1 Kings 2
1 Forsothe the daies of Dauid neiyiden, that he schulde die; and he comaundide to Salomon, his sone, and seide, Lo!
Mgbe ụbọchị ọnwụ eze Devid na-abịaru nso, o nyere nwa ya Solomọn iwu sị ya,
2 Y entre in to the weie of al erthe; be thou coumfortid, and be thou a strong man.
“Oge ọnwụ m eruola,” ka ọ sịrị, “Ya mere, dị ike, meekwa dịka nwoke.
3 And kepe thou the kepyngis and heestis of thi Lord God, that thou go in hise weies, and kepe hise cerymonyes, and hise heestis, and hise domes, and witnessyngis, as it is writun in the lawe of Moises; that thou vndurstonde alle thingis whiche thou doist, and whidur euer thou schalt turne thee.
Debe iwu niile Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nyere, bie ndụ nʼụzọ ya niile. Debekwa ụkpụrụ na ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu, na ntụziaka ya niile dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis. Mee nke a ka ihe niile ị ga-eme gaara gị nke ọma, nʼihe niile ị na-eme, nʼebe ọbụla ị na-eche ihu gị.
4 That the Lord conferme hise wordis, whiche the Lord spak of me, and seide, If thi sones kepen my weies, and goen bifor me in treuthe, in al her herte, and in al her soule, a man schal not be takun awei of thee fro the trone of Israel.
Ka Onyenwe anyị mezuo nkwa o kwere banyere m, sị ‘Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ gị na ụmụ ụmụ ha elezie anya nʼotu ha si ebi ndụ, ọ bụrụ na ha ejegharịa nʼụzọ ikwesi ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m, jiri obi ha niile na mkpụrụobi ha mee nke a, ị gaghị achọ onye ga-anọkwasị nʼoche eze Izrel achọ.’
5 Also thou knowist what thingis Joab, the sone of Saruye, dide to me; what thingis he dide to twey princis of the oost of Israel, to Abner, sone of Ner, and to Amasa, sone of Jether, whiche he killide, and schedde the blood of batel in pees; and puttide the blood of batel in his girdil, that was aboute hise leendis, and in his scho, that was in hise feet.
“Ugbu a, gị onwe gị maara ihe Joab nwa Zeruaya mere m, ya bụ ihe o mere mmadụ abụọ bụ ndịisi agha Izrel, Abna nwa Nea, na Amasa nwa Jeta. O gburu ha, wufuo ọbara ha nʼoge udo, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ihe e mere nʼagha. O jikwa ọbara ahụ merụọ ihe okike o kere nʼukwu na akpụkpọụkwụ o yi nʼụkwụ.
6 Therfor thou schalt do by thi wisdom, and thou schalt not lede forth his hoornesse pesibli to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
Ị bụ nwoke maara ihe, ị makwaara ihe ị ga-eme. Ekwela ka Joab, nʼagbanyeghị isi awọ ya, nwụọ nʼudo. (Sheol h7585)
7 But also thou schalt yelde grace to the sones of Bersellai of Galaad, and thei schulen be eetynge in thi boord; for thei metten me, whanne Y fledde fro the face of Absolon, thi brother.
“Ma meere ụmụ Bazilai onye Gilead ebere. Meekwa ka ha bụrụ ndị na-eso gị rie ihe na tebul gị nʼihi na ha ji obi ha zute m mgbe m na-agba ọsọ ndụ nʼihi nwanne gị Absalọm.
8 Also thou hast anentis thee Semey, sone of Gera, sone of Gemyny, of Bahurym, which Semei curside me bi the worste cursyng, whanne Y yede to `the castels; but for he cam doun to me in to metyng, whanne Y passide Jordan, and Y swoor to him bi the Lord, and seide, Y schal not slee thee bi swerd,
“Cheta Shimei, nwa Gera, onye Benjamin ahụ bi nʼobodo Bahurim, onye kọchara m nkọcha jọgburu onwe ya nʼụbọchị ahụ m jere Mahanaim. Mgbe ọ bịara izute m na Jọdan, eji m aha Onyenwe anyị ṅụọrọ ya iyi sị ya, ‘Agaghị m eji mma agha gbuo gị.’
