2 Sa:miuele 18
1 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da ea dunu huluane gegedole, afafane, dunu gilisisu idi afae afae amo da 1,000 amola gilisisu eno ilia idi afae afae da 100 agoane ilegele gagai. Amo gilisisu ouligima: ne, e da ouligisu dunu ilegele gagai.
And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
2 Amalalu, e da gilisisu udiana hamone, ili gadili asunasi. Gilisisu udiana ilia ouligisu dunu da Youa: be amola ea eya Abisia: i amola Ga: de dunu Idai. Amola Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Na amola nini masunu.”
And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.
3 Be ilia da bu adole i, “Di da nini hame masunu. Ninisu da beba: le hobeasea, o ninia dogoa mogili fane legei ba: sea, ninia ha lai da hame dawa: mu. Be di da nini dunu 10,000 agoanega fawane defele ba: sa. Di da guiguda: moilaiga esalu, ninima fidisu asunasima: ne, ouesalumu da defea.”
But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.
4 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Dilia da amo hou da baligili noga: i dawa: beba: le, na da hamomu.” Amalalu, e da logo holei bega: leloba, ea dunu gilisisu mogili da 1,000 idi amola mogili da 100 idi, amo da gadili mogodigili asi.
And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 E da Youa: be amola Abisia: i amola Idai ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia nama asigiba: le, ayeligi A: basalome ema se mae ima.” Dadi gagui dunu huluane da sia: amo Da: ibidi da ea ouligisu dunuma sia: i, amo nabi.
And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.
6 Da: ibidi ea dadi gagui wa: i da sogega asili, Ifala: ime iwilaga Isala: ili dunuma gegei.
So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the fight took place in the woods of Ephraim.
7 Da: ibidi ea dunu da Isala: ili dunu hasali. Ilia gasa bagadewane Isala: ili dunuma hasalasi. Amo esoha, dunu 20,000 agoane da fane lelegei dagoi ba: i.
And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.
8 Gegesu da soge huluane amo ganodini asi. Dunu amo da iwila ganodini bogoi ilia idi da dunu gegesu ganodini bogoi ilia idi baligi dagoi.
And the fighting went on over all the face of the country: and the woods were responsible for more deaths than the sword.
9 A: basalome da `miule’ amoga fila heda: le ahoanoba, hedolowane Da: ibidi ea dunu mogili ema manebe ba: i. Ea `miule’ da hehenane, `ouge’ ifaha golili asili, A:basalome ea dialuma da ifa amodaga gaguiagai. Miule da bu hehenai, be A: basalome da ea dialuma ifa amodaga fodosili hamefufua hegoa: i dialebe ba: i.
And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.
10 Da: ibidi ea dunu afae da amo ba: lu, Youa: bema amane adola asi, “Hina! Na da A: basalome `ouge’ ifaga fodosili hegoa: i dialebe ba: i!”
And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.
11 Youa: be da bu adole i, “Dia ba: beba: le, abuliga amogaiwane e hame fane legebela: ? Na nisu da dima silifa fage nabuane amola bulu ia: noba!”
And Joab said to the man who had given him the news, If you saw this, why did you not put your sword through him, and I would have given you ten bits of silver and a band for your robe?
12 Be amo dunu da bu adole i, “Di da silifa fage 1,000 agoane nama i ganiaba, na da hina bagade egefema hame wadela: lesila: loba. Ninia huluane da hina bagade di amola Abisia: i amola Idai dilima amane sia: be nabi, `Dilia nama asigiba: le, ayeligi A: basalomema se mae ima!’
And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.
13 Be na da hina bagade ea sia: i mae nabawane A: basalome fane legesa ganiaba, hina bagade da amo naba: loba (e da liligi hamobe huluane naba) amaiba: le dia da na hame gaga: la: loba ba: mu.”
And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.
14 Youa: be da amane sia: i, “Na da di amo hamoma: ne bu hame aligimu!” A: basalome da `ouge’ ifaga hegoa: nesi dialebe ba: le, amola Youa: be da goge agei udiana lale amoga ea bida: igia soi.
Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.
15 Amalalu, Youa: be ea dadi gagui dunu nabuane gala da gadenene misini, A:basalome bogoma: ne dabuasilisi.
And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.
16 Youa: be da sia: beba: le, ilia dalabede amo gegesu dagolesima: ne fulaboi. Amola Youa: be ea dadi gagui dunu da Isala: ili dunuma se bobogelalu yolesili buhagi.
And Joab had the horn sounded, and the people came back from going after Israel, for Joab kept them back.
17 Ilia da A: basalome ea da: i hodo lale, oso dogone uli dogoi ganodini sanasili, igi gegedole legei bagade, amoga dedebosi. Isala: ili dunu huluane da hobeale, afagogole, hi diasuga buhagi.
And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.
