< 2 Samuel 19 >

1 Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
Joabhu akaudzwa kuti, “Mambo anochema nokuungudza nokuda kwaAbhusaromu.”
2 The victory that day was turned into mourning amongst all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
Uye kuhondo yose, kukunda kwezuva iro kwakashandurwa kukava kuchema, nokuti pazuva iro, mauto akazvinzwa zvichinzi, “Mambo anochema nokuda kwomwanakomana wake.”
3 The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
Varume vakapinda muguta vachiverevedza savanhu vanoverevedza vachinyara nokuti vatiza kubva kuhondo.
4 The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
Mambo akafukidza chiso chake akachema zvikuru achiti, “Haiwa mwanakomana wangu Abhusaromu! Haiwa Abhusaromu, mwanakomana wangu, mwanakomana wangu!”
5 Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
Ipapo Joabhu akapinda mumba kuna mambo akati, “Nhasi manyadzisa vanhu vose, avo vachangoponesa upenyu hwenyu noupenyu hwavanakomana navanasikana venyu uye noupenyu hwavakadzi venyu navarongo venyu.
6 in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
Munoda avo vanokuvengai uye munovenga avo vanokudai. Mazviratidza pachena nhasi kuti vatungamiri vehondo navanhu vavo havarevi chinhu kwamuri. Ndinoona kuti maifarira kuti dai Abhusaromu ararama nhasi uye kuti dai tose zvedu tafa.
7 Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”
Zvino budai munokurudzira vanhu venyu. Ndinopika naJehovha kuti kana mukasabuda, hakuna munhu achasara nemi usiku huno. Zvichava zvakaipisisa kwamuri kupinda njodzi dzose dzakakuwirai kubva pauduku hwenyu kusvikira zvino.”
8 Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
Saka mambo akasimuka akandoisa chigaro chake pasuo. Vanhu vakati vaudzwa kuti, “Mambo agere pasuo,” vose vakauya pamberi pake. Zvichakadaro, vaIsraeri vakanga vatizira kumisha yavo.
9 All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
Mumarudzi ose avaIsraeri, vanhu vose vakanga vachikakavadzana vachiti, “Mambo akatisunungura kubva muruoko rwavaFiristia. Asi zvino atiza nyika nokuda kwaAbhusaromu;
10 Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
uye Abhusaromu, uyo watakazodza kuti atitonge, afa muhondo. Saka munoregereiko kutaura nezvokudzosa mambo?”
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 house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
Mambo Dhavhidhi akatuma shoko naZadhoki naAbhiatari, vaprista achiti, “Bvunzai vakuru veJudha kuti, ‘Seiko imi mava vokupedzisira kudzosa mambo kumuzinda wake, sezvo zvinotaurwa muIsraeri yose zvasvika pamba pake.
12 You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’
Imi muri hama dzangu, muri venyama yangu chaivo uye veropa rangu. Saka maitireiko vokupedzisira kudzosa mambo?’
13 Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’”
Uye muti kuna Amasa, ‘Ko, iwe hauzi wenyama yangu uye weropa rangu here? Mwari ngaandirove, ngaarambe achidaro kwazvo, kana kubva zvino zvichienda mberi, iwe ukarega kuva mukuru wehondo yangu panzvimbo yaJoabhu.’”
14 He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
Akabata mwoyo yavarume vose veJudha vakaita sokunge vaiva munhu mumwe. Vakatuma shoko kuna mambo vachiti, “Dzokai, imi navanhu venyu mose.”
15 So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
Ipapo mambo akadzoka akasvika paJorodhani. Zvino vanhu veJudha vakanga vasvika kuGirigari kuti vaende kundosangana namambo vagomuyambutsa Jorodhani.
16 Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
Shimei mwanakomana waGera, muBhenjamini aibva kuBhahurimi, akakurumidza kuburuka navanhu veJudha kuti vandosangana naMambo Dhavhidhi.
17 There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
Akanga ane vaBhenjamini vaisvika chiuru, pamwe chete naZibha, mutariri weimba yaSauro, uye navanakomana vake gumi navashanu navaranda vake makumi maviri. Vakamhanyira kuJorodhani uko kwakanga kwava namambo.
18 A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come over the Jordan.
Vakayambuka rukova kuti vandotora veimba yamambo uye kuti vaite zvose zvaaida. Shimei mwanakomana waGera akati ayambuka Jorodhani, akawira pasi nechiso chake pamberi pamambo
19 He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
akati kwaari, “Ishe wangu ngaarege kundipa mhaka. Regai henyu kurangarira kukanganisa kwakaitwa nomuranda wenyu pazuva rakabva ishe wangu mambo paJerusarema. Mambo ngaazvidzime mundangariro dzake.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”
Nokuti ini muranda wenyu ndinozviziva kuti ndakatadza, asi nhasi ndauya pano sewokutanga weimba yose yaJosefa kuti ndiburuke ndizosangana naishe wangu iye mambo.”
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
Ipapo Abhishai mwanakomana waZeruya akati, “Ko, Shimei haafaniri kuurayiwa nokuda kwaizvozvi here? Akatuka muzodziwa waJehovha.”
