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!”
Sometime after this, David asked the Lord, “Should I go to one of the towns of Judah?” “Yes, do it,” the Lord replied. “Which one should I go to?” David asked. “Go to Hebron,” said 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 moved there with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal's widow from 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.
He also brought the men who were with him, along with their families, and they settled in the villages near Hebron.
Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king of the people of Judah. When David found out that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead who had 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.
he sent messengers to them, saying, “May the Lord bless you, because you demonstrated your loyal love to Saul your master, and you buried him properly.
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 loyal love and trustworthiness, and I will also be good to you because of what you did for Saul.
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.”
So be strong and be brave, for even though Saul your master is dead, the people of Judah have 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.
However, Abner, son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbosheth, son of Saul, 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.
There he set up Ishbosheth as king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin, in fact 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.
Ishbosheth, son of Saul, was forty when he became king over Israel, and he reigned for two years. However, the people of Judah were on David's side.
11 Amola e da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega esala, Yuda ouligilalu, ode fesuale amola oubi gafeale gidigi.
David ruled in Hebron as king over the people of Judah for 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 and Ishbosheth's men left Mahanaim and went to the town of 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.
Joab, son of Zeruiah, and David's men set off and met them at the pool of Gibeon, where they all sat down, facing each other across 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!”
Abner said to Joab, “Why not let's have some of the men fight in hand to hand combat before us.” “Fine,” Joab agreed.
15 Amaiba: le, Esiabousiede ea Bediamini fi dunu fagoyale gala da Da: ibidi ea fi dunu fagoyale gala ilima gegei.
So twelve men came forward from each side—twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth, 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.
Each man grabbed his opponent's head and drove his sword into his opponent's side so that they all fell down dead together. That's why this place in Gibeon is called the Field of Sword-edges.
17 Amalalu, bagadedafa gegesu da mui. Amola Da: ibidi ea dunu da A: bena amola Isala: ili dunu hasali dagoi.
The battle that followed was hard-fought, but eventually Abner and his men were defeated by David's men.
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. Asahel was a fast runner, like a gazelle racing across the open countryside.
19 E da A: benama molo dounananu, doagala: musa: hehenaia bobogei.
He chased after Abner with single-minded determination.
20 A: bena da beba: le amane sia: i, “A: sahele! Amo da dila: ?” “Ma!” e bu adole i.
Abner looked back and asked, “Is that you, Asahel?” “Yes, it's me,” 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.
Abner told him, “Leave me alone! Go and fight somebody else and take his weapons for yourself!” But Asahel refused to 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: ?”
Abner warned Asahel again. “Stop chasing me!” he shouted. “Why do you want me to kill you? How could I ever face 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 wouldn't stop chasing him, so Abner drove the handle of his spear into his belly. It came out the back, and he fell down dead right there. Everyone who passed by stopped at 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 set off to chase after Abner. By the time the sun went down they had got as far as the hill of Ammah near 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.
Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin rallied to him there, forming a tight group around him standing at the top of the 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: ?”
Abner shouted to Joab: “Do we have to keep killing each other forever? Don't you realize that if we go on it'll only get worse? How long are you going to wait before you order your men to stop chasing 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 God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not said anything, my men would have continued chasing their brothers until the 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.
Joab blew the horn so all the men stopped—they didn't continue chasing or fighting the Israelites.
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.
All through the night Abner and his men marched through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and continued all morning until they arrived back 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 got back from chasing Abner, he gathered all the men together. Nineteen of David's men were missing in addition to Asahel.
31 Be Bediamini fi dunu (A: bena ea dunu) amo 360 agoane da Da: ibidi ea dunu amolalia fane legei dagoi ba: i.
However, they had killed three hundred and sixty of Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin.
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.
They took Asahel's body and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Then they marched all through the night and reached Hebron at dawn.
