1 Wafalme 2

1 Daudi alipokaribia kufa, alimwamuru Sulemani mwanae, akisema,

and to present: come day David to/for to die and to command [obj] Solomon son: child his to/for to say

2 “Mimi sasa ninaiendea njia ya dunia yote. Kwa hiyo, uwe imara, na ujionyeshe mwenyewe kama mwanamume. Uzilinde amri za BWANA, Mungu wako ukitembea katika njia zake, utii maaagizo yake, amari zake,

I to go: went in/on/with way: journey all [the] land: country/planet and to strengthen: strengthen and to be to/for man

3 maamuzi yake, na maagizo ya maagano yake, uwe mwamngalifu kufanya yale yaliyoandikwa katika sheria za Musa, ili ufanikiwe katika yote utakayoyafanya, popote kule utakakokuwa,

and to keep: obey [obj] charge LORD God your to/for to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct his to/for to keep: obey statute his commandment his and justice: judgement his and testimony his like/as to write in/on/with instruction Moses because be prudent [obj] all which to make: do and [obj] all which to turn there

4 na BWANA atayatimiza maneno yake aliyosema kuhusu mimi, aliposema, 'kama wanao watajilinda katika tabia zao, wakatembea mbele yangu kwa uaminifu kwa mioyo yao yote na kwa roho zao zote, hawatakoma kuwa na mtu aliyeketi katika kiti cha enzi cha Israeli.

because to arise: establish LORD [obj] word his which to speak: speak upon me to/for to say if to keep: look at son: descendant/people your [obj] way: conduct their to/for to go: walk to/for face: before my in/on/with truth: faithful in/on/with all heart their and in/on/with all soul their to/for to say not to cut: lack to/for you man from upon throne Israel

5 Wewe pia wajua kile Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alichonifanyia, na kile alichowafnyia majemedari wa majeshi y a Israeli, kwa Abina mwana wa Neri, na kwa Amasa mwana wa Yetheri, ambaye alimwua. Alimwaga damu vitani wakati wa amani na kuiweka ile damu kwenye mshipi uliokuwa kiunoni mwake na kwenye vile viatu miguuni mwake.

and also you(m. s.) to know [obj] which to make: do to/for me Joab son: child Zeruiah which to make: do to/for two ruler army Israel to/for Abner son: child Ner and to/for Amasa son: child Jether and to kill them and to set: put blood battle in/on/with peace and to give: put blood battle in/on/with belt his which in/on/with loin his and in/on/with sandal his which in/on/with foot his

6 Mshughulikie Yoabu kwa hekima ambayo umejifunza, lakini usiache mvi zake ziingie kaburini kwa amani. (Sheol h7585)

and to make: do like/as wisdom your and not to go down greyheaded his in/on/with peace hell: Sheol (Sheol h7585)

7 Hata hivyo, uonyeshe utu kwa wana wa Barizilai Mgileadi, na uwaache wawe miongoni mwa wale wanaokula mezani kwako, kwa kuwa walikuja kwangu wakati nilipomkimbia ndugu yangu Absalomu.

and to/for son: child Barzillai [the] Gileadite to make: do kindness and to be in/on/with to eat table your for so to present: come to(wards) me in/on/with to flee I from face: before Absalom brother: male-sibling your

8 Tazama, Shimei mwana wa Gera yuko pamoja na wewe, Wabenjamini wa Bahurimu, walionilaani kwa laana ya fujo siku niliyoenda kwa Mahanaimu. Shimei alishuka kuja kuniona pale Yorodani, na nikamwapia kwa BWANA, nikisema, 'Sitawaua kwa upanga,'

and behold with you Shimei son: child Gera Benjaminite [the] Benjaminite from Bahurim and he/she/it to lighten me curse be sick in/on/with day to go: went I Mahanaim and he/she/it to go down to/for to encounter: meet me [the] Jordan and to swear to/for him in/on/with LORD to/for to say if: surely no to die you in/on/with sword

9 Kwa hiyo sasa usimwache aiepuke adhabu. Wewe ni mwenye hekima, na utajua jinsi itakavyokupasa kumtendea. Utakileta hicho kichwa chenye mvi chini kaburini.” (Sheol h7585)

and now not to clear him for man wise you(m. s.) and to know [obj] which to make: do to/for him and to go down [obj] greyheaded his in/on/with blood hell: Sheol (Sheol h7585)

10 Ndipo Daudi alipolala na mababu zake na alizikwa kwenye mji wa Daudi.

and to lie down: be dead David with father his and to bury in/on/with city David

11 Siku ambazo Daudi alitwala Israeli zilikuwani miaka arobaini. Alikuwa ametawala kwa miaka saba kule Hebroni na kwa miaka thelethini na tatu kule Yerusalemu.

