2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
Ary hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Aoka aho hifantina lehilahy roa arivo amby iray alina ka hiainga hanenjika an’ i Davida anio alina;
2 And I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged, and will thow him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. And I will strike the king alone.
ary ho tonga ao aminy aho amin’ ilay izy mbola sasatra sy reraka iny, ka dia hotairiko; dia handositra ny vahoaka rehetra izay any aminy, ary ny mpanjaka ihany no hasiako;
3 Then all the people will come back to you, as a bride returns to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be in peace."
dia haveriko ho etỳ aminao ny vahoaka rehetra miankina amin’ io lehilahy tadiavinareo io ny hiverenan’ ny vahoaka rehetra, ka dia hiadana ny olona rehetra.
4 And the advice seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
Ary sitrak’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany.
5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite, and let's hear what he says."
Kanefa hoy Absaloma: Mba antsoy kosa Hosay Arkita, ary aoka ho rentsika koa izay teniny.
6 When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Should we follow his advice? And if not, speak up."
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Absaloma Hosay dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Izao no hevitr’ i Ahitofela; ka hanao araka ny teniny va isika? Sa ahoana kosa no hevitrao?
7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."
Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsy mety ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela tamin’ ity.
8 Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are warriors, and that they are as fierce as a bear robbed of her cubs in the wild, or a sow snared in the wild. Your father is expert in war, and will not camp with the people.
Ary hoy kosa Hosay: Hianao mahalala ny rainao sy ny olony, fa olona mahery izy sady masiaka tahaka ny bera very anaka any an-tsaha; ary lehilahy mpiady rainao ka tsy miara-mitoetra amin’ ny vahoaka raha alina.
9 Look, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will happen when some of them have fallen first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'
Fa, indro, miery any an-davaka anankiray izy izao, na ao amin’ ny fitoerana hafa; ka raha misy resiny amin’ ny voalohany, izay mandre izany dia hanao hoe: Nahafatesana ny olona manaraka an’ i Absaloma,
10 Then even the one who is brave, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a warrior, and those who are with him are brave men.
ary na dia izay mahery ka manana fo tahaka ny fon’ ny liona aza dia ho ketraka tokoa; fa fantatry ny Isiraely rehetra fa lehilahy mahery rainao, sady lehilahy mahery koa ireny manaraka azy ireny.
11 But, I strongly advise as follows: Let all Israel be gathered to you from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in number, and that you personally go into battle.
Koa izao kosa no mba hevitro: Aoka hovorina ho eto aminao avokoa ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba, toy ny fasika amoron-dranomasina no hamarony; ka dia ny tenanao no hankany an-tafika.
12 So we will come upon him in some place where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.
Dia ho tonga ao aminy amin’ izay fitoerana anankiray hahitana azy isika, ka dia hilatsaka aminy toy ny filatsaky ny ando amin’ ny tany, ka tsy hasiantsika miangana na dia iray akory aza izy mbamin’ izay olona rehetra manaraka azy.
13 Moreover, if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will take up ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the riverbed, until there isn't one pebble to be found there."
Fa raha miditra an-tanàna izy, dia hitondran’ ny Isiraely rehetra mahazaka izany tanàna izany, ka dia hotarihintsika ho any amin’ ny ony izany ambara-paha-tsy hisy na dia vato kely iray aza hita ao.
14 Then Absalom and all Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had commanded that Ahithophel's counsel should be defeated, so that that the LORD could bring Absalom to ruin.
Ary hoy Absaloma sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely: Tsara noho ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela ny nataon’ i Hosay Arkita. Fa efa notendren’ i Jehovah ho foana ny sain-dalina nataon’ i Ahitofela, hampidiran’ i Jehovah loza amin’ i Absaloma.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "Here is the council Ahithophel gave Absalom and the elders of Israel, and here is what I counseled.
Dia hoy Hosay tamin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona: Izany ka izany no hevitra nomen’ i Ahitofela an’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely; ary izao ka izao kosa no hevitra nomeko azy.
16 Now therefore send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not stay the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over. Otherwise the king and all the people who are with him will be swallowed up.'"
