< 2 Samuel 17 >

1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set off in pursuit of David tonight.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Ahitofel kenni Absalom, “Ita palubosannak a pumili iti 12, 000 a lallaki, ken bumangonakto ket kamatek ni David inton rabii.
2 I'll attack him while he is tired and weak. I'll catch him by surprise and all his men will run away. I'll only kill the king
Mapanakto kenkuana inton nabannog ken nakapuy isuna ket maklaatto isuna gapu iti buteng. Agtatarayto dagiti tattao a kaduana, ket ti laeng ari iti darupek.
3 and bring everybody else back to you. When everybody returns apart from the one man you're after, the whole country will be at peace.”
Isublikto dagiti amin a tattao kenka, kas iti panagsubli iti nobia iti asawana, ket addaanto iti talna iti panagturaymo dagiti amin a tattao.”
4 This plan looked good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
Naay-ayo ni Absalom ken dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Israel iti imbaga ni Ahitofel.
5 But then Absalom said, “Call in Hushai the Archite too, and let's hear what he's got to say as well.”
Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom, “Ita ayabanyo met ni Cusai nga Arkita, ket denggentayo no ania iti makunana.”
6 When Hushai came in, Absalom, asked him, “Ahithophel has recommended this plan. Should we go ahead with it? If not, what's your suggestion?”
Idi dimteng ni Cusai iti ayan ni Absalom, impalawag ni Absalom kenni Cusai ti imbaga ni Ahitofel sana sinaludsod ni Cusai, “Rumbeng kadi nga aramidenmi ti imbaga ni Ahitofel? No saan, ibagam kadakami no ania ti maibalakadmo.”
7 “For once Ahithophel's advice isn't good,” Hushai replied.
Kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom, “Saan a nasayaat iti daytoy a kanito ti balakad ni Ahitofel.”
8 “You know what your father and his men are like. They're great fighters, and now they're as furious as a she-bear robbed of her cubs. In any case, your father is experienced in military tactics, and he won't spend the night with his men.
Kinuna pay ni Cusai, “Ammom a nabileg a mannakigubat ti amam ken dagiti tattaona, ket makaungetda, kasda la oso a natakaw dagiti urbonna iti kataltalonan. Maysa a mannakigubat iti amam; saan isuna a makikadua a maturog kadagiti soldadona ita a rabii.
9 Right now he's holed up in a cave or some place like that. If he attacks first and some of your men are killed, people who hear about it will say, ‘Absalom's men are being slaughtered.’
Kitaem, nalabit nga ita a kanito ket nakalemmeng isuna iti maysa nga abut wenno iti sabali a lugar. Mapasamakto nga inton mapapatay iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattaom iti rugrugi iti raut, ibaganto iti siasinoman a makangngeg iti daytoy, 'Adda pannakapapatay kadagiti soldado a sumurot kenni Absalom.'
10 Then even the bravest soldier who has the heart of a lion will be scared to death, because everyone in Israel knows that your father is a powerful man who has brave men with him.
Ket uray dagiti katuturedan a soldado, a kasla agpuspuso a leon, agbutengto gapu ta ammo iti amin nga Israel a maysa a maingel a tao ti amam, ken napipigsa unay dagiti tattaona.
11 My recommendation is that you call up the entire Israelite army from Dan to Beersheba—an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore! Once they've assembled, then you yourself lead them into battle!
Isu nga ibalakadko kenka a pagmaymaysaem koma nga ummongen dagiti amin nga Israel kenka, manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba, a kas kaado dagiti darat iti baybay, ket mapanka a mismo a makigubat.
12 Then we'll attack David wherever he is, and we'll fall on him as dew falls on the ground. Neither he nor a single one of all the men with him will be left alive!
Mapankaminto kenkuana sadinoman a pakasapulan kenkuana, ket kalubanmi isuna a kas iti panagtinnag ti linnaaw iti daga. Awanto ti ibatimi uray maysa kadagiti tattaona, wenno isuna a mismo, a sibibiag.
13 If he tries to find protection in a town, all of Israel will bring ropes to that town, and we will pull it down into the valley so that not even a stone will be left.”
No agkamang isuna iti maysa a siudad, ket mangipanto kadagiti tali dagiti amin nga Israel iti dayta a siudad ket iguyodminto daytoy iti karayan, agingga nga awanton uray maysa a bassit a bato a masarakan sadiay.”
14 Absalom and all the Israelite leaders said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” For the Lord had decided to block Ahithophel's good advice in order that he might bring disaster on Absalom.
Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom ken dagiti tattao ti Israel, “Nasaysayaat ti balakad ni Cusai nga Arkita ngem iti balakad ni Ahitofel.” Ta inkeddeng ni Yahweh iti pannakalaksid iti nasayaat a balakad ni Ahitofel tapno maiyeg iti pannakadadael kenni Absalom.
15 Hushai spoke to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, and told them, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the Israelite leaders to act in one way, but I have advised them to act in this different way.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Cusai kada Zadok ken Abiatar a papadi, “Binalakadan ni Ahitofel ni Absalom ken dagiti panglakayen ti Israel iti kasta, ken kastoy a wagas, ngem adda iti maysa a banag nga imbalakadko.
16 So send a message quickly to David and tell him, ‘Don't wait and spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but cross over immediately or the king and everybody with him will be destroyed.’”