22 David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
Dhavhidhi akapindura akati, “Ndineiko nemi, imi vanakomana vaZeruya zvokuti nhasi mava vavengi vangu! Pane munhu angafanira kufa muIsraeri nhasi here? Ko, handizivi here kuti nhasi ndiri mambo weIsraeri?”
23 The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore to him.
Saka mambo akati kuna Shimei, “Haungafi.” Uye mambo akamuvimbisa nemhiko.
24 Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
Mefibhosheti muzukuru waSauro, akaburukawo kundosangana namambo. Haana kuva nehanya netsoka dzake kana kuguririra ndebvu dzake kana kusuka nguo dzake kubvira pazuva rakasimuka mambo kusvikira pazuva raakadzoka ari mupenyu.
25 When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
Paakasvika achibva kuJerusarema achindosangana namambo, mambo akamubvunza akati, “Wakaregereiko kuenda neni, Mefibhosheti?”
26 He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
Iye akati, “Ishe wangu mambo, sezvo ini muranda wenyu ndiri chirema, ndakati, ‘Ndichaita kuti mbongoro yangu igadzikwe chigaro uye ndigoitasva, kuti ndigoenda namambo.’ Asi Zibha muranda wangu akandipandukira.
27 He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
Uye akandorevera nhema muranda wenyu kuna ishe wangu mambo. Ishe wangu mambo akaita somutumwa waMwari; saka itai henyu zvinokufadzai.
28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant amongst those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
Zvizvarwa zvose zvasekuru vangu hazvifanirwi nechimwe chinhu asi rufu ruchibva kuna she wangu mambo, asi makapa muranda wenyu nzvimbo pakati paavo vanodya patafura yenyu. Saka ini ndine mvumo yeiko yokukumbirazve kuna mambo?”
29 The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
Mambo akati kwaari, “Uchataurireiko zvakawanda? Ndinokurayira iwe naZibha kuti mugovane minda.”
30 Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
Mefibhosheti akati kuna mambo, “Ngaatore hake zvinhu zvose, sezvo zvino ishe wangu mambo asvika kumusha ari mupenyu.”
31 Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan.
Bhazirai muGireadhi akasvikawo achibva kuRogerimi kuti ayambuke Jorodhani namambo uye kuti amuperekedze panzira yake ikoko.
32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
Zvino Bhazirai akanga akwegura kwazvo, ava namakore makumi masere. Akanga achiriritira mambo panguva yaakanga agere paMahanaimi, nokuti akanga ari munhu akapfuma kwazvo.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
Mambo akati kuna Bhazirai, “Yambuka pamwe chete neni ugogara neni muJerusarema, uye ini ndichakuriritira.”
34 Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Asi Bhazirai akapindura mambo akati, “Makore manganiko andichararama, zvokuti ndingafanira kukwidza kuJerusarema namambo?
35 I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
Ndava namakore makumi masere. Ndichagona kuziva mutsauko pakati pechakanaka nechisina kunaka here? Ko, muranda wenyu achagona kuravira chaanodya nechaanonwa here? Ko, ndichagona kunzwa manzwi avarume navakadzi vanoimba here? Muranda wenyu achaitireiko kuti ave mumwe mutoro kuna ishe wangu mambo?
36 Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
Muranda wenyu achayambuka Jorodhani namambo kwenhambwe pfupi, asi mambo anondipireiko mubayiro wakadai?
37 Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
Regai muranda wenyu adzokere hake, kuti ndinofira muguta rangu pedyo nehwiro hwababa vangu namai vangu. Asi hoyu muranda wangu Kimihami. Ngaayambuke hake naishe iye mambo. Mumuitire henyu zvose zvinokufadzai.”
38 The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
Mambo akati, “Kimihami achayambuka neni, uye ndichamuitira zvose zvinokufadza. Uye zvose zvaunoda kwandiri ndichakuitira.”
39 All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
Saka vanhu vose vakayambuka Jorodhani, uye ipapo mambo akazoyambukawo. Mambo akatsvoda Bhazirai akamuropafadza, uye Bhazirai akadzokera kumba kwake.
40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
Mambo akati ayambukira kuGirigari, Kimihami akayambuka naye. Mauto ose eJudha nehafu yavarwi veIsraeri vakanga vayambutsa mambo.
41 Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”
Uye varume vose veIsraeri vakauya kuna mambo vakati kwaari, “Hama dzedu, varume veJudha, vakabireiko mambo vakamuuyisa neimba yake mhiri kweJorodhani, pamwe chete navanhu vake vose?”
42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
Varume vose veJudha vakapindura varume veIsraeri vachiti, “Takaita izvi nokuti mambo ihama yedu yapedyo. Seiko imi matsamwiswa nazvo? Tambodya here zvinhu zvamambo? Tambozvitorera kana chinhu chimwe chete here?”
43 The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
Ipapo varume veIsraeri vakapindura varume veJudha vakati, “Tine migove gumi muna mambo; uye zvisiri izvozvo chete, Dhavhidhi ndowedu kukunda imi. Saka seiko imi muchitizvidza? Ko, hatizisu takatanga kutaura kuti mambo adzoke here?” Asi varume veJudha vakapindura nehasha kwazvo kupfuura varume veIsraeri.
