< 2 Samuel 3 >

1 There was a long war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David. David's side grew stronger, while Saul's side grew weaker.
Isala: ili dunu mogili da Da: ibidi ea fi fuligala: su. Mogili da Solo egaga fi fuligala: su. Amaiba: le, gegesu da bagade heda: i. Da: ibidima fuligala: su fi ilia gasa da heda: lalu, be ea ha lai ilia gasa da gududafa sa: i.
2 David's sons born at Hebron were: Amnon (firstborn), by Ahinoam from Jezreel;
Da: ibidi egefelali gafeyale gala da Hibalone moilai bai bagade amo ganodini lalelelegei. Magobo mano da A: manone (ea: me da Yeseliele uda amo ea dio amo Ahinoua: me).
3 Chileab (second), by Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel; Absalom (third), by Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur:
Amo baligia da Gilia: be (ea: me da Gamele uda, Na: iba: le ea didalo, ea dio amo A: biga: ile). Amo baligia da A: basalome (ea: me da Gisie hina bagade Da: lama: i ea idiwi, amo Ma: iaga).
4 Adonijah (fourth), by Haggith; Shephatiah (fifth), by Abital;
Amo baligia da Adounaidia (ea: me da Ha: gide). Amo baligia da Siefada: ia (ea: me da Abaida: le).
5 Ithream (sixth), by David's wife Eglah. These were the sons born to David at Hebron.
Ufidafa da Idilia: me (ea: me da Egela). Amo dunu mano huluane da Hibalone moilai bai bagadegamusu lalelelegei galu.
6 Abner had been strengthening his position among the supporters of Saul's dynasty during the war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David.
Da: ibidima fuligala: su dunu amola Solo ea sosogo fi fuligala: su dunu ele gegenanu. A: bena da Solo ea sosogo fi fuligala: su fi amo ganodini gasawane heda: lebe ba: i.
7 Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, daughter of Aiah. One day Ishbosheth accused Abner, saying “Why have you been sleeping with my father's concubine?”
Eso afaega, Esiabousiede (Solo egefe) e da A: bena da Solo ea gidisedagi uda Lisiba (A: ia ea mano) amola gilisili golaiba: le, diwaneya udidi.
8 Abner got extremely angry at Ishbosheth accusation. “Am I a dog's head siding with Judah?” he replied. “Right up to the present day I have been loyal to your dynasty—to your father Saul, and to his brothers and friends. I haven't betrayed you to David. But now you dare to accuse me of sinning with this woman!
Amoga, A:bena da ougi bagade ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Di da dawa: loba na da Soloma baligi fa: ma: bela: ? Di da dawa: loba na da Yuda dunu ilia hawa: hamobe hamosala: ? Na da muni amogainini dia ada Solo amola yolalali amola ea sama huluane, ili fawane fuligala: su. Amola Da: ibidi da dili mae hasalima: ne, na da hamosu. Be wali di da ogogole na da udama doaga: i sia: sa.
9 So now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised him.
10 I will hand over the kingdom from Saul's dynasty, and help set up David's rule over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
Hina Gode da Da: ibidima, E da Isala: ili hina bagade hou Solo amola egaga fi amoga fadegale, Da: ibidi da Isala: ili amola Yuda soge huluanedafa ouligima: ne hina bagade hamomu ilegei. Wali, na da amo hou dafawanedafa ba: ma: ne hame hamosea, Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
11 Ishbosheth didn't dare to say anything else to Abner because he was frightened of him.
Esiabousiede da A: benaba: le bagadewane beda: i. E da bu adole imunu hamedei ba: i.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to speak for him to David, saying, “Who does the country belong to anyway? Make an agreement with me, and you can be sure I'll be on your side to have all of Israel follow you.”
Amogalu, Da: ibidi da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega esalu. A: bena da ema adola ahoasu dunu ema amane sia: na masa: ne asunasi, “Nowa da ninia soge ouligima: bela: ? Nama gousa: su hamoma. Amasea, Isala: ili dunu huluane di fuligala: ma: ne, na da di fidimu.”
13 “Fine,” David replied, “I'll make an agreement with you. But I have one condition: I won't see you unless you bring Saul's daughter Michal when you come.”
Da: ibidi da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia liligi afae fawane hamosea, na da ani gousa: su hamomu. Di da na ba: la masea, Solo idiwi Maiga: le, amo nama oule misa.”
14 Then David sent messengers tell Ishbosheth, son of Saul, “Give me back my wife Michal—I paid a dowry for her of one hundred Philistine foreskins.”
