2 Sa:miuele 17
1 Amogalu, Ahidoufele da A: basalomema amane sia: , “Na da dunu 12,000 agoane ilegele, wali gasia Da: ibidima doagala: musa: bobogema: ne sia: ma.
Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set off in pursuit of David tonight.
2 E da helebeba: le amola da: i dioiba: le, na da hedolo ema doagala: le, ea dunu huluane da hobeamu. Amasea, na da hina bagade fawane fane legemu.
I'll attack him while he is tired and weak. I'll catch him by surprise and all his men will run away. I'll only kill the king
3 Amasea, na da ea dunu huluane dima oule misunu. Ilia da uda hobeale asili bu fila mabe amo defele bu manebe ba: mu. Dunu afae fawane fane legemu da defea. Eno huluane da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.”
and bring everybody else back to you. When everybody returns apart from the one man you're after, the whole country will be at peace.”
4 A: basalome amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu huluane da amo fada: i sia: hahawane nabi.
This plan looked good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
5 A: basalome da amane sia: i, “Wali Hiusiai amo misa: ne wele sia: ma. Ninia da ea sia: nabimu.”
But then Absalom said, “Call in Hushai the Archite too, and let's hear what he's got to say as well.”
6 Hiusiai da doaga: loba, A:basalome da ema amane sia: i, “Ahidoufele da ninima amo fada: i sia: sia: i. Ninia amo sia: fa: no bobogema: bela: ? O amai hame galea, dia ninima logo olelema.”
When Hushai came in, Absalom, asked him, “Ahithophel has recommended this plan. Should we go ahead with it? If not, what's your suggestion?”
7 Hiusiai da bu adole i, “Fada: i sia: amo Ahidoufele da wali dilima i, amo da noga: i hame.
“For once Ahithophel's advice isn't good,” Hushai replied.
8 Dilia dawa: ! Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da nimi bagade gegesu dunu. Dunu da ‘bea’ emega ea mano wamolasea, ‘bea’ da ougi bagade ba: sa. Amo defele, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da ougi bagade gala. Dia ada da bagade dawa: su dadi gagui dunu. E da gasia ea dunu amo gilisili hame ouesala.
“You know what your father and his men are like. They're great fighters, and now they're as furious as a she-bear robbed of her cubs. In any case, your father is experienced in military tactics, and he won't spend the night with his men.
9 Amabela: ? E da wahadafa magufu gelabo o eno sogebi amo ganodini wamo aligili esalabala? Da: ibidi da dia dunu doagala: sea, amola nowa da amo sia: nabasea, Da: ibidi da dia dunu hasali dagoi, amo sia: mu.
Right now he's holed up in a cave or some place like that. If he attacks first and some of your men are killed, people who hear about it will say, ‘Absalom's men are being slaughtered.’
10 Amasea, Isala: ili nimi bagade gegesu dunu, amo da laione wa: me defele beda: su hame dawa: , ilia amola da beda: igia: mu. Bai Isala: ili dunu huluanedafa da dia ada da dadi gagui dunu noga: idafa, amola ea dunu da nimi bagade gegesu dunu, amo ilia da dawa: mu.
Then even the bravest soldier who has the heart of a lion will be scared to death, because everyone in Israel knows that your father is a powerful man who has brave men with him.
11 Na fada: i sia: da agoane. Di Isala: ili dunu huluanedafa, soge bega: asili eno bega: doaga: le, huluane lidili gegedoma. Ilia da sa: i hano wayabo bagade bega: gala, amo ea su idi agoane ba: mu. Amola disu bisili, ilima gegemusa: oule masa.
My recommendation is that you call up the entire Israelite army from Dan to Beersheba—an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore! Once they've assembled, then you yourself lead them into battle!
12 Ninia Da: ibidi ea esalebe sogebi hogolalu, e da nini mabe ea mae ba: le, e doagala: mu. E amola ea dunu huluanedafa da fane legei dagoi ba: mu.
Then we'll attack David wherever he is, and we'll fall on him as dew falls on the ground. Neither he nor a single one of all the men with him will be left alive!
13 E da hobeale, moilai bai bagade ganodini golili dasea, ninia dunu da amoga efe gaguli asili, amo moilai bai bagade, fago hagudu gala amoga hiougili gudumu. Amo moilai bai bagade ea musa: dialebe sogebi agolo da: iya, amoga igi afae dialebe hame ba: mu.”
If he tries to find protection in a town, all of Israel will bring ropes to that town, and we will pull it down into the valley so that not even a stone will be left.”
14 A: basalome amola Isala: ili dunu huluane da amane sia: i, “Hiusiai ea fada: i sia: i da noga: i amola Ahidoufele ea sia: i baligisa.” Hina Gode da A: basalome amola Isala: ili dunu ilia da Ahidoufele ea fada: i sia: noga: i amoma mae fa: no bobogema: ne ilegei. Bai E da A: basalome dafama: ne logo hamoi.
Absalom and all the Israelite leaders said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” For the Lord had decided to block Ahithophel's good advice in order that he might bring disaster on Absalom.
15 Amalalu, Hiusiai da gobele salasu dunu Sa: idoge amola Abaia: da elama fada: i sia: e da A: basalome amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunuma i, amola fada: i sia: amo Ahidoufele ea i, amo elama olelei.
Hushai spoke to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, and told them, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the Israelite leaders to act in one way, but I have advised them to act in this different way.
