2 Samuel 19
1 And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son:
Ọ dịghị anya ozi ruru Joab ntị sị, “Lee, eze na-akwa akwa, na-eru ụjụ nʼihi Absalọm.”
2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.
Mgbe ndị agha ya nụrụ na eze nọ nʼoke iru ụjụ nʼihi nwa ya, mmeri ha ghọọrọ ha ihu mgbarụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
3 And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.
Ndị agha Devid niile zobatasịrị onwe ha nʼime obodo dịka a ga-asị na ha bụ ndị ihere na-eme dịka ndị e meriri nʼagha.
4 And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.
Eze kpuchiri ihu ya nọgidekwa na-akwa akwa na-asị, “O, nwa m Absalọm! O! Absalọm nwa m, nwa m!”
5 Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have 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.
Emesịa, Joab jekwuuru eze nʼụlọ sị ya, “Anyị zọpụtara ndụ gị, na ndụ ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, na ndị nwunye gị, na ndị iko gị nwanyị taa, ma lee ka ị si emeso anyị. Ị na-eme ka ihere mee anyị, dịka a ga-asị na anyị mere ihe ọjọọ.
6 Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee.
Ị hụrụ ndị iro gị nʼanya, ma na-akpọ ndị hụrụ gị nʼanya asị. I meela ya ka ọ pụta ìhè taa na o nweghị ihe ndị ọchịagha gị na ndị agha gị bụ nʼanya gị. Ahụrụ m na ọ gaara abụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya gị ma a sịkwarị na Absalọm dị ndụ taa, ma anyị niile anwụọ.
7 Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.
Ugbu a, pụọ gaa kelee ndị agha gị. Eji m aha Onyenwe anyị na-aṅụ iyi na-asị na ọ bụrụ na ị pụghị nʼezi kelee ha, otu onye nʼime ha agaghị afọdụ nʼebe a mgbe chi taa jiri, mgbe ahụ ihe ga-ajọrọ gị njọ karịa ihe niile i jirila anya gị hụ na ndụ gị.”
8 Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.
Ya mere, eze biliri nọdụ ọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama. Mgbe ndị agha nụrụ na eze nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, ha niile pụtara guzo nʼihu ya. Ma nʼoge a, ndị Izrel niile agbalaala, onye ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
9 And all the people were at strife in all 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 for Absalom.
Nʼetiti ebo Izrel niile, ndị mmadụ nọ na-arụ ụka na-asị, “Eze napụtara anyị site nʼaka ndị iro anyị. Ọ bụ ya napụtara anyị site nʼaka ndị Filistia. Ma ugbu a, o sitela nʼala a gbapụ nʼihi Absalọm.”
10 But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?
Absalọm, onye anyị tere mmanụ ka ọ chịa anyị anwụọla nʼagha. Gịnị mere, unu a gaghị ekwu okwu i kpọghachite eze anyị?
11 And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)
Eze Devid zigaara Zadọk na Abịata, ndị nchụaja ozi a, “Jụọnụ ndị okenye Juda sị, ‘Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji bụrụ ndị ikpeazụ ime ka eze lọghachi nʼobi ya, ebe ọ bụ na ihe a na-ekwu nʼala Izrel niile eruola eze ntị nʼebe o bi?
12 You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?
Ụmụnne m ka unu bụ, ọkpụkpụ m na anụ ahụ m. Gịnị mere unu ga-eji bụrụ ndị ikpeazụ ga-akpọlata eze nʼụlọ ya?’
13 And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.
Gwakwanụ Amasa sị ya, ‘Ọ bụ na ị bụghị ọkpụkpụ m na anụ ahụ m? Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na ị bụghị ọchịagha m malite taa nʼọnọdụ Joab.’”
14 And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.
Amasa mere ka obi ndị okenye Juda rulata, dịka otu mmadụ. Ha zigara eze ozi, sị, “Lọghachikwute anyị, gị na ndị ohu gị niile.”
15 And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.
Mgbe ahụ, eze lọghachitere na Jọdan. Ndị ikom Juda bịarutere Gilgal izute eze, na ịkpọfeta ya Jọdan.
16 And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,
Shimei, nwa Gera, onye Benjamin, nwoke ahụ sitere na Bahurim, mere ngwangwa soro ndị ikom Juda pụta izute eze Devid.
17 With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,
Ya na puku ndị ikom Benjamin sokwa. Ziba, onyeozi Sọl, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom iri na ise, na iri ndị ozi abụọ ndị ozi ya, mekwara ngwangwa ịbịarute Jọdan tupu eze erute nʼebe ahụ.
18 They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king’s household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan,
Ha gabigara mmiri nʼebe ọ dị nta ịkwọfe ndị ụlọeze nʼụgbọ mmiri, na ime ihe ọbụla dị mma nʼanya ya. Mgbe Shimei nwa Gera gafere Jọdan, ọ dara nʼala nʼihu eze,
19 Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.
sị ya, “Ka Onyenwe m, ghara ịgụkọrọ m njehie m nye m. Echetakwala otu ohu gị si mee ihe nʼezighị ezi nʼụbọchị onyenwe m hapụrụ Jerusalem pụọ. Ka eze ghara itinye ya nʼobi ya,
20 For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.
nʼihi na mụ bụ ohu gị maara na m mehiere, ma taa abịara m dịka onye mbụ site nʼagbụrụ Josef, ịbịa zute onyenwe m, bụ eze.”
21 But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?
Abishai nwa Zeruaya jụrụ eze sị ya, “Ọ bụ na Shimei agaghị anwụ nʼihi ihe a? Nʼihi nkọcha ọ kọchara onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ bụ eze.”
