2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul are going on and [are] weak.
Ary naharitra ela ny adin’ ny tamingan’ i Saoly sy ny tamingan’ i Davida, nefa Davida nihahery, fa ny tamingan’ i Saoly kosa nihahosa.
2 And there are born to David sons in Hebron, and his first-born is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
Ary Davida niteraka zazalahy tao Hebrona: koa Amnona, tamin’ i Ahinoama Jezirelita, no lahimatoany;
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
ary Kileaba, tamin’ i Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita, no lahiaivo; ary ny fahatelo dia Absaloma, zanak’ i Maka, zanakavavin’ i Talmay, mpanjakan’ i Gesora;
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
ary ny fahefatra dia Adonia, zanak’ i Hagita; ary ny fahadimy dia Sefatia, zanak’ i Abitala;
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
ary ny fahenina dia Jitreama, tamin’ i Egla, vadin’ i Davida. Ireo no naterak’ i Davida tao Hebrona.
6 And it cometh to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner hath been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
Ary raha mbola niady ny tamingan’ i Davida sy ny tamingan’ i Saoly, Abnera dia nampiseho hery niandany tamin’ ny tamingan’ i Saoly.
7 and Saul hath a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] saith unto Abner, 'Wherefore hast thou gone in unto the concubine of my father?'
(Ary Saoly nanana vaditsindrano, Rizpa no anarany, zanakavavin’ i Aia) Kanefa Isboseta niteny tamin’ i Abnera hoe: Nahoana no nalainao ny vaditsindranon’ ikaky?
8 And it is displeasing to Abner exceedingly, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he saith, 'The head of a dog [am] I — that in reference to Judah to-day I do kindness with the house of Saul thy father, unto his brethren, and unto his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David — that thou chargest against me iniquity concerning the woman to-day?
Dia tezitra mafy Abnera noho ny tenin’ Isboseta, ka hoy izy: Lohan’ alika no miandany amin’ ny Joda va aho? He! izato izaho manisy soa ny tamingan’ i Saoly rainao sy ny rahalahiny sy ny sakaizany izao ka tsy nanolotra anao ho eo an-tànan’ i Davida, nefa aho izao helohinao noho ny amin’ iny vehivavy iny?
9 thus doth God to Abner, and thus He doth add to him, surely as Jehovah hath sworn to David — surely so I do to him:
Hataon’ Andriamanitra amin’ i Abnera anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hataoko aminy araka ny nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida,
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba.'
ka hampiala ny fanjakana amin’ ny tamingan’ i Saoly aho ary hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida amin’ ny Isiraely sy amin’ ny Joda hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba.
11 And he is not able any more to turn back Abner a word, because of his fearing him.
Dia tsy nahavaly an’ i Abnera intsony izy noho ny tahony azy.
12 And Abner sendeth messengers unto David for himself, saying, 'Whose [is] the land?' saying, 'Make thy covenant with me, and lo, my hand [is] with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.'
Ary Abnera dia naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida niaraka tamin’ izay hanao hoe: An’ iza ny tany? Ary koa hoe: Manaova fanekena amiko, ary, indro, ny tanako homba anao hampanaiky ny Isiraely rehetra anao.
13 And he saith, 'Good — I make with thee a covenant; only, one thing I am asking of thee, that is, Thou dost not see my face, except thou dost first bring in Michal, daughter of Saul in thy coming into see my face.'
Dia hoy izy: Tsara izany; izaho hanao fanekena aminao; kanefa zavatra iray loha no ilaiko aminao: Tsy hahazo mihaona amiko ianao, raha tsy entinao atỳ Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly.
14 And David sendeth messengers unto Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, 'Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.'
Ary Davida naniraka olona nankany amin’ Isboseta, zanakalahin’ i Saoly, hanao hoe: Omeo ahy Mikala vadiko, izay efa nifanekena ho vadiko tamin’ ny mariky ny fahafatesan’ ny Filistina zato lahy.
15 And Ish-Bosheth sendeth, and taketh her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
Ary Isboseta naniraka naka an’ i Mikala tany amin’ i Paltiela vadiny, zanak’ i Laisy.
16 and her husband goeth with her, going on and weeping behind her, unto Bahurim, and Abner saith unto him, 'Go, turn back;' and he turneth back.
Ary io vadiny io nanaraka azy ka nitomany teny aoriany hatrany Bahorima. Fa hoy Abnera taminy: Mandehana miverina. Dia niverina izy.
17 And the word of Abner was with the elders of Israel, saying, 'Heretofore ye have been seeking David for king over you,
Ary Abnera efa niteny tamin’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely hoe: Efa ela izay no nitadiavanareo an’ i Davida ho mpanjakanareo;
18 and now, do [it], for Jehovah hath spoken of David saying, By the hand of David my servant — to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'
koa tanteraho izany ankehitriny, fa Jehovah efa nilaza an’ i Davida hoe: Amin’ ny tànan’ i Davida mpanompoko no hamonjeko ny Isiraely oloko ho afaka amin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina sy amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra.
19 And Abner speaketh also in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner goeth also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
Ary Abnera efa niteny tamin’ ny Benjamita koa, ary lasa izy hilaza amin’ i Davida ao Hebrona koa izay rehetra tian’ ny Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Benjamina rehetra hatao.
20 and Abner cometh in unto David, to Hebron, and with him twenty men, and David maketh for Abner, and for the men who [are] with him, a banquet.
Dia tonga tany amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona Abnera sy olona roa-polo lahy nanaraka azy. Ary nanao fanasana ho an’ i Abnera sy ny olona nanaraka azy Davida.
21 And Abner saith unto David, 'I arise, and go, and gather unto my lord the king the whole of Israel, and they make with thee a covenant, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth;' and David sendeth away Abner, and he goeth in peace.
