2 Samue 17

1 Hagi henka Ahitofeli'a Absalomuna asamino, natrege'na 12tauseni'a sondia vahe zamavare'na meni kenagera vu'na Devitinku ome hakena hara huntaneno.

Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.

2 Hagi agra menina kasaro kasara huno ana'ana huno nevanige'na ome azerigahue. Hagi nagra antri hanazaza hu'na va'nena, mika vahe'mo'za atre'za fresage'na kini ne'ke ahegahue.

I will attack him while he is weak and weary; I will throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will flee; I will strike down only the king

3 Hagi menina nagra maka vahera zamavarena kagrite egahue. Hagi zamagra zahufa a'mo neve atreno frenereti ete eankna hu'na, ana miko vahera ozamahe zamavare'na kagrite egahue. Hagi Devitinke ahesankeno frinigenka kagra krimpa fru hunka manigahane.

and bring all the people back to you as a bride returning to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be at peace.”

4 Hige'za Absalomu'ene mika Israeli kva vahe'mo'zama ana nanekema antahi'zana knare hu'ne.

This proposal seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

5 Hagi Absalomu'a huno, Akai nagapinti ne' Husaina kehinkeno agranena antahi'zama'a eme huama hina antahimaneno.

Then Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite as well, and let us hear what he too has to say.”

6 Hagi Husai'a Absalomunte egeno Absalomu'a asamino, Ahitofeli'a ama naneke tasami'neanki agrama tasamia naneke amagera antegahumpi? Hagi i'oma hanunka antahintahi ka'a kagra hu ama huo.

So Hushai came to Absalom, who told him, “Ahithophel has spoken this proposal. Should we carry it out? If not, what do you say?”

7 Hagi Husai'a kenona huno, Menima Ahitofeli'ma tamia antahi'zamo'a knarera osie.

Hushai replied, “This time the advice of Ahithophel is not sound.”

8 Hagi kagra antahi'nane, negafa'ene sondia vahe'amo'za hanavenentake vahe mani'nazageno zamarimpama ahe'zamo'a Beamofo anenta'ama vahe'mo'za nevrazageno arimpa aheankna vahe mani'naze. Hagi negafa'a harafa vahekino, kenagera sondia vahe'anena omasegahie.

He continued, “You know your father and his men. They are mighty men, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Moreover, your father is a man of war who will not spend the night with the troops.

9 Hagi agra ko mago'a kumatego, have kampino frakino mani'ne. Hagi agrama kagri sondia vahe'ma ese'zana ha'ma huzmantesniana rama'a vahe zamahe frigahiankino, vahe'mo'zama anankema antahisnu'za Absalomu nevaririza sondia vahera zamahe fri vagaraze hu'za hugahaze.

Surely by now he is hiding in a cave or some other location. If some of your troops fall first, whoever hears of it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the troops who follow Absalom.’

10 Hagi mago'a laionigana hu'za koro osu sondia vahe'kamo'za anankema antahisnu'za koro hugahaze. Na'ankure mika Israeli vahe'mo'za antahi'naze, negafa'a tusi hihamu ne' mani'nege'za, agranema mani'naza sondia vahe'mo'za hanavenentake vahe mani'naze.

Then even the most valiant soldier with the heart of a lion will melt with fear, because all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man who has valiant men with him.

11 E'ina hu'negu noti kaziga Dani kumateti vuno sauti kaziga Bersebama uhanati'nea vahe'ma mani'naza Israeli sondia vahera, kagra mika zamavarenka Devitima ha'ma huntenakura eritru hugeno hagerinkenafi kasepakna hanigenka, zamavarenka hara ome hunto.

Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beersheba—a multitude like the sand on the seashore—be gathered to you, and that you yourself lead them into battle.

12 Hagi inantego Devitima ome keta erifore'ma hanuta, ata komo eramino mikaza refiteaza huta, Devitine mika sondia vahe'anena zamahe fri vaga regahune.

Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. And of all the men with him, not even one will remain.

13 Hagi agrama mago kumapima ufrenketa ana kumofo vihu keginare nofi renteta avazu huta agupofi ome atregahune. Ana nehanunkeno ana kuma'mo fanane huvagaregahie.

If he retreats to a city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley until not even a pebble can be found.”

14 Anante Absalomu'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'za hu'za, Arkiti ne' Husaia tamia antahizamo'a knare huno Ahitofelima tamia antahi'zana agatere. Na'ankure ana hanigeno Ra Anumzamo'a Absalomuna azeri haviza hunaku ana antahi'zana zamige'za Ahitofeli antahi'zana eri atre'naze.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had purposed to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.

15 Hagi ana huteno Husai'a Zadokune pristi ne' Abiatakizania amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ahitofeli'a Absalomune Israeli kva vahe'tamina antahintahi zamige'na nagra amanahu antahi'za zami'noe.

So Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, “This is what Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I have advised.

16 Hagi menina ame hutna Devitina ke atrentekeno, tima takahe'za kantu kazigama nevarera uomaseno, ru agri'ene agranema maka vu'naza vahetamina eme zamahesagi ame hu'za freza hagege kokampi viho.

Now send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but be sure to cross over. Otherwise the king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.’”

17 Hagi Jonatani'ene Ahimasikea Jerusalemi vahe'mo'za zanage'zanku frakike Enrogeli mani'nakeno eri'za mofamo kea erino Devitima ome asaminogura ome zanasami'ne.

Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they dared not be seen entering the city.

18 Hianagi mago nehaza ne'mo ana netrena zanageteno Absalomuna ome asami'ne. Ana higeno ana netremokea ame huke freke Bahurimi kumate mago ne'mofo kumapi me'nea ti kerigampi uramine ome fraki'na'e.

But a young man did see them and told Absalom. So the two left quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it.

19 Hagi ana ne'mofo nenaro'a tavrave rutareno anama mani'na'a kerirera refi'neteno ana agofetu witi kanara huno zanazeri frakizanante'ne.

Then the man’s wife took a covering and spread it over the mouth of the well, scattering grain over it so nobody would know a thing.

20 Hagi Absalomu eri'za vahe'mo'za ana a'ma kuma'afi mani'nege'za eme antahige'za, Ahimasi'ene Jonatanikea iga mani'na'e? Hazageno ana a'mo'a kenona huno, zanagra tina takahene hago vu'na'e. Hagi Absalomu eri'za vahe'mo'za ome hakazana ozamage'za ete atre'za Jerusalemi vu'naze.

When Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they asked, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” “They have crossed over the brook,” she replied. The men searched but did not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.

21 Hagi ana vahe'ma vutageke anama framaki'napinkati atiramine Deviti ome asaminaku vu'na'e. Hagi Devitina ome asamine, kagra menina amafintira atrenka tina takahenka ko vuo. Na'ankure kagri'ma eme kazerisania kea Ahitofeli'a Absalomuna retro huno asami'ne.

After the men had gone, Ahimaaz and Jonathan climbed up out of the well and went to inform King David, saying, “Get up and cross over the river at once, for Ahithophel has given this advice against you.”

22 Hagi Deviti'ene agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za maka ana kenageke Jodani tina takahe'za kantu kaziga vu'naze. Hagi ko'ma atiana mago vahera timofo kama kaziga omani'naze.

So David and all the people with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By daybreak, there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.

23 Hagi Ahitofeli'ma keno antahino'ma hiama Absalomu'ma ke'ama ontahigeno'a, donkiafi marerino kuma arega vuno, mika'zama omerintese nehuno, agra kana aheno frige'za naga'ama asenentaza matipi ome asente'naze.

When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his affairs in order and hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.

24 Hagi Deviti'a Mahanaimi vigeno, Absalomu'a mika Israeli sondia vahera zamavareno Jodani tina eme takahe'ne.

Then David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

25 Hagi Absalomu'a Joapu noma erino sondia vahe'ma kvama hania nera Amasa huhamprinte'ne. Hagi Amasa'a Jeta nemofokino Israeli nagapinti ne'mo Nahasi mofa Abigeli ara eri'ne. Hagi Abigelina nuna'amo Seru Joapu'na kasente'ne.

Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, the Ishmaelite who had married Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah the mother of Joab.

26 Hagi Giliati mopafi Israeli sondia vahe'ene Absalomu'enena seli nonku'ma eme ki'za mani'naze.

So the Israelites and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27 Hagi Deviti'ma Mahanaimima ehanatigeno'a, Nahasi nemofo Sobi'a Amoni kaziga Rabati kumateti ne'ki, Amieli nemofo Makiri Lodeba kumateti ne'ki, Giliati ne' Barsilaiki hu'za musenkea hufru hu'za avre'naze.

When David came to Mahanaim, he was met by Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.

28 Hagi zamagra tafe'ma masiza mase zanki, ne'zama kreno atino huzanki, kave'ma ati'za nesaza zuomparamima, mago'a witigi baligi flaua'ene kre hagege hunte witi aragane, rentori koheki, koheki,

They brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,

29 tume rima'agi, batagi, sipisipigi memegi sipisipimofo amiri eri kragefinteki hu'za Devitine naga'ane ne'zana eri'za e'naze. Na'ankure zamagra hu'za maka'mota za'za ka ka'ma kokampina azageno tamavesra nehigeno, tamagara netegeno, tinkura tamavenisigeno hu'ne hu'za hu'naze.

honey, curds, sheep, and cheese from the herd for David and his people to eat. For they said, “The people have become hungry, exhausted, and thirsty in the wilderness.”
