko jo-Israel niya, “Ne watimo ma nikech ruoth en watwa machiegni. Angʼo momiyo iu owangʼ. Bende wasechamo gimoro moa ka ruoth? Bende wasekawoe gimoro ni wan wawegi?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have you thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
Eka jo-Israel nodwoko jo-Juda duto niya, “Wan dhoudi apar e loch Daudi, to ewi mano, wan gi ratiro maduongʼ kuom Daudi moloyou. Koro angʼo momiyo ujarowa kamano? Donge wan ema ne wakwongo paro wach mar duogo ruodhwa?” To kata kamano jo-Juda nobedo mager moloyo jo-Israel.
