2 Samuel 17
1 And he said Ahithophel to Absalom let me choose please two [plus] ten thousand man and I will arise and I will pursue after David this night.
Ahitofele anati kwa Abisalomu, “Mundilole ndisankhe asilikali 12,000, ndinyamuke usiku womwe uno kuti ndithamangire Davide.
2 So I may come on him and he [will be] weary and slack of hands and I will terrify him and will flee all the people which [is] with him and I will strike down the king to only him.
Ndipo ndikamuthira nkhondo atatopa ndiponso atataya mtima. Ndikamuchititsa mantha ndipo anthu onse amene ali naye akathawa. Ine ndikakantha mfumu yokhayo,
3 And I will bring back all the people to you as returns everything the man whom you [are] seeking all the people it will be peace.
ndipo anthu onse ndidzabwera nawo kwa inu, ngati mkwati amene akubwerera kwa mwamuna wake. Imfa ya munthu mmodzi yekha idzakhalitsa anthu onse pa mtendere.”
4 And it was pleasing the word in [the] eyes of Absalom and in [the] eyes of all [the] elders of Israel.
Malangizo awa anaoneka abwino kwa Abisalomu ndi kwa akuluakulu onse a Israeli.
5 And he said Absalom summon please also Hushai the Arkite so let us hear what? [is] in mouth his also he.
Koma Abisalomu anati, “Muyitanenso Husai Mwariki kuti timve zimene iye adzanena.”
6 And he came Hushai to Absalom and he said Absalom to him saying according to the word this he has spoken Ahithophel ¿ will we do word his if not you speak.
Husai atabwera kwa iye, Abisalomu anati, “Ahitofele wapereka malangizo ake. Kodi tichite zimene wanena? Ngati sichoncho, tiwuze maganizo ako.”
7 And he said Hushai to Absalom not [is] good the counsel which he has counseled Ahithophel at the time this.
Husai anayankha Abisalomu kuti, “Malangizo amene Ahitofele wapereka si abwino pa nthawi ino.
8 And he said Hushai you you know father your and men his that [are] warriors they and [are] bitter of soul they like a bear robbed of cubs in the field and father your [is] a man of war and not he will pass [the] night with the people.
Inu mukudziwa bwino abambo anu ali ndi ankhondo awo. Iwo ndi anthu ankhondo komanso ndi woopsa ngati chimbalangondo chimene chalandidwa ana ake. Kuwonjezera apa abambo anu ndi katswiri wa nkhondo. Iwo sanagone pamodzi ndi asilikali awo.
9 There! now he [has] hidden himself in one of the ravines or in one of the places and it will be when falls among them at the first and he will hear the [one who] hears and he will say it has been a slaughter among the people which [is] after Absalom.
Onani, ngakhale tsopano lino abisala mʼphanga lina ku malo ena ake. Ngati iwo atayamba kuthira nkhondo asilikali anu, aliyense amene adzamve zimenezi adzati, ‘Gulu lalikulu lankhondo lotsatira Abisalomu laphedwa.’
10 And he also a son of strength whom heart his [is] like [the] heart of lion surely he will melt for [is] knowing all Israel that [is] a warrior father your and [are] sons of strength who [are] with him.
Tsono ngakhale msilikali wolimba mtima kwambiri, amene mtima wake uli ngati wa mkango, adzagwidwa ndi mantha aakulu pakuti Aisraeli akudziwa kuti abambo anu ndi ankhondo ndipo kuti iwo amene ali nawo ndi anthu olimba mtima.
11 For I counsel certainly let it be gathered to you all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba like the sand which [is] at the sea for multitude and face your [will be] going in the battle.
“Kotero ine ndikukulangizani kuti: Aisraeli onse, kuchokera ku Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba; ochuluka ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja, asonkhane kwa inu ndipo muwatsogolera kupita ku nkhondo.
12 And we will come against him (in one of *Q(k)*) the places where he is found there and we will set on him when it will fall the dew on the ground and not we will leave among him and among all the men who [are] with him also one.
Ndipo ife tidzapita kukamuthira nkhondo kulikonse kumene tikamupeze, ndipo ife tikamuthira nkhondo ngati mame pa nthaka. Palibe amene adzakhale wamoyo kaya iye kapena ankhondo ake.
13 And if into a city he will be gathered and they will cause to bring all Israel to the city that ropes and we will drag him to the wadi until that not it has been found there also a pebble.
Iye akakathawira mu mzinda, Aisraeli onse adzabweretsa zingwe ku mzindawo, ndipo ife tidzawugwetsera ku chigwa mpaka sipadzapezeka ngakhale kachidutswa.”
14 And he said Absalom and every man of Israel [is] good [the] counsel of Hushai the Arkite more than [the] counsel of Ahithophel and Yahweh he had commanded to frustrate [the] counsel of Ahithophel good in order to bring Yahweh to Absalom calamity.
Abisalomu ndi ankhondo ena onse a Israeli anati, “Malangizo a Husai Mwariki ndi abwino kuposa a Ahitofele.” Pakuti Yehova anatsimikiza kutsutsa malangizo onse abwino a Ahitofele ndi cholinga choti zimuvute Abisalomu.
15 And he said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests like this and like this he has counseled Ahithophel Absalom and [the] elders of Israel and like this and like this I have counseled I.
Husai anawuza ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara kuti, “Ahitofele analangiza Abisalomu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli zakuti, koma ine ndawalangiza kuchita zakutizakuti.
