2 Sa:miuele 2
1 Amalu fa: no Da: ibidi da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Na da asili, Yuda moilai afae ouligimu da defeala: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Ma! Ouligima!” Da: ibidi da bu adole ba: i, “Habola: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Hibalone!”
Some time later, David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” “Go up,” the LORD answered. Then David asked, “Where should I go?” “To Hebron,” replied the LORD.
2 Amaiba: le Da: ibidi da ea uda aduna Hibalone moilai bai bagadega oule asi. Ea iduala da Ahinoua: me (e da Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega fi uda) amola A: biga: ile (Na: iba: le ea didalo Gamele moilaiga misi.)
So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
3 Amola e da ea dunu fi amola ilia sosogo fi huluane oule asili, amola ilia da Hibalone moilai bai bagade amo ganodini fifilai dagoi.
David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.
Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
5 Amalu, Yuda dunu ilia Hibalone moilai bai bagadega misini doaga: le, Da: ibidi da Yuda dunu ilia hina bagade galebe ilia dawa: digima: ne susuligi unasili, e ilegei dagoi. Ya: ibese moilai bai bagade (Gilia: de soge amo ganodini gala) amo fifi lai dunu da Solo ea da: i hodo uligai dagoi. Da: ibidi da amo sia: be nababeba: le, sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia amane sia: adola masa: ne asunasi dagoi, “Dilia da dilia hina bogoi ema nodone uligai dagoiba: le, Hina Gode da dilima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.
So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead to tell them, “The LORD bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.
6 Amalu waha amola hobea Hina Gode da dilima mae fisili hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea. Dilia da na noga: le fidibiba: le, na amola da dili noga: le fidimu.
Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
7 Gasa fima! Amola hahawane galoma! Dilia hina bagade Solo da bogoi dagoi, amola Yuda dunu ilia da na amo hina bagade hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi.”
Now then, be strong and courageous, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me as their king.”
8 Solo ea dadi gagui ilia bisilua A: bena (Ne egefe) amola Esiabousiede (Solo egefe), ela da gegesua hobeale, Yoda: ne hano degele, Ma: ihana: ime sogega asi.
Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, took Saul’s son Ish-bosheth, moved him to Mahanaim,
9 Amogai, A:bena da Esiabousiede ea hina bagade hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei, amalu Gilia: de soge huluane amola A: sie, Yeseliele, Ifala: ime, Bediamini, amola Isala: ili huluane ouligima: ne sia: i.
and made him king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel.
10 Esiabousiede da lalelegele, ode 40 gidigili esalu, Isala: ili ouligisu hawa: hamosu lai. Amola e da Isala: ili soge ode aduna ouligi. Be Yuda fi da Da: ibidi ema fa: no bobogesu.
Saul’s son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.
11 Amola e da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega esala, Yuda ouligilalu, ode fesuale amola oubi gafeale gidigi.
And the length of time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 A: bena amola Esiabousiede ea baligia aligili eagene ouligisu dunu, ilia da amo Ma: ihana: ime soge amo ganodini asili, moilai bai bagade Gibione amoga asili, hano ulasu dogoi bega: doaga: i.
One day Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Amoga ilia da Youa: be (ea ame da Seluaia) amola Da: ibidi ea eagene ouligisu dunu oda hano na: iyadodili fi dialebe ba: i.
So Joab son of Zeruiah, along with the servants of David, marched out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. And the two camps took up positions on opposite sides of the pool.
14 A: bena da Youa: bema amane sia: i, “Dia fi goi mogili da ninia fi goi mogili ilima hedele gegemala: di.” Youa: be da bu adole i, “Defea!”
Then Abner said to Joab, “Let us have the young men get up and compete before us.” “Let them get up,” Joab replied.
15 Amaiba: le, Esiabousiede ea Bediamini fi dunu fagoyale gala da Da: ibidi ea fi dunu fagoyale gala ilima gegei.
So they got up and were counted off—twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.
16 Dunu afae afae da defele ilia ha lai dunu ilia dialumagia ili defele gaguli, ilia gobiheiga galu afoa sone, dunu huluane24agoane galu dafane bogoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gibione moilai bai bagade amo ganodini, amo soge dawa: loma: ne ilia da “Gegesu Gobihei Sogebi” sia: sa.
Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.
17 Amalalu, bagadedafa gegesu da mui. Amola Da: ibidi ea dunu da A: bena amola Isala: ili dunu hasali dagoi.
The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
18 Selouaia ea mano udiana ilia da amogawi esalebe ba: i. Ilia dio da Youa: be, Abisia: i, amola A: sahele. A: sahele da sigua ohe ‘dia’ amo defele hehenasu dawa: i galu.
