2 Samuel 2
1 Some time after that, David asked Yahweh, “Should I go back to [live in] one of the towns in Judah?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go up there.” Then David asked, “To which town should I go?” Yahweh replied, “To Hebron.”
Hagi ana knazama fore'ma hutegeno, Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Nagra knare Juda vahe'mokizmi mago rankumapina vugahufi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Umarerio higeno Deviti'a mago'ane antahigeno, Ina kumate nagra vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Hebroni vugahane.
2 So David went up there, taking his two wives, Ahinoam who was from Jezreel [city], and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel [city].
Higeno Deviti'a tare a'trema'a Jezrieli kumateti a' Ahinoamune, Karmeli kumate ne' Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea Abigeline nezanavreno vu'ne.
3 He also took the men who had been with him, and their families. They all started to live in villages near Hebron.
Hagi Deviti'a agranema mani'naza vene'nene, a'mofavre'zaminena zamavarege'za magoka mareri'za Hebroni kumate megagi'nea kumatamimpi umani'naze.
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and [one of] them poured olive oil on David’s head [to show they were appointing him to be] [MTY] the king of the tribe [MTY] of Judah. When David found out that the people of Jabesh [town] in [the] Gilead [region] had buried Saul’s body,
Hagi anantega umani'nazage'za, Juda vahe'mo'za e'za Devitina masavena eme tagi'za frenente'za Juda vahe kinia azeri oti'naze. Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asamiza, Jabesh-Giliat vahe'mo'za Soli avufga eri'za ome asente'naze.
5 he sent messengers to the men of Jabesh to tell them this: “I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless you for having shown, by burying the body of Saul your king, that you were loyal to him.
Hazageno Deviti'a Jabes-Giliati vahetega kema erino vu vahera anage huno huzmante'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a knare tamavutamava huta rankvatamimofo Soli avufgama erisentazarera, asomu huramante'nie.
6 Now I also desire/hope that Yahweh will faithfully love you and be loyal to you. And I will do good things for you because of what you have done [for Saul].
Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a vagaore avesizanteti avesineramantena, knare tamavu'tamava'ma hazarera nagranena tamagrira knare navu'nava huramantegahue.
7 Now, although Saul your king is dead, be strong and courageous, like the people of Judah, who have appointed me to be their king.”
E'ina hu'negu menina tamagra oti hanavenetita, koro osu hanavetita maniho. Na'ankure rantimo Soli'a hago frigeno, Juda vahe'mo'za kini maninka kegava huranto hu'za masave frenante'za kinia nazeri oti'naze.
8 [While this was happening], Ner’s son Abner, the commander of Saul’s army, took Saul’s son Ishbosheth and went across [the Jordan River] to Mahanaim [town].
Hu'neanagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Soli sondia vahete kva ne' Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-bosetina avreno Mahanaimi kumate vu'ne.
9 There Abner proclaimed that Ishbosheth was now the king of [the] Gilead [region] and of the tribe of Asher and the region of Jezreel and the tribes of Ephraim and Benjamin. That meant that he was the king of all of the people of Israel.
Hagi ana kumatega agra huama huno, Giliati vahete'ene, Asuri vahete'ene, Jezrili vahete'ene, Efraemi vahete'ene, Benzameni vahete'ene Asuri mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene mika Israeli vahe kini manisie huno Is-bosetina azeri oti'ne.
10 Ishbosheth was 40 years old when he started to rule over the people of Israel. He ruled them for two years. But the tribe of Judah (was loyal to David/wanted David to be their king),
Hagi Soli nemofo Is-boseti'a 40'a kafu hu'neno, Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra Mahanaimi mani'neno tare kafufi kini eri'zana eri'ne. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Deviti amage ante'naze.
11 and he ruled them for seven and a half years while he was living in Hebron.
Hagi Deviti'a Hebroni kumara rankuma'a tro huno mani'neno, 7ni'a kafugi 6'a ikampi Hebroni kumatera Juda vahe kinia mani'ne.
