2 Samuel 18
1 David arranged his soldiers for the battle. He divided them into groups, and appointed a commander for each 100 soldiers and a commander for each 1,000 soldiers.
Hagi Deviti'a agranema vu'naza sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'za kegavama hanaza sondia vahe'ma huhampri zamante'neana 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamanteno, mago'a 100'a sondia vahete kva huhampri zamante'ne.
2 He sent them out in three groups. Joab commanded one group, Joab’s brother Abishai commanded a second group, and Ittai from Gath commanded the third group. David said to them, “I myself will go with you [to the battle].”
Hagi 3'a kevuma sondia vahe'ma refako hu'nefintira, mago kevua Joapu kegava higeno, mago kevua Joapu nefu Abisai kva higeno mago kevu'a Gatiti ne' Itaia kegava hu'ne. Ana hazageno kini ne'mo'a sondia vahetamina zamasamino, nagrane hatera vugahue.
3 But his soldiers said, “No, we will not allow you to go with us. If they force us all to run away, they will not be concerned about that happening. Or if they kill half of us, that will also not be what they want. To them, [killing] you is more important than [killing] 10,000 of us. So it will be better that you [stay here] in the city and send help to us.”
Hianagi sondia vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, Kagra tagranena hatera ovugahane, tagrama hapinti'ma atreta frege, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za mago'a vahetima zamahesu'za, ana zankura zamagra ontahigahaze. Hagi kagrama vananke'za kahesu'za 10 tauseni'a vahe'ma zamahe'za musema nehazankna hugahaze. Hagi kagra atrenka kumate mani'nenka vaheku'ma upa hanuno, neone zanku upa'ma hanunkenka taza hananana knare hugahie.
4 The king replied, “Okay, I will do whatever seems best to you.” So he stood at the gate [and watched] while his soldiers marched out, group by group.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Tamagrama antahisageno'ma knarema haniazana nagra hugahue. Hagi kini ne'mo rankumamofo kahante uotino mani'nege'za sondia vahe'mo'za 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kvao, 100'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevu nevazageno, 1tauseni'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevumo'za vu'naze.
5 [While they were leaving, ] the king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “For my sake, do not harm my son Absalom!” And all the troops heard it when David gave that order about Absalom to those three commanders.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Joapunki, Abisainki, Ittainena zamasami'ne, Nagri'ma antahinamisuta Absalomuna agazone hunteho. Hagi ana nanekema 3'a kva vahe'ma zamasamiana mika sondia vahe'mo'za nentahizageno zamasami'ne.
6 So the army went out to fight against the Israeli soldiers [who were with Absalom]. They fought the battle in the forest [where people from the tribe] of Ephraim [lived].
Anante Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za vu'za Efraemi zafafi Israeli sondia vahe'ene hara ome hu'naze.
7 David’s soldiers defeated Absalom’s soldiers. They killed 20,000 of them!
Hagi Deviti naga'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzamagaterage'za, ana zupa 20 tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri'naze.
8 The battle was fought {They fought the battle} all over that area, and the number of men who died because of [dangerous things in] the forest [PRS] was greater than the number of men who were killed (in the battle/by swords).
Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra huno maka kaziga vuno eno higeno, ana zafafima savri hu'za hazenkema eri'za fri'naza vahe'mofo nampamo'a kazinteti'ma zamahe'naza vahe'mokizmi nampana agatere'ne.
9 During the battle, Absalom suddenly came near [some of] David’s soldiers. Absalom was riding on his mule; and when the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak tree, Absalom’s head/hair was caught in the branches. The mule kept going, but Absalom was left dangling in the air.
Hagi ana ha'ma nehazageno'a, Absalomu'a Deviti sondia vahe mani'narega e'ne. Hagi eme zamageno miuli nehaza donkifi frenaku freno viana oki zafa azankuna'afi azokamo'a rusi huno azeri sga higeno miuli donkimo'a atreno fre'ne.
10 One of David’s soldiers saw what happened, and went and told Joab, “I saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!”
Hagi mago sondia ne'mo'a ana zana negeno vuno Joapuna ome asamino, Absalomuna azoka'mo'a oki zafafi rusi huno azeri sga higeno mani'ne.
11 Joab said to the man, “What? You say that you saw him hanging there, so why did you not kill him immediately [RHQ]? [If you had killed him, ] I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt!”
Ana'ma hutegeno'a Joapua ana nera asamino, nahigenka agrira ahe ofri'nane, kagrama ahe frintesina nagra silvane harafa ma nentaniza amu nofira kamuresine.
12 The man replied to Joab, “Even if you gave me 1,000 pieces of silver, I would not have done anything to harm [IDM] the king’s son. We all heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake, do not harm my son Absalom!’
