2 Samuel 20

1 A rabble-rouser called Sheba, son of Bichri, from the tribe of Benjamin, happened to be there. He blew the ram's horn and shouted: “We have no interest in David, no commitment to Jesse's son. Israelites, let's all go home!”

Hagi Benzameni nagapintira mago nera Sibakino, kefo avu'ava'ene ne' mani'ne. Ana nera Bikri nemofokino miko Israeli vahe'mo'za antahisazegu ufe nereno amanage hu'ne, Israeli veamota, Deviti'a tagri nagapinti nera omani'neanki, atreta nontamirega vuta eta hiho. Ama Jesi nemofo'a magore huno erisantima haresuna zana ontamigahie.

2 So all the men of Israel abandoned David to follow Sheba, son of Bichri. But the men of Judah accompanied their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

Hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Devitina atre'za Siba'ene vu'naze. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Jodani tintetira Devitina avariri'za Jerusalemi vu'naze.

3 When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to look after the palace and put them in a house under guard. He took care of their needs but he didn't sleep with them. They were imprisoned until they died, living like widows.

Hagi Deviti'a Jerusalemima uhanatino noma'ama ome enerino nemanino'a, 10ni'a henka a'nema'ama kuma kegava hiho hige'za Jerusalemima mani'naza a'neramina zamavareno mago nompi zamantege'za mani'nageno ne'zane mago'azana nezamino mago'a vahe huzmanteg'za kegava huzmante'naze. Hianagi ana a'nea ome zamanteno omasege'za, ana a'nemo'za kento ane manizaza hu'za mani'ne'za ufri'naze.

4 Then the king ordered Amasa, “Call up the army of Judah. Have them come to me within three days, and you come too.”

Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Amasana asmi'ne, 3'a knamofo agu'afi kagrane Juda vene'nea ke hunka amare eme atru hiho!

5 Amasa called up the army of Judah, but he took longer than the time he was given.

Higeno Amasa'a vuno mika Juda vene'nea ome kehu atru hu'neanagi, ana eri'zama ome eriana kini ne'mo'ma hu'nea kna agatereno za'zate ana eri'zana eri'ne.

6 David then spoke to Abishai, saying, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri is going to cause us more trouble than Absalom did. Take the king's men and chase him down, or he will take over fortified towns and get away from us.”

Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Abisaiana asmi'ne, Absalomu'ma hurante'nea hara agatereno Bekri nemofo Siba'a menina ra ha' hurantegahie. E'ina hu'negu ru tatreno mago'a hanavenentake vihu me'ne'nia rankumapi ufre'nigi, hankave sondia vaheni'a zamavarenka arotago hunka vuo.

7 So Joab's men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the experienced fighters, marched out of Jerusalem to chase down Sheba, son of Bichri.

Hagi Abisaia'ene Joapukea mika sondia vahe'zniane, kini ne'ma kegavama hunentaza hanavenentake sondia vahe'ene Kireti vahe'ene Peliti vahe'enena nezamavareke, Jerusalemi kumara atre'za Bikri nemofo Sibanku ome hakeku vu'naze.

8 While they were at the large rock in Gibeon, Amasa caught up with them. Joab was dressed for battle. Over his clothes was a belt around his waist with a dagger in its sheath. As he moved forward, it fell out.

Hagi ra have me'nere Gibioni kumate vazageno, anante Amasa'a ome tutagiha' huzamante'ne. Hagi Amasama azeri frufra hunaku Joapuma nevigeno'a, ha' kukena atanineno zaza bainati kazina amu nofipi rusi hu'nea bainati kazimo'a evurami'ne.

9 “How are you doing, my brother?” Joab asked Amasa. Joab held Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

Hagi Joapu'a Amasana musenke hunteno, nenafuga kagra knare hu'nano? Nehuno Joapu'a ome agazafeno antako hunte'naku'ma hiaza huno tamaga azanura agi' azokate azeri'ne.

10 Amasa wasn't prepared for the dagger in Joab's left hand. Joab stabbed him in the belly and his intestines poured out onto the ground. Joab didn't need to stab him twice, because Amasa was already dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai set off in pursuit of Sheba.

Hagi Joapu'ma osi kazima azampima eri'neana Amasa'a onkeno, kegava osigeno Joapu'a ana osi kazinu rimpa reraragufegeno rimpamo'a mopafi herafirami'ne. Hagi Joapu'a ru'enena akasino ore'neanki, magoke zupa Amasana kazina regeno fri'ne. Joapu'ene negna Abisaikea Bikri nemofo Sibana rotago huke vu'na'e.

11 One of Joab's men stood beside Amasa and called out, “If you're on Joab's side, and if you are on David's side, then follow Joab!”

Hagi Joapu kazigati mago sondia ne'mo otino, Amasa'ma frino me'nere oti'neno kezatino, Joapune Devitintegama ante'naku'ma hanamoka Joapu avaririo.

12 But Amasa was there, lying in his blood in the middle of the main road. When the man saw that everybody was stopping to look, he pulled the body off the road into a field and threw a cloth over it.