16 Hiusiai da eno amane sia: i, “Hadiga! Da: ibidima sia: sia: sima. E da gasia hano degesu hafoga: i sogega galu, amoga mae ouesaloma: ne sia: ma. Be e amola ea dunu da A: basalome ea dadi gagui dunuga gagulaligili fane legesa: besa: le, e wahadafa Yoda: ne Hano degema: ne sia: ma.”
So send a message quickly to David and tell him, ‘Don't wait and spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but cross over immediately or the king and everybody with him will be destroyed.’”
17 Abaia: da egefe Yonada: ne amola Sa: idoge egefe Ahima: ia: se ela da Enelougele hano nasu uli dogoi Yelusaleme bega: galu amoga ouesalebe ba: i. Bai ela da se nabasa: besa: le, molai bai bagade golili sa: imu da hamedei ba: i. Hawa: hamosu a: fini da eso huluane Yelusalemega hamobe hou elama olelemusa: ahoasu. Amalalu, ela da Da: ibidima alofele adomusa: ahoasu.
Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel because they couldn't be seen entering the city. A servant girl would come and tell them what was happening. Then they would go and let King David know.
18 Be eso afaega, goi afae da ela ba: le, A:basalomema adoi. Amaiba: le, ela da hehenane Bahiulimi dunu ea diasu ganodini wamoaligi. Ea diasu gadenene da hano uli dogoi dialebe ba: i. Ela da amo ganodini sa: ili, wamoaligi.
But a boy did see them and he told Absalom. So the two left immediately and went to the house of a man in the town of Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed into it.
19 Bahiulimi dunu ea idua da amo uli dogoi dedeboi. Amola dunu da amo mae ba: ma: ne, dedebosu abulaga figisili, amo da: iya gagoma afagogolesi.
His wife took a cloth to cover the well and spread it out over the opening and then scattered grain over it. No one knew the men were there.
20 A: basalome ea eagene ouligisu dunu da amo diasuga misini, udama amane adole ba: i, “Ahima: ia: se amola Yonada: ne da habila: ?” E bu adole i, “Ela da hano degei dagoi.” A: basalome ea dunu da ela hogoi, be hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Yelusalemega buhagi.
When Absalom's officers arrived they asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” “They crossed over the stream,” she replied. The men searched for them but didn't find them, so they went back to Jerusalem.
21 Ilia da yolesilalu, Ahima: ia: se amola Yonada: ne da uli dogoia gudunini heda: le, hina bagade Da: ibidima sia: musa: asi. Ela da Ahidoufele ea A: basalomema hamoma: ne ilegei Da: ibidima olelelalu, amane sia: i, “Hadiga! Hano degema!”
After Absalom's officers left, the two men climbed out of the well and rushed off to give the king their message. “Have everybody get up and cross the river right away, for Ahithophel's advice is to attack you immediately.”
22 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da muni Yoda: ne Hano degelalu, hadigibi galu degele asi dagoi ba: i.
David and everybody with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By the time it got light there wasn't anybody who hadn't crossed over.
23 Ahidoufele da A: basalome amola ea dunu da ea fada: i sia: amoga hame fa: no bobogei ba: loba, e da ea dougi da: iya fisu legele, amoga fila heda: le, hi moilaidafa amoga buhagi. Amalalu, e da ea liligi huluane hahamonanu, hi gobele galogoaga gomene hegoa: nesili, bogoi dagoi. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo ea sosogo fi ilia uli dogoiga sali.
When Ahithophel realized that his advice had been ignored, he saddled up his donkey and left for his home in the town where he lived. He put his affairs in order and then he hanged himself. He died and was buried in his father's tomb.
24 A: basalome amola Isala: ili dunu da Yoda: ne Hano degei dagoloba, Da: ibidi da Ma: ihana: ime sogega doaga: i dagoi ba: i.
David went on to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan with the entire Israelite army.
25 (A: basalome da Ama: isa amo Youa: be ea dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu sogebi lama: ne ilegei dagoi. Ama: isa da Isiama: ile fi dunu Yidie egefe. Ea ame da A: biga: ile, Na: iha: se ea idiwi amola Youa: be ea ame Selouaia amo ea hobe).
Absalom had put Amasa in charge of the army to replace Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, the Ishmaelite who lived with Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
26 A: basalome amola ea dunu da Gilia: de soge ganodini awali wa: i fi dialu.
The Israelites under Absalom set up camp in the land of Gilead.
27 Da: ibidi da Ma: ihana: ime amoga doaga: loba, Sioubai (Na: iha: se egefe. E da La: ba moilai bai bagade A: mone sogega gala amoga misi) amola Ma: ige (Loudiba dunu A: miele egefe) amola Basila: iai (e da Lougilimi moilai Gilia: de sogega misi) ilia da Da: ibidi yosia: musa: misi.
When David arrived at Mahanaim, he was welcomed by Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir, son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
They brought bedding, bowls, and clay jars, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
29 Ilia da yaeya amola osoboga hamoi ofodo amola golasu liligi amola ha: i manu, amo Da: ibidi amola ea dunuma ima: ne gaguli misi. Ilia da widi amola bali, falaua, gagoma gobei, da: iyene, da: iyene eno, agime hano, gou, dodo maga: me sefe, amola sibi gaguli misi. Bai Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da hafoga: i sogega ahoanebeba: le, ha: i amola hano hanai amola helei galu, amo ilia da dawa: i.
honey, curds, sheep, and cheese made from cow's milk for David and the people with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry, tired, and thirsty from their time in the wilderness.”
