2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David tonight,
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 come on him, and he [will be] weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people who [are] with him have fled, and I have struck the king by himself,
mi amonje kapod ool kendo onyosore. Anami kihondko malich make mi ji duto man kode ring weye. Daneg mana ruoth kende
3 and I bring back all the people to you—as the turning back of the whole [except] the man whom you are seeking—[then] all the people are [at] peace.”
eka aduog ji duto iri. Ka ngʼat midwaro ngimaneni otho; to ji duto noduog maonge ngʼama nohinyre.”
4 And the word is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all [the] elderly of Israel.
Wachni ne nenore ni ber ne Abisalom gi jodong Israel duto.
5 And Absalom says, “Now call for Hushai the Archite also, and we hear what [is] in his mouth—even he.”
To Abisalom nowacho niya, “Luonguru Hushai ja-Arki, mondo en bende wawinj gima owacho.”
6 And Hushai comes to Absalom, and Absalom speaks to him, saying, “According to this word Ahithophel has spoken; do we do his word? If not, you—speak.”
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 says to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has counseled [is] not good at this time.”
Hushai nodwoko Abisalom niya, “Rieko ma Ahithofel ongʼado kawuononi ok ber.
8 And Hushai says, “You have known your father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and your father [is] a man of war, and does 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, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it has been at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer has heard and said, There has been a slaughter among the people who [are] after 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 and he also, the son of valor, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, utterly melts, for all Israel knows that your father is a hero, and those with him [are] sons of valor.
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 So that I have counseled: let all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and you yourself are going in the midst;
“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 and we have come to him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there has not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Eka wanamonje kamoro amora minyalo yude kendo wanapodh kuome mana ka thoo momoko e lum maonge ngʼato kuomgi kata achiel manowe kangima.
13 And if he is gathered to a city, then they have caused all Israel to carry ropes to that city, and we have drawn it to the brook until there has not even been found a stone 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 says—and all the men of Israel, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and YHWH willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of YHWH’s bringing the calamity to 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 And Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel has counseled Absalom and the elderly of Israel, and thus and thus I have counseled;
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 and now, send quickly, and declare [it] to David, saying, Do not lodge in the plains of the wilderness tonight, and also, certainly pass over, lest there is a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who 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 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maidservant has gone and declared [it] to them—and they go and have declared [it] to King David—for they are not able to be seen to go 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 And a youth sees them, and declares [it] to Absalom; and both of them go on quickly, and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, and he has a well in his court, and they go down there,
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 takes and spreads the covering over the face of the well, and spreads the ground grain on it, and the thing has not been known.
Chi ngʼatno nokawo gimoro ma oumogo soko bangʼe ne omoyo cham e wiye. To onge ngʼama nofwenyo sokono.
20 And the servants of Absalom come to the woman at the house, and say, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman says to them, “They passed over the brook of water”; and they seek, and have not found, and return 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 comes to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare [it] to King David, and say to David, “Rise, and pass over the waters quickly, for thus has Ahithophel counseled 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 And David rises, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, until the morning light, until not one has been lacking who has not passed 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 Ahithophel has seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddles the donkey, and rises and goes to his house, to his city, and gives charge to his household, and strangles himself, and dies, and he is buried in the burying-place 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 And David came to Mahanaim, and 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 has set Amasa over the host instead of Joab, and Amasa [is] a man’s son whose name is Ithra the Israeli who has gone in to Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
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 encamps with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Jo-Israel gi Abisalom nojot e piny Gilead.
27 And it comes to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Behold-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from 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 [have brought] bed, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [grain], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [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 butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows; they have brought [these] near for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, “Your people [are] hungry, and weary, 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.”
