2 Samuel 21
1 Also hungur was maad in the lond of Israel in the daies of Dauid, bi thre yeer contynueli. And Dauid counselide the answere of the Lord; and the Lord seide, For Saul, and his hows, and blood, for he killide men of Gabaon.
Wakati wa utawala wa Daudi kulikuwa na njaa kwa miaka mitatu mfululizo, kwa hiyo Daudi akautafuta uso wa Bwana. Bwana akasema, “Ni kwa sababu ya Sauli na nyumba yake iliyotiwa madoa ya damu, kwa sababu aliwaua Wagibeoni.”
2 Therfor whanne Gabaonytis weren clepid, the kyng seide to hem; sotheli Gabaonytis ben not of the sones of Israel, but thei ben the relikys of Ammorreis; and the sones of Israel hadden swore to hem, `that is, that thei schulden not `be slayn, and Saul wolde smyte hem for feruent loue, as for the sones of Israel and of Juda;
Mfalme akawaita Wagibeoni na kuzumgumza nao. (Wagibeoni hawakuwa wa wana wa Israeli, ila walikuwa mabaki ya Waamori. Waisraeli walikuwa wameapa kuwaacha hai, lakini Sauli katika wivu wake kwa ajili ya Israeli na Yuda, alikuwa amejaribu kuwaangamiza.)
3 therfor Dauid seide to Gabaonytis, What schal Y do to you, and what schal be youre amendis, that ye blesse the eritage of the Lord?
Daudi akawauliza Wagibeoni, “Niwatendee nini? Nitawaridhishaje ili mbariki urithi wa Bwana?”
4 And Gabaonytis seiden to hym, No questioun is to vs on gold and siluer, but ayens Saul, and ayens his hows; nether we wolen, that a man of Israel be slayn. To whiche the kyng seide, What therfor wolen ye, that Y do to you?
Wagibeoni wakamjibu, “Hatuna haki ya kudai fedha wala dhahabu kutoka kwa Sauli au jamaa yake, wala hatuna haki ya kumuua mtu yeyote katika Israeli.” Daudi akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
5 Whiche seiden to the king, We owen to do awei so the man, that `al to brak ethir defoulide vs, and oppresside wickidli, that not oon sotheli be residue of his generacioun in alle the coostis of Israel.
Wakamjibu mfalme, “Kwa habari ya mtu aliyetuangamiza na kufanya hila mbaya dhidi yetu ili kwamba tuangamizwe na tusiwe na yeyote katika Israeli,
6 Seuene men of hise sones be youun to vs, that we `crucifie hem to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, sum tyme the chosun man of the Lord. And the kyng seide, Y schal yyue.
tupatieni wazao wake saba wa kiume tuwaue hadharani mbele za Bwana huko Gibea ya Sauli, aliyekuwa amechaguliwa na Bwana.” Basi mfalme akasema, “Nitawakabidhi kwenu.”
7 And the kyng sparide Myphibosech, sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, for the ooth of the Lord, that was bitwixe Dauid and bitwixe Jonathas, sone of Saul.
Mfalme akamhifadhi Mefiboshethi mwana wa Yonathani, mwana wa Sauli, kwa sababu ya kile kiapo mbele za Bwana kati ya Daudi na Yonathani.
8 Therfor the kyng took twei sones of Respha, douyter of Ahira, whiche sche childide to Saul, Armony, and Mysphibosech; and he took fyue sones of Mychol, douyter of Saul, whiche sche gendride to Adriel, sone of Berzellai, that was of Molaty.
Lakini mfalme akamchukua Armoni na Mefiboshethi, wana wawili wa Rispa binti Aiya, ambao alikuwa amemzalia Sauli, pamoja na wana watano wa Merabu binti Sauli, aliokuwa amemzalia Adrieli mwana wa Barzilai, Mmeholathi.
9 And he yaf hem in to the hondis of Gabaonytis, whiche crucifieden tho sones in the hil bifor the Lord; and these seuene felden slayn togidere in the daies of the firste rep, whanne the repyng of barli bigan.
Akawakabidhi kwa Wagibeoni, ambao waliwaua na kuwaweka wazi juu ya kilima mbele za Bwana. Wote saba walianguka kwa pamoja; waliuawa katika siku za kwanza za mavuno, mara tu uvunaji wa shayiri ulipokuwa unaanza.
10 Forsothe Respha, douytir of Ahia, took an heire, and `araiede to hir silf a place aboue the stoon, fro the bigynnyng of heruest til watir droppide `on hem fro heuene; and sche suffride not briddis to tere hem bi dai, nether beestis bi nyyt.
Rispa binti Aiya akachukua nguo ya gunia, akajitandikia juu ya mwamba. Kuanzia mwanzo wa mavuno mpaka mvua ziliponyesha juu ya miili ya hao waliouawa, Rispa hakuruhusu ndege wa angani kuwagusa wakati wa mchana, wala wanyama wa mwitu wakati wa usiku.
