2 Samweli 21
1 Kulikuwa na njaa kwa miaka mitatu katika siku za utawala wa Daudi, na Daudi akautafuta uso wa Yahwe. “Hivyo Yahwe akasema, “njaa hii ni kwa sababu ya mauaji ya Sauli na familia yake, kwa kuwa aliwauwa Wagibeoni.”
Also hungur was maad in the lond of Israel in the daies of Dauid, bi thre yeer contynueli. And Dauid counselide the answere of the Lord; and the Lord seide, For Saul, and his hows, and blood, for he killide men of Gabaon.
2 Basi Wagibeoni hawakuwa uzao wa Israeli; walikuwa ni masalia ya Waamori. Watu wa Israeli walikuwa wameapa kutowauwa, lakini Sauli alitaka kuwaangamiza wote kwa husuda kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli na Yuda.
Therfor whanne Gabaonytis weren clepid, the kyng seide to hem; sotheli Gabaonytis ben not of the sones of Israel, but thei ben the relikys of Ammorreis; and the sones of Israel hadden swore to hem, `that is, that thei schulden not `be slayn, and Saul wolde smyte hem for feruent loue, as for the sones of Israel and of Juda;
3 Ndipo Daudi alipowaita pamoja Wagibeoni na kuwaambia, “Niwafanyie nini kwa ajili ya upatanisho? Ili kwamba mweze kuwabariki watu wa Yahwe wanaorithi wema na ahadi zake?”
therfor Dauid seide to Gabaonytis, What schal Y do to you, and what schal be youre amendis, that ye blesse the eritage of the Lord?
4 Wagibeoni wakamjibu, “Hili siyo jambo la fedha wala dhahabu kati yatu na Sauli au familia yake. Na siyo hitaji letu kumwua mtu yeyote katika Israeli.” Daudi akasema, “Chochote mtakacho omba nitawafanyia.”
And Gabaonytis seiden to hym, No questioun is to vs on gold and siluer, but ayens Saul, and ayens his hows; nether we wolen, that a man of Israel be slayn. To whiche the kyng seide, What therfor wolen ye, that Y do to you?
5 Wakamjibu mfalme, “Mtu aliyetaka kutuuwa aliyepanga kunyume chetu, ili kutuangamiza na kukosa eneo katika mipaka ya Israeli -
Whiche seiden to the king, We owen to do awei so the man, that `al to brak ethir defoulide vs, and oppresside wickidli, that not oon sotheli be residue of his generacioun in alle the coostis of Israel.
6 haya na tupewe watu saba kutoka katika uzao wake, nasi tutawatundika mbele ya Yahwe katika Gibea ya Sauli, palipochaguliwa na Yahwe.” Mfalme akasema, “Nitawapeni”
Seuene men of hise sones be youun to vs, that we `crucifie hem to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, sum tyme the chosun man of the Lord. And the kyng seide, Y schal yyue.
7 Lakini mfalme akamwifadhi Mefiboshethi mwana wa Yonathani mwana wa Sauli, kwa ajili ya kiapo cha Yahwe kati ya Daudi na Yonathani mwana wa Sauli.
And the kyng sparide Myphibosech, sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, for the ooth of the Lord, that was bitwixe Dauid and bitwixe Jonathas, sone of Saul.
8 Mfalme akawachukua wana wawili wa Rispa binti Ayia aliomzalia Sauli, hawa wana wawili waliitwa Armoni na Mefiboshethi; na pia Daudi akawachukua wana watano wa Mikali binti Sauli, aliomzalia Adrieli mwana wa Berzilai Mmeholathi.
Therfor the kyng took twei sones of Respha, douyter of Ahira, whiche sche childide to Saul, Armony, and Mysphibosech; and he took fyue sones of Mychol, douyter of Saul, whiche sche gendride to Adriel, sone of Berzellai, that was of Molaty.
9 Akawaweka katika mikono ya Wagibeoni. Nao wakawatundika juu ya mlima mbele za Bwana, na wote saba wakafa pamoja. Waliuawa katika kipindi cha mavuno, katika siku ya kwanza mwanzoni mwa mavuno ya shayiri.
And he yaf hem in to the hondis of Gabaonytis, whiche crucifieden tho sones in the hil bifor the Lord; and these seuene felden slayn togidere in the daies of the firste rep, whanne the repyng of barli bigan.
10 Kisha Rispa, binti Aiya, akachukua nguo ya gunia na akajitanda mwenyewe juu ya mlima kando ya miili ya waliokufa tangu mwanzo wa mavuno mpaka wakati mvua ilipoanza kunyesha. Hakuruhusu ndege wa angani kutua juu ya miili mchana wala ayawani wa mwituni wakati wa usiku.
Forsothe Respha, douytir of Ahia, took an heire, and `araiede to hir silf a place aboue the stoon, fro the bigynnyng of heruest til watir droppide `on hem fro heuene; and sche suffride not briddis to tere hem bi dai, nether beestis bi nyyt.
