2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass, after this, that David enquired of Yahweh, saying—Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Yahweh said unto him, Go up. And David said—Whither shall I go up? And he said—Unto Hebron.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Davida dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Hiakatra ho any amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda anankiray va aho? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara. Ary hoy Davida: Any aninona no hiakarako? Dia hoy Izy: Any Hebrona.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Dia niakatra nankany Davida mbamin’ ny vadiny roa, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita.
3 His men also who were with him, did David bring up, every man with his household, —and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Ary ny olona izay tao amin’ i Davida mbamin’ ny ankohonan’ ireo dia samy nentiny niakatra koa, ka nonina tao amin’ ny tanàna momba an’ i Hebrona izy ireo.
4 Then came the men of Judah, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, Men of Jabesh-gilead, were they who buried Saul.
Ary dia avy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda ka nanosotra an’ i Davida tao mba ho mpanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda. Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Ny olona any Jabesi-gileada no nandevina an’ i Saoly.
5 So David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, —and said unto them—Blessed, be ye of Yahweh, that ye did this lovingkindness unto your lord, unto Saul, and buried him.
Ary Davida dia naniraka olona hankany amin’ ny mponina any Jabesi-gileada hanao aminy hoe: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo noho ny soa nataonareo tamin’ i Saoly tomponareo tamin’ ny nandevenanareo azy.
6 Now, therefore, Yahweh requite you with lovingkindness and truth, —moreover also, I, will requite you, for this noble deed, in that ye did this thing.
Koa haneho famindram-po sy fahamarinana aminareo anie Jehovah, sady izaho koa efa manao izao soa izao aminareo noho ny nanaovanareo izany zavatra izany.
7 Now, therefore, let your hands be made firm, and become ye sons of valour, for your lord Saul is dead, —and, me, moreover have the house of Judah anointed, to be king over them.
Ary ankehitriny, aoka hampaherezina anie ny tananareo, ary aoka hatanjaka ianareo; fa maty Saoly tomponareo, ary izaho no nohosoran’ ny firenen’ i Joda ho mpanjakany.
8 But, Abner son of Ner, prince of the host that pertained unto Saul, took Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Fa Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Saoly, efa naka an’ Isboseta, zanakalahin’ i Saoly, ka nitondra azy nankany Mahanaima,
9 and made him king for Gilead, and for the Ashurites, and for Jezreel, —and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over, all Israel.
dia nampanjaka azy tamin’ i Gileada sy ny Asorita sy Jezirela sy ny Efraima sy ny Benjamina ary ny Isiraely rehetra.
10 Forty years old, was Ish-bosheth son of Saul, when he began to reign over Israel, and, two years, reigned he, —but, the house of Judah, followed David.
(Ary efa-polo taona no nahaveloman’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, fony izy vao nanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely, ary roa taona no nanjakany.) Fa ny firenen’ i Joda nomba an’ i Davida.
11 And it came to pass, that, the number of the days that David was king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Davida tao Hebrona tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia fito taona sy enim-bolana.
12 And Abner son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, came out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Ary Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, sy ny mpanompon’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, niala tao Mahanaima ka nankany Gibeona.
13 And, Joab son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out from Hebron and met, by the pool of Gibeon, together, —and they sat down, these, by the pool, on the one side, and, those, by the pool, on the other side.
Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, sy ny mpanompon’ i Davida nivoaka ka nihaona tamin’ ireo teo amoron’ ny kamory tao Gibeona; ary samy nipetraka teo amin’ ny lafin’ ny kamory avy izy.
14 Then said Abner unto Joab, Let the young men arise, I pray thee, and make sport before us. And Joab said—Let them arise.
Ary hoy Abnera tamin’ i Joaba: Masìna ianao, aoka hitsangana ny zatovo hanao kilalao eto anatrehantsika. Ary hoy Joaba; Aoka ary izy hitsangana.
15 Then there arose, and went over by number, —twelve of Benjamin, pertaining to Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, and twelve, of the servants of David.
Dia nisy nitsangana ka nita, dia roa ambin’ ny folo lahy tamin’ ny Benjamina, izay an’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, ary roa ambin’ ny folo lahy koa tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Davida.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, with his sword in his fellow’s side, so they fell, together, —and that place was called Helkath-hazzadim ["Field of Plotters"], which is in Gideon.
Ary izy rehetra samy nifanavika nifampihazon-doha ka nifandefon-tehezana tamin’ ny sabatra, dia niara-nikarapoka; koa izany no nanaovana izany fitoerana ao Gibeona izany hoe Helkata-hazorima.
17 So the battle became exceeding obstinate, on that day, —and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary dia resy teo anoloan’ ny mpanompon’ i Davida Abnera sy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
18 Now there were there, three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, —and, Asahel, was light of foot as a wild gazelle.
Ary mba teo koa izy telo lahy zanak’ i Zeroia, dia Joaba sy Abisay ary Asahela; ary Asahela dia haingan-tongotra tahaka ny gazela any an-efitra.