18 A: basalome da mae bogole esalebe galu, e da ea hamoi dawa: loma: ne, hina bagade Fagoga igiga wanonesi. Bai e da dunu mano hame amola egefe ea dio osobo bagade sia: numu hame galu. Amaiba: le, e da amo dawa: loma: ne igi wanoi amoma hina: dio asunasi. Amola amogainini wali, amoga ilia da `A: basalome ea dawa: digima: ne igi Wanoi’ amo dio sia: sa.
Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.
19 Amalalu, Ahima: ia: se (Sa: idoge egefe) da Youa: bema amane sia: i, “Na da hina bagadema hehenane, sia: ida: iwane amo da Hina Gode da ea ha lai ema mae hasalima: ne e gaga: i, na da amo sia: adola masa: ne sia: ma”
Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.
20 Youa: be da bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Di da wali eso sia: ida: iwane adomusa: hame masunu. Eso enoga da defea be wali eso hame. Bai hina bagade egefe da bogoi dagoi.”
And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.
21 Amalalu, e da ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu (Suda: ne soge dunu) ema amane sia: i, “Di hina bagade ema asili, dia ba: i liligi amo ema olelema.” Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da begudili, hehenane asi.
Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go and give the king word of what you have seen. And the Cushite, making a sign of respect to Joab, went off running.
22 Be Ahima: ia: se da ea edegei mae fisili, bu sia: i, “Na da fa: no mabe hou hame dawa: sa. Be na amola da amo sia: adomusa: masa: ne sia: ma.” Youa: be da adole ba: i, “Nagofe! Dia abuliba: le amo hou hamomusa: hanabela: ? Di da amoga bidi hame lamu.”
Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?
23 Ahima: ia: se da amane sia: i, “Na da fa: no mabe hou mae dawa: le masunu hanai galebe!” “Defea! Masa!” Youa: be da sia: i. Amaiba: le, Ahima: ia: se da Yoda: ne Fago gudu hehenaia sa: ili, hedolowane udigili hawa: hamosu dunu ea ahoabe baligi.
Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.
24 Da: ibidi da sogebi amo da gano golili ganosu amola ga golili ganosu dogoa gala, amogawi fi esalebe ba: i. Sosodo aligisu dunu da moilai dobea da: iya gado heda: le, logo holei dabua fafai amo da: iya lelu. E da gadili ba: le galoba, dunu afae hehenanebe ba: i.
Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.
25 E da hina bagadema gudu wele sia: ne guduli, hina bagade da ema amane sia: i, “E da hisu mabeba: le, sia: noga: i adomusa: maha.” Hehenasu dunu da gebewane gagadenena manebe ba: i.
And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.
26 Amalalu, sosodo aligisu dunu da eno dunu hisu hehenanebe ba: i. E da logo holei ouligisu dunuma gudu wele sia: ne gudui, “Ba: ma! Dunu eno da hehenaiya manebe goea!” Hina bagade da bu adole i, “E amolawane da sia: ida: iwane adola maha.”
Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.
27 Sosodo aligisu dunu da amane sia: i, “Na ba: loba bisili mabe dunu da Ahima: ia: se e agoai hehenanebe.” Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “E da dunu noga: i. Amola e da sia: ida: iwane adola maha.”
And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.
28 Ahima: ia: se da hina bagadema asigi sia: yosia: nu, hi gobele hina bagade midadi osoba gala: la sa: ili, amane sia: , “Dia Hina Godema nodoma! Bai E da di, hina noga: i, dia ha lai odoga: be dunu amo hasalima: ne hamoi dagoi.”
And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!
29 Hina bagade da adole ba: i, “Ayeligi A: basalome da hahawane gaga: bela: ?” Ahima: ia: se da bu adole i, “Hina! Dia ouligisu dunu Youa: be da na asunasi mana ba: loba, na da dunu bagohame bulisa lafia: lebe ba: i, be amo ea bai na da hame dawa: i.”
And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.
30 Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Gagoe aligila masa!” Amola e da amogawi asili, lelu.
And the king said, Get back and take your place here. So turning to one side, he took his place there.
31 Amalalu, Suda: ne udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da doaga: le, hina bagadema amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da dima sia: ida: iwane adola misi. Wali eso, Hina Gode da dima, dia ha lai lelesu dunu hasalima: ne hamoi dagoi.”
And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.
32 Hina bagade da amane adole ba: i, “Ayeligi A: basalome da gaga: bala:”? Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “Hina! Ema hamoi hou defele, dia ha lai amola dima odoga: su dunu huluane, ilima amane hamoi dagoi ba: mu da defea!”
And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!
33 Ea mano da bogoi nababeba: le, Da: ibidi da baligiliwane da: i dione, sesei amo da logo holeiga gadodili gala, amoga asili, dinanu. E da ahoa ha: giwane disa amane wele sia: i, “Nagofe! A: basalome! Nagofe! Nagofe! Di mae bogole, na fawane bogomu da defea galu! Nagofe! A: basalome, nagofe!”
Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!
