2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
To koro ne nitie ja-Benjamin machach ma nyinge Sheba wuod Bikri. Nogoyo turumbete kokok kowacho niya, “Waonge wat moro gi joka Daudi, kata gima oriwowa gi wuod Jesse! Yaye, ja-Israel moro ka moro odog e hembe!”
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Omiyo jo-Israel duto noweyo Daudi mondo oluw Sheba wuod Bikri. To jo-Juda to nodongʼ gi ruodhgi ka gia Jordan nyaka gichopo Jerusalem.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
Kane Daudi odwogo dalane Jerusalem, nokawo monde apar mamoko mane oweyo mondo orit dalane, mine oketogi e ot moro miritogie. Nomiyogi gik ma gikonyorego, to ne ok oriwore kodgi. Nolornegi e ot nyaka ne githo, ka gidak ka mon ma chwogi otho.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Eka ruoth nowacho ni Amasa niya, “Luong jo-Juda mondo obi ira bangʼ ndalo adek, to in bende ibi ka.”
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Kane Amasa odhi luongo jo-Juda nokawo ndalo mangʼeny moloyo ndalo mane ruoth omiye.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Daudi nowachone Abishai niya, “Koro Sheba wuod Bikri biro hinyowa moloyo kaka Abisalom notimo. Kaw jolwenj ruodhi mondo ilawe, ka ok kamano to onyalo yudo mier madongo mochiel mi odonjie kendo olalnwa.”
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Omiyo jo-Joab gi jo-Kereth gi jo-Peleth kod jolweny mathuondi duto nowuok kotelnegi gi Abishai. Ne giwuok Jerusalem mondo gilaw Sheba wuod Bikri.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
Kane pod gin e lwanda maduongʼ man Gibeon, Amasa nobiro romo kodgi. Joab norwako lepe mag lweny kendo notweyo okanda e nungone mosoyoe ligangla man e olalo. Kane osudo nyime, ligangla nolwar koa e olalo.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab nowachone Amasa niya, “Idhi nade owadwa?” Eka Joab nomako Amasa gi yie tike gi lwete ma korachwich ka gima odwaro mose gi nyoth.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
To Amasa ne onge gi paro moro amora kuom ligangla mane ni e lwet Joab, kendo Joab nochwowo bund iye gi liganglano molal, mi nyimbiye noredhore piny. Amasa notho ma ok ochako ochwowe kendo. Eka Joab gi owadgi ma Abishai nolawo Sheba wuod Bikri.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Achiel kuom jo-Joab nochungʼ but Amasa mowacho niya, “Ngʼama jakor Joab; kendo moyie gi Daudi mondo oluw bangʼ Joab!”
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
Amasa noriere piny kochadhore gi rembe e dier yo, kendo ngʼatno noneno ka jolweny duto ne chungʼ kochopo kanyo. Bende ka noneno ka ji duto chungʼ kochopo kama Amasa nothoeno, noywaye oko mar yo motere e pap moume gi law.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Kane Amasa osegol e yo, ji duto nodhi gi Joab mondo gilaw Sheba wuod Bikri.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Sheba nokadho e dier dhout Israel duto mochopo nyaka Abel Beth Maaka, bende nokadho e gwenge jo-Beri duto, kendo jogo nochokore kaachiel mondo oluwe.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Migepe duto mag jolweny mane nigi Joab nobiro molworo Sheba ka en Abel Beth Maaka. Negigoyo agengʼa ne dala maduongʼno kendo ka gichungʼ e agengʼa molworo ohinga. To e kindeno mane gitwomo ohinganano mondo gimuke,
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
dhako moro mariek mane ni e dala maduongʼno nokok matek kowacho niya, “Winjuru! Nyisuru Joab obi ka mondo alos kode.”
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
Joab nodhi kama dhakono ne nitie, mi nopenjo niya, “In e Joab?” Nodwoke niya, “En an.” Nowachone niya, “Chik iti ni gima jatichni dwaro wachoni.” Joab nowacho niya, “Awinjo.”
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Nomedo wuoyo kowachone niya, “Chon gi lala ji ne jawacho ni, ‘Dhi Abel mondo ngʼadnie rieko,’ kendo wachno ne rumo kamano.
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"
Wan joma odak gi kwe kendo ma jo-adiera e piny Israel ka. In to itemo mondo iketh dala maduongʼ man Israel. Angʼo momiyo idwaro tieko oganda Jehova Nyasaye?”
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab nodwoke niya, “Ngangʼ, ok en kamano! Mano gima ok anyal timo kendo ok anyal kethe!
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
Ngangʼ, ok en kamano! To gima timore en ni ngʼat moro miluongo ni Sheba wuod Bikri, moa e piny gode mag Efraim, ema piem gi ruoth Daudi. Omiyo miya ngʼatno kende, to abiro weyo dala maduongʼni.” Dhakoni nowachone Joab niya, “Wiye ibiro dirni gi ewi ohinga.”
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Eka dhakono nodhi ir ji gi riekone mane ongʼadono, kendo negingʼado wi Sheba wuod Bikri mi gidiro ni Joab. Omiyo nogoyo turumbete, mi joge no-aa mi giweyo dala maduongʼno kendo moro ka moro nodok e dalane. Joab to nodok Jerusalem ir ruoth.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Joab ne jatend jolweny Israel duto; ka Benaya wuod Jehoyada to ne otelo ne jolwenj jo-Kereth kod jo-Peleth.
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adoniram to notelo ni joma tiyo tich achuna, Jehoshafat wuod Ahilud ne jandiko;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Sheva ne jagoro; to Zadok gi Abiathar ne jodolo.
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
To Ira ja-Jair ne jadolo mar Daudi.
