2 Samweli 18
1 Daudi akawahesabu askari waliokuwa pamoja naye na akaweka akida wa elfu na akida wa mia juu yao.
καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Δαυιδ τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους
2 Kisha Daudi akalipeleka jeshi, thelusi moja chini ya Yoabu, thelusi nyingine chini ya Abishai mwana wa Seruya, ndugu wa Yoabu, na thelusi nyingine tena chini ya Itai Mgiti. Mfalme akaliambia jeshi, “kwa hakika mimi mwenyewe pia nitakwenda pamoja nanyi.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ τὸν λαόν τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ιωαβ καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Αβεσσα υἱοῦ Σαρουιας ἀδελφοῦ Ιωαβ καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Εθθι τοῦ Γεθθαίου καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἐξελθὼν ἐξελεύσομαι καί γε ἐγὼ μεθ’ ὑμῶν
3 Lakini watu wakasema, “Wewe usiende vitani, kwani ikiwa tutakimbia hawatatujari sisi, ama nusu yetu wakifa hawatajari. Lakini wewe ni zaidi ya elfu kumi yetu sisi! Kwa hiyo ni afadhari zaidi ukitusaidia ukiwa mjini.”
καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ὅτι ἐὰν φυγῇ φύγωμεν οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνωμεν τὸ ἥμισυ ἡμῶν οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν ὅτι σὺ ὡς ἡμεῖς δέκα χιλιάδες καὶ νῦν ἀγαθὸν ὅτι ἔσῃ ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει βοήθεια τοῦ βοηθεῖν
4 Hivyo mfalme akawajibu, “Nitafanya lolote lionekanalo jema machoni penu.” Mfalme akasimama kati ya lango la mji wakati jeshi lilipoondoka katika mamia na katika maelfu.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεύς ὃ ἐὰν ἀρέσῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ποιήσω καὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνὰ χεῖρα τῆς πύλης καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς ἑκατοντάδας καὶ εἰς χιλιάδας
5 Mfalme akawaagiza Yoabu, Abishai, na Itai kusema, “Mmtendee huyo kijana, Absalomu, kwa upole kwa ajili yangu.” Watu wote wakasikia jinsi mfalme alivyowaagiza maakida kuhusu Absalomu.
καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ιωαβ καὶ τῷ Αβεσσα καὶ τῷ Εθθι λέγων φείσασθέ μοι τοῦ παιδαρίου τοῦ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤκουσεν ἐντελλομένου τοῦ βασιλέως πᾶσιν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν ὑπὲρ Αβεσσαλωμ
6 Hivyo jeshi likaenda nyikani dhidi ya Israeli; vita ikaenea katika msitu wa Efraimu.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν ἐξ ἐναντίας Ισραηλ καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ Εφραιμ
7 Jeshi la Israeli likashindwa mbele ya askari wa Daudi; kulikuwa na machinjo makuu kwa watu elfu ishirini siku hiyo.
καὶ ἔπταισεν ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς Ισραηλ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δαυιδ καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ θραῦσις μεγάλη ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν
8 Vita ikaenea katika eneo lote na watu wengi wakaangamizwa na msitu kuliko upanga.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐκεῖ ὁ πόλεμος διεσπαρμένος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ δρυμὸς τοῦ καταφαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ὑπὲρ οὓς κατέφαγεν ἐν τῷ λαῷ ἡ μάχαιρα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ
9 Ikatukia kwamba Absalomu akakutana na askari wa Daudi. Absalomu alikuwa amepanda juu ya nyumbu wake na nyumbu akapita chini ya matawi manene ya mti wa mwaloni, na kichwa chake kikanaswa katika matawi ya mti. Akaachwa akining'inia kati ya nchi na anga wakati nyumbu alipoendelea mbele.
καὶ συνήντησεν Αβεσσαλωμ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δαυιδ καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡμιόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ ἡμίονος ὑπὸ τὸ δάσος τῆς δρυὸς τῆς μεγάλης καὶ ἐκρεμάσθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ δρυί καὶ ἐκρεμάσθη ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς γῆς καὶ ὁ ἡμίονος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ παρῆλθεν
10 Mtu mmoja akaona lililotukia na akamwambia Yoabu, “Tazama, nilimwona Absalomu akining'inia katika mwaloni!”
καὶ εἶδεν ἀνὴρ εἷς καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν Ιωαβ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἑώρακα τὸν Αβεσσαλωμ κρεμάμενον ἐν τῇ δρυί
11 Yoabu akamwambia aliyemwambia kuhusu Absalomu, “Tazama! Ulimwona! Kwa nini haukumpiga hata chini. Ningekupa shekeli kumi za fedha na mkanda.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντι καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑόρακας τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐπάταξας αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐγὼ ἂν δεδώκειν σοι δέκα ἀργυρίου καὶ παραζώνην μίαν
12 Yule mtu akamjibu Yoabu, “Hata kama ningepewa shekeli elfu za fedha hata hivyo nisingeinua mkono wangu juu ya mwana wa mfalme, kwa maana sisi sote tulimsikia mfalme akiwaagiza wewe, Abishai na Itai kusema, mtu asimguse huyo kijana Absalomu.'