Hianagi ana sondia ne'mo kenona huno, 1tauseni'a silva nenaminka ome ahe frio hunka hugahananagi, nagra anara osugahue. Hagi tagra nentahukeno kini ne'mo'a kagri'ene tare kva netrena Abisaine Ittainena tamasamino Absalomuna ahe ofriho hu'ne.
13 If I had disobeyed the king and killed Absalom, the king would have heard about it, because the king hears about everything, and even you would not have defended me!”
Hagi nagra ana nera ahoresina, kini ne'mo'a keno eri fore hisine. Na'ankure maka'zama fore hiazana agra ko nentahie. Hagi agra keagare'ma nazeri otino nazeri havizama hanifintira, kagra naza osugahane.
14 Joab said, “I am not going to waste time talking to you!” Then he took three spears [and went to where Absalom was], and thrust them into Absalom’s chest/heart while he was still alive, dangling from the oak tree.
Hagi Joapu'a ana nekura amanage hu'ne, Kea osunka tagano, nehuno oki zamofo azanku'nate Absalomu'a hantiteno ofri mani'negeno 3'a karugru keve erino vuno, Absalomuna tumo ruragino regeno fri'ne.
15 Then ten young men who carried weapons for Joab surrounded Absalom and [finished] killing him.
Hagi Joapu hankore'ma e'neri'za 10ni'a vahe'mo'za Absalomuna ome regagi'za ahe'naze.
16 Then Joab blew his trumpet [to signal that they should not fight any more], and his soldiers returned from pursuing those Israeli soldiers.
Hagi ana huteno Joapu'a uferege'za agri sondia vahe'mo'za Israeli sondia vahe'ma zamarotagoma nehazaregatira atre'za e'naze.
17 They took Absalom’s body and threw it into a huge pit in the forest, and covered it with a huge pile of stones. Then all the remaining Israeli soldiers [who had been with Absalom] fled to their own towns.
Hagi Absalomuna avufga'a eri'za mago keri kampi nevaziza, ana agofetura have eri'za rentrako huntazageno hihi huno mareri'ne. Hagi ana'ma hige'za mika Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za kumazamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
18 Absalom had no sons to preserve his [family] name. So, while Absalom was alive, he built a monument to himself in the King’s Valley [near Jerusalem, in order that people would remember him]. He put his name on the monument, and people still call it Absalom’s monument.
Hagi Absalomu'a kasefa huno'ma mani'neno'a, mago havea eri retru renenteno nagra mofavre onte'noankino, ama havemo'a nagri nagi erino avame'za megahie, huno hu'neankino menina ana havea me'nege'za nege'za Absalomu have hu'za nehaze.
19 [After Absalom had been killed, ] Zadok’s son Ahimaaz said to Joab, “Allow me to run to the king to tell him the good news that Yahweh has rescued him from the power of his enemies!”
Anante Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a Joapuna asamino, natrege'na nagarena vu'na amama fore'ma hia zamofo musenkea kea Devitina ome asamina, Ra Anumzamo'a ha' vahekamofo azampintira kaguvazie hu'na ome asamineno.
20 But Joab said to him, “No, I will not allow you to take news to the king today. Some other day I will allow you to take some news, but not today. [If you took news today it would not be good news for the king, ] because his son is dead.”
Hagi Joapu'a kenona huno, Kagra menina ama musenkea erinka kini netega ovugahane. Hagi henka musenkea erinka vugahane. Na'ankure menina agri'a mofavre fri'ne.
21 Then Joab said to David’s servant who was from Ethiopia, “You go and tell the king what you have seen.” So the man from Ethiopia bowed in front of Joab, and started to run.
Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mofo Joapu'a hunteno anage hu'ne, Kagra knazamofo nanekea Devitina ome asamio, ana ne'mo'a Joapu avuga renareno kepri huteno agareno vu'ne.
22 Then Ahimaaz said again to Joab, “Even though [that man from Ethiopia is running], allow me to run behind him.” Joab replied, “My boy/son, why do you want to do that? You will not receive any reward for your news!”
Hianagi Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a hanavetino Joapuna asamino, Nazano navufgare'ma fore'ma hania zankura kagesa ontahi natrege'na nagranena kini nete vaneno. Higeno Joapu'a huno, Mago mizana e'origahananki, na'agafare vunaku nehane?
23 But Ahimaaz replied, “That does not matter, I want to go.” So Joab said, “Okay, go.” So Ahimaaz ran along [another] road through the Jordan Valley and arrived [where David was] before the man from Ethiopia arrived.
