1 UDavida wasebala abantu ababelaye, wabeka phezu kwabo izinduna zezinkulungwane lenduna zamakhulu.
Daudi nochano joma ne ni kode kendo noyieronigi jotend lweny mag alufe to gi mag miche.
2 UDavida wasethuma ingxenye yesithathu yabantu ngaphansi kwesandla sikaJowabi, lengxenye yesithathu ngaphansi kwesandla sikaAbishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, lengxenye yesithathu ngaphansi kwesandla sikaIthayi umGiti. Inkosi yasisithi ebantwini: Lami ngizaphuma lokuphuma kanye lani.
Daudi nooro migepe adek mag jolweny: mokwongo notelne gi Joab, mar ariyo notelne gi Abishai ma owadgi Joab wuod Zeruya, mar adek notelne gi Itai ja-Giti. To ruoth nowachone migepego niya, “An bende nyaka adhi kodu.”
3 Kodwa abantu bathi: Kawuyikuphuma. Ngoba uba sibaleka lokubaleka, kabayikusinaka; kumbe uba kusifa ingxenye yethu, kabayikuba landaba lathi. Kanti khathesi wena ulingana lenkulungwane ezilitshumi zethu; ngakho-ke kungcono ukuthi ube lusizo lwethu usemzini.
To jogo nowachone niya, “In ok inyal dhi kodwa, nikech ka ochuno ni nyaka waringi, to ok gibi dewowa. Kata ka nuswa otho to ok gidhi dewo nikech in iromri gi ji alufu apar kuomwa. Omiyo ber ka in idongʼ mondo ikonywa gie dala maduongʼ ka.”
4 Inkosi yasisithi kibo: Lokho okulungileyo emehlweni enu ngizakwenza. Inkosi yasisima eceleni kwesango; bonke abantu basebephuma ngamakhulu langezinkulungwane.
Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Abiro timo gima uneno ni bernu.” Omiyo ruoth nochungʼ but rangach sa ma ne oganda lweny duto ne wuok e migepegi mag miche gi mag alufe.
5 Inkosi yasibalaya oJowabi loAbishayi loIthayi, isithi: Liliphathe kahle ijaha, uAbisalomu, ngenxa yami. Njalo bonke abantu bezwa lapho inkosi ilaya zonke izinduna indaba kaAbisalomu.
Ruoth nochiko Joab gi Abishai kod Itai niya, “Beduru mangʼwon ne wuoda Abisalom nikech an.” Oganda duto mag jolweny nowinjo ka ruoth chiko jotelo ni kik gihiny Abisalom.
6 Abantu basebephumela egangeni ukuyakulwa bemelene loIsrayeli; njalo impi yayiseguswini lakoEfrayimi.
Jolweny nowuok modhi e paw lweny mondo giked gi Israel, kendo lweny nogore e bungu mar Efraim.
7 Abantu bakoIsrayeli basebetshaywa lapho phambi kwenceku zikaDavida, kwasekusiba khona ukubulala okukhulu ngalolosuku - abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili.
Jolwenj mag Daudi noloyo jo-Israel kanyo, kendo ji mane otho ne ngʼeny maloyo ji alufu piero ariyo.
8 Ngoba impi yahlakazeka khona ebusweni belizwe lonke, njalo igusu ladla abantu abanengi ngalolosuku okwedlula labo inkemba eyabadlayo.
Lweny nolandore mokwako piny, kendo joma notho chiengʼno e bungu ne ngʼeny moloyo joma noneg gi ligangla.
9 UAbisalomu wasehlangana lenceku zikaDavida. Njalo uAbisalomu wayegade imbongolo; kwathi imbongolo ifika ngaphansi kwengatsha ezihlangeneyo zesihlahla se-okhi elikhulu, ikhanda lakhe laselibambelela esihlahleni se-okhi; waselenga phakathi kwamazulu lomhlaba, njalo imbongolo engaphansi kwakhe yedlula.
Koro Abisalom nopo koromo gi jolwenj Daudi koidho pundane. To kane oyudo kanyna kadho e bwo yiend ober man-gi tipo malach, wi Abisalom nomoko e bad yadhno, mi nodongʼ koliero e kor yamo, ka kanyna mane oidho to ne dhiyo nyime gi wuoth.
10 Umuntu othile wasebona, watshela uJowabi wathi: Khangela, ngibone uAbisalomu elenga esihlahleni se-okhi.
Kane achiel kuom jogo noneno ma, nonyiso Joab niya, “Aneno Abisalom koliero e bad yiend ober.”
11 UJowabi wasesithi kulowomuntu omtshelayo: Khangela-ke, umbonile, kungani-ke ungamtshayelanga emhlabathini khonapho? Bengizakunika inhlamvu ezilitshumi zesiliva lebhanti elilodwa.