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ πρὸς Ιωαβ καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἵστημι ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖράς μου χιλίους σίκλους ἀργυρίου οὐ μὴ ἐπιβάλω χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως ὅτι ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς σοὶ καὶ Αβεσσα καὶ τῷ Εθθι λέγων φυλάξατέ μοι τὸ παιδάριον τὸν Αβεσσαλωμ
13 Ikiwa ningehatarisha maisha yangu kwa uongo(na hakuna jambo linalofichika kwa mfalme), ungejitenga nami.”
μὴ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἄδικον καὶ πᾶς ὁ λόγος οὐ λήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ σὺ στήσῃ ἐξ ἐναντίας
14 Ndipo Yoabu aliposema, “sitakusubiri.” Kisha akachukua mishale mitatu mkononi mwake na akairusha katika moyo wa Absalomu wakati yu ngali hai na amening'inia katika mwaloni.
καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ τοῦτο ἐγὼ ἄρξομαι οὐχ οὕτως μενῶ ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἔλαβεν Ιωαβ τρία βέλη ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέπηξεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Αβεσσαλωμ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ζῶντος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς δρυὸς
15 Kisha vijana kumi waliochukua slaha za Yoabu wakamzunguka Absalomu, wakampiga na kumwua.
καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν δέκα παιδάρια αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη Ιωαβ καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτόν
16 Kisha Yoabu akapiga tarumbeta na jeshi likarudi kutoka kuwafuatia Israeli, hivyo Yoabu akalirudisha jeshi.
καὶ ἐσάλπισεν Ιωαβ ἐν κερατίνῃ καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ λαὸς τοῦ μὴ διώκειν ὀπίσω Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐφείδετο Ιωαβ τοῦ λαοῦ
17 Wakamchukua Absalomu na kumtupa katika shimo kubwa msituni; wakaufukia mwili wake chini ya rundo kubwa la mawe, wakati Israeli wote walipokimbia kila mtu nyumbani kwake.
καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν εἰς χάσμα μέγα ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ εἰς τὸν βόθυνον τὸν μέγαν καὶ ἐστήλωσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν σωρὸν λίθων μέγαν σφόδρα καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ
18 Wakati Absalomu alipokuwa yu ngali hai alijijengea nguzo kubwa ya jiwe katika Bonde la Mfalme, kwani alisema, “Sina mwana wa kuchukua kumbukumbu ya jina langu.” Akaiita nguzo kwa jina lake, hivyo inaitwa Mnara wa Absalomu hata leo.
καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ ἔτι ζῶν καὶ ἔστησεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν στήλην ἐν ᾗ ἐλήμφθη καὶ ἐστήλωσεν αὐτὴν λαβεῖν τὴν στήλην τὴν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ βασιλέως ὅτι εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ υἱὸς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν στήλην Χεὶρ Αβεσσαλωμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
19 Kisha Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki akasema, “Niruhusu niende kwa mfalme na habari njema, jinsi Yahwe alivyomwokoa kutoka mkono wa adui zake.”
καὶ Αχιμαας υἱὸς Σαδωκ εἶπεν δράμω δὴ καὶ εὐαγγελιῶ τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅτι ἔκρινεν αὐτῷ κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ
20 Yoabu akamjibu, “Wewe hautakuwa mchukua habari leo; utafanya hivyo siku nyingine. Leo hautachukua habari yoyote kwa maana mwana wa mfalme ameuawa.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιωαβ οὐκ ἀνὴρ εὐαγγελίας σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ καὶ εὐαγγελιῇ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἄλλῃ ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ οὐκ εὐαγγελιῇ οὗ εἵνεκεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθανεν
21 Ndipo Yoabu akamwambia Mkushi, “Nenda umwambia mfalme ulichokiona.” Mkushi akamwinamia Yoabu, na kisha akakimbia.
καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ τῷ Χουσι βαδίσας ἀνάγγειλον τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅσα εἶδες καὶ προσεκύνησεν Χουσι τῷ Ιωαβ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν
22 Kisha tena, Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki akamwambia Yoabu, “Pamoja na yote yanayoweza kutokea, tafadhari niruhusu nami pia niende nimfuate Mkushi.” Yoabu akajibu, “Mwanangu kwa nini unataka kwenda, hautapata thawabu yoyote kwa ajili ya habari hii?”
καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Αχιμαας υἱὸς Σαδωκ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ιωαβ καὶ ἔστω ὅτι δράμω καί γε ἐγὼ ὀπίσω τοῦ Χουσι καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ ἵνα τί τοῦτο τρέχεις υἱέ μου δεῦρο οὐκ ἔστιν σοι εὐαγγελία εἰς ὠφέλειαν πορευομένῳ
23 “Vyovyote itakavyokuwa niache niende,” Ahimaasi alijibu. Hivyo Yoabu akamjibu, “Nenda.” Ndipo Ahimaasi akakimbia kwa njia ya tambarare na akampita Mkushi.
