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.”
And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, 'For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death 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.)
And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah —
3 Nake Daudi akĩũria andũ acio a Gibeoni atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩenda ndĩmwĩkĩre atĩa? Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ingĩĩka tũiguane nĩguo mũrathime igai rĩa Jehova?”
yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, 'What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.'
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?”
And the Gibeonites say to him, 'We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;' and he saith, 'What ye are saying I do to 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,
And they say unto the king, 'The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border 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 there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.' And the king saith, 'I do give;'
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.
and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son 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;
and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel son 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 giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
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.
And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũrĩa Rizipa mwarĩ wa Aia, thuriya ya Saũlũ, eekĩte-rĩ,
And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath 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 David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;
13 Daudi agĩkuua mahĩndĩ ma Saũlũ na ma mũriũ Jonathani kuuma kũu, na mahĩndĩ ma andũ arĩa moragĩtwo makaaraganio kũu makĩũnganio.
and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those 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 bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.
15 O rĩngĩ nĩ kwagĩire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Afilisti na Isiraeli. Daudi agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ hamwe na andũ ake makarũe na Afilisti, na akĩnoga mũno.
And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
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.
and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting David,
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.”
and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, 'Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench the lamp 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 it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
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 the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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.
And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,
21 Rĩrĩa aanyũrũririe andũ a Isiraeli, Jonathani mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akĩmũũraga.
and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;
22 Andũ acio ana maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Rafa kũu Gathu nao makĩgũa moko-inĩ ma Daudi na andũ ake.
these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
