Obujeemu bwa Abusaalomu
15 (A)Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, Abusaalomu ne yeefunira amagaali, n’embalaasi, n’abasajja amakumi ataano okumukulemberangamu. 2 (B)Yagolokokanga mu makya n’ayimirira ku mabbali g’ekkubo okwolekera wankaaki w’ekibuga. Omuntu yenna bwe yabanga n’ensonga gye yaleeteranga kabaka okulamula, Abusaalomu yamuyitanga n’amubuuza nti, “Oviira mu kibuga ki?” Bwe yaddangamu nti, “Omuddu wo aviira mu kimu ku bika bya Isirayiri,” 3 (C)Abusaalomu n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Laba, ensonga ntuufu era etegeerekeka, naye tewali muntu anaagikulamulira.” 4 (D)Ate era Abusaalomu yayongerangako ne kino nti, “Singa nnondebwa okuba omukulembeze mu nsi, olwo buli muntu alina ensonga anajjanga gye ndi, ne mukolera ku nsonga ye.”
5 Ate era omuntu yenna eyajjanga n’amuvuunamira ng’amuwa ekitiibwa, yagololanga omukono gwe, n’amukwatako n’amunywegera ng’amulamusa. 6 (E)Bw’atyo Abusaalomu bwe yeeyisanga eri Abayisirayiri bonna abajjanga eri kabaka nga baagala okubalamulira ensonga zaabwe. Ekyavaamu n’abba emitima gy’abantu ba Isirayiri.
7 Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka ena, Abusaalomu n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde, nzikiriza ŋŋende e Kebbulooni, ntuukirize obweyamo bwange bwe nakola eri Mukama. 8 (F)Omuweereza wo bwe yabeeranga e Gesuli mu Busuuli, nakola obweyamo nga ŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama bw’alinzizaayo e Yerusaalemi, ndisinza Mukama.’ ” 9 Kabaka n’amuddamu nti, “Ggenda mirembe.” N’asitula n’alaga e Kebbulooni.
10 (G)Abusaalomu n’atuma ababaka kyama mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, babagambe nti, “Amangwago nga muwulidde okuvuga kw’amakondeere, mwogere nti, ‘Abusaalomu ye kabaka e Kebbulooni.’ ” 11 Abasajja ebikumi bibiri be baawerekera Abusaalomu oluvannyuma olw’okuyitibwa ng’abagenyi, songa tebaalina kye baamanya ku nsonga eyo. 12 (H)Mu kiseera ekyo, Abusaalomu bwe yali ng’awaayo ssaddaaka, n’atumya Akisoferi[a] Omugiro, omuwi w’amagezi owa Dawudi, okuva mu kibuga ky’e Giro. Obujeemu ne bwongerwamu amaanyi n’abagoberezi ba Abusaalomu ne beeyongeranga obungi.
13 Omubaka n’ajja n’ategeeza Dawudi nti, “Emitima gy’abantu ba Isirayiri gigoberedde Abusaalomu.”
14 (I)Awo Dawudi n’agamba abakungu be bonna abaali naye e Yerusaalemi nti, “Mugolokoke tudduke kubanga bwe tutaakole bwe tutyo tewaabeewo n’omu ku ffe anaawona Abusaalomu. Tuteekwa okuvaawo amangu nga bwe kisoboka, aleme okutusaangiriza wano okusaanyaawo ekibuga n’ekitala.” 15 Abakungu ba kabaka ne bamuddamu nti, “Abaddu bo beetegefu okukola kyonna, mukama waffe kabaka ky’anaaba asazeewo.”
16 (J)Awo Kabaka n’asitula n’ennyumba ye yonna ne bamugoberera, naye n’alekawo abakyala be kkumi okulabirira olubiri. 17 Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaagenda naye, bwe baatambulako akabanga, ne batuuka mu kifo ekimu ewalako n’olubiri ne bayimirira awo. 18 (K)Abasajja be bonna ne bamukulemberamu, n’Abakeresi bonna n’Abaperesi bonna, n’Abagitti olukaaga bonna abaali bamugoberedde okuva e Gaasi ne bakumba nga bamukulembeddemu.
