< II Samuel 15 >
1 Naaramid a kalpasan daytoy a nangisagana ni Absalom iti bukodna a karwahe ken kabkabalio, agraman iti 50 a lallaki nga agtaray iti sangoananna.
It came about after this that Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, with fifty men to run before him.
2 Masapa a bumangon ni Absalom ket agtakder iti igid ti dalan nga agturong iti ruangan iti siudad. No mapan ti siasinoman nga addaan iti saan a pagkikinnaawatan a paokom iti ari, ayaban isuna ni Absalom ket ibagana, “Iti ania a siudad iti naggapuam?” Ket sumungbat ti lalaki, “Daytoy adipenmo ket manipud iti maysa kadagiti tribu ti Israel.”
Absalom would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. When any man had a dispute to come to the king for judgment, Absalom called to him and said, “From what city have you come?” Then the man would answer, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 Iti kasta ibaga ni Absalom kenkuana, “Kitaem, naimbag ken nasayaat ti kasom, ngem awan ti inikkan ti ari iti pannakabalin a dumngeg iti kasom.”
So Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right, but there is no one empowered by the king to hear your case.”
4 Innayon pay ni Absalom, “Tarigagayak a maysaak la koma nga ukom a naisaad iti daga, tapno mabalin koma nga umay kaniak ti tunggal tao nga addaan iti saan a pagkikinnaawatan wenno pakaseknan, ket mabalin a maipaayko kenkuana iti hustisia!”
Absalom added, “I wish that I were made judge in the land, so that every man who had any dispute or cause might come to me, and I would bring him justice!”
5 Iti kasta no adda tao nga umasideg kenni Absalom tapno agdayaw kenkuana, iyunnat ni Absalom ti imana ken iggamanna isuna ken agekanna isuna.
So it came about that when any man came to Absalom to honor him, Absalom would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.
6 Kastoy a wagas ti inaramid ni Absalom kadagiti amin nga Israel a mapan iti ari tapno paukom. Isu a naibaw-ing ni Absalom dagiti puso dagiti tattao ti Israel.
Absalom acted in this way to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Ket naaramid kalpasan ti uppat a tawen nga imbaga ni Absalom iti ari, “Pangngaasim ta palubosannak a mapan tapno tungpalek ti insapatak kenni Yahweh idiay Hebron.
It came about at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay a vow that I have made to Yahweh in Hebron.
8 Ta nagsapata daytoy adipenmo idi agnanaedak idiay Gesur idiay Aram, a kinunak, 'No iyegnakto manen ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem, agrukbabakto ngarud kenni Yahweh.”'
For your servant made a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying,' If Yahweh will indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will worship Yahweh.'”
9 Isu a kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Inka a sitatalna.” Timmakder ngarud ni Absalom ket napan idiay Hebron.
So the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So Absalom arose and went to Hebron.
10 Ngem kalpasanna nangibaon ni Absalom kadagiti espia kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, kinunana, “Apaman a mangngegyo ti uni iti trumpeta, masapul ngarud nga ibagayo, 'Ni Absalom ti ari idiay Hebron.”
But then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you must say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'”
11 Kakuyog ni Absalom iti naawis a dua gasut a lallaki manipud iti Jerusalem. Napanda iti kinainosenteda, a saanda nga ammo iti aniaman a panggep ni Absalom.
With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were invited. They went in their innocence, not knowing anything that Absalom had planned.
12 Bayat ti panangidaton ni Absalom, nangibaun isuna iti napan kenni Ahitofel iti ilina a Gilo. Mammagbaga isuna ni David. Napigsa ti yaalsa ni Absalom, ta agtultuloy nga umad-ado dagiti tattao a sumursurot kenkuana.
While Absalom offered sacrfices, he sent for Ahithophel from his hometown of Giloh. He was David's counselor. Absalom's conspiracy was strong, for the people following Absalom were constantly increasing.
13 Napan kenni David ti maysa a mensahero a nagkuna, “Sumursurot kenni Absalom dagiti puso dagiti tattao ti Israel.”
A messenger came to David saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are following after Absalom.”
