2 Samue 16
1 Hagi Deviti'a ananteti onasi'a vugamanu ategeno, Mefiboseti eri'za ne' Siba'a Devitina tutagiha hunte'naku eme avega antenegeno ome ke'ne. Hagi agra tare donkifi 200'a breti konagi, fiki raga 100'a konagi, ante hagage hu'nea waini raga'a 100'a konagi huno erineno meme afumofo akru'are tro hu'naza tintafempi waini tina erino emani'ne.
When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 Hagi kini ne Deviti'a Sibana antahigeno, amazana na'a hu'zane? Higeno Siba'a kenona huno, ama donki afutrena naga kamo'za zanagumpi mani'za vugahaze. Hagi bretine zafa raganena venenemo'za negahaze. Hagi ama waini tina hagage kopima nevanageno tamavresrama hanigeta negahaze.
“Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
3 Hagi kini ne'mo ete antahigeno, inantega kva vahekamofo negeho Mefiboseti'a mani'ne? Higeno Siba'a huno, Agra agesama antahiana menina negeho kini trara namigahaze huno Jerusalemi mani'ne.
“Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’”
4 Hagi kini ne'mo'a Sibana asamino, E'i menina maka Mefiboseti zantamina ete'na kagri kamue. Higeno Siba'a kenona huno, kini ne' ranimoka kagri'ma kavesisia zana amne hugahue.
So the king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
5 Hagi anama hute'za kini ne'mo'a Bahurimi kumate'ma vigeno, mago ne'mo tutagiha hunte'ne. Ana nera Soli nagapinti ne' Gera nemofo Simeikino ne-eno Devitina kesuno e'ne.
As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
6 Hagi Simei'a have knonu matevuno Devitina neheno, mika Deviti'enema vu'naza vahera nezamaheno, Devitima kegavama hunte'za kanti kamama vu'naza avate hanave sondia vahe'enena zamahe'ne.
He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
7 Hagi Simei'a Devitima kema nesuno'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra vahe ahe fri vava hunka vahe kora eri taginka haviza hu'nana vahe mani'nananki, amafintira maniganenka vuo.
And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!
8 Hagi kagra Soli naga'ma zamahe frinka, Soli kini trama eri'nana zante menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nona hunegante. Hagi menina negamofo Absalomu kini eri'zana hanare amigenka, frenka ne'ane. Na'ankure kagra vahe zamahe frinka vahe kora eritagi ne' mani'nanku, e'inahu hazenkea eri'ne.
The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
9 Anante Zeruia nemofo Abisai'a kini ne' asamino, nahigeno ami fri'nea kramo'a kini ne'moka e'inahu kea kasuno ne-e! Natrege'na ome ahena agenopa akafri'neno.
Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
10 Hianagi kini ne'mo huno, Ra Anumzamo'ma huntenigeno huhavizama hunenante'na Zeruia nemofoga antahio, tagra magozana hugara osu'none.
But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”
11 Anante Deviti'a Abisaine mika eri'za vahe'anena zamasamino, Nagra'ama kasente'noa mofavremo Absalomu'ma nahe'za nehanigeno'a, Benzameni naga'mo'za amane nahegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamo asamigeno nehianki, mago'zana osu atrenkeno huhavizana hunanteno.
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
12 Hagi nagriku'ma haviza hunane huno'ma huhavizama hunanterera, Ra Anumzamo'a nenageno, Agra'a nona huno asomura hunante'nie.
Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”
13 Hagi Deviti'ene naga'amo'za nevazageno Simei'a anagami kaziga nevuno, Devitina kea nesuno kugusopa kateno avufina netreno have kanona atreno aheno vu'ne.
So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.
14 Hagi kini ne'ene agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za zamavaresra hige'za Jodani tinte unehanati'za anante umanigasa hu'naze.
Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
15 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a, Absalomu'ene maka eri'za vahe'anema Jerusalema ehanati'zageno'a Ahitofeli'a agrane e'ne.
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 Hagi Deviti rone'a Akati kumateti ne' Husai'a Absalomuna eme tutagiha hunteno anage hu'ne, Kini nera kagra zazate kinia manigahane!
And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 Hianagi Absalomu'a Husaina antahigeno, Deviti nefuga mani'nananki, kagra nahigenka agranena ovu mani'nane? E'i knare kavukvara negafuna huontane.
“Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
18 Higeno Husai'a kenona huno, Ra Anumzamo'ene maka Israeli vahe'mo'za huhamprintesaza kini nemofo agoraga nagra manigahue.
“Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
19 Hagi nagra negafa antahintahima ami eri'za vahe mani'noankna hu'na kagri eri'za vahe manigahue.
Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
20 Hagi Absalomu'a Ahitofelina asamino, Na'a hugahumpi antahi'zana namio.
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”
21 Higeno Ahitofeli'a Absalomuna hunteno, negafana henka a'nezaga'ane umaso. Na'ankure agra nonku'ma kegava hanazegu zamatreno vu'ne. E'inama hananke'za Israeli vahe'mo'za antahisu'za, tamage hunka negafana ha'renentane nehu'za, kagranema mani'naza vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za kagritega antegahaze.
Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
22 Higeno nomofo agofetu seli no Absalomuna kintageno, nefama zamatreno vu'nea a'nenea mika Israeli vahe zamavuga zamanteno mase'ne. (2 Samuel 12:11-12.)
So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Hagi ana knafina Ahitofeli'a Ra Anumzamofontegati'ma antahintahima erinoma hiankna ke nehigeno Absalomu'a kote'ma Deviti'ma hu'neankna huno amagera ante'ne.
Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
