< 2 Samuel 20 >

1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
Aa teo t’indaty nte-Beliale, i Sebà ty añara’e, ana’ i Bikrý nte-Ieminý, ie nampipopo tsifan’ añondry nitsey ty hoe: Tsy aman’ anjara amy Davide tika, vaho tsy aman-dova amy ana’ Iesey. Vonjeo ty kiboho’o ry Israeleo.
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Aa le nisitak’ amy Davide o ana’ Israele iabio vaho nañorike i Sebà, ana’ i Bikrý; fe nipitek’ amy mpanjaka’ey t’Iehoda boak’ am’ Iordaney pake Ierosalaime.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
Ie nitotsak’ añ’ an­jomba’e Ierosalaime ao t’i Davide le rinambe’ i mpanjakay i rakemba folo nisakeza’e rey, i nenga’e ao hañambeñe i anjombay rey naho nagoro­goda’e an-traño niga­ri­tañe naho nifahana’e, f’ie tsy nimoak’ am’ iereo ka. Le songa nigabeñe ao ampara’ te nivetrake, ie niveloñe ho vantotse avao.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Hoe i mpanjakay amy Amasà: Koiho o lahilahy nte-Iehodao hifanontoñe atoy añate’ ty telo andro, le miatrefa ka.
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Amasà hikanjy o nte-Iehodao hivory; f’ie nitambatse añe mandikoatse i andro nafè’e azey.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abisay: Ie amy zao, handikoara’ i Seba ana’ i Bikrý ty joy nanoe’ i Absalome; rambeso arè o mpitoro’ i talè’oio, vaho horidaño, tsy mone ho rambese’e o rova aman-kijolio, vaho hipoliotse tsy ho onin-tika.
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Aa le niavotse hañoridañe aze ondati’ Ioabeo, naho o nte-Kereteo naho o nte-Peleteo, vaho o fanalolahy iabio; niakatse Iero­salaime hañoridañe i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
Ie nivo­tra­k’ an-damilamy jabajaba’ i Gibone eo, le nimb’eo t’i Amasà nifanalaka am’ iereo. Nisikiñe o sarom-pialiañe fiombea’eo t’Ioabe, ama’e ty fiètse reketse fibara an-kotra’e nidiañe an-toha’e ao; aa ie nionjomb’eo le napontsoa’e.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Le hoe t’Ioabe amy Amasà: Akore v’iheo rahalahiko? Le rinambe’ Ioabe am-pità’e havana ty volon-tsomo’ i Amasà hañorofa’e aze.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
Fe tsy nioni’ i Amasà ty fibara am-pità’ Ioabe; aa le trinofa’e ambane’ ty pa’e fahalime ao, naho nivorotrak’ an-tane o aova’eo vaho tsy nipaok’ aze fañindroe’e; fa nihomake. Nañinjake i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý t’Ioabe naho i Abisay rahalahi’e.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Nijohañe eo ty ajalahi’ Ioabe nanao ty hoe; Ze miantoke Ioabe naho mpiamy Davide, ee te horihe’e t’Ioabe.
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
Nilomoloañe an-dio’e añivo’ i lalañey t’i Amasà. Aa ie niisa’e te nijohañe ama’e avao ze hene ondaty le nijinie’e t’i Amasà naho nente’e alafe’ i lalañey mb’ an-teteke mb’eo vaho nañifike saroñe ama’e, amy te nioni’e te fonga nijohañe eo avao ze nañarine aze.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Aa ie navike tsy ho an-dalañey le norihe’ ondaty iabio t’Ioabe, hañoridañe i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Niranga ze hene fifokoa’ Israele re pak’ Abele, naho e Betemaakà, naho amo nte-Berìo; aa le nifanon­toñe iereo, nanonjohy aze.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Nionjomb’ eo iereo haname aze e Abele’ i Betemaakà ao, nampitoboarañe tamboho i rovay, le tiname’ ondaty iabio i kijoliy; finofo’ ze hene’ ondati’ Ioabe i kijoliy handro­tsak’ aze.
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
Nikaik’ amy zao ty rakemba mahihitse boak’ amy rovay, ty hoe: Eo hey nahareo, mijanjiña, taroño am’ Ioabe ty hañarine mb’etoa, hivolañako.
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
Aa ie niharinea’e le hoe i rakembay: Ioabe v’iheo? Le namale re: Izaho ‘nio. Le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño ty enta’ o anak’ ampata’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e, Mitsanon-draho.
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Aa le hoe re, Sinaontsi’ o taoloo ty ti-hoe: Ie aman’ ontane, añontaneo e Abele ao: izay ty fampigadoña’ iareo.
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?"
Mpiamo mpampilongo migahiñe e Israeleo atoan-draho; aa mipay handrotsake rova naho ty rene raike e Israele ao v’iheo, Ino ty hampigodraña’o ty lova’ Iehovà?
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Natoi’ Ioabe ty hoe: Mitotse amako izay; lavitse ahy t’ie hagodrako ndra harotsako.
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
Tsy izay o rahao; fe nañonjo haoke hiatreatre i Davide mpanjaka t’indaty boak’ am-bohibohitse ao, i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý ty tahina’e. Aa le ie avao ty aseseo. Le hoe i rakembay am’ Ioabe: Ingo, hahiririñe ama’o hiranga o kijolio ty añambone’e.
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Aa le nimb’ am’ ondaty iabio i rakembay amy fahiti’ey. Le kinitsi’ iareo ty añambone’ i Sebà ana’i Bikrý vaho natorake mb’ am’ Ioabe ao. Pinopò’e amy zao i antsi­vay, le niparaitake boak’ amy rovay ondatio, songa mb’an-kiboho’e añe. Nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo t’Ioabe.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Ie amy zao: mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ Israele t’Ioabe vaho nifeleke o nte-Kereteo naho o nte-Peleteo t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà;
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
i Adorame ty mpifelek’ i habay vaho mpamolily t’Iehosafate, ana’ i Aklode;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
mpanokitse t’i Seva, le mpisoroñe t’i Tsa­doke naho i Abiatare;
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
mpifehe amy Davide ka t’Irà nte-Iaire.
