1 Ruodhi 2
1 Kane kinde ochopo machiegni mondo Daudi otho, nosiemo Solomon wuode.
As the day of David's death approached, he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
2 Kowacho niya, “Achiegni dhi kuma ji duto manie piny dhiye.” Omiyo bed motegno kendo jiwri ka dichwo,
“I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man.
3 kendo irit gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi dwaro: Kiwuotho e yorene kendo irit puonjne gi chikene kod gik moko duto modwaro kaka ondiki e chik Musa mondo idhi nyime maber e gik moko duto mitimo, kendo kamoro amora midhiye,
Keep the commands of Yahweh your God to walk in his ways, to obey his statutes, his commandments, his decisions, and his covenant decrees, being careful to do what is written in the law of Moses, so you may prosper in all you do, wherever you go,
4 eka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo rito singruokne mane omiya ni, Ka nyikwayi onono kaka gidak kendo ka giwuotho gi adiera e nyima gi chunygi duto kod parogi duto to ok nibedi maonge ngʼat manyalo bedo e kom duongʼ e Israel.
so that Yahweh may fulfill his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons carefully watch their conduct, to walk before me faithfully with all their heart and with all their soul, you will never cease to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
5 Koro in iwuon ingʼeyo gima Joab wuod Zeruya notimona, gima notimo ni jotend lweny ariyo mag Israel, Abner wuod Ner gi Amasa wuod Jetha. Ne onegogi, kochwero rembgi e ndalo kwe mana ka ndalo mag lweny kendo remono nomienogo okandane mane otweyo e nungone kod wuochene manie tiendene.
You know also what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether, whom he killed. He shed the blood of war in peace and put the blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the shoes on his feet.
Deal with Joab by the wisdom you have learned, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 To bed mangʼwon ni yawuot Barzilai ja-Gilead kendo we gibed achiel kuom joma chiemo e mesani. Negidok jokora kane aringo e nyim Abisalom owadu.
However, show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, for they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
8 Bende par, ni nitie Shimei wuod Gera, ja-Benjamin moa Bahurim mane okwongʼa malit kane adhi Mahanaim. Kane obiro romona e dho Jordan, ne akwongʼorane gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, Ok ananegi gi ligangla.
Look, there is with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. Shimei came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'
9 To koro kik ikwane ka ngʼama onge ketho. In ngʼama riek; iningʼe gima nitimne. Kik iwe lwar mantie e wiye dhi e bur gi kwe. (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore do not let him go free from punishment. You are a wise man, and you will know what you ought to do to him. You will bring his gray head down to the grave with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Eka Daudi notho gi wuonene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi.
Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.
11 Daudi noyudo osetelo ne Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen, ka higni abiriyo ne en Hebron to higni piero adek gadek ka en Jerusalem.
The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He had reigned for seven years in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Omiyo Solomon nobet e kom loch wuon mare Daudi, kendo lochne nogurore.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
13 Koro Adonija wuod Hagith nodhi ir Bathsheba min Solomon. Bathsheba nopenje niya, “Ibiro gi kwe?” Eka nodwoko niya, “Ee abiro gi kwe.”
Then Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peacefully?” He replied, “Peacefully.”
14 Eka nomedo wacho niya, “An gi wach moro madwaro wachoni.” Nodwoko niya, “Inyalo wacho.”
Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” So she replied, “Speak.”
15 Eka nowacho niya, “Kaka ingʼeyo, pinyruoth ne mara. Jo-Israel duto nongʼiya kaka ruodhgi. To gik moko nolokore ma pinyruoth nodok ni owadwa; nimar Jehova Nyasaye ema osemiyego.
Adonijah said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel expected me to be king. But things changed, and the kingdom was given to my brother, for it was his from Yahweh.
16 Koro an gi kwayo achiel madwaro kwayo. Ka iyie to kik itama.” Bathsheba nowachone niya, “Wachi.”
Now I have one request of you, and do not turn away from my face.” Bathsheba said to him, “Speak.”
