< 2 Samuel 15 >
1 Some time later, Absalom acquired a chariot and horses [to pull it]. He [hired] 50 men to run in front of him [to honor him while he was riding around Jerusalem in the chariot].
Amogalu fa: no, A:basalome da `sa: liode’ amola hosi lai. Amola ema sosodo aligisu dunu 50agoane masa: ne ilegei.
2 Furthermore, he always rose early [each morning] and stood by the city gate. Whenever someone came there with a dispute/quarrel that he wanted the king to decide, Absalom would call out to him, asking “What city are you from?” When the person told him what [city and] tribe he was from,
E da hou agoane hamonanusu. E da hahabedafa wa: legadole, asili, moilai holei bega: gadenene lelusu. Nowa da sia: ga gegeiba: le hina bagade ea hahamoma: ne manoba, A:basalome da ema misa: ne wele guda: le, e da habidili misibayale adole ba: su. Amalalu, dunu da ea fi amo sia: noba,
3 Absalom would say to him, “Listen, [I am sure that] what you are saying/claiming is right. But there is no one whom the king has appointed/authorized to listen to [people like] you.”
A: basalome da ema agoane sia: su, “Defea! Sema ilegei da di fidimu gala. Be hina bagade ea alofele iasu dunu, dia se nabasu nabima: ne, da hame gala.”
4 Absalom would then add, “I wish that I were a judge in this land. If I were a judge, anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would decide it fairly/justly.”
Amalalu, A:basalome da eno gilisili amane sia: su, “Hina bagade da na fofada: su dunu ilegemu da defea galu. Amai galea, nowa da sia: ga gegesu o fofada: mu ganiaba da nama misini, moloidafa fofada: su na lobo da: iya ba: la: loba.”
5 And whenever anyone came near to Absalom to bow respectfully in front of him, Absalom would reach out and embrace him and kiss him.
Agoai dunu da A: basalomema begudumusa: manoba, e da amo dunu sogoba: le guda: le nonogosu.
6 Absalom did this to everyone in Israel who came to the king because of having a dispute with someone. In that way, Absalom persuaded all the Israeli people to be more pleased with him [IDM] [than they were pleased with David].
A: basalome da amo hou amo Isala: ili dunu huluanedafa amo ili hina bagadema moloidafa hou lama: ne misi dunu, ilima amane hamosu. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da Da: ibidima fuligala: su hou fisili, bu A: basalome fuligala: i.
7 Four years later, Absalom [went to] the king and said, “Please allow me to go to Hebron [city], in order that I can do what I promised Yahweh that I would do.
Ode biyaduyale da gidigili, A:basalome da hina bagade Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Ada! Na da Hibalone amoga asili, na Hina Godema ilegei amo hamomusa: masa: ne, dia na logo doasima.
8 When I was living in Geshur, in Syria, I promised Yahweh that if he brought me back to Jerusalem, I would worship him [in Hebron].”
Na da Gisie soge (Silia soge bagade amo ganodini) amogawi esalea, na da Hina Gode da na Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega oule ahoabeba: le, na da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega Ema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne ilegei.”
9 The king replied, “You may go.” So Absalom went to Hebron.
Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Olofole masa!” Amaiba: le, A:basalome da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega asi.
10 But [while he was there, ] he secretly sent messengers to all the tribes in Israel, to tell them, “When you hear the sound of the trumpets [being blown], shout ‘Absalom has become the king at Hebron!’”
Be amogawi e da sia: adola ahoasu dunu Isala: ili fi huluane ilima agoane sisia: i lama: ne asunasi, “Dilia dalabede ilia fulabobe nabasea, amane wele sia: ma, `A: basalome da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega, Isala: ili ilia hina bagade hamoi dagoi.’”
11 Absalom had taken with him to Hebron 200 men from Jerusalem, but they did not know [what Absalom was planning to do].
Dunu 200 agoane da A: basalome ili hiougiba: le, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fisili, Hibalone moilai bai bagadega asi ba: i. Ilia da A: basalome ea odoga: su ilegei amo hamedafa dawa: i galu, amola e hame fuligala: i.
12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices [at Hebron], he sent a message to Ahithophel, from Giloh [town], requesting him to come. Ahithophel was one of the king’s advisors. So the number of people who joined Absalom and who were ready to rebel [against David] became larger.
Amola A: basalome da gobele salasu hamonanoba, e da Gailou moilaiga Ahidoufele (hina bagade Da: ibidi ea fada: i sia: ne iasu dunu afae) amo ema misa: ne sia: si. Hina bagade Da: ibidi amo fadegama: ne ilegesu dunu da heda: le amola A: basalome ea fa: no bobogesu dunu ili idi amolawane da heda: lalebe ba: i.
