1And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
1 I ci Yowab se ka ne: «Guna, bonkoono goono ga hẽ, a goono ga baray Absalom sabbay se.»
2And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for his son.
2 Han din zaama teeyaŋo ye ka bare ka ciya bu baray koyne jama kulu se, zama han din jama maa baaru kaŋ i ne bonkoono goono ga bine saray te nga izo se.
3And the people stole away that day into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle.
3 Borey binde furo kwaara ra han din hane tugante, sanda boroyaŋ kaŋ haawi n'i di waato kaŋ i zuru wongu do, kaŋ i na goobu haŋ.
4And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!
4 Bonkoono mo na nga moyduma daabu. A ce mo da jinde beeri, ka ne, «Ya ay izo, Absalom, ya Absalom! Ya ay izo, ay izo!»
5And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy concubines;
5 Yowab binde furo windo ra bonkoono do ka ne: «Hunkuna ni na ni tamey kulu haawandi, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na ni fundo, da ni ize arey, da ni ize wayey, da ni wandey da ni wahayey fundey mo faaba.
6in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest those that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that neither princes nor servants are anything to thee: for to-day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died to-day, then it would have been right in thine eyes.
6 Zama borey kaŋ ga konna nin no ni ga baa, ka konna ni baakoy. Zama ni bangandi hunkuna kaŋ koyey da bannyey wo yaamoyaŋ no ni se. Hunkuna ay faham da woone: da day Absalom ga funa, iri kulu mo bu, doŋ a ga kaan ni se gumo.
7But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy youth until now.
7 A binde, sohõ ni ma tun ka fatta ka sanni kaano te ni tamey se. Zama ay ze da Rabbi, da ni mana fatta hunkuna, boro kulu si no kaŋ ga goro ni banda. Laala din binde ga jaase hay kulu kaŋ du nin za ni go arwasu ka to hala hunkuna.»
8Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
8 Waato din gaa no bonkoono tun ka goro kwaara meyo gaa. I ci jama kulu se ka ne: «Guna, bonkoono goono ga goro kwaara meyo gaa.» Borey kulu binde kaa bonkoono jine. Amma Israyla kulu jin ka zuru, boro kulu koy nga kwaara.
9And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.
9 Borey kulu binde soobay ka care kusuuma Israyla kundey kulu ra. I goono ga ne: «Bonkoono n'iri faaba iri yanjekaarey kambey ra. A n'iri faaba mo Filistancey kambey ra, amma sohõ a zuru Absalom sabbay se.
10And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?
10 Absalom mo kaŋ iri daŋ bonkooni iri boŋ, a bu wongo ra. Sohõ binde, ifo se no araŋ si salaŋ ka ne i ma ye ka kande bonkoono?»
11And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.
11 Bonkoono Dawda binde donton alfagey Zadok nda Abiyatar do ka ne: «Wa salaŋ da Yahuda arkusey ka ne: ‹Ifo se no araŋ ciya kokor banda wane yaŋ bonkoono ye-ka-kande fu yaŋ ciine ra, za kaŋ Israyla kulu sanney to bonkoono do nga kwaara ra?
12Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?
12 Araŋ no ga ti ay nya-izey, d'ay biriyo d'ay baso mo. Ifo se binde kaŋ araŋ no ga ti kokor banda waney bonkoono ye-ka-kande yaŋo ciine ra?›
13And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.
13 Araŋ ma ne Amasa mo se: ‹Nin wo, manti ay biri nd'ay basi no? Irikoy m'ay laali da ni mana ciya wongu marga wonkoyo ay jine Yowab nango ra duumi.› »
14And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants.
14 A binde na Yahuda alborey kulu biney naan, sanda boro folloŋ bine cine, hal a donton bonkoono gaa ka ne: «Ma ye ka kaa, nin da ni tamey kulu.»
15And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
15 Bonkoono binde ye ka kaa, hal a to Urdun isa. Yahuda mo kaa Jilgal, zama ngey ma bonkoono kubay se, ka Urdun daŋandi a banda.
16And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
16 Simey, Gera ize mo, Benyamin boro, Ba-Hurim kwaara bora waasu-waasu ka zumbu Yahuda borey banda Bonkoono Dawda kubayyaŋ se.
17And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the Jordan before the king.
17 Benyamin alborey mo, ngey boro zambar fo go no a banda, hala nda Ziba, Sawulu windi bannya, da nga ize way cindi guwa, da nga bannya waranka a banda. I na Urdun daŋandi ka koy bonkoono do.
18And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was [just] crossing over the Jordan.
18 Kal i na bonkoono almayaaley daŋandi yawyaŋo do haray ka te mo haŋ kaŋ ga kaan bonkoono se. Gera ize Simey mo, waato kaŋ a daŋandi, a ye ganda bonkoono jine.
19And he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.
19 A ne a se: «Bonkoono ma si taali dake ay boŋ, ma si fongu mo haŋ kaŋ ay, ni tamo te hartayaŋ ra waato kaŋ koyo ay bonkoono fun Urusalima ra, hala bonkoono ma woodin jisi nga bina ra.
20For thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
20 Zama ay, ni tamo bay kaŋ ay na taali te. Sohõ binde, guna ay kaa hunkuna. Ay no ga ti ijina Yusufu kunda kulu ra ay ma kaa koyo ay bonkoono kubayyaŋ se.»
21And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed?
21 Amma Zeruwiya ize Abisay tu ka ne: «I si Simey wi no, za kaŋ a na Rabbi wane suubananta wow?»
22And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
22 Dawda mo ne: «Ya araŋ Zeruwiya izey, ifo k'ay zaa da araŋ, kaŋ araŋ ga ciya ay ibareyaŋ hunkuna? I ga boro kulu wi Israyla ra hunkuna, wala? Manti ay bay hunkuna kaŋ ay ya bonkooni no Israyla boŋ?»
