2 Samue 14

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

And Joab, son of Zeruiah, perceived that the heart of the king was towards Absolom.

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.

So Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from thence, a wise woman, —and said unto her—I pray thee, feign thyself a mourner, and put on, I pray thee, mourning apparel, and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath, these many days, been mourning for the 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.

so shalt thou come in unto the king, and speak unto him, after 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 Tekoa came in unto the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did homage, —and said—Save, 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 aileth thee? And she said—Of a truth, a widow woman, am I, 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.

Now, thy maidservant, had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, with none to tear them apart, —so the one smote 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.

Lo! therefore, all the family hath risen up against thy maidservant, and have said: Give up him that hath smitten his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother, whom he hath slain, that we may destroy, the heir also. So will they quench my ember that is left, and make my husband without name or remainder, on the face of the ground.

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

And the king said unto the woman—Go to thy house, and, I, will give command 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.

Then said the woman of Tekoa unto the king, Upon me, my lord, O king, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father, —but, 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, —He that speaketh unto thee, bring him in unto me, and he shall, no more, annoy thee.

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.

Then said she: Let the king, I pray thee, remember Yahweh thy God; so that the blood-redeemer may not make utter ruin, and that they destroy not my son. And he said—By the life of Yahweh, not one hair of thy son shall 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 said the woman, Pray let thy maidservant speak unto my lord the king, a word. 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, Wherefore, then, hast thou devised the like of this, for the people of God; and yet the king, in speaking this word, is verily guilty, unless the king, bring back his fugitive?

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.

For, when we, die, we become as water poured on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, —therefore doth God not take away the life, but deviseth plans so as not to thrust out from him, a fugitive.

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, [is it] that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, because the people kept putting me in fear, —so thy maidservant said—Do let me, I pray you, speak unto the king! peradventure the king will fulfil 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.

For the king can hearken, to rescue his handmaid out of the power of the man who would seek to destroy both 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.

So thy maidservant said, Pray let the word of my lord the king be comforting, —for, as the messenger of God, so is my lord the king, in hearing the good and the bad, Yahweh thy God, then, be 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.

Then responded the king, and said unto the woman, Nay, now! do not hide from me, the thing which I am about to ask thee. And the woman said, Pray let my lord the king speak.

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.

Then said the king, Is, the hand of Joab, with thee, in all this? And the woman answered and said—By the life of thy soul, my lord, O king, there is no way to the right or to the left, of anything that my lord the king hath spoken, for, thy servant Joab himself, charged me, and, himself, put, in the mouth of thy maidservant, all these words:

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.

for the purpose of turning round the face of the matter, hath thy servant Joab done this thing, —my lord being wise, as with the wisdom of a messenger of God, in knowing all that is [done] in the land.

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

Then said the king unto Joab, See, I pray thee, I a have done this thing, —go then—bring back the young man, Absolom.

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.

So Joab fell with his face to the earth, and did homage, and blessed the king, —and Joab said—To-day, doth thy servant know, that I have found favour in thine eyes, my lord O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of thy servant.

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

And Joab arose, and went to Geshur, —and brought Absolom 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.

And the king said—Let him go round to his own house, and, my face, let him not see. So Absolom went round, unto his own house, and, the face of the king, saw he not.

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.

Now, like unto Absolom, was there no man handsome in all Israel, to be greatly praised, —from the sole of his foot, even unto the crown of his head, there was not, in him, a blemish.

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 head—and it was at every year’s end that he used to poll it, because it was heavy upon him, therefore he used to poll it—he would weigh the hair of his head, two hundred shekels, by the royal standard.

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

And there were born to Absolom three sons, and one daughter, whose name, was Tamar, —she, was a woman beautiful to look upon.

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

So Absolom dwelt in Jerusalem two years of days, —and, the face of the king, had he not seen.

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.

Then sent Absolom unto Joab, to send him unto the king, but he would not come to him, —so he sent yet a second time, but he would not come.

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.

Then said he unto his servants—See, the allotted portion of Joab, adjoineth me, and, he, hath barley there, go, and set it on fire. So the servants of Absolom set the portion on fire.

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

Then rose Joab, and went unto Absolom, in his house, —and said unto him, Wherefore, have thy servants set the portion that pertaineth to me, 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 Absolom said unto Joab—Lo! I sent unto thee, saying—Come hither, that I may send thee unto the king, saying—Wherefore, am I come from Geshur? I, might as well have yet been there. Now, therefore, let me see the face of the king, and, if there is in me iniquity, then let him put me to death.

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 came unto the king, and told him, and the king called for Absolom, and he came in unto the king, and bowed himself down with his face to the ground, before the king, —and the king kissed Absolom.
