2 Samwiri 19

1 Yowaabu n’ategeezebwa nti, “Kabaka akaaba era akungubagira Abusaalomu.”

Ankyɛre na nkra duruu Yoab nkyɛn sɛ ɔhene no resu, redi awerɛhoɔ wɔ Absalom ho.

2 Ku lunaku olwo obuwanguzi ne bufuuka okukungubaga eri abantu bonna, kubanga baawulira nti, “Kabaka anakuwadde olwa mutabani we.”

Ɛberɛ a akodɔm no tee ɔhene no awerɛhoɔ a ɔredi wɔ ne ba no ho no, nkonimdie mu anigyeɛ a na wɔwɔ mu saa da no danee awerɛhoɔ.

3 Abantu ne bebbirira ne bayingira mu kibuga, ng’abantu abakwatiddwa ensonyi bwe bafaanana nga badduse mu lutalo.

Wɔwiaa wɔn ho kɔɔ kuro no mu sɛdeɛ wɔn a wɔadi nkoguo de aniwuo dwane firi ɔko mu.

4 Kabaka n’abikka amaaso ge n’akaaba n’eddoboozi ddene nti, “Mutabani wange Abusaalomu! Woowe Abusaalomu mutabani wange!”

Ɔhene de ne nsa kataa nʼanim, kɔɔ so twaa adwo sɛ, “Ao, me ba Absalom! Ao, Absalom, me ba, me ba!”

5 Awo Yowaabu n’alaga mu nnyumba kabaka gye yali n’amugamba nti, “Leero oswazizza abaweereza bo, abawonyezza obulamu bwo, n’obulamu bwa batabani bo ne bawala bo, n’obulamu bwa bakyala bo n’abazaana bo.

Na Yoab kɔɔ ɔhene no dan mu kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ yɛagye wo, ne wo mmammarima, ne wo mmammaa, ne wo yerenom, ne wo mpenafoɔ nkwa. Nanso, woreyɛ yei de gu yɛn anim ase te sɛ deɛ yɛayɛ bɔne bi.

6 Oyagala abakukyawa ate n’okyawa abakwagala. Leero okikakasizza ng’abaduumizi n’abaweereza si kintu gy’oli. Era kindabikira nga singa Abusaalomu abadde mulamu, ffe ffenna nga tufudde leero, wandisanyuse.

Wodɔ wʼatamfoɔ, na wotan wʼadɔfoɔ. Woada no adi ɛnnɛ sɛ, yɛnsɛ hwee mma wo. Sɛ Absalom te ase, na yɛn nyinaa awuwu a, anka wopɛ no saa.

7 Kale nno golokoka ogende ogumye emyoyo gy’abaweereza bo, kubanga nkulayirira eri Mukama, nga bwe wataabeewo musajja n’omu anaasigala naawe ekiro kya leero. Ekyo kye kirisingako obubi okusinga obubi bwonna bwe wali olabye okuva mu buto bwo.”

Afei, firi kɔ seesei, na kɔma akodɔm no amo, na mebɔ Awurade din, ka ntam sɛ, sɛ woanyɛ saa a, wɔn mu baako koraa nka ha anadwo yi. Na ɛbɛma woagyigya asene kane no.”

8 Awo kabaka n’agolokoka, n’addira entebe ye n’agiteeka mu mulyango ogwa wankaaki, bonna ne bajja gy’ali. Mu kiseera ekyo Abayisirayiri baali baddukidde buli muntu ewuwe.

Na ɔhene no firii adi kɔtenaa kuro no abɔntenpono no ano. Na asɛm no trɛɛ kuro no mu nyinaa sɛ ɔwɔ hɔ no, obiara kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na Israelfoɔ a wɔtaa Absalom akyi no nyinaa adwane kɔ wɔn afie mu.

9 Abantu bonna mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri baali bakaayana nga boogera nti, “Kabaka yatuwonya mu mukono gw’abalabe baffe, n’atuwonya ne mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti, kaakano adduse Abusaalomu n’ava mu nsi.

Na Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu, na wɔredi abooboo, gye akyinnyeɛ. Na nnipa no reka sɛ, “Ɔhene no gyee yɛn firii atamfoɔ a wɔyɛ Filistifoɔ nsam, nanso Absalom taa no so, pamoo no firii ɔman no mu.

10 Naye Abusaalomu gwe twalonda okutufuga afiiridde mu lutalo. Kaakano kiki ekitulobera okukomyawo kabaka?”

Na seesei Absalom a yɛsraa no sɛ ɔmmɛdi yɛn so ɔhene no nso awu. Momma yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ Dawid na ɔnsane mmra mmɛdi yɛn so.”

11 Awo kabaka Dawudi n’atumira Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona nti, “Mubuuze abakadde ba Yuda nti, ‘Lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka mu lubiri lwe, ebigambo nga byatuuse dda ku kabaka okuva mu Isirayiri yenna?

