II Samuel 20

1 Nakapasamak iti isu met laeng a lugar nga adda iti maysa a manangriribok a managan iti Siba a putot ni Bikri, a Benjaminita. Pinuyotanna ti trumpeta ket kinunana, “Awan ti bingaytayo kenni David, kasta met nga awan ti tawidtayo iti putot ni Jesse. Agawid ketdin ti tunggal maysa iti pagtaenganna diay Israel.”

Now, in that place, there happened to be an abandoned man, whose name, was Sheba son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin, —so he blew a horn, and said—We have no share in David, Nor inheritance have we in the son of Jesse, Every man to his home, O Israel!

2 Isu a pinanawan amin dagiti Israelita ni David ket sinurotda ni Siba a putot ni Bikri. Ngem sinurot dagiti tattao ti Juda ti ari, manipud iti Jordan agingga idiay Jerusalem.

Then went up all the men of Israel from following David, to follow Sheba son of Bichri, —but, the men of Judah, clave unto their king, from the Jordan, even as far as Jerusalem.

3 Idi dimteng ni David iti palasiona idiay Jerusalem, innalana dagiti sangapulo nga adipen nga assawana nga imbatina a mangtaripato iti palasio, ket pinagnaedna ida iti balay a nainget ti pannakabantayna. Impaayna dagiti masapsapulda, ngem saannan a kinaidda pay ida. Isu a naiserraanda agingga iti aldaw nga ipapatayda, nagbibiagda a kasda la balo.

And David entered into his own house, in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and sustained them, but, unto them, went he not in, —so they were shut up until the day of their death, in lifelong widowhood.

4 Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Amasa, “Ummongem dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda iti unos ti tallo nga aldaw; masapul nga addaka met ditoy.”

Then said the king unto Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah, within three days, —and, thou, here, take thy stand!

5 Isu a napan inayaban ni Amasa dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda, ngem nagtalinaed isuna iti nabaybayag ngem iti ingkeddeng ti ari a tiempo nga imbilinna kenkuana.

So Amasa went, to assemble Judah, —but he tarried beyond the fixed time, which he had appointed him.

6 Isu a kinuna ni David kenni Abisai, “Ita, nakarkaronto pay a kinaranggas ti aramiden ni Siba a putot ni Bikri kadatayo ngem ti inaramid ni Absalom. Ikuyogmo dagiti adipen ti apom, dagiti soldadok, ket kamatenyo isuna, ta di ket mangbirok kadagiti natalged a siudad ket makalibas isuna iti panagkitatayo.”

Then said David unto Abishai, Now, shall Sheba son of Bichri, do us more harm than Absolom, —thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue him, lest he have got him into fortified cities, and so have escaped our eye.

7 Simmaruno ngarud kenkuana dagiti tattao ni Joab, a kaduada dagiti Cheretita ken dagiti Peletita ken dagiti amin a maingel a mannakigubat. Pinanawanda ti Jerusalem tapno kamatenda ni Siba a putot ni Bikri.

Then went out after him—the men of Joab, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, —and they went out from Jerusalem, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.

8 Idi addadan idiay ayan ti dakkel a bato idiay Gabaon, dimteng ni Amasa a sumabat kadakuada. Nakaaruat ni Joab ti kalasag a pakigubat, a pakaibilangan ti barikes iti siketna nga addaan iti nakakaluban a kampilan a nakagalot iti daytoy. Iti panpannagnana nga agpasango, natnag ti kampilan.

When, they, were by the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa, had arrived before them. Now, Joab, was girded about with his war-coat as his upper garment, and, over it, a girdle with a sword, fastened upon his loins, in the sheath thereof, and, it, came out and fell.

9 Isu a kinuna ni Joab kenni Amasa, “Naimbag kadi ti amin kenka, kasinsinko?” Siaayat nga iniggaman ni Joab ti barbas ni Amasa babaen iti kannawan nga imana tapno agkanna isuna.

Then said Joab unto Amasa, Art thou, well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand, to kiss him.

10 Saan a nadlaw ni Amasa ti imuko nga adda iti kannigid nga ima ni Joab. Dinuyok ni Joab ti buksit ni Amasa ket natnag dagiti bagisna iti daga. Saanen nga inulit pay a dinuyok ni Joab isuna, ket natay ni Amasa. Isu a kinamat ni Joab ken ni Abisai a kabsatna ni Siba a putot ni Bikri.

Amasa not heeding the sword that was in the hand of Joab, he smote him therewith in the belly, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and [struck] him not again, and he died. So, Joab and Abishai his brother, pursued Sheba son of Bichri.

11 Ket nagtakder iti abay ni Amasa ti maysa kadagiti tattao ni Joab, ken kinuna ti lalaki, “Siasinoman nga umanamong kenni Joab, ken siasinoman a para kenni David, surotenna ni Joab.”

Now, a man, stood over him, of the young men of Joab, —and said—Whosoever is well pleased with Joab, and whosoever pertaineth to David, let him follow Joab.

12 Naidasay ni Amasa a nadigos iti darana iti tengnga ti dalan. Idi nakita ti lalaki a nagtalinaed a nakatakder dagiti tattao, binagkatna ni Amasa manipud iti dalan ket impanna iti tay-ak. Inabbonganna ti lupot isuna gapu ta nakitana a ti tunggal tao a lumabas ket agtakder.

