2 Samũeli 19

1 Nake Joabu akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩararĩra agĩcakayagĩra Abisalomu.”

Yowaabu n’ategeezebwa nti, “Kabaka akaaba era akungubagira Abusaalomu.”

2 Naguo ũhootani wa mũthenya ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita ciothe ũkĩgarũrũka, ũgĩtuĩka macakaya, tondũ mũthenya ũcio mbũtũ cia ita nĩciaiguire gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mũriũ.”

Ku lunaku olwo obuwanguzi ne bufuuka okukungubaga eri abantu bonna, kubanga baawulira nti, “Kabaka anakuwadde olwa mutabani we.”

3 Mũthenya ũcio andũ magĩcooka itũũra-inĩ inene na hitho, o ta ũrĩa andũ macookaga na hitho maconokete rĩrĩa moorĩte kuuma mbaara-inĩ.

Abantu ne bebbirira ne bayingira mu kibuga, ng’abantu abakwatiddwa ensonyi bwe bafaanana nga badduse mu lutalo.

4 Nake mũthamaki akĩhumbĩra ũthiũ, akĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa! Ũũi Abisalomu, mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa!”

Kabaka n’abikka amaaso ge n’akaaba n’eddoboozi ddene nti, “Mutabani wange Abusaalomu! Woowe Abusaalomu mutabani wange!”

5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu agĩtoonya nyũmba kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩũconorithĩtie andũ aku othe, arĩa marĩkĩtie kũhonokia muoyo waku, na mĩoyo ya ariũ aku na ya airĩtu aku, na mĩoyo ya atumia aku o na ya thuriya ciaku.

Awo Yowaabu n’alaga mu nnyumba kabaka gye yali n’amugamba nti, “Leero oswazizza abaweereza bo, abawonyezza obulamu bwo, n’obulamu bwa batabani bo ne bawala bo, n’obulamu bwa bakyala bo n’abazaana bo.

6 Wee wendete arĩa magũthũire, na ũkamena arĩa makwendete. Ũmũthĩ nĩwonanĩtie biũ atĩ ndũrĩ bata na anene a mbũtũ cia ita o na andũ ao. Niĩ nguona atĩ wee gĩkeno gĩaku kĩngĩrĩ rĩrĩa Abisalomu angĩrĩ muoyo ũmũthĩ na ithuothe tũkorwo tũkuĩte.

Oyagala abakukyawa ate n’okyawa abakwagala. Leero okikakasizza ng’abaduumizi n’abaweereza si kintu gy’oli. Era kindabikira nga singa Abusaalomu abadde mulamu, ffe ffenna nga tufudde leero, wandisanyuse.

7 Rĩu ũkĩra ũthiĩ ũkoomĩrĩrie andũ aku ũmekĩre hinya. Niĩ ngwĩhĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova atĩ aakorwo ndũkuuma ũthiĩ gũtanatuka, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgũkorwo mwena waku. Ũndũ ũyũ ũgũtuĩka mũũru kũrĩ we gũkĩra maũndũ mothe mooru marĩa managũkora kuuma ũrĩ mũnini nginya rĩu.”

Kale nno golokoka ogende ogumye emyoyo gy’abaweereza bo, kubanga nkulayirira eri Mukama, nga bwe wataabeewo musajja n’omu anaasigala naawe ekiro kya leero. Ekyo kye kirisingako obubi okusinga obubi bwonna bwe wali olabye okuva mu buto bwo.”

8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩũkĩra, agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩhingo-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ,” othe magĩũka mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoorĩte magacooka kwao mĩciĩ.

Awo kabaka n’agolokoka, n’addira entebe ye n’agiteeka mu mulyango ogwa wankaaki, bonna ne bajja gy’ali. Mu kiseera ekyo Abayisirayiri baali baddukidde buli muntu ewuwe.