12 [One day] Abner and the officials of Isbosheth went from Mahanaim [across the Jordan River] to Gibeon [city].
Hagi Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-boseti eri'za vahetami nezamavareno, Mahanaimi kumara atreno Gibeoni kumate vu'ne.
13 Joab, whose mother was Zeruiah, and some of David’s officials [went from Hebron to Gibeon, and] met at the pool there. They all sat down, the one group on one side of the pool and the other group on the other side.
Hagi anama nehiana Zeruia nemofo Joapu'a Deviti sondia vahera nezamavareno Gibeoni tinkerire ome tutagiha huzmante'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za ana tirumofo kantugama umani emani hu'naze.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Let’s tell some of our young men to fight each other!” Joab replied, “Okay!”
Anante Abna'a Joapuna asamino, Nehazaveramina hanunke'za zamazankno ha' hanaze huno higeno Joapu'a ana kerera, knarere huno hu'ne.
15 So twelve men from the tribe of Benjamin fought for Ishbosheth, against twelve of David’s soldiers.
Higeno 12fu'a vahera Benzameni nagapinti vahe Soli nemofo Is-boseti kaziga huhamprintageno, Deviti sondia vahepintira 12fu'a vahe huhampri zamante'naze.
16 Each of them grabbed the head of the man against whom he was fighting, and thrust his sword into that man’s side. The result was that all 24 of them fell down dead. So that area in Gibeon is now called ‘Field of Swords’.
Hagi ana'ma hutage'za ana vahe'mo'za zamazeri zamente hute'za, ha'hu'za bainati kazinteti zamasoparega orefri are fri hu'za tarega kaziga vahe'mo'za ufrinte efrinte maka'mo'za hu'naze. Ana hu'nagu e'i ana Gibioni kumakura, bainati kumare hu'za nehaze.
17 Then [the others started to fight]. It was a very fierce battle. Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s soldiers.
Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra higeno, Deviti sondia vahe'ene, Abna sondia vahe enena ra ha nehazageno, Deviti naga'mo'za ana hara huzamagatere'naze.
18 Zeruiah’s three sons were there [on that day]: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was able to run very fast; he could run as fast as a wild gazelle/antelope.
Hagi ana hapina 3'a Jeruia mofavrezaga, Joapuki, Abisaiki, Asaheliki hu'za Deviti sondia vahera mani'naze. Hagi Asaheli'a dia afukna hu'neankino, agamareno vaniana ame huno vugahie.
19 Asahel started to pursue Abner. He ran straight toward Abner, without stopping.
Ana hu'negu Asaheli'a keganti kegama osu Abnana rotago huno nevigeno,
20 Abner looked behind him, and said “Is that you, Asahel?” Asahel replied, “Yes!”
Abna'a freno nevifinti rukrehe huno, Kagra Asaheligo? Higeno agra kenona huno, Izo nagre.
21 Abner yelled at him, “Turn to one side or the other, [and pursue someone else]!” But Asahel would not stop pursuing Abner.
Higeno Abna'a anage huno asami'ne, Rukrahe hunka mago'a sondia vahe zamahenka ha'zazmia erio, hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ananke'a ontahi rotago huno vu'ne.
22 So Abner yelled at him again, “Stop (chasing after/pursuing) me! (Why should I kill you?/It would not be good for me to kill you!) [RHQ] If I did that, (how could I (face/be reconciled with) your brother Joab?/it would be very difficult for me to (face/be reconciled with) your brother Joab.) [RHQ]”
Ana higeno Abna'a Asahelina asamino, Narotogoa osunka natrenka vuo. Hagi anama osanankena kagri'ma kahezankura navesra hie. Hagi kagri'ma kahesu'na nankna hu'na negafu Joapu avurera vugahue?
