II Samuel 18
1 Binilang ni David dagiti soldado a kaduana ket nangdutok kadagiti kapitan ti rinibribu ken kadagiti kapitan ti ginasot a mangituray kadakuada.
And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
2 Ket imbaon ni David dagiti armada, kakatlo ti adda iti babaen iti panangituray ni Joab, ti sabali a kakatlo ket adda iti babaen iti panangituray ni Abisai a putot a lalaki ni Zeruyas a kabsat a lalaki ni Joab, ken ti sabali manen a kakatlo iti adda iti babaen iti panangituray ni Ittai a Geteo. Kinuna ti ari iti armada, “Kumuyogak met kadakayo.
And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.
3 Ngem kinuna dagiti lallaki, “Saankan a masapul nga umay iti gubatan, ta no aglibaskami awan bibiangda kadakami, wenno no matay ti kagudua kadakami awan bibiangda. Ngem sangapulo a ribu kadakami iti kaibatogam! Ngarud, nasaysayaat a nakasaganaka a mangtulong kadakami manipud iti siudad.”
But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.
4 Simmungbat ngarud ti ari kadakuada, “Aramidekto ti aniaman a kasasayaatan para kadakayo.” Nagtakder ti ari iti abay ti ruangan ti siudad bayat iti irurruar dagiti amin nga armada a ginasot ken rinibribu.
And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 Binilin ti ari da Joab, Abisai ken Ittai a kunana, “Ipagpagapoyo kaniak ket makilangenlangenkayo a nasayaat iti agtutubo, kenni Absalom.” Nangngeg amin dagiti tattao ti ari nga imbilinna kadagiti kapitan daytoy maipapan kenni Absalom.
And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.
6 Isu a napan dagiti armada iti away a makigubat iti Israel; nagsaknap ti gubat iti kabakiran ti Efraim.
So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the fight took place in the woods of Ephraim.
7 Naparmek sadiay dagiti armada ti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti soldado ni David; adu ti napapatay sadiay iti dayta nga aldaw ket duapulo a ribu a tattao ti napapatay.
And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.
8 Nagsaknap ti gubat iti entero nga away, ket ad-adu a tattao ti natay iti kabakiran ngem babaen iti kampilan.
And the fighting went on over all the face of the country: and the woods were responsible for more deaths than the sword.
9 Nairana a nasabat ni Absalom dagiti sumagmamano kadagiti soldado ni David. Nakasakay ni Absalom iti mulona, ket napan ti mulo iti sirok iti nasamek a sangsanga ti dakkel a kayo ti lugo, ket naisalat ti ulona kadagiti sangsanga ti kayo. Nabati isuna nga agbitbitin iti nagbaetan ti daga ken ti tangatang bayat iti panagtultuloy ti pagsaksakayanna a mulo.
And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.
10 Adda nakita iti daytoy ket imbagana kenni Joab, “Adtoy, nakitak ni Absalom nga agbitbitin iti kayo ti lugo!”
And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.
11 Kinuna ni Joab iti lalaki a nangibaga kenkuana iti maipanggep kenni Absalom, “Adtoy! Nakitam isuna! Apay a saanmo a pinatay isuna nga intinnag iti daga? Ikkanka koman iti sangapulo a siklo ti pirak ken maysa a barikes.”
And Joab said to the man who had given him the news, If you saw this, why did you not put your sword through him, and I would have given you ten bits of silver and a band for your robe?
12 Simmungbat ti lalaki kenni Joab, “Uray pay makaawatak iti sangaribu a siklo ti pirak, saankonto latta nga iyunnat ti imak a maibusor iti anak ti ari, gapu ta nangngegmi amin ti panangbilin ti ari kenka, Abisai, ken ni Ittai, a kunana, 'Awan ti siasinoman a mangsagid ti agtutubo a ni Absalom.'
And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.
13 No impustak man ti biagko gapu iti inuulbod (ket awan ti mailimed iti ari), baybay-andakto met laeng.”
And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.
14 Ket kinuna ni Joab, “Saanka nga urayenen.” Isu a nangala ni Joab iti tallo a gayang ket induyokna dagitoy iti puso ni Absalom, kabayatan a sibibiag pay laeng isuna ken agbitbitin iti lugo.
Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.
15 Ket pinalawlawan dagiti sangapulo nga agtutubo a nangawit kadagiti kalasag ni Joab ni Absalom, dinarupda isuna, ket pinapatayda isuna.
And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.
16 Kalpasanna pinuyotan ni Joab ti trumpeta, ket nagsubli ti armada manipud iti panangkamkamatda iti Israel, ta pinagsubli ni Joab ti armada.
And Joab had the horn sounded, and the people came back from going after Israel, for Joab kept them back.
17 Innalada ni Absalom ket impuruakda isuna iti dakkel nga abut iti kabakiran; impunponda ti bangkayna iti sirok ti dakkel a penpen dagiti batbato, kabayatan a naglibas amin ti Israel, tunggal tao iti pagtaenganna.
And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.
