2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was passed a little beyond the top [of the mount], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth came toward him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [cakes] of dried figs, and a bottle of wine.
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi aakorirwo ahĩtũkĩte gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma o hanini-rĩ, agĩkora Ziba, ndungata ya Mefiboshethu, ĩmwetereire ĩmũtũnge. Aarĩ na ndigiri igĩrĩ ciatandĩkĩtwo na igakuua mĩgate magana meerĩ na imanjĩka cia thabibũ nyũmũ igana rĩmwe, na ikũmba igana cia ngũyũ, o na mondo ya ndibei.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou with these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and the dried figs for the young men to eat; and the wine to drink for such as may be faint in the wilderness.
Nake mũthamaki akĩũria Ziba atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũrehe indo ici?” Nake Ziba agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndigiri nĩ cia gũkuua andũ a nyũmba ya mũthamaki, nayo mĩgate na matunda nĩ cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ, nayo ndibei nĩyakũnyuuo nĩ arĩa mangĩũrwo nĩ hinya gũkũ werũ-inĩ.”
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he remaineth at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore unto me the kingdom of my father.
Mũthamaki agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũrũ wa mũriũ wa mwathi waku?” Nake Ziba akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aikarĩte Jerusalemu, tondũ areciiria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩĩkũnjookeria ũthamaki wa guka.’”
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine shall be all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I prostrate myself; let me but find grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king.
Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Ziba atĩrĩ, “Indo ciothe iria iraarĩ cia Mefiboshethu kuuma rĩu nĩ ciaku.” Nake Ziba akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndakwĩnyiihĩria; reke njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku, wee mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa.”
5 And when King David came as far as Bachurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'i, the son of Gera, coming forth, and cursing.
Mũthamaki Daudi aakuhĩrĩria Bahurimu-rĩ, mũndũ wa mũhĩrĩga wa nyũmba ya Saũlũ agĩũka oimĩte kuo. Nake eetagwo Shimei mũrũ wa Gera; agĩũka akĩrumanaga.
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 and on his left.
Agĩikĩria Daudi na anene othe a mũthamaki mahiga, o na gũtuĩka mbũtũ ciothe cia ita na arangĩri maarĩ mwena wa Daudi wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
7 And thus said Shim'i as he cursed, Away, away, thou man of blood, and thou worthless man!
Shimei akĩrumana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na kũu, thiĩ na kũu, wee mũiti wa thakame, wee kĩmaramari gĩkĩ!
8 The Lord hath brought back upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou didst reign; and the Lord hath placed the kingdom into the hand of Abshalom thy son; and, behold, thou art now in thy misfortune, because a man of blood art thou.
Jehova nĩakũrĩhĩtie, thakame yothe ĩrĩa wanaita ya nyũmba ya Saũlũ, ũrĩa wathanaga ithenya rĩake. Jehova nĩaneanĩte ũthamaki kũrĩ mũrũguo Abisalomu. Wee nĩũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ mwanangĩko tondũ ũrĩ mũiti wa thakame!”
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruyah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and remove his head.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akĩũria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ngui ĩno nguũ ĩrume mũthamaki mwathi wakwa? Reke ninge mũrĩmo ndĩmũtinie mũtwe.”
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah? so let him curse; because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
No mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũnyiitanĩire ũndũ ũrĩkũ niĩ na inyuĩ, inyuĩ ariũ a Zeruia? Angĩkorwo ararumana tondũ Jehova nĩamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ruma Daudi,’ nũũ ũngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ?’”
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who hath come forth out of my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now this Benjamite? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath said it to him.
Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra Abishai na anene ake othe atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa uumĩte mũthiimo-inĩ wakwa, nĩwe ũraageria kũnduta muoyo. Githĩ Mũbenjamini ũyũ ndangĩgĩĩka makĩria ma ũguo! Tiganai nake; rekei arumane, tondũ Jehova nĩwe ũmwĩrĩte eke ũguo.
12 Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good instead of his cursing this day.
Hihi no gũkorwo Jehova nĩekuona thĩĩna wakwa, na nĩakandĩha na wega nĩ ũndũ wa irumi ici ndĩrarumwo ũmũthĩ.”
13 And David and his men went [thus] on the way. And Shim'i went on the side of the mount opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones toward him, and cast dust.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake magĩthiĩ na mbere magereire njĩra nake Shimei akagera mwena-inĩ wa kĩrĩma angʼethanĩire nao, agĩthiĩ akĩrumanaga, na akĩmũikagĩria mahiga, na akamũminjagĩria tĩĩri.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, arrived weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Nake mũthamaki na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩkinya kũrĩa maathiiaga manogeete. Na kũu nĩkuo Daudi aahurũkĩire, akĩnogoka.
15 And Abshalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Achithophel [also] with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abisalomu na andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka Jerusalemu, na Ahithofeli agĩkorwo hamwe nao.
16 And it came to pass, when Chushai the Arkite, David's friend, was come unto Abshalom, that Chushai said unto Abshalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hushai ũrĩa Mũariki, mũrata wa Daudi, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Abisalomu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene! Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene!”
17 And Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
Abisalomu akĩũria Hushai atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩguo wendo ũrĩa wonetie mũrata waku? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiririe ũthiĩ na mũrata waku?”
18 And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
Nake Hushai akĩĩra Abisalomu atĩrĩ, “Aca, ũrĩa ũthuurĩtwo nĩ Jehova, na agathuurwo nĩ andũ aya, na agathuurwo nĩ andũ othe a Isiraeli, niĩ ndĩ wake, na njikare nake.
19 And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
Ningĩ-rĩ, njagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtungatĩra ũũ? Githĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtungatĩra mũriũ? O ta ũrĩa ndaatungatĩire thoguo, noguo ngũgũtuungatĩra.”
20 Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall do.
Abisalomu akĩĩra Ahithofeli atĩrĩ, “Tũhe ũtaaro waku. Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
21 And Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
Ahithofeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Koma na thuriya cia thoguo iria aatigire nĩgeetha irorage gĩikaro kĩa mũthamaki. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmakaigua atĩ wee wĩmũthũũre biũ nĩ thoguo, namo moko ma andũ arĩa othe ũrĩ nao nĩmekũgĩa hinya.”
22 So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambĩra Abisalomu hema nyũmba igũrũ, nake agĩkoma na thuriya cia ithe mbere ya andũ othe a Isiraeli.
23 And the counsel of Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
No rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio mataaro marĩa Ahithofeli aaheanaga maahaanaga ta ma mũndũ ũhooete kĩrĩra kũrĩ Ngai. Ũguo nĩguo Daudi na Abisalomu mooyaga mataaro mothe ma Ahithofeli.
