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 numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
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 forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
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 answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
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 unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came 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 commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
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 battle was in the wood 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.
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
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.
For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
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 met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
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 told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
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 unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.
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 unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
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.”
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against 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 said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
15 Amalalu, Youa: be ea dadi gagui dunu nabuane gala da gadenene misini, A:basalome bogoma: ne dabuasilisi.
And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew 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 blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
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, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one 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 in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom’s place.
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 said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that Yhwh hath avenged him of his enemies.
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 unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, 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 said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
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 said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
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.
But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
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.
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
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 cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew 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.”
And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
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, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
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 called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be Yhwh thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand 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 the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
30 Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Gagoe aligila masa!” Amola e da amogawi asili, lelu.
And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
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, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for Yhwh hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
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 unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, 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!”
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
