Kings II 14
1 And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was towards Abessalom.
Nioni’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià te amy Absalome ty arofo’ i mpanjakay.
2 And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray you, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint you not with oil, and you shall be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
Nañitrik’ amy Tekoý t’Ioabe, nangalake rakemba mahihitse boak’ añe, le nanao ty hoe ama’e: Miambane ama’o, ehe misarea mpandala, le mañombea sarom-pandalàñe, le ko mihosotse menake, fa mintse rakemba ela nandala vilasy;
3 And you shall go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
vaho akia mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, misaontsia an-tsata zao. Aa le napo’ Ioabe am-palie’e ty ho saontsie’e.
4 So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.
Aa ie nisaontsy amy mpanjakay i rakemba nte-Tekoý, le nibabok’ an-tane eo, nidrakadrakake nanao ty hoe: Oloro ry mpanjaka.
5 And the king said to her, What is the matter with you? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ino ty mañore azo? Le hoe re: Toe vantotse iraho, mate valy.
6 And moreover your handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one struck the other his brother, and killed him.
Nanañ’ anadahy roe ty anak’ ampata’o, aa ie nifanehak’ an-kivok’ añe, tsy teo ty hampifanarake iareo fa zinevo’ ty raike ty raike namono aze.
7 And behold the whole family rose up against your handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that struck his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.
Ie amy zao, nitroatse niatreatre ami’ ty mpitoro’o o longo iabio nanao ty hoe: Aseseo i nañè-doza aman-drahalahi’ey hamonoa’ay ty amy fiain-drahalahi’e zinevo’ey, handrotsaha’ iareo ka ty mpandova. Izay ty hamonoa’ iareo ty sehangam-poroha mirekake, tsy hanañam-baliko ndra tahinañe ndra tariratse ambone tane atoy.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to your house, and I will give commandment concerning you.
Le hoe i mpanjakay tamy rakembay: Mimpolia mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo, le hamantoke ty ama’o iraho.
9 And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house [be] the iniquity, and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
Aa le hoe i rakemba nte-Tekoiý tamy mpanjakay: O ry talèko, mpanjaka, ee te ho amako ty hakeo naho ami’ty anjomban-draeko vaho halio tahiñe ty fiambesa’ i mpanjakay.
10 And the king said, Who was it that spoke to you? you shall even bring him to me, and [one] shall not touch him any more.
Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ndra iaia ty hiatreatre azo, aseseo amako le tsy ho tsapae’e.
11 And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, [As] the lord lives, not a hair of your son shall fall to the ground.
Aa le hoe re: Miambane ama’o, ehe te ho tiahi’ i mpanjakay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, le tsy hijoy ka ty mpamale fate, tsy mone harotsa’ iereo i anakoy. Le hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, leo raik’ ami’ty maroi’ i ana’oy tsy hipok’ an-tane.
12 And the woman said, Let now your servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Le hoe i rakembay: Mihalaly ama’o: adono hinday entañe raik’ amy talèko mpanjakay ty anak’ ampata’o. Le hoe re Misaontsia.
13 And the woman said, Why have you devised this thing against the people of God? or [is] this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?
Aa hoe i rakembay: Ino arè ty nikililia’o am’ondatin’ Añahareo o raha zao, t’ie, amy saontsy zay ty mete nampanan-kakeo i mpanjakay kanao tsy ampihitrife’e himpoly i naitoañey.
14 For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.
Amy te hivetrake zahay, manahake ty rano nadoañe an-tane, ie tsy mete tovizeñe; tsy mirihy ondaty t’i Andrianañahare; f’ie toe misafiry lalañe, soa tsy hatao añombelahi-mavo i naitoañey.
15 And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, [the reason is] that the people will see me, and your handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
Aa kanao nimb’ etoa iraho nanese o entañe zao amy talèko mpanjakay, le amy te nañembañe ahy ondatio; le hoe iraho, Ho volañeko amy mpanjakay henaneo, hera hanoe’e ty halalim-pitoro’e.
16 for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God.
Amy te hijanjiñe i mpanjakay, handrombake i mpitoro’ey ampità’ indaty te handrotsak’ ahy naho i anakoy amy lovan’ Añaharey.
17 And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious, —[well]: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord your God shall be with you.
