2 Samuel 14
1 Joab realized that the king yearned [IDM] to see Absalom.
Ita, naawatan ni Joab a putot a lalaki ni Zeyuras ti tarigagay ti puso ti ari a makakita kenni Absalom.
2 So Joab sent someone to Tekoa [town] to bring back a woman who was very clever. [When she arrived, ] Joab said to her, “Pretend that you are grieving because someone has died. Put on clothes that show that you are mourning. Do not put any lotion/ointment on your body. Act as if you are a woman who has been mourning for a long time.
Isu a nangibilin ni Joab idiay Tekoa iti sao nga adda maiyeg kenkuana a maysa a nasirib a babai. Kinunana iti babai, “Pangngaasim ta agpammarangka a kas agladladingit ken agpaneska. Pangngaasim ta saanmo a pulotan ta bagbagim iti lana, ngem ketdi kas iti babai a nabayagen nga agladladingit gapu iti minatayna.
3 And go to the king, and tell him what I tell you to say.” Then Joab told her what to say [MTY] [to the king].
Ket mapanka iti ayan ti ari ket ibagam kenkuana dagiti ibagak.” Imbaga ngarud ni Joab kenkuana dagiti sasao nga ibagana iti ari.
4 So the woman from Tekoa went to the king. She prostrated herself in front of him and then bowed down to him, and said, “Your Majesty, help me!”
Idi napan nakisarita iti ari ti nasirib a babai a naggapu idiay Tekoa, nagpakleb isuna iti daga ket kinunana, “Apo ari tulongannak.”
5 The king replied, “What is your problem?” She replied, “Please, sir, I am a widow. My husband died [some time ago].
Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Ania ti napasamak?” Simmungbat ti babai, “Ti kinapudnona ket maysaak a balo, ken natayen ti asawak.
6 I had two sons. But one day they quarreled with each other out in the fields. There was no one to separate them, and one of them struck the other one and killed him.
Siak, nga adipenmo ken addaan iti dua nga annak a lallaki, ket nagapada a dua idiay talon ken awan ti nanganawa kadakuada. Pinang-or ti maysa ti maysa ket napapatayna.
7 Now, all my family oppose me. They are insisting that I allow them to kill my son who is still alive [MTY], in order that they may get revenge for his killing his brother. But if they do that, I will not have any son to inherit [my husband’s possessions]. That would be like [MET] extinguishing the last coals of a fire, and my husband would not have a son to preserve our family’s name. [DOU]”
Ket ita, sangsangkamaysa a bimmusor kaniak nga adipenmo ti sibubukel a puli, ket kinunada, ''Ipaimayo kadakami ti anak a nangpang-or iti kabsatna, tapno papatayenmi isuna, a kasukat ti biag ti kabsatna a pinatayna.' Ket dadaelenda uray pay ti agtawid. Iti kasta, pukawendanto ti nabatik a beggang, ket awan ibatida nga uray man laeng nagan wenno kaputotan ti asawak iti rabaw ti daga.”
8 Then the king said to the woman, “Go back home; I will take care of this matter for you.”
Kinuna ngarud ti ari iti babai, Agawidka iti balaymo, ket mangibilinakto iti maysa a banag a maaramid a maipaay kenka.”
9 The woman from Tekoa replied to the king, “Your Majesty, if you are criticized [for helping me], my family and I will accept the blame. You and the royal family will (be innocent/not have done what is wrong).”
Simmungbat iti ari ti babai a naggapu idiay Tekoa, “Apok nga ari, maadda koma kaniak ken iti pamilia ni amak ti pammabasol. Ta awan ti nagbiddutan ti ari ken iti tronona.”
10 The king said to her, “If anyone says anything [to threaten you/cause you trouble] you, bring that person to me, and [I will make sure that] he will never cause you trouble again.”
Simmungbat ti ari, “Siasinoman nga agibaga iti aniaman kenka, iyegmo kaniak, ket saannakanton a sagiden.”
11 Then the woman said, “Your Majesty, please pray that Yahweh your God will not allow my relative, who [wants to get] revenge on my son for killing [MTY] his brother, to be able to do that.” David replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, your son will not be harmed at all. [IDM]”
Kinuna ngarud ti babai, “Pangngaasim, malagip koma ti ari ni Yahweh a Diosmo, tapno saanen a dadaelen ti tao nga agibales iti dara ti siasinoman pay, tapno saanda a papatayen ti anakko a lalaki.” Simmungbat ti ari, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, awan uray maysa a buok ti anakmo a lalaki ti matnagto iti daga.
12 Then the woman said, “Your Majesty, please allow me to say one more thing to you.” He replied, “Speak!”
Kinuna ngarud ti babai. Pangngaasim ta palubosam daytoy adipenmo nga agibaga pay iti apok nga ari.” Kinuna ti ari, “Agsaoka latta.”
