2 Samue 14

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

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward 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.

Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, please, and don’t anoint yourself with oil; but be as a woman who has mourned a long time 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.

Go in to the king and speak like this to him.” So 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!

When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, “Help, 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.

The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “Truly I am a widow, and 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.

Your servant had two sons; and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed 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.

Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”

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

The king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”

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.

The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and 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.

The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you 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.

Then she said, “Please let the king remember the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.” He said, “As the LORD lives, not one hair of your 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 the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” He said, “Say on.”

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.

The woman said, “Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.

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 we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

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, seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’

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 will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who 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 your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May the LORD, your God, be with you.’”

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 the king answered the woman, “Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.” The woman said, “Let my lord the king now 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.

The king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant.

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.

Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”

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

The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”

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.

Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

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

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, 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.

The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see 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.

Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect 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.

When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.

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

Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.

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

Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and he didn’t see 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.

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again 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.

Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set 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 to him, “Why have your servants set my field 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.

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, 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 came to the king and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
