II Samuel 17
1 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Ahitofel kenni Absalom, “Ita palubosannak a pumili iti 12, 000 a lallaki, ken bumangonakto ket kamatek ni David inton rabii.
And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.
2 Mapanakto kenkuana inton nabannog ken nakapuy isuna ket maklaatto isuna gapu iti buteng. Agtatarayto dagiti tattao a kaduana, ket ti laeng ari iti darupek.
And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone.
3 Isublikto dagiti amin a tattao kenka, kas iti panagsubli iti nobia iti asawana, ket addaanto iti talna iti panagturaymo dagiti amin a tattao.”
And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace.
4 Naay-ayo ni Absalom ken dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Israel iti imbaga ni Ahitofel.
And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel.
5 Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom, “Ita ayabanyo met ni Cusai nga Arkita, ket denggentayo no ania iti makunana.”
But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.
6 Idi dimteng ni Cusai iti ayan ni Absalom, impalawag ni Absalom kenni Cusai ti imbaga ni Ahitofel sana sinaludsod ni Cusai, “Rumbeng kadi nga aramidenmi ti imbaga ni Ahitofel? No saan, ibagam kadakami no ania ti maibalakadmo.”
And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give?
7 Kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom, “Saan a nasayaat iti daytoy a kanito ti balakad ni Ahitofel.”
And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.
8 Kinuna pay ni Cusai, “Ammom a nabileg a mannakigubat ti amam ken dagiti tattaona, ket makaungetda, kasda la oso a natakaw dagiti urbonna iti kataltalonan. Maysa a mannakigubat iti amam; saan isuna a makikadua a maturog kadagiti soldadona ita a rabii.
And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people.
9 Kitaem, nalabit nga ita a kanito ket nakalemmeng isuna iti maysa nga abut wenno iti sabali a lugar. Mapasamakto nga inton mapapatay iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattaom iti rugrugi iti raut, ibaganto iti siasinoman a makangngeg iti daytoy, 'Adda pannakapapatay kadagiti soldado a sumurot kenni Absalom.'
Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he list: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom.
10 Ket uray dagiti katuturedan a soldado, a kasla agpuspuso a leon, agbutengto gapu ta ammo iti amin nga Israel a maysa a maingel a tao ti amam, ken napipigsa unay dagiti tattaona.
And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant.
11 Isu nga ibalakadko kenka a pagmaymaysaem koma nga ummongen dagiti amin nga Israel kenka, manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba, a kas kaado dagiti darat iti baybay, ket mapanka a mismo a makigubat.
But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them.
12 Mapankaminto kenkuana sadinoman a pakasapulan kenkuana, ket kalubanmi isuna a kas iti panagtinnag ti linnaaw iti daga. Awanto ti ibatimi uray maysa kadagiti tattaona, wenno isuna a mismo, a sibibiag.
And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one.
13 No agkamang isuna iti maysa a siudad, ket mangipanto kadagiti tali dagiti amin nga Israel iti dayta a siudad ket iguyodminto daytoy iti karayan, agingga nga awanton uray maysa a bassit a bato a masarakan sadiay.”
And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof.
14 Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom ken dagiti tattao ti Israel, “Nasaysayaat ti balakad ni Cusai nga Arkita ngem iti balakad ni Ahitofel.” Ta inkeddeng ni Yahweh iti pannakalaksid iti nasayaat a balakad ni Ahitofel tapno maiyeg iti pannakadadael kenni Absalom.
And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
15 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Cusai kada Zadok ken Abiatar a papadi, “Binalakadan ni Ahitofel ni Absalom ken dagiti panglakayen ti Israel iti kasta, ken kastoy a wagas, ngem adda iti maysa a banag nga imbalakadko.
And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them.
16 Ita ngarud, agapurakayo ket inkayo ipadamag kenni David; ' Saankayo nga agkampo inton rabii iti pagballasiwan iti Araba, ngem aramidenyo iti amin a pamusposan tapno makaballasiwkayo, ta no saan ket maalun-on ti ari agraman dagiti amin a tattao a kaduana.'”
