2 Samũeli 21
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Daudi, nĩ kwagĩire na ngʼaragu ya mĩaka ĩtatũ ĩrũmanĩrĩire; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova. Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ ũrekĩka nĩ ũndũ wa Saũlũ o na ũndũ wa nyũmba yake ĩrĩa yaitithagia thakame; nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ooragire andũ a Gibeoni.”
Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
2 Nake mũthamaki agĩĩta andũ a Gibeoni akĩaria nao. (Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio a Gibeoni matiarĩ amwe na Isiraeli no maarĩ matigari ma Aamori; no andũ a Isiraeli nĩmehĩtĩte atĩ matikamooraga, no Saũlũ nĩ ũndũ wa kĩyo kĩrĩa aarĩ nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli na Juda nĩageririe kũmaniina.)
Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
3 Nake Daudi akĩũria andũ acio a Gibeoni atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩenda ndĩmwĩkĩre atĩa? Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ingĩĩka tũiguane nĩguo mũrathime igai rĩa Jehova?”
And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Nao andũ a Gibeoni makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũria tũheo betha kana thahabu kuuma kũrĩ Saũlũ, kana nyũmba yake, o na tũtirĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũũraga mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.” Daudi akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩatĩa mũngĩenda ndĩmwĩkĩre?”
The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
5 Nao magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa watũniinire na agĩtũciirĩra ũũru nĩgeetha tũthire, nĩguo tũtikagĩe na handũ o na ha thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli-rĩ,
Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
6 reke tũneo arũme mũgwanja a njiaro ciake nĩgeetha mooragwo na maraganio mbere ya Jehova kũu Gibea ya Saũlũ, ũrĩa mũthuure wa Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmaneana kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
7 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki akĩhonokia Mefiboshethu mũrũ wa Jonathani, mũrũ wa Saũlũ, nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa Daudi na Jonathani mũrũ wa Saũlũ meehĩtanĩire mbere ya Jehova.
But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
8 No mũthamaki agĩkuua Arimoni na Mefiboshethu, ariũ acio eerĩ a Aia, mwarĩ wa Rizipa, arĩa aaciarĩire Saũlũ, hamwe na ariũ atano a Merabu mwarĩ wa Saũlũ, arĩa aaciarĩire Adirieli mũrũ wa Barizilai ũrĩa Mũmeholathu;
But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Nake akĩmaneana kũrĩ Gibeoni, arĩa maamooragire na makĩmaaragania kĩrĩma-inĩ mbere ya Jehova. Acio othe mũgwanja maagũire hamwe; mooragirwo hĩndĩ ya matukũ ma kĩambĩrĩria kĩa magetha, o rĩrĩa magetha ma cairi maambagĩrĩria.
And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
10 Rizipa mwarĩ wa Aia akĩoya nguo ya ikũnia, na akĩmĩara hau ihiga igũrũ. Kuuma kĩambĩrĩria kĩa magetha nginya rĩrĩa mbura yoirĩire mĩĩrĩ ĩyo, ndaarekire ciimba icio ihutio nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ mũthenya, kana ihutio nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka ũtukũ.
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũrĩa Rizipa mwarĩ wa Aia, thuriya ya Saũlũ, eekĩte-rĩ,
And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
12 agĩthiĩ, agĩkuua mahĩndĩ ma Saũlũ o na ma mũriũ Jonathani kuuma kwa andũ a Jabeshi-Gileadi. Maamarutĩte na hitho kuuma kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩa mũingĩ kũu Bethi-Shani, harĩa Afilisti maamacuurĩtie, thuutha wa kũũragĩra Saũlũ kũu Giliboa.
And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
13 Daudi agĩkuua mahĩndĩ ma Saũlũ na ma mũriũ Jonathani kuuma kũu, na mahĩndĩ ma andũ arĩa moragĩtwo makaaraganio kũu makĩũnganio.
So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Nao magĩthika mahĩndĩ ma Saũlũ na ma mũriũ Jonathani mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya Kishu, ithe wa Saũlũ, kũu Zela thĩinĩ wa Benjamini, na magĩĩka maũndũ mothe marĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte. Thuutha ũcio Ngai agĩcookia mahooya marĩa maahooetwo nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri.
And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
15 O rĩngĩ nĩ kwagĩire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Afilisti na Isiraeli. Daudi agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ hamwe na andũ ake makarũe na Afilisti, na akĩnoga mũno.
Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
16 Nake Ishibi-Benobu ũrĩa warĩ ũmwe wa njiaro cia Rafa, ũrĩa mũthia wa itimũ rĩake warĩ na ũritũ wa cekeri magana matatũ, na aarĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora rwerũ, ũcio akiuga nĩekũũraga Daudi.
Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
17 No rĩrĩ, Abishai mũrũ wa Zeruia akĩhonokia Daudi; akĩgũtha Mũfilisti ũcio akĩgũa, akĩmũũraga. Ningĩ andũ a Daudi makĩĩhĩta kũrĩ we makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ũgacooka gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ na ithuĩ, nĩgeetha tawa wa Isiraeli ndũkahorio.”
But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
18 Ningĩ thuutha wa mahinda macio, makĩgĩa na mbaara ĩngĩ na Afilisti kũu Gobu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Sibekai ũrĩa Mũhushathi akĩũraga Safu, ũmwe wa njiaro cia Rafa.
And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
19 Ningĩ mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ makĩrũa na Afilisti kũu Gobu, Elihanani mũrũ wa Jaare-Oregimu ũrĩa Mũbethilehemu akĩũraga Goliathũ ũrĩa Mũgiiti, ũrĩa warĩ na itimũ rĩarĩ na mũtĩ ũigana ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora.
And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
20 Ningĩ mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ kũu Gathu, nakuo kwarĩ na mũndũ mũnene mũno, warĩ na ciara ithathatũ o guoko, na ciara ithathatũ o kũgũrũ, ciothe ciarĩ ciara mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya. O na ningĩ aarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Rafa.
Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
21 Rĩrĩa aanyũrũririe andũ a Isiraeli, Jonathani mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akĩmũũraga.
And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
22 Andũ acio ana maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Rafa kũu Gathu nao makĩgũa moko-inĩ ma Daudi na andũ ake.
These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