Na ɔhene Dawid somaa asɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar, ma wɔkɔbisaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mo deɛ, mompɛ sɛ mode ɔhene ahennie bɛsane ama no? Na mate sɛ Israel nyinaa ayɛ krado, na mo nko ara na motwentwɛn mo nan ase.

12 Mmwe muli baganda bange, mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange, naye lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka?’

Moyɛ mʼabusuafoɔ, mʼabusuakuo, mʼankasa me honam ne me mogya. Na ɛno enti, adɛn enti na motwa toɔ wɔ wɔn a wɔpene sɛ mɛsane aba no mu?”

13 Ate mugambe ne Amasa nti, ‘Toli mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange? Katonda ankole bw’atyo n’okukirawo, bw’otobeere muduumizi wa ggye lyange mu kifo kya Yowaabu okuva ne kaakano.’”

Dawid ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Amasa sɛ, “Sɛ woyɛ me wɔfaase yi, sɛ manyɛ wo ɔsahene ansi Yoab ananmu a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no nwononwono.”

14 N’awamba emitima gy’abantu bonna aba Yuda ne baba omuntu omu, ne baweereza obubaka eri kabaka nti, “Mukomeewo, ggwe n’abaweereza bo bonna.”

Afei, Amasa korɔkorɔɔ Yuda ntuanofoɔ nyinaa, ma wɔtiee no sɛ nnipa korɔ. Wɔde saa asɛm yi kɔtoo ɔhene anim sɛ, “Wo ne wɔn a wɔne wo wɔ hɔ no nyinaa mmra yɛn nkyɛn.”

15 Awo kabaka n’addayo n’atuuka ku Yoludaani. Abantu ba Yuda ne bajja e Girugaali okusisinkana kabaka, n’okumusomosa Yoludaani.

Na ɔhene no de nʼani kyerɛɛ Yerusalem. Ɔduruu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, Yudafoɔ bɛhyiaa no sɛ wɔde no retwa asuo no.

16 Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera Omubenyamini ow’e Bakulimu n’aserengeta mangu n’abasajja ba Yuda okusisinkana kabaka Dawudi.

Gera a ɔyɛ Benyaminni a ɔfiri Bahurim babarima Simei ne Yuda mmarima yɛɛ ntɛm kɔhyiaa ɔhene Dawid.

17 Yagenda n’Ababenyamini lukumi, ne Ziba omuddu w’ennyumba ya Sawulo ne batabani be kkumi na bataano n’abaweereza be amakumi abiri. Ne banguwa okulaga ku Yoludaani kabaka gye yali.

Ɔrekɔ no, na Benyaminfoɔ apem ka ne ho a, na Siba a na ɔyɛ Saulo fidua mu soodoni, ne ne mmammarima dunum ne nʼasomfoɔ aduonu ka ho. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm dii ɔhene no ɛkan kɔduruu Yordan hɔ.

18 Ne basomosa ennyumba ya Dawudi, era ne bakola ng’okusiima kwe bwe kwali. Awo Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera n’asomoka Yoludaani, n’agwa bugazi mu maaso ga kabaka,

Wɔtwa kɔɔ konkɔnoa kɔfaa ɔhene fiefoɔ de wɔn twaa asuo no, na wɔboaa wɔn wɔ ɛkwan biara a wɔbɛtumi so. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene no rebɛtwa asuo no, Gera babarima Simei kɔhwee nʼanim.

19 n’amwegayirira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange ansonyiwe, aleme okujjukira ebisobyo bye nakola ku lunaku luli, mukama wange kabaka lwe yava mu Yerusaalemi. Kabaka aleme okukijjukira.

Ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, “Me wura ɔhene, fa me bɔne kyɛ me. Nkae amumuyɛsɛm a meyɛeɛ ɛberɛ a wofirii Yerusalem.

20 Kubanga nze omuweereza wo mmanyi nga nayonoona, naye leero mu nnyumba eya Yusufu nze nsoose okujja okusisinkana mukama wange kabaka.”

Mahunu bɔne a mayɛ, enti na madi ɛkan wɔ Yosef abusua nyinaa mu rebɛkyea wo yi.”

21 Awo Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’ayogera nti, “Lwaki Simeeyi tattibwa olw’okukolimira omulonde wa Mukama?”

Na Seruia babarima Abisai kaa sɛ, “Simei sɛ owuo, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdomee deɛ Awurade asra no no.”

22 Naye Dawudi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiki ekitugatta nze nammwe batabani ba Zeruyiya, mulyoke mufuuke abalabe bange olwa leero? Lwaki omuntu yenna attibwa mu Isirayiri olwa leero, ate nga mmanyi nga nze kabaka wa Isirayiri leero?”

