1 Wafalme 2

1 Daudi alipokaribia kufa, alimwamuru Sulemani mwanae, akisema,

καὶ ἤγγισαν αἱ ἡμέραι Δαυιδ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ Σαλωμων υἱῷ αὐτοῦ λέγων

2 “Mimi sasa ninaiendea njia ya dunia yote. Kwa hiyo, uwe imara, na ujionyeshe mwenyewe kama mwanamume. Uzilinde amri za BWANA, Mungu wako ukitembea katika njia zake, utii maaagizo yake, amari zake,

ἐγώ εἰμι πορεύομαι ἐν ὁδῷ πάσης τῆς γῆς καὶ ἰσχύσεις καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς ἄνδρα

3 maamuzi yake, na maagizo ya maagano yake, uwe mwamngalifu kufanya yale yaliyoandikwa katika sheria za Musa, ili ufanikiwe katika yote utakayoyafanya, popote kule utakakokuwa,

καὶ φυλάξεις τὴν φυλακὴν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν νόμῳ Μωυσέως ἵνα συνίῃς ἃ ποιήσεις κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι

4 na BWANA atayatimiza maneno yake aliyosema kuhusu mimi, aliposema, 'kama wanao watajilinda katika tabia zao, wakatembea mbele yangu kwa uaminifu kwa mioyo yao yote na kwa roho zao zote, hawatakoma kuwa na mtu aliyeketi katika kiti cha enzi cha Israeli.

ἵνα στήσῃ κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ὃν ἐλάλησεν λέγων ἐὰν φυλάξωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν πορεύεσθαι ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν λέγων οὐκ ἐξολεθρευθήσεταί σοι ἀνὴρ ἐπάνωθεν θρόνου Ισραηλ

5 Wewe pia wajua kile Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alichonifanyia, na kile alichowafnyia majemedari wa majeshi y a Israeli, kwa Abina mwana wa Neri, na kwa Amasa mwana wa Yetheri, ambaye alimwua. Alimwaga damu vitani wakati wa amani na kuiweka ile damu kwenye mshipi uliokuwa kiunoni mwake na kwenye vile viatu miguuni mwake.

καί γε σὺ ἔγνως ὅσα ἐποίησέν μοι Ιωαβ υἱὸς Σαρουιας ὅσα ἐποίησεν τοῖς δυσὶν ἄρχουσιν τῶν δυνάμεων Ισραηλ τῷ Αβεννηρ υἱῷ Νηρ καὶ τῷ Αμεσσαϊ υἱῷ Ιεθερ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔταξεν τὰ αἵματα πολέμου ἐν εἰρήνῃ καὶ ἔδωκεν αἷμα ἀθῷον ἐν τῇ ζώνῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ ὑποδήματι αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐν τῷ ποδὶ αὐτοῦ

6 Mshughulikie Yoabu kwa hekima ambayo umejifunza, lakini usiache mvi zake ziingie kaburini kwa amani. (Sheol h7585)

καὶ ποιήσεις κατὰ τὴν σοφίαν σου καὶ οὐ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ εἰς ᾅδου (Sheol h7585)

7 Hata hivyo, uonyeshe utu kwa wana wa Barizilai Mgileadi, na uwaache wawe miongoni mwa wale wanaokula mezani kwako, kwa kuwa walikuja kwangu wakati nilipomkimbia ndugu yangu Absalomu.

καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Βερζελλι τοῦ Γαλααδίτου ποιήσεις ἔλεος καὶ ἔσονται ἐν τοῖς ἐσθίουσιν τὴν τράπεζάν σου ὅτι οὕτως ἤγγισάν μοι ἐν τῷ με ἀποδιδράσκειν ἀπὸ προσώπου Αβεσσαλωμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου

8 Tazama, Shimei mwana wa Gera yuko pamoja na wewe, Wabenjamini wa Bahurimu, walionilaani kwa laana ya fujo siku niliyoenda kwa Mahanaimu. Shimei alishuka kuja kuniona pale Yorodani, na nikamwapia kwa BWANA, nikisema, 'Sitawaua kwa upanga,'

