2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom: 'Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night;
Ahithofel nowachone Abisalom niya, “Kane bed ni an in, to dine ayiero ji alufu apar gariyo kendo awuokgo otieno ma kawuononi mondo alaw Daudi;
2 and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;
mi amonje kapod ool kendo onyosore. Anami kihondko malich make mi ji duto man kode ring weye. Daneg mana ruoth kende
3 and I will bring back all the people unto thee; when all shall have returned, save the man whom thou seekest, all the people will be in peace.'
eka aduog ji duto iri. Ka ngʼat midwaro ngimaneni otho; to ji duto noduog maonge ngʼama nohinyre.”
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Wachni ne nenore ni ber ne Abisalom gi jodong Israel duto.
5 Then said Absalom: 'Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.'
To Abisalom nowacho niya, “Luonguru Hushai ja-Arki, mondo en bende wawinj gima owacho.”
6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spoke unto him, saying: 'Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner; shall we do after his saying? if not, speak thou.'
Kane Hushai osebiro ire, Abisalom nowacho niya, “Ma e rieko mane Ahithofel osengʼado. Owinjore watim kamano koso? To ka ok kamano to kare nyiswa ane kaka iparo.”
7 And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.'
Hushai nodwoko Abisalom niya, “Rieko ma Ahithofel ongʼado kawuononi ok ber.
8 Hushai said moreover: 'Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are embittered in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Ingʼeyo ni wuonu gi joge gin jolweny, bende gin joma ger mana ka ondiek moma nyithinde. Bende nyaka ingʼe ni wuonu en jalweny mongʼith; ok obi nindo kama jolweny nindoe.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some place; and it will come to pass, when they fall upon them at the first, and whosoever heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom;
Kata mana sani koro osepondo e bur moro kata mana kamachielo; kipo ni en ema okwongo omonjo jogi, ngʼato angʼata mowinjo wachno biro wacho ni, ‘Oseneg jolweny mag Abisalom.’
10 then even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
Kata mana jalweny ma jachir ma chunye chalo gi chuny sibuor, biro kirni ka luoro ohewe, nimar Israel duto ongʼeyo wuonu ni en jalweny kendo ni ji man kode gin jochir.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
“Kuom mano an angʼadoni rieko kama: Chok jo-Israel duto, chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba gin joma ngʼeny ka kwoyo man e dho nam, to in mondo itel nyimgi ka ukedo.
12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one.
Eka wanamonje kamoro amora minyalo yude kendo wanapodh kuome mana ka thoo momoko e lum maonge ngʼato kuomgi kata achiel manowe kangima.
13 Moreover, if he withdraw himself into a city, then shall all Israel bring up ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the valley until there be not one small stone found there.'
Kaponi odhi mopondo e dala moro, to jo-Israel duto nokel tonde e dalano kendo wanaywa ohinga mar dalano mi wamuke kwatere e holo ma kata mana bathe matin ok noyudi.”
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said: 'The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.' — For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
Abisalom kod ji duto mag Israel nowacho niya, “Rieko mar Hushai ja-Arki ber moloyo mar Ahithofel.” Nimar Jehova Nyasaye noramo ni nyaka oroch rieko maber mane Ahithofel ongʼado mondo okelni Abisalom masira.
15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests: 'Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Hushai nonyiso Zadok gi Abiathar, ma jodolo niya, “Ahithofel osengʼado rieko ni Abisalom gi jodong Israel mondo otim ma gi macha, to an bende asengʼado rieko mondo gitim mana kama.
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but in any wise pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.'
Koro oruru wach piyo piyo mondo unyis Daudi ni, ‘Kik inindi e dho wath manie thim; to nyaka ingʼadi idhi loka machielo nono to ruoth gi joma ni kode notieki.’”
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David; for they might not be seen to come into the city.
Jonathan gi Ahimaz ne ni En Rogel. Nyako moro ma jatich ne onego ternegi wach, to gin ne giterone ruoth Daudi nikech ne ok gidwar ni ngʼato onegi ka gidonjo e dala maduongʼno.
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom; and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
To kata kamano rawera moro nonenogi mowacho ni Abisalom. Omiyo ji ariyogi nowuok piyo kendo negidhi Bahurim e od ngʼat moro. Ne en gi soko e laru mare, kendo negidonjo e iye.
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and strewed groats thereon; and nothing was known.
Chi ngʼatno nokawo gimoro ma oumogo soko bangʼe ne omoyo cham e wiye. To onge ngʼama nofwenyo sokono.
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house; and they said: 'Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' And the woman said unto them: 'They are gone over the brook of water.' And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Kane jo-Abisalom obiro e od dhakoni, negipenje niya, “Ere Ahimaz gi Jonathan?” Dhakono nodwoko niya, “Ne gisengʼado aora.” Jogi nodwero to ne ok giyudo ngʼato, mine gidok Jerusalem.
21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David: 'Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
Ka jogo nosedhi, ji ariyogi nowuok e soko mi gidhi gitero ni ruoth Daudi wach. Negiwachone niya, “Wuogi ingʼad aora piyo, Ahithofel osengʼado rieko machal kama kuomi.”
22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over the Jordan.
Omiyo Daudi gi ji duto mane ni kode nowuok mongʼado aora Jordan. Kane piny yawore to ne onge ngʼat modongʼ kapok ongʼado Jordan.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and got him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Kane Ahithofel oneno ni rieko mane ongʼado ok oluw, noidho pundane modok dalagi e ode. Noloso weche mag ode; bangʼe ne odere. Omiyo notho moike e bur wuon mare.
24 When David was come to Mahanaim, Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Daudi nodhi Mahanaim, to Abisalom nongʼado aora Jordan kod jo-Israel duto.
25 And Absalom had set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Jesraelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
Abisalom noseketo Amasa mondo otel ni jolweny kar Joab. Amasa ne wuod ngʼat moro miluongo ni Jetha, ja-Israel mane okendo Abigael, nyar Nahash mane nyamin Zeruya ma min Joab.
26 And Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Jo-Israel gi Abisalom nojot e piny Gilead.
27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Kane Daudi obiro Mahanaim, Shobi wuod Nahash maa Raba e piny jo-Amon, gi Makir wuod Amiel maa Lo Debar, gi Barzilai ma ja-Gilead maa Rogelim,
28 brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,
nokelo gige nindo gi bakunde to gi gik mochwe gi lowo. Bende negikelo ngano gi shairi, mogo gi cham molodi, oganda gi ngʼor,
29 and honey, and curd, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat; for they said: 'The people is hungry, and faint, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
mor kich gi chak mopoto, rombe, cha dhiangʼ mopoto mongʼin ni Daudi gi joge mondo ocham. Nimar negiwacho niya, “Jogi osebedo mool kendo riyo ohewogi e thim.”