Ita ngarud, agapurakayo ket inkayo ipadamag kenni David; ' Saankayo nga agkampo inton rabii iti pagballasiwan iti Araba, ngem aramidenyo iti amin a pamusposan tapno makaballasiwkayo, ta no saan ket maalun-on ti ari agraman dagiti amin a tattao a kaduana.'”
17 Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel because they couldn't be seen entering the city. A servant girl would come and tell them what was happening. Then they would go and let King David know.
Ita, adda nga agur-uray da Jonatan ken Ahimaas idiay igid iti ubbog ti Rogel; adda maysa nga adipen a babai a kadawyan a mapan agidanon kadagiti mensahe kadakuada. Kalpasanna mapanda ibaga kenni Ari David, tapno saan ida a makita a mapmapan iti siudad.
18 But a boy did see them and he told Absalom. So the two left immediately and went to the house of a man in the town of Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed into it.
Ngem iti daytoy a tiempo, nakita ida iti maysa a bumarito ket imbagana kenni Absalom. Isu a sidadaras a pimmanaw ni Jonatan ken ni Ahimaas ket napanda iti balay ti maysa a tao idiay Bahurim, addaan daytoy a lalaki iti bubon iti paraanganna, nga isu ti bimmabaanda.
19 His wife took a cloth to cover the well and spread it out over the opening and then scattered grain over it. No one knew the men were there.
Innala iti asawa ti lalaki ti pagkalub iti bubon ket inyabbongna daytoy iti ngarab ti bubon, ken winarisanna kadagiti bukbukel iti rabaw daytoy, isu nga awan ti makaammo nga adda iti uneg ti bubon da Jonathan ken Ahimaas.
20 When Absalom's officers arrived they asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” “They crossed over the stream,” she replied. The men searched for them but didn't find them, so they went back to Jerusalem.
Napan dagiti tattao ni Absalom iti balay ti babai ket kinunada, “Sadino ti ayan da Ahimaas ken Jonatan?” Imbaga ti babai kadakuada, “Nagaballasiwda iti karayan.” Kalpasan a kinitada iti aglawlaw ket saanda ida a nasarakan, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem.
21 After Absalom's officers left, the two men climbed out of the well and rushed off to give the king their message. “Have everybody get up and cross the river right away, for Ahithophel's advice is to attack you immediately.”
Ket naaramid kalpasan a nakapanawda, rimuar da Jonatan ken Ahimaas iti bubon. Napanda impadamag kenni Ari David; imbagada kenkuana, “Tumakderkayo ket partakanyo ti bumallasiw iti danum gapu ta nagibalakad iti kasta ken kastoy ni Ahitofel maipapan kadakayo.”
22 David and everybody with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By the time it got light there wasn't anybody who hadn't crossed over.
Timmakder ngarud ni David ken dagiti amin a tattao a kaduana, ket binallasiwda ti Jordan. Awan uray maysa kadakuada iti saan a nakaballasiw iti Karayan Jordan sakbay nga aglawag iti agsapa.
23 When Ahithophel realized that his advice had been ignored, he saddled up his donkey and left for his home in the town where he lived. He put his affairs in order and then he hanged himself. He died and was buried in his father's tomb.
Idi naammoan ni Ahitofel a saan a nasurot ti balakadna, sinillianna ti asnona sa pimmanaw. Nagawid isuna iti bukodna a siudad, inurnosna iti balayna, sana imbitin ti bagina. Iti kastoy a wagas natay isuna ken naitabon iti tanem ni amana.
24 David went on to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan with the entire Israelite army.
Kalpasanna, dimteng ni David iti Mahanaim. Kasta met ni Absalom, binallasiwna ti Jordan, isuna ken amin dagiti tattao iti Israel a kaduana.
25 Absalom had put Amasa in charge of the army to replace Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, the Ishmaelite who lived with Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Ket insaad ni Absalom ni Amasa a mangidaulo iti armada imbes a ni Joab. Ni Amasa ket putot a lalaki ni Jeter nga Israelita, a nakikaidda kenni Abigail a putot a babai ni Naas ken kabsat a babai ni Zeruyas, nga ina ni Joab.
26 The Israelites under Absalom set up camp in the land of Gilead.
Kalpasanna, nagkampo ni Absalom iti daga ti Galaad.
27 When David arrived at Mahanaim, he was welcomed by Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir, son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
Ket naaramid idi nakadanun ni David iti Mahanaim, a ni Sobi a putto a lalaki ni Naas iti Ammonita a taga Raba, ken ni Makir a putto ni Amiel a taga Lodebar, ken ni Barzillai a maysa a Galaadita a taga Rogelim,
28 They brought bedding, bowls, and clay jars, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
ket nangiyegda kadagiti ikamen ken ules, malukong ken banga, ken trigo, arina a naaramid manipud iti sebada, nakirog a bukel, bukel ti utong, patani,
29 honey, curds, sheep, and cheese made from cow's milk for David and the people with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry, tired, and thirsty from their time in the wilderness.”
diro, mantikilya, karnero, ken keso. Tapno makapangan ni David ken dagiti tattao a kaduana. Kinuna dagitoy a tattao, “Mabisin dagiti tattao, nabannog, ken mawaw idiay let-ang.”
