< II Samuel 16 >

1 Idi nakaadayo bassit ni David iti tapaw ti turod, sinabat isuna ni Siba nga adipen ni Mefiboset nga addaan iti agasawa a nasilyaan nga asno a nagkarga iti 200 a tinapay, 100 a karaay ti ubas, 100 a kapetpet a bunga ti igos, ken maysa a supot a lalat nga arak.
And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask of wine.
2 Kinuna iti ari ken Siba, “Apay nga inyegmo dagitoy a banbanag?” Simmungbat ni Siba, “Dagiti asno ket pagluganan dagiti sangakabbalayan ti ari, ti tinapay ken dagiti kankanen a naaramid manipud iti bunga ti igos ket agpaay a kanen dagiti agtutubo a lallaki a kaduam, ken ti arak ket inumen iti siasinoman a matalimudaw idiay laet-ang.”
And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 Kinuna ti ari, “Sadino ti ayan iti apoko ti apom?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Nagbati isuna idiay Jerusalem, ta kunana, 'Ita nga aldaw, isubli iti balay ti Israel ti pagarian ti amak kaniak.'”
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Siba, “Adtoy, kukuamon ita dagiti amin a kukua ni Mefiboset.” Simmungbat ni Siba, “Agrukbabak a sipapakumbaba kenka, apok nga ari. Makasarakak koma iti pabor iti imatangmo.”
And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5 Idi nakadanon ni David idiay Bahurim, rimmuar sadiay ti maysa a lalaki a nagtaud iti puli ni Saul, ti nagana ket Simei a putot a lalaki ni Gera. Rimmuar isuna nga agilunlunod bayat iti pannagnana.
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed,
6 Binatubatona ni David ken dagiti amin nga opisyal iti ari, iti laksid ti kaadda ti armada ken dagiti guardia nga adda iti kannawan ken kannigid iti ari.
and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Nagpukpukaw a nagilunlunod ni Simei, “Umadayoka, pumanawka ditoy, sika a kriminal, sika a mammapatay!
And thus said Shimei as he cursed: Away, away, thou man of blood and man of Belial!
8 Binalesnakayo amin ni Yahweh gapu iti dara ti pamilia ni Saul, a makinsaad iti pagturturayam. Impaiama ni Yahweh ti pagarian kenni Absalom nga anakmo. Ket ita nadadaelka gapu ta maysaka a mammapatay a tao.”
Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art [taken] in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood.
9 Ket kinuna ni Abisai a putot a lalaki ni Zeruyas iti ari, “Apay koma ngay nga idadanes daytoy a natay nga aso ti apok nga ari? Pangngaasim ta palubosannak ta innak putden ti ulona.”
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 Ngem kinuna ti ari, “Ania koma ti pakibiangak kadakayo, a putot ni Zeruyas? Nalabit nga ilunlunodnak gapu ta imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Ilunodmo ni David.’ Siasino ngarud ti makaibaga kenkuana, 'Apay nga ilunlunodmo ti ari?'”
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?
11 Isu a kinuna ni David kenni Abisai ken kadagiti amin nga adipenna, “Kitaem, ti anakko a lalaki a naipasngay manipud iti bagik, ket kayatna a pukawen ti biagko. Saan kadi nga ad-adda ita a tarigagayan daytoy a Benjamita ti pannakadadaelko? Bay-anyo isuna nga agilunod, ta binilin isuna ni Yahweh a mangaramid iti dayta.
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.
12 Nalabit a kitaento ni Yahweh ti panagtuok a naipalak-am kaniak, ket supapakannak iti naimbag gapu iti panangilunlunodna kaniak ita nga aldaw.”
It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.
13 Nagdalliasat ngarud ni David ken dagiti tattaona iti dalan, kabayatan nga adda ni Simei idi iti asidegna iti ngato iti bakras ti turod nga agilunlunod ken agipurpuruak iti tapok ken batbato kenkuana bayat ti pannagnana.
And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 Ket nabannog ti ari ken dagiti amin a tattao a kimmuyog kenkuana, ket naginana isuna idi simmardengda ta rabiin.
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Kasta met a napan idiay Jerusalem ni Absalom ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel a kaduana, kaduana ni Ahitofel.
Now Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 Naaramid idi a ni Cusai nga Arkita a gayyem ni David ket napan kenni Absalom, kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom, “Agbiag ti ari! Agbiag ti ari!”
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
17 Kinuna ni Absalom kenni Cusai, “Kastoy kadi ti kinapudnom iti gayyemmo? Apay a saanka a simmurot kenkuana?”
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why didst thou not go with thy friend?
18 Kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom,”Saan! Ngem ketdi, ti tao a pinili ni Yahweh ken dagitoy a tattao ken dagiti amin a lallaki iti Israel, dayta a tao ti pakaibilangakto, ket makipagnaedakto kenkuana.
And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 Ken, siasino koma ti rumbeng a pagserbiak? Saan kadi a rumbeng nga agserbiak iti imatang iti anakna? Kas iti panagserbik iti imatang iti amam, agserbiak iti imatangmo.”
And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom kenni Ahitofel, “Balakadannakami no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi.”
And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 Simmungbat ni Ahitofel kenni Absalom, “Inka ket kaiddaem dagiti tagabu nga assawa ni amam nga imbatina a mangaywan iti palasio, ket mangngegto ti amin nga Israel a nagbalinka a kabusor ti amam. Ket pumigsanto dagiti ima dagiti pasurotmo.”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong.
22 Isu a nangbangonda iti tolda a maipaay kenni Absalom iti tuktok ti palasio, ket iti imatang dagiti amin nga Israel, kinaidda ni Absalom dagiti tagabu nga assawa ni David a kinabbalayna.
So they spread a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Ita, dagiti balakad ni Ahitofel kadagidi nga al-aldaw ket kasla nangngeg ti maysa a tao manipud iti mismo a ngiwat ti Dios. Kasta ti panangkita ni David ken Absalom kadagiti amin a balakad ni Ahitofel.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
