2 Samuel 19
1 Joab was told, “Look, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”
Nowach ne Joab niya, “Ruoth dengo malit kaywago Abisalom.”
2 So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the army, for the army heard it said that day, “The king is mourning for his son.”
Loch machiengʼno nolokore ywak ni jolweny, nikech migepe mag jolweny, nowinjo kiwacho niya, “Ruoth okuyo nikech tho wuode.”
3 The soldiers had to sneak quietly into the city that day, like people who are ashamed sneak away when they run from 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 cried in a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
To ruoth noumo wangʼe, koywak matek niya, “Yaye Abisalom wuoda! Yaye Abisalom wuoda, wuoda!”
5 Then Joab entered into the house to the king and said to him, “You have shamed the faces of all your soldiers today, who have saved your life today, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your slave 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 because you love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. For today you have shown that commanders and soldiers are nothing to you. Today I believe that if Absalom had lived, and we all had died, then that would have pleased you.
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 and go out and speak kindly to your soldiers, for I swear by Yahweh, if you do not go, not one man will remain with you tonight. That would be worse for you than all the disasters that have ever 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 in the city gate, and all the people were told, “Look, the king is sitting in the gate,” and all the people came before the king. So Israel fled, every man to his home.
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 arguing with each other throughout all the tribes of Israel saying, “The king rescued us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has run out of the land because of Absalom.
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 Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
kendo Abisalom mane wawiro mondo obed ruodhwa bende osetho e lweny. Mara angʼo ulingʼ alingʼa ma ok uwuo e wach mar duogo ruoth?”
11 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, since the talk of all Israel favors the king, to bring him 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, my flesh and bone. 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 Then say to Amasa, 'Are you not my flesh and my bone? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not captain of my army from now on in the 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 So he won the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man. They sent to the king saying, “Return, you and all your men.”
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. Now the men of Judah came to Gilgal to go to meet the king and then 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 Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried 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 There were one thousand men from Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants with him. They crossed through the Jordan in the presence 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 They crossed to bring over the king's family and to do whatever he thought good. Shimei son of Gera bowed down before the king just before he began to cross 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 Shimei said to the king, “Do not, my master, find me guilty or call to mind the wrong your servant did the day my master the king left Jerusalem. Please, may the king not take it to heart.
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. See, that is why I have come today as the first from all the family of Joseph to come down to meet my master 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 son of Zeruiah answered and said, “Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh's anointed?”
Eka Abishai wuod Zeruya nowacho niya, “Donge Shimei onego neg nikech ma? Nokwongʼo ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.”
22 Then David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should today be adversaries to me? Will any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king 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 So the king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” So the king promised him with an oath.
Omiyo nowacho ni Shimei niya, “Ok ibi tho.” Kendo ruoth nosingore kokwongʼore.
24 Then Mephibosheth son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had not dressed his feet, or trimmed his beard, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he came home in peace.
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 So when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
Kane obiro koa Jerusalem mondo orom ne ruoth, ruoth nopenjo Mefibosheth niya, “Angʼo mane omoni dhi koda?”
26 He answered, “My master the king, my servant deceived me, for I said, 'I will saddle a donkey so I may ride on it and go with the king, because 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 My servant Ziba has slandered me, your servant, to my master the king. But my master the king is like an angel of God. Therefore, do what is good in your eyes.
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 all my father's house were dead men before my master the king, but you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I that I should still cry any more 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 Then the king said to him, “Why explain anything further? I have decided that you and Ziba will divide the fields.”
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Angʼo ma dimi imed wuoyo? Asemiyou chik ni in kod Ziba upogru puothe.”
30 So Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Yes, let him take it all, since my master the king has come safely to his own home.”
Mefibosheth nowachone ruoth niya, “Makoro ruodha ma en ruoth osedwogo dala ma ok ohinyore, weye okaw gigo duto.”
31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim to cross over the Jordan with the king, and he accompanied the king over 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. He had furnished the king with provisions while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy 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 The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will provide for you to stay with me in Jerusalem.”
Ruoth nowacho ni Barzilai niya, “Ngʼad aora koda mondo ibi idag koda Jerusalem, kendo abiro miyi gik mikonyorigo duto.”
34 Barzillai replied to the king, “How many days are left in the years of my life, 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 eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a burden to my master 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 would like to just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
Jatichni biro ngʼado Jordan modhi gi ruoth mochwalore matin, to en angʼo momiyo ruoth dimiya chiwo machal kama?
37 Please let your servant return back home, so I may die in my own city by the grave of my father and my mother. But see, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my master 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 The king answered, “Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you, and whatever you desire from me, I do that 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 Then all the people crossed the Jordan, and the king crossed over, and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Then Barzillai returned to his own home.
Omiyo ji duto nongʼado Jordan, to bangʼe ruoth bende nongʼado loka. Ruoth nonyodho Barzilai kendo nogwedhe, eka Barzilai nodok dalane.
40 So the king crossed over to Gilgal, and Kimham crossed over with him. All the army of Judah brought the king over, and also half the army 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 Soon all the men of Israel began to come to the king and say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king and his family 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 So the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “It is because the king is more closely related to us. Why then are you angry about this? Have we eaten anything that the king had to pay for? Has he given us any gifts?”
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 The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten tribes related to the king, so we have even more right to David than you. Why then did you despise us? Was not our proposal to bring back our king the first to be heard?” But the words of the men of Judah were even more harsh than the words 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.
