< 2 Samuel 3 >

1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
Ita, adda napaut a gubat iti nagbaetan ti balay ni Saul ken iti balay ni David. Ket pimmigsa a pimmigsa ni David, ngem kimmapuy a kimmapuy ti balay ni Saul.
2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
Naipasngay dagiti putot ni David idiay Hebron. Ti inauna a putot ket ni Amnon, a putotna kenni Ahinoam manipud Jezreel.
3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
Ti maikaddua a putotna ket ni Keleab, nga impasngay ni Abigail, ti balo ni Nabal a taga Carmel. Ti maikatlo, ni Absalon, a putot ni Maaca a putot Tolmai nga ari ti Gesur.
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
Ti maikapat a putot ni David, ni Adonija nga anak ni Haggit. Ti maikalima a putotna ket ni Sefatias nga anak ni Abital,
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
ken ti maikanem, ni Itream nga anak ti asawa ni David a ni Egla. Dagitoy dagiti lallaki a putot ni David a naiyanak idiay Hebron.
6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.
Dimteng ti tiempo kabayatan ti gubat iti nagbaetan ti balay ni Saul ken iti balay ni David a pinapigsa ni Abner ti bagina iti balay ni Saul.
7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
Adda inkabbalay ni Saul a managan Rispa, a babai nga anak ni Aiah. Kinuna ni Isboset kenni Abner, “Apay a kinaiddam ti inkabbalay ni amak?”
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Ket makaunget unay ni Abner kadagiti sasao ni Isboset ket kinunana, “Maysaak kadi nga ulo ti aso ti Juda? Ita nga aldaw, ipakpakitak ti kinapudnok iti balay ni Saul, nga amam, kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken kadagiti gagayyemna, babaen iti saanko panangipaima kenka kenni David. Ngem pabasulennak pay laeng ita nga aldaw maipapan iti dayta a babai?
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
Aramiden koma ti Dios kaniak, Abner, ken nalablabes pay, no saanko nga aramiden para kenni David ti kas insapata ni Yahweh kenkuana,
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
nga iyakar ti pagarian manipud iti balay ni Saul ken panangisaad iti trono ni David iti entero nga Israel, ken iti entero a Juda, manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba.”
11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
Saan a makasungbat ni Isboset kenni Abner, gapu ta mabuteng isuna kenkuana.
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."
Ket nangibaon ni Abner kadagiti mensahero a mapan kenni David a makisarita para kenkuana a mangibaga, “Siasino ti makindaga iti daytoy? Makitulagka kaniak ket makitamto nga adda kenka ti imak, a mangiyeg kenka iti amin nga Israel.”
13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
Simmungbat ni David, “Nasayaat, makitulagak kenka. Ngem maysa a banag ti kiddawek kenka ket saanmo a makita ti rupak malaksid no iyegmo nga umuna ni Mikal, ti putot a babai ni Saul inton umaynak kitaen.”
14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
Ket nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero kenni Isboset, a putot ni Saul, a kunkunana, “Itedmo kaniak ti asawak a ni Mikal, ta binayadak iti gatad a sangagasut a kudil ti mabagbagi dagiti Filisteo.”
15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.
Isu a nangibaon ni Isboset iti mangala kenni Mikal manipud iti asawana, a ni Paltiel a putot ni Lais.
16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
Kimmuyog kenkuana ti asawana nga agsangsangit kabayatan ti ipapanna, ket simmurot kenkuana agingga idiay Bahurim. Ket kinuna ni Abner kenkuana, “Agawidkan.” Isu a nagsubli isuna.
17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.
Nakisarita ni Abner kadagiti panglakayen ti Israel a kunana, “Iti napalabas kinalikagumanyo nga agari koma ni David kadakayo.
18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"
Aramidenyo itan. Gapu ta imbaga ni Yahweh maipapan kenni David a kunana, 'Babaen iti ima ti adipenko a ni David isalakankonto dagiti tattaok nga Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Filisteo ken kadagiti amin a kabusorda.'”
19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
Nakisao pay a mismo ni Abner kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin. Kalpasanna, napan pay ni Abner a makisarita kenni David idiay Hebron tapno ipalawagna amin a banbanag a tinarigagayan dagiti Israelita ken ti sangkabalayan ti Benjamin nga aramiden.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
Idi simmangpet idiay Hebron da Abner ken dagiti duapulo kadagiti tattaona a mangkita kenni David, nangisagana ni David iti padaya para kadakuada.
21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.
