1 Kings 2
1 Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
Kane kinde ochopo machiegni mondo Daudi otho, nosiemo Solomon wuode.
2 “I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
Kowacho niya, “Achiegni dhi kuma ji duto manie piny dhiye.” Omiyo bed motegno kendo jiwri ka dichwo,
3 And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
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,
4 So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
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.
5 Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
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.
6 Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ti kode kaluwore gi riekoni, to kik iwe lwar mantie e wiye dhi e bur gi kwe. (Sheol h7585)
7 Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
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.
8 Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
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.
9 yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
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)
10 And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
Eka Daudi notho gi wuonene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi.
11 Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
Daudi noyudo osetelo ne Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen, ka higni abiriyo ne en Hebron to higni piero adek gadek ka en Jerusalem.
12 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
Omiyo Solomon nobet e kom loch wuon mare Daudi, kendo lochne nogurore.
13 And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
Koro Adonija wuod Hagith nodhi ir Bathsheba min Solomon. Bathsheba nopenje niya, “Ibiro gi kwe?” Eka nodwoko niya, “Ee abiro gi kwe.”
14 And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
Eka nomedo wacho niya, “An gi wach moro madwaro wachoni.” Nodwoko niya, “Inyalo wacho.”
15 “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
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.
16 Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
Koro an gi kwayo achiel madwaro kwayo. Ka iyie to kik itama.” Bathsheba nowachone niya, “Wachi.”
17 And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
Eka Adonija nomedo wacho niya, “Yie ikwa ruoth Solomon omiya Abishag nyar Shunam obed jaoda nikech angʼeyo ni ok obi tami.”
18 And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
Bathsheba to ne odwoke niya, “Mano ber, abiro wuoyoni gi ruoth.”
19 Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
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.
20 And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
Bathsheba nowachone niya, “An-gi kwayo matin madwaro kwayo to yie kik itama.” Ruoth to nodwoke niya, “Kwaye akwaya minwa nimar ok anatami.”
21 And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
Omiyo nowacho niya, “Yie iwe Abishag nyar Shunam mondo okend gi owadu Adonija.”
22 And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
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!”
23 And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
Eka Ruoth Solomon nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Mad Nyasaye kweda ka Adonija ok otho nikech kwayoni.
24 And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
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!”
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
Omiyo Ruoth Solomon nochiwo chik ne Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nonego Adonija.
26 Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
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.”
27 Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
Omiyo Solomon nogolo Abiathar e tich dolo mar Jehova Nyasaye kochopogo wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho Shilo kuom od Eli.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
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.
29 And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
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.”
30 And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
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.
31 And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
Eka ruoth nochiko Benaya niya, “Tim kaka osewacho. Nege kendo yike mondo ipwodha kod od wuonwa kuom richo mar remo makare mane Joab ochwero.
32 And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
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.
33 And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
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.”
34 And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
Omiyo Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodhi monego Joab kendo noyike mana e lope e thim.
35 And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
Ruoth noketo Benaya wuod Jehoyada jatend lweny kar Joab mi noketo Zadok jadolo kar Abiathar jadolo.
36 Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
Eka ruoth noluongo Shimei ire, mowachone niya, ger ot Jerusalem mondo idagie to kik iwuogi ni idhi kamoro amora.
37 For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
Chiengʼ ma iniwuogi ma ingʼadi Holo mar Kidron, to bed gadiera ni initho; kendo rembi enobed e wiyi.
38 And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
To Shimei nodwoko ruoth niya, “Gima iwacho ber, jatichni biro timo kaka ruodhe osewacho.” Shimei nodak Jerusalem kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
39 But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
To bangʼ higni adek jotich Shimei ariyo noringo modhi ir Akish wuod Maaka, ruodh Gath kendo nowach ne Shimei niya, “Wasumbinigi ni Gath.”
40 And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
Gikanyono noidho pundane kendo nodhi ir Akish kane en Gath komanyo wasumbinige, omiyo Shimei nodhi moduogogi.
41 And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
Kane onyis Solomon ni Shimei nowuok Jerusalem modhi nyaka Gath kendo odwogo,
42 And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
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.’
43 Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
Angʼo momiyo ne ok irito singruokni ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo rito chik mane amiyi?”
44 And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
Ruoth nomedo wachone Shimei niya, “Ingʼeyo e chunyi richo duto mane itimone wuonwa Daudi. Koro Jehova Nyasaye biro chuli kuom richo duto mane itimo.
45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
To Ruoth Solomon ibiro gwedhi kendo kom loch mar Daudi biro siko kogurore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ.”
46 And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
Eka ruoth nogolo chik ni Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nowuok modhi mogoyo Shimei monege. Pinyruoth koro nogurore e lwet Solomon.