9 nyle thou suffre hym to be vnpunyschid; forsothe thou art a wise man, and thou schalt wite what thou schalt do to hym, and thou schalt lede forth hise hoor heeris with blood to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
Ma achọghị m ka ị hapụ ya dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị. Ị bụ nwoke maara ihe. Ị makwaara ihe ị ga-eme ya. Mee ka o jiri isi awọ ọbara juru baa nʼili.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Sotheli Dauid slepte with hise fadris, and was biriede in the citee of Dauid.
Emesịa, Devid sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. E liri ya na obodo Devid.
11 Forsothe the daies, in whiche Dauid regnede on Israel, ben fourti yeer; in Ebron he regned seuene yeer, in Jerusalem thre and thretti yeer.
Ma ọ chịrị Izrel iri afọ anọ; ọ chịrị afọ asaa na Hebrọn, chịakwa iri afọ atọ na atọ na Jerusalem.
12 Forsothe Salomon sat on the trone of Dauid, his fadir, and his rewme was maad stidfast greetli.
Solomọn nọdụrụ nʼocheeze nna ya Devid dịka eze. Alaeze ya guzosiri ike nke ukwuu. Ọchịchị ya gakwara nke ọma.
13 And Adonye, sone of Agith, entride to Bersabee, modir of Salomon; and sche seide to hym, Whether thin entryng is pesible? And he answeride, It is pesible.
Otu ụbọchị, Adonaịja nwa Hagit, bịakwutere Batsheba, nne Solomọn. Mgbe Batsheba hụrụ ya, ọ jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụkwa ọbịbịa udo ka ị bịara?” Adonaịja zara sị ya, “E, abịara m nʼudo.”
14 And he addide, A word of me is to thee. `To whom sche seide, Speke thou.
O kwuru sị, “O nwere ihe m nwere ịgwa gị.” Nne Solomọn zara sị ya, “Kwuo.”
15 And he seide, Thou knowist that the rewme was myn, and al Israel purposide to make me in to king to hem; but the rewme is translatid, and is maad my brotheris; for of the Lord it is ordeyned to hym.
Ọ zara sị, “Dịka ị maara, ọ bụ m nwe alaeze a. Ndị Izrel niile lekwara anya na m ga-abụ eze ha. Ma otu ọ dị, ihe niile adịghịkwa ka ọ dị na mbụ, alaeze a aghọọla nke nwanne m, nʼihi na o si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị rute ya aka.
16 Now therfor Y preye of the oon axyng; schende thou not my face. And sche seide to hym, Speke thou. And he seide, Y preie,
Ugbu a, enwere m otu ihe m na-arịọ nʼaka gị. Biko ajụkwala imere m ya.” Batsheba sịrị ya, “Gịnị bụ arịrịọ gị? Kwuo ihe ọ bụ.”
17 that thou seie to Salomon the king; for he may not denye ony thing to thee; that he yyue to me Abisag of Sunam wijf.
Ọ zaghachiri ya sị, “Biko rịọrọ m Solomọn eze, nʼihi na amaara m na ọ ga-eme ihe ọbụla ị rịọrọ ya, ka ọ kpọnye m Abishag, nwanyị Shunem ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”
18 And Bersabee seide, Wel, Y schal speke for thee to the kyng.
Batsheba zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m agwara gị eze okwu.”
19 Therfor Bersabee cam to kyng Salomon, to speke to hym for Adonye; and the kyng roos ayens the comyng of hir, and worschipide hir, and `sat on his trone; and a trone was set to the modir of the kyng, and sche sat at his riyt side.