καὶ ἰδοὺ μετὰ σοῦ Σεμεϊ υἱὸς Γηρα υἱὸς τοῦ Ιεμενι ἐκ Βαουριμ καὶ αὐτὸς κατηράσατό με κατάραν ὀδυνηρὰν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην εἰς παρεμβολάς καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη εἰς ἀπαντήν μου εἰς τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ ὤμοσα αὐτῷ ἐν κυρίῳ λέγων εἰ θανατώσω σε ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ

9 Kwa hiyo sasa usimwache aiepuke adhabu. Wewe ni mwenye hekima, na utajua jinsi itakavyokupasa kumtendea. Utakileta hicho kichwa chenye mvi chini kaburini.” (Sheol h7585)

καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθῳώσῃς αὐτόν ὅτι ἀνὴρ σοφὸς εἶ σὺ καὶ γνώσῃ ἃ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ καὶ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵματι εἰς ᾅδου (Sheol h7585)

10 Ndipo Daudi alipolala na mababu zake na alizikwa kwenye mji wa Daudi.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Δαυιδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ

11 Siku ambazo Daudi alitwala Israeli zilikuwani miaka arobaini. Alikuwa ametawala kwa miaka saba kule Hebroni na kwa miaka thelethini na tatu kule Yerusalemu.

καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς ἐβασίλευσεν Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐν Χεβρων ἐβασίλευσεν ἔτη ἑπτὰ καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τριάκοντα τρία ἔτη

12 Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha baba yake Daudi, na utawala wake ulikuwa imara.

καὶ Σαλωμων ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ υἱὸς ἐτῶν δώδεκα καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ σφόδρα

13 Kisha Adoniya mwana wa Hagathi alikuja kwa Bathisheba mama wa Sulemani., Naye akamwuliza, “Je, unakuja kwa amani?” Naye akajiibu. “kwa amani.”

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Αδωνιας υἱὸς Αγγιθ πρὸς Βηρσαβεε μητέρα Σαλωμων καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῇ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ἡ εἴσοδός σου καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη

14 Kisha akasema, “Nina jambo la kukuambia.” Naye akajibu, “Sema.”

λόγος μοι πρὸς σέ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ λάλησον

15 Adoniya amesema, “Unajua kuwa ufalme ulikuwa wangu, na kwamba Israeli yote ilikuwa inanitegemea mimi kuwa mfalme. Hata hivyo, ufalme umegeuzwa na umekuwa wa ndugu yangu, kwani ulikuwa wake toka kwa BWANA.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ σὺ οἶδας ὅτι ἐμοὶ ἦν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἔθετο πᾶς Ισραηλ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα καὶ ἐστράφη ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἐγενήθη τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου ἐγένετο αὐτῷ

16 Sasa nina ombi moja kwako. Usinikatalie.”Bathisheba akamwambia, “Sema.”

καὶ νῦν αἴτησιν μίαν ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βηρσαβεε λάλει

17 Naye akamwambia, “Tafadhali mwambie mfalme Sulemani, kwa kuwa hatakukatalia, ili kwamba anipatie Abishagi Mshunami awe mke wangu.”

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς Σαλωμων τὸν βασιλέα ὅτι οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ δώσει μοι τὴν Αβισακ τὴν Σωμανῖτιν εἰς γυναῖκα

18 Bathisheba akamwambia, “Vyema sana, nitamwambia mfalme”

καὶ εἶπεν Βηρσαβεε καλῶς ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ τῷ βασιλεῖ

19 Kwa hiyo Bathisheba akaenda kumwambia, mfalme Sulemani kwa niaba ya Adoniya. Mfalme akainuka kumlaki na akapiga magoti mbele yake. Kisha akaa kwenye kiti chake cha enzi na kulikuwa na kiti kingine cha enzi kilicholetwa kwa ajili ya mama wa mfalme. Naye akaa mkono wa kuume wa mfalme.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Βηρσαβεε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ περὶ Αδωνιου καὶ ἐξανέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῇ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτέθη θρόνος τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ

20 Ndipo alipomwambia, “Napenda kukuomba ombi moja dogo. Usinikalie.” Mfalme, akamjibu, “Mama omba kwa kuwa sitakukatalia.”

