2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
Ary sendra nisy lehilahy iray tena ratsy fanahy teo, Seba no anarany, zanak’ i Bikry Benjamita; ary nitsoka ny anjomara izy sady niantso hoe: Isika tsy manana anjara amin’ i Davida na lova amin’ ny zanak’ i Jese; samia mody any amin’ ny lainy avy, ry Isiraely ô.
2 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Ka dia samy niara-nandao an’ i Davida ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely ka nanaraka an’ i Seba, zanak’ i Bikry; fa ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda no nifikitra tamin’ ny mpanjakany hatrany Jordana ka hatrany Jerosalema.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
Ary nony tonga tao an-tranony tany Jerosalema Davida mpanjaka, dia nalainy ny vaditsindranony folo vavy izay navelany hiandry trano tao, ka nataony tao an-trano fiambenana ary nomeny fivelomana, fa tsy nandriany intsony. Ka dia nambenana tao mandra-pahafatiny ireo ka velona tsy nanam-bady intsony.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Amasa: Vorio ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda ho eto amiko amin’ ny hateloana, ary aoka mba ho eto koa ny tenanao.
5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
Ary dia lasa Arnasa namory ny Joda, fa nandiso ny fotoan’ andro nomeny azy izy.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abisay: Ankehitriny izao dia Seba, zanak’ i Bikry no ahitantsika loza mihoatra noho Absaloma; koa ento ny mpanomponao ny tomponao, ka enjeho izy, fandrao mahazo tanàna mimanda ka tsy ho azontsika.
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Ary dia nivoaka hanenjika azy ny olon’ i Joaba sy ny miaramila mpiambina andriana ary ny lehilahy mahery rehetra; dia nivoaka avy tany Jerosalema ireo hanenjika an’ i Seba, zanak’ i Bikry.
8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
Fa nony tonga tao amin’ ilay vato lehibe tao Gibeona izy, dia avy Amasa nitsena azy; ary ny akanjo fiadian’ i Joaba, ilay niakanjoany, dia nofehezina taminy, ary teo amboniny teo am-balahany no nisy ny fehin-tsabany ambamin’ ny tranony; ary nony nandeha izy, dia latsaka ny sabatra.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
Ary hoy Joaba tamin’ i Amasa: Tsara ihany va ianao, ry rahalahy? Dia noraisin’ i Joaba tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana ny somotr’ i Amasa horohany.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Fa Amasa tsy nanahinahy ny sabatra teny an-tànan’ i Joaba, kanjo nasiany tamin’ ny kibony izy, ka dia nivaroraka tamin’ ny tany ny tsinainy, ary tsy nasiany intsony, fa matiny tamin’ izay. Ary Joaba sy Abisay rahalahiny nanenjika an’ i Seba, zanak’ i Bikry.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.
Ary ny zatovon’ i Joaba anankiray nijanona teo anilan’ ny faty ka nanao hoe: Izay miandany amin’ i Joaba sy Davida dia aoka hanaraka an’ i Joaba.
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
Ary Amasa nihosin-drà teo anaty lalambe. Ary raha hitan-dralehilahy fa nijanona ny olona rehetra, dia nafindrany niala teo amin’ ny lalambe ho any an-tsaha ny fatin’ i Amasa ka nosaronany lamba, nony hitany fa nijanona izay rehetra mandalo azy.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Ary nony nafindrany niala teo amin’ ny lalambe izy, dia nizotra nanaraka an’ i Joaba ny olona rehetra hanenjika an’ i Seba, zanak’ i Bikry.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after him.
Ary izy nandeha namaky ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hatrany Abela sy Beti-maka sy ny an’ ny Berita rehetra; ary nivory ireo, ka dia mba lasa nanaraka azy.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Ary dia tonga izy ka nanao fahirano azy teo Abela sy Beti-maka, ary nanandratra tovon-tany tandrifin’ ny tanàna izy, ka teo ivelany manolotra ny manda no nitoerany; ary ny olona izay nomba an’ i Joaba dia namely nandrava ny manda.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
Ary nisy vehivavy hendry tao an-tanàna niantso hoe: Mihainoa, mihainoa e; masìna ianareo, lazao amin’ i Joaba hoe: Mankanesa erỳ aminy, hono, ianao, fa misy holazainy aminao.
17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
Ary nony efa mby tao akaiky izy, dia hoy ravehivavy: Hianao va no Joaba? Dia hoy izy: Eny, izaho no izy. Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Mihainoa ny teniko mpanompovavinao. Dia hoy izy: Mihaino aho izao.
18 Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They will surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
Ary hoy ravehivavy: Izao no fitenin’ ny olona taloha: Aoka hanadina ao Abela izy; koa araka izany ny nahavitany raharaha.
19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
Izaho dia isan’ ny tia fihavanana sady olona mahatoky eto amin’ ny Isiraely; fa ianao kosa mitady handrava renivohitra eto amin’ ny. Isiraely, koa ahoana no hamongoranao ny lovan’ i Jehovah?
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Ary Joaba namaly hoe: Sanatria dia sanatria amiko izay handripaka sy handringana.
21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
Tsy izany tsy akory; fa misy lehilahy avy amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, Seba no anarany, zanak’ i Bikry, izay efa nanainga tanana hikomy amin’ i Davida mpanjaka; koa izy ihany no atolory ahy, dia hiala amin’ ny tanàna aho. Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Joaba: Indro, ny lohany atsipy eny aminao eny ankoatry ny manda.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
Dia lasa nanatona ny olona rehetra tamin’ ny fahendreny ravehivavy. Dia notapahin’ ireo ny lohan’ i Seba, zanak’ i Bikry, ka natsipiny teny amin’ i Joaba. Ary Joaba nitsoka ny anjomara, ka dia niala tamin’ ny tanàna ny olona samy ho any amin’ ny lainy avy. Ary Joaba niverina nankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka.
23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
Ary Joaba no komandin’ ny miaramila rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely; ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no mpifehy ny miaramila mpiambina andriana;
24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
ary Adorama no komandin’ ny mpanao fanompoana; ary Josafata, zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana;
25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
ary Seva no mpanoratra; ary Zadoka sy Abiatara no mpisorona;
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
ary Ira Jairita kosa no mpanolo-tsaina an’ i Davida.
