2 Samuel 19
1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
Ary nambara tamin’ i Joaba hoe: Indro, mitomany sy misaona an’ i Absaloma ny mpanjaka.
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
Ary ny famonjena dia tonga fisaonana tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra androtrizay, satria ren’ ny vahoaka tamin’ izany andro izany hoe: Malahelo ny zanany ny mpanjaka.
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
Ka dia niakatra nisokosoko tao an-tanàna ny olona tamin’ izany andro izany, toy ny fisokosokon’ ny olona menatra raha mandositra amin’ ny ady.
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
Fa ny mpanjaka nanarona ny tavany sady nidradradradra tamin’ ny feo mafy hoe: Ry Absaloma, zanako, ry Absaloma, zanako, zanako ô!
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
Ary niditra tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao an-trano Joaba ka nanao hoe: Efa nomenarinao androany ny mpanomponao rehetra izay namonjy ny ainao androany sy ny ain’ ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ary ny ain’ ny vadinao sy ny vaditsindranonao;
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
fa ny mankahala anao no tianao, ary ny tia anao kosa no halanao, ka nasehonao androany fa tsinontsinona aminao ny manamboninahitra sy ny miaramila; ary hitako izao fa raha velona Absaloma, ka izahay rehetra no maty androany, dia izany no sitrakao.
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
Koa mitsangàna ankehitriny, ka mivoaha, ary manaova teny soa amin’ ny mpanomponao; fa mianiana amin’ i Jehovah aho fa raha tsy mivoaka ianao, dia tsy hisy na dia iray akory aza hitoetra eto aminao anio alina; ka dia izany no ho mafy lavitra aminao noho ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anao hatry ny fony ianao vao zaza ka ambaraka ankehitriny.
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka nijanona teo am-bavahady; ary nolazaina tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Indro, ny mpanjaka mijanona eo am-bavahady. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Ary ny Isiraely dia samy efa lasa nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy.
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely nifanditra hoe: Ny mpanjaka no namonjy antsika tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalontsika, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina; nefa ankehitriny dia efa nandositra niala tamin’ ny tany izy noho ny amin’ i Absaloma.
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
Ary Absaloma, izay nohosorantsika hanjaka amintsika, dia efa maty tamin’ ny ady. Koa nahoana ianareo no tsy miteny akory ny amin’ ny hampodiana ny mpanjaka?
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka tany amin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona ka nanao hoe: Ataovy amin’ ny loholon’ ny Joda hoe: Nahoana no dia ianareo indray no ho farany amin’ ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka ho any an-tranony? fa ny tenin’ ny Isiraely rehetra efa tonga tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranony
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
rahalahiko ianareo, ary taolako sy nofoko ianareo; koa nahoana no dia ianareo Indray no ho farany amin’ ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka?
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
Ary ataovy amin’ i Amasa koa hoe: Tsy taolako sy nofoko va ianao? Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy komandin’ ny miaramila eo anatrehako mandrakariva ho solon’ i Joaba ianao.
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
Ary dia nampitodika ny fon’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda ho toy ny olona iray izy; ka dia naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Modia ianao sy ny mpanomponao rehetra.
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
Ary dia nody ny mpanjaka ka tonga tao Jordana; ary ny Joda tonga tao Gilgala hitsena ny mpanjaka hitondra azy hita an’ i Jordana.
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
Ary Simey, zanak’ i Gera, Benjamita avy any Bahorina, dia nidodododo nidina araka tamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda tsena an’ i Davida mpanjaka.
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
Ary nisy benjamita arivo lahy koa nanaraka azy, ary Ziba, mpanompon’ ny taranak’ i Saoly, mbamin’ ny zananilahy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy mpanompony roa-polo lahy izay nanaraka azy; ary dia nita an’ i Jordana teo alohan’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
Ary navoivoy teo ny lakana hampitana ny ankohonan’ ny mpanjaka sy hanaovany izay sitrany. Ary nony efa hita an’ i Jordana ny mpanjaka, dia indro Simey, zanak’ i Gera, niankohoka teo anatrehany.
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Aoka tsy hisain’ ny tompoko heloka aho, ary aoka tsy hotsarovanao ny ratsy nataon’ ny mpanomponao tamin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko niala tany Jerosalema, ary aoka tsy ho eritreretin’ ny mpanjaka izany;
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
fa fantatro, izaho mpanomponao, fa nanota aho; ka he! izaho no avy voalohany androany amin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa rehetra ka nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka tompoko.
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
Fa namaly Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, ka nanao hoe: Tsy hovonoina va Simey noho izany, satria efa nanozona ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy?
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
Dia hoy Davida: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianareo, ry zanak’ i Zeroia, no tonga mpanohitra ahy ianareo anio? Tokony hisy olona hatao maty va eto amin’ ny Isiraely izao? Fa moa tsy fantatra va fa izaho no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely anio?
