1And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask 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 to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are 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 to the king, Behold, he abides 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.»
4And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour 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, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed,
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 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 as he cursed: Away, away, thou man of blood and 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!
8Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art [taken] in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood.
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.»
9And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to 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, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou 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, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has 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 Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed 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 David and his men went by the way; and 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.
15Now 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, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live 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 didst thou not go 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 to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, 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 it not be 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.»
20And Absalom said 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 to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall 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 a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to 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 counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word 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.
