II Samuel 14

1 Ita, naawatan ni Joab a putot a lalaki ni Zeyuras ti tarigagay ti puso ti ari a makakita kenni Absalom.

And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was toward Abessalom.

2 Isu a nangibilin ni Joab idiay Tekoa iti sao nga adda maiyeg kenkuana a maysa a nasirib a babai. Kinunana iti babai, “Pangngaasim ta agpammarangka a kas agladladingit ken agpaneska. Pangngaasim ta saanmo a pulotan ta bagbagim iti lana, ngem ketdi kas iti babai a nabayagen nga agladladingit gapu iti minatayna.

And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray thee, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint thee not with oil, and thou shalt be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.

3 Ket mapanka iti ayan ti ari ket ibagam kenkuana dagiti ibagak.” Imbaga ngarud ni Joab kenkuana dagiti sasao nga ibagana iti ari.

And thou shalt go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.

4 Idi napan nakisarita iti ari ti nasirib a babai a naggapu idiay Tekoa, nagpakleb isuna iti daga ket kinunana, “Apo ari tulongannak.”

So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.

5 Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Ania ti napasamak?” Simmungbat ti babai, “Ti kinapudnona ket maysaak a balo, ken natayen ti asawak.

And the king said to her, What is the matter with thee? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.

6 Siak, nga adipenmo ken addaan iti dua nga annak a lallaki, ket nagapada a dua idiay talon ken awan ti nanganawa kadakuada. Pinang-or ti maysa ti maysa ket napapatayna.

And moreover thy handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one smote the other his brother, and slew him.

7 Ket ita, sangsangkamaysa a bimmusor kaniak nga adipenmo ti sibubukel a puli, ket kinunada, ''Ipaimayo kadakami ti anak a nangpang-or iti kabsatna, tapno papatayenmi isuna, a kasukat ti biag ti kabsatna a pinatayna.' Ket dadaelenda uray pay ti agtawid. Iti kasta, pukawendanto ti nabatik a beggang, ket awan ibatida nga uray man laeng nagan wenno kaputotan ti asawak iti rabaw ti daga.”

And behold the whole family rose up against thine handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that smote his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.

8 Kinuna ngarud ti ari iti babai, Agawidka iti balaymo, ket mangibilinakto iti maysa a banag a maaramid a maipaay kenka.”

And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to thy house, and I will give commandment concerning thee.

9 Simmungbat iti ari ti babai a naggapu idiay Tekoa, “Apok nga ari, maadda koma kaniak ken iti pamilia ni amak ti pammabasol. Ta awan ti nagbiddutan ti ari ken iti tronona.”

And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house [be] the iniquity, and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.

10 Simmungbat ti ari, “Siasinoman nga agibaga iti aniaman kenka, iyegmo kaniak, ket saannakanton a sagiden.”

And the king said, Who was it that spoke to thee? thou shalt even bring him to me, and [one] shall not touch him any more.

11 Kinuna ngarud ti babai, “Pangngaasim, malagip koma ti ari ni Yahweh a Diosmo, tapno saanen a dadaelen ti tao nga agibales iti dara ti siasinoman pay, tapno saanda a papatayen ti anakko a lalaki.” Simmungbat ti ari, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, awan uray maysa a buok ti anakmo a lalaki ti matnagto iti daga.

And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, [As] the lord lives, not a hair of thy son shall fall to the ground.

12 Kinuna ngarud ti babai. Pangngaasim ta palubosam daytoy adipenmo nga agibaga pay iti apok nga ari.” Kinuna ti ari, “Agsaoka latta.”

And the woman said, Let now thy servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.

13 Ket kinuna ti babai, “Apay a nagaramidka iti maysa a banag a maibusor kadagiti tattao ti Dios? Ta ti panangibagbaga iti daytoy a banag, kasla maysa a tao ti ari a nagbiddut, gapu ta saan pay a pinagsubli ti ari ti nagtalaw nga anakna a lalaki iti pagtaenganna.

And the woman said, Why hast thou devised this thing against the people of God? or [is] this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?

14 Ta mataytayo amin ken maiyarig tayo iti danum a saanen a maurnong kalpasan a naibuyat iti daga. Ngem saan a pukawen ti Dios ti biag; ngem ketdi, mangbirok isuna iti wagas tapno pasublienna ti tao a pinapanawna manipud kenkuana.

For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.

15 Ita ngarud, makitkitam nga immayak a mangibaga iti daytoy a banag iti apok nga ari, gapu ta pinagbutengdak dagiti tattao. Isu a kinuna ti adipenmo iti bagina, 'Makisaritaak ita iti ari. Mabalin a ti ari ti mangaramid ti kiddaw ti adipenna.

And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, [the reason is] that the people will see me, and thy handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if peradventure the king will perform the request of his handmaid;

16 Ta dumngegto ti ari kaniak, tapno mawayawayaan ti adipenna manipud iti ima ti tao a mangdadael koma kadakami iti anakko a lalaki, manipud iti impatawid ti Dios.'

for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God.