19 And Asahel pursued Abner, —and turned not, in going, to the right hand or to the left, from pursuing Abner.
Ary Asahela nanenjika an’ i Abnera, ka ny fandehany nanenjika an’ i Abnera dia tsy nivily akory na tamin’ ny ankavanana na tamin’ ny ankavia.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said—Art thou Asahel? And he said—I am.
Ary Abnera niherika ka nanao hoe: Hianao moa izany, no Asahela? Dia hoy izy: Izaho ity.
21 Then Abner said to him—Turn thee aside, to thy right hand, or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from pursuing him.
Dia hoy Abnera taminy: Mivilia ianao, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, ary zatovo anankiray no sambory, ka baboy ho anao izay eny aminy rehetra. Fa Asahela tsy nety nivily, fa nanenjika azy ihany.
22 And Abner said, yet again, unto Asahel, Turn thee aside from pursuing me, —wherefore should I smite thee to the earth? how then should I lift up my face unto Joab, thy brother?
Ary hoy indray Abnera tamin’ i Asahela: Mivilia ianao, fa aza manenjika ahy; fa hataoko inona moa izay hamely anao hikarapoka amin’ ny tany, ary hataoko ahoana no fijery an’ i Joaba rahalahinao?
23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside, wherefore Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear, in the belly, that the spear came out behind him, and he fell there, and died on the spot, —and so it was, that, as many as came up to the place where Asahel fell and died, stood still.
Nefa tsy nety nivily ihany izy, ka dia nasian’ i Abnera ny antsedefona ny kibony, ka dia niboroaka teo an-damosiny ny lefona, ary nikarapoka teo izy ka maty niaraka tamin’ izay. Ary izay rehetra tonga teo amin’ ilay nikarapohan’ i Asahela sy nahafatesany dia nijanona.
24 Then Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, —but, the sun, had gone in by the time, they, had come as far as the hill of Ammah, that overlooketh Giah, by way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Ary Joaba sy Abisay dia nanenjika an’ i Abnera; ka nony tonga teo amin’ ny havoana Ama izy, izay tandrifin’ i Gia amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny efitr’ i Gibeona, dia maty ny masoandro.
25 And, when the sons of Benjamin had gathered themselves together after Abner, and become one band, —and had taken their stand on the top of a certain hill,
Ary ny taranak’ i Benjamina niangona teo amin’ i Abnera ka nifoko ho iray toko ary nijanona teo an-tampon’ ny havoana anankiray.
26 then Abner cried aloud unto Joab, and said—To the uttermost, must the sword devour? Dost thou not well know that, bitter, shall it be, in the latter end? How long, then, wilt thou not bid the people turn back from pursuing their own brethren?
Ary Abnera niantso an’ i Joaba hoe: Handany mandrakizay va ny sabatra? Tsy fantatrao va fa hangidy ny hiafaran’ izany? Koa mandra-pahoviana no tsy hampivereninao ny olona tsy hanenjika ny rahalahiny?
27 Then said Joab—As God liveth, surely, if thou hadst not spoken, then in the morning, the people would of themselves have gone up, every man from pursuing his brother.
Ary hoy Joaba: Raha velona koa Andriamanitra, raha tsy ilay teninao, dia efa lasa nody any naraina avokoa ny olona ka tsy nanenjika ny rahalahiny akory.
28 So Joab blew with the horn, and all the people stood still, and they neither pursued Israel further, —nor fought any more.
Dia nitsoka ny anjomara Joaba, ka dia nijanona ny olona rehetra, ary tsy nanenjika ny Isiraely intsony na niady taminy intsony izy.
29 And, Abner and his men, journeyed through the waste plain all that night, —and crossed the Jordan, and went through all the Bithron, and entered Mahanaim.
Ary Abnera sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina namaky ny tani-hay, dia nita an’ i Jordana sy namaky an’ i Bitrona rehetra, ka dia tonga tao Mahanaima izy.
30 And, Joab, returned from pursuing Abner, and, when he had gathered together all the people, there were missing of the servants of David—nineteen men, and Asahel;
Ary rehefa niverina Joaba avy nanenjika an’ i Abnera, dia novoriny ny olona rehetra, ary sivy ambin’ ny folo lahy ihany mbamin’ i Asahela no tsy teo ny mpanompon’ i Davida.
31 but, the servants of David, had smitten of Benjamin, of the men of Abner, —[so that] three hundred and sixty men, had died.
Fa ny mpanompon’ i Davida efa nahafaty enim-polo sy telon-jato lahy tamin’ ny Benjamita sy ny olon’ i Abnera.
32 And they carried Asahel, and buried him in the grave of his father, which was in Bethlehem, —and Joab and his men journeyed all the night, and had daylight in Hebron.
Ary Asahela dia nentiny ka naleviny tao amin’ ny fasan-drainy, izay tao Betlehema. Ary Joaba sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina, dia tonga tao Hebrona raha vao nazava ratsy ny andro.
