2 Samuel 16
1 And David he passed on a little from the top and there! Ziba [the] servant of Mephi-bosheth to meet him and a pair of donkeys [were] saddled and [were] on them two hundred bread[s] and one hundred bunches of raisins and one hundred summer fruit and a skin of wine.
Awo Dawudi bwe yali ng’atambuddeko ebbanga ttono n’okuva awaali olusiisira, Ziba omuddu wa Mefibosesi n’ajja okumusisinkana. Yalina endogoyi bbiri eziriko amatandiiko, nga zeetisse emigaati ebikumi bibiri, n’ebirimba eby’ezabbibu enkalu kikumi, n’ebirimba eby’ebibala eby’ekyeya kikumi, n’ekita kya wayini.
2 And he said the king to Ziba what? [are] these [things] to you and he said Ziba the donkeys [are] for [the] household of the king to ride (and the bread *Q(K)*) and the summer fruit [are] to eat the young men and the wine [is] to drink the weary [person] in the wilderness.
Kabaka n’abuuza Ziba nti, “Bino oleese bya ki?” Ziba n’addamu nti, “Endogoyi za ba mu nnyumba ya kabaka okwebagalanga, n’emigaati n’ebibala bya bavubuka okulya, ne wayini, w’abo abaliyongobera mu ddungu.”
3 And he said the king and where? [is] [the] son of master your and he said Ziba to the king there! [he is] dwelling in Jerusalem for he said this day they will restore to me [the] house of Israel [the] kingdom of father my.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ate muzzukulu wa mukama wo ali ludda wa?” Ziba n’amuddamu nti, “Yasigadde mu Yerusaalemi, kubanga yalowoozezza nti, ‘Leero ennyumba ya Isirayiri eneenziriza obwakabaka bwa jjajjange.’”
4 And he said the king to Ziba here! [belongs] to you all that [belonged] to Mephi-bosheth and he said Ziba I bow down may I find favor in view your O lord my the king.
Awo kabaka n’agamba Ziba nti, “Byonna ebibadde ebya Mefibosesi, kaakano bibyo.” Ziba n’ayogera nti, “Neeyanzizza, era ŋŋanje mu maaso go, mukama wange kabaka.”
5 And he came the king David to Bahurim and there! from there a man [was] coming out from [the] clan of [the] house of Saul and name his [was] Shimei [the] son of Gera [he was] coming out continuously and cursing.
Awo kabaka Dawudi bwe yali ng’anaatera okutuuka e Bakulimu ne wajja omusajja ow’omu kika ky’ennyumba ya Sawulo erinnya lye Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera; n’akolima nga bw’asembera okumpi ne we baali.
6 And he stoned with stones David and all [the] servants of the king David and all the people and all the warriors [were] from right his and from left his.
N’akasuukirira Dawudi n’abakungu ba kabaka amayinja, naye abaserikale bonna n’abakuumi ba Dawudi nga bamwetoolodde ku luuyi lwe olwa ddyo ne ku luuyi lwe olwa kkono.
7 And thus he said Shimei when cursed he get out get out O man of blood and O man of worthlessness.
Simeeyi n’akolima, nga bw’ayogera nti, “Fuluma, vva wano, ggwe omusajja eyasaaba omusaayi, era ataliiko bw’ali!
8 He has brought back on you Yahweh all - [the] blood of [the] house of Saul whom you have reigned (in place of him *Q(K)*) and he has given Yahweh the kingship in [the] hand of Absalom son your and here you [are] in calamity your for [are] a man of blood you.
Mukama akusasudde olw’omusaayi gwonna gwe wayiwa mu nnyumba ya Sawulo, gwe waddira mu bigere. Mukama obwakabaka abugabidde mutabani wo Abusaalomu. Laba ekikutuusizza kw’ekyo, kubanga engalo zo zijjudde omusaayi!”
9 And he said Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah to the king why? will he curse the dog dead this lord my the king let me pass over please and let me remove head his.
Awo Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’agamba kabaka nti, “Lwaki embwa eyo enfu ekolimira mukama wange kabaka? Leka ŋŋende mmutemeko omutwe.”
10 And he said the king what? [is] to me and to you O sons of Zeruiah (thus *Q(K)*) he is cursing (for *Q(K)*) Yahweh he has said to him curse David and who? will he say why? have you done thus.