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him.
17 Ita, adda nga agur-uray da Jonatan ken Ahimaas idiay igid iti ubbog ti Rogel; adda maysa nga adipen a babai a kadawyan a mapan agidanon kadagiti mensahe kadakuada. Kalpasanna mapanda ibaga kenni Ari David, tapno saan ida a makita a mapmapan iti siudad.
And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city.
18 Ngem iti daytoy a tiempo, nakita ida iti maysa a bumarito ket imbagana kenni Absalom. Isu a sidadaras a pimmanaw ni Jonatan ken ni Ahimaas ket napanda iti balay ti maysa a tao idiay Bahurim, addaan daytoy a lalaki iti bubon iti paraanganna, nga isu ti bimmabaanda.
But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
19 Innala iti asawa ti lalaki ti pagkalub iti bubon ket inyabbongna daytoy iti ngarab ti bubon, ken winarisanna kadagiti bukbukel iti rabaw daytoy, isu nga awan ti makaammo nga adda iti uneg ti bubon da Jonathan ken Ahimaas.
And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley: and so the thing was not known.
20 Napan dagiti tattao ni Absalom iti balay ti babai ket kinunada, “Sadino ti ayan da Ahimaas ken Jonatan?” Imbaga ti babai kadakuada, “Nagaballasiwda iti karayan.” Kalpasan a kinitada iti aglawlaw ket saanda ida a nasarakan, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem.
And when Absalom’s servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem.
21 Ket naaramid kalpasan a nakapanawda, rimuar da Jonatan ken Ahimaas iti bubon. Napanda impadamag kenni Ari David; imbagada kenkuana, “Tumakderkayo ket partakanyo ti bumallasiw iti danum gapu ta nagibalakad iti kasta ken kastoy ni Ahitofel maipapan kadakayo.”
And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you.
22 Timmakder ngarud ni David ken dagiti amin a tattao a kaduana, ket binallasiwda ti Jordan. Awan uray maysa kadakuada iti saan a nakaballasiw iti Karayan Jordan sakbay nga aglawag iti agsapa.
So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river.
23 Idi naammoan ni Ahitofel a saan a nasurot ti balakadna, sinillianna ti asnona sa pimmanaw. Nagawid isuna iti bukodna a siudad, inurnosna iti balayna, sana imbitin ti bagina. Iti kastoy a wagas natay isuna ken naitabon iti tanem ni amana.
But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24 Kalpasanna, dimteng ni David iti Mahanaim. Kasta met ni Absalom, binallasiwna ti Jordan, isuna ken amin dagiti tattao iti Israel a kaduana.
But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, be and all the men of Israel with him.
25 Ket insaad ni Absalom ni Amasa a mangidaulo iti armada imbes a ni Joab. Ni Amasa ket putot a lalaki ni Jeter nga Israelita, a nakikaidda kenni Abigail a putot a babai ni Naas ken kabsat a babai ni Zeruyas, nga ina ni Joab.
Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab’s stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab.
26 Kalpasanna, nagkampo ni Absalom iti daga ti Galaad.
And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad.
27 Ket naaramid idi nakadanun ni David iti Mahanaim, a ni Sobi a putto a lalaki ni Naas iti Ammonita a taga Raba, ken ni Makir a putto ni Amiel a taga Lodebar, ken ni Barzillai a maysa a Galaadita a taga Rogelim,
And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar, and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim,
28 ket nangiyegda kadagiti ikamen ken ules, malukong ken banga, ken trigo, arina a naaramid manipud iti sebada, nakirog a bukel, bukel ti utong, patani,
Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,
29 diro, mantikilya, karnero, ken keso. Tapno makapangan ni David ken dagiti tattao a kaduana. Kinuna dagitoy a tattao, “Mabisin dagiti tattao, nabannog, ken mawaw idiay let-ang.”
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness.
