2 Samuel 19
1 It was told Joab, "Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom."
Nowach ne Joab niya, “Ruoth dengo malit kaywago Abisalom.”
2 The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, "The king grieves for his son."
Loch machiengʼno nolokore ywak ni jolweny, nikech migepe mag jolweny, nowinjo kiwacho niya, “Ruoth okuyo nikech tho wuode.”
3 So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.
Ji nodonjo lingʼ-lingʼ e dala maduongʼ chiengʼno mana kaka joma oloo e lweny duogo alucha ka wigi okuot.
4 The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom, my son."
To ruoth noumo wangʼe, koywak matek niya, “Yaye Abisalom wuoda! Yaye Abisalom wuoda, wuoda!”
5 Then Joab went into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have humiliated the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and of your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your secondary wives;
Eka Joab nodhi ei ot ir ruoth mowacho niya, “Kawuononi isekuodo wi jogi duto, ma osereso ngimani, ngima yawuoti gi nyigi to gi ngima mondi to gi mondi mamoko.
6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you. For you know that if Absalom were alive today, and all of us had died, then you would be pleased.
Ihero joma ochayi to ichayo joma oheri. Kawuono inyiso ratiro ni jotend lweny gi jolwenygi ok gimoro e nyimi. Aneno ni dine imor ka Abisalom ngima kawuono to wan duto ne watho.
7 Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants. For I swear by Jehovah, if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you this night, and that will be worse for you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now."
Koro wuogi oko mondo iho jogi. An gadiera e nying Jehova Nyasaye ni ka ok iwuok oko, to otieno ma kawuono onge kata mana ngʼato achiel ma biro bedo kodi. Mano nobedni masira maduongʼ moloyo masiche duto miseneno nyaka ia e nyathi.”
8 So the king got up and sat at the gate. And all the people were informed, saying, "Look, the king is sitting at the gate." And all the people came before the king. Meanwhile, Israel had fled each man to his tent.
Omiyo ruoth nochungʼ modhi obet e kome e dhorangach. Eka nonyis jolweny ni, Ruoth obet e dhorangach, kendo giduto negibiro mi gichungʼ e nyime. Koro nonwangʼo ka jo-Israel noseringo odhi e miechgi.
9 All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land and from being over his kingdom.
Ji ne mino wach kendgi e dhout Israel duto kagiwacho niya, “Ruoth noresowa e lwet wasikwa; en ema noresowa e lwet jo-Filistia. To koro sani oseringo oa e pinywani nikech wach Abisalom;
10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?" And the talk of all Israel came to the king.
kendo Abisalom mane wawiro mondo obed ruodhwa bende osetho e lweny. Mara angʼo ulingʼ alingʼa ma ok uwuo e wach mar duogo ruoth?”
11 So king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace?
Ruoth Daudi nooro wachni ne Zadok gi Abiathar, ma jodolo kama: “Penjuru jodong Juda ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo dudongʼ chien kuom dwoko ruoth dalane, nimar weche mane iwacho e Israel duto osechopo ni ruoth e kar dakne?
12 You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'
Un e owetena kendo une remba. Marangʼo un ema dudongʼ chien kuom duogo ruoth?’
13 And say to Amasa, 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh? Now then, God do so to me, and more also, if you aren't commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab. '"
Kendo wachne Amasa ni, ‘Donge in wadwa ma remba? Mad Nyasaye kuma malit ahinya ka dipo ni ok aketi jatend jolweny sani kar Joab.’”
14 Thus the heart of all the men of Judah was inclined as one man, so that they sent a message to the king, "Return, you and all your servants."
Ne oloko pach jo-Juda duto mane gibedo gi paro achiel. Ne giorone ruoth wach niya, “Duogi gi jogi duto.”
15 So the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, having come down to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.
Eka ruoth nodok mochopo nyaka Jordan. Nonwangʼo ka jo-Juda osebiro Gilgal mondo gidhi giromne ruoth kendo gingʼad kode aora Jordan.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David,
Shimei wuod Gera, ja-Benjamin moa Bahurim, noreto kolor piny kaachiel gi jo-Juda mondo girom ni Ruoth Daudi.
17 and a thousand men from Benjamin with him. But Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, waded through the Jordan ahead of the king,
Jo-Benjamin alufu achiel ne ni kode, kaachiel Ziba, ma jatend jorit mwandu mar od Saulo, to gi yawuote apar gabich kod jotije piero ariyo. Negireto ka gidhi Jordan, kuma ruoth ne nitie.
18 and did the work of bringing the king across and to do whatever he wished. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he crossed the Jordan.
Negingʼado kar dho wath mondo gikaw ruoth gi joode mane ni loka kendo gitim gimoro amora modwaro. Kane Shimei wuod Gera nongʼado Jordan, nopodho auma e nyim ruoth
19 Then he said to the king, "May my lord not consider punishment. Do not remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king left Jerusalem, so that the king should call it to mind.
mowachone niya, “Mad ruodha kik kwana ka jaketho. Kik ipar kaka jatichni notimo marach chiengʼ ma ruodha ma en ruoth nowuok Jerusalem. Mad ruoth wiye wil.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, look, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."
Nimar an jatichni angʼeyo nine atimo richo, to koro asebiro kaka ngʼat mokwongo moa e dhood Josef mosebiro mwalo ka mondo aromni ruodha ma en ruoth?”
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah replied, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed?"
Eka Abishai wuod Zeruya nowacho niya, “Donge Shimei onego neg nikech ma? Nokwongʼo ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.”
22 But David replied, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should become my adversaries today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do you not know that today I begin to rule over Israel?"
