2 Samuel 15
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
Ary nony afaka izany, Absaloma dia nanomana kalesy iray sy soavaly ary olona dimam-polo lahy ho mpihazakazaka eo alohany.
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
Ary Absaloma nifoha maraina koa, dia nijanona teo anilan’ ny lalana mankeo am-bavahady, ka raha nisy olona nanana ady ho entiny any amin’ ny mpanjaka hotsaraina, dia nantsoin’ i Absaloma ka nanontaniany hoe: Avy any amin’ ny tanàna aninona ianao? Ary hoy izy: Avy any Anonana amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely ny mpanomponao.
3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
Dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Eny, tsara sy marina ny raharahanao, saingy tsy misy olona voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka hihaino anao.
4 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
Ary hoy koa Absaloma: Enga anie ka izaho no voatendry ho mpitsara amin’ ny tany, ary ho avy atỳ amiko ny olona rehetra izay manana ady sy teny hotsaraina, dia homeko rariny izy!
5 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
Ary isaky ny nisy olona nanatona hiankohoka teo anoloany, dia narosony ny tànany ka noraisiny sy norohany izany olona izany.
6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Ary toy izany no nataon’ i Absaloma tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka hotsaraina; ka dia voafetsin’ i Absaloma ho azy ny fon’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
7 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
Ary nony afaka efa-polo taona, dia hoy Absaloma tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho hankany Hebrona hanefa ny voadiko izay nivoadiako tamin’ i Jehovah.
8 For your servant made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
Fa nivoady aho mpanomponao, fony mbola nitoetra tany Gesora any Syria, nanao hoe: Raha mbola hampodin’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema ihany aho, dia hanompo an’ i Jehovah.
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara ary. Dia niainga izy ka nankany Hebrona.
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron!’”
Ary Absaloma naniraka mpitety nankeny amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hanao hoe: Raha vao mandre ny feon’ ny anjomara ianareo, dia miantsoa hoe: Absaloma no mpanjaka ao Hebrona.
11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
Ary nisy roan-jato lahy izay nasain’ i Absaloma, ka dia nanaraka azy avy tany Jerosalema, nefa nandeha tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fony izy ireo, fa tsy nahafantatra na inona na inona.
12 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
Ary Absaloma naniraka naka an’ i Ahitofela Gilonita, mpanolo-tsaina an’ i Davida, avy tao an-tanànany, dia tao Gilo, raha mbola nanatitra ny fanatitra izy. Ary nihamasaka ny tetika fikomiana, ka dia nihamaro mandrakariva ny olona nomba an’ i Absaloma.
13 Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
Ary nisy olona tonga tao amin’ i Davida ka nilaza hoe: Lasa nanaraka an’ i Absaloma fon’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
14 And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra izay tao aminy tany Jerosalema: Mitsangàna, andeha isika handositra, fa tsy hisy hahafahantsika amin’ i Absaloma; andeha hiala faingana, fandrao tamy faingana izy, ka tratrany eto isika, dia hataony idiran-doza tampoka eto isika, ary hasiany amin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ny tanàna.
15 The king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indreto ny mpanomponao hanao araka izay rehetra sitraky ny mpanjaka tompoko.
16 Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka narahin’ ny ankohonany rehetra. Ary ny mpanjaka namela folo vavy tamin’ ny vaditsindranony hiandry trano.
17 So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
Ary nivoaka ny mpanjaka, ka dia nanaraka azy ny vahoaka rehetra, ary nitoetra teo Faratanàna izy.
18 and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
Ary ny mpanompony rehetra nandeha teny anilany, ka ny miaramila mpiambina andriana rehetra sy ny Gatita rehetra, dia enin-jato lahy izay nanaraka azy avy tany Gata, nandeha teo alohan’ ny mpanjaka.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ Itahy Gatita: Nahoana no ianao avy no mba miaraka aminay? Miverena, ka mitoera any amin’ ny mpanjaka; fa hafa firenena sady mpivahiny ianao; modia ho any amin’ ny fonenanao.
