1And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
1 Waato kaŋ cine Dawda kaaru hal a bisa tudo boŋ kayna, kala Ziba, Mefiboset bannya go, a kubay da Dawda. A kande farka hinka nda ngey jejey, buuru kunkuni zangu hinka go farkayey boŋ, da reyzin* fafa zangu fo, da kaydiya ŋwaari ize yaŋ mo zangu, da duvan* humbur fo.
2And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
2 Bonkoono mo ne Ziba se: «Ifo no ga ti ni miila nda jarawey wo?» Ziba mo ne: «Farkayey zama bonkoono almayaaley ma kaaru, buuro da kaydiya ŋwaari izey mo arwasey se, i ma ŋwa, duvan mo borey kaŋ yaŋ lakaw saajo ra se, i ma haŋ.»
3And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
3 Bonkoono ne: «Man ni koyo ize aro binde?» Ziba ne bonkoono se: «A go Urusalima ga goro, zama a goono ga ne hunkuna Israyla dumo g'a baabo koytara yeti a se.»
4Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
4 Waato din gaa bonkoono ne Ziba se: «Guna, hay kulu kaŋ go Mefiboset kambe ra, kulu ni wane no.» Ziba mo ne: «Ay ga sombu ni jine. Ya koyo ay bonkoono, naŋ ay ma du gaakuri ni jine.»
5And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
5 Waato din gaa bonkoono Dawda kaa ka to Ba-Hurim. Kala Sawulu dumey ra boro fo go no kaŋ maa Simey, Gera ize fatta. A fattanta mo a ga kaa, a ga wow.
6And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
6 Kal a to hal a na Dawda nda Dawda tamey kulu catu nda tondiyaŋ, jama kulu nda wongu borey kaŋ yaŋ go ce gaa, bonkoono kambe ŋwaaro da kambe wow gaa.
7And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
7 Haŋ kaŋ Simey ci waati kaŋ a go ga wowo te, nga neeya: «Fun noodin, fun noodin, nin kuri bora, boro yaamo wo!
8The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
8 Rabbi na Sawulu dumo kuri alhakko kulu bare ka ye ni boŋ, nga kaŋ ni goono ga may a nango ra. Rabbi mo na mayra kulu daŋ ni izo Absalom kambe ra. A go mo, ni zamba ra i na ni ŋwa, zama ni ya kuri boro no.»
9Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
9 Noodin binde Zeruwiya ize Abisay ne bonkoono se: «Ifo se no hansi buuko wo ga koyo ay bonkoono wow? Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ay se ay ma daŋandi k'a boŋo dagu a se.»
10And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
10 Bonkoono ne: «Ya araŋ Zeruwiya izey, ifo k'ay zaa da araŋ? Za kaŋ a goono ga wow, Rabbi mo ne a se a ma Dawda wow no. To, may no ga ne: ‹Ifo se no ni goono ga woodin te?› »
11And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
11 Dawda ne Abisay nda nga tamey kulu mo se: «Ay izo kaŋ ay hay, a go g'ay fundo ceeci, sanku fa Benyamin boro wo binde? Wa fay d'a. Naŋ a ma wow, zama Rabbi no ka salaŋ a se.
12It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
12 Hambara Irikoy ga guna ka di taali kaŋ i goono ga te ay se. Rabbi mo ma bana ay se da gomni, wowo kaŋ a te ay se hunkuna sabbay se.»
13And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
13 Yaadin no Dawda nda nga alborey kulu na fonda gana nd'a. Simey mo casu tudo zumbanta kambo gaa, a ga dira, a ga wow. A goono g'a catu nda tondiyaŋ, ka laabu say-say.
14And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
14 Bonkoono da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda mo kaa da farga. A binde fulanzam noodin.
15And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
15 Kala Absalom da Israyla jama alborey kulu furo Urusalima ra. Ahitofel mo go a banda.
16And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
16 A ciya mo waato kaŋ Husay Arcita bora, kaŋ ga ti Dawda cora kaa Absalom do, kala Husay ne Absalom se: «Irikoy ma bonkoono no aloomar! Irikoy ma bonkoono no aloomar!»
17And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
17 Absalom mo ne Husay se: «Ni gomno nooya ni cora _Dawda|_ se? Ifo se no ni mana koy ni cora banda?»
18And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
18 Husay ne Absalom se: «Manti yaadin no, amma boro kaŋ Rabbi da jama wo da Israyla jama alborey kulu suuban, ay mo, ay ga ciya a wane. A banda mo no ay ga goro.»
19And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
19 A ne koyne: «May se no a ga hima ay ma may? Manti a izo do haray no bo? Danga mate kaŋ ay may d'a ni baaba jine, yaadin no ay ga goro nd'a ni jine mo.»
20Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
20 Gaa no Absalom ne Ahitofel se: «Kala ni ma ni saawara no, haŋ kaŋ ga hima iri ma te.»
21And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
21 Ahitofel mo ne Absalom se: «Kala ni ma margu nda ni baabo wahayey kaŋ yaŋ a naŋ windi batuyaŋ se. Israyla kulu ga maa baaru kaŋ ni ciya fanta hari ni baaba se. Waato din gaa no borey kaŋ yaŋ go ni banda kulu kambey ga te gaabi.»
22So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
22 I na tanda fo te Absalom se fu cinaro boŋ, jidan bisa boŋ. Absalom mo margu nda nga baabo wahayey, Israyla kulu jine.
23And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
23 Ahitofel saawara binde kaŋ a saaware jirbey din ra, danga day boro kaŋ na Irikoy sanno hã. Yaadin no Ahitofel saaware kulu bara Dawda nda Absalom kulu se.
