2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 'Let me choose, I pray thee, twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David to-night,
Ahithofel nowachone Abisalom niya, “Kane bed ni an in, to dine ayiero ji alufu apar gariyo kendo awuokgo otieno ma kawuononi mondo alaw Daudi;
2 and come upon him, and he weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people have fled who [are] with him, and I have smitten the king by himself,
mi amonje kapod ool kendo onyosore. Anami kihondko malich make mi ji duto man kode ring weye. Daneg mana ruoth kende
3 and I bring back all the people unto thee — as the turning back of the whole [is] the man whom thou art seeking — all the people are peace.
eka aduog ji duto iri. Ka ngʼat midwaro ngimaneni otho; to ji duto noduog maonge ngʼama nohinyre.”
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Wachni ne nenore ni ber ne Abisalom gi jodong Israel duto.
5 And Absalom saith, 'Call, I pray thee, also for Hushai the Archite, and we hear what [is] in his mouth — even he.'
To Abisalom nowacho niya, “Luonguru Hushai ja-Arki, mondo en bende wawinj gima owacho.”
6 And Hushai cometh in unto Absalom, and Absalom speaketh unto him, saying, 'According to this word hath Ahithophel spoken; do we do his word? if not, thou — speak thou.'
Kane Hushai osebiro ire, Abisalom nowacho niya, “Ma e rieko mane Ahithofel osengʼado. Owinjore watim kamano koso? To ka ok kamano to kare nyiswa ane kaka iparo.”
7 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Not good [is] the counsel that Ahithophel hath counselled at this time.'
Hushai nodwoko Abisalom niya, “Rieko ma Ahithofel ongʼado kawuononi ok ber.
8 And Hushai saith, 'Thou hast known thy father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and thy father [is] a man of war, and doth not lodge with the people;
Ingʼeyo ni wuonu gi joge gin jolweny, bende gin joma ger mana ka ondiek moma nyithinde. Bende nyaka ingʼe ni wuonu en jalweny mongʼith; ok obi nindo kama jolweny nindoe.
9 lo, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it hath been, at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer hath heard, and said, There hath been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Kata mana sani koro osepondo e bur moro kata mana kamachielo; kipo ni en ema okwongo omonjo jogi, ngʼato angʼata mowinjo wachno biro wacho ni, ‘Oseneg jolweny mag Abisalom.’
10 and he also, the son of valour, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour [are] those with him.
Kata mana jalweny ma jachir ma chunye chalo gi chuny sibuor, biro kirni ka luoro ohewe, nimar Israel duto ongʼeyo wuonu ni en jalweny kendo ni ji man kode gin jochir.
11 'So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going in the midst;
“Kuom mano an angʼadoni rieko kama: Chok jo-Israel duto, chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba gin joma ngʼeny ka kwoyo man e dho nam, to in mondo itel nyimgi ka ukedo.
12 and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] upon him as the dew falleth on the ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Eka wanamonje kamoro amora minyalo yude kendo wanapodh kuome mana ka thoo momoko e lum maonge ngʼato kuomgi kata achiel manowe kangima.
13 And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a stone.'
Kaponi odhi mopondo e dala moro, to jo-Israel duto nokel tonde e dalano kendo wanaywa ohinga mar dalano mi wamuke kwatere e holo ma kata mana bathe matin ok noyudi.”
14 And Absalom saith — and all the men of Israel — 'Better [is] the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom the evil.
Abisalom kod ji duto mag Israel nowacho niya, “Rieko mar Hushai ja-Arki ber moloyo mar Ahithofel.” Nimar Jehova Nyasaye noramo ni nyaka oroch rieko maber mane Ahithofel ongʼado mondo okelni Abisalom masira.
15 And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, 'Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled;
Hushai nonyiso Zadok gi Abiathar, ma jodolo niya, “Ahithofel osengʼado rieko ni Abisalom gi jodong Israel mondo otim ma gi macha, to an bende asengʼado rieko mondo gitim mana kama.
16 and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also, certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.'
Koro oruru wach piyo piyo mondo unyis Daudi ni, ‘Kik inindi e dho wath manie thim; to nyaka ingʼadi idhi loka machielo nono to ruoth gi joma ni kode notieki.’”
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maid-servant hath gone and declared to them — and they go and have declared [it] to king David — for they are not able to be seen to go in to the city.
Jonathan gi Ahimaz ne ni En Rogel. Nyako moro ma jatich ne onego ternegi wach, to gin ne giterone ruoth Daudi nikech ne ok gidwar ni ngʼato onegi ka gidonjo e dala maduongʼno.
18 And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down there,
To kata kamano rawera moro nonenogi mowacho ni Abisalom. Omiyo ji ariyogi nowuok piyo kendo negidhi Bahurim e od ngʼat moro. Ne en gi soko e laru mare, kendo negidonjo e iye.
19 and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the thing hath not been known.
Chi ngʼatno nokawo gimoro ma oumogo soko bangʼe ne omoyo cham e wiye. To onge ngʼama nofwenyo sokono.
20 And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the house, and say, 'Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the woman saith to them, 'They passed over the brook of water;' and they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem.
Kane jo-Abisalom obiro e od dhakoni, negipenje niya, “Ere Ahimaz gi Jonathan?” Dhakono nodwoko niya, “Ne gisengʼado aora.” Jogi nodwero to ne ok giyudo ngʼato, mine gidok Jerusalem.
21 And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and say unto David, 'Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
Ka jogo nosedhi, ji ariyogi nowuok e soko mi gidhi gitero ni ruoth Daudi wach. Negiwachone niya, “Wuogi ingʼad aora piyo, Ahithofel osengʼado rieko machal kama kuomi.”
22 And David riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning, till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the Jordan.
Omiyo Daudi gi ji duto mane ni kode nowuok mongʼado aora Jordan. Kane piny yawore to ne onge ngʼat modongʼ kapok ongʼado Jordan.
23 And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
Kane Ahithofel oneno ni rieko mane ongʼado ok oluw, noidho pundane modok dalagi e ode. Noloso weche mag ode; bangʼe ne odere. Omiyo notho moike e bur wuon mare.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Daudi nodhi Mahanaim, to Abisalom nongʼado aora Jordan kod jo-Israel duto.
25 and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host, and Amasa [is] a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Abisalom noseketo Amasa mondo otel ni jolweny kar Joab. Amasa ne wuod ngʼat moro miluongo ni Jetha, ja-Israel mane okendo Abigael, nyar Nahash mane nyamin Zeruya ma min Joab.
26 and Israel encampeth with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Jo-Israel gi Abisalom nojot e piny Gilead.
27 And it cometh to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
Kane Daudi obiro Mahanaim, Shobi wuod Nahash maa Raba e piny jo-Amon, gi Makir wuod Amiel maa Lo Debar, gi Barzilai ma ja-Gilead maa Rogelim,
28 couch, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
nokelo gige nindo gi bakunde to gi gik mochwe gi lowo. Bende negikelo ngano gi shairi, mogo gi cham molodi, oganda gi ngʼor,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, have brought nigh for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, 'Thy people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
mor kich gi chak mopoto, rombe, cha dhiangʼ mopoto mongʼin ni Daudi gi joge mondo ocham. Nimar negiwacho niya, “Jogi osebedo mool kendo riyo ohewogi e thim.”