Na Dawid bisaa sɛ, “Mo Seruia mma, ɛdeɛn na me ne mo wɔ yɛ? Ɛnnɛ nnyɛ da a wɔkum obi. Ɛyɛ anigyeɛ da! Masane abɛdi ɔhene wɔ Israel so bio!”

23 Awo kabaka n’agamba Simeeyi nti, “Tojja kufa.” Era kabaka n’amulayirira.

Enti, ɔhene no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Simei sɛ, “Wɔrenkum wo.”

24 Mefibosesi muzzukulu wa Sawulo naye n’aserengeta okusisinkana kabaka; yali tanaabanga bigere bye newaakubadde okumwa ekirevu kye newaakubadde okwoza engoye ze, okuva ku lunaku kabaka lwe yagenderako okutuusa ku lunaku lwe yakomawo emirembe.

Mefiboset a ɔyɛ Saulo nana nso kɔhyiaa ɔhene no bi. Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔhene no kɔeɛ no, na ɔnnwaree ne nan ase, mmubuu ne hweneanonwi so, nsii ne ntadeɛ da, kɔsii sɛ ɔhene baa asomdwoeɛ mu no.

25 Awo bwe yatuuka okuva e Yerusaalemi n’asisinkana kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyakulobera okugenda nange Mefibosesi?”

Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Mefiboset, adɛn enti na wo ne me ankɔ?”

26 N’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, kabaka, okimanyi nga omuweereza wo mulema. Nagamba omuddu wange nti, ‘Ntekerateekera endogoyi, njebagale, ŋŋende ne kabaka,’ naye n’ambuzaabuza, n’abulawo.

Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Nana, me ɔsomfoɔ Siba daadaa me. Meyɛ obubuafo enti, mekaa sɛ, ‘hyehyɛ mʼafunumu ma me, na mentena ne so, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi ne ɔhene akɔ.’

27 Yajja eri mukama wange kabaka n’ayogera ku muddu wo ebya kalebule. Naye mukama wange kabaka ali nga malayika wa Katonda, noolwekyo kola nga bw’osiima.

Siba abɛsɛe me akyerɛ me wura ɔhene sɛ mampɛ sɛ meba. Nanso menim sɛ wote sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ; ne saa enti, yɛ deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ.

28 Ab’ennyumba ya jjajjange bonna baali basaanira kufa bufi mu maaso ga mukama wange kabaka, naye nange n’omala gansaasira n’onzikiriza okuba ku abo abatuula ku mmeeza yo. Kale kiki kye sifunye okuva eri kabaka?”

Biribiara mfata me ne mʼabusuafoɔ sɛ owuo a ɛbɛfiri me wura, ɔhene, nanso, woahyɛ me animuonyam wɔ wɔn a wɔdidi wo ɛpono so no mu. Enti, tumi bɛn na mewɔ sɛ mebisa ɔhene deɛ mehwehwɛ?”

29 Awo kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki weeyongera okweyogerako? Ndagidde kaakano, ggwe ne Ziba mugabane ettaka eryo.”

Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasɛm aware? Mehyɛ mo sɛ, wo ne Siba nkyɛ nsase no mu.”

30 Mefibosesi n’agamba kabaka nti, “Atwale lyonna, kubanga mukama wange kabaka akomyewo mirembe mu bwakabaka bwe.”

Mefiboset ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Ɛdɔɔ me so sɛ me wura ɔhene asane aba efie dwoodwoo yi, ma Siba mfa biribiara.”

31 Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi naye n’aserengeta okuva e Logerimu n’agenda okusomosa kabaka, Yoludaani.

Gileadni Barsilai nso firi Rogelim baa sɛ ɔrebɛboa ama ɔhene atwa Yordan.

32 Baluzirayi yali musajja mukadde nnyo, ng’awezezza emyaka kinaana, era yali agabiridde kabaka ebyokulya we yabeerera e Makanayimu kubanga yali musajja mugagga nnyo.

Na Barsilai abɔ akɔkoraa a wadi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe, na ɔyɛ ɔdefoɔ kɛseɛ. Ɔno na ɔmaa ɔhene biribi diiɛ ɛberɛ a na ɔte Mahanaim no.

33 Awo kabaka n’agamba Baluzirayi nti, “Somoka nange, tugende ffenna e Yerusaalemi, n’akulabiriranga.”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Barsilai sɛ, “Wo ne me ntwa, na wo ne me nkɔtena Yerusalem, na mɛhwɛ wo.”

34 Naye Baluzirayi n’addamu kabaka nti, “Nnina ennaku meka okuba omulamu, ndyoke ŋŋende ne kabaka e Yerusaalemi?

Nanso, Barsilai buaa ɔhene sɛ, “Aka me nna ahe a ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo kɔtena Yerusalem, Nana?