Joab nowacho ni ngʼat mane onyise wachno niya, “Angʼo! Inene? Angʼo ma nomoni chwowe molwar piny kanyo? To damiyi shekel apar mag fedha gi okanda mar jolweny.”
12 Kodwa lowomuntu wathi kuJowabi: Loba bengingemukela ezandleni zami inhlamvu eziyinkulungwane zesiliva, bengingayikwelulela isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngoba ezindlebeni zethu inkosi yakulaya wena loAbishayi loIthayi isithi: Nanzelelani, loba ngubani, angathinti ijaha uAbisalomu.
To ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Kata dine unyalo pimo shekel alufu achiel moket e lweta, anto ok datingʼ lweta mondo aket kuom wuod ruoth. Ne wawinjo gi itwa ka ruoth chiko in gi Abishai kod Itai ni, ‘Rituru wuoda Abisalom nikech an.’
13 Uba bengenze inkohliso ngempilo yami, ngoba kakulalutho olucatshela inkosi, lawe ubuzazimisa umelene lami.
To ka dine atim mano, to dine aketo ngimana e chandruok nikech onge gima opondo ne ruoth bende dine ok ikonya.”
14 UJowabi wasesithi: Kangiyikulibala ngokunjalo lawe. Wasethatha imikhonto emithathu esandleni sakhe, wamgwaza uAbisalomu enhliziyweni esaphila, phakathi kwesihlahla se-okhi.
Joab nowacho niya, “Anto ok abi rito kamano.” Ka Abisalom ne pod oliero e bad yiend ober kangima, nokawo tonge adek e lwete mochwoyo dho chuny Abisalom.
15 Njalo amajaha alitshumi ayethwala izikhali zikaJowabi, amzingelezela amtshaya uAbisalomu ambulala.
Kendo ji apar matingʼo gige lweny mag Joab nolworo Abisalom, negigoye, ma ginege.
16 UJowabi wasevuthela uphondo, abantu basebebuya ekuxotshaneni loIsrayeli, ngoba uJowabi wabamisa abantu.
Eka Joab nogoyo turumbete mi jolweny noweyo lawo jo-Israel nikech Joab nokwerogi.
17 Basebemthatha uAbisalomu, bamphosela emgodini omkhulu eguswini, babeka phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu kakhulu yamatshe; uIsrayeli wonke wasebaleka, ngulowo lalowo waya ethenteni lakhe.
Negikawo Abisalom ma giwito e bugo maduongʼ manie bungu, mi gibiwo kite madongo dongo kuome. E kindeno jo-Israel duto noringo modhi e miechgi.
18 UAbisalomu esaphila wayethethe wazimisela insika esesigodini senkosi, ngoba wathi: Angilandodana yokwenza ukuthi ibizo lami likhunjulwe. Wabiza leyonsika ngebizo lakhe. Yabizwa ngokuthi, isikhumbuzo sikaAbisalomu, kuze kube lamuhla.
Ka Abisalom ne pod ngima nokawo siro mochungo e Holo mar Ruoth kaka rapar mare owuon nimar noparo niya, “Aonge wuowi manyalo tingʼo wiya malo kata ma dichaka.” Nochako sirono nyinge owuon, mi oluonge ni Rapar mar Abisalom nyaka chil kawuono.
19 UAhimahazi indodana kaZadoki wasesithi: Ake ngigijime, ngiyibikele inkosi ukuthi iNkosi iyiphindisele esandleni sezitha zayo.
Koro Ahimaz wuod Zadok nowacho niya, “We aring ater wachni ne ruoth ni Jehova Nyasaye oserese e lwet jowasike.”
20 Kodwa uJowabi wathi kuye: Kawusumbiki wendaba lamuhla, kodwa uzazibika izindaba ngolunye usuku; lamuhla kawuyikubika izindaba, ngenxa yokuthi indodana yenkosi ifile.
Joab nowachone niya, “In ok niter wach kawuono. Inyalo mana tero wach chiengʼ machielo, nikech wuod ruoth otho.”
21 UJowabi wasesithi kumKhushi: Hamba uyebikela inkosi okubonileyo. UmKhushi wamkhothamela uJowabi, wagijima.
Eka Joab nowachone ja-Kush niya, “Dhiyo mondo inyis ruoth gima ineno.” Ja-Kush nokulore piny e nyim Joab bangʼe noringo modhi.
22 UAhimahazi indodana kaZadoki wabuya wasephinda wathi kuJowabi: Loba kunjani, ake ngigijime lami ngimlandele umKhushi. Kodwa uJowabi wathi: Uzagijimelani, mntanami, lokhu ungelambiko ongawuletha?
Ahimaz wuod Zadok nochako wacho ne Joab niya, “Kata bed ni angʼo matimore, to yiena alaw ja-Kush.” To Joab nodwoke niya, “Wuoda, angʼo momiyo idwaro dhi? Ionge gi wach maber manyalo keloni mich.”
