2 Samuel 15
1 Now after these things Absalom made himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Mushure mechinguva, Abhusaromu akazvigadzirira ngoro yamabhiza navarume makumi mashanu kuti vamhanye mberi kwake.
2 And Absalom rising up early stood by the entrance of the gate, and when any man had business to come to the king’s judgment, Absalom called him to him, and said: Of what city art thou? He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such a tribe of Israel.
Aimuka mangwanani achindomira parutivi rwenzira yainanga pasuo reguta. Paiti kana munhu akauya kuna mambo kuzotambirwa mhosva yake, Abhusaromu aimudana oti kwaari, “Ko, iwe uri weguta ripi?” Iye aipindura achiti, “Muranda wenyu anobva kuno rumwe rwamarudzi avaIsraeri.”
3 And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said:
Ipapo Abhusaromu aizoti kwaari, “Tarira, mashoko ako akanaka uye ndeechokwadi, asi hapana mumiririri wamambo anganzwe nyaya yako.”
4 O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them justice.
Uye Abhusaromu aizoti, “Dai vaindiita zvavo mutongi munyika muno! Zvaizoti munhu wose anenge ane chichemo kana nyaya aizouya kwandiri uye ndaizoona kuti aitirwa zvakarurama.”
5 Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
Zvaizotizve, kana munhu akaswedera kwaari akamupfugamira, Abhusaromu aimutambanudzira ruoko rwake, omubata uye omutsvoda.
6 And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel.
Abhusaromu aiitira izvi kuvaIsraeri vose vaiuya kuna mambo kuzotambirwa mhosva dzavo, nokudaro akaita kuti varume vose vomuIsraeri vamude.
7 And after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord in Hebron.
Mushure mamakore mana, Abhusaromu akati kuna mambo, “Nditenderei kuti ndiende kuHebhuroni ndinozadzisa mhiko yandakaita kuna Jehovha.
8 For thy servant made avow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem I will offer sacrifice to the Lord.
Muranda wenyu paakanga achigara paGeshuri muAramu, ndakaita mhiko iyi, ‘Kana Jehovha akandidzosera kuJerusarema, ndichamunamata ndiri muHebhuroni.’”
9 And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron.
Mambo akati kwaari, “Enda norugare.” Iye akabva aenda kuHebhuroni.
10 And Absalom sent spies into all the tribes of Israel, saying: As soon as you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, say ye: Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
Ipapo Abhusaromu akatuma nhume muchivande kumarudzi ose avaIsraeri kundoti kwavari, “Kana muchinge manzwa hwamanda yarira, ipapo daidzirai muchiti, ‘Abhusaromu ava mambo muHebhuroni.’” Varume mazana maviri vokuJerusarema vakanga vaperekedza Abhusaromu.
11 Now there went with Absalom two hundred men out of Jerusalem that were called, going with simplicity of heart, and knowing nothing of the design.
Vakanga vakokwa uye vakangoendawo vasina zvavaiziva, vasina zvavaiziva pamusoro pezvakanga zvarongwa.
12 Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom.
Abhusaromu paakanga achipa zvipiriso akadanawo Ahitoferi muGiro, gurukota raDhavhidhi, kuti auye kubva kuGiro, guta raaigara. Ipapo urongwa hwokumukira mambo hwakabva hwasimba, uye vanhu vakatevera Abhusaromu vakaramba vachiwanda.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying: All Israel with their whole heart followeth Absalom.
Nhume yakauya ikaudza Dhavhidhi kuti, “Varume veIsraeri vatorwa mwoyo naAbhusaromu.”
14 And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kumakurukota ake ose aiva naye muJerusarema, “Uyai! Ngatitizei, zvikasadaro tose hapana angapunyuka kubva kuna Abhusaromu. Tinofanira kubva pano izvozvi, kana tikasadaro angatibata akatiparadza uye akarwisa guta nomunondo.”
15 And the king’s servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute.
Makurukota amambo akapindura akati, “Varanda venyu vakazvipira kuita chipi nechipi chinenge chasarudzwa naishe mambo wedu.”
16 And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house:
Mambo akaenda, veimba yake vose vachimutevera; asi akasiya varongo vake gumi kuti vachengete muzinda wamambo.
17 And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house:
Saka mambo akabuda akaenda, vanhu vose vakamutevera, vakandomira pane imwe nzvimbo yaiva chinhambwe.
18 And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king.
Vanhu vake vose vakapfuura pamberi pake, pamwe chete navaKereti navaPereti vose, uye namazana matanhatu ose avaGiti avo vakanga vabva naye kuGati, vakafamba vachipfuura napamberi pamambo.
19 And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us? return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place.
