2 Samuel 14
1 And he perceived Joab [the] son of Zeruiah that [the] heart of the king [was] towards Absalom.
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya akafahamu kuwa moyo wa mfalme ulikuwa na shauku ya kumwona Absalomu.
2 And he sent Joab Tekoa towards and he took from there a woman wise and he said to her play [the] mourner please and put on please garments of mourning and may not you anoint yourself oil and you will be like a woman this days many [who has been] mourning on a dead [person].
Kwa hiyo Yoabu akamtuma mtu fulani kwenda Tekoa na kumleta mwanamke mwenye hekima kutoka huko. Akamwambia huyo mwanamke, “Jifanye uko katika maombolezo. Vaa nguo za kuomboleza, nawe usitumie mafuta yoyote ya uzuri, jifanye kama mwanamke ambaye amekuwa na huzuni kwa siku nyingi kwa ajili ya kufiwa.
3 And you will go to the king and you will speak to him according to the word this and he put Joab the words in mouth her.
Kisha nenda kwa mfalme ukazungumze maneno haya.” Naye Yoabu akaweka maneno kinywani mwa yule mwanamke.
4 And she said the woman Tekoite to the king and she fell on face her [the] ground towards and she bowed down and she said save! O king.
Huyo huyo mwanamke kutoka Tekoa alipofika kwa mfalme, akaanguka kifudifudi kumpa mfalme heshima, akasema, “Ee mfalme, nisaidie!”
5 And he said to her the king what? [is] to you and she said indeed [am] a woman a widow I and he has died husband my.
Mfalme akamuuliza, “Una shida gani?” Akamwambia, “Mimi ni mjane hasa, mume wangu amekufa.
6 And [belonged] to maidservant your two sons and they struggled together [the] two of them in the field and there not [was] a deliverer between them and he struck him the one the one and he killed him.
Mimi mtumishi wako nilikuwa na wana wawili. Wakapigana wao kwa wao huko shambani wala huko hapakuwa na mtu hata mmoja wa kuwaamua. Mmoja akampiga mwenzake na kumuua.
7 And there! it has risen up all the clan on maidservant your and they have said deliver up - [the] [one who] struck down brother his so we may put to death him for [the] life of brother his whom he killed and let us destroy also the heir and they will extinguish coal my which it is left to not (to establish *Q(K)*) for husband my a name and a remnant on [the] surface of the ground.
Sasa ukoo wote umeinuka dhidi ya mtumishi wako, wakisema, ‘Utukabidhi huyo aliyemuua ndugu yake, ili tumuue kwa ajili ya uhai wa ndugu yake ambaye alimuua, nasi hapo tutakuwa tumekatilia mbali na mrithi pia.’ Wakifanya hivyo, watakuwa wamezima tumaini langu lililobaki, mume wangu hataachiwa jina wala mzao katika uso wa dunia.”
8 And he said the king to the woman go to house your and I I will command on you.
Mfalme akamwambia huyo mwanamke, “Nenda nyumbani, nami nitatoa agizo kwa ajili yako.”
9 And she said the woman Tekoite to the king [be] on me O lord my the king the iniquity and on [the] house of father my and the king and throne his [be] innocent.
Lakini huyo mwanamke kutoka Tekoa akamwambia, “Mfalme bwana wangu, lawama na iwe juu yangu na juu ya nyumba ya baba yangu, naye mfalme na kiti chake cha enzi na asiwe na hatia.”
10 And he said the king the [one who] speaks to you and you will bring him to me and not he will repeat again to touch you.
Mfalme akajibu, “Ikiwa mtu yeyote atakusemesha lolote, mlete kwangu, naye hatakusumbua tena.”
11 And she said let him remember please the king Yahweh God your (from increasing *Q(k)*) [the] avenger of blood to destroy and not they will destroy son my and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh if it will fall one of [the] hair[s] of son your [the] ground towards.
Huyo mwanamke akasema, “Basi mfalme na amwombe Bwana Mungu wake ili kuzuia mlipiza kisasi cha damu kuongeza juu ya uharibifu, ili kwamba mwanangu asije akaangamizwa.” Mfalme akasema, “Hakika kama aishivyo Bwana, hakuna unywele mmoja wa kichwa cha mwanao utakaoanguka chini.”
