2 Sa:miuele 19
1 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da A: basalome dawa: beba: le, digini amola fofagini ahoanu. Youa: be da amo hou nabi dagoi.
Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
2 Amola Da: ibidi ea dunu da Isala: ili dunu hasaliba: le hahawane galu, be ilia amo fisili bu da: i dioi galu. Bai ilia nabagaloba hina bagade da ea mano dawa: le, digini amola fofagini ahoanu amo nabi.
All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
3 Ilia da dadi gagui dunu gegesu amoga hobea: iba: le gogosiasu, amo defele ouiya: le moilaiga buhagili, golili sa: i.
The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
4 Hina bagade da ea odagi dedebole, ha: giwane amane dinanu, “Nagofe! Nagofe! Nagofe, A:basalome! A: basalome nagofe!”
The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
5 Youa: be da hina bagade ea diasuga asili, ema amane sia: i, “Dia dunu da dia esalusu amola diagofelali amola didiwilali amola dia udalali amola dia gidisedagi udalali amo huluane gaga: i dagoi. Be wali eso, dia da giadofale, ili gogosiama: ne hamoi.
Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
6 Di da dunu dima asigibi, ilima ha lai hamosa. Amola di da dia ha lai dunu fuligala: sa. Di da moloiwane olelei dagoi, di da dia dadi gagui ouligisu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu amo ilia da hamedei dunu, amo dia da dawa: sa. Na da ba: loba, A:basalome e wali esala ganiaba amola ninia huluane da bogogia: i ganiaba, di da hahawane ba: la: loba.
[It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
7 Defea! Di wahadafa dia dunu ilia dogo denisima: ne masa! Na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amane ilegele sia: sa. Di da amane hame hamomu ganiaba, aya hahabe ilia huluane da di yolesi dagoi ba: mu. Amo hou da doaga: sea, dia lalelegei eso amogainini wali bidi hamosu ba: su da amo bagadewane baligimu.”
So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
8 Amalalu, hina bagade da wa: legadole, asili, logo holei bega: esalu. E da amogawi esala nababeba: le, ea dunu da ema gilisimusa: misi. Amogalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da hobeale, afagogole, hi diasua buhagi dagoi ba: i.
So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
9 Ilia da Isala: ili soge huluane amo ganodini muni sia: ga gegenanu. Ilisu amane sia: sa: i, “Hina bagade Da: ibidi da ninia ha laiga nini mae hasalima: ne gaga: i. E da Filisidini dunu ilia nini mae hasalima: ne, nini gaga: i. Be wali e da A: basalomeba: le hobeale, soge yolesi dagoi.
Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
10 Ninia da A: basalome hina bagade hamoma: ne susuligi sogagala: le ilegei. Be e da gegesu ganodini fane legei dagoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, hina bagade Da: ibidi, amo bu oule misunu da defea.”
We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
11 Isala: ili dunu ilia sia: dalebe, amo hina bagade Da: ibidi nabi. Amaiba: le, e da gobele salasu dunu Sa: idoge amola Abaia: da amo Yuda ouligisu dunuma amane adole ba: ma: ne asunasi, “Dilia da abuliba: le fa: nodafa hina bagade bu oule misa: ne dawa: sala: ?
King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
12 Dilia da na fidafa dunu - na hu amola na maga: me defele gala. Amaiba: le, dilia abuliba: le fa: nodafa na bu oule misa: ne dawa: bela: ?”
You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
13 Amola Da: ibidi da ilima, ilia da Ama: isa ema amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Di da na fi dunu. Na da dadi gagui dunu ouligisudafa Youa: be amo fadegale, ea sogebi lama: ne dima ilegemu. Na da amo hame hamosea, Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
14 Da: ibidi da amane sia: beba: le, Yuda dunu da dafawane e fuligala: ma: ne dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, ilia da e amola ea ouligisu dunu amo bu misa: ne sia: sia: si.
[By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
15 Da: ibidi da buhagilaloba, Yuda dunu da Yoda: ne Hano amogawi e yosia: i. Ilia da Giliga: le moilaia, Da: ibidi e Yoda: ne Hano degebe amo ouligimusa: misi dagoi ba: i.
So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
16 Amogaluwane, Bediamini dunu amo Simiai (Bahiulimi dunu Gila amo egefe) e da Yoda: ne Hanoa, hina bagade Da: ibidi yosia: musa: hehenai.
Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
17 E da amoga Bediamini fi dunu 1,000 agoane oule misi. Amola Solo ea musa: hawa: hamosu dunu amo Saiba, da misi. E da egefelali15 agoane amola hawa: hamosu dunu 20 agoane oule misi. Hina bagade da Yoda: ne Hano amoga mae doaga: le, ilia hidadea doaga: i dagoi ba: i.
There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
18 Ilia da hina bagade ea mano amola hawa: hamosu dunu amo huluane hano degebe ouligimusa: , amola hina bagade ea hanai hamoma: ne, hano na: iyado ganodini degele lala asi. Hina bagade da hano degemusa: momageloba, Simiai da hi gobele Da: ibidi ea midadi osoba gala: la sa: ili, ema amane sia: i,
and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
19 “Hina noga: idafa! Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega di yolesi esoha amogala wadela: le bagade hamoi, amo gogolema: ne olofoma. Amo bu mae dawa: ma amola gogolema!
He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
20 Dafawane! Na dawa: ! Na da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Be amo dawa: beba: le, na da ga (north) fi huluane bisili, wali eso di, hina noga: i, gousa: musa: misi.”
Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
21 Abisia: i (Selouaia egefe) da amane sia: i, “Simiai amo fane legemu da defea. Bai Simiai da Hina Gode Ea hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei dunu ema gagabusu aligima: ne sia: i.”
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
22 Be Da: ibidi da Abisia: i amola ea ola Youa: be elama amane sia: i, “Nowa da dima adole ba: bela: ? Ali da nama bidi hamosu iahabela: ? Na fawane da wali Isala: ili hina bagade gala. Amola wali eso, Isala: ili dunu afae da fane legesu hamedafa ba: mu.”
But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
23 Amola e da Simiaima amane sia: i, “Na da dafawane na sia: ga ilegesa. Ilia da di hamedafa fane legemu.”
Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
24 Amalalu, Mifibousiede (Solo ea aowa) da Da: ibidi yosia: musa: misi. E da Da: ibidi Yelusaleme yolesia amogainini e da ea ha lai hasalalu bu misini, ea emo hame dodofei, amola ea mayabo hame dafogei, amola ea abula hame dodofei ba: i.
Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
25 Mifibousiede da Yelusalemega misini, Da: ibidima doaga: i. Hina bagade Da: ibidi da ema amane sia: i, “Mifibousiede! Di abuliba: le ani hame asibala: ? Abuliga?”
When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
26 E bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Di dawa: ! Na da gasuga: igi gala. Na da ani masusa: , na da na hawa: hamosu dunu ema na dougi da: iya fisu legema: ne sia: i. Be e da na hohonoi dagoi.
He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
27 Hina noga: idafa! E da na hou ogogolewane dima olelei. Be di da Gode Ea a: igele dunu defele esala. Amaiba: le, di da hou amo dia moloiwane ba: sea, amo hamoma.
And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
28 Na ada ea sosogo ilia hamobeba: le, di ili huluane fane lelegemu da defea galu. Be amo mae dawa: le, di da na dia ha: i nasu fafaiga ha: i moma: ne ilegei. Amaiba: le na da di, hina noga: idafa, dima bu edegemu na da defele hame gala.”
All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
29 Hina bagade da bu adole i, “Bu mae sia: ma! Na da di amola Saiba ani da gilisili Solo ea musa: gagui liligi amo momagele gaguma: ne ilegei dagoi.”
The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
30 Mifibousiede da amane sia: i, “Saiba igili huluane lama: ne sia: ma! Be di hina noga: idafa, di da gaga: iwane buhagi dagoiba: le, na hanai da gumi dagoi.”
Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
31 Gilia: de dunu Basila: iai amola da Lougilimi moilaiga hina bagade Yoda: ne Hano degema: ne fidimusa: misi galu.
Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
32 Basila: iai da dunu da: i hamoi, ode80agoane gidigi ba: i. E da bagade gagui dunu. Hina bagade da Mahana: ime amoga esaloba, e da e ha: i manu defele ema iasu.
Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
33 Hina bagade da ema amane sia: i, “Di Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega ani masunu. Amasea, na da di ouligisu hamomu.”
The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
34 Be Basila: iai da bu adole i, “Na bogomu da gadeneidafa. Amaiba: le, hina noga: idafa, na ani Yelusalemega masunu da defea hame.
But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
35 Na esala ode80 agoane gidigili amola liligi huluane da na obenasu hame iaha. Na ha: i manu amola waini nasea, heda hamedei gala, amola gesami hea: su dunu ilia hea: be na hame naba. Na ani ahoasea, di, hina bagade da dioi fawane ba: mu.
I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
36 Na da agoane bidi bagade lamu da defele hame gala. Amaiba: le, na da Yoda: ne Hano baligili, fonobahadi fawane masunu.
I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
37 Amaiba: le, Na diasua buhagili, na da na ada amola ame ela uli dogoia gadenene bogoma: ne, dia na logo hamoma. Nagofe Gimiha: me da goea! E da dia hawa: hamomu. Hina noga: idafa, e sigi masa amola dia hanaiga e fidima: ne hamoma.”
Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
38 Hina bagade da ema bu adole i, “Na da e sigi asili amola dia hanai defele ema hamomu. Amola, di fidima: ne, dia adi adole ba: sea, na da hamomu.”
The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
39 Amalalu, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu huluane da Yoda: ne Hano degei. E da Basila: iai amo nonogole, e Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: ne ilegele sia: i. Amalalu, Basila: iai da hi diasua buhagi.
Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
40 Hina bagade da hano degei. Yuda dunu huluane amola Isala: ili dunu dogoa mogili da ea degebe ouligi. Da: ibidi da asili, Giliga: lega doaga: i. E da Gimiha: me sigi asi.
[After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
41 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da hina bagadema asili ema amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Ninia gawialali amo Yuda fi dunu da abuliba: le di lale, amola di amola dia sosogo amola dia dunu amo Yoda: ne hano degema: ne ouligibala: ?”
Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
42 Yuda dunu huluane da bu adole i, “Bai hina bagade da ninia fi dunuba: le, ninia agoane hamoi. Be dilia da amoga abuliba: le ougibala: ? E da ninia ha: i manu maiba: le, bidi hame i, amola ninima hamedafa i.”
The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
43 Isala: ili dunu ilia bu adole i, “E da dilia fi dunu. Be ninia da Da: ibidima gagusu da dilia gagusu nabuane agoane baligisa. Dilia da abuliba: le nini da hamedei dunu dawa: sala: ? Ninia da muni hina bagade bu bisili oule misa: ne dawa: i. Amo mae gogolema!” Be Yuda dunu da gasa fili, ilia sia: ga gegei da Isala: ili dunu ilia sia: baligi.
The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
