“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
Context
19Daudi akaona kuwa watumishi wake wananongʼonezana wenyewe, naye akatambua kuwa mtoto alikuwa amekufa. Akauliza “Je, ni kwamba huyo mtoto amekufa?”
Wakamjibu, “Ndiyo, mtoto amekufa.” 20Basi Daudi akainuka kutoka pale sakafuni. Baada ya kuoga, akajipaka mafuta na kubadilisha nguo zake kisha akaenda ndani ya nyumba ya Bwana, akaabudu. Baada ya hapo akaenda nyumbani kwake kwa kutaka kwake, wakamwandalia chakula, naye akala. 21Watumishi wake wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini unafanya hivi? Mtoto alipokuwa angali hai, ulifunga na kulia; lakini sasa mtoto amekufa, umeinuka na kula.” 22Akajibu, “Wakati mtoto alipokuwa bado yungali hai, nilifunga na kulia. Nilifikiri, ‘Nani ajuaye? Bwana aweza kunirehemu ili kumwacha mtoto aishi.’ 23Lakini sasa kwa kuwa amekufa, kwa nini nifunge? Je, naweza kumrudisha tena? Mimi nitakwenda kwake, lakini yeye hatanirudia mimi.”
