< 2 Samuel 20 >

1 Now a worthless man named Sheba son of Bichri, a Benjamite, happened to be there, and he blew the ram’s horn and shouted: “We have no share in David, no inheritance in Jesse’s son. Every man to his tent, O Israel!”
Nakapasamak iti isu met laeng a lugar nga adda iti maysa a manangriribok a managan iti Siba a putot ni Bikri, a Benjaminita. Pinuyotanna ti trumpeta ket kinunana, “Awan ti bingaytayo kenni David, kasta met nga awan ti tawidtayo iti putot ni Jesse. Agawid ketdin ti tunggal maysa iti pagtaenganna diay Israel.”
2 So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Isu a pinanawan amin dagiti Israelita ni David ket sinurotda ni Siba a putot ni Bikri. Ngem sinurot dagiti tattao ti Juda ti ari, manipud iti Jordan agingga idiay Jerusalem.
3 When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace, and he placed them in a house under guard. He provided for them, but he no longer slept with them. They were confined until the day of their death, living as widows.
Idi dimteng ni David iti palasiona idiay Jerusalem, innalana dagiti sangapulo nga adipen nga assawana nga imbatina a mangtaripato iti palasio, ket pinagnaedna ida iti balay a nainget ti pannakabantayna. Impaayna dagiti masapsapulda, ngem saannan a kinaidda pay ida. Isu a naiserraanda agingga iti aldaw nga ipapatayda, nagbibiagda a kasda la balo.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.”
Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Amasa, “Ummongem dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda iti unos ti tallo nga aldaw; masapul nga addaka met ditoy.”
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time allotted him.
Isu a napan inayaban ni Amasa dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda, ngem nagtalinaed isuna iti nabaybayag ngem iti ingkeddeng ti ari a tiempo nga imbilinna kenkuana.
6 And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us.”
Isu a kinuna ni David kenni Abisai, “Ita, nakarkaronto pay a kinaranggas ti aramiden ni Siba a putot ni Bikri kadatayo ngem ti inaramid ni Absalom. Ikuyogmo dagiti adipen ti apom, dagiti soldadok, ket kamatenyo isuna, ta di ket mangbirok kadagiti natalged a siudad ket makalibas isuna iti panagkitatayo.”
7 So Joab’s men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, marched out of Jerusalem in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri.
Simmaruno ngarud kenkuana dagiti tattao ni Joab, a kaduada dagiti Cheretita ken dagiti Peletita ken dagiti amin a maingel a mannakigubat. Pinanawanda ti Jerusalem tapno kamatenda ni Siba a putot ni Bikri.
8 And while they were at the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa joined them. Now Joab was dressed in military attire, with a dagger strapped to his belt. And as he stepped forward, he slipped the dagger from its sheath.
Idi addadan idiay ayan ti dakkel a bato idiay Gabaon, dimteng ni Amasa a sumabat kadakuada. Nakaaruat ni Joab ti kalasag a pakigubat, a pakaibilangan ti barikes iti siketna nga addaan iti nakakaluban a kampilan a nakagalot iti daytoy. Iti panpannagnana nga agpasango, natnag ti kampilan.
9 “Are you well, my brother?” Joab asked Amasa. And with his right hand Joab grabbed Amasa by the beard to kiss him.
Isu a kinuna ni Joab kenni Amasa, “Naimbag kadi ti amin kenka, kasinsinko?” Siaayat nga iniggaman ni Joab ti barbas ni Amasa babaen iti kannawan nga imana tapno agkanna isuna.
10 Amasa was not on guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach and spilled out his intestines on the ground. And Joab did not need to strike him again, for Amasa was dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
Saan a nadlaw ni Amasa ti imuko nga adda iti kannigid nga ima ni Joab. Dinuyok ni Joab ti buksit ni Amasa ket natnag dagiti bagisna iti daga. Saanen nga inulit pay a dinuyok ni Joab isuna, ket natay ni Amasa. Isu a kinamat ni Joab ken ni Abisai a kabsatna ni Siba a putot ni Bikri.
11 One of Joab’s young men stood near Amasa and said, “Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!”
Ket nagtakder iti abay ni Amasa ti maysa kadagiti tattao ni Joab, ken kinuna ti lalaki, “Siasinoman nga umanamong kenni Joab, ken siasinoman a para kenni David, surotenna ni Joab.”
12 But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were stopping there, he dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.
