Βασιλειῶν Βʹ 17
1 καὶ εἶπεν Αχιτοφελ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ ἐπιλέξω δὴ ἐμαυτῷ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἀναστήσομαι καὶ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω Δαυιδ τὴν νύκτα
Kisha Ahithofeli akamwambia Absalomu, “Niruhusu sasa nichague watu elfu kumi na mbili nami nitaondoka na kumfuatia Daudi usiku huu.
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
Nitampata kwa ghafla wakati amechoka na dhaifu nami nitamstukiza kwa hofu. Watu waliopamoja naye watakimbia nami nitamshambulia 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
Nitawarejesha watu wote kwako kama bibi harusi ajavyo kwa bwana wake, na watu wote watakuwa katika amani chini yako.”
4 καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ισραηλ
Alichokisema Ahithofeli kikampendeza mfalme na 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
Kisha Absalomu akasema, “Sasa mwiteni pia Hushai Mwarki ili tusikie yeye pia anasemavyo.”
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 alipofika kwa Absalomu, Absalomu akamweleza kile ambacho Ahithofeli alikuwa amesema na kisha akamwuliza Hushai, “Je tufanye alivyosema Ahithofeli? Ikiwa hapana, tueleze kile unachoshauri.”
7 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλή ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο Αχιτοφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο
Hivyo Hushai akamwambia Absalomu, “Ushauri aliotoa Ahithofeli siyo mzuri 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
Hushai akaongeza, “Unamjua baba yako na kwamba watu wake ni mashujaa na kwa sasa wanauchungu, ni kama dubu aliyenyang'anywa watoto wake mwituni. Baba yako ni mtu wa vita; hatalala na jeshi usiku huu.
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
Tazama, kwa wakati huu pengine amejificha katika shimo fulani au mahali pengine. Itakuwa kwamba baadhi ya watu wako watakapokuwa wameuawa mwanzoni mwa shambulio hata kila mtu atakayesikia atasema, mauaji yamefanyika kwa askari wanaomfuata 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
Kisha hata askari jasiri zaidi ambao moyo wao ni kama moyo wa simba, wataogopa kwa kuwa Israeli yote inajua kwamba baba yako ni mtu mwenye nguvu na kwamba watu alionao ni wenye nguvu sana.
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
Hivyo ninashauri kwamba Israeli wote wakutanike kwako pamoja kutoka Dani hadi Beersheba, wengi kama mchanga ufuoni mwa bahari na kwamba wewe mwenyewe uende 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
Kisha tutampata popote atakapokuwa nasi tutamfunika kama umande uangukavyo juu ya nchi. Hatutamwachia hata mmoja aliye hai kati ya watu wake wala yeye mwenyewe.
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
Ikiwa ataingia ndani ya mji kisha Israeli wote tutaleta kamba juu ya mji huo na kuukokotea mtoni, hata kusionekane hata jiwe moja dogo lililosalia.”
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
Kisha Absalomu na watu wa Israeli wakasema, “Shauri la Hushai Mwarki ni jema kuliko lile la Ahithofeli. Yahwe aliwafanya wakatae shauri jema la Ahithofeli ili kumwangamiza 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
Kisha Hushai akawambia Sadoki na Abiathari makuhani, “Ahithofeli alimshauri Absalomu na wazee wa Israeli hivi na hivi, lakini mimi nimeshauri vinginevyo.
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 basi, nendeni haraka na mmtaarifu Daudi kusema, 'Usipige kambi usiku huu katika vivuko vya Araba, lakini kwa namna yoyote vukeni, tofauti na hapo mfalme atamezwa pamoja na watu wote walio pamoja naye.”
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 walikuwako katika chemichemi za En Rogeli. Hivyo kijakazi mmoja alikuwa akienda na kuwapasha habari waliyopaswa kuifahamu, ili kwamba wasihatarishe maisha yao kwa kuonwa wakiingia mjini. Ujumbe ulipofika ndipo huenda na kumtaarifu mfalme Daudi.
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 akawaoni mara akamwambia Absalomu. Hivyo Yonathani na Ahimaasi wakaenda kwa haraka na wakaingia katika nyumba ya mtu mmoja huko Bahurimu, aliyekuwa na kisima katika ua wake wakaingia humo.
19 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ Αραφωθ καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ῥῆμα
Mke wa mtu huyo akachukua kifuniko na kukikufunika kwenye mlango wa kisima kisha akaanika nafaka juu yake, hivyo hakuna aliyejua kwamba Yonathani na Ahimaasi walikuwa kisimani.
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 wakaja kwa mwanamke na kumwuliza, “Ahimaasi na Yonathani wako wapi?” Mwanamke akawaambia, “Wamevuka mto.” Hivyo baada ya kuwatafuta bila kuwaona kurejea 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
Ikawa baada yao kuondoka Yonathani na Ahimaasi wakatoka ndani ya kisima. Wakaenda kumtaarifu mfalme Daudi; wakamwambia, “Inuka na uvuke maji haraka kwa maana Ahithofeli ametoa mashauri haya na haya juu 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
Kisha Daudi akainuka pamoja na watu wote walikuwa pamoja naye, nao wakauvuka Yordani. Hata ilipofika alfajiri hakuna hata mmoja aliyesalia kwa kutouvuka 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
Ikawa Ahithofeli alipoona kwamba ushauri wake haukufuatwa, akapanda punda wake na kuondoka. Akaenda nyumbani katika mji wake mwenyewe, akaweka mambo yake katika utaratibu na kisha akajinyonga. Kwa hiyo akafa na kuzikwa katika kaburi la baba yake.
24 καὶ Δαυιδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναϊμ καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ διέβη τὸν Ιορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ
Ndipo Daudi akaja Mahanaimu. Lakini Absalomu yeye akavuka Yordani yeye pamoja na watu wote wa Israeli waliokuwa pamoja naye.
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. Naye huyo Amasa alikuwa mwana wa Yetheri Mwishmaeli, aliyekuwa amelala na Abigaili, aliyekuwa binti Nahashi na dada wa Seruya, mamaye Yoabu.
26 καὶ παρενέβαλεν πᾶς Ισραηλ καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλααδ
Kisha Israeli na Absalomu wakapiga kambi katika 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
Ikawa wakati Daudi alipokuwa amekuja Mahanaimu, huyo Shobi mwana wa Nahashi kutoka Raba ya Waamoni na Makiri mwana wa Amieli wa kutoka Lo Debari, na Berzilai Mgileadi wa 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 magodoro na mabulangeti, mabakuri na vyungu, na ngano, unga wa shayiri, nafaka zilizokaangwa, maharage, dengu,
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, siagi, kondoo na samli, ili kwamba Daudi na watu waliokuwa pamoja naye waweze kula. Kwani walisema, “Watu wana njaa, wamechoka na wana kiu huko nyikani.”
