2 Samuel 2
1 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that David asketh at Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?' and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go up.' And David saith, 'Whither do I go up?' and He saith, 'To Hebron.'
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Davida dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Hiakatra ho any amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda anankiray va aho? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara. Ary hoy Davida: Any aninona no hiakarako? Dia hoy Izy: Any Hebrona.
2 And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
Dia niakatra nankany Davida mbamin’ ny vadiny roa, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita.
3 and his men who [are] with him hath David brought up — a man and his household — and they dwell in the cities of Hebron.
Ary ny olona izay tao amin’ i Davida mbamin’ ny ankohonan’ ireo dia samy nentiny niakatra koa, ka nonina tao amin’ ny tanàna momba an’ i Hebrona izy ireo.
4 And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, 'The men of Jabesh-Gilead [are] they who buried Saul.'
Ary dia avy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda ka nanosotra an’ i Davida tao mba ho mpanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda. Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Ny olona any Jabesi-gileada no nandevina an’ i Saoly.
5 And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and saith unto them, 'Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, in that ye have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury him.
Ary Davida dia naniraka olona hankany amin’ ny mponina any Jabesi-gileada hanao aminy hoe: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo noho ny soa nataonareo tamin’ i Saoly tomponareo tamin’ ny nandevenanareo azy.
6 'And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing;
Koa haneho famindram-po sy fahamarinana aminareo anie Jehovah, sady izaho koa efa manao izao soa izao aminareo noho ny nanaovanareo izany zavatra izany.
7 and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. [is] dead, and also — me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
Ary ankehitriny, aoka hampaherezina anie ny tananareo, ary aoka hatanjaka ianareo; fa maty Saoly tomponareo, ary izaho no nohosoran’ ny firenen’ i Joda ho mpanjakany.
8 And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul hath, hath taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causeth him to pass over to Mahanaim,
Fa Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Saoly, efa naka an’ Isboseta, zanakalahin’ i Saoly, ka nitondra azy nankany Mahanaima,
9 and causeth him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over Israel — all of it.
dia nampanjaka azy tamin’ i Gileada sy ny Asorita sy Jezirela sy ny Efraima sy ny Benjamina ary ny Isiraely rehetra.
10 A son of forty years, [is] Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, in his reigning over Israel, and two years he hath reigned, only the house of Judah have been after David.
(Ary efa-polo taona no nahaveloman’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, fony izy vao nanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely, ary roa taona no nanjakany.) Fa ny firenen’ i Joda nomba an’ i Davida.
11 And the number of the days that David hath been king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, is seven years and six months.
Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Davida tao Hebrona tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia fito taona sy enim-bolana.
12 And Abner son of Ner goeth out, and servants of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Ary Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, sy ny mpanompon’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, niala tao Mahanaima ka nankany Gibeona.
13 And Joab son of Zeruiah, and servants of David, have gone out, and they meet by the pool of Gibeon together, and sit down, these by the pool on this [side], and these by the pool on that.
Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, sy ny mpanompon’ i Davida nivoaka ka nihaona tamin’ ireo teo amoron’ ny kamory tao Gibeona; ary samy nipetraka teo amin’ ny lafin’ ny kamory avy izy.
14 And Abner saith unto Joab, 'Let the youths rise, I pray thee, and they play before us;' and Joab saith, 'Let them rise.'
Ary hoy Abnera tamin’ i Joaba: Masìna ianao, aoka hitsangana ny zatovo hanao kilalao eto anatrehantsika. Ary hoy Joaba; Aoka ary izy hitsangana.
15 And they rise and pass over, in number twelve of Benjamin, even of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Dia nisy nitsangana ka nita, dia roa ambin’ ny folo lahy tamin’ ny Benjamina, izay an’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly, ary roa ambin’ ny folo lahy koa tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Davida.
16 And they lay hold, each on the head of his companion, and his sword [is] in the side of his companion, and they fall together, and [one] calleth that place Helkath-Hazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon,
Ary izy rehetra samy nifanavika nifampihazon-doha ka nifandefon-tehezana tamin’ ny sabatra, dia niara-nikarapoka; koa izany no nanaovana izany fitoerana ao Gibeona izany hoe Helkata-hazorima.
17 and the battle is very hard on that day, and Abner is smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary dia resy teo anoloan’ ny mpanompon’ i Davida Abnera sy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
18 And there are there three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, and Asahel [is] light on his feet, as one of the roes which [are] in the field,
Ary mba teo koa izy telo lahy zanak’ i Zeroia, dia Joaba sy Abisay ary Asahela; ary Asahela dia haingan-tongotra tahaka ny gazela any an-efitra.
19 And Asahel pursueth after Abner, and hath not turned aside to go to the right or to the left, from after Abner.
Ary Asahela nanenjika an’ i Abnera, ka ny fandehany nanenjika an’ i Abnera dia tsy nivily akory na tamin’ ny ankavanana na tamin’ ny ankavia.
