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 he set 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 forth the people a third part under the command of Joab, and a third part under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruyah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I myself also will without fail go forth 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, Thou shalt not go forth; for if we should have to flee away, they will not care for us; and if half of us die, they will not care for us; for now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou shouldst be a succor to 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 good in your eyes will I do. And the king placed himself by the side of the gate, 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 commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, with Abshalom. And all the people heard when the king charged all the captains with respect to Abshalom.
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 took place in the forest 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 smitten there before David's servants, and the slaughter was great there on that day—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.
And the battle became extended there over the face of all the country: and the forest devoured yet more of the people than the sword had devoured on that day.
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 Abshalom happened to come before the servants of David. And Abshalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule came under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was left hanging between the heaven and the earth: and the mule that was under him passed 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, and told it to Joab, and said, Behold, I have seen Abshalom hanging on 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: why then didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and it would have been obligatory on me to give 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, And though I should weigh on my hands a thousand shekels of silver, I would not stretch forth my hand against the king's son; for before our ears did the king charge thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take heed, whoever it be, of the young man, of Abshalom.
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.”
Or should I even have acted with falsehood against my own life, since there is no matter which can be hidden from the king; thou wouldst surely have placed thyself aloof.
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 will not wait thus before thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Abshalom, who 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, Joab's armor-bearers, encompassed and smote Abshalom, 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 cornet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab restrained 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 Abshalom, and cast him down in the forest, into the large pit, and erected upon him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled, every one, to his tents.
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 Abshalom had taken and reared up for himself in his lifetime, the pillar, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son, so as to keep my name in remembrance; and he called the pillar after his own name: and it was called Abshalom's monument, even until this day.
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”
And Achima'az the son of Zadok said, Do let me run, I pray thee, and bear the king tidings, that the Lord hath done him justice from the power 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 art not the man to bear [good] tidings this day, and 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 the 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 Achima'az the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, Be it as it may, let me, I pray thee, run also after the Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore is it that thou wilt run, my son, seeing that thou hast no profitable tidings?
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 be it as it may, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. And Achima'az ran by the way of the plain, and passed the 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 was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate, upon the wall, and as he lifted up his eyes, he saw, and behold, a man was 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 it to the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there are tidings in his mouth. And he came nearer and nearer continually.
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 gate-keeper, and said, Behold, here is a man running alone. And the king said, Also this one 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, I regard the running of the foremost as the running of Achima'az the son of Zadok. And the king said, That is a good man, and with good tidings must he come.
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 Achima'az called, and said unto the king, Peace. And he prostrated himself to the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath surrendered the men that had 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 Abshalom safe? And Achima'az answered, I saw the greatest crowd when Joab sent off the king's servant, and thy servant; but I know not what hath happened.
30 Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Gagoe aligila masa!” Amola e da amogawi asili, lelu.
And the king said, Turn aside, place thyself here. And he turned aside, and remained standing.
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, the Cushi came [next]; and the Cushi said, Let my lord the king receive the tidings, that the Lord hath done thee justice this day from the power of all those that had risen 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 the Cushi, Is the young man Abshalom safe? And the Cushi answered, May like the young man be the enemies of my Lord the king, and all that have risen up against thee for evil.
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 he went up to the upper chamber of the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, O my son Abshalom, my son, my son Abshalom! who would grant that I had died in thy stead, O Abshalom, my son, my son!