Daudi nodwoko niya, “Angʼo machandou koda un yawuot Zeruya? Kawuono usedoko jowasika! Bende onego neg ngʼato e Israel kawuono? Donge angʼeyo ni an ruoth e Israel kawuono?”
23 Then the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." And the king gave him his oath.
Omiyo nowacho ni Shimei niya, “Ok ibi tho.” Kendo ruoth nosingore kokwongʼore.
24 Now Mippibaal son of Jonathan son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither cared for his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back safely.
Mefibosheth, nyakwar Saulo bende nodhi mondo orom ne ruoth. Ne pok olwoko tiende kata buso yie tike kendo luoko lepe chakre chiengʼ mane ruoth owuokie nyaka chiengʼ manoduogo ka ok ohinyore.
25 And it happened when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mippibaal?"
Kane obiro koa Jerusalem mondo orom ne ruoth, ruoth nopenjo Mefibosheth niya, “Angʼo mane omoni dhi koda?”
26 So he answered, "My lord king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said to him, 'Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,' for your servant is lame.
Nodwoke niya, “Ruodha ma en ruoth, nikech jatichni en rangʼol, ne awacho ni, ‘Abiro ikoni pundana mondo otingʼa adhi gi ruoth.’ To Ziba ma jatija nondhoga.
27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king did that which was good in my eyes, like an angel of God.
Kendo oseketho nying jatichni ni ruodha ma en ruoth. Ruodha ma en ruoth chal ka malaika mar Nyasaye; omiyo tim atima gima ineno ni berni.
28 For though all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, yet you placed your servant among those who eat at your table. From whom, then, could I have finer treatment?" But when he cried out to the king,
Anywolana duto ne ok onego gen gimoro moa kuom ruodha ma en ruoth makmana tho, to ne imiyo jatichni obet kod jogo machiemo e mesani. En ratiro mane ma an-go madimi amed keto kwayona ni ruoth?”
29 the king said, "Why do you multiply your words? I say: You and Ziba divide the property."
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Angʼo ma dimi imed wuoyo? Asemiyou chik ni in kod Ziba upogru puothe.”
30 And Mippibaal said to the king, "Yes, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."
Mefibosheth nowachone ruoth niya, “Makoro ruodha ma en ruoth osedwogo dala ma ok ohinyore, weye okaw gigo duto.”
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went with the king to conduct him from the Jordan.
Barzilai ja-Gilead bende nobiro koa Rogelim mondo ongʼad Jordan gi ruoth kendo okowe oweye kodhi.
32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.
Koro Barzilai ne en jaduongʼ moti ahinya, ma hike ne romo piero aboro. Ne okonyo ruoth gi chiemo e kinde mane en Mahanaim, nimar ne en ngʼat ma jamoko ahinya.
33 And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me."
Ruoth nowacho ni Barzilai niya, “Ngʼad aora koda mondo ibi idag koda Jerusalem, kendo abiro miyi gik mikonyorigo duto.”
34 But Barzillai said to the king, "How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
To Barzilai nodwoko ruoth niya, “Aseti, pod abiro dak higni adi, madimi adhi gi ruoth Jerusalem?
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king?
Koro an ja-higni piero aboro. Bende anyalo pogo gima ber kod gima rach? Bende jatichni diwinj ndhath gima ochamo kod momadho? Bende pod dawinj dwond chwo gi mon ma jower? Angʼo ma dimi jatichni dimed tingʼ matin ni ruodha ma en ruoth?
36 Your servant will cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance. Why should the king compensate me in this way?
Jatichni biro ngʼado Jordan modhi gi ruoth mochwalore matin, to en angʼo momiyo ruoth dimiya chiwo machal kama?
37 Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."
Weya adogi mondo adhi atho e dalawa but kama noyikie wuonwa gi minwa. To jatichni miluongo ni Kimham nika. Yiene mondo ongʼad odhi gi ruodha ma en ruoth loka. Timne gimoro amora mihero.”
38 And the king answered, "Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him whatever I consider appropriate, and whatever you require of me I will do for you."
Ruoth nowacho niya, “Kimham biro ngʼado koda nyaka loka. Kendo abiro timo ne gimoro amora mihero. Bende abiro timoni gima chunyi diher mondo atimni.”
39 All the people crossed over the Jordan, but the king remained. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
Omiyo ji duto nongʼado Jordan, to bangʼe ruoth bende nongʼado loka. Ruoth nonyodho Barzilai kendo nogwedhe, eka Barzilai nodok dalane.
40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
Kane ruoth ongʼado odhi loka Gilgal, Kimham nongʼado kode. Jolweny duto mag Juda gi nus mar jolweny mag Israel nokowo ruoth kuno.
41 Look, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?"
Piyo piyo nono jo-Israel nobiro ir ruoth mi giwachone niya, “Angʼo manomiyo owetewa ma jo-Juda, kelo ruoth lingʼ-lingʼ gi joode loka aora Jordan, kaachiel gi joge duto?”
42 The men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's cost? Has he given us a gift? Or has he brought us a portion?"
Jo-Juda duto nodwoko jo-Israel niya, “Ne watimo ma nikech ruoth en watwa machiegni. Angʼo momiyo iu owangʼ. Bende wasechamo gimoro moa ka ruoth? Bende wasekawoe gimoro ni wan wawegi?”
43 Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king, and we are the firstborn rather than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the comments of the men of Judah were more forceful than the comments of the men of Israel.
Eka jo-Israel nodwoko jo-Juda duto niya, “Wan dhoudi apar e loch Daudi, to ewi mano, wan gi ratiro maduongʼ kuom Daudi moloyou. Koro angʼo momiyo ujarowa kamano? Donge wan ema ne wakwongo paro wach mar duogo ruodhwa?” To kata kamano jo-Juda nobedo mager moloyo jo-Israel.
