2 Samuel 15
1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went before him.
Bangʼ kinde moko, Abisalom nongʼiewo gari gi farese kendo ne en gi ji piero abich mane ringo e nyime.
2 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe of Israel.”
Ne ochiewo gokinyi kendo nochungʼ e bath yo mochiko dhoranga dala maduongʼ. E kinde duto mane ngʼato angʼata obiro man-gi wach modwaro mondo ruoth ongʼadnee rieko, Abisalom ne luonge kapenje niya, “Ia e dala mane?” To nodwoke niya, “Jatichni oa e achiel kuom dhout Israel.”
3 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
Eka Abisalom ne odwoke niya, “Aneno ni wecheni beyo kendo gin adier; to makmana ni onge ngʼat ma ruoth oseketo mondo owinjne weche makamagi.”
4 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
Kendo Abisalom nomedo wacho niya, “Ka dine yiera mondo abed jangʼad bura e piny, to ngʼato angʼata man-gi ywak kata wach moro, nyalo biro ira kendo anyalo neno ni ongʼadne bura mowinjore.”
5 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss him.
Bende e kinde ma ngʼato angʼata nobiro ire mondo okulre e nyime, Abisalom ne mako lwet ngʼatno kendo nyodhe.
6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.
Abisalom notimo kama ni jo-Israel duto mane biro ir ruoth mondo ongʼadnigi bura, kendo noywayogo chuny jo-Israel.
7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.
Bangʼ ka higni angʼwen noserumo, Abisalom nowachone ruoth niya, “Yiena mondo adhi Hebron kendo achop singruok moro mane atimo gi Jehova Nyasaye.
8 For your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”
Kane jatichni odak Geshur e piny Aram, ne asingora kama: ‘Ka Jehova Nyasaye noduoga Jerusalem, to anadhi alam Jehova Nyasaye Hebron.’”
9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Omiyo nodhi Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’”
Eka Abisalom nooro joote lingʼ-lingʼ e dhout Israel duto kowacho niya, “E sa moro amora ma unuwinj ka turumbete oywak, to wachuru ni, ‘Ruodh Hebron, en Abisalom.’”
11 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
Ji mia ariyo moa Jerusalem nobiro kod Abisalom. Ne oluong-gi kaka welo mi gidhi gichuny maler ka ok gingʼeyo gimoro amora madhi nyime.
12 Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.
Kane Abisalom timo misengini, nooro joote mondo oom Ahithofel ma ja-Gilon, jangʼad rieko ni Daudi mondo obi koa Gilo, ma dalagi. Omiyo tim mar ngʼanyo nomedo bedo gi teko, kendo ji mane luwo bangʼ Abisalom nosiko ka medore.
13 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”
Jaote nobiro mowachone Daudi niya, “Chuny jo-Israel nigi Abisalom.”
14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
Eka Daudi nowachone jodonge duto mane ni kode Jerusalem niya, “Biuru! Nyaka to waring waa ka, ka ok kamano onge ngʼato kuomwa mabiro tony e lwet Abisalom. Nyaka wawuog mapiyo, nono to enobi mapiyo mojukwa mi otiekwa kendo oneg ji e dala maduongʼ gi ligangla.”
15 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
Jodong ruoth nodwoke niya, “Jotiji to oikore mar timo gimoro amora ma ruodhwa ma en ruoth oyiero.”
16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.
Ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi joode duto makmana monde mamoko apar ema ne oweyo karito dala ruoth.
17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
Omiyo ruoth nowuok kaachiel gi ji duto kaluwo bangʼe, negidhi ma gichungʼ matin kamoro mochwalore.
18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.
Joge duto nowuotho mokadho ka gin kaachiel gi jo-Kereth duto kod jo-Peleth; to gi jo-Giti duto mia auchiel mane obiro kode koa Gath bende ne wuotho e nyim ruoth.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.
