2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
Awo mu mirembe gya Dawudi ne waba enjala okumala emyaka esatu, Dawudi ne yeeyongera nnyo okunoonya Mukama. Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Ennyumba ya Sawulo ejjudde omusaayi, kubanga yatta Abagibyoni.”
2 Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
Kabaka n’akuŋŋaanya Abagibyoni n’ayogera gye bali. (Abagibyoni tebaali Bayisirayiri naye baali bakaawonawo ab’oku baana b’Abamoli. Abayisirayiri baali babalayiridde obutabakola kabi, naye Sawulo olw’obuggya bwe yalina n’agezaako okubazikiriza ku lwa Isirayiri ne Yuda.)
3 And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
Dawudi n’abuuza Abagibyoni nti, “Mbakolere ki? Nnaabatangirira ntya, mmwe okuwa Isirayiri, obusika bwa Mukama omukisa?”
4 The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
Abagibyoni ne bamuddamu nti, “Kye twetaaga okuva eri Sawulo oba ennyumba ye, si kigambo kya ffeeza oba zaabu, so tetulina buyinza kutta muntu yenna mu Isirayiri.” Dawudi n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki kye mwagala mbakolere?”
5 Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
Ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Ku lw’omusajja eyatuyigganyanga n’ayagala okutuuzikiriza, ne tubulwako ne we tubeera mu Isirayiri,
6 Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
tuwe musanvu ku batabani be tubatte tubaanike mu maaso ga Mukama e Gibea ekya Sawulo, omulonde wa Mukama.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Ndibabawa.”
7 But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
Kabaka n’alekawo Mefibosesi mutabani wa Yonasaani, mutabani wa Sawulo.
8 But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Naye kabaka n’addira Alumoni ne Mefibosesi batabani ba Lizupa muwala wa Aya bombi be yazaalira Sawulo, ne batabani ba Mikali muwala wa Sawulo be yazaalira Abuliyeri mutabani wa Baluzirayi Omumekolasi Sawulo be yalabiriranga bataano, n’abawaayo.
9 And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
N’abawaayo eri Abagibyoni, ne babatta ne babaanika ku lusozi mu maaso ga Mukama. Bonna omusanvu ne battibwa mu nnaku ezaasooka ez’amakungula nga batandika amakungula ga sayiri.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
Lizupa muwala wa Aya n’addira ebibukutu, n’abyaliira ku lwazi, okuva ku ntandikwa ey’amakungula okutuusa enkuba lwe yatonnya okuva mu ggulu, n’ataganya nnyonyi za mu bbanga newaakubadde ensolo enkambwe okulya emirambo gyabwe emisana oba ekiro.
11 And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
Dawudi bwe yategeezebwa, Lizupa omuzaana wa Sawulo, muwala wa Aya, kye yakola,
12 And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
n’agenda, n’aggya amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani ku bantu ab’e Yabesugireyaadi, Abafirisuuti gye baagawanika, ku lunaku kwe battira Sawulo e Girubowa, abaali bagatutte mu bubba mu kifo ekigazi eky’abantu bonna e Besusani.
13 So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
Dawudi n’aggyayo amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani, n’agakuŋŋaanya n’amagumba g’abo abattibwa ne baanikibwa.
14 And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
Ne baziika amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani mu ntaana ya Kiisi kitaawe wa Sawulo, e Zeera mu nsi ya Benyamini, ne bakola byonna kabaka bye yalagira. Oluvannyuma Katonda n’addamu okusaba kw’ensi.
15 Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
Ne waba nate olutalo wakati w’Abafirisuuti n’Abayisirayiri. Dawudi n’aserengeta n’abasajja be okulwana n’Abafirisuuti, n’akoowa nnyo.
16 Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
Awo Isubibenobu omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja agawanvu yalina effumu ng’obuzito bw’omutwe gw’alyo kilo ssatu n’ekitundu ng’alina n’ekitala ekiggya, n’ayogera nti agenda okutta Dawudi.
17 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
Naye Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’adduukirira Dawudi, n’alumba Omufirisuuti, n’amutta. Awo abasajja ba Dawudi ne bamulayirira nti, “Tokyatabaala naffe ettaala ya Isirayiri ereme okuzikira.”
18 And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
Bwe waayitawo ebbanga ne wabaawo olutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti e Gobu. Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Safu omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja gali agawanvu.
19 And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
Ne wabaawo nate olutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti e Gobu, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri Omubesirekemu n’atta muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
20 Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
Ne waba olutalo olulala e Gaasi, ne wabaayo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyalina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono n’ebigere mukaaga ku buli kigere, byonna awamu abiri mu bina. Era naye yali muzzukulu w’agasajja gali agawanvu ennyo.
21 And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
Bwe yasoomooza Isirayiri, Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeya, muganda wa Dawudi, n’amutta.
22 These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
Abo abana baali bazzukulu b’agasajja gali agawanvu ennyo mu Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mukono gwa Dawudi ne basajja be.
