2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul is going on and [is] weak.
Nitolom-pialy avao ty anjomba’ i Saole naho ty anjomba’ i Davide; le nihafatratse erike t’i Davide vaho ninìke erike ty anjomba’ i Saole.
2 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
Nisamak’ anadahy e Kebrone ao t’i Davide; i Amnone ty tañoloñoloña’e boak’ amy Akinoame nte-Iezreele;
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
i Kilabe, ty faharoe, nasama’ i Abigale vali’ i Nabale nte-Karmele; ty fahatelo: i Abisalome, ana’ i Maakà ana’ i Talmay mpanjaka’ i Gesore;
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
ty fah’efatse i Adonià, ana’ i Kagite; ty faha-lime, i Sefatià ana’ i Abitale;
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
vaho ty faha-eneñe, Itreame, amy Eglà vali’ i Davide. Songa nasama’ i Davide e Kebrone ao.
6 And it comes to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner has been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
Ie nitolom-pialy avao ty anjomba’ i Saole naho ty anjomba’ i Davide, le nampaozam-batañe añ’ anjomba’ i Saole t’i Abnere.
7 and Saul has a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] says to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
Nisakeza’ i Saole t’i Ritspà anak’ ampela’ i Aià. Le hoe t’Isbosete amy Abnere, Ino ty nimoaha’o amy sakezan-draekoy?
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Abner, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he says, “[Am] I the head of a dog—that in reference to Judah, today I do kindness with the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David—that you charge against me iniquity concerning the woman today?
Nampiforoforo i Abnere i enta’ Isbosete zay, le hoe re: Lohan’ amboa’ Iehoda hao iraho? Niferenaiñako anindroany hao ty anjomba’ i Saole, rae’o, naho o longo’eo naho o rañe’eo, te ihe tsy naseseko am-pità’ i Davide; t’ie nasisì’o ho aman-kakeo amy rakembay androany?
9 Thus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:
Ee te hanoen’ Añahare amy Abnere naho mandikoatse, naho tsy hanoeko ty nifanta’ Iehovà amy Davide;
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.”
ty hampamindrañe boak’ añ’anjomba’ i Saole i fifeheañey naho hampitroareñe ambone’ Israele naho Iehoda boake Dane pake Beersevà ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.
Tsy nahavale i Abnere ndra volan-draike re amy fihembaña’ey.
12 And Abner sends messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand [is] with you, to bring around all Israel to you.”
Nañitrik’ amy Davide amy zao t’i Abnere nanao ty hoe: An’ ia o taneo? naho ty hoe: Mifañinà amako fa inao, ama’o ty tañako hanese Israele iaby.
13 And [David] says, “Good—I make a covenant with you; only, one thing I am asking of you, that is, you do not see my face, except [that] you first bring in Michal daughter of Saul in your coming in to see my face.”
Le hoe re, Antao arè, hifañina; fe hafantoko ama’o, te tsy ho isa’o ty tareheko naho tsy endese’o heike t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole, t’ie miheo mb’ amako mb’etoa hañisake ty tareheko.
14 And David sends messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Le nañitrik’ am’ Is’bosete ana’ i Saole t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Aseseo amako i Mikale tañanjombako nifofoeñ’ añ’ ofon-te-Pilisty zatoy.
15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
Aa le nampihitrife’ Isbosete vaho rinambe’e amy Paltiele ana’ i Laise, vali’ey.
16 and her husband goes with her, going on and weeping behind her, to Bahurim, and Abner says to him, “Go, return”; and he turns back.
Nangololoike ty rovetse i vali’ey, ie nañorik’ aze mb’e Bakorime mb’eo. Le hoe t’i Abnere ama’e: Akia, iamboho; le nimpoly re.
17 And the word of Abner was with [the] elderly of Israel, saying, “Thus far you have been seeking David for king over you,
Ie amy zao fa nifañaoñe amo talè’ Israeleo t’i Abnere, nanao ty hoe: Ie taolo ro nipay i Davide ho mpanjaka hifehe anahareo,
18 and now, do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David saying, [It is] by the hand of my servant David to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.”
Aa le ano henaneo; amy te nafè’ Iehovà amy Davide ty hoe: Ty fitàm-pitoroko Davide ty handrombahako ondatiko Israeleo am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio, naho am-pità’ o rafelahi’ iareo iabio.
19 And Abner also speaks in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner also goes to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
Tinaro’ i Abnere an-dravembia i Beniamine ka izay, le nañavelo t’i Abnere nisaontsy an-dravembia’ i Davide e Kebrone ao t’ie ninò’ Israele iaby naho ty anjomba’ i Beniamine iaby;
20 and Abner comes to David, to Hebron, and twenty men [are] with him, and David makes a banquet for Abner and for the men who [are] with him.
le nimb’ amy Davide e Kebrone añe t’i Abnere rekets’ ondaty roapolo vaho nanoa’ i Davide sabadidake t’i Abnere naho ondaty nindre ama’eo.
21 And Abner says to David, “I arise, and go, and gather the whole of Israel to my lord the king, and they make a covenant with you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires”; and David sends Abner away, and he goes in peace.