9 Mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, andũ othe maakararanagia makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩwe watũkũũrire kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciitũ; nĩwe watũhonokirie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti. No rĩu nĩorĩte akoima bũrũri-inĩ akĩũrĩra Abisalomu;

Abantu bonna mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri baali bakaayana nga boogera nti, “Kabaka yatuwonya mu mukono gw’abalabe baffe, n’atuwonya ne mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti, kaakano adduse Abusaalomu n’ava mu nsi.

10 nake Abisalomu ũrĩa twaitĩrĩirie maguta atũthamakĩre-rĩ, nĩakuĩrĩire mbaara-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwagĩte kwaria ũhoro wa gũcookia mũthamaki nĩkĩ?”

Naye Abusaalomu gwe twalonda okutufuga afiiridde mu lutalo. Kaakano kiki ekitulobera okukomyawo kabaka?”

11 Mũthamaki Daudi nĩatũmanire kũrĩ Zadoku na Abiatharu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai, makeerwo atĩrĩ, “Ũriai athuuri a Juda atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrigie thuutha harĩ gũcookia mũthamaki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, kuona atĩ ũrĩa kũraario Isiraeli guothe nĩgũkinyĩire mũthamaki kũrĩa aikaraga?

Awo kabaka Dawudi n’atumira Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona nti, “Mubuuze abakadde ba Yuda nti, ‘Lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka mu lubiri lwe, ebigambo nga byatuuse dda ku kabaka okuva mu Isirayiri yenna?

12 Inyuĩ mũrĩ ariũ a baba, tũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe, na thakame ĩmwe. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma mũtuĩke a kũrigia thuutha kũinũkia mũthamaki?’

Mmwe muli baganda bange, mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange, naye lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka?’

13 Ningĩ mwĩre Amasa atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ wee ndũrĩ wa mũthiimo wakwa, na thakame yakwa? Ngai arothũũra o na anjĩke ũũru makĩria, angĩkorwo kuuma rĩu gũthiĩ na mbere wee tiwe ũgũtuĩka mũnene wa mbũtũ ciakwa cia ita ithenya rĩa Joabu.’”

Ate mugambe ne Amasa nti, ‘Toli mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange? Katonda ankole bw’atyo n’okukirawo, bw’otobeere muduumizi wa ggye lyange mu kifo kya Yowaabu okuva ne kaakano.’”

14 Nake mũthamaki akĩguucĩrĩria ngoro cia andũ othe a Juda ta ciarĩ ngoro ya mũndũ ũmwe. Nao magĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Cooka, wee hamwe na andũ aku othe.”

N’awamba emitima gy’abantu bonna aba Yuda ne baba omuntu omu, ne baweereza obubaka eri kabaka nti, “Mukomeewo, ggwe n’abaweereza bo bonna.”

15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩcooka agĩthiĩ agĩkinya Jorodani. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Juda nĩmookĩte Giligali nĩguo matũnge mũthamaki mamũringie Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.

Awo kabaka n’addayo n’atuuka ku Yoludaani. Abantu ba Yuda ne bajja e Girugaali okusisinkana kabaka, n’okumusomosa Yoludaani.

16 Nake Shimei mũrũ wa Gera, Mũbenjamini kuuma Bahurimu, agĩikũrũka na ihenya marĩ na andũ a Juda nĩguo magatũnge Mũthamaki Daudi.

Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera Omubenyamini ow’e Bakulimu n’aserengeta mangu n’abasajja ba Yuda okusisinkana kabaka Dawudi.

17 Nake aarĩ na andũ a Benjamini ngiri ĩmwe, o hamwe na Ziba ndungata ya mũciĩ wa Saũlũ, na ariũ ake ikũmi na atano, na ndungata mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nao makĩhanyũka nginya Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani harĩa mũthamaki aarĩ.

Yagenda n’Ababenyamini lukumi, ne Ziba omuddu w’ennyumba ya Sawulo ne batabani be kkumi na bataano n’abaweereza be amakumi abiri. Ne banguwa okulaga ku Yoludaani kabaka gye yali.

