2 Samuel 15
1 Sometime later, Absalom got himself a chariot with horses, and fifty men as bodyguards 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 used to get up early and stand by the main road that led to the city gate. When people brought a case to the king for his decision, Absalom would call out and ask them, “What town are you from?” If they replied, “Your servant is from this particular tribe 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 tell them, “Look, you're in the right and you've got a good case. It's such a shame there's no one from the king to hear you.”
Dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Eny, tsara sy marina ny raharahanao, saingy tsy misy olona voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka hihaino anao.
4 Then he would say, “If only there was someone to appoint me as judge for the country. Then everyone could come to me with their case or complaint, and I would give them 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 When anyone came to bow down before him, Absalom would stop them by reaching out his hand, taking hold of him, and kissing him.
Ary isaky ny nisy olona nanatona hiankohoka teo anoloany, dia narosony ny tànany ka noraisiny sy norohany izany olona izany.
6 This is how Absalom treated all the Israelites who came to the king for his judgment. So he captured the loyalty 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 Four years later Absalom asked the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a promise I 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 I, your servant, made this promise while living at Geshur in Aram, saying: ‘If the Lord does bring 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 went to Hebron.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara ary. Dia niainga izy ka nankany Hebrona.
10 Then Absalom sent his accomplices among all the tribes of Israel, saying, “When you hear the sound of the ram's horn, you shout, ‘Absalom is king at 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 went with Absalom. They had been invited and went in all innocence, because they didn't know anything about what was planned.
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 sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's advisor, asking him to come from Giloh, the town where he lived. The conspiracy grew stronger, and Absalom's followers went on 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 A messenger came to tell David, “Absalom has the loyalty of the men of Israel.”
Ary nisy olona tonga tao amin’ i Davida ka nilaza hoe: Lasa nanaraka an’ i Absaloma fon’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
14 David said to all the officials with him in Jerusalem, “Quick! Let's go! Otherwise we won't be able to get away from Absalom! We must leave immediately, or he will soon catch up with us, attack us, and kill the people here in the city.”
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 “Whatever Your Majesty decides, we'll do what you want,” the king's servants replied.
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indreto ny mpanomponao hanao araka izay rehetra sitraky ny mpanjaka tompoko.
16 The king set off with his whole household following him, but he left behind ten concubines to look after the palace.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka narahin’ ny ankohonany rehetra. Ary ny mpanjaka namela folo vavy tamin’ ny vaditsindranony hiandry trano.
17 The king left with all his soldiers 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 men marched past him, including all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had come with 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 The king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you coming with us too? Go back and stay with the new king, because you are a foreigner and an exile a long way from home.
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 You only just got here, so why should I make you wander around with us now when I don't even know where I am going? Go back and take your men with you. May the Lord show you kindness 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 the Lord lives, and as Your Majesty lives, wherever Your Majesty may be, whether dead or alive, that's where your servant will 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 “Go ahead, march on!” David replied. Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the families that 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 All the people in the countryside were crying aloud as everyone with David passed by. They crossed the Kidron Valley with the king on the way toward 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 there too, and all the Levites were with him, carrying the Ark of God's Agreement. They set down the Ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until everyone had left 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 told Zadok, “Take the Ark of God back to the city. If I find the Lord approves of me, he will bring me back and let me see both the Ark and his Tent 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 says, ‘I'm not happy with you,’ then here I stand. Let him do to me whatever he thinks best.”
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 told Zadok the priest, “You understand the situation, don't you? Go back to the city safely with your son Ahimaaz, and also Jonathan, son of Abiathar. You and Abiathar take both of your sons back 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 I'll wait at the fords of the wilderness until I hear from you.”
Indro, izaho hijanonjanona eny amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay teny avy atỳ aminareo hambara amiko.
29 Zadok and Abiathar took the Ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there.
Ary Zadoka sy Abiatara nitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra niverina nankany Jerosalema ihany; dia nitoetra tany izy.
30 David went on his way up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he did so. He had his head covered, and walked barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads, weeping as they went along.
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 David was told, “Ahithophel is one of the people conspiring with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, please make Ahithophel's advice worthless.”
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 arrived at the top of the Mount of Olives, where people worshiped God, there to meet him was Hushai the Archite, with his robe torn and with 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 told him, “If you come with me, you'll only be a burden to me,
ary hoy Davida taminy: Raha miara-mandroso amiko ianao, dia ho tonga enta-mavesatra amiko;
34 but if you go back to the city and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, Your Majesty! Formerly I worked for your father, but now I'll work for you,’ then you can block Ahithophel's advice for me.
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 Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there too. Tell them everything you hear in 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 Their two sons, Ahimaaz and Jonathan, are there with them. Send them to me so they can tell me 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 David's friend Hushai arrived back in Jerusalem at the same time Absalom was entering the city.
Koa dia tonga tany an-tanàna Hosay, sakaizan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny nahatongavan’ i Absaloma tany Jerosalema.
