2 Samuel 14
1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart [was] towards Absalom.
Zvino Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya akaziva kuti mwoyo wamambo wakanga woshuva Abhusaromu.
2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
Saka Joabhu akatuma munhu kuTekoa kuti andouya nomukadzi akanga akachenjera kubva ikoko. Akati kwaari, “Ita somunhu ari pakuchema. Upfeke nguo dzokuchema uye usazvizora mafuta. Uite somukadzi ava namazuva akawanda ari pakuchema vakafa.
3 And come to the king, and speak in this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
Ipapo ugoenda kuna mambo undotaura mashoko aya kwaari.” Uye Joabhu akaisa mashoko mumuromo make.
4 And when the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
Mukadzi akabva kuTekoa akati asvika kuna mambo, akawira pasi nechiso chake, kuri kupa rukudzo, akati, “Ndibatsireiwo, nhai mambo!”
5 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
Mambo akamubvunza akati, “Watambudzwa neiko?” Iye akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndiri chirikadzi; murume wangu akafa.
6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and [there was] none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.
Zvino ini muranda wenyu ndakanga ndina vanakomana vaviri. Vakarwa vari vaviri musango, uye hapana aivapo kuti avarandutsire. Mumwe akarova mumwe uye akamuuraya.
7 And behold, the whole family hath risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband [neither] name nor remainder upon the earth.
Zvino mhuri yose yamukira murandakadzi wenyu. Vari kuti, ‘Tipei uyo akauraya mununʼuna wake, kuti timuuraye nokuda kwoupenyu hwomununʼuna wake waakauraya; kunyange tichizobvisa mudyi wenhaka zvakare.’ Saka vachadzima zimbe rangu rimwe ranga rasara, vakasasiyira murume wangu zita kana rudzi panyika.”
8 And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
Mambo akati kumukadzi, “Enda hako kumba kwako, ini ndicharayira shoko pamusoro pako.”
9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity [be] on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
Asi mukadzi weTekoa akati kwaari, “Ishe wangu mambo, mhosva ngaive kwandiri nokuimba yababa vangu, uye mambo nechigaro chake choushe ngazvirege kuva nemhosva.”
10 And the king said, Whoever saith [aught] to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
Mambo akapindura akati, “Kana munhu akataura chinhu kwauri, uya naye kwandiri, haangozokunetsizve.”
11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
Iye akati, “Naizvozvo mambo ngaataure naIshe Mwari wake kuti mutsivi weropa arege kuramba achiparadza, kuti mwanakomana wangu arege kuparadzwa.” Mambo akati, “NaJehovha mupenyu, hapana ruvhudzi rumwe rwomwanakomana wako ruchawira pasi.”
12 Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak [one] word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Ipapo mukadzi uya akati, “Tenderai muranda wenyu kuti ataure shoko kuna ishe mambo wangu.” Iye akati, “Taura hako.”
13 And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king doth not bring home again his banished.
Mukadzi uya ndokuti, “Zvino seiko makarongera vanhu vaMwari zvakadai? Kana mambo vachitaura zvakadai, havasi kuzvipa mhosva here, nokuti mambo havana kudzosa mwanakomana uya akambenge adzingwa.
14 For we must needs die, and [are] as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect [any] person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
Semvura yadeukira pasi, isingazogoni kudyorerwa, saizvozvo tinofanira kufa. Asi Mwari haaurayi munhu; pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo anotoronga zano rokuti akadzingwa arege kuraswa zvachose naye.
15 Now therefore that I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, [it is] because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
“Zvino ini ndauya kuzotaura izvi kuna ishe mambo wangu nokuti vanhu vandityisidzira. Murandakadzi wenyu akafunga akati, ‘Rega ndinotaura namambo zvimwe vangaitira muranda wavo zvaanokumbira.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man [that would] destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
Zvimwe mambo vangabvuma kurwira murandakadzi wavo kubva paruoko rwomunhu anotsvaka kuparadza zvose ini nomwanakomana wangu kuti tirege kugara nhaka yatakapiwa naMwari.’