Ary hoy Abnera tamin’ i Davida: Hiainga aho, dia handeha hamory ny Isiraely rehetra ho etỳ aminao mpanjaka tompoko, mba hanaovany fanekena aminao ary hanjakanao amin’ izay rehetra irin’ ny fonao. Ary Davida nampandeha an’ i Abnera; ka dia lasa soa aman-tsara izy.
22 And lo, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and much spoil have brought with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he hath sent him away, and he goeth in peace;
Ary, indreo, tonga ny mpanaraka an’ i Davida sy Joaba avy nitoha ka nitondra babo be; ary efa tsy teo amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona intsony Abnera, fa efa nalefany izy, ka dia lasa soa aman-tsara.
23 and Joab and all the host that [is] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, 'Abner son of Ner hath come unto the king, and he sendeth him away, and he goeth in peace.'
Nony tonga Joaba sy ny miaramila rehetra izay nanaraka azy, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Joaba hoe: Tonga tao amin’ ny mpanjaka Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, nefa nalefany izy, ka dia lasa soa aman-tsara.
24 And Joab cometh unto the king, and saith, 'What hast thou done? lo, Abner hath come unto thee! why [is] this — thou hast sent him away, and he is really gone?
Ary Joaba nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Inona izany nataonao izany? Nahoana no efa tonga teto aminao Abnera ka nalefanao fotsiny, ka dia afaka soa aman-tsara izy?
25 Thou hast known Abner son of Ner, that to deceive thee he came, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.'
Fantatrao anefa ny amin’ i Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, fa hamitaka anao no nahatongavany hahalalany ny ivoahanao sy ny idiranao ary hahalalany izay rehetra ataonao.
26 And Joab goeth out from David, and sendeth messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David knew not.
Dia nivoaka Joaba avy tao amin’ i Davida ka naniraka olona hanaraka an’ i Abnera, ary nitondra azy niverina avy any amin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano atao hoe Siraha ireo: nefa tsy fantatr’ i Davida izany.
27 And Abner turneth back to Hebron, and Joab turneth him aside unto the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smiteth him there in the fifth [rib] — and he dieth — for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Ary nony niverina tao Hebrona Abnera, dia nentin’ i Joaba nitanila tao anaty vavahady hiresaka aminy mangingina, kanjo nasiany tamin’ ny kibony ka matiny ho todin’ ny ran’ i Asahela rahalahiny.
28 And David heareth afterwards and saith, 'Acquitted [am] I, and my kingdom, by Jehovah, unto the age, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nahare Davida, ka hoy izy: Tsy manan-keloka mandrakizay eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izaho sy ny fanjakako ny amin’ ny ran’ i Abnera, zanak’ i Nera.
29 it doth stay on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one having an issue, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.'
Hitsingerina amin’ ny lohan’ i Joaba sy ny tarana-drainy rehetra anie ny todin’ izany; ary tsy ho tapaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Joaba anie ny marary mitsika, na ny boka, na ny mamahana amin’ ny tehina, na ny lavon-tsabatra, na ny tsy manan-kohanina.
30 And Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because that he put to death Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in battle.
Toy izany no namonoan’ i Joaba sy Abisay rahalahiny an’ i Abnera noho ny namonoany an’ i Asahela rahalahiny tao Gibeona tamin’ ny ady.
31 And David saith unto Joab, and unto all the people who [are] with him, 'Rend your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner;' and king David is going after the bier.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Joaba sy ny olona rehetra izay teo aminy: Triaro ny fitafianareo, ary misikìna lamba fisaonana, ka aoka hisaona eo anolohan’ i Abnera ianareo. Ary Davida mpanjaka nanaraka ny tranovorona.
32 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifteth up his voice, and weepeth at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
Dia nandevina an’ i Abnera tao Hebrona izy; ary ny mpanjaka nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany teo amin’ ny fasan’ i Abnera; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia mba nitomany koa.
33 and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: — 'As the death of a fool doth Abner die?
Ary ny mpanjaka nanao hira fisaonana an’ i Abnera hoe: Tahaka ny fahafatesan’ ny adala va no tokony ho nahafatesan’ i Abnera?
34 Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil — Thou hast fallen!' and all the people add to weep over him.
Ny tananao tsy nifatotra, ary ny tongotrao tsy nigadra; Fa tahaka ny fikarapok’ izay asian’ ny olon-dratsy no nikarapohanao. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia mbola nitomany azy indray.
35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David sweareth, saying, 'Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add, for — before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.'
Ary izy rehetra dia avy hampihinan-kanina an’ i Davida raha mbola antoandro, nefa Davida nianiana hoe: Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha mba hitendry hanina na inona na inona akory aho mandra-pilentiky ny masoandro.
36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes of all the people;
Ary azon’ ny vahoaka rehetra ny hevitr’ izany ka nankasitrahany, dia tahaka ny nankasitrahany izay rehetra nataon’ ny mpanjaka.
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it hath not been from the king — to put to death Abner son of Ner.
Ka dia fantatry ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny Isiraely rehetra tamin’ izany andro izany fa tsy avy tamin’ ny mpanjaka no nahafaty an’ i Abnera, zanak’ i Nera.
38 And the king saith unto his servants, 'Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel?
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpanompony: Tsy fantatrareo va fa komandy sady lehilahy malaza no maty androany tamin’ ny Isiraely?
39 and I to-day [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.'
Ary tsy mbola manan-kery loatra aho izao, na dia mpanjaka efa voahosotra aza; ary ireo zanak’ i Zeroia ireo dia mahery sata loatra amiko; Jehovah anie hamaly izay nanao izao ratsy izao araka ny ratsy nataony.