Amola Da: ibidi da sia: adola ahoasu dunu Esiabousiede ema amane sia: ma: ne sia: si, “Na uda Maiga: le nama bu ima. Na da Filisidini dunu 100 ilia ewa gadofo amo uda lama: ne dabe i galu.”
15 Ishbosheth sent for her and took her away from her husband Paltiel, son of Laish.
Amaiba: le, Esiabousiede da Maiga: le amo ea egoa Ba: ladiele (La: ise egefe) amo ea lai amo sugui.
16 Her husband followed her to the town of Bahurim, crying as he went. Then Abner ordered him, “Go back home!” So he went home.
Ba: ladiele da diginiwane Maiga: lema fa: no bobogele, Bahiulimi moilaiga doaga: i. Amalalu, A:bena da ema amane sia: i, “Di diasua buhagima!” Amanobamone, e da buhagi.
17 Abner spoke with the elders of Israel and said, “For a while now you have wanted to have David as your king.
A: bena da Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima asili, amane sia: i, “Dilia da eso bagohame amoga Da: ibidi dilia hina bagade hamoma: ne hananusu.
18 Now is the time to do it, because the Lord promised David, ‘Through my servant David I am going to save my people Israel from the Philistines and all their enemies.’”
Wali, amo hamoma! Hina Gode Ea sia: i bu dawa: ma! E amane sia: i, `Na da na hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidi amo ea loboga, Na fi Isala: ili dunu amo Filisidini dunu amola ilia ha lai dunu huluane ili mae hasalima: ne gaga: mu.’”
19 Abner also talked to the people of Benjamin, and went to Hebron to let David know everything that the Israelites and the whole tribe of Benjamin had decided to do.
Amola A: bena da amanewane Bediamini fi dunuma sia: i. Amalalu, e da Hibalone amoga asili, e da Bediamini amola Isala: ili dunu ilia hamomu sia: i, amo Da: ibidima olelei.
20 Abner came with twenty of his men to see David at Hebron, and David prepared a feast for them.
A: bena amola ea dunu 20 agoane da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega Da: ibidima misi. Da: ibidi ili aowama: ne lolo nasu hamoi.
21 Abner told David, “Let me go immediately and summon all of Israel to come together for my lord the king, so they may make an agreement with you, and that you may rule over all you would wish.” Then David sent Abner safely on his way.
A: bena da Da: ibidima amane adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da wali asili, Isala: ili dunu huluane di fuligala: ma: ne hamomu. Amasea, ilia huluane da di hina bagade hamoma: ne sia: mu. Amola dia hanai defele, di da Isala: ili soge huluanedafa ouligima: mu.” Da: ibidi da A: bena da se hamedafa nabima: ne, gaga: su sia: ilegei.
22 Soon after Joab and David's men came back from a raid, bringing with them a large amount of plunder. However, Abner wasn't there with David in Hebron because David had already sent him safely on his way in peace.
Amalu fa: no, Youa: be amola Da: ibidi ea ouligisu dunu eno da ha wa: i asili, liligi lai bagadedafa gagaguli buhagi. Be ilia da A: bena Hibalone amoga esalebe hame ba: i. Bai Da: ibidi da A: benama e da se hamedafa nabima: ne, gaga: su sia: ilegele, hi diasua masa: ne asunasi.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, he was told, “Abner, son of Ner, came to see the king, who sent him safely on his way.”
Youa: be amola ea dunu da doaga: le nabagaloba, A:bena da Da: ibidima misini amola Da: ibidi da e se mae nabima: ne ilegelalu hi diasua masa: ne asunasi, amo ilia nabi.
24 Joab went to the king and asked, “What do you think you're doing? Here's Abner, who came to see you. Why on earth did you send him on his way? Now he's got clean away!
Amaiba: le, Youa: be da hina bagade ema asili amane sia: i, “Di da adi hamobela: ? A: bena da dima misi. Dia abuliba: le e udigili masa: ne logo doasibala: ?
25 You do see that Abner, son of Ner, came here to trick you, to spy on the movements of your army, and to find out everything you're doing!”
E da dima ogogomusa: misi. Amola dia hamobe amola ahoabe huluane abedemusa: misi. Di da ea hou dawa: !”
26 When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner. They met up with him at the well of Sirah and brought him back, but David didn't know anything about it.
Youa: be da Da: ibidi yolesilalu, sia: adola ahoasu dunu, amo A: bena bu misa: ne sia: ma: ne asunasi. Ilia da A: bena amo Sila si hano esalebe ba: loba, e bu oule misi. Be Da: ibidi da amo hou hame dawa: i galu.
