< Kings II 15 >

1 And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Ary nony afaka izany, Absaloma dia nanomana kalesy iray sy soavaly ary olona dimam-polo lahy ho mpihazakazaka eo alohany.
2 And Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgment, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of 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 And Abessalom said to him, See, thy affairs [are] right and clear, yet thou hast no one [appointed] of the king to hear thee.
Dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Eny, tsara sy marina ny raharahanao, saingy tsy misy olona voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka hihaino anao.
4 And Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him!
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 And it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
Ary isaky ny nisy olona nanatona hiankohoka teo anoloany, dia narosony ny tànany ka noraisiny sy norohany izany olona izany.
6 And Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Abessalom gained 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 And it came to pass after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.
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 thy servant vowed a vow when I dwelt at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.
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 And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Chebron.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara ary. Dia niainga izy ka nankany Hebrona.
10 And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall ye say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
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 And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
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 And Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
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 And there came a messenger to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
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 his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of 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 And the king's servants said to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] thy servants.
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indreto ny mpanomponao hanao araka izay rehetra sitraky ny mpanjaka tompoko.
16 And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka narahin’ ny ankohonany rehetra. Ary ny mpanjaka namela folo vavy tamin’ ny vaditsindranony hiandry trano.
17 And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house.
Ary nivoaka ny mpanjaka, ka dia nanaraka azy ny vahoaka rehetra, ary nitoetra teo Faratanàna izy.
18 And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they went on before the king.
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 And the king said to Ethi, the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and thou has come forth as a sojourner out of thy place.
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 Whereas thou camest yesterday, shall I to-day cause thee to travel with us, and shalt thou [thus] change thy place? thou didst come forth yesterday, and to-day shall I set thee in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go whithersoever I may go: return then, and cause thy brethren to return with thee, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with thee.
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 And Ethi answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wheresoever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall thy 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 And the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude 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 And all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on 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 And behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all 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 And the king said to Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will shew me it and its beauty.
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 thus, I have no pleasure in thee; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.
Fa raha izao kosa no lazainy: Tsy sitrako ianao, dia inty aho, aoka Izy hanao amiko araka izay ataony ho tsara.
27 And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, thou shalt return to the city in peace, and Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
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 Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.
Indro, izaho hijanonjanona eny amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay teny avy atỳ aminareo hambara amiko.
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there.
Ary Zadoka sy Abiatara nitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra niverina nankany Jerosalema ihany; dia nitoetra tany izy.
30 And David went up by the ascent of [the mount of] Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.
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 And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also [is] among the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
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 And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having rent his garment, and earth [was] upon 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 And David said to him, If thou shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me;
ary hoy Davida taminy: Raha miara-mandroso amiko ianao, dia ho tonga enta-mavesatra amiko;
34 but if thou shall return to the city, and shalt say to Abessalom, Thy brethren are passed over, and the king thy father is passed over after me: and now I am thy servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of thy father, and now I [am] thy humble servant—so shalt thou disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.
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 And, behold, [there are] there with thee Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that thou shalt hear of the house of the king, thou shalt report it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
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 Behold, [there are] there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them ye shall report to me every word which ye shall 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 Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
Koa dia tonga tany an-tanàna Hosay, sakaizan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny nahatongavan’ i Absaloma tany Jerosalema.