18 Ita ni Absalom, kabayatan a sibibiag pay laeng, ket nangipatakder iti dakkel nga adigi a bato idiay Tanap ti Ari, ta kinunana, “Awananak iti anak a lalaki a mangitandudo iti pakalaglagipan ti naganko.” Impanaganna iti adigi ti naganna, isu a naawagan iti Baton-lagip ni Absalom aginggana iti daytoy nga aldaw.
Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.
19 Ket kinuna ni Ahimaas a putot ni Zadok, “Palubosandak nga agtaray itan a mapan mangipakaammo ti naimbag a damag iti ari, no kasano nga inispal ni Yahweh isuna manipud kadagiti kabusorna.”
Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.
20 Simmungbat ni Joab kenkuana, “Saan a sika ti mapan mangibaga ti damag ita nga aldaw; masapul nga aramidem daytoy iti sabali nga aldaw. Awan ti maibagam a damag ita gapu ta natay ti anak ti ari.”
And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.
21 Kalpasanna kinuna ni Joab iti maysa a Cusita, “Mapanmo ibaga iti ari no ania ti nakitam.” Nagkurno ti Cusita kenni Joab, ket nagtaray.
Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go and give the king word of what you have seen. And the Cushite, making a sign of respect to Joab, went off running.
22 Ket kinuna manen ni Ahimaas na putot a lalaki ni Zadok kenni Joab, “Uray ania ti mapasamak, pangaasim ta pagtarayendak met ket surotek ti Cusita.” Simmungbat ni Joab, “Apay a kayatmo ti mapan, anakko, makitam met nga awanto ti magungonam gapu iti damag?”
Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?
23 “Aniaman ti mapasamak, kinuna ni Ahimaas, “Tumarayak.” Isu a sinungbatan ni Joab isuna, “Tumarayka.” Ket timmaray ni Ahimaaz iti dalan a kapatadan, ket inunaanna ti Cusita.
Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.
24 Ita, agtugtugaw ni David iti nagbaetan dagiti akin-uneg ken akinruar a pagserkan. Immuli ti agwanwanawan iti atep ti pagserkan nga agturong iti pader ket nagtannawag. Iti ikikitana, nakitana ti maysa a lalaki a sumungsungad nga agtartaray nga agmaymaysa
Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.
25 Nagpukkaw ti agwanwanawan ket imbagana iti ari. Ket kinuna ti ari, “No is-isuna, adda ti damag iti ngiwatna.” Umasideg nga umasideg ti agtartaray ket nakaasidegen iti siudad.
And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.
26 Nakita manen ti agwanwanawan ti sabali a lalaki nga agtartaray, ket inayaban ti agwanwanawan ti agbanbantay iti pagserkan; kinunana, “Kitaem, adda manen iti sabali a lalaki nga agtartaray nga is-isuna.” Kinuna ti ari, “Umay met isuna mangyeg iti damag.”
Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.
27 Isu a kinuna ti agwanwanawan, “Ti ammok, ti panagtartaray ti lalaki iti sangoanan ket kasla iti panagtartaray ni Ahimaas a putot a lalaki ni Zadok.” Kinuna ti ari, “Naimbag isuna a tao ket um-umay nga addaan iti naimbag a damag.”
And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.
28 Kalpasanna immawag ni Ahimaas ket kinunana iti ari, “Nasayaat ti amin.” Ket nagkurno isuna iti sangoanan ti ari a nagdisso ti rupana iti daga ket kinunana, “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Diosmo, a nangipaima kadagiti tattao a nangilayat kadagiti imada a maibusor iti apok nga ari.”
And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!
29 Isu a simmungbat ti ari, “Nasayaat kadi ti kasasaad ti agtutubo a ni Absalom?” Simmungbat ni Ahimaas, “Idi imbaonnak ni Joab nga adipen ti ari kenka, apo ari, nakitak ti kasta unay a pannakariribuk, ngem saanko nga ammo no ania daydiay.”
And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.
30 Ket kinuna ti ari, “Agpaigidka ket agtakderka ditoy.” Isu a nagpaigid ni Ahimaas, ket nagtakder a saan nga immal-alis.
And the king said, Get back and take your place here. So turning to one side, he took his place there.
31 Kasangsangpet la unay ti Cusita ket kinunana, “Adda ti naimbag a damag para iti apok nga ari, ta imbalesnaka ni Yahweh ita manipud kadagiti amin nga immalsa a maibusor kenka.”
And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.
32 Ket kinuna ti ari iti Cusita, “Naimbag kadi ti sasaaden ti agtutubo a ni Absalom?” Insungbat ti Cusita, “Rumbeng koma a lak-amen dagiti kabusor ti apok nga ari, ken dagiti amin nga immalsa a maibusor kenka a mangdangran kenka, iti kas iti linak-am ti agtutubo.”
And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!
33 Ket kasta unay ti panagpulkok ti ari, ket immuli isuna iti siled iti ngatoen ti pagserkan ket nagsangit. Iti ipapanna ket nagladingit, “Anakko nga Absalom, anakko, anakko nga Absalom! Siak la koman iti natay a saan a sika, Absalom, anakko, anakko!”
Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!