14 Kinunana ngarud ni David kadagiti amin nga adipenna a kaduana iti Jerusalem, “Tumakderkayo ta pumanawtayo, wenno awan kadatayo ti makalibas kenni Absalom. Agsaganakayo ta pumanawtayo a dagus, wenno makamatannatayo a sidadaras, ket iyegna iti rigat kadatayo ken darupenna iti siudad babaen iti tadem iti kampilan.”
So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. Prepare to leave immediately, or he will quickly overtake us, and he will bring down disaster on us and attack the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 Kinuna ti adipen ti ari iti ari, “Adtoy, nakasaganan dagiti adipenmo a mangaramid iti aniaman nga ikeddeng ti apomi nga ari.”
The king's servants said to the king, “Look, your servants are ready to do whatever our master the king decides.”
16 Pimmanaw ti ari agraman ti pamiliana a simmurot kenkuana, ngem nangibati ti ari iti sangapulo a babbai a kinabbalayna, a mangaywan iti palasio.
The king left and all his family after him, but the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the palace.
17 Kalpasan a rimmuar ti ari ken dagiti amin a tattao a simmurot kenkuana, nagsardengda iti maudi a balay.
After the king went out and all the people after him, they stopped at the last house.
18 Kimmuyog kenkuana a nagna dagiti amin a soldadona, ken napan iti sangoananna amin dagiti Cereteos, ken amin dagiti Peleteos, ken amin dagiti Geteos - 600 a lallaki a simmurot kenkuana manipud Gat.
All his army marched with him, and before him went all the Kerethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites—six hundred men who had followed him from Gath.
19 Kalpasanna, kinuna ti ari kenni Ittai a Geteo, “Apay a simmurotka met kadakami? Agsublika ken makipagnaedka kenni Ari Absalom, ta maysaka a ganggannaet ken napapanawka. Agsublika iti bukodmo a lugar.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why will you come with us? Return and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and an exile. Return to your own place.
20 Gapu ta idi kalmanka laeng a pimmanaw, apay a pagalla-allaenka a kaduadakami? Saanko pay nga ammo no sadino iti papanak. Isu nga agsublika ket iyawidmo dagiti kailiam. Sapay koma ta kumuyog kenka ti kinamanangngaasi ken kinapudno.”
Since you just left yesterday, why should I make you wander all over with us? I do not even know where I am going. So return and take your fellow countrymen back. May loyalty and faithfulness go with you.”
21 Ngem simmungbat ni Ittai ket kinunana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken ti apok nga ari, pudno nga iti aniaman a lugar a papanan ti apok nga ari, isu met ti papanan daytoy adipenmo, uray no ti kaipapananna ket pagbiagak wenno pakatayak.”
But Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my master the king lives, surely in whatever place where my master the king goes, there also will your servant go, whether that means living or dying.”
22 Isu a kinuna ni David kenni Ittai, “Ituloyyo ngaruden ken kumuyogkayo kadakami.” Kimmuyog ngarud a nagna ni Ittai a Geteo iti ari, ken dagiti amin a kakaduana a lallaki ken amin dagiti pamiliana a kaduana.
So David said to Ittai, “Go ahead and continue with us.” So Ittai the Gittite marched with the king, along with all his men and all the families who were with him.
23 Nagdung-aw dagiti amin a pagilian ket bimmallasiw amin a tattao iti Tanap ti Cedron, ket bimmallasiw met mismo ti ari. Nagdalliasat amin dagiti tattao iti dalan nga agturong iti let-ang.
All the country wept with a loud voice as all the people passed by over the Kidron Valley, and as the king also himself crossed over. All the people traveled on the road toward the wilderness.
24 Ket adda met uray ni Zadok agraman dagiti amin a Levita, awit-awitda ti Lakasa ti Tulag ti Dios. Indissoda ti Lakasa ti Tulag ti Dios, ket kalpasanna nakikadua kadakuada ni Abiatar. Nagurayda agingga a nakaruar amin dagiti tattao iti siudad.
Even Zadok with all the Levites, carrying the ark of the covenant of God, were present. They set the ark of God down, and then Abiathar joined them. They waited until all the people had passed by out of the city.
