2 Samuel 18
1 Then David reviewed his troops and appointed over them commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
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.
2 He sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the troops, “I will surely march out with you as well.”
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.”
3 But the people pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to flee, they will pay no attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for now if you support us from the city.”
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.”
4 “I will do whatever seems best to you,” the king replied. So he stood beside the gate, while all the troops marched out by hundreds and by thousands.
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.
5 Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom.
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.
6 So David’s army marched into the field to engage Israel in the battle, which took place in the forest of Ephraim.
Da: ibidi ea dadi gagui wa: i da sogega asili, Ifala: ime iwilaga Isala: ili dunuma gegei.
7 There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.
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.
8 The battle spread over the whole countryside, and that day the forest devoured more people than the sword.
Gegesu da soge huluane amo ganodini asi. Dunu amo da iwila ganodini bogoi ilia idi da dunu gegesu ganodini bogoi ilia idi baligi dagoi.
9 Now Absalom was riding on his mule when he met the servants of David, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so that he was suspended in midair.
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.
10 When one of the men saw this, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!”
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!”
11 “You just saw him!” Joab exclaimed. “Why did you not strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a warrior’s belt!”
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!”
12 The man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels of silver were weighed out into my hands, I would not raise my hand against the son of the king. For we heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’
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!’
13 If I had jeopardized my own life —and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have abandoned me.”
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.”
14 But Joab declared, “I am not going to wait like this with you!” And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak tree.
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.
15 And ten young men who carried Joab’s armor surrounded Absalom, struck him, and killed him.
Amalalu, Youa: be ea dadi gagui dunu nabuane gala da gadenene misini, A:basalome bogoma: ne dabuasilisi.
16 Then Joab blew the ram’s horn, and the troops broke off their pursuit of Israel because Joab had restrained them.
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.
17 They took Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge mound of stones over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled, each to his home.
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.
18 During his lifetime, Absalom had set up for himself a pillar in the King’s Valley, for he had said, “I have no son to preserve the memory of my name.” So he gave the pillar his name, and to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.
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.
19 Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
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”
20 But Joab replied, “You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but you must not do so today, because the king’s son is dead.”
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.”
21 So Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running.
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.
22 Ahimaaz son of Zadok, however, persisted and said to Joab, “Regardless of whatever may happen, please let me also run behind the Cushite!” “My son,” Joab replied, “why do you want to run, since you will not receive a reward?”
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.”
23 “No matter what, I want to run!” he replied. “Then run!” Joab told him. So Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.
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.
24 Now David was sitting between the two gates when the watchman went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall, looked out, and saw a man running alone.
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.
25 So he called out and told the king. “If he is alone,” the king replied, “he bears good news.” As the first runner drew near,
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.
26 the watchman saw another man running, and he called out to the gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone!” “This one also brings good news,” said the king.
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.”
27 The watchman said, “The first man appears to me to be running like Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” “This is a good man,” said the king. “He comes with good news.”
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.”
28 Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, “All is well!” And he bowed facedown before the king. He continued, “Blessed be the LORD your God! He has delivered up the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”
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.”
29 The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was.”
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.”
30 “Move aside,” said the king, “and stand here.” So he stepped aside.
Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Gagoe aligila masa!” Amola e da amogawi asili, lelu.
31 Just then the Cushite came and said, “May my lord the king hear the good news: Today the LORD has avenged you of all who rose up against you!”
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.”
32 The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And the Cushite replied, “May what has become of the young man happen to the enemies of my lord the king and to all who rise up against you to harm you.”
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!”
33 The king was shaken and went up to the gate chamber and wept. And as he walked, he cried out, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
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!”
