2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Ie añe izay, le nañontane Iehovà t’i Davide ami’ty hoe: Hionjonako hao o rova’ Israeleo? le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Mionjona. Aa le hoe t’i Davide: Ty aia ty handenàko? le hoe re: Mbe Kebrone mb’eo.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, Nabal's wife, the Carmelite.
Aa le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ i vali’e roe rey, i Akinoame nte Iezreele naho i Abigale vali’i Nabale nte-Karmele.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Le nampionjone’ i Davide ondaty mpiama’eo songa rekets’ o keleia’eo vaho nimoneña’ iareo o rova’ i Kebroneo.
4 And then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those that buried Saul.
Nimb’eo amy zao o roandria’ Iehodao, le noriza’ iareo eo t’i Davide ho mpanjaka’ i anjomba’ Iehoday. Le natalily amy Davide te o nte-Iabese-Giladeo ty nandenteke i Saole.
5 And David thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, unto Saul, and have buried him.
Nañitrik’ amy Iabese-Gilade t’i Davide, le nanoe’e ty hoe, Andriañeñe t’Iehovà ami’ty fitretreza’ areo i talè’ areoy, amy nandenteha’ areo i Saoley.
6 And now may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, because ye have done this thing.
Aa le ho ferenaiña’ Iehovà naho haboa’e ama’ areo ty hatò; vaho handroroñako ama’ areo i hasoa nanoe’ areoy.
7 And now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as king over them.
Aa le ampaozaro o fità’ areoo, le mahasibeha; fa vilasy t’i Saole talè’ areo vaho fa noriza’ Iehoda iraho ho mpanjaka’ iareo.
8 But Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
Ie amy zao, rinambe’ i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ i Saole, t’Is’bosete ana’i Saole vaho nendese’e nitsake mb’e Maknaime mb’eo;
9 And made him king over Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
le nanoe’e mpanjaka’ i Gilade naho o nte-Asoreo naho Iezreele naho Efraime naho i Beniamine naho Israele iaby.
10 Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. But the house of Judah followed David.
Ni-efa-polo taoñe t’Is’bosete t’ie niorotse nifehe Israele, le nifeleke roe taoñe. Fe nañorike i Davide ty anjomba’ Iehoda.
11 And the number of days that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Le fito-tao-tsi-enem-bolañe ty naha-mpanjaka’ i anjomba’ Iehoday e Kebrone ao i Davide.
12 And there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
Niavotse boake Maknaime t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere rekets’ o mpitoro’ Is’ Bosete ana’i Saoleo le nomb’e Gibone mb’eo.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others on the other side of the pool.
Niavotse t’Ioabe, ana’i Tseroià naho o mpitoro’ i Davideo nifanalaka am’ iereo amy antara’ i Giboney; ie nifampigaoñe le añ’ila’ i antara etoañey ty firimboña’e raike vaho alafe’ i antara eroañey ty firimboña’e raike.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
Le hoe t’i Abnere am’ Ioabe, Angao hiongake o gaon-dahio hihisa añatrefan-tikañe. Le hoe t’Ioabe: Angao hiongake.
15 Then they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Niongak’ amy zao t’i nte-Beniamine, folo-ro’amby ty mpiam’ Is’bosete, ana’ i Saole, naho folo-ro’amby ty mpitoro’ i Davide.
16 And they grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
Sindre nitan-ty lohan-drahalahi’e naho natsorofo’e an-deme’ i rahalahi’ey ty fibara’e vaho songa nitsingoritritse eo; aa le natao ty hoe Kelkate-kats’ tsorime i toetse e Gibone izay.
17 And the battle was exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, before the servants of David.
Nampalovilovy ty hotakotak’ amy andro zay; le nigioke t’i Abnere naho o ana’ Israeleo añatrefam-pitoro’ i Davide.
18 And there were at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any roe in the field.
Teo ty ana-dahy telo’ i Tseroià; Ioabe, naho i Abisày, vaho i Asaele, le nalisa am-pandia t’i Asaele manahake ty fanaloke tora’e.
19 And 'Asahel pursued after Abner; and he turned not in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
Nañinjake i Abnere t’i Asaele; tsy niviombioñe mb’an-taña’e havana ndra havia amy fañitrihitriañ’ orike i Abnerey.
20 And Abner turned round and said, Art thou 'Asahel? And he answered, I am.
Nitoli-boho amy zao t’i Abnere nanao ty hoe: I Asaele v’iheo? hoe ty natoi’e: Izaho.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. But 'Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Le hoe t’i Abnere tama’e: Mitsilea, mb’an-taña’o havana ndra havia, naho tsepaho ty gaon-dahy vaho holiro o fikala’eo, f’ie tsy nete tsy nañorik’ aze avao.
22 And Abner repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift up my face to Joab thy brother?
Nindrae’ i Abnere amy Asaele ty hoe: Mivioña tsy hañorik’ ahy; ino ty hanjevoñako azo an-tane? Aia amy zao ty hiatrefako laharañe am’ Ioabe rahalahi’oy?
23 But he refused to turn aside; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing still.
F’ie nifoneñe tsy hivioñe, aa le tinombo’ i Abnera amy kitron-defo’ey ambane’ ty pa’e faha lime eo le nipotìtse am-boho’e ao i lefoñey vaho nitsingorokoron-ko mate eo. Ie amy zao, ze nizo i nikorovoha’ i Asaele nivetrakey, le nijohañe eo.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
Fe nañoridañe i Abnere t’Ioabe naho i Abisày; le nitsofots’ andro t’ie pok’ an-kaboa’ i Amà, i aolo’ i Già an-dala’ mb’ am-patrambei’ i Giboney.
25 And the children of Benjamin assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain hill.
Nifanontoñe amy Abnere amy zao o ana’ i Beniamineo vaho nijohañe an-kaboañe ey.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing their brethren?
Kinoi’ i Abnere amy zao t’Ioabe ami’ty hoe: Hamotseke nainai’e hao i fibaray? Tsy fohi’o hao t’ie higadoñe an-kafairañe avao? Ampara’ te mb’ia vaho halalie’o ondatio ty tsy hañoridañe i rahalahi’ey?
27 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing his brother.
Le hoe t’Ioabe: Kanao veloñe t’i Andrianañahare, naho tsy nisaontsy irehe, le ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray leo raike tsy ho nimpoly am-pañinjaha’e i rahalahi’ey.
28 So Joab blew the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
Aa le nampipopò antsiva t’Ioabe vaho nitsangañe ondaty iabio, tsy nañoridañe Israele ka, tsy nifanehak’ añ’aly ka.
29 And Abner and his men walked through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
Nikatsakatsake niranga i Arabà amy haleñe iabiy t’i Abnere naho ondati’eo; nitsake Iordaney naho niranga i Bitrone vaho nigodañe e Maknaime.
30 And Joab returned from pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed of David's servants nineteen men and 'Asahel.
Nimpoly amy fañoridaña’e i Abnerey t’Ioabe; le ie natonto’ iareo i mpitoro’ i Davide rey le tsy niampe folo-sive’ amby naho i Asaele.
31 But the servants of David had smitten [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty men died.
Fe zinevo’ o mpitoro’ i Davideo amo lahilahi’ i Beniamine naho a i Abnereo: t’indaty telon-jato-tsi-enem-polo, fonga nikorokomake.
32 And they took up 'Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Nitakone’ iereo t’i Asaele vaho nalente’e an-donan-drae’e e Betlekheme ao. Nikatsakatsak’ amy haleñey ka t’Ioabe, am-para’ te niporea am’ iereo e Kebrone añe i àndroy.