25 Kinuna ti ari kenni Zadok, “Awitem nga isubli ti Lakasa iti Dios idiay siudad. No makasarakak iti pabor iti imatang ni Yahweh, isublinakto ditoy ket ipakitana manen kaniak ti Lakasa ken ti lugar a pagnanaedanna.
The king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me back here and show me again the ark and the place where he lives.
26 Ngem no ibagana, 'Saanak a maay-ayo kenka, kitaem, adtoyak, aramidenna kaniak aniaman nga ipagarupna a naimbag.
But if he says, 'I am not pleased with you,' look, here am I, let him do to me whatever seems good to him.”
27 Kinuna pay ti ari kenni Zadok a padi, “Saanka kadi a mammadto? Agsublika iti siudad a sitatalna, ken ikuyogmo ti dua a putotmo a lallaki, a ni Ahimaas, ken ni Jonatan a puto a lalaki ni Abiatar.
The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar.
28 Kitaem, agurayakto idiay pagballasiwan iti Araba agingga a dumteng ti sao nga aggapu kenka a mangipakaammo kaniak.”
See, I will wait at the fords of the Arabah until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 Insubli ngarud ni Zadok ken ni Abiatar ti Lakasa ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, ket nagnaedda sadiay.
So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back into Jerusalem, and they stayed there.
30 Ngem simmang-at ni David a saka-saka ken agsangsangit idiay Bantay dagiti Olibo, ken inabbungotanna ti ulona. Tunggal tao kadagiti tattao a kaduana ket inabbungotanna iti ulona, ket simmang-atda nga agsangsangit kabayatan iti pannagnada.
But David ascended barefoot and weeping up the Mount of Olives, and he had his head covered. Every man of the people who were with him covered his head, and they went up weeping as they walked.
31 Maysa ti nangibaga kenni David a kunana, “Maysa met ni Ahitofel kadagiti nakipag-alsa ken ni Absalom.” Isu nga inkararag ni David, O Yahweh, pangngaasim ta pagbalinem a kinamaag ti balakad ni Ahitofel.”
Someone told David saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “O Yahweh, please turn Ahithophel's advice into foolishness.”
32 Naaramid nga idi nakadanon ni David iti tapaw ti dalan, nga isu ti nagdaydayawanda iti Dios kadagiti naglabas a tiempo, immay a simmabat kenkuana ni Cusai nga Arkita a naray-ab ti kagayna ken tapok-tapok iti ulona.
It came about that when David arrived at the top of the road, where God used to be worshiped, Hushai the Arkite came to meet him with his coat torn and earth on his head.
33 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “No makipagdalliasatka kaniak, ket agbalinka laeng a padagsen kaniak.
David said to him, “If you travel with me, then you will be a burden to me.
34 Ngem no agsublika iti siudad ken ibagam kenni Absalom, “Agbalinakto nga adipenmo, apok nga ari, a kas iti panagbalinko nga adipen iti amam iti naglabas a tiempo, iti kasta ita adipennakon,' ket, riribukemto koma ti balakad ni Ahitofel, a maipaay kaniak.
But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, king, as I have been your father's servant in time past, so will I now be your servant,' then you will confuse Ahithophel's advice for me.
35 Ken saanto kadi a kaduam sadiay ni Sadok ken Abiatar a papadi? Isu nga aniaman a mangngegmo idiay palasio iti ari, masapul nga ibagam kenni Sadok ken Abiatar a papadi.
Will you not have the priests Zadok and Abiathar with you? So whatever you hear in the king's palace, you must tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Kitaem a kaduada dagiti dua a putoda a lallaki, ni Ahimaas, a puto a lalaki ni Sadok, ken Jonatan, a puto a lalaki ni Abiatar. Masapul nga ibaonmo kaniak babaen kadagiti imada ti amin a banag a mangngegam.
See that they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. You must send to me by their hand everything that you hear.”
37 Napan ngarud iti siudad ni Cusai, a gayyem ni David, apagisu met a simmangpet ken simrek ni Absalom idiay Jerusalem.
So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city as Absalom arrived and entered into Jerusalem.