Emesịa, Batsheba bịakwutere eze Solomọn ịgwa ya okwu banyere Adonaịja. Mgbe ọ na-abata, eze sitere nʼocheeze ya bilie gaa izute ya, kpọkwaa isiala nye ya nọdụ ala nʼocheeze ya. O mere ka e butere nne eze ocheeze, ọ nọdụkwara ala nʼaka nri ya.
20 And sche seide to hym, Y preie of thee o litil axyng; schende thou not my face. And the kyng seide to hir, My modir, axe thou; for it is not leueful that Y turne awei thi face.
Ọ sịrị, “Enwere m arịrịọ nta m chọrọ ịrịọ gị. Ajụkwala i mere m ya.” Eze zaghachiri, “Rịọọ ya nne m. Agaghị m ajụ i mere gị ya.”
21 And sche seide, Abisag of Sunam be youun wijf to Adonye, thi brother.
Ya mere ọ sịrị, “Biko, kwere ka enye nwanne gị nwoke Adonaịja Abishag nwanyị Shunem, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.”
22 And kyng Salomon answeride, and seide to his modir, Whi axist thou Abisag of Sunam to Adonye? Axe thou to hym also the rewme; for he is `my gretter brothir, and he hath Abiathar, preest, and Joab, sone of Saruye.
Eze Solomọn zara nne ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji rịọọ m ka m nye Adonaịja naanị Abishag nwanyị Shunem ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya? Ị gaara arịọkwa m sị m nye ya alaeze m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya tọrọ m” Ị gaara arịọkwa nʼihi Abịata onye nchụaja ma Joab nwa Zeruaya.
23 Therfor kyng Salomon swoor bi the Lord, and seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde these thinges, for Adonie spak this word ayens his lijf.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn ji Onyenwe anyị ṅụọ iyi sị, “Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na Adonaịja ejighị ndụ ya kwụọ ụgwọ nʼihi arịrịọ a.
24 And now the Lord lyueth, that confermede me, and hath set me on the trone of my fadir, and that hath maad to me an hows, as he spak, for Adonye schal be slayn to dai.
Ugbu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, bụ onye ahụ mere ka m nọgidesie ike nʼocheeze nna m Devid, onye mere ka ọchịchị eze m malite dịka o kwere na nkwa, a ga-eme ka Adonaịja nwụọ taa.”
25 And kyng Salomon sente bi the hond of Banaie, sone of Joiada; which Banaie killide Adonye, and he was deed.
Eze Solomọn zigara Benaya nwa Jehoiada ka ọ gaa gbuo Adonaịja. Benaya gakwara tigbuo Adonaịja.
26 Also the kyng seide to Abiathar, preest, Go thou in to Anatot, to thi feeld; and sotheli thou art a man of deeth, `that is, worthi the deeth, for conspiryng ayens me, and the ordynaunce of God, and of my fadir; but to dai Y schal not sle thee, for thou barist the arke of the Lord God bifor Dauid, my fadir, and thou suffridist trauele in alle thingis, in whiche my fadir trauelide.
Eze kpọkwara Abịata onye nchụaja sị ya, “Laghachi azụ nʼubi gị nʼAnatot. I kwesiri ịnwụ ọnwụ ma ọ bụghị ugbu a ka a ga-egbu gị nʼihi na i buru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼoge nna m Devid dị ndụ. I sokwa ya hụọ ahụhụ nʼoge ahụ niile o nwere nsogbu.”
27 Therfor Salomon puttide out Abiathar, that he schulde not be preest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord were fillid, which he spak on the hows of Heli, in Silo.
Ya mere, Solomọn chụpụrụ Abịata ka ọ ghara ịbụ onye nchụaja Onyenwe anyị ọzọ. Otu a ka o si mezuo bụ okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere ezinaụlọ Elayị na Shaịlo.
28 Forsothe a messager cam to Salomon, that Joab hadde bowid aftir Adonye, and that he hadde not bowid after Salomon. Therfor Joab fledde in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and took the horn of the auter.