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ αἴτησιν μίαν μικρὰν ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς αἴτησαι μῆτερ ἐμή ὅτι οὐκ ἀποστρέψω σε

21 Naya akamwambia, “Naomba Abishagi Mshunami apewe Adoniya ndugu yako awe mke wake.”

καὶ εἶπεν δοθήτω δὲ Αβισακ ἡ Σωμανῖτις τῷ Αδωνια τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου εἰς γυναῖκα

22 Mfalme Sulemani akamjibu mama yake, “Kwa nini unamwombea Adoniya huyo Abishagi Mshunami? Kwa nini usimwombee ufalme pia, kwa kuwa ni ndugu yangu mkubwa? - au kwa Abiathari kuhani, au Yoabu mwana wa Seruya?”

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαλωμων ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἵνα τί σὺ ᾔτησαι τὴν Αβισακ τῷ Αδωνια καὶ αἴτησαι αὐτῷ τὴν βασιλείαν ὅτι οὗτος ἀδελφός μου ὁ μέγας ὑπὲρ ἐμέ καὶ αὐτῷ Αβιαθαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ αὐτῷ Ιωαβ ὁ υἱὸς Σαρουιας ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος ἑταῖρος

23 Kisha mfalme Sulemani akaapa kwa BWANA, akisema, “Mungu wangu na anifanyie hivyo, na zaidi pia, kama Adoniya hajayasema haya kinyume na maisha yake.

καὶ ὤμοσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου λέγων τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη ὅτι κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐλάλησεν Αδωνιας τὸν λόγον τοῦτον

24 Sasa basi kama BWANA aishivyo, ambaye ndiye alinifanya mimi kuwepo na kunipa kiti cha enzi cha Daudi baba yangu, na ambaye amenifanyia nyumba kwa ahadi yake, hakika Adoniya lazima auawe leo.”

καὶ νῦν ζῇ κύριος ὃς ἡτοίμασέν με καὶ ἔθετό με ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησέν μοι οἶκον καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ὅτι σήμερον θανατωθήσεται Αδωνιας

25 Kwa hiyo mfalme Sulemani akamtuma Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada naye akamkuta Adoniya na kumwua.

καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Σαλωμων ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν χειρὶ Βαναιου υἱοῦ Ιωδαε καὶ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτόν καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αδωνιας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ

26 Kisha akamwambia Abiathari kuhani, “Nenda kwa Anathothi, kwenye mashamba yako. unastahili kufa, lakini sitakua sasa hivi, kwa sababu ulilbeba sanduku la BWANA mbele ya Daudi baba yangu na kujitabisha kwa namna mbalimbali kama baba yangu alivyopata tabu.”

καὶ τῷ Αβιαθαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἀπότρεχε σὺ εἰς Αναθωθ εἰς ἀγρόν σου ὅτι ἀνὴρ θανάτου εἶ σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ καὶ οὐ θανατώσω σε ὅτι ἦρας τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ὅτι ἐκακουχήθης ἐν ἅπασιν οἷς ἐκακουχήθη ὁ πατήρ μου

27 Kwa hiyo Sulemani akamfukuza Abiathari asiwe kuhani wa BWANA, ili kwamba atimilize maneno ya BWANA, aliyokuwa amesema juu ya nyumba ya Eli.

καὶ ἐξέβαλεν Σαλωμων τὸν Αβιαθαρ τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἱερέα τοῦ κυρίου πληρωθῆναι τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ηλι ἐν Σηλωμ

28 Habari hizo zikamfikia Yoabu, Kwani Yoabu alimuunga mkono Adoniya, ingawa hakumuunga mkono Absalomu. Kwa hiyo Yoabu akakimbilia kwenye hema ya BWANA karibu na madhabahu na akabeba pembe za madhabahu.

καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθεν ἕως Ιωαβ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σαρουιας ὅτι Ιωαβ ἦν κεκλικὼς ὀπίσω Αδωνιου καὶ ὀπίσω Σαλωμων οὐκ ἔκλινεν καὶ ἔφυγεν Ιωαβ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατέσχεν τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου

29 Sulemani alipoambiwa kuwa Yoabu amekimbilia kwenye hema ya BWANA na sasa alikuwa karibu na madhabahu. Ndipo Sulemani alipomtuma Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, akisema, “Nenda, ukamwue.”

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμων λέγοντες ὅτι ἔφυγεν Ιωαβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἰδοὺ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαλωμων πρὸς Ιωαβ λέγων τί γέγονέν σοι ὅτι πέφευγας εἰς τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ ὅτι ἐφοβήθην ἀπὸ προσώπου σου καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαλωμων ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βαναιου υἱὸν Ιωδαε λέγων πορεύου καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν καὶ θάψον αὐτόν

30 Kwa hiyo Benaya akaenda kwenye hema ya BWANA na kumwambia, “Mfalme anasema utoke hemani.” Yoabu akamjibu, “Hapana, Nitafia hapa,” Kwa hiyo Benaya akarudi kwa mfalme, akasema, “Yoabu amesema atafia kwenye madhabahu,”

καὶ ἦλθεν Βαναιου υἱὸς Ιωδαε πρὸς Ιωαβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς ἔξελθε καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ οὐκ ἐκπορεύομαι ὅτι ὧδε ἀποθανοῦμαι καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Βαναιας υἱὸς Ιωδαε καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγων τάδε λελάληκεν Ιωαβ καὶ τάδε ἀποκέκριταί μοι

31 Naye mfalme akamwambia, “Kafanye kama alivyosema. Muue na ukamzike, ili kwamba uitoe kwangu na kwenye nyumba ya baba yangu damu ambayo Yoabu alimwaga bila sababu.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς πορεύου καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ καθὼς εἴρηκεν καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν καὶ θάψεις αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξαρεῖς σήμερον τὸ αἷμα ὃ δωρεὰν ἐξέχεεν Ιωαβ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου

32 BWANA na amrudishie damu yake kichwani kwake, kwa sababu aliwaua wanaume wawili wasio na hatia na wema kuliko yeye na akawaua kwa upanga, Abineri mwana wa Neri, Jemedari wa Jeshi la Israeli, na Amasa mwana wa Jetheri, jemedari wa jeshi la Yuda, bila baba yangu Daudi kujua.

καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν κύριος τὸ αἷμα τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀπήντησεν τοῖς δυσὶν ἀνθρώποις τοῖς δικαίοις καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου Δαυιδ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν τὸν Αβεννηρ υἱὸν Νηρ ἀρχιστράτηγον Ισραηλ καὶ τὸν Αμεσσα υἱὸν Ιεθερ ἀρχιστράτηγον Ιουδα

33 Kwa hiyo damu yao na imrudie Yoabu kichwani pake na kwenye vichwa vya uzao wake milele na milele. Lakini kwa Daudi na uzao wake, na nyumba yake, na kwenye kiti chake cha enzi, kuwe na amani ya kudumu kutoka kwa BWANA.”

καὶ ἐπεστράφη τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ γένοιτο εἰρήνη ἕως αἰῶνος παρὰ κυρίου

34 Kisha Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada akaenda akamvamia Yoabu na kumwua. Alizikwa kwenye nyumba yake kule jangwani.

καὶ ἀπήντησεν Βαναιου υἱὸς Ιωδαε τῷ Ιωαβ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

35 Mfalme akamwinua Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada kuwa juu ya jeshi badala yake, na akamweka Sadoki kuhani kwenye nafasi ya Abiatahari.

καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βαναιου υἱὸν Ιωδαε ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν στρατηγίαν καὶ ἡ βασιλεία κατωρθοῦτο ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὸν Σαδωκ τὸν ἱερέα ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς ἱερέα πρῶτον ἀντὶ Αβιαθαρ

36 Kisha Mfalme akatuma watu kumwita Shimei, na akamwambia, “Kajijengee nyumba kwa ajili yako kule Yerusalemu na ushi huko, na usitoke nje ya Huo mji na kwenda mahali pengine.