12 And she said the woman let her speak please maidservant your to lord my the king a word and he said speak.
Ndipo huyo mwanamke akasema, “Mruhusu mtumishi wako aseme neno kwa mfalme bwana wangu.” Mfalme akajibu, “Sema.”
13 And she said the woman and why? have you planned like this on [the] people of God and because has spoken the king the word this like a guilty [person] to not to bring back the king banished [son] his.
Huyo mwanamke akasema, “Mbona basi wewe umewaza jambo kama hili dhidi ya watu wa Mungu? Je, mfalme asemapo hili, hajitii hatiani mwenyewe, kwa maana mfalme hajamrudisha mwanawe aliyefukuziwa mbali?
14 For certainly we will die and [we are] like waters which are spilled [the] ground towards which not they will be gathered and not he takes away God life and he plans plans to not he will be cast out from him a banished [one].
Kama vile maji yaliyomwagika ardhini, yasivyoweza kuzoleka tena, hivyo sisi kufa ni lazima. Lakini Mungu haondoi uhai, badala yake, yeye hufanya njia ili kwamba aliyefukuzwa asibaki akiwa amefarikishwa naye.
15 And now when I have come to speak to the king lord my the word this that they have made afraid me the people and she said maidservant your let me speak please to the king perhaps he will do the king [the] word of maidservant his.
“Nami sasa nimekuja kusema hili kwa bwana wangu mfalme kwa sababu watu wameniogopesha. Mtumishi wako alifikiri, ‘Nitanena na mfalme, labda mfalme atamfanyia mtumishi wake kile anachoomba.
16 For he will hear the king to deliver maidservant his from [the] hand of the man to destroy me and son my together from [the] inheritance of God.
Labda mfalme atakubali kumwokoa mtumishi wake kutoka mkononi mwa mtu anayejaribu kunikatilia mbali, mimi na mwanangu, kutoka kwenye urithi Mungu aliotupatia.’
17 And she said maidservant your may it become please [the] word of lord my the king rest for - like [the] angel of God [is] so lord my the king to hear good and bad and Yahweh God your may he be with you.
“Basi sasa mtumishi wako anasema, ‘Neno la bwana wangu mfalme na linipatie pumziko, kwa maana bwana wangu mfalme ni kama malaika wa Mungu katika kutambua jema na baya. Bwana Mungu wako na awe pamoja nawe.’”
18 And he answered the king and he said to the woman may not please you hide from me anything which I [am] asking you and she said the woman let him speak please lord my the king.
Basi mfalme akamwambia huyo mwanamke, “Usinifiche jibu kuhusu hilo nitakalokuuliza.” Huyo mwanamke akasema, “Mfalme bwana wangu na aseme.”
19 And he said the king ¿ [is] [the] hand of Joab with you in all this and she answered the woman and she said [by] [the] life of self your O lord my the king if there is - to go to [the] right and to go to [the] left from all that he has spoken lord my the king for servant your Joab he he commanded me and he he put in [the] mouth of maidservant your all the words these.
Mfalme akauliza, “Je, mkono wa Yoabu haupo pamoja nawe katika jambo hilo lote?” Huyo mwanamke akajibu, “Hakika kama uishivyo, bwana wangu mfalme, hakuna yeyote anayeweza kugeuka kulia wala kushoto kutokana na chochote anachosema bwana wangu mfalme. Naam, ni mtumishi wako Yoabu ndiye alinifundisha kufanya hivi, naye ndiye aliweka maneno haya yote kinywani mwa mtumishi wako.
20 In order to change [the] face of the matter he did servant your Joab the thing this and lord my [is] wise like [the] wisdom of [the] angel of God to know all that [is] in the land.
Mtumishi wako Yoabu amefanya hivi ili kubadili hali iliyopo. Bwana wangu ana hekima kama ile ya malaika wa Mungu, hufahamu kila kitu kinachotokea katika nchi.”
21 And he said the king to Joab here! please I do the thing this and go bring back the young man Absalom.
Mfalme akamwambia Yoabu, “Vyema sana, nitalifanya jambo hili. Nenda, ukamlete kijana Absalomu.”
