2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 'Let me choose, I pray thee, twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David to-night,
Ary hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Aoka aho hifantina lehilahy roa arivo amby iray alina ka hiainga hanenjika an’ i Davida anio alina;
2 and come upon him, and he weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people have fled who [are] with him, and I have smitten the king by himself,
ary ho tonga ao aminy aho amin’ ilay izy mbola sasatra sy reraka iny, ka dia hotairiko; dia handositra ny vahoaka rehetra izay any aminy, ary ny mpanjaka ihany no hasiako;
3 and I bring back all the people unto thee — as the turning back of the whole [is] the man whom thou art seeking — all the people are peace.
dia haveriko ho etỳ aminao ny vahoaka rehetra miankina amin’ io lehilahy tadiavinareo io ny hiverenan’ ny vahoaka rehetra, ka dia hiadana ny olona rehetra.
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Ary sitrak’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany.
5 And Absalom saith, 'Call, I pray thee, also for Hushai the Archite, and we hear what [is] in his mouth — even he.'
Kanefa hoy Absaloma: Mba antsoy kosa Hosay Arkita, ary aoka ho rentsika koa izay teniny.
6 And Hushai cometh in unto Absalom, and Absalom speaketh unto him, saying, 'According to this word hath Ahithophel spoken; do we do his word? if not, thou — speak thou.'
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Absaloma Hosay dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Izao no hevitr’ i Ahitofela; ka hanao araka ny teniny va isika? Sa ahoana kosa no hevitrao?
7 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Not good [is] the counsel that Ahithophel hath counselled at this time.'
Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsy mety ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela tamin’ ity.
8 And Hushai saith, 'Thou hast known thy father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and thy father [is] a man of war, and doth not lodge with the people;
Ary hoy kosa Hosay: Hianao mahalala ny rainao sy ny olony, fa olona mahery izy sady masiaka tahaka ny bera very anaka any an-tsaha; ary lehilahy mpiady rainao ka tsy miara-mitoetra amin’ ny vahoaka raha alina.
9 lo, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it hath been, at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer hath heard, and said, There hath been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Fa, indro, miery any an-davaka anankiray izy izao, na ao amin’ ny fitoerana hafa; ka raha misy resiny amin’ ny voalohany, izay mandre izany dia hanao hoe: Nahafatesana ny olona manaraka an’ i Absaloma,
10 and he also, the son of valour, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour [are] those with him.
ary na dia izay mahery ka manana fo tahaka ny fon’ ny liona aza dia ho ketraka tokoa; fa fantatry ny Isiraely rehetra fa lehilahy mahery rainao, sady lehilahy mahery koa ireny manaraka azy ireny.
11 'So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going in the midst;
Koa izao kosa no mba hevitro: Aoka hovorina ho eto aminao avokoa ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba, toy ny fasika amoron-dranomasina no hamarony; ka dia ny tenanao no hankany an-tafika.
12 and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] upon him as the dew falleth on the ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Dia ho tonga ao aminy amin’ izay fitoerana anankiray hahitana azy isika, ka dia hilatsaka aminy toy ny filatsaky ny ando amin’ ny tany, ka tsy hasiantsika miangana na dia iray akory aza izy mbamin’ izay olona rehetra manaraka azy.
13 And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a stone.'
Fa raha miditra an-tanàna izy, dia hitondran’ ny Isiraely rehetra mahazaka izany tanàna izany, ka dia hotarihintsika ho any amin’ ny ony izany ambara-paha-tsy hisy na dia vato kely iray aza hita ao.
14 And Absalom saith — and all the men of Israel — 'Better [is] the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom the evil.
Ary hoy Absaloma sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely: Tsara noho ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela ny nataon’ i Hosay Arkita. Fa efa notendren’ i Jehovah ho foana ny sain-dalina nataon’ i Ahitofela, hampidiran’ i Jehovah loza amin’ i Absaloma.
