Βασιλειῶν Βʹ 17
1 καὶ εἶπεν Αχιτοφελ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ ἐπιλέξω δὴ ἐμαυτῷ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἀναστήσομαι καὶ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω Δαυιδ τὴν νύκτα
Ahithofeli akamwambia Absalomu, “Nipe ruhusa niwachague watu kumi na mbili elfu na waanze safari usiku huu huu kumfuatia Daudi.
2 καὶ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὸς κοπιῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος χερσίν καὶ ἐκστήσω αὐτόν καὶ φεύξεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξω τὸν βασιλέα μονώτατον
Nitamshambulia wakati akiwa amechoka na ni dhaifu. Nitampiga na hofu, na kisha watu wote walio pamoja naye watakimbia. Nitampiga mfalme peke yake
3 καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρὸς σέ ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς πλὴν ψυχὴν ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς σὺ ζητεῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται εἰρήνη
na kuwarudisha watu wote kwako. Kifo cha mtu yule unayemtafuta kitamaanisha kurudi kwa wote, hakuna hata mtu mmoja atakayeumizwa.”
4 καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ισραηλ
Mpango huu ulionekana mzuri kwa Absalomu na kwa wazee wote wa Israeli.
5 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ καλέσατε δὴ καί γε τὸν Χουσι τὸν Αραχι καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τί ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καί γε αὐτοῦ
Lakini Absalomu akasema, “Pia mwiteni Hushai, Mwariki, ili tuweze kusikia anachokisema.”
6 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ἐλάλησεν Αχιτοφελ εἰ ποιήσομεν κατὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ εἰ δὲ μή σὺ λάλησον
Hushai alipokuja, Absalomu akasema, “Ahithofeli ametoa shauri hili. Je, tufanye anavyosema? Kama sivyo, tupe maoni yako.”
7 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλή ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο Αχιτοφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο
Hushai akamjibu Absalomu, “Shauri la Ahithofeli alilotoa halifai kwa wakati huu.
8 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι σὺ οἶδας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ὅτι δυνατοί εἰσιν σφόδρα καὶ κατάπικροι τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν ὡς ἄρκος ἠτεκνωμένη ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ὗς τραχεῖα ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλύσῃ τὸν λαόν
Unamfahamu baba yako na watu wake, ni wapiganaji hodari, nao ni wakali kama dubu mwitu aliyepokonywa watoto wake. Zaidi ya hayo, baba yako ni mpiganaji jasiri, usiku hatalala pamoja na vikosi.
9 ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸς νῦν κέκρυπται ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν βουνῶν ἢ ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούων καὶ εἴπῃ ἐγενήθη θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ὀπίσω Αβεσσαλωμ
Hata sasa, amefichwa ndani ya pango au mahali pengine. Kama atatangulia kushambulia vikosi vyako, yeyote asikiaye habari hii atasema, ‘Kuna machinjo makubwa miongoni mwa vikosi vinavyomfuata Absalomu.’
10 καί γε αὐτὸς υἱὸς δυνάμεως οὗ ἡ καρδία καθὼς ἡ καρδία τοῦ λέοντος τηκομένη τακήσεται ὅτι οἶδεν πᾶς Ισραηλ ὅτι δυνατὸς ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ υἱοὶ δυνάμεως οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ
Basi hata yule askari hodari kuliko wengine wote, ambaye moyo wake ni kama wa simba, atayeyuka kwa hofu, kwa maana Israeli yote wanajua kwamba baba yako ni mpiganaji na kwamba wale walio pamoja naye ni watu hodari.
11 ὅτι οὕτως συμβουλεύων ἐγὼ συνεβούλευσα καὶ συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ Δαν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεε ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πορευόμενον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
“Kwa hiyo nakushauri: Israeli wote na wakusanyikie kwako, kuanzia Dani hadi Beer-Sheba, katika wingi wao jinsi walivyo kama mchanga wa ufuoni mwa bahari, wewe mwenyewe ukiwaongoza vitani.
