2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David tonight,
Tinovo’ i Ahitofele amy Absalome ty hoe: Angao ho joboñeko ty lahilahy rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo henaneo, le anito haleñe
2 and come on him, and he [will be] weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people who [are] with him have fled, and I have struck the king by himself,
ty hivotrahako ama’e, ie mokotse naho am-pitàñe maleme, hampangebakebak’ aze; le hitriban-day ondaty iaby mindre ama’eo vaho i mpanjakay avao ty ho lafaeko;
3 and I bring back all the people to you—as the turning back of the whole [except] the man whom you are seeking—[then] all the people are [at] peace.”
le hampoliko ama’o ondaty iabio; aa ie fonga nitampoly ondatio naho tsy i paia’oy avao, le hene hanintsiñe ondatio.
4 And the word is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all [the] elderly of Israel.
Nitea’ i Absalome naho ze hene mpiaolo’ Israele i saontsy zay.
5 And Absalom says, “Now call for Hushai the Archite also, and we hear what [is] in his mouth—even he.”
Le hoe t’i Absalome: Kanjio henaneo t’i Khosaý nte-Ereke le ho janjiñen-tika ka ty ho saontsie’e.
6 And Hushai comes to Absalom, and Absalom speaks to him, saying, “According to this word Ahithophel has spoken; do we do his word? If not, you—speak.”
Aa ie nipok’ amy Absalome eo t’i Khosaý, le hoe t’i Absalome ama’e: Nanao hoe zao ty Ahitofele; Horihen-tika hao i nisaontsie’ey? fa naho tsie le mitaroña.
7 And Hushai says to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has counseled [is] not good at this time.”
Le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Absalome: Tsy soa ty toro-hevetse natolo’ i Ahitofele henaneo.
8 And Hushai says, “You have known your father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and your father [is] a man of war, and does not lodge with the people;
Tinovo’ i Khosaý ty hoe: Fohi’o ty rae’o naho ondati’eo, t’ie fanalolahy, naho manahake ty dobe tinavañ’ anak’ an-kivok’ ao ty hafain’ afero añ’arofo’ iareo; toe mpañotakotake ty rae’o, vaho tsy hitoetse am’ ondati’eo.
9 behold, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it has been at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer has heard and said, There has been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Oniño t’ie mietak’ an-kadaha ndra an-toets’ ila’e henaneo; aa ie vaho miambotrak’ am’iereo am-baloha’e, le hanao ty hoe ze mahajanjiñe izay: Fizamanañe ty zoeñe am’ondaty mañorike i Absalomeo;
10 and he also, the son of valor, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, utterly melts, for all Israel knows that your father is a hero, and those with him [are] sons of valor.
le akore amy zao i fanalolahiy, i aman-tron-dionay, kanao hitranake; fa songa fohi’ Israele te ondaty maozatse ty rae’o naho sindre fanalolahy o mpiama’eo.
11 So that I have counseled: let all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and you yourself are going in the midst;
Aa le ty hoe ty fanoroako: te hifanontoñe ama’o t’Israele iaby boake Dane pake Beeresebà manahake ty faseñe añ’olon-driake ey ami’ty hatsifotofoto’e; le ihe ka ro ho mb’an-kotakotak’ ao.
12 and we have come to him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there has not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Aa le hivotrak’ ama’e tika amy ze toetse haharendrehañe aze; hipetak’ ama’e manahake ty fipetahan-jono an-tane; leo raike tsy hapon-tika ndra ie ndra o mpiama’eo.
13 And if he is gathered to a city, then they have caused all Israel to carry ropes to that city, and we have drawn it to the brook until there has not even been found a stone there.”
Tovo izay he ie mitolila mb’ an-drova ao, le hene hinday taly t’Israele vaho ho kozozoten-tika mb’ am-bavatane ao ampara’ te tsy hanjoàñe vato kede.
14 And Absalom says—and all the men of Israel, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and YHWH willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of YHWH’s bringing the calamity to Absalom.
Aa le hoe t’i Absalome naho o hene ondati’ Israeleo: Toe soa ty toro-heve’ i Khosaý nte-Ereke te amy tolo-keve’ i Akitofeley—amy te linili’ Iehovà ty handreketañe ty toro-hevetse soa’ i Akitofele, hametsaha’ Iehovà hankàñe amy Absalome.
15 And Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel has counseled Absalom and the elderly of Israel, and thus and thus I have counseled;
Aa le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe: Zao naho zao ty natoro’ i Akitofele amy Absalome naho amo roandria’ Israleo; vaho zao naho zao ka ty natoloko.