Le hoe ty anak’ ampata’o: Ehe te hañohò ahy ty saontsin-talèko mpanjaka; fa hambañe ami’ty anjelin’ Añahare ty talèko mpanjaka, hahafitsikarake ty soa ami’ty raty; aa le ho ama’o abey t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
18 And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you, the matter which I ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
Le hoe i mpanjakay amy rakembay: Ehe, ko aetak’ amako ty hañontaneako azo. Le hoe i rakembay: Ehe misaontsia, ry talèko mpanjaka.
19 And the king said, [Is] not the hand of Joab in all this matter with you? and the woman said to the king, [As] your soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tsy ama’o amo raha zao hao ty fità’ Ioabe? Le hoe ty natoi’ i rakembay: Kanao veloñe ty arofo’o, ry talèko mpanjaka, tsy eo ty mahafitolike mb’am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia amy nisaontsie’ i mpanjakaiy; fa toe nihalaly amako t’i Ioabe mpitoro’o, ie ty nampipoke i entañe iaby zay am-bava’ o anak’ am-pata’oo;
20 In order that this form of speech might come about [it was] that your servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as [is] the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
ty hampiova ty tarehe’ i rahay ty nanoe’ Ioabe mpitoro’o o raha zao; toe mahihitse o talèkoo hoe hihin’ anjelin’ Añahare, hahafohina’e ze he’e an-tane atoy.
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to you according to this your word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.
Aa le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Ioabe: Mahaoniña arè, fa nanoeko; aa le akia, hitrifo añe i ajalahy Absalome.
22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
Nibabok’ an-dahara’e mb’an-tane t’Ioabe naho nidrakadrakake, vaho nañandriañe i mpanjakay, le hoe t’Ioabe: Fohi’ ty mpitoro’o henaneo te nahatrea fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o ry talèko mpanjaka, ami’ty nanoe’ i mpanjakay i halalim-pitoro’ey.
23 And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
Aa le niavotse t’Ioabe nimb’e Gesore mb’eo vaho nendese’e mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Absalome.
24 And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ampitoliho mb’ añ’anjomba’e mb’eo re tsy hahatrea ty tareheko. Aa le nivìke mb’añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Absalome; vaho tsy niisa’e ty lahara’ i mpanjakay.
25 And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Ie amy zao, tsy ia e Israele ao ty nahazo engeñe ami’ty faràm-binta’e naho tsy i Absalome, ie tsy nanan-kandra boak’ an-delam-pandia’e pak’ an-dengon’ añambone’e.
26 And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him, ) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
Aa ie harate’e ty añambone’e—amy t’ie niharatse i añambone’ey am-pigadoñan-taoñe, amy te navesatse ama’e o maròi’eo, le nañitsifa’e—naho nandanja i maròi’ey le ni-roanjato amy fandanjam-panjakay.
27 And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
Nisamak’ ana-dahy telo t’i Absalome, naho anak’ ampela raike, natao Tamare ty añara’e; ampela soa vintañe.
28 And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
Aa le nimoneñe roe taoñe e Ierosalaime ao t’i Absalome vaho tsy niisa’e ty lahara’ i mpanjakay.
29 And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
Le nampihitrife’ i Absalome t’Ioabe, hañirake aze mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo; f’ie tsy nimete hiheo mb’ama’e; nampisangitrife’e fañindroe’e fe tsy nimete homb’eo.
30 And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field [is] next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes tore, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.
Aa le hoe re amo mpitoro’eo: Inao, marine i tetekoy ty tete’ Ioabe, akia ivaño afo. Aa le namiañ’ afo an-tete’e ao o mpitoro’ i Absalomeo.
31 And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
Niongak’ amy zao t’Ioabe, nimb’ añ’ anjomba’i Absalome mb’eo, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Aa vaho akore ty nanodora’ o mpitoro’oo i tetekoy?
32 And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come hither, and I will send you to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Absalome Ioabe: Inao! toe nampihitrifeko ami’ty hoe: Mb’etoa, hañirahako azo amy mpanjakay, hanao ty hoe: Ino ty nimpoliako boake Gesore añe? Ndra kitra’e mbe nitambatse añe; aa ehe ampahaoniño ahy ty lahara’ i mpanjakay; aa lehe aman-kakeo iraho, adono re hañoho-doza amako.
33 And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
Niheo amy mpanjakay t’Ioabe, nitalily ama’e; aa le kinanji’e t’i Absalome naho nimb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo nidrodrètse mb’an-tane ty lahara’e añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, vaho norofa’ i mpanjakay t’i Absalome.