καὶ εἶπεν τί γὰρ ἐὰν δραμοῦμαι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιωαβ δράμε καὶ ἔδραμεν Αχιμαας ὁδὸν τὴν τοῦ Κεχαρ καὶ ὑπερέβη τὸν Χουσι
24 Basi Daudi alikuwa amekaa kati ya lango la ndani na lango la nje. Na mlinzi alikuwa juu ya lango ukutani naye akainua macho yake. Alipokuwa akiangalia, akamwona mtu anakaribia huku akikimbia peke yake.
καὶ Δαυιδ ἐκάθητο ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο πυλῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ σκοπὸς εἰς τὸ δῶμα τῆς πύλης πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος καὶ ἐπῆρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ τρέχων μόνος ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ
25 Mlinzi akaita kwa sauti na kumwambia mfalme. Ndipo mfalme akasema, “Ikiwa yupo peke yake ana habari katika kinywa chake.” Mkimbiaji akasogea na kuukaribia mji.
καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ὁ σκοπὸς καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς εἰ μόνος ἐστίν εὐαγγελία ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐγγίζων
26 Kisha mlinzi akaona mtu mwingine aliyekuwa anakimbia, naye akamwambia bawabu; kusema, “Tazama, kuna mtu mwingine anakimbia peke yake.” Mfalme akasema, “Yeye pia analeta habari.”
καὶ εἶδεν ὁ σκοπὸς ἄνδρα ἕτερον τρέχοντα καὶ ἐβόησεν ὁ σκοπὸς πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἕτερος τρέχων μόνος καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς καί γε οὗτος εὐαγγελιζόμενος
27 Ndipo mlinzi akasema, Nadhani kukimbia kwake mtu aliye mbele ni kama kukimbia kwake Ahimaasi mwana wa Sadoki.” Mfalme akasema, “Yeye ni mtu mwema naye anakuja na habari njema.”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ σκοπός ἐγὼ ὁρῶ τὸν δρόμον τοῦ πρώτου ὡς δρόμον Αχιμαας υἱοῦ Σαδωκ καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς οὗτος καί γε εἰς εὐαγγελίαν ἀγαθὴν ἐλεύσεται
28 Ndipo Ahimaasi akaita na kumwambia mfalme, “Yote ni mema.” Kisha akainama yeye mwenyewe uso wake chini mbele ya mfalme na kusema, Atukuzwe Yahwe Mungu wako, aliyewatoa watu walioinua mkono wao kinyume cha bwana wangu mfalme.”
καὶ ἐβόησεν Αχιμαας καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰρήνη καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεός σου ὃς ἀπέκλεισεν τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς μισοῦντας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ
29 Hivyo mfalme akauliza, “Je huyo kijana Absalomu hajambo?” Ahimaasi akajibu, “Wakati Yoabu ananituma kwako mfalme, mimi mtumishi wa mfalme, niliona fujo kubwa sana lakini sikutambua ilihusu nini.”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἶπεν Αχιμαας εἶδον τὸ πλῆθος τὸ μέγα τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαι τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ βασιλέως Ιωαβ καὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων τί ἐκεῖ
30 Mfalme akamwambia, “Geuka usimame kando.” Hivyo Ahimaasi akageuka na kusimama.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἐπίστρεψον στηλώθητι ὧδε καὶ ἐπεστράφη καὶ ἔστη
31 Mara Mkushi akafika na kusema, “Kuna habari njema kwa bwana wangu mfalme kwa kuwa leo Yahwe amekulipia kisasi kwa wale wote walioinuka kinyume chako.”
καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ Χουσι παρεγένετο καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ εὐαγγελισθήτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς ὅτι ἔκρινέν σοι κύριος σήμερον ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων ἐπὶ σέ
32 Ndipo mfalme akamwuliza, “Je huyo kijana Absalomu ni mzima?” Mkushi akajibu, “Adui wa bwana wangu mfalme na wote wainukao kukudhuru na wawe kama huyo kijana.”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν Χουσι εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Χουσι γένοιντο ὡς τὸ παιδάριον οἱ ἐχθροὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν εἰς κακά
33 Ndipo mfalme alipohuzunishwa sana naye akaenda chumbani juu ya lango na kulia. Kadili alivyokwenda aliomboleza, mwanangu Absalomu, mwanangu, mwanangu Absalomu! afadhari ningekufa badala yako, Absalomu, mwanangu, mwanangu!”
καὶ ἐταράχθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον τῆς πύλης καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ οὕτως εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτόν υἱέ μου Αβεσσαλωμ υἱέ μου υἱέ μου Αβεσσαλωμ τίς δῴη τὸν θάνατόν μου ἀντὶ σοῦ ἐγὼ ἀντὶ σοῦ Αβεσσαλωμ υἱέ μου υἱέ μου