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σεμεϊ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ οἰκοδόμησον σεαυτῷ οἶκον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ κάθου ἐκεῖ καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἐκεῖθεν οὐδαμοῦ

37 Kwa kuwa siku utakayoenda mahali pengine, na kupita bonde la Kidroni, ujue kwa hakika kuwa utakufa. Damu yako itakuwa juu ya kichwa chako.”

καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐξόδου σου καὶ διαβήσῃ τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρων γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ τὸ αἷμά σου ἔσται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου καὶ ὥρκισεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ

38 Kwa hiyo Shimei akamwambia mfalme, “Unachosema ni chema. Kama vike mfalme bwana wangu alivyosema, ndivyo ambavyo mtumishi wako atakavyofanya.” Kwa hiyo Shimei akaishi Yerusalemu kwa miaka mingi.

καὶ εἶπεν Σεμεϊ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἀγαθὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ οὕτω ποιήσει ὁ δοῦλός σου καὶ ἐκάθισεν Σεμεϊ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τρία ἔτη

39 Lakiini mwishoni mwa mwaka wa tatu, watumishi wawili wa Shimei wakakimbilia kwa Akishi mwana wa Maaka, mfalme wa Gathi. Kwa hiyo wakamwambia Shimei, wakisema, “Tazama, watumishi wako wameenda Gathi,”

καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέδρασαν δύο δοῦλοι τοῦ Σεμεϊ πρὸς Αγχους υἱὸν Μααχα βασιλέα Γεθ καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σεμεϊ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐν Γεθ

40 Kisha Shimei akainuka, akapanda punda wake akaenda kwa Akishi huko Gathi kuwatafuta watumishi wake. Akaenda na akawaleta watumishi wake toka Gathi.

καὶ ἀνέστη Σεμεϊ καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γεθ πρὸς Αγχους τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σεμεϊ καὶ ἤγαγεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γεθ

41 Sulemani alipoambiwa kuwa Shimei alikuwa ametoka Yerusalemu kwenda Gathi na amerudi,

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμων λέγοντες ὅτι ἐπορεύθη Σεμεϊ ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ εἰς Γεθ καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ

42 mfalme akatuma wito kwa Shimei na kumwambia, “Je, sikukuapisha kwa BWANA na kushuhudia kwako, nikisema, 'Tambua kuwa siku utakayotoka kwenda nje na kwenda mahali popote, hakika utakufa'? Na ukaniambia kuwa unachosema ni chema.'

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν Σεμεϊ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐχὶ ὥρκισά σε κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπεμαρτυράμην σοι λέγων ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐξέλθῃς ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ πορευθῇς εἰς δεξιὰ ἢ εἰς ἀριστερά γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ

43 Kwa nini basi umeshindwa kulinda kiapo chako kwa BWANA na amri niliyokupa?”

καὶ τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὸν ὅρκον κυρίου καὶ τὴν ἐντολήν ἣν ἐνετειλάμην κατὰ σοῦ

44 Pia mfalme akamwambia Shimei, “Unajua katika moyo wako maovu yote uliyofanya kwa baba yangu Daudi. Kwa hiyo BWANA atakurudishia maovu yako kichwani pako.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεμεϊ σὺ οἶδας πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν σου ἣν ἔγνω ἡ καρδία σου ἃ ἐποίησας τῷ Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου καὶ ἀνταπέδωκεν κύριος τὴν κακίαν σου εἰς κεφαλήν σου

45 Lakini Sulemani atabarikiwa na enzi ya Daudi itaimarika mbele ya BWANA milele.”

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ηὐλογημένος καὶ ὁ θρόνος Δαυιδ ἔσται ἕτοιμος ἐνώπιον κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

46 Kwa hiyo mfalme akamwamuru Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada kwenda kumwua Shimei. Kwa hiyo ule utawala ulikuwa mwema kwa mkono wa Sulemain.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων τῷ Βαναια υἱῷ Ιωδαε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτόν καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων φρόνιμος σφόδρα