11 Daudi akaambia alichokifanya Rispa, binti Aiya, suria wa Sauli.
And tho thingis whiche Respha, secoundarie wijf of Saul, douytir of Ahia, hadde do, weren teld to Dauid.
12 Hivyo Daudi akaenda na kuchukua mifupa ya Sauli na mifupa ya Yonathani mwanawe kutoka kwa watu wa Yabeshi Gileadi, waliokuwa wameiiba kutoka katika eneo la jumuiya la Beth Shani, Wafilisti walipokuwa wamewatundika baada ya Wafilisti kumwua Sauli katika Gilboa.
And Dauid yede, and took the boonys of Saul, and the boonys of Jonathas, his sone, of the men of Jabes of Galaad; that hadden stole tho boonys fro the street of Bethsan, in which street the Filisteis hadden hangid hem, whanne thei hadden slayn Saul in Gelboe.
13 Daudi akaiondoa pale mifupa ya Sauli na mifupa ya Yonathani mwanawe, na wakakusanya pia mifupa ya wale watu saba waliotundikwa.
And Dauid bar out fro thennus the boonys of Saul, and the boonys of Jonathas, his sone; and thei gaderiden the boonys of hem that weren crucified, and birieden tho with the boonys of Saul and of Jonathas, his sone, in the lond of Beniamyn, in the side of the sepulcre of Cys, fadir of Saul.
14 Wakaizika mifupa ya Sauli na Yonathani mwanawe huko Zela katika nchi ya Benjamini, katika kaburi la Kishi babaye. Wakafanya kila alichoagiza mfalme. Ndipo Mungu akajibu maombi yao kwa ajili ya nchi.
And thei diden al thingis, what euer thingis the kyng comaundide; and the Lord dide mercy to the lond aftir these thingis.
15 Kisha Wafilisti wakaenda tena katika vita na Israeli. Hivyo Daudi na jeshi lake wakashuka na kupigana na Wafilisti. Akiwa vitani Daudi akachoshwa na vita.
Forsothe batel of Filisteis was maad eft ayens Israel; and Dauid yede doun, and hise seruauntis with hym, and fouyten ayen Filisteis.
16 Ishbibenobu, wa uzao wa majitu, ambaye mkuki wake wa shaba ulikuwa na uzito wa shekeli mia tatu na alikuwa na upanga mpya, alitaka kumwua Daudi.
Sotheli whanne Dauid failide, Jesbydenob, that was of the kyn of Arapha, that is, of giauntis, and the yrun of his spere peiside thre hundrid ouncis, and he was gird with a newe swerd, enforside to smyte Dauid.
17 Lakini Abishai mwana wa Seruya akamwokoa Daudi, akampiga Mfilisti na kumwua. Ndipo watu wa Daudi wakamwapia, kusema, “Hautakwenda vitani pamoja nasi tena usije ukaizima taa ya Israeli.”
And Abisai, sone of Saruye, was in help to Dauid; and he smoot and killide the Filistei. Than the men of Dauid sworen, and seiden, Now thou schalt not go out with vs in to batel, lest thou quenche the lanterne of Israel.
18 Ikawa baadaye kuwa na vita tena kati ya Wafilisti huko Gobu, wakati Sibekai Mhushathi alipomwua Safu, aliyekuwa miongoni mwa uzao wa Warefai.
Also the secounde batel was in Gob ayens Filisteis; thanne Sobothai of Osothai smoot Zephi, of the generacioun of Arapha, of the kyn of giauntis.
19 Ikawa tena katika vita na Wafilisti huko Gobu, huyo Elhanani mwana wa Jari Mbethlehemu akamwua Goliathi Mgiti, ambaye fumo la mkuki wake lilikuwa kama mti wa mfumaji.
Also the thridde batel was in Gob ayens Filisteis; in which batel a man youun of God, the sone of forest, a broiderer, a man of Bethleem, smoot Golyath of Geth, whos `schaft of spere was as a beem of webbis.
20 Ikawa katika vita nyingine huko Gathi kulikuwa na mtu mrefu sana mwenye vidole sita katika kila mkono na vidole sita katika kila mguu, jumla yake ishirini na vinne. Yeye naye alikuwa wa uzao wa Warefai.
The fourthe batel was in Geth; where ynne was an hiy man, that hadde sixe fyngris in the hondis and feet, that is, foure and twenti; and he was of the kyn of Arapha;
21 Alipowatukana Israeli, Yonathani mwana mwana wa Shama, nduguye Daudi, akamwua.
and he blasfemyde Israel; sotheli Jonathan, sone of Samaa, brother of Dauid, killide hym.
22 Hawa walikuwa wa uzao wa Warefai wa Gathi, waliuawa kwa mkono wa Daudi na kwa mkono wa askari wake
These foure weren borun of Arapha in Geth, and thei felden doun in the hond of Dauid, and of hise seruauntis.