The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle,
19 E da A: benama molo dounananu, doagala: musa: hehenaia bobogei.
and he chased Abner, not turning to the right or to the left in his pursuit.
20 A: bena da beba: le amane sia: i, “A: sahele! Amo da dila: ?” “Ma!” e bu adole i.
And Abner glanced back and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” “It is,” Asahel replied.
21 A: bena da amane sia: i, “Na bobogebe go yolesima! Di dadi gagui ayeligi afae amoga se bobogele, ea gagui liligi lama.” Be A: sahele da mae yolesili ema fa: no bobogelalu.
So Abner told him, “Turn to your right or to your left, seize one of the young men, and take his equipment for yourself.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
22 A: bena da bu enowane A: sahelema amane sia: i, “Na bobogebe go yolesima! Abuliba: le di da na di fuga: ma: ne hamosala: ? Na da di fane legesea, dia ola Youa: be ea odagi na da habodane bu ba: ma: bela: ?”
Once again, Abner warned Asahel, “Stop chasing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How could I show my face to your brother Joab?”
23 Be A: sahele da hame yolesi. Amaiba: le, A:bena da ea goge agei baligidu olele guma: noba, goge agei da A: sahele hagomoa sone badofale baligia, gadili asi ba: i. A: sahele da osoba gala: lasa: ili, bogoi dialebe ba: i. Amola dunu huluane amogai misini, ilia da e dialebe ba: loba, ili amogawi dufugili aliligi.
But Asahel refused to turn away; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into his stomach, and it came out his back, and he fell dead on the spot. And every man paused when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
24 Be Youa: be amola Abisia: i da muni A: bena ema bobogei. Asili, eso daba guma: di ilia da A: ima agolo (amo da Gaia moilaiga gusudili diala. Gaia moilai da logo amo da Gibione hafoga: i sogega ahoasu bega: diala).
But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. By sunset, they had gone as far as the hill of Ammah opposite Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Bediamini fi dunu da bu A: benama gale gilisi. Ilia da agolo da: iya lelu.
The Benjamites rallied to Abner, formed a single unit, and took their stand atop a hill.
26 A: bena da Youa: bema amane wele sia: i, “Ninia abuliba: le mae fisili, eso huluane gegenanoma: bela: ? Amane hamosea, ninia da da: i diosu fawane ba: mu. Ninia da dilia fi dunu! Di da habogala dia fi dunu ilia nini sefasisu yolesima: ne sia: ma: bela: ?”
Then Abner called out to Joab: “Must the sword devour forever? Do you not realize that this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop pursuing their brothers?”
27 Youa: be da bu adole i, “Na da Esalebe Gode Ea Dioba: le amane ilegesa. Di da amane hame sia: i ganiaba, na da dilima gebewane bobogelalawane, aya hahabe fawane yolesila: loba.”
“As surely as God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued pursuing their brothers until morning.”
28 Amalalu, Youa: be da ea dunu Isala: ili dunuma bobogesa yolesimu dawa: digima: ne, dalabede fulaboi. Amalalu, gegesu da fisi dagoi ba: i.
So Joab blew the ram’s horn, and all the troops stopped; they no longer pursued Israel or continued to fight.
29 Amo gasia amogainini aya hahabe, A:bena amola ea dunu ilia da Yodane Fagoa gududili ahoanu, Yodane hano degele, esomogoadafa Ma: ihana: ime sogega doaga: i.
And all that night Abner and his men marched through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all morning, and arrived at Mahanaim.
30 Youa: be da doagala: musa: bobogelalu fisiagaloba, e da ea dunu huluane gegedole, A:sahele amola dunu 19 eno esalebe hame ba: i.
When Joab returned from pursuing Abner, he gathered all the troops. In addition to Asahel, nineteen of David’s servants were missing,
31 Be Bediamini fi dunu (A: bena ea dunu) amo 360 agoane da Da: ibidi ea dunu amolalia fane legei dagoi ba: i.
but they had struck down 360 Benjamites who were with Abner.
32 Youa: be amola ea dunu da A: sahele ea bogoi da: i hodo lale, ea sosogo fi uli gelaba Bedeleheme moilaiga amo ganodini sali. Amalalu, ilia da amo gasi ganodini mogodigili, lafiadala, hadigibi galu Hibalone moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
Later, they took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and reached Hebron at daybreak.