11 And tho thingis whiche Respha, secoundarie wijf of Saul, douytir of Ahia, hadde do, weren teld to Dauid.
Daudi alipoambiwa kile Rispa binti Aiya, suria wa Sauli, alichokuwa amekifanya,
12 And Dauid yede, and took the boonys of Saul, and the boonys of Jonathas, his sone, of the men of Jabes of Galaad; that hadden stole tho boonys fro the street of Bethsan, in which street the Filisteis hadden hangid hem, whanne thei hadden slayn Saul in Gelboe.
alikwenda akachukua mifupa ya Sauli na mwanawe Yonathani kutoka kwa watu wa Yabeshi-Gileadi. (Walikuwa wameichukua kwa siri kutoka uwanja wa watu wote huko Beth-Shani, mahali ambapo Wafilisti walikuwa wamewatundika baada ya kumuua Sauli huko Gilboa.)
13 And Dauid bar out fro thennus the boonys of Saul, and the boonys of Jonathas, his sone; and thei gaderiden the boonys of hem that weren crucified, and birieden tho with the boonys of Saul and of Jonathas, his sone, in the lond of Beniamyn, in the side of the sepulcre of Cys, fadir of Saul.
Daudi akaileta mifupa ya Sauli na ya mwanawe Yonathani kutoka huko, pia mifupa ya wale waliokuwa wameuawa na kutupwa ilikusanywa.
14 And thei diden al thingis, what euer thingis the kyng comaundide; and the Lord dide mercy to the lond aftir these thingis.
Wakazika mifupa ya Sauli na ya mwanawe Yonathani katika kaburi la Kishi, babaye Sauli, huko Sela katika nchi ya Benyamini, nao wakafanya kila kitu mfalme alichoagiza. Baada ya hayo, Mungu akajibu maombi kwa ajili ya nchi.
15 Forsothe batel of Filisteis was maad eft ayens Israel; and Dauid yede doun, and hise seruauntis with hym, and fouyten ayen Filisteis.
Kwa mara nyingine tena kulikuwa na vita kati ya Wafilisti na Israeli. Daudi akashuka pamoja na watu wake ili kupigana dhidi ya Wafilisti, naye akawa amechoka sana.
16 Sotheli whanne Dauid failide, Jesbydenob, that was of the kyn of Arapha, that is, of giauntis, and the yrun of his spere peiside thre hundrid ouncis, and he was gird with a newe swerd, enforside to smyte Dauid.
Naye Ishbi-Benobu, mmoja wa wazao wa Warefai, ambaye mkuki wake ulikuwa na uzito wa shekeli 300 za shaba, alikuwa amejifunga upanga mpya, naye alisema angemuua Daudi.
17 And Abisai, sone of Saruye, was in help to Dauid; and he smoot and killide the Filistei. Than the men of Dauid sworen, and seiden, Now thou schalt not go out with vs in to batel, lest thou quenche the lanterne of Israel.
Lakini Abishai mwana wa Seruya akaja kumwokoa Daudi; akampiga huyo Mfilisti, akamwangusha chini na kumuua. Ndipo watu wakamwapia Daudi, wakisema, “Kamwe hutakwenda tena nasi vitani, ili kwamba taa ya Israeli isije ikazimwa.”
18 Also the secounde batel was in Gob ayens Filisteis; thanne Sobothai of Osothai smoot Zephi, of the generacioun of Arapha, of the kyn of giauntis.
Baada ya muda, kukawa na vita nyingine na Wafilisti, huko Gobu. Wakati huo Sibekai, Mhushathi, akamuua Safu, mmoja wa wazao wa Warefai.
19 Also the thridde batel was in Gob ayens Filisteis; in which batel a man youun of God, the sone of forest, a broiderer, a man of Bethleem, smoot Golyath of Geth, whos `schaft of spere was as a beem of webbis.
Katika vita vingine na Wafilisti huko Gobu, Elhanani mwana wa Yaare-Oregimu, Mbethlehemu, alimuua nduguye Goliathi, Mgiti, ambaye mkuki wake ulikuwa na mpini kama mti wa mfumaji.
20 The fourthe batel was in Geth; where ynne was an hiy man, that hadde sixe fyngris in the hondis and feet, that is, foure and twenti; and he was of the kyn of Arapha;
Katika vita vingine tena, vilivyopiganwa huko Gathi, kulikuwako na mtu mmoja mkubwa mwenye vidole sita katika kila mkono na vidole sita kila mguu, jumla vidole ishirini na vinne. Yeye alikuwa pia mzao wa Mrefai.
21 and he blasfemyde Israel; sotheli Jonathan, sone of Samaa, brother of Dauid, killide hym.
Alipowadhihaki Israeli, Yonathani mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi, akamuua.
22 These foure weren borun of Arapha in Geth, and thei felden doun in the hond of Dauid, and of hise seruauntis.
Hawa wanne walikuwa wazao wa Warefai huko Gathi, nao walianguka kwa mikono ya Daudi na watu wake.