and [the] day which to reign David upon Israel forty year in/on/with Hebron to reign seven year and in/on/with Jerusalem to reign thirty and three year

12 Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha baba yake Daudi, na utawala wake ulikuwa imara.

and Solomon to dwell upon throne David father his and to establish: establish royalty his much

13 Kisha Adoniya mwana wa Hagathi alikuja kwa Bathisheba mama wa Sulemani., Naye akamwuliza, “Je, unakuja kwa amani?” Naye akajiibu. “kwa amani.”

and to come (in): come Adonijah son: child Haggith to(wards) Bathsheba Bathsheba mother Solomon and to say peace to come (in): come you and to say peace

14 Kisha akasema, “Nina jambo la kukuambia.” Naye akajibu, “Sema.”

and to say word: speaking to/for me to(wards) you and to say to speak: speak

15 Adoniya amesema, “Unajua kuwa ufalme ulikuwa wangu, na kwamba Israeli yote ilikuwa inanitegemea mimi kuwa mfalme. Hata hivyo, ufalme umegeuzwa na umekuwa wa ndugu yangu, kwani ulikuwa wake toka kwa BWANA.

and to say you(f. s.) to know for to/for me to be [the] kingship and upon me to set: consider all Israel face their to/for to reign and to turn: turn [the] kingship and to be to/for brother: male-sibling my for from LORD to be to/for him

16 Sasa nina ombi moja kwako. Usinikatalie.”Bathisheba akamwambia, “Sema.”

and now petition one I to ask from with you not to return: refuse [obj] face: before my and to say to(wards) him to speak: speak

17 Naye akamwambia, “Tafadhali mwambie mfalme Sulemani, kwa kuwa hatakukatalia, ili kwamba anipatie Abishagi Mshunami awe mke wangu.”

and to say to say please to/for Solomon [the] king for not to return: refuse [obj] face: before your and to give: give to/for me [obj] Abishag [the] Shunammites to/for woman: wife

18 Bathisheba akamwambia, “Vyema sana, nitamwambia mfalme”

and to say Bathsheba Bathsheba pleasant I to speak: speak upon you to(wards) [the] king

19 Kwa hiyo Bathisheba akaenda kumwambia, mfalme Sulemani kwa niaba ya Adoniya. Mfalme akainuka kumlaki na akapiga magoti mbele yake. Kisha akaa kwenye kiti chake cha enzi na kulikuwa na kiti kingine cha enzi kilicholetwa kwa ajili ya mama wa mfalme. Naye akaa mkono wa kuume wa mfalme.

and to come (in): come Bathsheba Bathsheba to(wards) [the] king Solomon to/for to speak: speak to/for him upon Adonijah and to arise: rise [the] king to/for to encounter: meet her and to bow to/for her and to dwell upon throne his and to set: put throne to/for mother [the] king and to dwell to/for right his

20 Ndipo alipomwambia, “Napenda kukuomba ombi moja dogo. Usinikalie.” Mfalme, akamjibu, “Mama omba kwa kuwa sitakukatalia.”

and to say petition one small I to ask from with you not to return: refuse [obj] face: before my and to say to/for her [the] king to ask mother my for not to return: refuse [obj] face: before your

21 Naya akamwambia, “Naomba Abishagi Mshunami apewe Adoniya ndugu yako awe mke wake.”

and to say to give: give(marriage) [obj] Abishag [the] Shunammites to/for Adonijah brother: male-sibling your to/for woman: wife

22 Mfalme Sulemani akamjibu mama yake, “Kwa nini unamwombea Adoniya huyo Abishagi Mshunami? Kwa nini usimwombee ufalme pia, kwa kuwa ni ndugu yangu mkubwa? - au kwa Abiathari kuhani, au Yoabu mwana wa Seruya?”

and to answer [the] king Solomon and to say to/for mother his and to/for what? you(f. s.) to ask [obj] Abishag [the] Shunammites to/for Adonijah and to ask to/for him [obj] [the] kingship for he/she/it brother: male-sibling my [the] great: old from me and to/for him and to/for Abiathar [the] priest and to/for Joab son: child Zeruiah

23 Kisha mfalme Sulemani akaapa kwa BWANA, akisema, “Mungu wangu na anifanyie hivyo, na zaidi pia, kama Adoniya hajayasema haya kinyume na maisha yake.

and to swear [the] king Solomon in/on/with LORD to/for to say thus to make: do to/for me God and thus to add for in/on/with soul: life his to speak: speak Adonijah [obj] [the] word [the] this

24 Sasa basi kama BWANA aishivyo, ambaye ndiye alinifanya mimi kuwepo na kunipa kiti cha enzi cha Daudi baba yangu, na ambaye amenifanyia nyumba kwa ahadi yake, hakika Adoniya lazima auawe leo.”

