2 Samwiri 21
1 Awo mu mirembe gya Dawudi ne waba enjala okumala emyaka esatu, Dawudi ne yeeyongera nnyo okunoonya Mukama. Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Ennyumba ya Sawulo ejjudde omusaayi, kubanga yatta Abagibyoni.”
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Kabaka n’akuŋŋaanya Abagibyoni n’ayogera gye bali. (Abagibyoni tebaali Bayisirayiri naye baali bakaawonawo ab’oku baana b’Abamoli. Abayisirayiri baali babalayiridde obutabakola kabi, naye Sawulo olw’obuggya bwe yalina n’agezaako okubazikiriza ku lwa Isirayiri ne Yuda.)
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah: )
3 Dawudi n’abuuza Abagibyoni nti, “Mbakolere ki? Nnaabatangirira ntya, mmwe okuwa Isirayiri, obusika bwa Mukama omukisa?”
and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
4 Abagibyoni ne bamuddamu nti, “Kye twetaaga okuva eri Sawulo oba ennyumba ye, si kigambo kya ffeeza oba zaabu, so tetulina buyinza kutta muntu yenna mu Isirayiri.” Dawudi n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki kye mwagala mbakolere?”
And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
5 Ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Ku lw’omusajja eyatuyigganyanga n’ayagala okutuuzikiriza, ne tubulwako ne we tubeera mu Isirayiri,
And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 tuwe musanvu ku batabani be tubatte tubaanike mu maaso ga Mukama e Gibea ekya Sawulo, omulonde wa Mukama.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Ndibabawa.”
let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD; And the king said, I will give them.
7 Kabaka n’alekawo Mefibosesi mutabani wa Yonasaani, mutabani wa Sawulo.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Naye kabaka n’addira Alumoni ne Mefibosesi batabani ba Lizupa muwala wa Aya bombi be yazaalira Sawulo, ne batabani ba Mikali muwala wa Sawulo be yazaalira Abuliyeri mutabani wa Baluzirayi Omumekolasi Sawulo be yalabiriranga bataano, n’abawaayo.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 N’abawaayo eri Abagibyoni, ne babatta ne babaanika ku lusozi mu maaso ga Mukama. Bonna omusanvu ne battibwa mu nnaku ezaasooka ez’amakungula nga batandika amakungula ga sayiri.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell [all] seven together: and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Lizupa muwala wa Aya n’addira ebibukutu, n’abyaliira ku lwazi, okuva ku ntandikwa ey’amakungula okutuusa enkuba lwe yatonnya okuva mu ggulu, n’ataganya nnyonyi za mu bbanga newaakubadde ensolo enkambwe okulya emirambo gyabwe emisana oba ekiro.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Dawudi bwe yategeezebwa, Lizupa omuzaana wa Sawulo, muwala wa Aya, kye yakola,
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 n’agenda, n’aggya amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani ku bantu ab’e Yabesugireyaadi, Abafirisuuti gye baagawanika, ku lunaku kwe battira Sawulo e Girubowa, abaali bagatutte mu bubba mu kifo ekigazi eky’abantu bonna e Besusani.
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa:
13 Dawudi n’aggyayo amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani, n’agakuŋŋaanya n’amagumba g’abo abattibwa ne baanikibwa.
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Ne baziika amagumba ga Sawulo n’aga mutabani we Yonasaani mu ntaana ya Kiisi kitaawe wa Sawulo, e Zeera mu nsi ya Benyamini, ne bakola byonna kabaka bye yalagira. Oluvannyuma Katonda n’addamu okusaba kw’ensi.
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 Ne waba nate olutalo wakati w’Abafirisuuti n’Abayisirayiri. Dawudi n’aserengeta n’abasajja be okulwana n’Abafirisuuti, n’akoowa nnyo.
And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 Awo Isubibenobu omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja agawanvu yalina effumu ng’obuzito bw’omutwe gw’alyo kilo ssatu n’ekitundu ng’alina n’ekitala ekiggya, n’ayogera nti agenda okutta Dawudi.
and Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
17 Naye Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’adduukirira Dawudi, n’alumba Omufirisuuti, n’amutta. Awo abasajja ba Dawudi ne bamulayirira nti, “Tokyatabaala naffe ettaala ya Isirayiri ereme okuzikira.”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 Bwe waayitawo ebbanga ne wabaawo olutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti e Gobu. Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Safu omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja gali agawanvu.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
19 Ne wabaawo nate olutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti e Gobu, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri Omubesirekemu n’atta muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Ne waba olutalo olulala e Gaasi, ne wabaayo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyalina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono n’ebigere mukaaga ku buli kigere, byonna awamu abiri mu bina. Era naye yali muzzukulu w’agasajja gali agawanvu ennyo.
And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 Bwe yasoomooza Isirayiri, Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeya, muganda wa Dawudi, n’amutta.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei David’s brother slew him.
22 Abo abana baali bazzukulu b’agasajja gali agawanvu ennyo mu Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mukono gwa Dawudi ne basajja be.
These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
