1It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
1 Woodin banda Absalom na torkoyaŋ da bariyaŋ soola nga boŋ se, nda boro waygu kaŋ yaŋ ga zuru a jine.
2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
2 Absalom mo ga tun za da hinay ka kay birni meyo fonda jarga. A ciya mo, da boro fo gonda nga kalima sanni kaŋ a ga konda bonkoono do zama nga ma ciiti a se, kala Absalom ma bora ce ka ne: «Ni ya kwaara woofo boro no?» Kala nga mo ma ne: «Ay, ni bannya ya Israyla kunda ya-cine boro no.»
3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
3 Absalom mo ma ne bora se: «Guna, ni sanno ga boori, a gonda cimi mo, amma i mana boro kulu daŋ bonkoono do kaŋ ga maa ni se.»
4Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
4 Absalom ma ne koyne: «Ay! D'a ciya ay no i daŋ alkaali laabo ra, doŋ hala boro fo gonda kalima sanni wala ciiti, a ma kand'a ay do. Ay mo, doŋ ay ga cimi ciiti te a se!»
5It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
5 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ boro fo maan zama nga ma sombu a se, kala Absalom ma nga kambe salle ka bora di k'a garba sunsum.
6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
6 Yaadin no Absalom soobay ka te Israyla ra, boro kulu kaŋ ga ba ka koy bonkoono do ciiti ceeciyaŋ se. Yaadin mo no Absalom na Israyla alborey biney bare nd'a.
7It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
7 Jiiri taaci timmante banda, kala Absalom ne bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ay se ay ma koy Hebron k'ay sarti kaŋ ay sambu Rabbi se toonandi.
8For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”
8 Zama ay, ni bannya na sarti sambu za ay go Gesur, Suriya laabo ra, ka ne: hala day daahir Rabbi ye ka kande ay Urusalima, waato din gaa ay ga sududu Rabbi se.»
9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose, and went to Hebron.
9 Bonkoono ne a se: «Ma koy baani.» A binde tun ka koy Hebron.
10But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
10 Amma Absalom na ma-cararayaŋ daŋ Israyla kundey kulu ra ka ne: «Saaya kaŋ cine araŋ maa hilli karyaŋ, kal araŋ ma ne: ‹Absalom no ga ti bonkooni Hebron ra!.› »
11Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
11 Alboro zangu hinka mo fatta Urusalima birno ra Absalom banda kaŋ yaŋ i n'i ce no, amma jaŋ-ka-bay ra no i koy. I mana bay hay kulu gaa.
12Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
12 Absalom donton mo i ma Dawda saawarekasina Ahitofel, Jiloni bora ce nga kwaara ra, danga Jilo nooya, za a go sargay salleyaŋ gaa. Murteyaŋo mo go, a te gaabi, zama waati kulu borey kaŋ yaŋ ga kaa Absalom do go ga tonton day no.
13A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
13 Diya fo mo kaa Dawda do ka ne: «Israyla borey biney bare ka ye Absalom gaa.»
14David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
14 Dawda binde ne nga tamey kulu kaŋ go nga do Urusalima yaŋ se: «Wa tun, iri ma zuru, zama da manti yaadin no boro si no iri ra kaŋ ga yana ka fun Absalom kambe ra. Wa te diraw ciine, a ma si iri gar da waasi, a ma kaŋ iri boŋ da laala ka birno kar da takuba.»
15The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
15 Bonkoono tamey mo ne: «Guna, iri ni tamey go soolante. Iri ga te mo haŋ kaŋ bonkoono ga suuban.»
16The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
16 Bonkoono binde fatta, a almayaaley kulu mo n'a gana. Bonkoono na wayboro fooyaŋ naŋ, ngey boro way kaŋ wahayyaŋ no, zama i ma windo batu se.
17The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
17 Bonkoono fatta mo nga nda borey kulu a banda -- i simba kwaara windi kokoranta do haray.
18All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
18 A tamey kulu mo bisa a banda. Bonkoono doogarey kulu, Kerat sata da Pelet sata, da Jittancey kulu mo, i boro zangu iddu kaŋ yaŋ n'a gana za Gat, i go bonkoono jine.
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.
19 Gaa no bonkoono ne Ittay Jitti bora se: «Ifo se no ni mo goono ga kaa iri banda? Ma ye ka koy ka goro bonkoono banda, zama ni ya yaw no kaŋ zuru ka kaa iri do. Ma ye ka koy ni nango ra.
20Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
20 Za kaŋ bi maaniyo no ni kaa, hunkuna a boori ay ma ni daŋ ni ma koy-da-ye te iri banda, za kaŋ ay go ga koy naŋ kaŋ ay ga koy? Kala ni ma bare ka ye nin da ni nya-izey. Suuji nda cimi ma goro ni banda.»
21Ittai answered the king, and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be.”
21 Ittay mo tu bonkoono se ka ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono da koyo ay bonkoono fundo mo, haciika naŋ kaŋ koyo ay bonkoono bara, hala buuyaŋ se no wala fundi se no, ay, ni bannya mo ga bara noodin.»
22David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
22 Dawda ne Ittay se: «Ma koy ka daŋandi.» Kala Ittay Jittanca daŋandi, nga nda nga borey kulu da boro kayney kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda.
23All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
23 Laabo me-a-me mo hẽ da jinde beeri, borey kulu mo daŋandi. Bonkoono bumbo na Kidron gooro daŋandi. Jama kulu mo daŋandi ka koy saaji fonda gaa.
24Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people finished passing out of the city.
24 Zadok mo go, a kaa, nga nda Lawitey kulu nga banda. Irikoy sappa sundurko mo go i se ga jare. I na Irikoy sundurko jisi. Abiyatar mo ziji, kala jama kulu fatta birno ra ka ban.
25The king said to Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;
25 Bonkoono ne Zadok se: «Ma ye nda Irikoy sundurko birno ra. D'ay du gaakuri Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, a ga ye ka kande ay, a m'a cabe ay se, nga nd'a nangora kulu.
26but if he say thus, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
26 Amma d'a ne: ‹Ay si maa ni kaani,› -- guna, ay neeya neewo. A ma te ay se haŋ kaŋ ga kaan nga se.»
27The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
27 Bonkoono ne Alfa Zadok se: «Ni go ga di, wala? Kala ni ma ye birno ra baani. Araŋ ize hinka neeya ni banda, sanda ni ize Ahimaz, da ni ize Yonata, Abiyatar ize.
28Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.”
28 Guna, saajo furoyaŋo do no ay goono ga goro kayna hala sanni ma fun araŋ do ka kaa ka seeda ay se.»
29Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
29 Zadok da Abiyatar binde na Irikoy sundurko sambu ka kond'a Urusalima ka goro noodin.
30David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
30 Dawda mo kaaru Zeytun Tondi fonda boŋ haray. A ga kaaru, a ga hẽ, a boŋo go daabante, a go ga dira taamu si. Borey kulu kaŋ go a banda, i boŋey go daabanteyaŋ. I ga ziji ka koy, i ga hẽ.
31Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
31 Boro fo mo ci Dawda se ka ne: «Ahitofel mo go Absalom banda zamba saawara din ra.» Dawda mo ne: «Ya Rabbi, ma Ahitofel saawara bare a ma ciya saamotaray.»
32It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
32 Waato kaŋ Dawda na tudo kaaru, nango kaŋ i ga sududu Irikoy se, kala Husay, Arcita bora kaa ka Dawda kubay. A kwaayo go toorante, kusa mo go a boŋo boŋ.
33David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
33 Dawda mo ne a se: «Da ni bisa ay banda, ni ga ciya ay se jaraw,
34but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
34 amma da ni bare ka ye birno ra ka ne Absalom se: ‹Ya bonkoono, ay ga ciya ni bannya. Danga mate kaŋ cine ay goro ni baaba bannya jirbey kaŋ bisa ra, yaadin cine no sohõ mo ay ga ciya ni bannya.› Waato din gaa ni ga hin ka Ahitofel saawarey zeeri ay se.
35Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
35 Manti Zadok da Abiyatar go ni se noodin, ngey kaŋ alfagayaŋ no? A ga ciya binde hay kulu kaŋ ni ga maa bonkoono windo ra, kala ni ma ci alfagey se, Zadok nda Abiyatar.
36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.”
36 A go, noodin i banda, i gonda ngey ize alboro hinka, Ahimaz, Zadok ize, da Yonata, Abiyatar ize. I do no araŋ ga baaru kulu kaŋ araŋ ga maa samba ay se.»
37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
37 Husay, Dawda cora binde kaa ka furo kwaara ra. Absalom mo furo Urusalima ra.
