< 2 Samuel 16 >
1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
Dhavhidhi akati afamba chinhambwe chiduku pamusoro pegomo, akaona Zibha, muranda waMefibhosheti akamumirira. Akanga ane mbongoro mbiri dzakanga dzakatakudzwa mazana maviri ezvingwa, nezana ramakeke amaonde nedende rewaini.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What mean you by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
Mambo akabvunza Zibha akati, “Ko, wauyirei nezvinhu izvi?” Zibha akapindura akati, “Mbongoro ndedzeveimba yamambo kuti vatasve, zvingwa nemichero ndezvavarume kuti vadye, uye waini ndeyokupedza nyota yeavo vanga vaneta nokuda kwerenje.”
3 And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Ko, muzukuru watenzi wako aripi?” Zibha akati kwaari, “Ari kugara muJerusarema, nokuti anoti iye, ‘Nhasi veimba yaIsraeri vachandidzorera umambo hwasekuru vangu.’”
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, your are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly plead to you that I may find grace in your sight, my lord, O king.
Ipapo mambo akati kuna Zibha, “Tarira, zvose zvanga zviri zvaMefibhosheti zvava zvako.” Zibha akati, “Ndinozvideredza. Dai ndawana nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu mambo.”
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
Mambo Dhavhidhi paakanga ava kusvika kuBhahurimi, mumwe murume aibva kurudzi rumwe chete nemhuri yaSauro akabudamo. Zita rake ainzi Shimei mwanakomana waGera, uye aituka paaibuda.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
Akapotsera mabwe kuna Dhavhidhi namakurukota ose amambo, kunyange zvazvo varwi vose navachengeti vake vakanga vari kurudyi nokuruboshwe rwake.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man, and you man of Belial:
Shimei akatuka achiti, “Ibva kuno, ibva kuno, iwe munhu weropa, munhu akaipa!
8 The LORD has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose position you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.
Jehovha akuripira ropa rose rawakadeura muimba yaSauro, uyo wawakatorera chigaro chokutonga. Jehovha apa ushe kumwanakomana wako Abhusaromu. Wasvika pakuparara nokuti uri munhu weropa!”
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray you, and take off his head.
Ipapo Abhishai mwanakomana waZeruya akati kuna mambo, “Ko, iyi imbwa yakafa ingatukirei ishe mambo wangu? Regai ndiende ndinodimura musoro wake.”
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, all of you sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD has said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore have you done so?
Asi mambo akati, “Ko, ini nemi takafanana pakudii, imi vanakomana vaZeruya? Ko, kana achituka nokuti Jehovha ati kwaari, ‘Tuka Dhavhidhi,’ ndiani angati, ‘Ko, unoitirei izvi?’”
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came out of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Abhishai namakorokota ake ose, “Mwana wangu, anova wenyama yangu chaiyo, ari kuda kundiuraya. Ko, kuzoti uyu zvake, muBhenjamini! Musiyei akadaro; regai atuke, nokuti Jehovha amutuma.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
Zvichida Jehovha angaona kutambura kwangu uye zvimwe angandiripira zvakanaka nokuda kwokutukwa kwandiri kugamuchira nhasi.”
13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakaramba vachifamba nenzira, Shimei paakanga achifamba ari kuno rumwe rutivi rwegomo, achituka achingoenda achipotsera matombo kwaari achimupfumburira guruva.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Mambo navanhu vose vaiva naye vakasvika kwavaienda vaneta. Akazororapo.
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
Panguva iyi, Abhusaromu navarume vose veIsraeri vakasvika muJerusarema, uye Ahitoferi aiva naye.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
Zvino Hushai muAriki, shamwari yaDhavhidhi, akaenda kuna Abhusaromu akandoti kwaari, “Mambo ngaararame nokusingaperi! Mambo ngaararame nokusingaperi!”
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not with your friend?
Abhusaromu akabvunza Hushai akati, “Urwu ndirwo rudo rwaunoratidza shamwari yako here? Sei usina kuenda neshamwari yako?”
18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
Hushai akati kuna Abhusaromu, “Kwete, iye akasarudzwa naJehovha, navanhu ava uye navarume vose veIsraeri, ini ndichava wake, uye ndicharamba ndinaye.
19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence.
Zvakarezve, ndingagoshandira aniko? Ko, handifaniri kushandira mwanakomana? Sezvandaishandira baba venyu, saizvozvo ndichakushandirai.”
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
Abhusaromu akati kuna Ahitoferi, “Tipewo zano rako. Toita sei?”
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto your father's concubines, which he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that you are abhorred of your father: then shall the hands of all that are with you be strong.
Ahitoferi akapindura akati, “Vatai navarongo vababa venyu avo vakasiyiwa vakachengeta muzinda wamambo. Ipapo Israeri yose ichanzwa kuti mazviita chinhu chinonhuhwa mumhuno dzababa venyu, uye maoko avanhu vose vanokutsigirai achasimbiswa.”
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Ipapo vakamisira Abhusaromu tende pamusoro pedenga remba, uye akavata navarongo vababa vake vaIsraeri vose vachiona.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
Zvino mumazuva iwayo zano raipiwa naAhitoferi raiita seromunhu anobvunza kuna Mwari. Ndizvozvo zvaifungwa naDhavhidhi pamwe chete naAbhusaromu pamusoro pamazano aipiwa naAhitoferi.