Hianagi Ahimasi'a huno, Nazano nagrite'ma fore'ma hania zankura ontahuanagi nagrira natrege'na va'neno. Higeno Joapu'a knareki vuo huno hunte'ne. Hagi Ahimasi'a Jodani agupofinti Mahanaimiti rugitagino Sudani (Itiopia) nera ovu'negeno uhanati'ne.
24 David was sitting between the outer gate and the inner gate [of the city]. The watchman/lookout went up on top of the city wall and stood on the roof over the gates. He looked out and saw one man running alone.
Hagi Deviti'a ran kuma'mofona tare kahantremofo amu'nompi mani'negeno, anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma kegava nehia ne'mo marerino kuma kegina agofetuti ome keana, mago ne'mo'a agra'ake agareno ne-egeno ke'ne.
25 The watchman called down and reported it to the king. The king said, “If he is alone, [that indicates/means that] he is bringing [good] news.” The man who was running continued to come closer.
Hagi anaga mani'neo avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, mago ne'mo agareno ne-ege'na negoe, huno kini nera asmigeno, Kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra'akema ne-esiana e'i knare musenke erino ne-e. Hagi anama agarenoma nea ne'mo'a erava'o hu'ne.
26 Then the watchman saw another man running. So he called down to the gatekeeper, “Look! There is another man running!” And the king said, “He also is bringing [some good] news.”
Higeno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, Anama agareno ne-ea nemofo amefira mago vahe agareno ne-e, huno kafante'ma kegava nehia netega kezatimine. Hagi anagama mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegavama nehia ne'mo'a kafante'ma kegava nehia nera kezatimino, Kotama e'nea ne'mofo amefira mago ne' ne-e, higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, agranena knare musenke erino ne-e.
27 The watchman said, “I think the first man [must be Ahimaaz, because he] is running like Ahimaaz runs.” The king said, “He is a good man, and [I am sure] he is coming with good news.”
Hagi anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a huno, Ese'ma ne-ea ne'ma koana Ahimasikna hu'ne. Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra knare nekino knare musenke erino ne-e.
28 [When] Ahimaaz [reached the king, he] called out “I hope/desire that things will go well with you!” Then he prostrated himself on the ground in front of the king and said, “Your Majesty, praise Yahweh our God, who has rescued you from the men who were rebelling against you!”
Hagi Ahimasi'a kini ne'mofona anage huno kezatimi'ne, Mikazamo'a knare hu'ne, nehuno eme kepri huno Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofo ragi amisune. Na'ankure kini ne'mokama ha'ma renegantea nera hago ahe'naze.
29 The king said, “Is the young man Absalom safe/all right?” Ahimaaz [did not want to answer that question, so he] replied, “When Joab sent me, I saw that there was a lot of confusion, but I do not know what it was about.”
Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, Absalomu'a knare mani'negenka nehampi? Higeno Ahimasi'a kenona huno, Joapu'ma nagri'ene eri'za neka'anema hunerantegeno'a vahe'mo'za atru hu'ne'za ranke ranke hu'nazanagi, na'a fore hu'ne nagra ke'na antahi'na osu'noe.
30 Then the king said, “Stand aside.” So Ahimaaz stepped aside and stood there.
Higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, antire evu mani'nenka avega anto, higeno Ahimasia anante oti'no mani'ne.
31 Suddenly the man from Ethiopia arrived, and said, “Your Majesty, I have good news for you! Yahweh has enabled your soldiers to defeat all those who rebelled against you!”
Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo ehanatino anage hu'ne, kini ne' ranimoka knare musenke eri'na neoe. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kahe'zama nehie vahe zamazampintira kazeri atre.
32 The king said to him, “Is the young man Absalom safe/all right?” And the man from Ethiopia replied, “Sir, I wish/desire that what happened to him would happen to all of your enemies and to all those who rebel against you!”
Hagi ana kema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a, ne'ni'a Absalomu'a knare huno mani'nefi? Higeno Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo'a kenona huno, Kini ne'moka kagri ha' vahete'ene ha'ma renegantaza vahetera, Absalomunte'ma fore'ma hianknaza fore hugahie.
33 The king [realized that he meant that Absalom was dead, so he] became (extremely distressed/overcome with grief), and he went up to the room above the gateway and cried. While he was going up, he kept crying out, “O, my son Absalom! My son! O, my son Absalom, I desire/wish that I had died instead of you!”
Hagi kini ne'mo'a tusi asunku nehuno kuma kafamofo agofetu me'nea nonte marerino hunaragintepinka zavi ome ate'ne. Hagi agra zavi'neteno anage hu'ne, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke, Absalomuge, kagri noma eri'na nagrama frisuana knare hugahie, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke huno zavira ate'ne.