and now alive LORD which to establish: establish me (and to dwell me *Q(k)*) upon throne David father my and which to make to/for me house: home like/as as which to speak: promise for [the] day to die Adonijah

25 Kwa hiyo mfalme Sulemani akamtuma Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada naye akamkuta Adoniya na kumwua.

and to send: depart [the] king Solomon in/on/with hand: by Benaiah son: child Jehoiada and to fall on in/on/with him and to die

26 Kisha akamwambia Abiathari kuhani, “Nenda kwa Anathothi, kwenye mashamba yako. unastahili kufa, lakini sitakua sasa hivi, kwa sababu ulilbeba sanduku la BWANA mbele ya Daudi baba yangu na kujitabisha kwa namna mbalimbali kama baba yangu alivyopata tabu.”

and to/for Abiathar [the] priest to say [the] king Anathoth to go: went upon land: country your for man death you(m. s.) and in/on/with day: today [the] this not to die you for to lift: bear [obj] ark Lord YHWH/God to/for face: before David father my and for to afflict in/on/with all which to afflict father my

27 Kwa hiyo Sulemani akamfukuza Abiathari asiwe kuhani wa BWANA, ili kwamba atimilize maneno ya BWANA, aliyokuwa amesema juu ya nyumba ya Eli.

and to drive out: drive out Solomon [obj] Abiathar from to be priest to/for LORD to/for to fill [obj] word LORD which to speak: speak upon house: household Eli in/on/with Shiloh

28 Habari hizo zikamfikia Yoabu, Kwani Yoabu alimuunga mkono Adoniya, ingawa hakumuunga mkono Absalomu. Kwa hiyo Yoabu akakimbilia kwenye hema ya BWANA karibu na madhabahu na akabeba pembe za madhabahu.

and [the] tidings to come (in): come till Joab for Joab to stretch after Adonijah and after Absalom not to stretch and to flee Joab to(wards) tent LORD and to strengthen: hold in/on/with horn [the] altar

29 Sulemani alipoambiwa kuwa Yoabu amekimbilia kwenye hema ya BWANA na sasa alikuwa karibu na madhabahu. Ndipo Sulemani alipomtuma Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, akisema, “Nenda, ukamwue.”

and to tell to/for king Solomon for to flee Joab to(wards) tent LORD and behold beside [the] altar and to send: depart Solomon [obj] Benaiah son: child Jehoiada to/for to say to go: went to fall on in/on/with him

30 Kwa hiyo Benaya akaenda kwenye hema ya BWANA na kumwambia, “Mfalme anasema utoke hemani.” Yoabu akamjibu, “Hapana, Nitafia hapa,” Kwa hiyo Benaya akarudi kwa mfalme, akasema, “Yoabu amesema atafia kwenye madhabahu,”

and to come (in): come Benaiah to(wards) tent LORD and to say to(wards) him thus to say [the] king to come out: come and to say not for here to die and to return: return Benaiah [obj] [the] king word to/for to say thus to speak: speak Joab and thus to answer me

31 Naye mfalme akamwambia, “Kafanye kama alivyosema. Muue na ukamzike, ili kwamba uitoe kwangu na kwenye nyumba ya baba yangu damu ambayo Yoabu alimwaga bila sababu.

and to say to/for him [the] king to make: do like/as as which to speak: speak and to fall on in/on/with him and to bury him and to turn aside: remove blood for nothing which to pour: kill Joab from upon me and from upon house: household father my

32 BWANA na amrudishie damu yake kichwani kwake, kwa sababu aliwaua wanaume wawili wasio na hatia na wema kuliko yeye na akawaua kwa upanga, Abineri mwana wa Neri, Jemedari wa Jeshi la Israeli, na Amasa mwana wa Jetheri, jemedari wa jeshi la Yuda, bila baba yangu Daudi kujua.

and to return: return LORD [obj] blood his upon head his which to fall on in/on/with two human righteous and pleasant from him and to kill them in/on/with sword and father my David not to know [obj] Abner son: child Ner ruler army Israel and [obj] Amasa son: child Jether ruler army Judah

33 Kwa hiyo damu yao na imrudie Yoabu kichwani pake na kwenye vichwa vya uzao wake milele na milele. Lakini kwa Daudi na uzao wake, na nyumba yake, na kwenye kiti chake cha enzi, kuwe na amani ya kudumu kutoka kwa BWANA.”

and to return: return blood their in/on/with head Joab and in/on/with head seed: children his to/for forever: enduring and to/for David and to/for seed: children his and to/for house: household his and to/for throne his to be peace till forever: enduring from from with LORD

34 Kisha Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada akaenda akamvamia Yoabu na kumwua. Alizikwa kwenye nyumba yake kule jangwani.

