II Samuel 3
1 Ita, adda napaut a gubat iti nagbaetan ti balay ni Saul ken iti balay ni David. Ket pimmigsa a pimmigsa ni David, ngem kimmapuy a kimmapuy ti balay ni Saul.
And the war was long between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker.
2 Naipasngay dagiti putot ni David idiay Hebron. Ti inauna a putot ket ni Amnon, a putotna kenni Ahinoam manipud Jezreel.
And to David were sons born in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jizreelitess;
3 Ti maikaddua a putotna ket ni Keleab, nga impasngay ni Abigail, ti balo ni Nabal a taga Carmel. Ti maikatlo, ni Absalon, a putot ni Maaca a putot Tolmai nga ari ti Gesur.
and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4 Ti maikapat a putot ni David, ni Adonija nga anak ni Haggit. Ti maikalima a putotna ket ni Sefatias nga anak ni Abital,
and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 ken ti maikanem, ni Itream nga anak ti asawa ni David a ni Egla. Dagitoy dagiti lallaki a putot ni David a naiyanak idiay Hebron.
and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 Dimteng ti tiempo kabayatan ti gubat iti nagbaetan ti balay ni Saul ken iti balay ni David a pinapigsa ni Abner ti bagina iti balay ni Saul.
And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
7 Adda inkabbalay ni Saul a managan Rispa, a babai nga anak ni Aiah. Kinuna ni Isboset kenni Abner, “Apay a kinaiddam ti inkabbalay ni amak?”
And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?
8 Ket makaunget unay ni Abner kadagiti sasao ni Isboset ket kinunana, “Maysaak kadi nga ulo ti aso ti Juda? Ita nga aldaw, ipakpakitak ti kinapudnok iti balay ni Saul, nga amam, kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken kadagiti gagayyemna, babaen iti saanko panangipaima kenka kenni David. Ngem pabasulennak pay laeng ita nga aldaw maipapan iti dayta a babai?
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, I who against Judah do shew kindness this day to the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou reproachest me this day with the fault of this woman?
9 Aramiden koma ti Dios kaniak, Abner, ken nalablabes pay, no saanko nga aramiden para kenni David ti kas insapata ni Yahweh kenkuana,
So do God to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah has sworn to David, I do not so to him;
10 nga iyakar ti pagarian manipud iti balay ni Saul ken panangisaad iti trono ni David iti entero nga Israel, ken iti entero a Juda, manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba.”
to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba!
11 Saan a makasungbat ni Isboset kenni Abner, gapu ta mabuteng isuna kenkuana.
And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
12 Ket nangibaon ni Abner kadagiti mensahero a mapan kenni David a makisarita para kenkuana a mangibaga, “Siasino ti makindaga iti daytoy? Makitulagka kaniak ket makitamto nga adda kenka ti imak, a mangiyeg kenka iti amin nga Israel.”
And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make thy covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee, to turn all Israel to thee.
13 Simmungbat ni David, “Nasayaat, makitulagak kenka. Ngem maysa a banag ti kiddawek kenka ket saanmo a makita ti rupak malaksid no iyegmo nga umuna ni Mikal, ti putot a babai ni Saul inton umaynak kitaen.”
And he said, Well, I will make a covenant with thee; only I require one thing of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
14 Ket nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero kenni Isboset, a putot ni Saul, a kunkunana, “Itedmo kaniak ti asawak a ni Mikal, ta binayadak iti gatad a sangagasut a kudil ti mabagbagi dagiti Filisteo.”
And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 Isu a nangibaon ni Isboset iti mangala kenni Mikal manipud iti asawana, a ni Paltiel a putot ni Lais.
And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband, from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
16 Kimmuyog kenkuana ti asawana nga agsangsangit kabayatan ti ipapanna, ket simmurot kenkuana agingga idiay Bahurim. Ket kinuna ni Abner kenkuana, “Agawidkan.” Isu a nagsubli isuna.
And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.
17 Nakisarita ni Abner kadagiti panglakayen ti Israel a kunana, “Iti napalabas kinalikagumanyo nga agari koma ni David kadakayo.
Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;
18 Aramidenyo itan. Gapu ta imbaga ni Yahweh maipapan kenni David a kunana, 'Babaen iti ima ti adipenko a ni David isalakankonto dagiti tattaok nga Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Filisteo ken kadagiti amin a kabusorda.'”
and now do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 Nakisao pay a mismo ni Abner kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin. Kalpasanna, napan pay ni Abner a makisarita kenni David idiay Hebron tapno ipalawagna amin a banbanag a tinarigagayan dagiti Israelita ken ti sangkabalayan ti Benjamin nga aramiden.
And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 Idi simmangpet idiay Hebron da Abner ken dagiti duapulo kadagiti tattaona a mangkita kenni David, nangisagana ni David iti padaya para kadakuada.
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a repast.
21 Impalawag ni Abner kenni David, “Tumakderak ket ummongek amin nga Israel para kenka, apok nga ari, tapno makitulagda kenka tapno maiturayam dagiti amin a tarigagayam nga iturayan.” Pinapanaw ngarud ni David ni Abner, ket pimmanaw ni Abner nga addaan kapia.