27 When Abner arrived back in Hebron, Joab took him aside into the town gatehouse as if he was going to talk with him in private. But Joab stabbed him in the belly, killing him in revenge for killing Joab's brother Asahel.
A: bena da Hibalone logo holeiga doaga: loba, Youa: be da logo bega: ema ogogole wamo sia: sia: musia: ne oule aliagale, e gobiheiga hagomo sone legei. Amola A: bena da medole legei dagoi ba: i. Bai e da Youa: be eya A: sahele fane legei.
28 When David heard about this later he said, “I and my kingdom are totally innocent before the Lord regarding the death of Abner, son of Ner!
Da: ibidi da amane hamoi sia: nababeba: le, e da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da dawa: ! Na amola na baligia aligi dunu huluane, ninia da A: bena e hamedafa fane legei.
29 May the guilt for his death fall on Joab and his family! May Joab's descendants always have someone who has running sores or leprosy or is crippled or who is killed by the sword or who is starving.”
Gode da Youa: be amola ea sosogo fi huluane ilima amo hou ea dabe se iasu ilima imunu da defea. Egaga fifi misunu amo ganodini, dunu afae da gadofo olo bagade o wadela: i uda lasu olo bagade o dunu da gasa hameba: le uda ea hawa: fawane hamomu dawa: o dunu da gegesu ganodini fane legei o dunu da ha: i bagade, agoaiwane dunu ba: mu da defea. Gode da Youa: be fi ilima amane se dabe imunu da defea.”
30 (This is why Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel during the battle at Gibeon.)
Youa: be amola eaeya Abisia: i da amanewane A: bena dabe i. Bai e da ela eya A: sahele amo Gibione gegesu ganodini fane legei.
31 Then David ordered Joab and everyone who was there, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” King David himself followed the body as it was carried to the grave.
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da Youa: be amola ea dunu ilia da abula gagadelale, amola abula wadela: i ebobolesi sasalili, A:benaha fofagini didigia: ma: ne sia: i. Bogoi uli dogomusa: gilisisu amoga, hina bagade Da: ibidi da bogoi doufa da: iya gisa ahoabe amoga fa: no bobogei.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king cried loudly at the grave, along with all the people.
Ilia da A: bena amo Hibalone moilai bai bagadega uli dogoi. Da: ibidi amola dunu huluane da uli dogoi bega: didigia: sa esafulu.
33 The king sang this lament for Abner: “Did Abner deserve to die like a criminal?
Da: ibidi da A: benaha asigili fofagi gesami amane hea: i, “A: bena da abuliba: le gagaoui dunuga bogosu defele bagobela: ?
34 Your hands were not tied together, your feet were not in shackles. But just like a murderer's victim, you too were killed.” All the people cried for him even more.
Ea lobo da hame la: gi ba: i. Ea emo da hame la: gi ba: i. E da dunu amo wadela: i hamosu dunuga medole legei, amo defele bogoi.” Amalalu, dunu huluane eha da bu didiga: i.
35 Then people came to David and tried to persuade him to have something to eat during the day. But David swore an oath, saying, “May God punish me severely if I eat bread or anything else before sunset!”
Amo esoha, dunu da gebewane Da: ibidi e ha: i moma: ne sia: i. Be e da dafawane amane ilegele sia: i, “Na da wali eso amoga ha: i nasea, Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
36 Everyone saw this and thought it was the right thing to do, in the same way that they thought everything the king did was the right thing to do.
Ilia da amo hou ba: lalu, hahawane ba: i. Dafawane! Ilia da hina bagade Da: ibidi ea hamobe huluane hahawane ba: i.
37 That day everyone in Judah and throughout Israel realized that David had not ordered Abner's murder.
Da: ibidi ea fi dunu huluane, amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da hina bagade da A: bena fane legei amo hamedafa fidi, amo noga: le dawa: i galu.
38 Then the king said to his officers, “Don't you recognize that a commander and a truly great man has fallen in Israel today?
Hina bagade da ea eagene ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia! Noga: le dawa: ma! Wali eso, Isala: ili soge ouligisu dunu bagade da bogoi dagoi.
39 I am weak right now, even though I'm anointed as king and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too powerful for me. But may the Lord repay the evil man according to the evil he has done.”
Gode da na hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Be wali eso na da gasa hamedene gogaya: i ba: sa. Selouaia egefelali da baligili bidi hamobeba: le, na higasa. Hina Gode da ilia wadela: i hamoi defele, se dabe ilima imunu da defea.”