22 And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?
Ma Devid sịrị, “Gịnị jikọtara mụ na unu ụmụ ndị ikom Zeruaya, nke mere na taa unu aghọọla ndị na-emegide m? O kwesiri ka e gbuo onye ọbụla nʼala Izrel taa? Ọ bụ na m amaghị na taa, abụ m eze Izrel?”
23 And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.
Ya mere eze gwara Shimei sị, “I gaghị anwụ. Eze jiri ịṅụ iyi kwee ya nkwa a.”
24 And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.
Mefiboshet, nwa nwa Sọl bịarukwara izute eze. Site nʼụbọchị eze hapụrụ Jerusalem, ọ sabeghị ụkwụ ya, ma uwe ya, ọ kpụghịkwa afụọnụ ya tutu ruo mgbe eze lọtara nʼudo.
25 And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?
Mgbe o si Jerusalem pụta izute eze, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Mefiboshet, gịnị mere i soghị m gaa?”
26 And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.
Ọ zara ya sị, “Onyenwe m, eze, agwara m Ziba ohu m ka o doziere m ịnyịnya ibu m, ka m soro eze, ma ebe m bụ onye ngwụrọ, ọ ghọgburu m.
27 Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.
O kwuluru ohu gị nʼebe onyenwe m bụ eze nọ. Ma onyenwe m bụ eze dịka mmụọ ozi Chineke, nʼihi ya mee m ihe masịrị gị.
28 For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?
Nʼagbanyeghị na ụlọ nna m niile dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe onyenwe m bụ eze nọ, ma i nyere ohu gị ọnọdụ nʼetiti ndị na-eri nri nʼelu tebul gị. Gịnị bụ ikike ọzọ m nwere iji rịọọ eze arịrịọ?”
29 Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.
Eze sịrị ya, “Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ka na-ekwuru okwu? Enyela m gị na Ziba iwu ka unu kee ala ahụ nʼetiti onwe unu.”
30 And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.
Mefiboshet sịrị eze, “Ka o were ihe niile ebe onyenwe m bụ eze lọghachiri nʼụlọ ya nʼudo.”
31 Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.
Bazilai onye Gilead sikwa na Rogelim bịa iso eze kwọfee osimiri Jọdan, na izilaga ya site nʼebe ahụ.
32 Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.
Nʼoge a, Bazilai bụ agadi nwoke, onye gbara iri afọ asatọ. Ọ lekọtara eze mgbe eze nọ na Mahanaim, nʼihi na ọ bụ ọgaranya.
33 And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.
Eze gwara Bazilai sị ya, “Soro m gafee osimiri ka i soro m biri na Jerusalem. Aga m elekọtakwa gị.”
34 And Berzellai 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?
Ma Bazilai zara eze sị ya, “Afọ ole ka ọ fọdụrụ m ịdị ndụ m ga-eji soro eze gaa Jerusalem?
35 I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?
Agbaala m iri afọ asatọ. Enwere m ike ịkọwa ihe dị iche nʼetiti ihe dị mma na nke na-adịghị mma. O nwere ụzọ ohu gị si anụ ụtọ ihe oriri na ihe ọṅụṅụ? O nwere ụzọ m si anụ olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-abụ abụ? Gịnị mere ohu gị ga-eji buru ibu arọ nye onyenwe m na eze?
36 I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.
Ohu gị ga-eso eze gafee osimiri Jọdan, maọbụ nʼihi gịnị ka eze ga-eji nye m onyinye ọzọ dị iche.
37 But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.
Biko, ka ohu gị laghachi, ka m nwee ike nwụọ nʼobodo m, nʼakụkụ ili nna m na nne m. Ma lee ohu gị bụ Kimham, ka o soro onyenwe m, bụ eze gafee. Gị mekwara ya ihe ọbụla dị mma nʼanya gị.”
38 Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.
Eze zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, Kimham ga-eso m gafee, aga m emekwara ya ihe ọma niile ị rịọrọ m.”
39 And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.
Ya mere, ndị ahụ niile gabigara Jọdan, mgbe ahụ eze gabigakwara. Eze suturu Bazilai ọnụ, gọziekwa ya, Bazilai laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.
40 So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.
Mgbe eze gabigara ruo Gilgal, Kimham sokwa ya gafee. Ndị agha Juda niile na otu ọkara ndị agha Izrel niile mere ka eze gabiga.
41 Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
Ọ dịghị anya, ndị ikom Izrel niile nọ na-abịakwute eze na-asị ya, “Gịnị mere ụmụnna anyị, ndị ikom Juda, jiri zopu eze kpọfeta ya na ezinaụlọ na ndị ikom ya niile osimiri Jọdan?”
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us?
Ma ndị ikom Juda zara ndị ikom Izrel, “Anyị mere nke a nʼihi na eze bụ onye metụtara ahụ anyị. Gịnị mere iwe ji ewe unu maka nke a? Anyị eriela ihe ọbụla site na nri eze? Ka anyị anarala ihe ọbụla dobere onwe anyị?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.
Ma ndị ikom Izrel zara sị, “Anyị dị ebo iri nʼIzrel, nʼihi ya, anyị nwere oke iri nʼime Devid karịa unu. Gịnị mere unu ji lelịa anyị anya? Chetakwanụ na ọ bụ anyị bu ụzọ kwuo okwu maka nlọta ya ịbụ eze anyị ọzọ.” Ma ndị ikom Juda ejighị olu ọma nye ndị Izrel ọsịsa.