19 (L)Awo kabaka n’agamba Ittayi Omugitti nti, “Lwaki otugoberera? Ddayo obeere ne kabaka Abusaalomu. Oli munnaggwanga eyagobebwa ewaabwe. 20 (M)Wajja jjuuzi. Lwaki leero nkutambuza eno n’eri, nga ssinamanya gye ndaga? Ddayo n’abantu bo. Ekisa n’emirembe bibeerenga naawe.”
21 (N)Naye Ittayi n’addamu kabaka nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, era mukama wange kabaka nga bw’ali omulamu, buli mukama wange kabaka gy’anaagendanga, oba bulamu oba kufa, omuddu wo anaabeeranga wamu naawe.”
22 Dawudi n’agamba Ittayi nti, “Kale yitawo ogende mu maaso.” Awo Ittayi Omugitti n’abasajja be bonna n’abantu baabwe abaali naye ne bayitawo. 23 (O)Ab’omu byalo bonna ne bakaaba nnyo bwe baalaba abantu nga bayitawo. Kabaka naye n’asomoka akagga Kidulooni, abantu bonna ne bayitawo ne boolekera eddungu.
24 (P)Zadooki awamu n’Abaleevi bonna abaali awamu naye, abaasitulanga essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, baagenda ne kabaka. Essanduuko ya Katonda ne bagissa wansi, Abiyasaali naye n’ayambuka okuwaayo ssaddaaka okutuusa abantu bonna bwe baggwa mu kibuga.
25 (Q)Awo kabaka n’agamba Zadooki nti, “Zzaayo essanduuko ya Katonda mu kibuga. Bwe ndiraba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama, alinkomyawo, ne ngirabako n’ekifo Mukama ky’abeeramu. 26 (R)Naye bw’alisalawo nti, ‘Ssiri musanyufu naawe,’ ndimweteefuteefu ankole nga bw’asiima.”
27 (S)Ate era kabaka n’agamba Zadooki nti, “Toli mulabi? Ddayo mu kibuga mirembe, ne mutabani wo Akimaazi ne mutabani wa Abiyasaali, Yonasaani. Ggwe ne Abiyasaali muddeeyo ne batabani bammwe. 28 (T)Ndirindirira ekigambo ekiriva gye muli, we tulisomokera okulaga mu ddungu.” 29 Awo Zadooki ne Abiyasaali ne bazzaayo essanduuko ya Katonda e Yerusaalemi ne basigala eyo.
30 (U)Naye Dawudi n’alinnyalinnya n’alaga ku lusozi olw’Emizeeyituuni ng’akaaba, n’omutwe ng’agubisse era ng’ali mu bigere[b]. Abantu bonna abaali awamu naye nabo baali beebisse emitwe era nga bakaaba. 31 (V)Dawudi n’ategeezebwa nti, “Akisoferi ali omu ku abo abeekobaana ne Abusaalomu.” Dawudi n’asaba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda nkwegayiridde, fuula amagezi ga Akisoferi obusirusiru.”
32 (W)Awo Dawudi bwe yatuuka ku ntikko y’olusozi, abantu gye baasinzizanga Katonda, Kusaayi Omwaluki[c] yaliyo okumusisinkana, ekkooti ye ng’eyulise n’omutwe gwe nga gujjudde enfuufu. 33 (X)Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Bw’onoogenda nange ojja kunfuukira ekizibu. 34 (Y)Naye bw’onoddayo mu kibuga, n’ogamba Abusaalomu nti, ‘Ndibeera omuddu wo, ayi kabaka; nga bwe naweerezanga kitaawo mu biro eby’edda, bwe ntyo bwe nnaakuweerezanga,’ onooba ombedde mu nsonga ey’okulemesa Akisoferi, afuuse omuwi w’amagezi owa Abusaalomu. 35 (Z)Zadooki ne Abiyasaali tebaliiyo? Kale bategeeze ekigambo kyonna ky’onoowulira mu lubiri. 36 (AA)Batabani baabwe ababiri, Akimaazi mutabani wa Zadooki ne Yonasaani mutabani wa Abiyasaali nabo bali eyo, era abo boonoontumiranga bwe wanaabangawo ensonga yonna.”
37 (AB)Awo Kusaayi mukwano gwa Dawudi n’atuuka e Yerusaalemi, nga Abusaalomu ayingira ekibuga.