18 Makĩringĩra iriũko-inĩ nĩguo maringie andũ a nyũmba ya mũthamaki na meeke o ũrĩa angĩenda. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Shimei mũrũ wa Gera aaringire Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani akĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya mũthamaki,

Ne basomosa ennyumba ya Dawudi, era ne bakola ng’okusiima kwe bwe kwali. Awo Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera n’asomoka Yoludaani, n’agwa bugazi mu maaso ga kabaka,

19 na akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩ atige kũndua mwĩhia. Tiga kũririkana ũrĩa ndungata yaku yekire mahĩtia mũthenya ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oimire Jerusalemu. Mũthamaki nĩatige kũiga ũhoro ũcio meciiria-inĩ make.

n’amwegayirira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange ansonyiwe, aleme okujjukira ebisobyo bye nakola ku lunaku luli, mukama wange kabaka lwe yava mu Yerusaalemi. Kabaka aleme okukijjukira.

20 Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndungata yaku nĩnjũũĩ atĩ nĩnjĩhĩtie, no ũmũthĩ nĩndoka haha ndĩ mũndũ wa mbere wa nyũmba yothe ya andũ a Jusufu; ndaikũrũka njũke ndũnge mũthamaki mwathi wakwa.”

Kubanga nze omuweereza wo mmanyi nga nayonoona, naye leero mu nnyumba eya Yusufu nze nsoose okujja okusisinkana mukama wange kabaka.”

21 Ningĩ Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Shimei ndagĩrĩire nĩ kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ekĩte? Nĩarumire mũitĩrĩrie maguta wa Jehova.”

Awo Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’ayogera nti, “Lwaki Simeeyi tattibwa olw’okukolimira omulonde wa Mukama?”

22 Nake Daudi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũnyiitanĩire ũndũ ũrĩkũ na inyuĩ, inyuĩ ariũ a Zeruia? Ũmũthĩ nĩguo mũgũtuĩka thũ ciakwa! No kũhoteke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ooragwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli ũmũthĩ? Githĩ niĩ ndikĩũĩ atĩ ũmũthĩ nĩ niĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli?”

Naye Dawudi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiki ekitugatta nze nammwe batabani ba Zeruyiya, mulyoke mufuuke abalabe bange olwa leero? Lwaki omuntu yenna attibwa mu Isirayiri olwa leero, ate nga mmanyi nga nze kabaka wa Isirayiri leero?”

23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩĩra Shimei atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgũkua.” Nake mũthamaki akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa.

Awo kabaka n’agamba Simeeyi nti, “Tojja kufa.” Era kabaka n’amulayirira.

24 Na rĩrĩ, Mefiboshethu, mwana wa mũriũ wa Saũlũ, o nake nĩaikũrũkire agĩthiĩ gũtũnga mũthamaki. Nake ndethambĩte magũrũ kana akenja nderu, o na kana akahũũra nguo ciake kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa mũthamaki aathiire nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aacookire arĩ na thayũ.

Mefibosesi muzzukulu wa Sawulo naye n’aserengeta okusisinkana kabaka; yali tanaabanga bigere bye newaakubadde okumwa ekirevu kye newaakubadde okwoza engoye ze, okuva ku lunaku kabaka lwe yagenderako okutuusa ku lunaku lwe yakomawo emirembe.

25 Rĩrĩa ooimire Jerusalemu agatũnge mũthamaki, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mefiboshethu, nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũthiĩ na niĩ?”

Awo bwe yatuuka okuva e Yerusaalemi n’asisinkana kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyakulobera okugenda nange Mefibosesi?”

26 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndungata yaku ndĩ mwonju, ‘Ndoigire atĩrĩ, nĩngũigĩrĩra ndigiri yakwa matandĩko na ndĩmĩhaice, nĩguo hote gũthiĩ na mũthamaki’. No Ziba ndungata yakwa akĩngunyanĩra.

N’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, kabaka, okimanyi nga omuweereza wo mulema. Nagamba omuddu wange nti, ‘Ntekerateekera endogoyi, njebagale, ŋŋende ne kabaka,’ naye n’ambuzaabuza, n’abulawo.

