2 Samuel 19
1 And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
Ọ dịghị anya ozi ruru Joab ntị sị, “Lee, eze na-akwa akwa, na-eru ụjụ nʼihi Absalọm.”
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.
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 went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.
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 So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.
Eze kpuchiri ihu ya nọgidekwa na-akwa akwa na-asị, “O, nwa m Absalọm! O! Absalọm nwa m, nwa m!”
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?
Absalọm, onye anyị tere mmanụ ka ọ chịa anyị anwụọla nʼagha. Gịnị mere, unu a gaghị ekwu okwu i kpọghachite eze anyị?
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)
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 Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Mgbe ahụ, eze lọghachitere na Jọdan. Ndị ikom Juda bịarutere Gilgal izute eze, na ịkpọfeta ya Jọdan.
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,
Shimei, nwa Gera, onye Benjamin, nwoke ahụ sitere na Bahurim, mere ngwangwa soro ndị ikom Juda pụta izute eze Devid.
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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?
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 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?
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 Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.
Ya mere eze gwara Shimei sị, “I gaghị anwụ. Eze jiri ịṅụ iyi kwee ya nkwa a.”
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.
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 was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
Mgbe o si Jerusalem pụta izute eze, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Mefiboshet, gịnị mere i soghị m gaa?”
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.
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 Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.
Mefiboshet sịrị eze, “Ka o were ihe niile ebe onyenwe m bụ eze lọghachiri nʼụlọ ya nʼudo.”
31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.
Bazilai onye Gilead sikwa na Rogelim bịa iso eze kwọfee osimiri Jọdan, na izilaga ya site nʼebe ahụ.
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.
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 vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.
Eze gwara Bazilai sị ya, “Soro m gafee osimiri ka i soro m biri na Jerusalem. Aga m elekọtakwa gị.”
34 And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?
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 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?
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 Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?
Ohu gị ga-eso eze gafee osimiri Jọdan, maọbụ nʼihi gịnị ka eze ga-eji nye m onyinye ọzọ dị iche.
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.
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 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.
Eze zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, Kimham ga-eso m gafee, aga m emekwara ya ihe ọma niile ị rịọrọ m.”
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.
Ya mere, ndị ahụ niile gabigara Jọdan, mgbe ahụ eze gabigakwara. Eze suturu Bazilai ọnụ, gọziekwa ya, Bazilai laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.
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.
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 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?
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 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?
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 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.
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.
