II Samuel 2
1 Kalpasan daytoy, nagsalusod ni David kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Rumbeng kadi a sumang-atak iti maysa kadagiti siudad ti Juda?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Sumang-atka.” Kinuna ni David, “Ania a siudad ti rumbeng a papanak?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Idiay Hebron.”
After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
2 Simmang-at ngarud ni David a kaduana dagiti dua nga assawana, ni Ahinoam manipud iti Jezreel ken ni Abigail a balo ni Nabal manipud iti Carmel.
So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 Inkuyog pay ni David dagiti lallaki a kakaduana, agraman dagiti pamiliada, kadagiti siudad ti Hebron, a nangrugianda a nagnaedan.
David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
4 Kalpasanna, simmangpet dagiti tattao manipud iti Juda ket pinulotanda ni David a kas ari iti entero a balay ti Juda. Imbagada kenni David nga, “Intabon dagiti tattao iti Jabes Galaad ni Saul.”
The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
5 Isu a nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero a mapan kadagiti lallaki iti Jabes Galaad ket imbagada kadakuada, “Bendissionankayo ni Yahweh, gapu ta impakitayo daytoy a kinapudnoyo iti apoyo a ni Saul ken intabonyo isuna.
David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
6 Ita ipakita koma ni Yahweh kadakayo ti kinapudnona iti tulagna ken ti kinaimbagna kadakayo. Ipakitak met kadakayo daytoy a kinaimabag gapu ta inaramidyo daytoy a banag.
Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
7 Ket ita, papigsaenyo koma dagiti im-imayo; ken tumuredkayo ta natayen ti apoyo a ni Saul, ken pinulotannak ti balay ti Juda a kas arida.”
Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
8 Ngem ni Abner a putot ni Ner, a pangulo ti armada ni Saul ket innalana ni Isboset a putot ni Saul ken impanna idiay Mahanaim;
Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
9 insaadna ni Isboset nga ari iti Galaad, iti Aser, iti Jezreel, iti Efraim, iti Benjamin, ken iti entero nga Israel.
He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Ni Isboset a putot ni Saul, ket uppat a pulo ti tawenna idi rinugianna ti agari iti entero nga Israel, ken dua a tawen a nagturay isuna. Ngem simmurot kenni David ti balay ti Juda.
Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11 Nagari ni David idiay Hebron iti entero a balay ti Juda iti pito a tawen ken innem a bulan.
The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Ni Abner a putot ni Ner ken dagiti adipen ni Isboset a putot ni Saul ket rimmuar manipud Mahanaim a nagturong idiay Gabaon.
Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Rimmuar ni Joab a putot ni Zeruyas ken dagiti adipen ni David ket nagsasarakda iti abay iti pagurnongan ti danum idiay Gabaon. Nagtutugawda sadiay, maysa a bunggoy iti maysa a bangir iti pagurnongan ti danum ken maysa a bunggoy iti bangirna.
Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 Kinuna ni Abner kenni Joab, “Patakderenta dagiti agtutubo ket pagrangetenta ida iti sangoanantayo.” Ket kinuna ni Joab, “Patakderenta ida.”
Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
15 Ket, timmakder dagiti agtutubo ken naguummongda, sangapulo ket dua para iti Benjamin ken Isboset a putot ni Saul, ken sangapulo ket dua manipud kadagiti adipen ni David.
Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
16 Nagiinniggem ti tunggal maysa iti ulo ti karangetna sada induyok ti kampilanda iti bakrang ti karangetda, ket napasagda amin. Naawagan ngarud dayta a lugar iti Hebrew a, “Helcat Assurim,” wenno “Tay-ak dagiti Kampilan” nga adda idiay Gabaon.
They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
17 Nakaro unay ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, naparmek da Abner ken dagiti lallaki iti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti adipen ni David.
The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
18 Adda sadiay dagiti tallo a putot ni Zeruyas: Ni Joab, Abisai ken Asael. Napardas nga agtaray ni Asael a kas iti atap nga ugsa.
The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
19 Kinamat ni Asael ni Abner ket saanna a sininsinaan.
Asahel pursued Abner. He did not turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
20 Timmaliaw ni Abner iti likodanna ket kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta Asael?” Simmungbat isuna, “Siak daytoy.”
Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
21 Kinuna ni Abner kenkuana, “Agpakannawan wenno agpakannigidka, ket tiliwem ti maysa kadagiti agtutubo ket alaem ti igamna.” Ngem saan a simmiasi ni Asael.
Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
22 Isu a kinuna manen ni Abner kenni Asael, “Sardengannakon a kamkamaten. Apay koma a patayenka? Kasanokto nga iparang ti rupak kenni Joab, a kabsatmo?”
Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
23 Ngem saan a simminsina ni Asael, isu a dinuyok ni Abner ti bagi ni Asael babaen iti murdong ti putan ti gayangna, isu a simmalput ti gayang iti bangir a paset ti bagina. Napasag ni Asael ket natay sadiay. Isu a napasamak a nagsardeng ken nagtakder ti siasianoman a nakadanon iti disso a nakapasagan ken nakatayan ni Asael.
However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Ngem kinamat da Joab ken Abisai ni Abner. Idi lumlumneken ti init, dimmanundan iti turod ti Amma, nga adda iti asideg ti Gia nga igid ti dalan nga agturong iti let-ang idiay Gabaon.
But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Naguummong dagiti lallaki ti Benjamin iti likodan ni Abner ket nagtakderda iti tapaw ti turod.
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 Pinukkawan ni Abner ni Joab ket kinunana, “Agnanayon kadi a mangalun-on ti kampilan? Saanmo kadi nga ammo a nasasaemto iti kamaudiananna? Kasano kadi ti kabayagna daytoy sakbay nga ibagam kadagiti tattaom nga isardengda ti panangkamatda kadagiti kakabsatda?”
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Do not you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
27 Simmungbat ni Joab, “Iti nagan ti Dios nga adda iti agnanayon, no saanmo nga imbaga dayta, kamaten koma dagiti soldadok dagiti kakabsatda agingga iti agsapa!”
Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
28 Isu a pinuyotan ni Joab ti trumpeta, ket nagsardeng amin dagiti tattaona ket saandan a kinamat ti Israel, wenno saadan a kinaranget.
So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
29 Nagdaliasat ni Abner ken dagiti tattaona iti dayta a nagpatnag iti Araba. Binallasiwda ti Karayan Jordan, nagnagnada iti sumaruno a bigat ket kalpasanna nakadanunda idiay Mahanaim.
Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
30 Nagsubli da Joab manipud iti panangkamatda kenni Abner. Inummongna dagiti amin a tattaona, a nakatakkuatanna a mapukpukaw ni Asael ken sangapulo ket siam a soldado ni David.
Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
31 Ngem nakapatay dagiti tattao ni David iti 360 a tattao ti Benjamin a kadua ni Abner.
But David’s servants had struck Benjamin Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.
32 Ket innalada ni Asael ken intabonda isuna idiay tanem ti amana, nga adda idiay Betlehem. Nagpatpatnag a nagdaliasat da Joab ken dagiti tattaona, ket nalawagandan idiay Hebron.
They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