Impalawag ni Abner kenni David, “Tumakderak ket ummongek amin nga Israel para kenka, apok nga ari, tapno makitulagda kenka tapno maiturayam dagiti amin a tarigagayam nga iturayan.” Pinapanaw ngarud ni David ni Abner, ket pimmanaw ni Abner nga addaan kapia.
22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.
Kalpasanna, simmangpet dagiti soldado ni David ken ni Joab manipud iti panangrautda ket adu ti insangpetda a sinamsamda. Ngem awanen ni Abner iti ayan ni David idiay Hebron. Pinapanawen ni David, ket nakapanawen ni Abner addaan kapia.
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."
Idi simmangpet da Joab ken amin nga armada a kaduana, imbagada kenni Joab, “Ni Abner a putot ni Ner ket napan iti ari, ket pinapanaw ti ari isuna, ket pimmanaw ni Abner nga addaan kapia.”
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
Ket napan ni Joab iti ayan ti Ari ket kinunana, “Ania ti inaramidmo? Kitaeman, immay ni Abner kenka! Apay a pinapanawmo isuna, ket awanen isuna?
25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
Saanmo kadi nga ammo nga immay ni Abner a putot ni Ner tapno allilawennaka ken tapno ammoenna dagiti panggepmo, ken adalenna ti tunggal aramidem?”
26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
Idi pinanawan ni Joab ni David, nangibaon ni Joab kadagiti mensahero a mangkamakam kenni Abner, ket insublida isuna manipud iti bubon ti Sira, ngem saan nga ammo ni David daytoy.
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Idi nakasubli ni Abner idiay Hebron, inayaban isuna ni Joab idiay igid ti ruangan tapno makisarita kenkuana iti sililimed, ket sadiay a dinuyok ni Joab ti tianna ket pinapatayna isuna. Iti daytoy a wagas, imbales ni Joab ti dara ni Asael a kabsatna.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
Idi nangngeg ni David ti maipapan iti daytoy ket kinunana, “Siak ken ti pagariak ket agnanayon nga inosente iti sangoanan ni Yahweh maipapan iti dara ni Abner nga anak ni Ner. “Agdissuor koma ti dibbut iti pannakatay ni Abner iti ulo ni Joab ken iti amin a balay ti amana.
29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
Adda koma a kanayon iti pamiliana ti agtutot wenno sakit ti kudil wenno lugpi ken agsarrukod a magna wenno matay iti kampilan wenno agkurang iti makan.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Isu a pinatay da Joab ken Abisai a kabsatna ni Abner, gapu ta napatayna ti kasbatda a ni Asael iti ranget idiay Gabaon.
31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
Kinuna ni David kenni Joab ken kadagiti amin a tattao a kakaduana, “Pisangenyo dagiti pagan-anayyo, agarwatkayo iti nakirsang a lupot, ket dung-awanyo ti bangkay ni Abner.” Ket nagna ni David iti likudan ti bangkay idi maipunpon daytoy.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Intanemda ni Abner idiay Hebron. Impigsa ti ari ti sangitna idiay tanem ni Abner, ket nagsangit met dagiti amin a tattao.
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
Nagleddaang ti ari ken nagdung-aw, “Rumbeng kadi a matay ni Abner a kas iti pannakatay ti maysa a maag?
34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.
Saan nagalotan dagiti imam. Saan a nakawaran dagiti sakam. Kas iti pannakapasag ti tao iti sangoanan dagiti annak ti awanan hustisia, isu a napasagka.” Nagsangit manen dagiti tattao gapu kenkuana.
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
Immay dagiti amin a tattao a mangallukoy kenni David a mangan kabayatan nga aldaw pay laeng, ngem nagsapata ni David, “Aramiden koma ti Dios kaniak, ken ad-ada pay koma, no rumamanak ti tinapay wenno anaiman sakbay a lumnek ti init.”
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
Nadlaw dagiti amin a tattao ti panagladingit ni David, ken naay-ayoda iti daytoy, aniaman nga inaramid ti ari ket naay-ayoda.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
Isu a naawatan amin dagiti tattao ken amin nga Israelita a saan a pagayatan ti ari a mapapatay iti dayta nga aldaw ni Abner nga anak ni Ner.
38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
Kinuna ti ari kadagiti adipenna “Saanyo kadi nga ammo a maysa a prinsipe ken natan-ok a tao ti napasag iti daytoy nga aldaw iti Israel?
39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
Ken nakapsutak ita nga aldaw, uray no napulotanak nga ari. Dagitoy a lallaki, a putot ni Zeruyas, ket naranggas unay kaniak. Pagbayaden koma ni Yahweh dagiti managdakdakes, babaen iti panangdusana kenkuana gapu iti kinadangkesna, a kas maikari kenkuana.”