27 Na nĩacambĩtie ndungata yaku kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. Mwathi wakwa mũthamaki ahaana ta mũraika wa Ngai; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩka ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.

Yajja eri mukama wange kabaka n’ayogera ku muddu wo ebya kalebule. Naye mukama wange kabaka ali nga malayika wa Katonda, noolwekyo kola nga bw’osiima.

28 Njiaro ciothe cia guka ciagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũragwo nĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. No wee nĩwaheire ndungata yaku handũ na arĩa marĩĩagĩra metha-inĩ yaku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndĩ na kĩhooto kĩrĩkũ gĩa gũgũkaĩra rĩngĩ mũthamaki wakwa?”

Ab’ennyumba ya jjajjange bonna baali basaanira kufa bufi mu maaso ga mukama wange kabaka, naye nange n’omala gansaasira n’onzikiriza okuba ku abo abatuula ku mmeeza yo. Kale kiki kye sifunye okuva eri kabaka?”

29 Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma warie makĩria ma ũguo? Ndaathana atĩ wee na Ziba mũgayane mũgũnda.”

Awo kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki weeyongera okweyogerako? Ndagidde kaakano, ggwe ne Ziba mugabane ettaka eryo.”

30 Mefiboshethu akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Reke oe mĩgũnda yothe, kuona atĩ wee mwathi wakwa nĩũcookete mũciĩ na thayũ.”

Mefibosesi n’agamba kabaka nti, “Atwale lyonna, kubanga mukama wange kabaka akomyewo mirembe mu bwakabaka bwe.”

31 Ningĩ Barizilai, ũrĩa Mũgileadi agĩikũrũka kuuma Rogelimu akaringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani me hamwe na mũthamaki, na amumagarie njĩra-inĩ ya kuuma kũu.

Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi naye n’aserengeta okuva e Logerimu n’agenda okusomosa kabaka, Yoludaani.

32 Na rĩrĩ, Barizilai aarĩ mũthuuri mũkũrũ mũno wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana. Nĩwe waheaga mũthamaki irio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikarĩte Mahanaimu, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũtongu mũno.

Baluzirayi yali musajja mukadde nnyo, ng’awezezza emyaka kinaana, era yali agabiridde kabaka ebyokulya we yabeerera e Makanayimu kubanga yali musajja mugagga nnyo.

33 Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra Barizilai atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringe mũrĩmo nawe, tũthiĩ ũikare hamwe na niĩ Jerusalemu, na nĩndĩrĩkũheaga irio.”

Awo kabaka n’agamba Baluzirayi nti, “Somoka nange, tugende ffenna e Yerusaalemi, n’akulabiriranga.”

34 Nowe Barizilai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mĩaka ĩngĩ ĩigana atĩa niĩ ngũtũũra muoyo nĩguo nyambate thiĩ Jerusalemu hamwe na mũthamaki?

Naye Baluzirayi n’addamu kabaka nti, “Nnina ennaku meka okuba omulamu, ndyoke ŋŋende ne kabaka e Yerusaalemi?

35 Rĩu ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana. No menye ũtiganu wa ũndũ mwega na mũũru? Ndungata yaku yahota gũcama kĩrĩa ĩrarĩa na kĩrĩa ĩranyua? No hote kũigua mĩgambo ya arũme na ya andũ-a-nja makĩina? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma ndungata yaku ĩtuĩke mũrigo ũngĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa?

Mpezezza emyaka kinaana, olowooza nkyayinza okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi? Olowooza nga omuddu wo akyayinza okutegeera ky’alya ne ky’anywa? Nkyayinza okuwuliriza amaloboozi g’abasajja abayimba n’abakyala abayimbi? Lwaki nzitoowerera mukama wange kabaka?

36 Ndungata yaku nĩĩkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani hamwe na mũthamaki handũ ha itĩĩna inini, no nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma mũthamaki andĩhe niĩ na njĩra ĩyo?

Omuweereza wo anasomosa busomosa kabaka, Yoludaani, naye nga siraba kiki enkimpeesa empeera eyenkana awo.