2 Samuel 15
21st Century King James Version
15 And it came to pass after this that Absalom prepared himself chariots and horses and fifty men to run before him.
2 And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so that, when any man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him and said, “Of what city art thou?” And he said, “Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 And Absalom said unto him, “See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear thee.”
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh, that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!”
5 And it was so that, when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.
6 And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, “I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed unto the Lord in Hebron.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”
9 And the king said unto him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, ‘Absalom reigneth in Hebron.’”
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem who were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 And David said unto all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee, for we shall not else escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, “Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.”
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18 And all 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.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, “Why goest thou also with us? Return to thy place and abide with the king, for thou art a stranger and also an exile.
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? Seeing I go whither I may, return thou and take back thy brethren. Mercy and truth be with thee.”
21 And Ittai answered the king and said, “As the Lord liveth and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.”
22 And David said to Ittai, “Go, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
23 And all 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.
24 And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites were 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 had passed out of the city.
25 And the king said unto Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favor in the eyes of the Lord, He will bring me back, and show me both it and His habitation.
26 But if He thus say, ‘I have no delight in thee,’ behold, here am I. Let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him.”
27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, “Art not thou a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness until there come word from you to assure me.”
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they tarried there.
30 And David went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet, 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.
31 And one told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray Thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 And it came to pass, when David had come to the top of the mount where he worshiped God, that, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head;
33 unto whom David said, “If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me;
34 but if thou return to the city and say unto Absalom, ‘I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant,’ then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? Therefore it shall be that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye can hear.”
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 15
New King James Version
Absalom’s Treason
15 After this (A)it happened that Absalom (B)provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a (C)lawsuit[a] came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “What city are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel.” 3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your [b]case is good and right; but there is no [c]deputy of the king to hear you.” 4 Moreover Absalom would say, (D)“Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.” 5 And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and (E)kiss him. 6 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. (F)So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Now it came to pass (G)after [d]forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please, let me go to (H)Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the Lord. 8 (I)For your servant (J)took a vow (K)while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the Lord indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’ ”
9 And the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 Then 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 (L)reigns in Hebron!’ ” 11 And with Absalom went two hundred men (M)invited from Jerusalem, and they (N)went along innocently and did not know anything. 12 Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, (O)David’s counselor, from his city—from (P)Giloh—while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom (Q)continually increased in number.
David Escapes from Jerusalem
13 Now a messenger came to David, saying, (R)“The hearts of the men of Israel are [e]with Absalom.”
14 So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us (S)flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 And the king’s servants said to the king, “We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands.” 16 Then (T)the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left (U)ten women, concubines, to keep the house. 17 And the king went out with all the people after him, and stopped at the outskirts. 18 Then all his servants passed [f]before him; (V)and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, (W)six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.
19 Then the king said to (X)Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king. For you are a foreigner and also an exile from your own place. 20 In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go (Y)I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21 But Ittai answered the king and said, (Z)“As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also your servant will be.”
22 So David said to Ittai, “Go, and cross over.” Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over. 23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people crossed over. The king himself also crossed over the Brook Kidron, and all the people crossed over toward the way of the (AA)wilderness.
24 There was (AB)Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the (AC)ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and (AD)Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city. 25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, He (AE)will bring me back and show me both it and (AF)His dwelling place. 26 But if He says thus: ‘I have no (AG)delight in you,’ here I am, (AH)let Him do to me as seems good to Him.” 27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a (AI)seer?[g] Return to the city in peace, and (AJ)your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, (AK)I will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem. And they remained there.
30 So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he (AL)had his head covered and went (AM)barefoot. And all the people who were with him (AN)covered their heads and went up, (AO)weeping as they went up. 31 Then someone told David, saying, (AP)“Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, (AQ)turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
32 Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the (AR)Archite coming to meet him (AS)with his robe torn and dust on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become (AT)a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, (AU)‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me. 35 And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall tell to (AV)Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36 Indeed they have there (AW)with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear.”
37 So Hushai, (AX)David’s friend, went into the city. (AY)And Absalom came into Jerusalem.

King James Version
15 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, in Hebron.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.
9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 And all 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.
24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were 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 had done passing out of the city.
25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
30 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
32 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