13 The woman said, “Why have you done this bad thing to God’s people? You have not allowed your son Absalom to return home. By saying what you have just said, you have certainly declared [RHQ] that what you have done is wrong.
Ket kinuna ti babai, “Apay a nagaramidka iti maysa a banag a maibusor kadagiti tattao ti Dios? Ta ti panangibagbaga iti daytoy a banag, kasla maysa a tao ti ari a nagbiddut, gapu ta saan pay a pinagsubli ti ari ti nagtalaw nga anakna a lalaki iti pagtaenganna.
14 We all die; we are like [SIM] water that cannot be picked up after it is spilled on the ground. But God does not just cause us to die; he creates ways to bring us back when we become separated from him.
Ta mataytayo amin ken maiyarig tayo iti danum a saanen a maurnong kalpasan a naibuyat iti daga. Ngem saan a pukawen ti Dios ti biag; ngem ketdi, mangbirok isuna iti wagas tapno pasublienna ti tao a pinapanawna manipud kenkuana.
15 “Now, Your Majesty, I have come to you because others have threatened me. So I said to myself, ‘I will go and talk to the king, and perhaps he will do what I request him to do.
Ita ngarud, makitkitam nga immayak a mangibaga iti daytoy a banag iti apok nga ari, gapu ta pinagbutengdak dagiti tattao. Isu a kinuna ti adipenmo iti bagina, 'Makisaritaak ita iti ari. Mabalin a ti ari ti mangaramid ti kiddaw ti adipenna.
16 Perhaps he will listen to me, and save me from the man who is trying to kill my son. If my son is killed, it would result in us disappearing from the land that God gave to us.’
Ta dumngegto ti ari kaniak, tapno mawayawayaan ti adipenna manipud iti ima ti tao a mangdadael koma kadakami iti anakko a lalaki, manipud iti impatawid ti Dios.'
17 “And I thought, ‘What the king says will comfort/encourage me, because the king is like [SIM] an angel of God. He knows what is good and what is evil.’ I pray/desire that Yahweh our God will (be with/direct) you.”
Kalpasanna, nagkararag daytoy adipenmo, 'Yahweh, pangngaasim ta palubusam a mapalag-anannak koma ti sao ti apok nga ari, ta kas maysa nga anghel ti Dios, kasta met ti apok nga ari iti panangibagbagana iti naimbag manipud iti dakes.' Makikaadda koma kenka ni Yahweh a Diosmo.”
18 Then the king said to the woman, “I will now ask you a question. Answer it, and tell me the truth. [LIT]” The woman replied, “Your majesty, ask your question.”
Simmungbat ngarud ti ari ket kinunana iti babai, “Pangngaasim ta saanmo nga ilibak kaniak ti aniaman a saludsudek kenka.” Simmungbat ti babai, “Agsao koma itan ti apok nga ari.”
19 The king said, “Was Joab the one who told you to do this?” She replied, “Yes, Your Majesty, as surely as you live, I cannot avoid telling you what is true. Yes, indeed, it was Joab who told me to come here, and who told me what to say.
Kinuna ti ari, “Saan kadi a ti ima ni Joab ti kaduam iti daytoy?” Simmungbat ti babai ken kinunana, “Kas agbibiagka apok nga ari, awan ti makalibas iti kannawan nga ima wenno iti kannigid manipud kadagiti banbanag nga imbaga ti apok nga ari. Ni Joab nga adipenmo ti nangbilin ken nangibaga kaniak nga ibagak dagitoy a babanag nga naibaga daytoy adipenmo.
20 He did it in order to cause you to think differently about this matter. Your Majesty, you are as wise as God’s angels, and [it seems that] you know everything [that happens] on the earth, [so you know why Joab sent me here].”
Inaramid daytoy ti adipenmo a ni Joab tapno mabaliwanna ti mapaspasamak. Nasirib ti apok, kas iti kinasirib ti maysa nga anghel ti Dios, ket ammona amin a banbanag a mapaspasamak iti daga.”
21 Then the king [summoned] Joab [and] said to him, “Listen! I have decided to do [what you want]. So go and get that young man Absalom and bring him back [to Jerusalem].”
Isu nga imbaga ti ari kenni Joab, “Kitaem ita, aramidek daytoy a banag. Inka ngarud, ket isublim ditoy ti agtutubo a ni Absalom.”
22 Joab prostrated himself on the ground, and then he bowed down before the king, and [asked God to] bless him. Then Joab said, “Your Majesty, today I know that you are pleased with me, because you have agreed to do what I requested.”
