2 Samuel 16
1 Mgbe Devid gafechara elu ugwu ahụ na-agbada nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, Ziba, onye na-elekọta akụ Mefiboshet, guzo na-eche ya. Ọ chị ịnyịnya ibu bu narị ogbe achịcha abụọ, na otu narị ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ na narị ụyọkọ mkpụrụ osisi ndị ọzọ, na karama akpụkpọ buru ibu mmanya juru nʼime ya.
And whanne Dauid hadde passid a litil the cop of the hil, Siba, the child of Mysphobosech, apperide in to his comyng, with tweyne assis, that weren chargid with twei hundrid looues, and with an hundrid bundels of dried grapis, and with an hundrid gobetis of pressid figus, and with twei vessels of wyn.
2 Eze jụrụ Ziba sị, “Gịnị mere i ji bute ihe ndị a?” Ziba zara sị, “Ịnyịnya ibu ndị a bụ nke ndị ụlọeze ga-anọkwasị. Achịcha na mkpụrụ osisi ndị a bụ nke ndị ikom gị ga-eri. Mmanya a bụ nke ndị na-ada mba nʼọzara ga-aṅụ.”
And the kyng seide to Siba, What wolen these thingis to hem silf? And Siba answeride, My lord the kyng, the assis ben to the meyneals of the kyng, that thei sitte; the looues and `figis pressid ben to thi children to ete; forsothe the wyn is, that if ony man faile in deseert, he drynke.
3 Eze jụrụ ya sị, “Ebeekwanụ ka nwa nna gị ukwu nọ?” Ziba zara ya sị, “Ọ nọ na Jerusalem nʼihi na ọ sịrị, ‘Taa ụlọ Izrel ga-enyeghachi m alaeze nna nna m.’”
And the kyng seide, Where is the sone of thi lord? And Siba answeride to the kyng, He dwellide in Jerusalem, `and seide, To dai the Lord of the hows of Israel schal restore to me the rewme of my fadir.
4 Eze gwara Ziba sị ya, “Nʼihi ya, enyela m gị ihe niile Mefiboshet nwere, ha ga-abụkwa nke gị.” Ziba sịrị, “Ka m hụta amara nʼihu eze, bụ onyenwe m.”
And the kyng seide to Siba, Alle thingis that weren of Mysphibosech ben thine. And Siba seide, Y preye, fynde Y grace bifor thee, my lord the kyng.
5 Dịka eze bụ Devid na-abịaru obodo Bahurim, lee, otu nwoke sitere nʼagbụrụ ụlọ Sọl sitere nʼebe ahụ pụta. Ọ bụ Shimei nwa Gera. Ọ na-akọcha mgbe ọ na-apụta ya.
Therfor kyng Dauid cam `til to Bahurym, and lo! a man of the meynee of the hows of Saul, Semey bi name, sone of Gera, yede out fro thennus; he yede forth goynge out, and curside.
6 Ọ chịịrị nkume na-atụ Devid na ndị ozi eze niile. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị agha Izrel na ndị na-eche Devid nche gbara ya gburugburu nʼaka nri na aka ekpe.
And he sente stoonys ayens Dauid, and ayens alle seruauntis of kyng Dauid; forsothe al the puple, and alle fiyteris yeden at the riytside and at the left side of the king.
7 Ma dịka Shimei na-akọcha, ọ sịrị, “Si nʼebe a pụọ, si nʼebe a pụọ, gị ogbu mmadụ, gị onye ọjọọ!
Sotheli Semey spak so, whanne he curside the kyng, Go out, go out, thou man of bloodis, and man of Belial!
8 Onyenwe anyị akwụghachila gị ụgwọ ọbara niile ị wụsiri nʼezinaụlọ Sọl, onye ị nọchiri ọnọdụ ya dịka eze. Onyenwe anyị anapụla gị alaeze ahụ, were ya nye Absalọm nwa gị! Ugbu a, ihe i metara abịala gị ụgwọ, gị ogbu mmadụ.”
The Lord hath yolde to thee al the blood of the hows of Saul, for thou rauyschedist the rewme fro hym; and the Lord yaf the rewme in to the hond of Absolon, thi sone; and lo! thin yuels oppressen thee, for thou art a man of blodis.
9 Abishai, nwa Zeruaya gwara eze okwu sị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka nkịta a nwụrụ anwụ ga-eji na-akọcha onyenwe m bụ eze? Biko, ka m gafee gaa bipụ ya isi.”
Forsothe Abisay, the sone of Saruye, seide to the kyng, Whi cursith this dogge, that schal die, my lord the kyng? Y schal go, and Y schal girde of his heed.
10 Ma eze zara sị, “Gịnị jikọrọ mụ na unu, unu ụmụ ndị ikom Zeruaya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ na-akọcha m nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sị ya ‘Kọchaa Devid,’ onye pụrụ ịjụ ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị mere ị ji na-eme ihe dị otu a?’”
And the kyng seide, Ye sones of Saruye, what is to me and to you? Suffre ye hym, that he curse; for the Lord comaundide to hym, that he schulde curse Dauid; and who is he that dare seie, Whi dide he so?