22 And he fell Joab to face his [the] ground towards and he bowed down and he blessed the king and he said Joab this day he knows servant your that I have found favor in view your O lord my the king that he has done the king [the] word of (servant your. *Q(K)*)
Yoabu akaanguka kifudifudi mpaka ardhini kumpa mfalme heshima, naye akambariki mfalme. Yoabu akasema, “Leo mtumishi wako anajua kuwa amepata kibali machoni pako, bwana wangu mfalme, kwa sababu mfalme amemjalia mtumishi wake ombi lake.”
23 And he arose Joab and he went Geshur towards and he brought Absalom Jerusalem.
Ndipo Yoabu akaenda hadi Geshuri akamrudisha Absalomu Yerusalemu.
24 And he said the king he will turn to house his and face my not he will see and he turned Absalom to house his and [the] face of the king not he saw.
Lakini mfalme akasema, “Lazima Absalomu aende kwenye nyumba yake mwenyewe; kamwe asiuone uso wangu.” Kwa hiyo Absalomu akaenda kwenye nyumba yake na hakuuona uso wa mfalme.
25 And like Absalom not he was a man handsome in all Israel to praise exceedingly from [the] sole of foot his and to scalp his not it was in him a blemish.
Katika Israeli yote hakuna mtu yeyote aliyesifiwa kwa uzuri wa sura kama Absalomu. Kuanzia utosi wa kichwa chake hadi wayo wa mguu wake hapakuwa na kasoro.
26 And when shaved he head his and it was from [the] end of days - to the days when he shaved for [it was] heavy on him and he shaved it and he weighed [the] hair of head his two hundred shekels by [the] weight of the king.
Kila mara aliponyoa nywele za kichwa chake, kwa kuwa alikuwa akinyoa mara kwa mara zilipokuwa zinamwia nzito, alizipima uzito wake ulikuwa shekeli mia mbili kwa kipimo cha kifalme.
27 And they were born to Absalom three sons and a daughter one and name her [was] Tamar she she was a woman beautiful of appearance.
Walizaliwa wana watatu na binti mmoja kwa Absalomu. Jina la binti yake aliitwa Tamari, naye akawa mwanamke mzuri wa sura.
28 And he dwelt Absalom in Jerusalem two years days and [the] face of the king not he saw.
Absalomu akaishi miaka miwili huko Yerusalemu pasipo kuuona uso wa mfalme.
29 And he sent Absalom to Joab to send him to the king and not he was willing to come to him and he sent again a second [time] and not he was willing to come.
Basi Absalomu akamwita Yoabu kwa kusudi la kumtuma kwa mfalme, lakini Yoabu akakataa kuja kwa Absalomu. Ndipo akamwita tena mara ya pili, lakini pia akakataa kuja.
30 And he said to servants his see [the] portion of land of Joab [is] to hand my and [belongs] to him there barley go (and set on fire it *Q(K)*) with fire and they set on fire [the] servants of Absalom the portion of land with fire.
Ndipo akawaambia watumishi wake, “Tazama, shamba la Yoabu liko jirani na langu, naye ana shayiri humo. Nendeni mkalitie moto.” Kisha watumishi wa Absalomu wakalitia moto shamba hilo.
31 And he arose Joab and he went to Absalom the house towards and he said to him why? have they set on fire servants your the portion of land which [belongs] to me with fire.
Basi Yoabu akaenda nyumbani kwa Absalomu, akamwambia, “Kwa nini watumishi wako wametia moto shamba langu?”
32 And he said Absalom to Joab here! I sent to you - saying come here so let me send you to the king saying why? have I come from Geshur [was] good for me still I [was] there and therefore let me see [the] face of the king and if there in me [is] iniquity and he will kill me.
Absalomu akamwambia Yoabu, “Tazama, nilikutumia ujumbe na kusema, ‘Njoo ili niweze kukutuma kwa mfalme kuuliza, “Kwa nini nimekuja kutoka Geshuri? Ingekuwa bora zaidi kwangu kama ningebaki huko!”’ Sasa basi, nataka kuuona uso wa mfalme, na ikiwa nina hatia ya jambo lolote, basi na aniue.”
33 And he went Joab to the king and he told to him and he summoned Absalom and he came to the king and he bowed down to him on face his [the] ground towards before the king and he kissed the king Absalom.
Basi Yoabu akaenda kwa mfalme na kumwambia jambo hili. Kisha mfalme akamwita Absalomu, naye akaingia ndani akasujudu uso wake mpaka ardhini mbele ya mfalme. Naye mfalme akambusu Absalomu.