20 And Abner looketh behind him, and saith, 'Art thou he — Asahel?' and he saith, 'I [am].'
Ary Abnera niherika ka nanao hoe: Hianao moa izany, no Asahela? Dia hoy izy: Izaho ity.
21 And Abner saith to him, 'Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and seize for thee one of the youths, and take to thee his armour;' and Asahel hath not been willing to turn aside from after him.
Dia hoy Abnera taminy: Mivilia ianao, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, ary zatovo anankiray no sambory, ka baboy ho anao izay eny aminy rehetra. Fa Asahela tsy nety nivily, fa nanenjika azy ihany.
22 And Abner addeth again, saying unto Asahel, 'Turn thee aside from after me, why do I smite thee to the earth? and how do I lift up my face unto Joab thy brother?'
Ary hoy indray Abnera tamin’ i Asahela: Mivilia ianao, fa aza manenjika ahy; fa hataoko inona moa izay hamely anao hikarapoka amin’ ny tany, ary hataoko ahoana no fijery an’ i Joaba rahalahinao?
23 And he refuseth to turn aside, and Abner smiteth him with the hinder part of the spear unto the fifth [rib], and the spear cometh out from behind him, and he falleth there, and dieth under it; and it cometh to pass, every one who hath come unto the place where Asahel hath fallen and dieth — they stand still.
Nefa tsy nety nivily ihany izy, ka dia nasian’ i Abnera ny antsedefona ny kibony, ka dia niboroaka teo an-damosiny ny lefona, ary nikarapoka teo izy ka maty niaraka tamin’ izay. Ary izay rehetra tonga teo amin’ ilay nikarapohan’ i Asahela sy nahafatesany dia nijanona.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursue after Abner, and the sun hath gone in, and they have come in unto the height of Ammah, which [is] on the front of Giah, the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Ary Joaba sy Abisay dia nanenjika an’ i Abnera; ka nony tonga teo amin’ ny havoana Ama izy, izay tandrifin’ i Gia amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny efitr’ i Gibeona, dia maty ny masoandro.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together after Abner, and become one troop, and stand on the top of a certain height,
Ary ny taranak’ i Benjamina niangona teo amin’ i Abnera ka nifoko ho iray toko ary nijanona teo an-tampon’ ny havoana anankiray.
26 and Abner calleth unto Joab, and saith, 'For ever doth the sword consume? hast thou not known that it is bitterness in the latter end? and till when dost thou not say to the people to turn back from after their brethren?'
Ary Abnera niantso an’ i Joaba hoe: Handany mandrakizay va ny sabatra? Tsy fantatrao va fa hangidy ny hiafaran’ izany? Koa mandra-pahoviana no tsy hampivereninao ny olona tsy hanenjika ny rahalahiny?
27 And Joab saith, 'God liveth! for unless thou hadst spoken, surely then from the morning had the people gone up each from after his brother.'
Ary hoy Joaba: Raha velona koa Andriamanitra, raha tsy ilay teninao, dia efa lasa nody any naraina avokoa ny olona ka tsy nanenjika ny rahalahiny akory.
28 And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and all the people stand still, and pursue no more after Israel, nor have they added any more to fight.
Dia nitsoka ny anjomara Joaba, ka dia nijanona ny olona rehetra, ary tsy nanenjika ny Isiraely intsony na niady taminy intsony izy.
29 And Abner and his men have gone through the plain all that night, and pass over the Jordan, and go on [through] all Bithron, and come in to Mahanaim.
Ary Abnera sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina namaky ny tani-hay, dia nita an’ i Jordana sy namaky an’ i Bitrona rehetra, ka dia tonga tao Mahanaima izy.
30 And Joab hath turned back from after Abner, and gathereth all the people, and there are lacking of the servants of David nineteen men, and Asahel;
Ary rehefa niverina Joaba avy nanenjika an’ i Abnera, dia novoriny ny olona rehetra, ary sivy ambin’ ny folo lahy ihany mbamin’ i Asahela no tsy teo ny mpanompon’ i Davida.
31 and the servants of David have smitten of Benjamin, even among the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men — they died.
Fa ny mpanompon’ i Davida efa nahafaty enim-polo sy telon-jato lahy tamin’ ny Benjamita sy ny olon’ i Abnera.
32 And they lift up Asahel, and bury him in the burying-place of his father, which [is] in Beth-Lehem, and they go all the night — Joab and his men — and it is light to them in Hebron.
Ary Asahela dia nentiny ka naleviny tao amin’ ny fasan-drainy, izay tao Betlehema. Ary Joaba sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina, dia tonga tao Hebrona raha vao nazava ratsy ny andro.