Ma mgbe Joab nụrụ na Adonaịja anwụọla, ọ gbaara ọsọ gaa nʼụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị jigide mpi dị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja aka. Ọ bụ ezie na Joab so Adonaịja gbaa izu imegide Solomọn, ma o soghị Absalọm gbaa izu imegide Devid.
29 And it was teld to kyng Salomon, that Joab hadde fledde in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and was bisidis the auter; and Salomon sente Banaie, sone of Joiada, and seide, Go thou, and sle hym.
Mgbe a gwara eze Solomọn, na Joab a gbabala nʼụlọ ikwu Onyenwe anyị, nọdụ nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja. Solomọn nyere Benaya, nwa Jehoiada iwu sị, “Gaa, tituo ya nʼala.”
30 And Banaie cam to the tabernacle of the Lord, and seide to Joab, The kyng seith these thingis, Go thou out. And he seide, Y schal not go out, but Y schal die here. Banaie telde the word to the kyng, and seide, Joab spak thes thingis, and answeride these thingis to me.
Benaya banyere nʼime ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, sị Joab, “Eze sị gị, ‘pụta ezi!’” Ma ọ zara, “Mba, aga m anwụ nʼebe a.” Nʼihi nke a, Benaya jekwuru eze gwa ya ihe Joab kwuru.
31 And the kyng seide to Banaie, Do thou as he spak, and sle thou hym, and birie him; and thou schalt remoue the innocent blood, that was sched out of Joab, fro me, and fro the hows of my fadir.
Mgbe ahụ, eze nyere Benaya iwu sị ya, “Gaa mee dịka o kwuru. Gbuo ya, liekwa ya. Nke a ga-eme ka ikpe ọmụma ghara ịdịrị mụ na ezinaụlọ nna m Devid nʼihi ikpe ọmụma dịrị Joab maka ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha ọ wụsiri.
32 And the Lord yelde on his heed his blood, for he killide twei iust men, and betere than hym silf, and he killide hem bi swerd, while Dauid, my fadir, `wiste not, Abner, the sone of Ner, the prince of the chyualrie of Israel, and Amasa, sone of Jether, the prince of the oost of Juda.
Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ọbara ọ wụsiri laa ya nʼisi, nʼihi na o ji mma agha gbuo ndị ikom abụọ, ma nna m Devid amaghị maka ya. Ha abụọ, ya bụ Abna nwa Nea, ọchịagha ndị Izrel, na Amasa nwa Jeta, ọchịagha ndị Juda, ndị dị mma ma bụrụkwa ndị ezi omume karịa ya.
33 And the blood of hem schal turne ayen in to the heed of Joab, and in to the heed of his seed with outen ende; forsothe pees be of the Lord til in to with outen ende to Dauid, and to his seed, and to the hous and trone of hym.
Ka ikpe ọmụma dị nʼihi igbu ọchụ ndị a dịkwasị Joab na ụmụ ụmụ ya nʼisi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ma nʼebe Devid na ụmụ ụmụ ya, na ụlọ ya, na ocheeze ya dị, ka udo Onyenwe anyị dịkwasị ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
34 Therfor Banaie, sone of Joiada, stiede, and asailide, and killide Joab; and Joab was biried in his hows in deseert.
Benaya nwa Jehoiada gara gbuo Joab. E liri ya nʼala nke ya dị nʼọzara.
35 And the kyng ordeynede Banaie, sone of Joiada, on the oost for hym; and the kyng puttide Sadoch preest for Abiathar.
Mgbe ahụ, eze họpụtara Benaya, nwa Jehoiada ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi ndị agha ya niile, ma mee Zadọk onye nchụaja nʼọnọdụ Abịata.
36 Also the kyng sente, and clepide Semey, and seide to hym, Bilde to thee an hows in Jerusalem, and dwelle thou there, and thou schalt not go out fro thennus hidur and thidur;
Emesịa, eze ziri Shimei ozi sị ya, “wuoro onwe gị ụlọ na Jerusalem, biri nʼebe ahụ, esitekwala nʼebe ahụ pụọ jee ebe ọbụla.