15 And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, 'Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled;
Dia hoy Hosay tamin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona: Izany ka izany no hevitra nomen’ i Ahitofela an’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely; ary izao ka izao kosa no hevitra nomeko azy.
16 and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also, certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.'
Koa maniraha haingana izao, ary ambarao amin’ i Davida hoe: Aza mitoetra any amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra anio alina, fa mità faingana tokoa, fandrao ho levona na ny mpanjaka na ny olona rehetra any aminy.
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maid-servant hath gone and declared to them — and they go and have declared [it] to king David — for they are not able to be seen to go in to the city.
Ary Jonatana sy Ahimaza nitoetra tao En-rogela; fa tsy sahy niseho tao an-tanàna izy; ary nisy ankizivavy anankiray nivoivoy nanambara taminy; dia lasa nandeha nanambara tany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka kosa izy roa lahy.
18 And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down there,
Fa nisy zazalahy iray nahita azy ka nanambara tamin’ i Absaloma; nefa lasa faingana izy roa lahy ka tonga tao an-tranon’ olona tao Bahorima, izay nisy lavaka fantsakana tao an-tokotaniny, dia nidina tao izy roa lahy.
19 and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the thing hath not been known.
Ary nalain’ ny vadin-dralehilahy ny rakotra ka narakony teo am-bavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana, ary dia nanahy koba teo amboniny izy, ka tsy nisy nahalala.
20 And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the house, and say, 'Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the woman saith to them, 'They passed over the brook of water;' and they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem.
Ary nony tonga tao amin-dravehivavy tao an-trano ny mpanompon’ i Absaloma, dia nanao hoe: Aiza Ahimaza sy Jonatana teto? Fa hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tafita ny renirano kely izy izay. Ary nony efa nitady azy ireo ka tsy nahita, dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
21 And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and say unto David, 'Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
Ary nony efa lasa ireo, dia niakatra avy ao amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy roa lahy, ka lasa nandeha izy, dia nanambara tamin’ i Davida mpanjaka hoe: Miaingà, ka mità faingana ny rano; fa izany no hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela hamelezana anareo.
22 And David riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning, till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the Jordan.
Dia niainga Davida sy ny olona nanaraka, azy, ka nita an’ i Jordana izy; ary nony maraina ny andro, dia tsy tafita an’ i Jordana na dia olona iray aza.
23 And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
Ary nony hitan’ i Ahitofela fa narahina ny hevitra nataony, dia nasiany lasely ny borikiny, dia niainga izy dia nody tany an-tranony tany an-tanànany; ary nanafatra ny ankohonany izy, dia nanaton-tena, ka dia maty ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fasan-drainy.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Ary Davida tonga tao Mahanaima. Ary Absaloma nita an’ i Jordana, dia izy sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely izay nanaraka azy.
25 and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host, and Amasa [is] a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Ary Amasa no notendren’ i Absaloma ho komandin’ ny miaramilany ho solon’ i Joaba; ary Amasa dia zanak’ ilay Isiraelita atao hoe Jitra, ilay nandry tamin’ i Abigaila, zanakavavin’ i Nahasy sady rahavavin’ i Zeroia, renin’ i Joaba.
26 and Israel encampeth with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Absaloma nitoby tany amin’ ny tany Gileada.
27 And it cometh to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
Ary nony tonga tao Mahanaima Davida, dia, indreo, tamy Soby, zanak’ i Amona, sy Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, avy any Lo-debara, ary Barzilay Gileadita, avy any Rogelima,
28 couch, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
Avy mitondra fandriana sy bakoly sy vilany tany sy vary hordea sy koba sy lango sy tsaramaso sy voanemba ary voanemba voaendy
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, have brought nigh for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, 'Thy people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
sy tantely sy rononomandry sy ondry ary zanak’ omby ho an’ i Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy; fa hoy izy: Noana sy sasatra ary mangetaheta atỳ an-efitra ny vahoaka.