16 and now, send quickly, and declare [it] to David, saying, Do not lodge in the plains of the wilderness tonight, and also, certainly pass over, lest there is a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.”
Aa le mañitrifa masìka, vaho ano ty hoe amy Davide: Ko mitoetse amo montom-patrambeio te anito haleñe, fa mitsàha ndra manao akore; tsy mone habotseke i mpanjakay naho ze hene ondaty mindre ama’e.
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maidservant has gone and declared [it] to them—and they go and have declared [it] to King David—for they are not able to be seen to go into the city.
Ie amy zao, nitoboke e En-drogele t’Ionatane naho i Akimatse; naho nimpiheo am’ iereo ty mpitoroñe nitalily; le nimb’ amy Davide mpanjaka añe ka iereo nitalily, soa tsy ho oniñe mimoake amy rovay.
18 And a youth sees them, and declares [it] to Absalom; and both of them go on quickly, and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, and he has a well in his court, and they go down there,
Fe nitrea’ ty ajalahy le natalili’e amy Absalome; aa le nivoratsake iereo naho nivotrak’ añ’anjomba’ ondaty e Bakorime ze amam-bovoñe an-toe’e vaho nizotso ao.
19 and the woman takes and spreads the covering over the face of the well, and spreads the ground grain on it, and the thing has not been known.
Rinambe’ ty rakemba ty tako’e naho nakape’e am-bava’ i vovoñey, vaho naparatsa’e ambone’e eo ty tsako lisañe; le tsy nifohiñe.
20 And the servants of Absalom come to the woman at the house, and say, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman says to them, “They passed over the brook of water”; and they seek, and have not found, and return to Jerusalem.
Pok’ amy rakembay amy anjombay ty mpitoro’ i Absalome nanao ty hoe: Aia t’i Akimatse naho Ionatane? Le hoe i rakembay tam’ iereo: Fa nitsake i torahan-dranoy iereo. Aa le nitsoeke fe tsy nahaisake le nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
21 And it comes to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare [it] to King David, and say to David, “Rise, and pass over the waters quickly, for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”
Aa ie nienga, le niakatse i vovoñey iereo vaho nionjomb’eo nitalily amy Davide; le nanao ty hoe amy Davide: Miongaha, masikà, itsaho i ranoy; fa inao ty toro-heve’ i Akitofele ty ama’o.
22 And David rises, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, until the morning light, until not one has been lacking who has not passed over the Jordan.
Aa le niongake t’i Davide, rekets’ o hene’ ondaty nindre ama’eo, vaho nitsake Iordaney; aa ie niporea’ ty maraindray leo raike tsy nipoke tsy tafatsake Iordaney.
23 And Ahithophel has seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddles the donkey, and rises and goes to his house, to his city, and gives charge to his household, and strangles himself, and dies, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
Aa naho nioni’ i Akitofele te tsy noriheñe i toro-heve’ey, nidiaña’e i borìke’ey naho nimpoly mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’ an-drova’e añe, le nambine’e i anjomba’ey, vaho nameo vatañe; nihomake, naho nalentek’ an-kiborin-drae’e ao.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Ie pok’e Maknaime añe t’i Davide vaho nitsake Iordaney t’i Absalome, mindre amo fonga’ ondati’ Israeleo.
25 and Absalom has set Amasa over the host instead of Joab, and Amasa [is] a man’s son whose name is Ithra the Israeli who has gone in to Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Nampifehè’ i Absalome i valobohòkey t’i Amasà hasolo Ioabe. Ana’ t’i ana’ Israele atao Iterà nimoak’ amy Abigale ana’ i Nakase, rahavave’ i Tseroià, rene’ Ioabey t’i Amasà.
26 and Israel encamps with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Aa le nañoren-kibohotse an-tane Gilade ao t’Israele naho i Absalome.
27 And it comes to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Behold-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
Ie fa nivotrake e Maknaime t’i Davide le niheo mb’eo t’i Sobý ana’ i Nakase afo’ i Rabà, nte Amone naho i Makire, ana’ i Amiele nte-Lodebàre vaho i Barzilas nte-Gilade boake Rogelime
28 [have brought] bed, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [grain], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
ninday tihy naho sajoa naho valàñe tane naho vare-bolè naho vare hordea naho lilañe naho tsako-tono naho antake naho mahalay naho poataran’ ampemba
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows; they have brought [these] near for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, “Your people [are] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.”
naho tantele naho ronono dero naho añondry vaho habobon’ añombe amy Davide naho ondaty nindre ama’e iabio, hikama, ami’ty asa’ iareo ty hoe: Fa saliko naho mifoezapoezake vaho taliñiereñe ondaty am-patrambeio.