Koa maniraha haingana izao, ary ambarao amin’ i Davida hoe: Aza mitoetra any amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra anio alina, fa mità faingana tokoa, fandrao ho levona na ny mpanjaka na ny olona rehetra any aminy.
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, and a female servant was to go and tell them, and they would go and inform king David. For they were not to be seen going into the city.
Ary Jonatana sy Ahimaza nitoetra tao En-rogela; fa tsy sahy niseho tao an-tanàna izy; ary nisy ankizivavy anankiray nivoivoy nanambara taminy; dia lasa nandeha nanambara tany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka kosa izy roa lahy.
18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So they both departed quickly and reached the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.
Fa nisy zazalahy iray nahita azy ka nanambara tamin’ i Absaloma; nefa lasa faingana izy roa lahy ka tonga tao an-tranon’ olona tao Bahorima, izay nisy lavaka fantsakana tao an-tokotaniny, dia nidina tao izy roa lahy.
19 And the woman took a covering and spread it over the top of the well and scattered some grain on it, so that nothing could be noticed.
Ary nalain’ ny vadin-dralehilahy ny rakotra ka narakony teo am-bavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana, ary dia nanahy koba teo amboniny izy, ka tsy nisy nahalala.
20 Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, and they asked, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Ary nony tonga tao amin-dravehivavy tao an-trano ny mpanompon’ i Absaloma, dia nanao hoe: Aiza Ahimaza sy Jonatana teto? Fa hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tafita ny renirano kely izy izay. Ary nony efa nitady azy ireo ka tsy nahita, dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
21 It came about after they had left that they climbed out of the well, and left and told king David. And they said to him, "Get up and cross quickly over the water, for Ahithophel has given such and such counsel against you."
Ary nony efa lasa ireo, dia niakatra avy ao amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy roa lahy, ka lasa nandeha izy, dia nanambara tamin’ i Davida mpanjaka hoe: Miaingà, ka mità faingana ny rano; fa izany no hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela hamelezana anareo.
22 Then David and all the people who were with him got up and they crossed the Jordan. By dawn there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.
Dia niainga Davida sy ny olona nanaraka, azy, ka nita an’ i Jordana izy; ary nony maraina ny andro, dia tsy tafita an’ i Jordana na dia olona iray aza.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went up to his home in his city. Then he set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.
Ary nony hitan’ i Ahitofela fa narahina ny hevitra nataony, dia nasiany lasely ny borikiny, dia niainga izy dia nody tany an-tranony tany an-tanànany; ary nanafatra ny ankohonany izy, dia nanaton-tena, ka dia maty ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fasan-drainy.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all Israel with him.
Ary Davida tonga tao Mahanaima. Ary Absaloma nita an’ i Jordana, dia izy sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely izay nanaraka azy.
25 And Absalom had put Amasa over the army in place of of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jether the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Jesse, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Ary Amasa no notendren’ i Absaloma ho komandin’ ny miaramilany ho solon’ i Joaba; ary Amasa dia zanak’ ilay Isiraelita atao hoe Jitra, ilay nandry tamin’ i Abigaila, zanakavavin’ i Nahasy sady rahavavin’ i Zeroia, renin’ i Joaba.
26 So Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Absaloma nitoby tany amin’ ny tany Gileada.
27 Now it happened when David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Makir the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Ary nony tonga tao Mahanaima Davida, dia, indreo, tamy Soby, zanak’ i Amona, sy Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, avy any Lo-debara, ary Barzilay Gileadita, avy any Rogelima,
28 brought couches for sleeping, and covers, and basins, and pottery utensils, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils,
Avy mitondra fandriana sy bakoly sy vilany tany sy vary hordea sy koba sy lango sy tsaramaso sy voanemba ary voanemba voaendy
29 and honey, and curd of the flock, and cheese of the herd. And they presented them to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and tired and thirsty in the wilderness."
sy tantely sy rononomandry sy ondry ary zanak’ omby ho an’ i Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy; fa hoy izy: Noana sy sasatra ary mangetaheta atỳ an-efitra ny vahoaka.