Le hoe t’i Abnere amy Davide: Hiongake iraho hiavotse le hatontoko amy talèko mpanjakay t’Israele iaby, hifañina ama’o, hifeleha’o ze satrin’arofo’o iaby. Aa le nirahe’ i Davide mb’eo t’i Abnere hañavelo am-panintsiñañe.
22 And behold, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and have brought much spoil with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he has sent him away, and he goes in peace;
Ingo te boak’ an-kotakotak’ añe amy zao o mpitoro’ i Davideo naho Ioabe, ninday fikopaham-bey; fe tsy amy Davide e Kebrone ao t’i Abnere, ie niraheñe añe naho niavotse an-kanintsiñe.
23 and Joab and all the host that [were] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner has come to the king, and he sends him away, and he goes in peace.”
Aa ie pok’eo t’Ioabe naho i valobohòke nindre ama’e iabiy, le natalily am’ Ioabe ty hoe: Fa niheo amy mpanjakay t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere vaho nampiavote’e mb’eo le nienga am-panintsiñañe.
24 And Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you! Why [is] this—you have sent him away, and he is really gone?
Aa le nomb’ amy mpanjakay t’Ioabe nanao ty hoe: Ino ze o nanoe’oo? Inao niheo mb’ama’o mb’etoa t’i Abnere; akore te nirahe’o mb’eo, ie vata’e añe?
25 You have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
Fohi’o t’i Abnere ana’i Nere, te nimb’ etoa hamañahy azo, hahafohiñe ty fiengà’o naho ty fiziliha’o, haharendreha’e ze anoe’o iaby.
26 And Joab goes out from David, and sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David did not know.
Ie niavotse amy Davide t’Ioabe le nampihitrike ìrak’ amy Abnere nampibalike aze boake Bor’sirà; fe tsy nifohi’ i Davide.
27 And Abner turns back to Hebron, and Joab turns him aside to the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the fifth [rib]—and he dies—for the blood of his brother Asahel.
Aa ie nimpoly mb’e Kebrone mb’eo t’i Abnere, le natola’ Ioabe hisitak’ i lalam-beiy hibisibisiha’e vaho tinombo’e ambane-pa’e fahalime, le nihomake ty amy lion-drahalahi’e Asaeley.
28 And David hears afterward and says, “My kingdom and I [are] acquitted by YHWH for all time, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
Ie jinanji’ i Davide le hoe re, Malio tahiñe am’ Iehovà, amy lio’ i Abnere ana’ i Nerey iraho naho ty fifeheako.
29 it stays on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one who has discharging, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.”
Ee te hipetak’ añambone’ Ioabe naho añ’ anjomban-drae’e le tsy hasitak’ ami’ty anjomba’ Ioabe ty aman-dio-lava, ke ty angamae, he ty miato am-pitoñoñe, ke ty ampitsingorom-pibara, he ty tsy aman-kàneñe.
30 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.
Vinono’ Ioabe naho i rahalahi’e Abisaiy t’i Abnere ty amy namonoa’e i rahalahi’ iareo Asaele an-kotakotake e Gibone añe.
31 And David says to Joab, and to all the people who [are] with him, “Tear your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner”; and King David is going after the bier.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ioabe naho amo hene ondaty nindre ama’eo, Mandriata saroñe naho misikina gony vaho miroveta añatrefa’ i Abnere. Le nañorike i horantsañey t’i Davide.
32 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifts up his voice, and weeps at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
Nalente’ iereo e Kebrone ao t’i Abnere; le naonjo’ i mpanjakay ty fiarañanaña’e nangololoike ty rovetse an-kibori’ i Abnere eo vaho fonga nangoihoy ondatio.
33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?
Aa le nandala i Abnere i mpanjakay, ami’ty hoe: Nihomake manahake ty fikenkañan-dagola t’i Abnere?
34 Your hands not bound, And your feet not brought near to chains! You have fallen as one falling before sons of evil!” And all the people add to weep over him.
Tsy nisingoreñe o fità’oo, tsy ni-an-dongoke o fandia’oo; nikorovoke hoe ondaty zinevo añatrefa’ o lo-tserekeo. Le niroveta’ ondatio indraike.
35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David swears, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, for—before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.”
Nimb’ amy Davide amy zao ondatio nanjotso mofo, ie mbe niantoandro, fe nifanta ami’ty hoe t’i Davide; Hanoen’ Añahare amako ndra losore’e naho mitsopeke mofo ndra inoñe am-para’ te tsofotse i àndroy.
36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king has done is good in the eyes of all the people;
Nihaoñe’ ondatio izay le ninò’e; niantofa’ ondaty iabio ze nanoe’ i mpanjakay.
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it has not been from the king—to put Abner son of Ner to death.
Aa le nifohi’ ze hene ondaty naho Israele iaby amy andro zay te tsy nampivetraha’ i mpanjakay t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere.
38 And the king says to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?
Le hoe i mpanjakay amo mpitoro’eo: Tsy fohi’ areo hao te nihotrake e Israele ao anindroany ty roandria fanalolahy?
39 And today I [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; YHWH repays to the doer of the evil according to his evil.”
Mamake iraho androany, ie vaho norizañe ho mpanjaka; toe loho gañe amako i ana’ i Tseroià rey; ehe ho vale’ Iehovà amy raty tserekey o hatsivokara’eo.