and to ascend: rise Benaiah son: child Jehoiada and to fall on in/on/with him and to die him and to bury in/on/with house: home his in/on/with wilderness

35 Mfalme akamwinua Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada kuwa juu ya jeshi badala yake, na akamweka Sadoki kuhani kwenye nafasi ya Abiatahari.

and to give: put [the] king [obj] Benaiah son: child Jehoiada underneath: instead him upon [the] army and [obj] Zadok [the] priest to give: put [the] king underneath: instead Abiathar

36 Kisha Mfalme akatuma watu kumwita Shimei, na akamwambia, “Kajijengee nyumba kwa ajili yako kule Yerusalemu na ushi huko, na usitoke nje ya Huo mji na kwenda mahali pengine.

and to send: depart [the] king and to call: call to to/for Shimei and to say to/for him to build to/for you house: home in/on/with Jerusalem and to dwell there and not to come out: come from there where? and where?

37 Kwa kuwa siku utakayoenda mahali pengine, na kupita bonde la Kidroni, ujue kwa hakika kuwa utakufa. Damu yako itakuwa juu ya kichwa chako.”

and to be in/on/with day to come out: come you and to pass [obj] torrent: valley Kidron to know to know for to die to die blood your to be in/on/with head your

38 Kwa hiyo Shimei akamwambia mfalme, “Unachosema ni chema. Kama vike mfalme bwana wangu alivyosema, ndivyo ambavyo mtumishi wako atakavyofanya.” Kwa hiyo Shimei akaishi Yerusalemu kwa miaka mingi.

and to say Shimei to/for king pleasant [the] word: speaking like/as as which to speak: speak lord my [the] king so to make: do servant/slave your and to dwell Shimei in/on/with Jerusalem day many

39 Lakiini mwishoni mwa mwaka wa tatu, watumishi wawili wa Shimei wakakimbilia kwa Akishi mwana wa Maaka, mfalme wa Gathi. Kwa hiyo wakamwambia Shimei, wakisema, “Tazama, watumishi wako wameenda Gathi,”

and to be from end three year and to flee two servant/slave to/for Shimei to(wards) Achish son: child Maacah king Gath and to tell to/for Shimei to/for to say behold servant/slave your in/on/with Gath

40 Kisha Shimei akainuka, akapanda punda wake akaenda kwa Akishi huko Gathi kuwatafuta watumishi wake. Akaenda na akawaleta watumishi wake toka Gathi.

and to arise: rise Shimei and to saddle/tie [obj] donkey his and to go: went Gath [to] to(wards) Achish to/for to seek [obj] servant/slave his and to go: went Shimei and to come (in): bring [obj] servant/slave his from Gath

41 Sulemani alipoambiwa kuwa Shimei alikuwa ametoka Yerusalemu kwenda Gathi na amerudi,

and to tell to/for Solomon for to go: went Shimei from Jerusalem Gath and to return: return

42 mfalme akatuma wito kwa Shimei na kumwambia, “Je, sikukuapisha kwa BWANA na kushuhudia kwako, nikisema, 'Tambua kuwa siku utakayotoka kwenda nje na kwenda mahali popote, hakika utakufa'? Na ukaniambia kuwa unachosema ni chema.'

and to send: depart [the] king and to call: call to to/for Shimei and to say to(wards) him not to swear you in/on/with LORD and to testify in/on/with you to/for to say in/on/with day to come out: come you and to go: went where? and where? to know to know for to die to die and to say to(wards) me pleasant [the] word: speaking to hear: obey

43 Kwa nini basi umeshindwa kulinda kiapo chako kwa BWANA na amri niliyokupa?”

and why? not to keep: obey [obj] oath LORD and [obj] [the] commandment which to command upon you

44 Pia mfalme akamwambia Shimei, “Unajua katika moyo wako maovu yote uliyofanya kwa baba yangu Daudi. Kwa hiyo BWANA atakurudishia maovu yako kichwani pako.

and to say [the] king to(wards) Shimei you(m. s.) to know [obj] all [the] distress: harm which to know heart your which to make: do to/for David father my and to return: return LORD [obj] distress: harm your in/on/with head your

45 Lakini Sulemani atabarikiwa na enzi ya Daudi itaimarika mbele ya BWANA milele.”

and [the] king Solomon to bless and throne David to be to establish: establish to/for face: before LORD till forever: enduring

46 Kwa hiyo mfalme akamwamuru Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada kwenda kumwua Shimei. Kwa hiyo ule utawala ulikuwa mwema kwa mkono wa Sulemain.

and to command [the] king [obj] Benaiah son: child Jehoiada and to come out: come and to fall on in/on/with him and to die and [the] kingdom to establish: establish in/on/with hand: power Solomon
