2 Samuel 19
1 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
Nowach ne Joab niya, “Ruoth dengo malit kaywago Abisalom.”
2 And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for 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 into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle.
Ji nodonjo lingʼ-lingʼ e dala maduongʼ chiengʼno mana kaka joma oloo e lweny duogo alucha ka wigi okuot.
4 And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!
To ruoth noumo wangʼe, koywak matek niya, “Yaye Abisalom wuoda! Yaye Abisalom wuoda, wuoda!”
5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy 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 in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest those that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that neither princes nor servants are anything to thee: for to-day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died to-day, then it would have been right in thine eyes.
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 But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy 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 they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now 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 were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.
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 Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?
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 Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech 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 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?
Un e owetena kendo une remba. Marangʼo un ema dudongʼ chien kuom duogo ruoth?’
13 And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead 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 Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy 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 the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
Eka ruoth nodok mochopo nyaka Jordan. Nonwangʼo ka jo-Juda osebiro Gilgal mondo gidhi giromne ruoth kendo gingʼad kode aora Jordan.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah 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 there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the 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 a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was [just] crossing over the 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 he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.
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 thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to 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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah'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, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king 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 Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.
Omiyo nowacho ni Shimei niya, “Ok ibi tho.” Kendo ruoth nosingore kokwongʼore.
24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again] 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 as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
Kane obiro koa Jerusalem mondo orom ne ruoth, ruoth nopenjo Mefibosheth niya, “Angʼo mane omoni dhi koda?”
26 And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy 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 slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.
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 my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more 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 speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Angʼo ma dimi imed wuoyo? Asemiyou chik ni in kod Ziba upogru puothe.”
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.
Mefibosheth nowachone ruoth niya, “Makoro ruodha ma en ruoth osedwogo dala ma ok ohinyore, weye okaw gigo duto.”
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
Barzilai ja-Gilead bende nobiro koa Rogelim mondo ongʼad Jordan gi ruoth kendo okowe oweye kodhi.
32 And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; 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 Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee 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 Barzillai 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 discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet 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 Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
Jatichni biro ngʼado Jordan modhi gi ruoth mochwalore matin, to en angʼo momiyo ruoth dimiya chiwo machal kama?
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
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, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
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 the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own 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 on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted 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 Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?
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 Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present?
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 Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words 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.
