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.
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out 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 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
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 unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.
4 Naay-ayo ni Absalom ken dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Israel iti imbaga ni Ahitofel.
And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
5 Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom, “Ita ayabanyo met ni Cusai nga Arkita, ket denggentayo no ania iti makunana.”
Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he 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 Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not, speak thou.
7 Kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom, “Saan a nasayaat iti daytoy a kanito ti balakad ni Ahitofel.”
And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel 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.
Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, 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.'
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow 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 even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
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 I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
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.
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave 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.”
Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
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 Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent 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.
Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests. Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
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, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but in any wise pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are 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.
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and a maidservant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come 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 lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
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 the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised corn thereon; and nothing was 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 Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to 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 it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled 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.
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
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.
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, 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.
Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he 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.
And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
26 Kalpasanna, nagkampo ni Absalom iti daga ti Galaad.
And Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
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 it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite 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 beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [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 cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