23 Kodwa loba kunjani, kangigijime. Wasesithi kuye: Gijima. Wasegijima uAhimahazi ngendlela yemagcekeni, wamdlula umKhushi.
En to nowacho niya, “Kata angʼo matimore, to nyaka aring adhi.” Omiyo Joab nowachone niya, “Ringi idhi.” Eka Ahimaz noringo odhi koluwo yor pap moyombo ja-Kush.
24 UDavida wayehlezi-ke phakathi kwamasango womabili; umlindi wasesiya ephahleni lwesango emdulini, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, umuntu egijima yedwa.
Kane oyudo Daudi obet e kind rangach maiye gi ma oko, jarito noidho wi dhoranga ohinga mar ngʼicho. Kane ongʼiyo oko, noneno ngʼato karingo kende.
25 Umlindi wasememeza watshela inkosi. Yasisithi inkosi: Uba eyedwa ulombiko emlonyeni wakhe. Wasehamba weza esondela.
Jarito noluongo ruoth monyise. To ruoth nowacho niya, “Ka en kende to nyaka bed ni en gi wach maber.” Kendo ngʼatno nomedo sudo machiegni koringo.
26 Umlindi wasebona omunye umuntu egijima; umlindi wabiza umlindisango wathi: Khangela, omunye umuntu ugijima yedwa. Inkosi yasisithi: Laye lo uletha izindaba.
Eka jarito noneno ngʼat machielo karingo, kendo noluongo jarit dhorangach mowachone niya, “Ne ngʼat machielo bende ringo biro ka en kende!” To ruoth nowacho niya, “En bende nyaka bed ni okelo wach maber.”
27 Umlindi wasesithi: Ngibona ukugijima kowokuqala kunjengokugijima kukaAhimahazi indodana kaZadoki. Inkosi yasisithi: Lo ngumuntu olungileyo, uza lendaba ezinhle.
Jarito nowacho niya, “Nenorena ni ngʼat mokwongo ringo ka Ahimaz wuod Zadok.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “En ngʼat maber. Obiro gi wach maber.”
28 UAhimahazi wasememeza wathi enkosini: Ukuthula! Wasekhothamela inkosi ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, enikele abantu abaphakamisa isandla sabo enkosini yami, inkosi.
Eka Ahimaz nowuoyo gi ruoth kowacho niya, “Gik moko dhi maber!” Nopodho piny auma e nyim ruoth ka wangʼe ochomo piny mi owacho niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi! Osechiwo e lwet ruodha ma en ruoth jogo mosepiem kode.”
29 Inkosi yasisithi: Kuhle yini ngejaha, ngoAbisalomu? UAhimahazi wasesithi: Ngibone isiphithiphithi esikhulu lapho uJowabi ethuma inceku yenkosi lenceku yakho, kodwa kangazanga ukuthi kuyini.
Ruoth nopenjo niya, “Bende wuowi ma Abisalom ngima?” Ahimaz nodwoke niya, “Ne aneno ka mutni nitie maduongʼ e sa ma Joab ne oro jatich ruoth kod an, jatichni, to ok angʼeyo gima ne timore.”
30 Inkosi yasisithi: Buyela eceleni, ume lapho. Wasebuyela eceleni wema.
To ruoth nowachone niya, “Chungʼ e bathe ka kendo iriti.” Omiyo nosudo bathe mochungʼ kanyo.
31 Khangela-ke, umKhushi wafika, umKhushi wathi: Yemukela imibiko, nkosi yami, nkosi! Ngoba iNkosi ikuphindisele lamuhla esandleni salabo bonke abakuvukelayo.
Eka ja-Kush nochopo mowacho niya, “Ruodha ma en ruoth, winj wach maber! Jehova Nyasaye oseresi kawuononi e lwet joma piem kodi duto.”
32 Inkosi yasisithi kumKhushi: Kuhle yini ngejaha, ngoAbisalomu? UmKhushi wasesithi: Kungathi izitha zenkosi yami, inkosi, labo bonke abakuvukelayo ngobubi bangaba njengalelojaha.
Ruoth nopenjo ja-Kush niya, “Bende wuowi ma Abisalom ngima?” Ja-Kush nodwoko niya, “Mad wasigu mag ruodha ma en ruoth gi ji duto mane ongʼanyo ka dwahinyi obed kaka wuowino.”
33 Yasikhathazeka kakhulu inkosi, yenyukela endlini ephezulu yesango, yakhala inyembezi, isahamba yakhuluma kanje: Ndodana yami Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami, Abisalomu! Kungathi ngabe kufe mina endaweni yakho, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!
Ruoth nobwok motetni. Noidho malo e ot man ewi rangach mi oywak. Noywak kowacho niya, “Yaye wuoda Abisalom, wuoda, wuoda Abisalom! Onego an ema ne atho kari, yaye Abisalom wuoda, wuoda!”