12 καὶ ἥξομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν τόπων οὗ ἐὰν εὕρωμεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ καὶ παρεμβαλοῦμεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν ὡς πίπτει ἡ δρόσος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ καί γε ἕνα
Ndipo tutakapomshambulia popote atakapoonekana, nasi tutamwangukia kama umande unavyoshuka juu ya ardhi. Yeye mwenyewe wala watu wake hakuna atakayeachwa hai.
13 καὶ ἐὰν εἰς πόλιν συναχθῇ καὶ λήμψεται πᾶς Ισραηλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος
Kama atakimbilia katika mji wowote, basi Israeli wote watazungushia mji ule kamba, nasi tutauburuta mji huo mpaka bondeni hadi isionekane hata changarawe ya huo mji.”
14 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἀγαθὴ ἡ βουλὴ Χουσι τοῦ Αραχι ὑπὲρ τὴν βουλὴν Αχιτοφελ καὶ κύριος ἐνετείλατο διασκεδάσαι τὴν βουλὴν Αχιτοφελ τὴν ἀγαθήν ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ κύριος ἐπὶ Αβεσσαλωμ τὰ κακὰ πάντα
Absalomu na watu wote wa Israeli wakasema, “Shauri la Hushai, Mwariki, ni jema zaidi kuliko lile la Ahithofeli.” Kwa maana Bwana alikuwa amekusudia kupinga shauri nzuri la Ahithofeli, ili kuleta maafa juu ya Absalomu.
15 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι ὁ τοῦ Αραχι πρὸς Σαδωκ καὶ Αβιαθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσεν Αχιτοφελ τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις Ισραηλ καὶ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσα ἐγώ
Hushai akawaambia makuhani Sadoki na Abiathari, “Ahithofeli amemshauri Absalomu na wazee wa Israeli kufanya kadha wa kadha, lakini mimi nimewashauri wao kufanya kadha wa kadha.
16 καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυιδ λέγοντες μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν Αραβωθ τῆς ἐρήμου καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον μήποτε καταπίῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ
Sasa tumeni ujumbe haraka na kumwambia Daudi, ‘Usiku huu usilale kwenye vivuko katika jangwa; vuka bila kukosa, la sivyo, mfalme pamoja na watu wote waliofuatana naye watamezwa.’”
17 καὶ Ιωναθαν καὶ Αχιμαας εἱστήκεισαν ἐν τῇ πηγῇ Ρωγηλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ παιδίσκη καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται καὶ ἀναγγέλλουσιν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυιδ ὅτι οὐκ ἐδύναντο ὀφθῆναι τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν
Yonathani na Ahimaasi walikuwa wakingoja huko En-Rogeli, naye mtumishi mmoja wa kike akawa anakwenda kuwapasha habari nao wakawa wanakwenda kumwambia Mfalme Daudi, kwa maana wasingetaka kujihatarisha kuonekana wakiingia mjini.
18 καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς παιδάριον καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ταχέως καὶ εἰσῆλθαν εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν Βαουριμ καὶ αὐτῷ λάκκος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκεῖ
Lakini kijana mmoja mwanaume akawaona, naye akamwambia Absalomu. Basi wote wawili wakaondoka haraka, wakaenda mpaka kwenye nyumba ya mtu mmoja huko Bahurimu. Mtu huyo alikuwa na kisima katika ua wa nyumba yake, nao Yonathani na Ahimaasi wakateremka ndani ya kisima hicho.
19 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ Αραφωθ καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ῥῆμα
Mkewe akachukua kifuniko, akakiweka kwenye mdomo wa kile kisima na kuanika nafaka juu yake. Hakuna mtu yeyote aliyefahamu chochote kuhusu jambo hilo.
20 καὶ ἦλθαν οἱ παῖδες Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ εἶπαν ποῦ Αχιμαας καὶ Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ γυνή παρῆλθαν μικρὸν τοῦ ὕδατος καὶ ἐζήτησαν καὶ οὐχ εὗραν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ
Watu wa Absalomu walipofika kwa huyo mwanamke, wakamuuliza, “Wako wapi Ahimaasi na Yonathani?” Huyo mwanamke akawajibu, “Walivuka kijito.” Watu wa Absalomu wakapekua lakini hawakuwaona hata mmoja, hivyo wakarudi Yerusalemu.