13 Soon a messenger came to David and said to him, “All [HYP] the Israeli people [SYN] are joining Absalom to rebel against you!”
Sia: adola ahoasu dunu da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu da A: basalome amo fuligala: musa: ilegelala.”
14 So David said to all his officials, “We must leave immediately if we want to escape from Absalom! We must go quickly, before he [and his men] arrive. If we do not do that, they will kill us and everyone else in the city!”
Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da ea eagene ouligisu dunu amo da e fidisa Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu, ilima amane sia: i, “Ninia wahadafa A: basalomeba: le hobeala: di. Hadiga! E da hedolo misini, nini hasalalu amola dunu huluane moilaiga esalebe fane legesa: besa: le, ninia hedolodafa hobeale ahoa: di.”
15 The king’s officials said, “Okay, your majesty, we are ready to do whatever you decide.”
Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Hina noga: idafa! Ninia da dia sia: i defele hamomusa: momagei dagoi.”
16 So the king left ten of his slave wives there to take care of the palace, but all the other people in his palace went with him.
Amaiba: le, hina bagade amola ea sosogo fi huluane amola ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane da fisili asi. Be e da ea gidisedagi uda nabuane gala, hina bagade ea diasu ouligima: ne yolesi.
17 When they all were leaving [the city], they stopped at the last house.
Hina bagade amola ea dunu da moilai fisili ahoanoba, ilia da diasu fa: nogadafa amogawi aliligi.
18 The king and his officials stood there while his bodyguards went by in front of him. 600 soldiers from Gath [city] also walked by in front of him.
Ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane ili dadafulili lelefulu. Amola hina bagade ea da: i sosodo aligisu dunu da ea midadi baligili asi. Dadi gagui dunu600 agoane (amo da musa: Ga: de soge fisili, Da: ibidima fa: no bobogei) ilia amola Da: ibidi midadi baligili asi.
19 Then David said to Ittai, [the leader of the soldiers] from Gath, “(Why are you going with us?/You should not be going with us.) [RHQ] Go back and stay with [Absalom] the [new] king. You are not an Israeli; you are living away from your own land.
Hina bagade da ilia ouligisu dunu amo Ida: iai ema amane sia: i, “Di da abuliba: le ani ahoabela: ? Buhagili, amalu gaheabolo hina bagade ali aligima! Di da ga fi dunu, amola dia sogedafa fisili guiguda: mugululi misi dunu agoai esala.
20 You have lived here [in Israel] for only a short time [HYP]. And we do not even know where we will be going. So it is not right [RHQ] for me to force you to wander around with us. And take your troops with you. And I hope/wish that Yahweh will faithfully love and be loyal to you.”
Di da eso bagahame guiguda: esalu. Amaiba: le, di da ani udigili ahoanumu da hamedei. Na da na doaga: mu sogebi hamedafa dawa: Buhagima! Amola dia fi dunu amola bu oule masa! Amola Hina Gode da di mae fisili, dima asigilalumu da defea.”
21 But Ittai replied, “Your Majesty, as surely as you live, wherever you go, I will go; I will stay with you, whether they kill me or allow me to live.”
Be Ida: iai da bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le dafawane ilegesa. Na da di adi sogega ahoasea, ani masunu. Di da bogosea, ani galu bogomu. Be na da di hamedafa yolesimu.”
22 David replied to Ittai, “Okay, march with us!” So Ittai and all his troops and their families went [with David].
Da: ibidi da amane adole i, “Defea! Mogodigili masa!” Amaiba: le, Ida: iai amola ea dunu amola ilia sosogo da bu ahoanu.
23 All the people [along the road] cried when they saw them walking by. The king and all the others crossed the Kidron Valley and then they all went [up the hill] toward the desert.
Da: ibidi ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da ga ahoanoba, dunu huluane da ha: giwane dinanu. Hina bagade da ea dunu bisili, Gidalone hano fonobahadi degele, ilia gilisili hafoga: i sogega ahoanebe ba: i.
24 Abiathar and Zadok, [the priests, ] were walking with them. The descendants of Levi [who helped the priests] also went with them, carrying the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments. But they set it on the ground until all the others had left the city.
Gobele salasu dunu amo Sa: idoge amola Lifai fi dunu amo Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli ahoanebe ba: i. Ilia amo ligisili, dunu huluanedafa da moilai yolesi dagoi ba: loba fawane bu gaguia gadoi. Gobele salasu dunu Abaia: da amola da amogawi esalebe ba: i.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “You and Abiathar take the sacred chest back into the city. If Yahweh is pleased with me, he will some day allow me to return to see it and the place where it is kept.