Isu a nagpakleb iti daga ni Joab kas panangipakitana iti panagdayaw ken panagyamanna iti ari. Kinuna ni Joab, “Ita nga aldaw, ammo daytoy adipenmo a nakasarakak iti pabor iti imatangmo, apok nga ari, iti dayta, pinatgan ti ari ti kiddaw ti adipenna.”
23 Then Joab got up and went to Geshur, and got Absalom and brought him back to Jerusalem.
Isu a timmakder ni Joab ket napan idiay Gesur, ken inayawidna ni Absalom idiay Jerusalem.
24 But the king said/commanded that Absalom would not be permitted to live in the palace. He said, “I do not want him to come to see me.” So Absalom lived in his own house, and did not go to [talk to] the king.
Kinuna ti ari, “Mabalinna ti agsubli iti bukodna a balay, ngem saanna a mabalin a makita ti rupak.” Nagsubli ngarud ni Absalom iti bukodna a balay, ngem saanna a nakita ti rupa ti ari.
25 Absalom was very handsome. He looked perfect, from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. In all of Israel there was no one whom people admired more than Absalom.
Ita iti entero nga Israel, awan iti ad-adda a naidaydayaw gapu iti kinataerna ngem ni Absalom. Awan ti pakapilawanna manipud iti dapanna agingga iti tuktokna.
26 His hair was very thick, and he cut it only once each year, when it became too heavy for him. Using the standard weights, he would weigh the hair [that he cut off], and it always weighed about five pounds.
No pukisanna ti buokna tunggal agleppas ti tawen, gapu ta nadagsen daytoy kenkuana, timbangenna ti buokna; agdagsen daytoy iti agarup dua gasut a siklo, a natimbag iti pagtimbangan ti ari.
27 Absalom had three sons and one daughter named Tamar. She was a very beautiful woman.
Naaddaan ni Joab iti tallo a putot a lallaki ken maysa a babai nga agnagan ti Tamar. Napintas isuna a babai.
28 [After] Absalom [returned to] Jerusalem, he lived there two years, and during that time he never [was allowed to] see the king.
Nagnaed ni Absalom idiay Jerusalem iti uneg ti dua a tawen a saanna a nakitkita ti rupa ti ari.
29 So he sent [a messenger] to Joab to ask him to come [and talk to him], but Joab refused to come. So Absalom sent [a message to him] a second time, but he still would not come.
Kalpasanna, nangibilin iti sao ni Absalom kenni Joab nga ibaonna ni Joab iti ari, ngem saan a napan kenkuana ni Joab. Isu a nangibilin manen ti sao ni Absalom iti maikadua a daras, ngem saan latta a napan ni Joab.
30 Then Absalom said to his servants, “You know that Joab’s field is next to mine, and that he has barley [growing] there. Go and light a fire there [to burn his barley].” So Absalom’s servants [went there and] lit a fire, [and all his barley burned].
Isu a kinuna ni Absalom kadagiti adipenna, “Kitaenyo, adda iti talon ni Joab iti abay ti talonko, ken addaan isuna iti sebada sadiay. Inkayo ket puoranyo daytoy.” Isu a pinuoran dagiti adipen ni Absalom ti talon.
31 Joab [knew who had done it, so he] went to Absalom’s house and said to him, “Why have your servants burned [the barley in] my field?”
Timmakder ngarud ni Joab ken napan ni Joab iti balay ni Absalom, ket kinunana, “Apay a pinuoran dagiti adipenmo ti talonko?
32 Absalom replied, “Because [you did not come to me when] I sent messages to you [requesting that you come]. I wanted to request that you go to the king to say to him, ‘Absalom (wants to know what good it did/says that is was useless) [RHQ] for him [RHQ] to leave Geshur and come here. [He thinks that] it would have been better for him to have stayed there. [He wants you to] allow him to talk to you. And if you think that he has done something that is wrong, you can [command that] he be executed.’”
Sinungbatan ni Absalom ni Joab, “Kitaem, nangibilinak iti sao kenka a mangibagbaga nga, 'Umayka ditoy ta ibaonka iti ayan iti ari ta ibagam, “Apay a naiyegak ditoy manipud Gesur? Ita ngarud bay-am a makitak ti rupa ti ari, ket no nagbiddutak, bay-am a papatayennak.””
33 So Joab went to the king, and told him [what Absalom had said]. Then the king [summoned Absalom], and he came to the king and knelt down in front of him with his face touching the ground. Then the king kissed Absalom [to show that he was pleased to see him].
Isu a napan ni Joab iti ari ket imbagana kenkuana. Idi pinaayaban ti ari ni Absalom, napan isuna iti ari ken nagrukob iti daga iti sangoanan ti ari, ket inagekan ti ari ni Absalom.