20 In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
Fa vao omaly no nahatongavanao, ka anio va dia ho entiko manjenjena hiaraka aminay ianao? fa mandeha ho any amin’ izay azoko aleha aho, koa miverena ihany ianao, ary ento hiara-miverina aminao koa ny rahalahinao; ho aminao anie ny famindram-po sy ny fahamarinana.
21 But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
Fa Itahy namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny mpanjaka tompoko, izay hitoeran’ ny mpanjaka tompoko, na ho faty na ho velona, dia any koa no hitoeran’ ny mpanomponao.
22 “March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ Itahy: Andeha mandroso ary. Dia nandroso Itahy Gatita sy ny olony rehetra mbamin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy rehetra izay teo.
23 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
Ary ny olona rehetra dia nitomany nikaikaika, ary nita ny vahoaka rehetra; ny mpanjaka koa dia nita ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona, ary ny vahoaka rehetra nandroso tamin’ ny lalana mankany an-efitra.
24 Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
Ary indro koa Zadoka sy ny Levita rehetra nanaraka azy nitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra. Ary nametraka ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izy ary Abiatara niakatra mandra-pahatapitry ny olona rehetra avy tao an-tanàna.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Zadoka: Ento miverina ho any an-tanàna ihany ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra; fa raha mahita fitia eo imason’ i Jehovah aho, dia mbola ho entiny miverina ihany, ka hasehony ahy iny sy ny fitoerany.
26 But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
Fa raha izao kosa no lazainy: Tsy sitrako ianao, dia inty aho, aoka Izy hanao amiko araka izay ataony ho tsara.
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
Ary hoy koa ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Zadoka mpisorona: Tsy mpahita va ianao? miverena soa aman-tsara any an-tanàna ianao mbamin’ ny zanakareo roa lahy miaraka aminareo, dia Ahimaza zanakao sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Abiatara.
28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Indro, izaho hijanonjanona eny amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay teny avy atỳ aminareo hambara amiko.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
Ary Zadoka sy Abiatara nitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra niverina nankany Jerosalema ihany; dia nitoetra tany izy.
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
Ary Davida niakatra teny an-tendrombohitra Oliva ka nitomany teny am-piakarana ary nisaron-doha sady nandeha tsy nikiraro; ary ny vahoaka rehetra izay nanaraka azy samy nisaron-doha sy niakatra ary nitomany teny am-piakarana avokoa.
31 Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Ahitofela koa mba isan’ ny mpiray tetika amin’ i Absaloma. Dia hoy Davida: Mitaraina aminao aho, Jehovah ô, ampodio ho fahadalana ny hevitra ataon’ i Ahitofela.
32 When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
Ary nony tonga teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Davida, dia teo amin’ izay fivavahan’ ny olona tamin’ Andriamanitra, indro, avy hitsena azy Hosay Arkita, voatriatra ny akanjony sady nihosin-tany ny lohany;
33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
ary hoy Davida taminy: Raha miara-mandroso amiko ianao, dia ho tonga enta-mavesatra amiko;
34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
fa raha hiverina any an-tanàna kosa ianao ka hanao amin’ i Absaloma hoe: Ho mpanomponao aho, ry mpanjaka; efa mpanompon’ ny rainao ihany aho taloha, fa ankehitriny kosa dia mpanomponao, aho dia hofoananao hahasoa ahy ny hevitra ataon’ i Ahitofela.
35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Ary tsy ao aminao va Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona? Koa izay zavatra rehetra renao avy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, dia ambarao amin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona.
36 Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
Indreo, any aminy ny zanany roa lahy, dia Ahimaza, zanak’ i Zadoka, sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Abiatara; ary izy no hampitondrainareo izay rehetra renareo ho atỳ amiko.
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
Koa dia tonga tany an-tanàna Hosay, sakaizan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny nahatongavan’ i Absaloma tany Jerosalema.
