2 Samuel 19
1 And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
Nake Joabu akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩararĩra agĩcakayagĩra Abisalomu.”
2 Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne.
Naguo ũhootani wa mũthenya ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita ciothe ũkĩgarũrũka, ũgĩtuĩka macakaya, tondũ mũthenya ũcio mbũtũ cia ita nĩciaiguire gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mũriũ.”
3 And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.
Mũthenya ũcio andũ magĩcooka itũũra-inĩ inene na hitho, o ta ũrĩa andũ macookaga na hitho maconokete rĩrĩa moorĩte kuuma mbaara-inĩ.
4 So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.
Nake mũthamaki akĩhumbĩra ũthiũ, akĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa! Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa!”
5 Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu agĩtoonya nyũmba kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩũconorithĩtie andũ aku othe, arĩa marĩkĩtie kũhonokia muoyo waku, na mĩoyo ya ariũ aku na ya airĩtu aku, na mĩoyo ya atumia aku o na ya thuriya ciaku.
6 In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well.
Wee wendete arĩa magũthũire, na ũkamena arĩa makwendete. Ũmũthĩ nĩwonanĩtie biũ atĩ ndũrĩ bata na anene a mbũtũ cia ita o na andũ ao. Niĩ nguona atĩ wee gĩkeno gĩaku kĩngĩrĩ rĩrĩa Abisalomu angĩrĩ muoyo ũmũthĩ na ithuothe tũkorwo tũkuĩte.
7 Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto.
Rĩu ũkĩra ũthiĩ ũkoomĩrĩrie andũ aku ũmekĩre hinya. Niĩ ngwĩhĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova atĩ aakorwo ndũkuuma ũthiĩ gũtanatuka, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgũkorwo mwena waku. Ũndũ ũyũ ũgũtuĩka mũũru kũrĩ we gũkĩra maũndũ mothe mooru marĩa managũkora kuuma ũrĩ mũnini nginya rĩu.”
8 Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩũkĩra, agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩhingo-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ,” othe magĩũka mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoorĩte magacooka kwao mĩciĩ.
9 Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom.
Mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, andũ othe maakararanagia makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩwe watũkũũrire kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciitũ; nĩwe watũhonokirie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti. No rĩu nĩorĩte akoima bũrũri-inĩ akĩũrĩra Abisalomu;
10 And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?
nake Abisalomu ũrĩa twaitĩrĩirie maguta atũthamakĩre-rĩ, nĩakuĩrĩire mbaara-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwagĩte kwaria ũhoro wa gũcookia mũthamaki nĩkĩ?”
11 But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house)
Mũthamaki Daudi nĩatũmanire kũrĩ Zadoku na Abiatharu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai, makeerwo atĩrĩ, “Ũriai athuuri a Juda atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrigie thuutha harĩ gũcookia mũthamaki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, kuona atĩ ũrĩa kũraario Isiraeli guothe nĩgũkinyĩire mũthamaki kũrĩa aikaraga?
12 Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?
Inyuĩ mũrĩ ariũ a baba, tũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe, na thakame ĩmwe. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma mũtuĩke a kũrigia thuutha kũinũkia mũthamaki?’
13 Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab.
Ningĩ mwĩre Amasa atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ wee ndũrĩ wa mũthiimo wakwa, na thakame yakwa? Ngai arothũũra o na anjĩke ũũru makĩria, angĩkorwo kuuma rĩu gũthiĩ na mbere wee tiwe ũgũtuĩka mũnene wa mbũtũ ciakwa cia ita ithenya rĩa Joabu.’”
14 So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants.
Nake mũthamaki akĩguucĩrĩria ngoro cia andũ othe a Juda ta ciarĩ ngoro ya mũndũ ũmwe. Nao magĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Cooka, wee hamwe na andũ aku othe.”
15 So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩcooka agĩthiĩ agĩkinya Jorodani. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Juda nĩmookĩte Giligali nĩguo matũnge mũthamaki mamũringie Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
16 And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid,
Nake Shimei mũrũ wa Gera, Mũbenjamini kuuma Bahurimu, agĩikũrũka na ihenya marĩ na andũ a Juda nĩguo magatũnge Mũthamaki Daudi.
17 And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king.
Nake aarĩ na andũ a Benjamini ngiri ĩmwe, o hamwe na Ziba ndungata ya mũciĩ wa Saũlũ, na ariũ ake ikũmi na atano, na ndungata mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nao makĩhanyũka nginya Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani harĩa mũthamaki aarĩ.
18 And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden,
Makĩringĩra iriũko-inĩ nĩguo maringie andũ a nyũmba ya mũthamaki na meeke o ũrĩa angĩenda. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Shimei mũrũ wa Gera aaringire Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani akĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya mũthamaki,
19 And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart.
na akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩ atige kũndua mwĩhia. Tiga kũririkana ũrĩa ndungata yaku yekire mahĩtia mũthenya ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oimire Jerusalemu. Mũthamaki nĩatige kũiga ũhoro ũcio meciiria-inĩ make.
20 For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King.
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndungata yaku nĩnjũũĩ atĩ nĩnjĩhĩtie, no ũmũthĩ nĩndoka haha ndĩ mũndũ wa mbere wa nyũmba yothe ya andũ a Jusufu; ndaikũrũka njũke ndũnge mũthamaki mwathi wakwa.”
21 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?
Ningĩ Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Shimei ndagĩrĩire nĩ kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ekĩte? Nĩarumire mũitĩrĩrie maguta wa Jehova.”