And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy heart desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22 Kalpasanna, simmangpet dagiti soldado ni David ken ni Joab manipud iti panangrautda ket adu ti insangpetda a sinamsamda. Ngem awanen ni Abner iti ayan ni David idiay Hebron. Pinapanawen ni David, ket nakapanawen ni Abner addaan kapia.
And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from an expedition, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
23 Idi simmangpet da Joab ken amin nga armada a kaduana, imbagada kenni Joab, “Ni Abner a putot ni Ner ket napan iti ari, ket pinapanaw ti ari isuna, ket pimmanaw ni Abner nga addaan kapia.”
And Joab and all the host that was with him came; and they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away; and he is gone in peace.
24 Ket napan ni Joab iti ayan ti Ari ket kinunana, “Ania ti inaramidmo? Kitaeman, immay ni Abner kenka! Apay a pinapanawmo isuna, ket awanen isuna?
Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it [that] thou hast sent him away, and he is gone?
25 Saanmo kadi nga ammo nga immay ni Abner a putot ni Ner tapno allilawennaka ken tapno ammoenna dagiti panggepmo, ken adalenna ti tunggal aramidem?”
Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
26 Idi pinanawan ni Joab ni David, nangibaon ni Joab kadagiti mensahero a mangkamakam kenni Abner, ket insublida isuna manipud iti bubon ti Sira, ngem saan nga ammo ni David daytoy.
And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
27 Idi nakasubli ni Abner idiay Hebron, inayaban isuna ni Joab idiay igid ti ruangan tapno makisarita kenkuana iti sililimed, ket sadiay a dinuyok ni Joab ti tianna ket pinapatayna isuna. Iti daytoy a wagas, imbales ni Joab ti dara ni Asael a kabsatna.
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him secretly, and smote him there in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 Idi nangngeg ni David ti maipapan iti daytoy ket kinunana, “Siak ken ti pagariak ket agnanayon nga inosente iti sangoanan ni Yahweh maipapan iti dara ni Abner nga anak ni Ner. “Agdissuor koma ti dibbut iti pannakatay ni Abner iti ulo ni Joab ken iti amin a balay ti amana.
And afterwards David heard [it], and he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 Adda koma a kanayon iti pamiliana ti agtutot wenno sakit ti kudil wenno lugpi ken agsarrukod a magna wenno matay iti kampilan wenno agkurang iti makan.
let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that lacks bread!
30 Isu a pinatay da Joab ken Abisai a kabsatna ni Abner, gapu ta napatayna ti kasbatda a ni Asael iti ranget idiay Gabaon.
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31 Kinuna ni David kenni Joab ken kadagiti amin a tattao a kakaduana, “Pisangenyo dagiti pagan-anayyo, agarwatkayo iti nakirsang a lupot, ket dung-awanyo ti bangkay ni Abner.” Ket nagna ni David iti likudan ti bangkay idi maipunpon daytoy.
And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.
32 Intanemda ni Abner idiay Hebron. Impigsa ti ari ti sangitna idiay tanem ni Abner, ket nagsangit met dagiti amin a tattao.
And they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 Nagleddaang ti ari ken nagdung-aw, “Rumbeng kadi a matay ni Abner a kas iti pannakatay ti maysa a maag?
And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth?
34 Saan nagalotan dagiti imam. Saan a nakawaran dagiti sakam. Kas iti pannakapasag ti tao iti sangoanan dagiti annak ti awanan hustisia, isu a napasagka.” Nagsangit manen dagiti tattao gapu kenkuana.
Thy hands were not bound, Nor thy feet put into fetters; As a man falleth before wicked men, Fellest thou! And all the people wept again over him.
35 Immay dagiti amin a tattao a mangallukoy kenni David a mangan kabayatan nga aldaw pay laeng, ngem nagsapata ni David, “Aramiden koma ti Dios kaniak, ken ad-ada pay koma, no rumamanak ti tinapay wenno anaiman sakbay a lumnek ti init.”
And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or aught else till the sun be down!
36 Nadlaw dagiti amin a tattao ti panagladingit ni David, ken naay-ayoda iti daytoy, aniaman nga inaramid ti ari ket naay-ayoda.
And all the people remarked it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
37 Isu a naawatan amin dagiti tattao ken amin nga Israelita a saan a pagayatan ti ari a mapapatay iti dayta nga aldaw ni Abner nga anak ni Ner.
And all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.
38 Kinuna ti ari kadagiti adipenna “Saanyo kadi nga ammo a maysa a prinsipe ken natan-ok a tao ti napasag iti daytoy nga aldaw iti Israel?
And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 Ken nakapsutak ita nga aldaw, uray no napulotanak nga ari. Dagitoy a lallaki, a putot ni Zeruyas, ket naranggas unay kaniak. Pagbayaden koma ni Yahweh dagiti managdakdakes, babaen iti panangdusana kenkuana gapu iti kinadangkesna, a kas maikari kenkuana.”
And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!