Mambo akati kuna Itai muGiti, “Ko, wauyireiwo nesu? Dzokera unogara naMambo Abhusaromu. Uri mutorwa iwe, wakadzingwa kumusha kwako.
20 Yesterday thou camest, and today shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.
Wakauya nezuro chaiye, zvino nhasi ndingaita kuti udzungaire nesu here, uye ini ndisingazivi chaiko kwandinoenda? Dzokera, utore hama dzako dzose. Ngoni nokutendeka ngazvive newe.”
21 And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be.
Asi Itai akapindura mambo akati, “Ndinopika naJehovha mupenyu, uye ndinopika naishe wangu mambo mupenyu, pana ishe wangu mambo, kunyange zvikareva upenyu kana kufa, ipapo muranda wenyu ndipo paachava.”
22 And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over. And Ethai the Gethite passed, and all the men that were with him, and the rest of the people.
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Itai, “Enda hako, famba.” Nokudaro Itai muGiti navanhu vake nemhuri dzose dzaiva naye vakafamba vachienda mberi.
23 And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself went over the brook Cedron, and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert.
Nyika yose yakachema kwazvo vanhu vose pavakanga vachipfuura. Namambowo akayambuka mupata weKidhironi, uye vanhu vose vakafamba vakananga kurenje.
24 And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing.
Zadhoki akanga aripowo, uye vaRevhi vose vakanga vanaye vakanga vakatakura areka yesungano yaMwari. Vakagadzika areka yaMwari pasi, Abhiatari akapa zvipiriso kusvikira vanhu vose vabuda muguta.
25 And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle.
Ipapo mambo akati kuna Zadhoki, “Dzosera areka yaMwari muguta. Kana ndikawana nyasha pamberi paJehovha, achandidzosa uye achaita kuti ndione zvakare panzvimbo paanogara.
26 But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him.
Asi kana iye akati, ‘Handifadzwi newe,’ zvose ndakazvigadzirira; ngaandiitire hake zvaanenge achida.”
27 And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
Mambo akatizve kuna Zadhoki muprista, “Ko, hauzi muoni here? Dzokera muguta norugare, nomwanakomana wako Ahimaazi naJonatani mwanakomana waAbhiatari. Iwe naAbhiatari, endai navanakomana venyu.
28 Behold I will lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me.
Ini ndichandomira pamazambuko erenje kusvikira shoko rasvika kwandiri kubva kwamuri.”
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
Ipapo Zadhoki naAbhiatari vakatora areka yaMwari vakadzokera kuJerusarema vakandogarako.
30 But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping.
Asi Dhavhidhi akaramba achikwira Gomo reMiorivhi, akaenda achichema: aiva akafukidza musoro wake asina shangu. Vanhu vose naivowo vakanga vakafukidza misoro yavo vachichema vachikwidza.
31 And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
Zvino Dhavhidhi akaudzwa kuti, “Ahitoferi ndiye mumwe wavapanduki vana Abhusaromu.” Saka Dhavhidhi akanamata achiti, “Haiwa Jehovha, shandurai henyu mazano aAhitoferi kuti ave upenzi.”
32 And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth.
Dhavhidhi paakasvika pamusoro, vanhu pavaisinamata Mwari vari, Hushai muAriki akanga akamumirira, nguo yake yakabvaruka uye ane guruva mumusoro.
33 And David said to him: If thou come with me, thou wilt be a burden to me:
Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Kana iwe ukaenda neni, uchava mutoro kwandiri.
34 But if thou return into the city, and wilt say to Absalom: I am thy servant, O king: as I have been thy father’s servant, so I will be thy servant: thou shalt defeat the counsel of Achitophel.
Asi kana ukadzokera kuguta ukandoti kuna Abhusaromu, ‘Ini ndichava muranda wenyu, imi mambo; ndaiva muranda wababa venyu kare, asi zvino ndichava muranda wenyu,’ ipapo ungandibatsira kuti ukanganise zano raAhitoferi.
35 And thou hast with thee Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests: and what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
Vaprista Zadhoki naAbhiatari vanenge vasiri pamwe chete newe here? Iwe uvaudze zvose zvaunenge uchinzwa zvichirongwa mumuzinda wamambo.
36 And there are with them their two sons Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar: and you shall send by them to me every thing that you shall hear.
Vana vavo vaviri, Ahimaazi mwanakomana waZadhoki naJonatani mwanakomana waAbhiatari, varikowo. Uvatume kwandiri nezvose zvaunenge wanzwa.”
37 Then Chusai the friend of David went into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Saka shamwari yaDhavhidhi, Hushai, akasvika kuJerusarema Abhusaromu paakanga achipinda muguta.