Hagi Amasa'a ka amu'nompi mase'neno, agra'a kora timpi maseno hapa nerege'za, sondia vahe'mo'za, anante eme oti'ne'za uruha nehazageno, kezamatia ne'mo'a Amasana kampinti avazu huno hozafi ome netreno, nakare ku erino refitente'ne.

13 Once Amasa's body was off the road, all the men followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba.

Hagi Amasa avufgama kampinti'ma eri atrege'za, maka vahe'mo'za Joapuna avariri'za Bikri nemofo Sibana ahenaku vu'naze.

14 In the meantime Sheba had gone around all the tribes of Israel and eventually ended up the town of Abel-beth-maacah. All the Bichrites gathered for battle and followed him into the town.

Hagi Siba'a mika Israeli naga nofi'mofo mopafi vugatereno, Abel-Betmaka vu'ne. Hagi Beriti nagara agri nagaki'za agrane hagerafi'za kuma agu'a ufre'naze.

15 Joab's army came and besieged Sheba in Abel-Beth-Maacah. They built a siege ramp against the town's outer wall. While all of Joab's army was battering the wall to knock it down,

Hagi Joapu sondia vahe'mo'za Abeli kumara avazagi kagite'za, kumamofo have kegina tavaontera mopa kate'za ante marerite'za, anante mani'ne'za ana have kegina nefragazageno,

16 a wise woman from the town called out, “Listen! Please listen! Tell Joab, ‘Come over here so I can speak to you.’”

ana kumapinti mago knare antahintahine a'mo kezanke huno, Tamagesa anteta antahiho, nagra Joapu'ene keaga hugahuanki kehinkeno erava'o hino.

17 He went over to her, and the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “Yes, that's me,” he replied. “Please listen to what I, your servant, have to say,” she said. “I'm listening,” he replied.

Higeno ana kema nentahino, Joapu'ma erava'o higeno, ana amo antahigeno, Kagra Joapugo higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Izo nagre. Higeno ana a'mo'a asamino, eri'za a'kamo'na hanua nanekea antahio, higeno Joapu'a huno, Izo nentahue.

18 Then the woman said, “In times gone by people used to say, ‘If you want advice, go to Abel,’ and that's how arguments were settled.

Hagi ana a'mo huno, Korapara amanage hu'za nehazane, mago'a hazanke'zama eri antefatgoma hunakura, Abeli kumate kva vahete vunka keaga eri antefatgo hugahane hunege'za ana hu'za keaga erinte fatgo nehazane.

19 I am one of the peaceful and faithful people of Israel. You're trying to destroy a town that's like a mother in Israel. Why do you want to tear down the Lord's possession?”

Hagi tagra Israeli vahe'mota ha' osu fru vahe mani'nonanki, nahigeta Israeli mopafima agima me'nea rankumara eri haviza hu'za nehaze. Na'a higeta Ra Anumzamofo zana eri haviza hu'za nehaze?

20 “Certainly not!” Joab answered. “It's not what I want—to destroy or tear down this town!

Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, I'o, nagra ama kumara eri haviza hu'za nosue.

21 That's not the intention. But a man called Sheba, son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has rebelled against the king, against David. Just hand over this one man and I will withdraw from the town.” “Fine,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown over the wall to you.”

Hagi Efraemi agona mopafinti ne' Bekri nemofo Siba'a kini ne' Devitina ha'renteteno freno kumatamifi emani'ne. Hagi e'ina neke avrenamige'na atre'na va'neno. Hagi ana a'mo Joapuna kenona hunteno, Menintfa ana ne'mofo agenopa akafrita kuma keginamofo fegi'a mate vanunketa kegahaze.

22 The woman went and talked with everyone about her wise plan. So they cut off the head of Sheba and threw it to Joab. Then Joab blew the ram's horn to sound the retreat, and all his men left the town and went home. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.

Anante ana a'mo'a knare antahizama'a mika vahe ome zamasamige'za, ana vahe'mo'za Bekri nemofo Sibana ahe'za agenopa'a akafri'za Joapu ome mate vumi'naze. Ana higeno Joapua ufereno sondia vahe'a zamazeri atru huteno huzmantege'za nozmirega nevazageno, Joapu'a kini netega Jerusalemi vu'ne.

23 Joab commanded the whole army of Israel. Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites.

Hagi Joapu'a ete mika Israeli sondia vahe'mokizmia vugote kvazimi manigeno, Jehoiata nemofo Benaia'a, Kereti vahe'ene Peleti vahe'ma Devitinte'ma kva hunentaza hanavenentake sondia vahe'tamimofo kva ne' mani'ne.

24 Adoniram was in charge of the labor force. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.

Hagi Atoramu'a kazokzo eri'zama e'neri'za vahete kva mani'ne. Hagi Ahiruti nemofo Jehosafati'a kamani avontafe kegava hu'ne.

25 Sheva was the secretary. Zadok and Abiathar were the priests,

Hagi Siba'a avoma kreno eri fatgo hu eri'za kegava hu'ne. Hagi Abiatake Zadokukea pristi netre mani'na'e.

26 and Ira the Jairite was David's priest.

Hagi Jaira nagapinti ne Ira'a, Devitina agri'a pristi ne' mani'ne.