22 And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel?
Nake Daudi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũnyiitanĩire ũndũ ũrĩkũ na inyuĩ, inyuĩ ariũ a Zeruia? Ũmũthĩ nĩguo mũgũtuĩka thũ ciakwa! No kũhoteke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ooragwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli ũmũthĩ? Githĩ niĩ ndikĩũĩ atĩ ũmũthĩ nĩ niĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli?”
23 Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩĩra Shimei atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgũkua.” Nake mũthamaki akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa.
24 And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace.
Na rĩrĩ, Mefiboshethu, mwana wa mũriũ wa Saũlũ, o nake nĩaikũrũkire agĩthiĩ gũtũnga mũthamaki. Nake ndethambĩte magũrũ kana akenja nderu, o na kana akahũũra nguo ciake kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa mũthamaki aathiire nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aacookire arĩ na thayũ.
25 And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
Rĩrĩa ooimire Jerusalemu agatũnge mũthamaki, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mefiboshethu, nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũthiĩ na niĩ?”
26 And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame.
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndungata yaku ndĩ mwonju, ‘Ndoigire atĩrĩ, nĩngũigĩrĩra ndigiri yakwa matandĩko na ndĩmĩhaice, nĩguo hote gũthiĩ na mũthamaki’. No Ziba ndungata yakwa akĩngunyanĩra.
27 And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure.
Na nĩacambĩtie ndungata yaku kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. Mwathi wakwa mũthamaki ahaana ta mũraika wa Ngai; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩka ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.
28 For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king?
Njiaro ciothe cia guka ciagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũragwo nĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. No wee nĩwaheire ndungata yaku handũ na arĩa marĩĩagĩra metha-inĩ yaku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndĩ na kĩhooto kĩrĩkũ gĩa gũgũkaĩra rĩngĩ mũthamaki wakwa?”
29 And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.
Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma warie makĩria ma ũguo? Ndaathana atĩ wee na Ziba mũgayane mũgũnda.”
30 And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.
Mefiboshethu akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Reke oe mĩgũnda yothe, kuona atĩ wee mwathi wakwa nĩũcookete mũciĩ na thayũ.”
31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.
Ningĩ Barizilai, ũrĩa Mũgileadi agĩikũrũka kuuma Rogelimu akaringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani me hamwe na mũthamaki, na amumagarie njĩra-inĩ ya kuuma kũu.
32 Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance.
Na rĩrĩ, Barizilai aarĩ mũthuuri mũkũrũ mũno wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana. Nĩwe waheaga mũthamaki irio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikarĩte Mahanaimu, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũtongu mũno.
33 And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.
Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra Barizilai atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringe mũrĩmo nawe, tũthiĩ ũikare hamwe na niĩ Jerusalemu, na nĩndĩrĩkũheaga irio.”
34 And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?
Nowe Barizilai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mĩaka ĩngĩ ĩigana atĩa niĩ ngũtũũra muoyo nĩguo nyambate thiĩ Jerusalemu hamwe na mũthamaki?
35 I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king?
Rĩu ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana. No menye ũtiganu wa ũndũ mwega na mũũru? Ndungata yaku yahota gũcama kĩrĩa ĩrarĩa na kĩrĩa ĩranyua? No hote kũigua mĩgambo ya arũme na ya andũ-a-nja makĩina? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma ndungata yaku ĩtuĩke mũrigo ũngĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa?
36 Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?
Ndungata yaku nĩĩkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani hamwe na mũthamaki handũ ha itĩĩna inini, no nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma mũthamaki andĩhe niĩ na njĩra ĩyo?
37 I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee.
Reke ndungata yaku ĩcooke, nĩgeetha ngaakuĩra itũũra-inĩ rĩakwa hakuhĩ na mbĩrĩra ya baba na maitũ. No rĩrĩ, ndungata yaku Kimuhamu nĩĩringe hamwe na mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. Mĩĩke o ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.”
38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kimuhamu nĩekũringa hamwe na niĩ, na nĩngũmwĩka o ũrĩa ũngĩona kwagĩrĩire. Na ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda kuuma kũrĩ niĩ nĩ ngũgwĩkĩra.”
39 So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, nake mũthamaki agĩcooka akĩringa. Mũthamaki akĩmumunya Barizilai na akĩmũrathima, nake Barizilai agĩcooka gwake mũciĩ.
40 Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaringire mũrĩmo agĩkinya Giligali, Kimuhamu akĩringa hamwe nake. Nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita cia Juda na nuthu ya mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli ikĩringia mũthamaki.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden?
Thuutha wa kahinda kanini andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmookaga kũrĩ mũthamaki makamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire ariũ a baba, andũ a Juda, matũtunye mũthamaki na wara, na mamũcookie nyũmba yake kuuma mũrĩmo wa Jorodani, hamwe na andũ ake othe?”
42 And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes?
Andũ othe a Juda magĩcookeria andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Twekire ũguo tondũ mũthamaki nĩ wa nyũmba iitũ. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrakario nĩ ũhoro ũcio? Nĩ irio tũrĩĩte cia mũthamaki? Nĩ harĩ kĩndũ twĩyoeire ithuĩ ene?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.
Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩcookeria andũ a Juda atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ na icunjĩ ikũmi kũrĩ mũthamaki, na hamwe na ũguo-rĩ, tũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gũtuĩka a Daudi gũkĩra inyuĩ.