Amalalu, hina bagade da Sa: idogema amane sia: i, “Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo moilai bai bagadega bu gaguli masa. Hina Gode da nama hahawane galea, E da na Gousa: su Sema Gagili amola amo ea ilegei sogebi amo ba: la masa: ne logo doasimu.
26 But if he says that he is not pleased with me, then I am willing for him to do to me whatever he thinks is good.”
Be E da nama hahawane hame galea - defea - E da nama Ea hanaiga hamomu da defea.”
27 He also said to Zadok, “Listen [to what I suggest]. You and Abiathar return to the city peacefully/safely, and take your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan with you.
Amola Da: ibidi da Sa: idogema eno amane sia: i, “Di da ba: la: lusu dunula: ? Diagofe Ahima: ia: se amola Abaia: da egefe amo Yonada: ne amo lalalu, olofole moilai bai bagadega buhagima.
28 I will wait in the desert at the place where people can walk across the river, until you send a message to me.”
Amogalu, na da hafoga: i soge ganodini, hano degesu gadenene sogebi amogawi dilia sia: nabimusa: ouesalumu.”
29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the sacred chest back to Jerusalem, and they stayed there.
Amaiba: le, Sa: idoge amola Abaia: da da Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli asili, amogawi ouesalu.
30 David [and those with him] went up Olive [Tree] Hill. David was crying while he walked. He was walking barefoot and had something covering his head [to show that he was sorrowful]. All those who were going with him also covered their heads and were crying while they walked.
Da: ibidi da digini asili, Olife Goumiba: le heda: i. E da ea emo salasu mae salawane amola ea da: i dioi olelema: ne, ea dialuma dedeboiwane asi. Amola dunu huluane ema fa: no bobogebe da ilia dialuma hulu dedebole digini afia: lebe ba: i.
31 Someone told David that Ahithophel had joined with those who were rebelling against David. So David prayed, “Yahweh, cause whatever Ahithophel suggests to Absalom [that he should do to be considered] to be foolish!”
Ilia da Da: ibidima amane olelei, “Ahidoufele da A: basalome ea odoga: su hou amoga gilisi.” Amalalu, Da: ibidi da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Dia Ahidoufele ea fada: i sia: ne iasu sia: amo afadenene, gagaoui dunu ea sia: agoane hamoma: ma.”
32 When they arrived at the top of the hill, where there was a place where the people worshiped [God], suddenly Hushai, from the Arki people-group, met David. He had torn his clothes and put dirt on his head [to show that he was very sad].
Olife Goumi da: iya gado da nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi dialebe ba: i. Da: ibidi da amogawi doaga: loba, ea samadafa amo Agaide dunu ea dio amo Hiusiai da ema misi. Ea da abula gagadelale ga: ne, amola ea dialuma da: iya osobo uli ba: i.
33 David said to him, “If you go with me, you will not be able to help me.
Da: ibidi da ema amane sia: i, “Di da ani ahoasea, na hame fidimu.
34 But if you return to the city, [you can help me by] saying to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will serve you as faithfully as I served your father.’ If you do that [and stay near Absalom], you will be able to oppose any advice that Ahithophel gives to Absalom.
Be dia na fidimusa: dawa: sea, agoane hamoma. Di Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega buhagili, A:basalomema amane olelema, `Na da diada mae yolesili, fuligala: iwane hawa: hamonanu, amo defele na da di fidimu.’ amane sia: ma. Amasea, Ahidoufele da A: basalomema fada: i sia: sia: sea, di da ema amo sia: ga mae fa: no bobogema: ne sia: ma.
35 Zadok and Abiathar the priests are already there [RHQ]. Whatever you hear people say in the king’s palace, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar.
Di da gobele salasu dunu Sa: idoge amola Abaia: da amogawi esalebe ba: mu. Sia: huluane di da hina bagade diasua nababe, amo elama olelema.
36 Keep in mind that Zadok’s son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan are also there. You can tell them whatever you find out, and send them to report it to me.”
Elea egefela amo Ahima: ia: se amola Yonada: ne amo da ili galu esala. Amaiba: le, di da hina bagade diasua fada: i sia: nabasea, ela da amo nama adomusa: , asunasima.”
37 So David’s friend Hushai returned to the city, at the same time that Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi ea sama Hiusiai da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega buhagi. E doaga: be amo galu, A:basalome doaga: lebe ba: i.