Naye kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Luganda ki lwe nnina nammwe, mmwe batabani ba Zeruyiya? Bw’aba ng’ankolimira kubanga Mukama ye yamugambye nti, ‘Kolimira Dawudi,’ ani ayinza okubuuza nti, ‘Kiki ekikukoza bw’otyo?’”
11 And he said David to Abishai and to all servants his here! son my who he went out from inward parts my [is] seeking life my and indeed? for now [the] Ben-jaminite leave alone him so he may curse for he has spoken to him Yahweh.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Abisaayi n’abakungu be bonna nti, “Obanga mutabani wange, ow’omusaayi gwange agezaako okunzita, naye ate Omubenyamini oyo. Mumuleke, akolime, kubanga Mukama amulagidde.
12 Perhaps he will look Yahweh (on sin my *Q(K)*) and he will repay Yahweh to me good in place of curse his the day this.
Oboolyawo Mukama anaalaba okunakuwala kwange n’ansasula obulungi olw’okukolima okwo.”
13 And he went David and men his on the road. And Shimei [was] going on [the] side of the mountain parallel with him he went and he cursed and he stoned [them] with stones parallel with him and he dusted [them] with dust.
Awo Dawudi n’abasajja be ne bagenda ku lugendo lwabwe, naye Simeeyi n’ayitira ku lusozi okumwolekera nga bw’akolima, nga bw’amukasuukirira amayinja n’enfuufu.
14 And he came the king and all the people which [was] with him exhausted and he refreshed himself there.
Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaali naye ne batuuka gye baali bagenda nga bakooye. N’aweereraweerera eyo.
15 And Absalom and all the people [the] man of Israel they came Jerusalem and Ahithophel [was] with him.
Mu kiseera kye kimu, Abusaalomu n’abantu bonna aba Isirayiri ne bajja e Yerusaalemi, ne Akisoferi n’ajja naye.
16 And it was just when came Hushai the Arkite [the] friend of David to Absalom and he said Hushai to Absalom may he live the king may he live the king.
Awo Kusaayi Omwaluki, mukwano gwa Dawudi, n’ajja eri Abusaalomu n’ayogera nti, “Kabaka awangaale! Kabaka awangaale!”
17 And he said Absalom to Hushai [is] this loyalty your with friend your why? not did you go with friend your.
Abusaalomu n’abuuza Kusaayi nti, “Bw’otyo bw’olaga okwagala eri mukwano gwo Kabaka Dawudi? Kiki ekyakulobedde okugenda ne mukwano gwo?”
18 And he said Hushai to Absalom In-deed [the one] whom he has chosen Yahweh and the people this and every man of Israel (to him *Q(K)*) I will belong and with him I will remain.
Kusaayi n’addamu Abusaalomu nti, “Nedda. Oyo Mukama gw’anaalonda, n’abantu bano, n’abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri, n’abanga wuwe era n’abeeranga naye.
19 And the second [thing] whom? I will I serve ¿ not before son his just as I served before father your so I will be (before you. *LAB(h)*)
Era nate n’aweereza ani okuggyako mutabani we? Nga bwe naweerezanga kitaawo, bwe ntyo bwe nnaakuweerezanga.”
20 And he said Absalom to Ahithophel give for yourselves counsel what? will we do.
Abusaalomu n’agamba Akisoferi nti, “Tuwe ku magezi. Tunaakola tutya?”
21 And he said Ahithophel to Absalom go into [the] concubines of father your whom he left to keep the house and it will hear all Israel that you have made yourself odious with father your and they will be strong [the] hands of all who [are] with you.
Akisoferi n’addamu nti, “Weebake n’abakyala ba kitaawo be yalekawo okulabirira olubiri. Isirayiri yenna bwe banaawulira ng’ofuuse ekyenyinyalwa eri kitaawo, banaddamu amaanyi.”
22 And they pitched for Absalom the tent on the roof and he went Absalom into [the] concubines of father his to [the] eyes of all Israel.
Awo ne basimbira Abusaalomu eweema waggulu ku nnyumba ne yeebaka n’abakyala ba kitaawe, nga Isirayiri yenna balaba.
23 And [the] counsel of Ahithophel which he counseled in the days those [was] just as (he enquires anyone *Q(K)*) by [the] word of God [was] so all [the] counsel of Ahithophel both to David as well as to Absalom.
Mu biro ebyo okuteesa kwa Akisoferi, kwatwalibwanga okuba nga kuva eri Katonda, era Dawudi ne Abusaalomu bwe batyo bwe baatwalanga okuteesa kwe.
