2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold Siba the servant of Miphiboseth came to meet him with two asses, laden with two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs, and a vessel of wine.
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi aakorirwo ahĩtũkĩte gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma o hanini-rĩ, agĩkora Ziba, ndungata ya Mefiboshethu, ĩmwetereire ĩmũtũnge. Aarĩ na ndigiri igĩrĩ ciatandĩkĩtwo na igakuua mĩgate magana meerĩ na imanjĩka cia thabibũ nyũmũ igana rĩmwe, na ikũmba igana cia ngũyũ, o na mondo ya ndibei.
2 And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king’s household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.
Nake mũthamaki akĩũria Ziba atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũrehe indo ici?” Nake Ziba agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndigiri nĩ cia gũkuua andũ a nyũmba ya mũthamaki, nayo mĩgate na matunda nĩ cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ, nayo ndibei nĩyakũnyuuo nĩ arĩa mangĩũrwo nĩ hinya gũkũ werũ-inĩ.”
3 And the king said: Where is thy master’s son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: Today will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
Mũthamaki agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũrũ wa mũriũ wa mwathi waku?” Nake Ziba akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aikarĩte Jerusalemu, tondũ areciiria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩĩkũnjookeria ũthamaki wa guka.’”
4 And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king.
Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Ziba atĩrĩ, “Indo ciothe iria iraarĩ cia Mefiboshethu kuuma rĩu nĩ ciaku.” Nake Ziba akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndakwĩnyiihĩria; reke njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku, wee mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa.”
5 And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on,
Mũthamaki Daudi aakuhĩrĩria Bahurimu-rĩ, mũndũ wa mũhĩrĩga wa nyũmba ya Saũlũ agĩũka oimĩte kuo. Nake eetagwo Shimei mũrũ wa Gera; agĩũka akĩrumanaga.
6 And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king.
Agĩikĩria Daudi na anene othe a mũthamaki mahiga, o na gũtuĩka mbũtũ ciothe cia ita na arangĩri maarĩ mwena wa Daudi wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
7 And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial.
Shimei akĩrumana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na kũu, thiĩ na kũu, wee mũiti wa thakame, wee kĩmaramari gĩkĩ!
8 The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood.
Jehova nĩakũrĩhĩtie, thakame yothe ĩrĩa wanaita ya nyũmba ya Saũlũ, ũrĩa wathanaga ithenya rĩake. Jehova nĩaneanĩte ũthamaki kũrĩ mũrũguo Abisalomu. Wee nĩũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ mwanangĩko tondũ ũrĩ mũiti wa thakame!”
9 And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akĩũria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ngui ĩno nguũ ĩrume mũthamaki mwathi wakwa? Reke ninge mũrĩmo ndĩmũtinie mũtwe.”
10 And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so?
No mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũnyiitanĩire ũndũ ũrĩkũ niĩ na inyuĩ, inyuĩ ariũ a Zeruia? Angĩkorwo ararumana tondũ Jehova nĩamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ruma Daudi,’ nũũ ũngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ?’”
11 And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him.
Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra Abishai na anene ake othe atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa uumĩte mũthiimo-inĩ wakwa, nĩwe ũraageria kũnduta muoyo. Githĩ Mũbenjamini ũyũ ndangĩgĩĩka makĩria ma ũguo! Tiganai nake; rekei arumane, tondũ Jehova nĩwe ũmwĩrĩte eke ũguo.
12 Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day.
Hihi no gũkorwo Jehova nĩekuona thĩĩna wakwa, na nĩakandĩha na wega nĩ ũndũ wa irumi ici ndĩrarumwo ũmũthĩ.”
13 And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill’s side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake magĩthiĩ na mbere magereire njĩra nake Shimei akagera mwena-inĩ wa kĩrĩma angʼethanĩire nao, agĩthiĩ akĩrumanaga, na akĩmũikagĩria mahiga, na akamũminjagĩria tĩĩri.
14 And the king and all the people with him came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Nake mũthamaki na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩkinya kũrĩa maathiiaga manogeete. Na kũu nĩkuo Daudi aahurũkĩire, akĩnogoka.
15 But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abisalomu na andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka Jerusalemu, na Ahithofeli agĩkorwo hamwe nao.
16 And when Chusai the Arachite, David’s friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hushai ũrĩa Mũariki, mũrata wa Daudi, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Abisalomu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene! Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene!”
17 And Absalom said to him: Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?
Abisalomu akĩũria Hushai atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩguo wendo ũrĩa wonetie mũrata waku? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiririe ũthiĩ na mũrata waku?”
18 And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide.
Nake Hushai akĩĩra Abisalomu atĩrĩ, “Aca, ũrĩa ũthuurĩtwo nĩ Jehova, na agathuurwo nĩ andũ aya, na agathuurwo nĩ andũ othe a Isiraeli, niĩ ndĩ wake, na njikare nake.
19 Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king’s son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also.
Ningĩ-rĩ, njagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtungatĩra ũũ? Githĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtungatĩra mũriũ? O ta ũrĩa ndaatungatĩire thoguo, noguo ngũgũtuungatĩra.”
20 And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.
Abisalomu akĩĩra Ahithofeli atĩrĩ, “Tũhe ũtaaro waku. Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
21 And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.
Ahithofeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Koma na thuriya cia thoguo iria aatigire nĩgeetha irorage gĩikaro kĩa mũthamaki. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmakaigua atĩ wee wĩmũthũũre biũ nĩ thoguo, namo moko ma andũ arĩa othe ũrĩ nao nĩmekũgĩa hinya.”
22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father’s concubines before all Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambĩra Abisalomu hema nyũmba igũrũ, nake agĩkoma na thuriya cia ithe mbere ya andũ othe a Isiraeli.
23 Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
No rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio mataaro marĩa Ahithofeli aaheanaga maahaanaga ta ma mũndũ ũhooete kĩrĩra kũrĩ Ngai. Ũguo nĩguo Daudi na Abisalomu mooyaga mataaro mothe ma Ahithofeli.