17 Eka Adonija nomedo wacho niya, “Yie ikwa ruoth Solomon omiya Abishag nyar Shunam obed jaoda nikech angʼeyo ni ok obi tami.”
He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not turn away from your face, so that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
18 Bathsheba to ne odwoke niya, “Mano ber, abiro wuoyoni gi ruoth.”
Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king.”
19 Kane Bathsheba odhi ir Ruoth Solomon mondo owuo kuom Adonija, ruoth nochungʼ malo mokulorene eka nobet e kome mar duongʼ. Nokwayo mondo okel ni min-gi kom duongʼ eka nobet e bade korachwich.
Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat down on his throne and had a throne brought for the king's mother. She sat at his right hand.
20 Bathsheba nowachone niya, “An-gi kwayo matin madwaro kwayo to yie kik itama.” Ruoth to nodwoke niya, “Kwaye akwaya minwa nimar ok anatami.”
Then she said, “I wish to ask one small request of you, for you will not turn away from my face.” The king answered her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not turn away from your face.”
21 Omiyo nowacho niya, “Yie iwe Abishag nyar Shunam mondo okend gi owadu Adonija.”
She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as his wife.”
22 Ruoth Solomon nodwoko min niya, “Angʼo momiyo ikwayo Abishag nyar Shunam ni Adonija? Inyalo anyala kata mana kwayone pinyruoth nimar en owadwa maduongʼ, bende inyalo kwaye ni Abiathar jadolo kod Joab wuod Zeruya!”
King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why do you not ask the kingdom for him also, for he is my elder brother—for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah?”
23 Eka Ruoth Solomon nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Mad Nyasaye kweda ka Adonija ok otho nikech kwayoni.
Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
24 Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni en mosegura e kom loch mar Daudi wuora kendo mosesingo ni nyikwaya pinyruoth ni Adonija nyaka negi kawuono!”
Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah will be put to death today.”
25 Omiyo Ruoth Solomon nochiwo chik ne Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nonego Adonija.
So King Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Benaiah found Adonijah and put him to death.
26 To kuom Abiathar jadolo, ruoth nowacho niya, “Dog e puotheni mantie Anathoth. Iwinjori gi tho, to ok ananegi sani, nikech nitingʼo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto e nyim Daudi wuonwa kendo nineno chandruok duto mane wuonwa oneno.”
Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields. You are worthy of death, but I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father and suffered in every way my father suffered.”
27 Omiyo Solomon nogolo Abiathar e tich dolo mar Jehova Nyasaye kochopogo wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho Shilo kuom od Eli.
So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 Kane wechego olandore mochopo ni Joab mane joriwore gi Adonija kata obedo ni ne ok oriwore gi Abisalom, ne oringo modhi e Hemb Jehova Nyasaye mi nomako tunge kendo mar misango.
The news came to Joab, for Joab had supported Adonijah, though he had not supported Absalom. So Joab fled to the tent of Yahweh and took hold of the horns of the altar.
29 Ruoth Solomon nowachne ni Joab oseringo modhi e hemb Jehova Nyasaye kendo ni ne en but kendo mar misango. Eka Solomon nochiko Benaya wuod Jehoyada niya, “Dhiyo mondo inege.”
It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Yahweh and was now beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, execute him.”
30 Omiyo Benaya nodonjo e Hemb Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowacho ni Joab niya, “Ruoth wacho ni, ‘Wuog oko!’” To nodwoke niya, “Ooyo, abiro mana tho ka.” Benaya nodwoko wach Joab ni ruoth.
So Benaiah came to the tent of Yahweh and said to him, “The king says, 'Come out.'” Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah returned to the king, saying, “Joab said he wanted to die at the altar.”
31 Eka ruoth nochiko Benaya niya, “Tim kaka osewacho. Nege kendo yike mondo ipwodha kod od wuonwa kuom richo mar remo makare mane Joab ochwero.