Naidasay ni Amasa a nadigos iti darana iti tengnga ti dalan. Idi nakita ti lalaki a nagtalinaed a nakatakder dagiti tattao, binagkatna ni Amasa manipud iti dalan ket impanna iti tay-ak. Inabbonganna ti lupot isuna gapu ta nakitana a ti tunggal tao a lumabas ket agtakder.
13 As soon as Amasa’s body was removed from the road, all the men went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
Kalpasan a naibagkat ni Amasa manipud iti dalan, simmurot amin dagiti tattao kenni Joab a mangkamat kenni Siba a putot ni Bikri.
14 Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel-beth-maacah and through the entire region of the Berites, who gathered together and followed him.
Linabsan ni Siba dagiti amin a tribu ti Israel a nagturong iti Abel, iti Bet Maaca, ken kadagiti amin a daga ti Berites, a naguummong ken kimmamat met kenni Siba.
15 And Joab’s troops came and besieged Sheba in Abel-beth-maacah and built a siege ramp against the outer rampart of the city. As all the troops with Joab were battering the wall to topple it,
Nakamatanda isuna ket pinalawlawanda isuna idiay Abel ti Bet Maaca. Pinalawlawanda iti nabunton a daga ti igid ti pader ti siudad. Minaso dagiti amin nga armada a kadua ni Joab ti pader tapno marba daytoy. Ket nagpukkaw ti maysa a masirib a babai iti siudad,
16 a wise woman called out from the city, “Listen! Listen! Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak with him.”
“Dumngegka, pangaasim ta dumngegka, Joab! Umasidegka kaniak tapno makatungtongka.”
17 When he had come near to her, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he replied. “Listen to the words of your servant,” she said. “I am listening,” he answered.
Isu nga immasideg ni Joab kenkuana, ket kinuna ti babai, “Sika kadi ni Joab?” Simmungbat isuna, “Siak,” Ket kinuna ti babai kenkuana, “Denggem ti sao daytoy adipenmo.” Insungbatna, “Dumdumngegak.”
18 Then the woman said, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Seek counsel at Abel,’ and that is how disputes were settled.
Ket nagsao ti babai, “Masansan a maibaga idi un-unana a tiempo, 'Pudno a no dumawatka ti pammagbaga idiay Abel,' ket sulbaren dayta a pammagbaga ti parikutmo.
19 I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
Dakami ti siudad a maysa kadagiti katatalnaan ken kapupudnoan iti Israel. Padpadasenyo a dadaelen ti siudad nga ina iti Israel. Apay a kayatyo nga alun-onen ti tawid ni Yahweh?”
20 “Far be it!” Joab declared. “Far be it from me to swallow up or destroy!
Isu a simmungbat ni Joab ket kinunana, “Saan a kasta, saan a kasta kaniak, a rumbeng nga alun-onek wenno dadaelek.
21 That is not the case. But a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
Saan a pudno dayta. Ngem adda ti lalaki a naggapu iti turod ti pagilian ti Efraim, a managan ti Siba a putot ni Bikri, ket intag-ayna ti imana a maibusor iti ari, maibusor kenni David. Isukoyo isuna, ket pumanawak iti siudad.” Kinuna ti babai kenni Joab, “Maipuruak ti ulona kenka iti ngatoen ti pader.”
22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and his men dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
Ket napan ti babai kadagiti amin a tattao nga ammona. Pinutedda ti ulo ni Siba a putot ni Bikri, ket impurwakda daytoy kenni Joab. Kalpasanna, pinuyotanna ti trumpeta ket pinanawan dagiti tattao ni Joab ti siudad, nagawid ti tunggal maysa iti pagtaenganna. Ket nagsubli ni Joab idiay Jerusalem iti ayan ti ari.
23 Now Joab was over the whole army of Israel; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites;
Ita, ni Joab ti nangidadaulo kadagiti amin nga armada ti Israel, ken ni Benaias a putot ni Jehoyada ti nangidaulo kadagiti Cheretites ken kadagiti Peletites.
24 Adoram was in charge of the forced labor; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Ni Adoram ti nangidaulo kadagiti tattao nga agtrabaho nga ingkapilitan, ket ni Jehosafat a putot ni Ahilut ti tagailista.
25 Sheva was the scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Ni Siva ti sekretario ken da Zadok ken Abiatar dagiti papadi.
26 and Ira the Jairite was David’s priest.
Ni Ira a Jairita ti panguloen a ministro ni David.