11 Mgbe ahụ, Devid gwara Abishai na ndị ozi ya okwu sị, “Nwa m nwoke, onye si nʼahụ m na-agbalị ịnapụ m ndụ m. Gịnị ga-eme ka onye Benjamin a ghara ime karịa? Hapụ ya, ya kọchaa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agwala ya ka ọ kọchaa m.
And the kyng seide to Abysay, and to alle hise seruauntis, Lo! my sone, that yede out of my wombe, sekith my lijf; hou myche more now this sone of Gemyny? Suffre ye hym, that he curse bi comaundement of the Lord;
12 Ma eleghị anya, Onyenwe anyị ga-ahụ ọnọdụ ahụhụ m, nyeghachikwa m ngọzị nʼọnọdụ nkọcha ndị a.”
if in hap the Lord biholde my turmentyng, and yelde good to me for this `cursyng of this dai.
13 Ya mere, Devid na ndị ya gakwara nʼihu ije ha nʼụzọ ahụ ma Shimei sokwara ha na-aga nʼakụkụ ugwu ahụ na-akọcha ha. Ọ nọgidekwara na-atụ Devid nkume, na-ekpolikwa aja elu ka ọ na-awụsa ha nʼahụ.
Therfor Dauid yede, and hise felowis, bi the weie with hym; forsothe Semey yede bi the slade of the hil `bi the side ayens hym; and curside, and sente stoonus ayens him, and spreynte erthe.
14 Ya mere, eze na ndị niile so ya gagidere bịaruo nʼakụkụ Jọdan nʼọnọdụ ike ọgwụgwụ. Nʼihi ya, ha nọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ zuo ike.
And so `Dauid the king cam, and al the puple weery with hym, and thei weren refreischid there.
15 Ma Absalọm na ndị Izrel abatalarị Jerusalem. Ahitofel sokwa ya.
Forsothe Absolon, and al the puple of Israel entriden in to Jerusalem, but also Achitofel with hym.
16 Mgbe Hushaị, enyi Devid, onye Akai bịaruru, ọ gara hụ Absalọm sị ya, “Ka eze dị ogologo ndụ, ka eze dị ndụ.”
Sotheli whanne Chusi of Arath, the frend of Dauid, hadde come to Absolon, he spak to Absolon, Heil, kyng! heil, kyng!
17 Absalọm sịrị Hushaị, “Ọ bụ otu a ka i si egosi ịhụnanya i nwere na-ebe enyi gị nọ? Gịnị mere i soghị ya?”
To whom Absolon seide, This is thi grace to thi freend; whi yedist thou not with thi freend?
18 Hushaị zara Absalọm sị, “Mba! Onye ahụ Onyenwe anyị na ọha mmadụ na ndị Izrel niile họpụtara, nke onye ahụ ka m ga-abụ. Ọ bụkwa onye ahụ ka m ga-adịnyere.
And Chusi answeride to Absolon, Nay, for Y shal be seruaunt of hym, whom the Lord hath chose, and al this puple, and al Israel; and Y schal dwelle with him.
19 Ma onye kwanụ ka m kwesiri ijere ozi? Ọ bụghị nwa eze? Ejeere m nna gị ozi, ugbu a anọkwa m jikere ijere gị ozi!”
But that Y seie also this, to whom schal Y serue? whethir not to the sone of the kyng? as Y obeiede to thi fadir, so Y schal obeie to thee.
20 Absalọm tụgharịrị gwa Ahitofel okwu sị, “Gịnị ọzọ ka m ga-eme? Nye anyị ndụmọdụ gị. Gịnị ka anyị kwesiri ime?”
Forsothe Absolon seide to Achitofel, Take ye counsel, what we owen to do.
21 Ahitofel zara, “Ga dinaa ndị iko nwanyị nna gị ndị ahụ ọ hapụrụ ka ha lekọtaa ụlọ. Mgbe ahụ, Izrel niile ga-anụ na ị meela onwe gị ihe na-asọ oyi nʼebe nna gị nọ, aka ndị niile nọnyere gị ga-akwụkwa chịm.”
And Achytofel seide to Absolon, Entre thou to the concubyns of thi fadir, whiche he lefte to kepe the hows; that whanne al Israel herith, that thou hast defoulid thi fadir, the hondis of hem be strengthid with thee.
22 Ya mere, ha manyeere Absalọm ụlọ ikwu nʼelu ụlọ; ọ kpọkwaara ndị iko nwanyị nna ya dinaa ha nʼotu nʼotu, nʼihu ndị Izrel niile.
Therfor thei tildeden Absolon a tabernacle in the soler, and he entride to the concubyns of his fadir bifor al Israel.
23 Nʼoge ahụ, ndụmọdụ ọbụla Ahitofel dụrụ dị ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ozi si nʼọnụ Chineke nʼonwe ya bịa. Ọ bụladị nʼebe Devid nọ, na nʼebe Absalọm nọkwa, otu a ka esi bulie ndụmọdụ ọbụla Ahitofel nyere elu.
Sotheli the counsel of Achitofel, which he yaf in tho daies, was as if a man counselide God; so was al the counsel of Achitofel, bothe whanne he was with Dauid, and whanne he was with Absolon.