23 But Asahel refused to stop pursuing Abner. So Abner [suddenly turned and] thrust the butt end of his spear into Asahel’s stomach. Because he thrust it very strongly, that end of the spear [went though Asahel’s body and] came out at his back, and he fell to the ground, dead. All the other soldiers who came to the place where his body was lying stopped and stood there, [stunned].
Hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ana ke'a ontahino, rotago huno vigeno Abna'a krugru keve'areti regeno amagenafinti uhanatigeno, anante frino traka hu'nege'za maka sondia vahe'mo'zama anante'ma ne-eza eme oti'naze.
24 But Joab and Abishai continued to pursue Abner. At sunset they came to Ammah Hill, which is east of Giah, along the road to the desert near Gibeon.
Hianagi anama hige'nea Joapuke Abisaikea zagema ufre'zama nehigekea Abnana rotago huke, Gia tavaonte Amae nehaza agonare zage hanati kaziga Gibeoni ka'ma kokantega vu'nea kante e'na'e.
25 The men from the tribe of Benjamin gathered around Abner in one group, and stood at the top of a hill.
Anante Benzameni nagapinti vahe'mo'za omeri atru hu'za eri mago hute'za, Abna amagenare hu'za mago agonare ha' hunaku oti'naze.
26 Then Abner called out to Joab, saying “Are we going to continue to fight forever [RHQ]? Do you not realize that [if we continue fighting], the result will be very bad [RHQ]? We are all descendants of Jacob. [So we should stop fighting each other] (How long will it be until you tell your soldiers to stop pursuing us?/Tell your soldiers to stop pursuing us.)” [RHQ]
Hagi Abna'a Joapuna ke'zanke humino, tagra amanara huta hara huvava huta vugahupi? Henka ra knazampima ufresuna zankura kenka antahinkara nosampi? Hagi nankna zupa sondia vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za zamafuhe'ima zamarotagoma nehaza zana atregahaze?
27 Joab replied, “Just as surely as God lives, if you had not said that, my soldiers would have continued pursuing your men until tomorrow morning!”
Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Tamage mani'nea Anumzamofo avufi kasamuanki, kagra e'inahu kea osantesina nagri vahe'mo'za tamarotago huvava hu'za nevazageno masa hisine.
28 So Joab blew a trumpet [to signal that they should stop fighting]. So all his men did that. They did not pursue the soldiers of Israel any more, and they stopped fighting.
Hagi anante Joapu'a ufe rege'za zamarotagoma nehaza vahe'mo'za umani'za, mago'ane hara osu'naze.
29 That night Abner and his soldiers went through the Jordan [River] Valley. They crossed the Jordan [River] and marched all the next morning, and they finally arrived at Mahanaim.
Hagi ana kenageke Abna'a sondia vahe'ane Araba vu'za Jodani agupofi vute'za, ti rakahe'za Bitroni vute'za, Mahanaim uhanati'naze.
30 Joab [and his soldiers] stopped pursuing Abner. And when he gathered all his soldiers together, he found out that in addition to Asahel, only 19 of them had been killed in the battle.
Hagi Joapu'ma Abnama rotagoma nehiretira atreno, vuno sondia vahetamina ome zamazeri atru huno keana, Asaheli'ene 19ni'a Deviti sondia vahera omani'nazageno ke'ne.
31 But David’s soldiers had killed 360 of Abner’s men, all from the tribe of Benjamin.
Hianagi Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za, Abna sondia vahe'ma Benzameni naga'ma e'nazana 360'a vahe zamahe'naze.
32 [Some of Joab’s soldiers] took Asahel’s body and buried it in the tomb where his father had been buried, in Bethlehem. Then they marched all during the night, and at dawn they arrived [back home] at Hebron.
Hagi Abna'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Asaheli avufga eri'za nefama asente'naza havegampi Betlehemu ome asente'naze. Ana hute'za Joapu'ene agranema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke eva eva hu'za, Hebroni ehanatizageno kora eme atumasa hu'ne.
