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.

Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.

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 come on him while he is weary and weak and will surprise him with fear. The people who are with him will flee, and I will attack 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.

I will bring back all the people to you, like a bride coming to her husband, and all the people will be at peace under you.”

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

What Ahithophel said pleased 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, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, too, and let us hear what he says.”

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.

When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom explained to him what Ahithophel had said and then asked Hushai, “Should we do what Ahithophel has said? If not, tell us what you advise.”

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

So Hushai said to Absalom, “The advice that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”

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.

Hushai added, “You know your father and his men are strong warriors, and that they are bitter, and they are like a bear robbed of her cubs in a field. Your father is a man of war; he will not sleep with the army tonight.

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.

Look, right now he is probably hidden in some pit or in some other place. It will happen that when some of your men have been killed at the beginning of an attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'A slaughter has taken place among the soldiers 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 bravest soldiers, whose hearts are like the heart of a lion, will be afraid because all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that the men who are with him are very strong.

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.

So I advise you that all Israel should be gathered together to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sands that are by the sea, and that you go to battle in person.

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 come on him wherever he may be found, and we will cover him as the dew falls on the ground. We will not leave even one of his men, or him himself, alive.

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 into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city and we will drag it into the river, until there is no longer even a small stone found there.”

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 the men of Israel said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” Yahweh had ordained the rejection of Ahithophel's good advice in order to bring destruction 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.

Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel in such and such a way, but I have advised something else.

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 then, go quickly and report to David; say to him, 'Do not camp tonight at the fords of the Arabah, but by all means cross over, or the king will be swallowed up along with all the people who are with him.'”

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 the spring of Rogel. A female servant used to go and inform them what they needed to know, for they could not risk being seen going into the city. When the message came, then they were to go and tell King David.

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 saw them this time and told Absalom. So Jonathan and Ahimaaz went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, into which they descended.

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

The man's wife took the covering for the well and spread it over the well's opening, and tossed grain over it, so no one knew Jonathan and Ahimaaz were in the well.

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.

Absalom's men came to the woman of the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman told them, “They have crossed over the river.” So after they had looked around and could not find them, 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.

It came about after they had left that Jonathan and Ahimaaz came up out of the well. They went to report to King David; they said to him, “Get up and cross quickly over the water because Ahithophel has given such and such advice about 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.

Then David arose and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over 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 left. He went home to his own city, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. In this way he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.

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

Then David came to Mahanaim. As for Absalom, he crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

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 set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether the Ishmaelite, who had slept with Abigail, who was 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.

Then Israel 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.

It came about when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and 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,

brought sleeping mats and blankets, bowls and pots, and 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, butter, sheep, and milk curds, so that David and the people with him could eat. These men had said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.”