17 Then thy handmaid said, The word of my lord the king, will now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
“Zvino murandakadzi wenyu anoti, ‘Ndinokumbira kuti shoko rashe mambo wangu rindinyaradze, nokuti ishe wangu mambo akafanana nomutumwa waMwari pakuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa. Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaave nemi.’”
18 Then the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
Ipapo mambo akati kumukadzi, “Usandivanzira hako shoko randichakubvunza.” Mukadzi akati, “Ishe mambo wangu ngavataure havo.”
19 And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid:
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Ko, ruoko rwaJoabhu harusi kubatsirana newe pazvinhu zvose izvi here?” Mukadzi akapindura akati, “Noupenyu hwenyu, ishe wangu mambo, hapana munhu angatendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe kubva pane zvinenge zvataurwa nashe mambo wangu. Ichokwadi, muranda wenyu Joabhu ndiye andirayira kuti ndiite izvi uye ndiye aisa mashoko ose aya mumuromo womurandakadzi wenyu.
20 To bring about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all [things] that [are] on the earth.
Muranda wenyu Joabhu akaita izvi kuti ashandure mamiriro ezvinhu. Ishe wangu ano uchenjeri sehwomutumwa waMwari, anoziva zvose zvinoitika panyika.”
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
Mambo akati kuna Joabhu, “Zvakanaka chose, ndichaita saizvozvo. Chienda, unouya nejaya Abhusaromu.”
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
Joabhu akawira pasi nechiso chake achipa rukudzo, uye akaropafadza mambo. Joabhu akati, “Nhasi muranda wenyu aziva kuti awana nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu mambo, nokuti mambo aita zvandakumbira ini muranda wake.”
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
Saka Joabhu akaenda kuGeshuri akandouya naAbhusaromu kuJerusarema.
24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
Asi mambo akati, “Anofanira kuenda kuimba yake; haafaniri kuona chiso changu.” Saka Abhusaromu akaenda kumba kwake akasaona chiso chamambo.
25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
MuIsraeri mose makanga musina murume airumbidzwa navanhu nokuda kworunako rwake saAbhusaromu. Kubva kumusoro wake kusvikira kutsoka dzake pakanga pasina panonzi apa pakaipa.
26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled [it]: because [the hair] was heavy on him, therefore he polled it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
Pose paaigurira bvudzi rake, aigurira bvudzi rake nguva nenguva parainge rava kumuremera, airiyera, uye uremu hwaro hwaisvika mashekeri mazana maviri kana zvichierwa nechiereso chamambo.
27 And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name [was] Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
Abhusaromu akaberekerwa vanakomana vatatu nomwanasikana mumwe chete. Zita romwanasikana rainzi Tamari, uye akanga ari mukadzi akanaka pachiso.
28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
Abhusaromu akagara kwamakore maviri muJerusarema asina kumboona chiso chamambo.
29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, that he might send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
Ipapo Abhusaromu akadana Joabhu kuti amutume kuna mambo, asi akaramba kuenda kwaari. Saka akatumazve shoko kechipiri, asi akaramba kuuya.
30 Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
Ipapo akati kumuranda wake, “Onaka, munda waJoabhu wakaganhurana nowangu, uye ane bhari imomo. Enda unoupisa.” Naizvozvo varanda vaAbhusaromu vakapisa munda.
31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom, to [his] house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire?
Ipapo Joabhu akaenda kumba kwaAbhusaromu akandoti kwaari, “Ko, varanda vako vapisirei munda wangu?”
32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it [had been] good for me [had I been] there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there is [any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.
Abhusaromu akati kuna Joabhu, “Tarira, ndakatuma shoko kwauri ndikati, ‘Uya kuno kuti ndikutume kuna mambo unobvunza kuti, “Ko, zvino ndakabvirei hangu kuGeshuri? Zvingadai zviri nani dai ndanga ndichiriko zvangu!”’ Naizvozvo, ndinoda kuona chiso chamambo, uye kana ndine mhosva yechimwe chinhu, ngavandiuraye havo.”
33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
Saka Joabhu akaenda kuna mambo akandotaura saizvozvo. Ipapo mambo akadana Abhusaromu, uye akauya akasvikokotamisa uso hwake pasi pamberi pamambo. Uye Mambo akatsvoda Abhusaromu.