The king said to him, “Do as he has said. Kill him and bury him so that you may take away from me and from my father's house the blood that Joab shed without cause.
32 Jehova Nyasaye enochule kuom remo mane ochwero, nikech nonego ji ariyo gi ligangla ka wuonwa Daudi kia. Nonego Abner wuod Ner jatend lweny mar Israel kod Amasa wuod Jetha jatend lweny mar Juda mane gin joma ber kendo mobidhore moloye.
May Yahweh return his blood on his own head, because he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself and killed them with the sword, Abner son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, the captain of the army of Judah, without my father David knowing it.
33 Mad rembgi obedi ewi Joab gi nyikwaye nyaka chiengʼ. To kuom Daudi gi nyikwaye gi ode kod kuom lochne, mad kwe Jehova Nyasaye obedie nyaka chiengʼ.”
So may their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever. But to David and his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, may there be peace forever from Yahweh.”
34 Omiyo Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodhi monego Joab kendo noyike mana e lope e thim.
Then Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and attacked Joab and killed him. He was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 Ruoth noketo Benaya wuod Jehoyada jatend lweny kar Joab mi noketo Zadok jadolo kar Abiathar jadolo.
The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and he put Zadok the priest in Abiathar's place.
36 Eka ruoth noluongo Shimei ire, mowachone niya, ger ot Jerusalem mondo idagie to kik iwuogi ni idhi kamoro amora.
Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any other place.
37 Chiengʼ ma iniwuogi ma ingʼadi Holo mar Kidron, to bed gadiera ni initho; kendo rembi enobed e wiyi.
For on the day you go out, and pass over the Kidron Valley, know you for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
38 To Shimei nodwoko ruoth niya, “Gima iwacho ber, jatichni biro timo kaka ruodhe osewacho.” Shimei nodak Jerusalem kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
So Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my master the king has said, so your servant will do.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
39 To bangʼ higni adek jotich Shimei ariyo noringo modhi ir Akish wuod Maaka, ruodh Gath kendo nowach ne Shimei niya, “Wasumbinigi ni Gath.”
But at the end of three years, two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, the king of Gath. So they told Shimei, saying, “See, your servants are in Gath.”
40 Gikanyono noidho pundane kendo nodhi ir Akish kane en Gath komanyo wasumbinige, omiyo Shimei nodhi moduogogi.
Then Shimei arose, saddled his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to seek his servants. He went and brought his servants back from Gath.
41 Kane onyis Solomon ni Shimei nowuok Jerusalem modhi nyaka Gath kendo odwogo,
When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
42 ruoth noluongo Shimei mowachone niya, “Donge ne akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ka asiemi ni chiengʼ ma iniwuogi mondo idhi kamoro amora to ibed kingʼeyo ni initho? To e kindeno niwachona niya, ‘Gima iwacho ber, abiro luwo.’
the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by Yahweh and testify to you, saying, 'Know for certain that on the day you go out and go to any other place, you will surely die'? Then you said to me, 'What you say is good.'
43 Angʼo momiyo ne ok irito singruokni ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo rito chik mane amiyi?”
Why then have you not kept your oath to Yahweh and the command that I gave you?”
44 Ruoth nomedo wachone Shimei niya, “Ingʼeyo e chunyi richo duto mane itimone wuonwa Daudi. Koro Jehova Nyasaye biro chuli kuom richo duto mane itimo.
The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to my father David. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.
45 To Ruoth Solomon ibiro gwedhi kendo kom loch mar Daudi biro siko kogurore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ.”
But King Solomon will be blessed and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.”
46 Eka ruoth nogolo chik ni Benaya wuod Jehoyada, mi nowuok modhi mogoyo Shimei monege. Pinyruoth koro nogurore e lwet Solomon.
Then the king gave a command to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. He went out and put Shimei to death. So the rule was well established in Solomon's hand.