23And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.
23 Bonkoono mo ne Simey se: «Ni si bu.» Bonkoono ze a se mo.
24And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again] in peace.
24 Sawulu haama Mefiboset mo kaa zama nga ma bonkoono kubay se. A mana nga ce camsey dumbu, wala nga kaabe hanseyaŋ, wala baa nga bankaaray nyunayaŋ za hano kaŋ hane bonkoono dira kala hano kaŋ a ye ka kaa baani.
25And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
25 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ a kaa Urusalima bonkoono kubayyaŋ se, kala bonkoono ne a se: «Mefiboset, ifo se no ni mana koy ay banda?»
26And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.
26 Nga mo tu ka ne: «Ya koyo ay bonkoono, ay tamo no k'ay fafagu. Zama ay ni bannya ne: ‹Naŋ ay ma kaari-ka daŋ ay farka gaa, zama ay ma kaaru a boŋ ka koy bonkoono banda, zama ay, ni tamo ya fanaka no.›
27And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.
27 Amma a na ay, ni tamo maa sara koyo ay bonkoono do. Amma koyo ay bonkoono ga hima sanda Irikoy malayka. Kala ni ma te mo haŋ kaŋ ga kaan ni se.
28For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?
28 Zama ay baaba windo almayaaley kulu ciya sanda buukoyaŋ koyo ay bonkoono jine. Kulu nda yaadin, ni na ay, ni tamo daŋ borey kaŋ ga ŋwa ni taablo boŋ yaŋ ra. Ay gonda hina ka hẽ bonkoono gaa koyne, wala?»
29And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
29 Bonkoono ne a se: «Ifo se no ni na ni sanno tonton? Ay sanno neeya: Doŋ day, nin da Ziba, kal araŋ ma farey fay.»
30And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.
30 Mefiboset binde ne bonkoono se: «Oho, naŋ a ma hay kulu sambu, za kaŋ koyo ay bonkoono ye ka kaa fu baani samay.»
31And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
31 Jileyad bora Barzillay fun Rogelim. A na Urdun daŋandi bonkoono banda, zama nga m'a dum ka koy hala Urdun daaranta.
32And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
32 Barzillay wo mo dottijo zeeno no gumo, zama a jiiri wahakku. A na kwaara goray hari haggoy bonkoono se mo za a go Mahanayim da goray, zama nga wo boro beeri no gumo.
33And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.
33 Bonkoono ne Barzillay se: «Kala ni ma daŋandi ay banda. Ay mo ya ni jare ay banda Urusalima ra.»
34And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
34 Amma Barzillay ne bonkoono se: «Ay fundo jirbi marge no ka cindi kaŋ ay ga kaaru bonkoono banda ka koy Urusalima?
35I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
35 Hunkuna ay jiirey to wahakku. Ay ga hin ka fayanka ihanno nda ilaalo game ra no? Ay, ni tamo ga hin k'ay ŋwaari dumi taba, wala haŋ kaŋ ay ga haŋ no? Wala ay ga hin ka maa alboro nda wayboro kaŋ goono ga doon jinde? Ifo se binde ay, ni tamo ga ciya jaraw koyo ay bonkoono se ne jine?
36Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
36 Ay, ni tamo ga ba ay ma Urdun wo daŋandi hinne no ay bonkoono banda. Ifo se no bonkoono ga alhakku bana ay se ya-cine?
37Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
37 Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay, ni tamo ma bare ka ye, zama ay ma bu ay bumbo kwaara ra, ay baabo d'ay nyaŋo saarayey do. Amma ma ni bannya Kimham guna. Nga din ma daŋandi koyo ay bonkoono banda. Ni ma te a se mo haŋ kaŋ ga kaan ni se.»
38And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
38 Bonkoono tu ka ne: «Kimham ga daŋandi ay banda, ay ga te a se mo haŋ kaŋ ni ga ba. Hay kulu mo kaŋ ni ga hã ay gaa, kal ay m'a te ni se.»
39And all the people went over the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
39 Borey kulu binde na Urdun daŋandi, bonkoono mo daŋandi. Bonkoono na Barzillay garbe sunsum, ka albarka gaara a se. Nga mo ye nga nango do.
40And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
40 Bonkoono binde daŋandi ka kaa Jilgal, Kimham mo daŋandi a banda. Yahuda jama kulu na bonkoono dum, nga nda Israyla jama jara mo.
41And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?
41 Guna mo, Israyla alborey kulu kaa bonkoono do. I ne a se: «Ifo se no iri nya-izey Yahuda alborey na ni zay? I na Urdun daŋandi nda bonkoono, da nga almayaaley, da Dawda alborey kulu a banda.»
42And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present?
42 Kala Yahuda alborey kulu tu Israyla alborey se ka ne: «Zama bonkoono ya iri dumi no kaŋ ga maan. Ifo se binde araŋ ga binya sanno din se? Iri na hay fo ŋwa bonkoono albarka ra no? Wala a n'iri no hay fo no?»
43And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.
43 Kala Israyla borey tu Yahuda borey se ka ne: «Iri gonda baa way bonkoono do. Iri wano baa da araŋ wano mo Dawda ra. Ifo se binde kaŋ araŋ ga donda iri? Manti iri no ga ti sintina iri bonkoono ye-ka-kande yaŋ ciine ra?» Yahuda borey sanno koroŋ ka bisa Israyla borey wano.