35 Mpezezza emyaka kinaana, olowooza nkyayinza okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi? Olowooza nga omuddu wo akyayinza okutegeera ky’alya ne ky’anywa? Nkyayinza okuwuliriza amaloboozi g’abasajja abayimba n’abakyala abayimbi? Lwaki nzitoowerera mukama wange kabaka?

Madi mfirinhyia aduɔwɔtwe, na biribiara nyɛ me akɔnnɔ. Aduane ne nsã nyɛ me dɛ. Nnwontofoɔ nne so, merente na adesoa nko ara na mɛyɛ ama Nana.

36 Omuweereza wo anasomosa busomosa kabaka, Yoludaani, naye nga siraba kiki enkimpeesa empeera eyenkana awo.

Animuonyam a mepɛ ara ne sɛ me ne Nana bɛtwa asuo no.

37 Nkwegayiridde, kkiriza omuddu wo addeyo, nfiire mu kibuga kyange okumpi n’ebiggya bya kitange ne mmange. Naye omuddu wo Kimamu wuuyo. Leka asomoke ne mukama wange kabaka, onoomukolera byonna nga bw’onoosiima.”

Ma wo ɔsomfoɔ nsane nʼakyi, sɛdeɛ mɛwu wɔ me ara me kurom faako a wɔsiee mʼawofoɔ. Na me babarima Kimham nie. Ma ɔne me wura ɔhene nkɔ na ade pa biara a wopɛ no, yɛ ma no.”

38 Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Kale Kimamu anaasomoka nange, era ndimukolera nga bw’olisiima; ne kyonna ky’onooyagala n’akikukolera.”

Ɔhene no gye too mu kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, Kimham ne me bɛkɔ, na deɛ anka mɛyɛ ama woɔ no, mɛyɛ ama no.”

39 Awo abantu bonna ne basomoka Yoludaani, kabaka n’asomoka nabo. Kabaka n’anywegera Baluzirayi n’amusabira omukisa, n’addayo ewuwe.

Enti, nnipa no nyinaa ne ɔhene no twaa Yordan. Ɔhene no yɛɛ Barsilai atuu, hyiraa no. Na Barsilai sane nʼakyi kɔɔ ne kurom.

40 Kabaka n’agenda e Girugaali ne Kimamu n’agenda naye; abantu bonna aba Yuda, n’ekimu kyakubiri ku bantu ba Isirayiri ne bawerekera kabaka.

Ɔhene faa Kimham kaa ne ho kɔɔ Gilgal. Yuda akodɔm nyinaa ne Israel akodɔm no mu fa de ɔhene twaa asuo no.

41 Oluvannyuma lwe bbanga ttono, abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bagenda eri kabaka, ne bagamba kabaka nti, “Lwaki baganda baffe, abasajja aba Yuda, babba kabaka, ne bamutwala ye n’ennyumba ye, ne bamusomosa Yoludaani n’abasajja be?”

Nanso, Israel mmarima nyinaa bɛnwiinwii kyerɛɛ ɔhene sɛ, “Adɛn enti na yɛn nuanom Yuda mmarima awia wo kɔ, na wɔde Ɔhene ne ne fiefoɔ ne Dawid mmarima nyinaa a wɔka ne ho no akɔtwa Yordan aba?”

42 Abasajja bonna aba Yuda ne baddamu abasajja ba Isirayiri nti, “Ekyo twakikola kubanga tuli ba musaayi gumu naye. Kiki ekibatabudde mu nsonga eyo? Tulina bye tulidde ku bya kabaka? Oba mulowooza nga tulina ebirabo bye tugabanye?”

Yuda mmarima nyinaa buaa Israel mmarima no sɛ, “Yɛyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhene no yɛ yɛn busuani pɛɛ. Adɛn enti na mo bo afu saa asɛm yi ho? Yɛannye no hwee na ɔno nso amma yɛn aduane anaa akyɛdeɛ biara nso.”

43 Awo abasajja ba Isirayiri ne baddamu abasajja ba Yuda nti, “Okusooka byonna, obwakabaka tubulinamu emigabo kkumi. N’ekyokubiri, Dawudi wa ku luganda lwaffe n’okusinga mmwe. Kale lwaki mwatunyooma? Si ffe twasooka okwogera ku ky’okukomyawo kabaka waffe?” Naye ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Yuda ne biba bisongovu nnyo n’okusinga ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Isirayiri.

Na Israel mmarima buaa Yuda mmarima no sɛ, “Yɛwɔ mmusuakuo edu wɔ Israel na ɛno enti yɛwɔ ɔhene no mu kyɛfa edu. Na adɛn enti na mobu yɛn abomfiaa? Ɛnyɛ yɛn na yɛdii ɛkan kaa sɛ, wɔmfa yɛn ɔhene nsane mmra?” Na Yuda mmarima no ano yɛɛ den sene Israel mmarima no.