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
Ary dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i simey: Tsy ho faty ianao. Ary ny mpanjaka dia nianiana taminy.
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
Ary Mefiboseta, zanakalahin’ i Saoly, nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka, ary tsy nanasa tongotra na namboatra volom-bava na nanasa lamba izy hatramin’ ny andro nialan’ ny mpanjaka ka hatramin’ ny andro nahatongavany soa aman-tsara.
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Ary nony efa tonga hitsena ny mpanjaka ny avy any Jerosalema, dia hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no tsy mba nandeha niaraka tamiko ianao, ry Mefiboseta?
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
Fa hoy izy: Ry mpanjaka tompoko, nofitahin’ ny mpanompoko aho: Hanisy lasely ny boriky aho hitaingenako ka hankany amin’ ny mpanjaka; fa malemy tongotra ny mpanomponao.
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
Nefa nendrikendrehiny tamin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko izaho mpanomponao; fa ny mpanjaka tompoko dia hoy Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra; koa ataovy izay sitrakao.
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
Fa ny taranaky ny raiko rehetra dia samy olona tokony ho faty teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko; nefa ianao nampitoetra ahy mpanomponao ho isan’ izay mihinana amin’ ny latabatrao. Koa inona intsony no rariny ho ahy, ary inona no mbola hitarainako amin’ ny mpanjaka?
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no lazainao indray ny raharahanao? Nefa izaho efa nilaza hoe: Hianao sy Ziba no hizara ny tany.
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
Ary hoy Mefiboseta tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Aoka dia ho azy avokoa izy rehetra, fa ianao mpanjaka tompoko efa tonga soa aman-tsara ao amin’ ny tranonao indray.
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
Ary Barzilay Gileadita nidina avy tany Rogelima, dia niara-nita an’ i Jordana tamin’ ny mpanjaka izy mba hanatitra azy hita an’ i Jordana.
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
Ary Barzilay dia lehilahy antitra, efa valo-polo taona; ary izy efa nanome hanina ny mpanjaka, raha nitoetra tany Mahanaima izy; fa mpanjatobe indrindra izy.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Barzilay: Andeha hiara-mita amiko ianao hovelomiko any amiko any Jerosalema.
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
Fa hoy Barzilay tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Hoatrinona intsony moa no andro hahavelomako, no hiara-miakatra amin’ ny mpanjaka hankany Jerosalema aho?
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
Valo-polo taona izay ny andro nahavelomako, ka mahalala izay soa sy ratsy intsony va aho? Mahatsiaro ny tsiron-javatra haniko sy sotroiko intsony va aho mpanomponao? Mahare izay feon’ ny mpihiralahy sy ny mpihiravavy intsony va aho? Koa nahoana ny mpanomponao no mbola ho enta-mavesatra amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko?
36 I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
Kely foana no handehanan’ ny mpanomponao eo an-dafin’ i Jordana hiaraka amin’ ny mpanjaka; koa nahoana ny mpanjaka no dia hamaly fitia ahy loatra toy izany?
37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho mpanomponao hody ihany ka ho fety any amin’ ny vohitro ao akaikin’ ny fasan’ ikaky sy ineny. Fa indro Kimama mpanomponao; aoka izy no hiaraka amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakao.
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Handeha hiaraka amiko tokoa Kimama, ka hataoko aminy izay sitrakao, ary izay angatahinao dia hataoko ho anao.
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nita an’ i Jordana. Ary nony tafita ny mpanjaka, dia norohan’ ny mpanjaka Barzilay sady notsofiny rano, ary dia lasa nody ho any amin’ ny fonenany izy.
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
Dia nandroso nankany Gilgala mpanjaka, ary Kimama niaraka taminy; ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda sy ny antsasaky ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely koa nanatitra ny mpanjaka.
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
Ary, indreo, ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ Isiraely nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda, rahalahinay, no nangalatra anao ka nitondra ny mpanjaka sy ny ankohonany ary ny olon’ i Davida rehetra teny aminy hita an’ i Jordana?
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
Ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda dia namaly ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely hoe: Satria havanay akaiky ny mpanjaka; ka ahoana no mahatezitra anareo amin’ izany? Nadany ny mpanjaka va izahay? Na nanome zavatra anay akory va izy?
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely kosa namaly ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda hoe: Izahay manana anjaram-polo amin’ ny mpanjaka; eny, izahay manana an’ i Davida mihoatra noho ianareo; koa ahoana ianareo no nanao tsinontsinona anay? Tsy izahay va no niteny talohanareo nampody ny mpanjakanay? Ary ny tenin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda dia lozaloza kokoa noho ny tenin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