16 And therefore send quickly and tell to David saying may not you pass [the] night this night at [the] desert plains of the wilderness and also certainly you will pass over lest it should be swallowed up to the king and to all the people which [is] with him.
Tsopano tumizani wamthenga msangamsanga kuti akamuwuze Davide kuti, ‘Musakagone powolokera Yorodani ku chipululu koma mukawoloke. Mukapanda kutero, mfumu ndi anthu onse amene ali naye adzaphedwa.’”
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz [were] staying at En Rogel and she went the maidservant and she told to them and they they went and they told to the king David for not they were able to be seen to go the city towards.
Yonatani ndi Ahimaazi amakhala ku Eni Rogeli. Tsono wantchito wamkazi ndiye amapita kukawawuza ndipo iwo amayenera kupita kukamuwuza mfumu Davide, pakuti iwowo sankayenera kuonekera polowa mu mzinda.
18 And he saw them a young man and he told to Absalom and they went [the] two of them quickly and they came - to [the] house of a man in Bahurim and [belonged] to him a well in courtyard his and they went down there.
Koma mnyamata wina anawaona ndipo anakawuza Abisalomu. Kotero anthu awiriwo anachoka mofulumira ndipo anapita ku nyumba ya munthu wina ku Bahurimu. Iye anali ndi chitsime ku mpanda kwake ndipo iwo analowamo.
19 And she took the woman and she spread out the covering on [the] face of the well and she spread on it the grain[s] and not it was known anything.
Mkazi wake anatenga chophimba ndipo anachiyika pamwamba pa chitsimecho nawazapo tirigu. Palibe amene anadziwa chilichonse za izi.
20 And they came [the] servants of Absalom to the woman the house towards and they said where? [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan and she said to them the woman they have passed over [the] brook of water and they sought [them] and not they found [them] and they returned Jerusalem.
Anthu a Abisalomu atafika kwa mkaziyo pa nyumbapo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Ahimaazi ndi Yonatani ali kuti?” Mkaziyo anawayankha kuti, “Awoloka mtsinje.” Anthuwo anafunafuna koma sanapeze munthu, kotero anabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
21 And it was - after had gone they and they came up from the well and they went and they told to the king David and they said to David arise and pass over quickly the water for thus he has counseled on you Ahithophel.
Anthu aja atapita, awiriwo anatuluka mʼchitsimemo ndipo anapita kukawuza mfumu Davide nati kwa iye, “Nyamukani, muwoloke mtsinje msangamsanga. Ahitofele wapereka malangizo akutiakuti kutsutsana nanu.”
22 And he arose David and all the people which [was] with him and they passed over the Jordan until [the] light of the morning up to one [person] not [was] missing who not he had passed over the Jordan.
Kotero Davide ndi anthu onse amene anali nawo ananyamuka ndi kuwoloka Yorodani. Pofika mmamawa, panalibe munthu amene anatsala asanawoloke Yorodani!
23 And Ahithophel he saw that not it was done counsel his and he saddled the donkey and he arose and he went to house his to city his and he commanded concerning household his and he hanged himself and he died and he was buried in [the] tomb of father his.
Ahitofele ataona kuti malangizo ake sanatsatidwe, iye anakwera bulu wake napita ku mzinda wa kwawo ku nyumba yake. Iye anakonza mʼnyumba mwakemo ndi kudzimangirira. Kotero anafa nayikidwa mʼmanda a abambo ake.
24 And David he had gone Mahanaim towards and Absalom he had passed over the Jordan he and every man of Israel with him.
Davide anapita ku Mahanaimu, ndipo Abisalomu anawoloka Yorodani pamodzi ndi ankhondo ena onse a Israeli.
25 And Amasa he had appointed Absalom in place of Joab over the army and Amasa [was] a son of a man and name his [was] Jether the Israelite who he had gone into Abigail [the] daughter of Nahash [the] sister of Zeruiah [the] mother of Joab.
Abisalomu anasankha Amasa kukhala mkulu wa ankhondo mʼmalo mwa Yowabu. Amasa anali mwana wa munthu wotchedwa Itira Mwisraeli amene anakwatira Abigayeli mwana wa Nahasi mlongo wake wa Zeruya, amayi ake a Yowabu.
26 And it encamped Israel and Absalom [the] land of Gilead.
Aisraeli ndi Abisalomu anamanga zithando mʼdziko la Giliyadi.
27 And it was when came David Mahanaim towards and Shobi [the] son of Nahash from Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
Davide atafika ku Mahanaimu, Sobi mwana wa Nahasi wochokera ku Raba ku dziko la Amoni ndi Makiri mwana wa Amieli wochokera ku Lodebara, ndi Barizilai Mgiliyadi wochokera ku Rogelimu
28 Bed[s] and basins and a vessel of a potter and wheat and barley and flour and roasted grain and bean[s] and lentils and roasted grain.
anabweretsa zofunda, mabeseni ndi miphika. Iwo anabweretsanso kwa Davide ndi anthu ake zakudya izi: tirigu ndi barele, ufa ndi tirigu wokazinga, nyemba ndi mphodza,
29 And honey and curd and sheep and cheese of [the] herd they brought for David and for the people which [was] with him to eat for they said the people [is] hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.
uchi ndi chambiko, nkhosa ndi mafuta olimba a mkaka wangʼombe. Pakuti anati, “Anthuwa ali ndi njala ndipo atopa, alinso ndi ludzu muno mʼchipululu.”