37 Reke ndungata yaku ĩcooke, nĩgeetha ngaakuĩra itũũra-inĩ rĩakwa hakuhĩ na mbĩrĩra ya baba na maitũ. No rĩrĩ, ndungata yaku Kimuhamu nĩĩringe hamwe na mũthamaki mwathi wakwa. Mĩĩke o ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.”

Nkwegayiridde, kkiriza omuddu wo addeyo, nfiire mu kibuga kyange okumpi n’ebiggya bya kitange ne mmange. Naye omuddu wo Kimamu wuuyo. Leka asomoke ne mukama wange kabaka, onoomukolera byonna nga bw’onoosiima.”

38 Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kimuhamu nĩekũringa hamwe na niĩ, na nĩngũmwĩka o ũrĩa ũngĩona kwagĩrĩire. Na ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda kuuma kũrĩ niĩ nĩ ngũgwĩkĩra.”

Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Kale Kimamu anaasomoka nange, era ndimukolera nga bw’olisiima; ne kyonna ky’onooyagala n’akikukolera.”

39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, nake mũthamaki agĩcooka akĩringa. Mũthamaki akĩmumunya Barizilai na akĩmũrathima, nake Barizilai agĩcooka gwake mũciĩ.

Awo abantu bonna ne basomoka Yoludaani, kabaka n’asomoka nabo. Kabaka n’anywegera Baluzirayi n’amusabira omukisa, n’addayo ewuwe.

40 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaringire mũrĩmo agĩkinya Giligali, Kimuhamu akĩringa hamwe nake. Nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita cia Juda na nuthu ya mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli ikĩringia mũthamaki.

Kabaka n’agenda e Girugaali ne Kimamu n’agenda naye; abantu bonna aba Yuda, n’ekimu kyakubiri ku bantu ba Isirayiri ne bawerekera kabaka.

41 Thuutha wa kahinda kanini andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmookaga kũrĩ mũthamaki makamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire ariũ a baba, andũ a Juda, matũtunye mũthamaki na wara, na mamũcookie nyũmba yake kuuma mũrĩmo wa Jorodani, hamwe na andũ ake othe?”

Oluvannyuma lwe bbanga ttono, abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bagenda eri kabaka, ne bagamba kabaka nti, “Lwaki baganda baffe, abasajja aba Yuda, babba kabaka, ne bamutwala ye n’ennyumba ye, ne bamusomosa Yoludaani n’abasajja be?”

42 Andũ othe a Juda magĩcookeria andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Twekire ũguo tondũ mũthamaki nĩ wa nyũmba iitũ. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũrakario nĩ ũhoro ũcio? Nĩ irio tũrĩĩte cia mũthamaki? Nĩ harĩ kĩndũ twĩyoeire ithuĩ ene?”

Abasajja bonna aba Yuda ne baddamu abasajja ba Isirayiri nti, “Ekyo twakikola kubanga tuli ba musaayi gumu naye. Kiki ekibatabudde mu nsonga eyo? Tulina bye tulidde ku bya kabaka? Oba mulowooza nga tulina ebirabo bye tugabanye?”

43 Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩcookeria andũ a Juda atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ na icunjĩ ikũmi kũrĩ mũthamaki, na hamwe na ũguo-rĩ, tũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gũtuĩka a Daudi gũkĩra inyuĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũtũmene? Githĩ ti ithuĩ twarĩ a mbere kwaria ũhoro wa gũcookia mũthamaki witũ?” No andũ a Juda magĩcookia marĩ na ũũru mũingĩ mũno o na gũkĩra andũ a Isiraeli.

Awo abasajja ba Isirayiri ne baddamu abasajja ba Yuda nti, “Okusooka byonna, obwakabaka tubulinamu emigabo kkumi. N’ekyokubiri, Dawudi wa ku luganda lwaffe n’okusinga mmwe. Kale lwaki mwatunyooma? Si ffe twasooka okwogera ku ky’okukomyawo kabaka waffe?” Naye ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Yuda ne biba bisongovu nnyo n’okusinga ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Isirayiri.
