2 Samue 14

1 Hagi Zeruia nemofo Joapu'ma antahiama kini ne'mo'ma Absalomuma kenigu tusizama higeno'a,

And Joab the son of Sarvia, understanding that the king’s heart was turned to Absalom,

2 Joapua mago'a vahe huzamantege'za Tekoa kumate vu'za, mago knare antahi'zane a' ome avre'za e'naze. Hagi Joapu'a ana ara asamino, Zamasunku hu'zama nentanizankna kukena haviza hunka, masavena ofrenka, ko'ma vahe frinegeno asunku huno za'zakna mani'nea a'mo'ma nehiaza huo.

Sent to Thecua, and fetched from thence a wise woman: and said to her: Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, and be not anointed with oil, that thou mayest be as a woman that had a long time been mourning for one dead.

3 Ana hutesunka kini nete vunka ama hanua kea ome asamio, anage nehuno Joapu'a kini ne'ma asaminia nanekea ana ara asami'ne.

And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth.

4 Higeno Tekoati a'mo'a kini netema uhanatino'a, ome kepri humino avugati mopafi umase'neno amanage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki kini ne'moka naza huo!

And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king.

5 Higeno kini ne'mo'a antahigeno, nankna hazenke me'negenka nehane? Higeno ana a'mo kenona huno, Nagrira neneve'a frige'na kento a' mani'noe.

And the king said to her: What is the matter with thee? She answered: Alas, I am a widow woman: for my husband is dead.

6 Hagi eri'za a'kamo'na tare ne' mofavre zanante'noankine hoza agupofi ha' ome nehakeno, vahe'mo'a zanazeri amnea osigeke, mago'mo'a mago'mofona ahe fri'ne.

And thy handmaid had two sons: and they quarrelled with each other in the field, and there was none to part them: and the one struck the other, and slew him.

7 Hagi anama higeno'a maka tagri naga'mo'za oti'za nefuma ahe fria zante, ana risera ahe frisunkeno, nefazana erisanti oharegahie hu'za hu'naze. Hagi zamagra magoke mofavreni'a ahe fri'za nehazankino, nenave agine, naga'amofo zamagima erino maniga vahera ama mopafina omanigahie.

And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth.

8 Hagi kini nemo'a ana ara asamino, Nagra ama ana kegaga eri ante fatgo hugahuanki, kumakarega vuo.

And the king said to the woman: Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.

9 Hianagi Tekoati amo'a kini nera asamino, Kini ne' ranimoka, atregeno ana knazamo'a nagrite'ene nenfa nagate'ene meno. Hagi kagrane naga ka'anena knazana e'origahaze.

And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father: but may the king and his throne be guiltless.

10 Hagi kini ne'mo'a huno, Iza'o ana nanekema hugantenimofona avrenka nagrite egeno, mago'enena ke hakarea huoganteno.

And the king said: If any one shall say ought against thee, bring him to me, and be shall not touch thee any more.

11 Hagi ana a'mo'a kenona huno, Muse hugantoanki, kini ne'moka Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzankamofo agifi huvempa hunka hugeno, vahe'mo'za mofavre'nia ahe ofriho. Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, Tamage hu'na kasefa'ma huno'ma mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifi huankino mago'mo'a ana mofavrea mago'azana huontegahie.

And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.

12 Anante ana a'mo'a huno, Natrege'na mago'ane kini nemoka kantahiga'neno, higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, Amne huo.

Then the woman said: Let thy handmaid speak one word to my lord the king. And he said: Speak.

13 Higeno ana a'mo'a kini ne' Devitina eri ante ama huno asami'ne, Nahigenka Anumzamofo vahetera e'inahu antahintahia retro hu'nane? Hagi menima nagri'ma nasami'na nanekea, kagraka'a havizama hu'nana zana eri ama hunka keaga hugantane. Na'ankure negamofoma kuma'ma atre'noma fregenka omesiema hu'nana mofavrea, ete avrankeno ome'ne.

And the woman said: Why hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, and why hath the king spoken this word, to sin, and not bring home again his own exile?

14 Na'ankure mopafima tima tagiramige'za ete ana tima e'orizankna huta frigahune. Hu'neanagi vahe'mota havizama hunkeno'a, Anumzamo'a tahe nofrianki, mago'a kanku hakeno atre'zama frazage'za omesnazema hu'naza vahera, ete agrarega zamavare tava'o nehie.

We all die, and like waters that return no more, we fall down into the earth: neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth, meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish.

15 Hagi kini ne' ranimoka, naza hugahane hu'na kagrite e'noe. Na'ankure vahe'mo'za nazeri kore hazage'na, kini ne'mo'a naza hugahie hu'na nagra hu'noe.

Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

16 Hagi kini ne'moka, eri'za a'kamo'na kea antahinaminka Anumzamo'ma tamigeta erisantima hare'nona mopafintira nagri'ene nenamofonema tahe fanenema hu'za nehaza vahe zamazampintira tagu'vazigahane.

And the king hath hearkened to me to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of all that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

17 Hu'negu kini ne' ranimoka kemo'a narimpa fru namigahie. Na'ankure kini ne'moka kagra Anumzamofo ankero kna hu'nenka, havizane knare'zanena refako nehane. Hagi Ra Anumzana, kagri Anumzamo'a kagri'ene manisnie.

Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee.

18 Higeno kini ne'mo huno, nagra mago zanku kantahige'za huanki kagra mago'zana erifra okinka nasamio, higeno ana a'mo'a huno, kini ne' ranimoka amane nantahigo.

And the king answering, said to the woman: Hide not from me the thing that I ask thee. And the woman said to him: Speak, my lord the king.

19 Hagi kini ne'mo huno, Kagrira Joapu hugantegenka nagritera enampi? Higeno ana a'mo kenona huno, Kini nera ranimoka, nankna hu'na eri frakigahue? Hagi kagrama kasefa'ma hunka mani'nenankeno'a, mago'mo'e huno mago'azana kagritera eri fraraokigahie. Tamage, eri'za nekamo Joapu ome asamio huno hunantea ke eme kasami'noe.

And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid.

20 Hagi agra amne anara osu'neanki, Absalomu'ma hu'nea hazenki eri fru hunaku hu'ne. Hianagi kini nemoka, Anumzamofo ankero vahekna hunka, knare'nare antahintahine vahe mani'nenka, maka'zama mopafi'ma fore'ma hiazana antahinka kenka nehane.

That I should come about with this form of speech, thy servant Joab, commanded this: but thou, my lord, O king, art wise, according to the wisdom of ail angel of God, to understand all things upon earth.

21 Higeno kini ne'mo'a Joapuna asamino, Knareki kema hanazana hugahuanki vunka Absalomuna ome avrenka eno.

And the king said to Joab: Behold I am appeased and have granted thy request: Go therefore and fetch back the boy Absalom.

22 Hagi Joapu'a avugosaregati mopafi umaseno, ra agi nemino anage hu'ne, Kini ne' ranimoka, menina eri'za ne'kamo'na kema antahinaminka knare kavukvama hunantana zana menina antahiama hue. Na'ankure ke'ni'a antahinka hu izo hunantane.

And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant.

23 Anante Joapu'a Gesur vuno Absalomuna ome avreno Jerusalemi e'ne.

Then Joab arose and went to Gessur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

24 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a anage huno hanave kea hu'ne, Absalomu'a noma'arega umanigahianki, nagri navurera omegahie. Anage higeno Absalomu'a agra'a noma'afi umani'neno, kini nera eme onke'ne.

But the king said: Let him return into his house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned into his house, and saw not the king’s face.

25 Hianagi Absalomuna Israeli vahe'mo'za husga hunte'naze. Agra asenireti'ma vuno agiare'ma urami'neana, afuhe afahera omanegeno, hentofa avufgane ne' mani'ne. Hagi magora agrikna vahera Israeli vahepina omani'naze.

But in all Israel there was not a man so comely, and so exceedingly beautiful as Absalom: from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

26 Agra maka kafurera magoke zupa azokara haretere hu'ne. Na'ankure ana azokamo'a kna hu'negeno'e. Hagi ana azokama erinte'za kna'ama refkoma hu'za kazana, 2 kilogremi hu'ne.

And when he polled his hair (now he was polled once a year, because his hair was burdensome to him) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sicles, according to the common weight.

27 Hagi Absalomu'a tagufa ne' mofavre nenteno, magoke hentofa mofa anteno agi'a Tamari'e huno ante'ne.

And there were born to Absalom three sons: and one daughter, whose, name was Thamar, and she was very beautiful.

28 Hagi Absalomu'a tare kafu Jerusalemi kumatera mani'ne. Hianagi agra vuno kini nemofo avufina ome onke'ne.

And Absalom dwelt two years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face.

29 Hagi Absalomu'a agri agi erino kini ne' ome keniegu Joapuna ke atrente'ne. Hianagi Joapu'a omegeno, mago'ane eri'za vahera huzmantege'za vu'nazanagi Joapu'a avesra huno ome'ne.

He sent therefore to Joab, to send him to the king: but he would not come to him. And when he had sent the second time, and he would not come to him,

30 Hagi Absalomu'a eri'za vahe'a huzamanteno, Joapu bali hozamo'a nagri hoza tava'onte me'neanki, teve ome taginteho huno huzmante'ne.

He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab’s servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire.

31 Anante Joapu'a Absalomu nontega eno, Nahigenka eri'za vaheka'a huzamantanke'za hozani'a teve ome taginte'naze?

Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said: Why have thy servants set my corn on fire?

32 Higeno Absalomu'a kenona huno, Nagra ke atregante'na, are ege'na hugantanena kini ne' ome ko hu'na huana kagra ome'nane. Hagi kagra na'ante knare'ma hu'na mani'noana kea hanke'na Gesuritira e'noe huno nagrikura hie hunka ome antahigo. Hagi anantega manuresina knare hiresine. Hagi menina natrege'na kini ne ome ka'nenkeno hazenkema hunenugeno'a nahe frino.

And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me.

33 Higeno Joapu'a kini nete vuno ana nanekea ome asamigeno, kini ne'mo'a Absalomuna ke higeno eno avugosaregati mopafi umasegeno, kini ne'mo Absalomuna antako hunte'ne.

So Joab going in to the king, told him all: and Absalom was called for, and he went in to the king: and prostrated himself on the ground before him: and the king kissed Absalom.