But, Amasa, was wallowing in blood, in the midst of the highway, —and, when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa, out of the highway into the field, and cast over him a garment, as soon as he saw that every man that came up to him stood still.

13 Kalpasan a naibagkat ni Amasa manipud iti dalan, simmurot amin dagiti tattao kenni Joab a mangkamat kenni Siba a putot ni Bikri.

When he had removed him out of the highway, every man passed on, after Joab, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.

14 Linabsan ni Siba dagiti amin a tribu ti Israel a nagturong iti Abel, iti Bet Maaca, ken kadagiti amin a daga ti Berites, a naguummong ken kimmamat met kenni Siba.

And he passed on throughout all the tribes of Israel, unto Abel and unto Beth-maachah, and all the Berites, —and they were called together, and came in, yea and followed him.

15 Nakamatanda isuna ket pinalawlawanda isuna idiay Abel ti Bet Maaca. Pinalawlawanda iti nabunton a daga ti igid ti pader ti siudad. Minaso dagiti amin nga armada a kadua ni Joab ti pader tapno marba daytoy. Ket nagpukkaw ti maysa a masirib a babai iti siudad,

So they came, and laid siege against him, in Abel, Beth-maachah, and they cast up a mound against the city, so that it stood within a rampart, —and, all the people who were with Joab, were battering the wall to throw it down.

16 “Dumngegka, pangaasim ta dumngegka, Joab! Umasidegka kaniak tapno makatungtongka.”

Then cried a wise woman out of the city, —Hear ye! hear ye! I pray you, say unto Joab, Come near hither, and let me speak unto thee.

17 Isu nga immasideg ni Joab kenkuana, ket kinuna ti babai, “Sika kadi ni Joab?” Simmungbat isuna, “Siak,” Ket kinuna ti babai kenkuana, “Denggem ti sao daytoy adipenmo.” Insungbatna, “Dumdumngegak.”

So he came near unto her, and the woman said, —Art thou Joab? And he said, —I am. And she said unto him, —Hear thou the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I do hear.

18 Ket nagsao ti babai, “Masansan a maibaga idi un-unana a tiempo, 'Pudno a no dumawatka ti pammagbaga idiay Abel,' ket sulbaren dayta a pammagbaga ti parikutmo.

Then spake she, saying, —They, used to speak, in former times, saying, Enquire, in Abel! And, so, they ended it.

19 Dakami ti siudad a maysa kadagiti katatalnaan ken kapupudnoan iti Israel. Padpadasenyo a dadaelen ti siudad nga ina iti Israel. Apay a kayatyo nga alun-onen ti tawid ni Yahweh?”

I, am of the peaceable among the faithful in Israel, —thou, art seeking to put to death a city, and a mother in Israel, wherefore wouldst thou swallow up the inheritance of Yahweh?

20 Isu a simmungbat ni Joab ket kinunana, “Saan a kasta, saan a kasta kaniak, a rumbeng nga alun-onek wenno dadaelek.

Then answered Joab and said, —Far be it! far be it from me! I will neither swallow up nor lay waste.

21 Saan a pudno dayta. Ngem adda ti lalaki a naggapu iti turod ti pagilian ti Efraim, a managan ti Siba a putot ni Bikri, ket intag-ayna ti imana a maibusor iti ari, maibusor kenni David. Isukoyo isuna, ket pumanawak iti siudad.” Kinuna ti babai kenni Joab, “Maipuruak ti ulona kenka iti ngatoen ti pader.”

Not so, is the matter! but, a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba son of Bichri, his name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David, give up him alone, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Lo! his head, shall be cast unto thee, through the wall.

22 Ket napan ti babai kadagiti amin a tattao nga ammona. Pinutedda ti ulo ni Siba a putot ni Bikri, ket impurwakda daytoy kenni Joab. Kalpasanna, pinuyotanna ti trumpeta ket pinanawan dagiti tattao ni Joab ti siudad, nagawid ti tunggal maysa iti pagtaenganna. Ket nagsubli ni Joab idiay Jerusalem iti ayan ti ari.

So the woman came unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast it out unto Joab. And he blew with a horn, and they dispersed themselves from the city, every man to his home; but, Joab, returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

23 Ita, ni Joab ti nangidadaulo kadagiti amin nga armada ti Israel, ken ni Benaias a putot ni Jehoyada ti nangidaulo kadagiti Cheretites ken kadagiti Peletites.

And, Joab, was [restored] unto all the army of Israel, —And, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,

24 Ni Adoram ti nangidaulo kadagiti tattao nga agtrabaho nga ingkapilitan, ket ni Jehosafat a putot ni Ahilut ti tagailista.

And, Adoniram, was over the tribute, —And, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the remembrancer;

25 Ni Siva ti sekretario ken da Zadok ken Abiatar dagiti papadi.

And, Sheva, was scribe, —And, Zadok and Abiathar, were priests;

26 Ni Ira a Jairita ti panguloen a ministro ni David.

Moreover also, Ira the Jairite, was chief ruler unto David.