Ruoth nowachone Itai ja-Giti niya, “Angʼo momiyo idhi kodwa? Dogi mondo ibed gi Ruoth Abisalom. In ngʼama wendo, moringo koa e pinygi.
20 You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
Yande eka ibiro ka. To koro tinendeni ere kaka diwuoth kodwa kamoro amora, to an akia kuma adhiye? Dogi mondo ikaw jothuru idhigo. Mad ngʼwono gi adieri bed kodi.”
21 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
To Itai nodwoko ruoth niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kendo akwongʼora ni ruodha ma en ruoth ni kamoro amora ma ruodha ma en ruoth nobedie, bed ni en kar ngima kata kar tho, to kanyo bende ema jatichni nobedie.”
22 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
Daudi nowachone Itai niya, “Wuoth wadhi.” Omiyo Itai ja-Giti nowuotho gi joge duto gi joutegi mane ni kode.
23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
Ji duto mane ni kama gikadhoe noywak matek ka jogo duto kadho. Ruoth bende ne ongʼado Holo mar Kidron kendo ji duto nowuotho kochomo yo thim.
24 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
Zadok bende ne ni kanyo to gi jo-Lawi duto mane ni kode notingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye. Negiketo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye piny, eka Abiathar nochiwo misengini nyaka ji duto notieko wuok e dala maduongʼ.
25 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
Eka ruoth nowachone Zadok niya, “Dwok Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye e dala maduongʼ. Ka Jehova Nyasaye okecha, to enoduoga ka kendo enomi ane Sandug Muma kod kar dak Nyasaye kendo.
26 But if he will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
To kowacho ni, ‘Ok amor kodi,’ to aikora; we mondo otim gima oneno ni berne.”
27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
Ruoth nomedo wacho ni Zadok jadolo niya, “Donge in janen? Dogi dala gi kwe, gi wuodi ma Ahimaz gi Jonathan wuod Abiathar. In kod Abiathar kawuru yawuotu ariyo udhigo.
28 Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”
Abiro rito kama iyoroe aora e thim nyaka ayud wach moa iri kinyisago gima dhi nyime.
29 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained there.
Omiyo Zadok gi Abiathar nodwoko Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye Jerusalem ma gibet kanyo.”
30 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
To Daudi nomedo wuotho ka twenyo got mar Zeituni kowuotho gi tiende nono, koumo wiye kendo oywak. Ji duto mane ni kode bende noumo wigi, to gin bende ne giywak ka gitwenyo got.
31 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
Nonwangʼo ka Daudi osenyisi niya, “Ahithofel en achiel kuom jo-andhoga mane oriwore gi Abisalom.” Omiyo Daudi nolemo niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, lok ngʼado rieko mar Ahithofel obed fuwo.”
32 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
Kane Daudi ochopo ewi got kuma ji ne lamoe Nyasaye chon, Hushai ja-Arki ne ni kanyo mondo orom kode, lawe ne oyiech kendo buru ne ni e wiye.
33 And David said to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to me.
Daudi nowachone niya, “Kidhi koda to idhi bedona tingʼ mapek.
34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel
To kidok e dala maduongʼ miwachone Abisalom ni, ‘Abiro bedo jatiji, yaye ruoth; nikech ne an jatij wuonu ndalo mokadho, to sani koro abiro bedo jatiji,’ to kitimo ma to inyalo konya ketho ngʼado rieko mar Ahithofel.
35 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.
Donge jodolo ma gin Zadok gi Abiathar jodhi bedo kodi kuno? Wachnegi gimoro amora miwinjo e dala ruoth.
36 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
Yawuotgi ariyo ma gin Ahimaz wuod Zadok gi Jonathan wuod Abiathar bende ni kanyo kodgi. Orgi ira gi gimoro amora miwinjo.”
37 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
Omiyo osiep Daudi ma Hushai nochopo Jerusalem e sa mane Abisalom donjoe e dala maduongʼ.