17 Kalpasanna, nagkararag daytoy adipenmo, 'Yahweh, pangngaasim ta palubusam a mapalag-anannak koma ti sao ti apok nga ari, ta kas maysa nga anghel ti Dios, kasta met ti apok nga ari iti panangibagbagana iti naimbag manipud iti dakes.' Makikaadda koma kenka ni Yahweh a Diosmo.”

And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious, —[well]: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord thy God shall be with thee.

18 Simmungbat ngarud ti ari ket kinunana iti babai, “Pangngaasim ta saanmo nga ilibak kaniak ti aniaman a saludsudek kenka.” Simmungbat ti babai, “Agsao koma itan ti apok nga ari.”

And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the matter which I ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.

19 Kinuna ti ari, “Saan kadi a ti ima ni Joab ti kaduam iti daytoy?” Simmungbat ti babai ken kinunana, “Kas agbibiagka apok nga ari, awan ti makalibas iti kannawan nga ima wenno iti kannigid manipud kadagiti banbanag nga imbaga ti apok nga ari. Ni Joab nga adipenmo ti nangbilin ken nangibaga kaniak nga ibagak dagitoy a babanag nga naibaga daytoy adipenmo.

And the king said, [Is] not the hand of Joab in all this matter with thee? and the woman said to the king, [As] thy soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid.

20 Inaramid daytoy ti adipenmo a ni Joab tapno mabaliwanna ti mapaspasamak. Nasirib ti apok, kas iti kinasirib ti maysa nga anghel ti Dios, ket ammona amin a banbanag a mapaspasamak iti daga.”

In order that this form of speech might come about [it was] that thy servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as [is] the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

21 Isu nga imbaga ti ari kenni Joab, “Kitaem ita, aramidek daytoy a banag. Inka ngarud, ket isublim ditoy ti agtutubo a ni Absalom.”

And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to thee according to this thy word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.

22 Isu a nagpakleb iti daga ni Joab kas panangipakitana iti panagdayaw ken panagyamanna iti ari. Kinuna ni Joab, “Ita nga aldaw, ammo daytoy adipenmo a nakasarakak iti pabor iti imatangmo, apok nga ari, iti dayta, pinatgan ti ari ti kiddaw ti adipenna.”

And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.

23 Isu a timmakder ni Joab ket napan idiay Gesur, ken inayawidna ni Absalom idiay Jerusalem.

And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.

24 Kinuna ti ari, “Mabalinna ti agsubli iti bukodna a balay, ngem saanna a mabalin a makita ti rupak.” Nagsubli ngarud ni Absalom iti bukodna a balay, ngem saanna a nakita ti rupa ti ari.

And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.

25 Ita iti entero nga Israel, awan iti ad-adda a naidaydayaw gapu iti kinataerna ngem ni Absalom. Awan ti pakapilawanna manipud iti dapanna agingga iti tuktokna.

And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

26 No pukisanna ti buokna tunggal agleppas ti tawen, gapu ta nadagsen daytoy kenkuana, timbangenna ti buokna; agdagsen daytoy iti agarup dua gasut a siklo, a natimbag iti pagtimbangan ti ari.

And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him, ) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.

27 Naaddaan ni Joab iti tallo a putot a lallaki ken maysa a babai nga agnagan ti Tamar. Napintas isuna a babai.

And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.

28 Nagnaed ni Absalom idiay Jerusalem iti uneg ti dua a tawen a saanna a nakitkita ti rupa ti ari.

And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.

29 Kalpasanna, nangibilin iti sao ni Absalom kenni Joab nga ibaonna ni Joab iti ari, ngem saan a napan kenkuana ni Joab. Isu a nangibilin manen ti sao ni Absalom iti maikadua a daras, ngem saan latta a napan ni Joab.

And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.

30 Isu a kinuna ni Absalom kadagiti adipenna, “Kitaenyo, adda iti talon ni Joab iti abay ti talonko, ken addaan isuna iti sebada sadiay. Inkayo ket puoranyo daytoy.” Isu a pinuoran dagiti adipen ni Absalom ti talon.

And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field [is] next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes rent, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.

31 Timmakder ngarud ni Joab ken napan ni Joab iti balay ni Absalom, ket kinunana, “Apay a pinuoran dagiti adipenmo ti talonko?

And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire?

32 Sinungbatan ni Absalom ni Joab, “Kitaem, nangibilinak iti sao kenka a mangibagbaga nga, 'Umayka ditoy ta ibaonka iti ayan iti ari ta ibagam, “Apay a naiyegak ditoy manipud Gesur? Ita ngarud bay-am a makitak ti rupa ti ari, ket no nagbiddutak, bay-am a papatayennak.””

And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, and I will send thee to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.

33 Isu a napan ni Joab iti ari ket imbagana kenkuana. Idi pinaayaban ti ari ni Absalom, napan isuna iti ari ken nagrukob iti daga iti sangoanan ti ari, ket inagekan ti ari ni Absalom.

And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