37 sotheli in what euer dai thou goist out, and passist the stronde of Cedron, wite thou thee worthi to be slayn; thi blood schal be on thin heed.
Nʼihi na ụbọchị ị ga-apụ gafee iyi dị na Ndagwurugwu Kidrọn, mara nke ọma na ị ghaghị ịnwụ. Ọbara gị ga-adịkwa gị nʼisi.”
38 And Semei seide to the kyng, The word of the kyng is good; as my lord the kyng spak, so thi seruaunt schal do. Therfor Semey dwellide in Jerusalem in many daies.
Shimei zara eze, “Okwu gị dị mma. Ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe m bụ eze kwuru.” Shimei biiri nʼime Jerusalem, nọọkwa ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
39 Forsothe it was doon after thre yeer, that the seruauntis of Semei fledden to Achis, sone of Maacha, the kyng of Geth; and it was teld to Semey, that hise seruauntis hadden go in to Geth.
Ma nʼọgwụgwụ afọ atọ, ndị ohu abụọ Shimei nwere gbapụrụ ọsọ gbakwuru Akish, nwa Maaka, eze Gat. Ndị mmadụ bịara gwa Shimei sị ya, “Lee, ndị ohu gị nọ na Gat.”
40 And Semey roos, and sadlide his asse, and yede to Achis, in to Geth, to seke hise seruauntis; and brouyte hem ayen fro Geth.
Nke a mere ka o bilie, rịkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya, gaa Gat, jekwuru Akish nʼihi ịchọ ndị ohu ya. Shimei gara mee ka ndị ohu ya soro ya laghachite azụ.
41 Forsothe it was teld to kyng Salomon, that Semey hadde go to Geth fro Jerusalem, and hadde come ayen.
Mgbe a gwara Solomọn na Shimei hapụrụ Jerusalem gaa Gat ma lọghachikwa azụ,
42 And Salomon sente, and clepide hym, and seide to hym, Whether Y witnessede not to thee bi the Lord, and bifor seide to thee, In what euer dai thou schalt go out hidur and thidur, wite thou that thou schalt die; and thou answeridist to me, The word is good, which Y herde?
eze ziri ozi kpọọ Shimei sị ya, “Ọ bụ na m adọghị gị aka na ntị, jiri aha Onyenwe anyị ṅụọ iyi sị, ‘Mara nke ọma nʼụbọchị ọbụla ị ga-esi nʼebe a pụọ gaa nʼebe ọbụla ọzọ, na ị ga-anwụ?’ Nʼoge ahụ, ị zara m sị m, ‘Okwu gị dị mma. Aga m emekwa ya.’
43 Whi therfor keptist thou not the ooth of the Lord, and the comaundement which Y comaundide to thee?
Ọ bụ gịnị mere i ji mebie iyi ị ṅụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị, jụkwa idebe ihe m nyere gị nʼiwu?”
44 And the kyng seide to Semei, Thou knowist al the yuel, of which thin herte is gilti to thee, which yuel thou didist to my fadir; the Lord hath yolde thi malice in to thin heed.
Eze gwakwara Shimei okwu sị ya, “I maara ihe ọjọọ niile i mere megide nna m Devid. Ugbu a Onyenwe anyị ga-akwụghachi gị ụgwọ nʼihi omume ọjọọ gị.
45 And kyng Salomon schal be blessid; and the trone of Dauid schal be stable bifor the Lord til in to with outen ende.
Ma eze Solomọn ga-abụ onye a gọziri agọzi. Ocheeze Devid ga-eguzosikwa ike nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
46 Therfor the kyng comaundide to Banaie, sone of Joiada; and he assailide, and smoot Semey, and he was deed.
Mgbe ahụ, eze nyere Benaya, nwa Jehoiada iwu ka o gbuo Shimei. Ọ pụkwara tituo ya, ọ nwụọ. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ, alaeze Solomọn guzosiri ike nʼaka ya.