21 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἀνάστητε καὶ διάβητε ταχέως τὸ ὕδωρ ὅτι οὕτως ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ὑμῶν Αχιτοφελ
Baada ya watu hao kuondoka, wale watu wawili yaani Yonathani na Ahimaasi wakapanda kutoka mle kisimani na kwenda kumpasha Mfalme Daudi habari. Wakamwambia, “Ondoka, uvuke haya maji haraka. Ahithofeli ameshauri kadha wa kadha dhidi yako.”
22 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ιορδάνην ἕως τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πρωί ἕως ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔλαθεν ὃς οὐ διῆλθεν τὸν Ιορδάνην
Kwa hiyo Daudi na watu wote aliokuwa nao waliondoka na kuvuka Yordani. Kufika wakati wa mapambazuko, hapakuwa na mtu hata mmoja ambaye alikuwa hajavuka Mto Yordani.
23 καὶ Αχιτοφελ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγξατο καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ
Ahithofeli alipoona kwamba shauri lake halikufuatwa, akatandika punda wake, akaondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake kwenye mji wake. Akaiweka nyumba yake katika utaratibu, kisha akajinyonga mwenyewe. Hivyo akafa na akazikwa katika kaburi la baba yake.
24 καὶ Δαυιδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναϊμ καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ διέβη τὸν Ιορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ
Daudi akaenda Mahanaimu, naye Absalomu akavuka Yordani pamoja na watu wote wa Israeli.
25 καὶ τὸν Αμεσσαϊ κατέστησεν Αβεσσαλωμ ἀντὶ Ιωαβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ Αμεσσαϊ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ιοθορ ὁ Ισραηλίτης οὗτος εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Αβιγαιαν θυγατέρα Ναας ἀδελφὴν Σαρουιας μητρὸς Ιωαβ
Absalomu alikuwa amemweka Amasa juu ya jeshi badala ya Yoabu. Amasa alikuwa mwana wa mtu mmoja aliyeitwa Yetheri, Mwisraeli, ambaye alikuwa amemwoa Abigaili binti Nahashi, dada yake Seruya mamaye Yoabu.
26 καὶ παρενέβαλεν πᾶς Ισραηλ καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλααδ
Waisraeli na Absalomu wakapiga kambi huko nchi ya Gileadi.
27 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Δαυιδ εἰς Μαναϊμ Ουεσβι υἱὸς Ναας ἐκ Ραββαθ υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ Μαχιρ υἱὸς Αμιηλ ἐκ Λωδαβαρ καὶ Βερζελλι ὁ Γαλααδίτης ἐκ Ρωγελλιμ
Daudi alipofika Mahanaimu, Shobi mwana wa Nahashi kutoka Raba ya Waamoni, Makiri mwana wa Amieli kutoka Lo-Debari, na Barzilai Mgileadi kutoka Rogelimu
28 ἤνεγκαν δέκα κοίτας καὶ ἀμφιτάπους καὶ λέβητας δέκα καὶ σκεύη κεράμου καὶ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ ἄλευρον καὶ ἄλφιτον καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν
wakaleta matandiko ya kitandani, mabakuli na vyombo vya mfinyanzi. Walileta pia ngano na shayiri, unga na bisi, maharagwe na kunde,
29 καὶ μέλι καὶ βούτυρον καὶ πρόβατα καὶ Σαφφωθ βοῶν καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν ὅτι εἶπαν ὁ λαὸς πεινῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ διψῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
asali na maziwa yaliyoganda, kondoo na jibini kutoka kwenye maziwa ya ngʼombe kwa ajili ya Daudi na watu wake ili wale. Kwa maana walisema, “Watu wameona njaa, tena wamechoka na wamepata kiu huko jangwani.”
