2 Samue 18
1 Hagi Deviti'a agranema vu'naza sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'za kegavama hanaza sondia vahe'ma huhampri zamante'neana 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamanteno, mago'a 100'a sondia vahete kva huhampri zamante'ne.
Then David reviewed his troops and appointed over them commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 Hagi 3'a kevuma sondia vahe'ma refako hu'nefintira, mago kevua Joapu kegava higeno, mago kevua Joapu nefu Abisai kva higeno mago kevu'a Gatiti ne' Itaia kegava hu'ne. Ana hazageno kini ne'mo'a sondia vahetamina zamasamino, nagrane hatera vugahue.
He sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the troops, “I will surely march out with you as well.”
3 Hianagi sondia vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, Kagra tagranena hatera ovugahane, tagrama hapinti'ma atreta frege, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za mago'a vahetima zamahesu'za, ana zankura zamagra ontahigahaze. Hagi kagrama vananke'za kahesu'za 10 tauseni'a vahe'ma zamahe'za musema nehazankna hugahaze. Hagi kagra atrenka kumate mani'nenka vaheku'ma upa hanuno, neone zanku upa'ma hanunkenka taza hananana knare hugahie.
But the people pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to flee, they will pay no attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for now if you support us from the city.”
4 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Tamagrama antahisageno'ma knarema haniazana nagra hugahue. Hagi kini ne'mo rankumamofo kahante uotino mani'nege'za sondia vahe'mo'za 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kvao, 100'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevu nevazageno, 1tauseni'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevumo'za vu'naze.
“I will do whatever seems best to you,” the king replied. So he stood beside the gate, while all the troops marched out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Joapunki, Abisainki, Ittainena zamasami'ne, Nagri'ma antahinamisuta Absalomuna agazone hunteho. Hagi ana nanekema 3'a kva vahe'ma zamasamiana mika sondia vahe'mo'za nentahizageno zamasami'ne.
Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom.
6 Anante Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za vu'za Efraemi zafafi Israeli sondia vahe'ene hara ome hu'naze.
So David’s army marched into the field to engage Israel in the battle, which took place in the forest of Ephraim.
7 Hagi Deviti naga'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzamagaterage'za, ana zupa 20 tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri'naze.
There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.
8 Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra huno maka kaziga vuno eno higeno, ana zafafima savri hu'za hazenkema eri'za fri'naza vahe'mofo nampamo'a kazinteti'ma zamahe'naza vahe'mokizmi nampana agatere'ne.
The battle spread over the whole countryside, and that day the forest devoured more people than the sword.
9 Hagi ana ha'ma nehazageno'a, Absalomu'a Deviti sondia vahe mani'narega e'ne. Hagi eme zamageno miuli nehaza donkifi frenaku freno viana oki zafa azankuna'afi azokamo'a rusi huno azeri sga higeno miuli donkimo'a atreno fre'ne.
Now Absalom was riding on his mule when he met the servants of David, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so that he was suspended in midair.
10 Hagi mago sondia ne'mo'a ana zana negeno vuno Joapuna ome asamino, Absalomuna azoka'mo'a oki zafafi rusi huno azeri sga higeno mani'ne.
When one of the men saw this, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!”
11 Ana'ma hutegeno'a Joapua ana nera asamino, nahigenka agrira ahe ofri'nane, kagrama ahe frintesina nagra silvane harafa ma nentaniza amu nofira kamuresine.
“You just saw him!” Joab exclaimed. “Why did you not strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a warrior’s belt!”
12 Hianagi ana sondia ne'mo kenona huno, 1tauseni'a silva nenaminka ome ahe frio hunka hugahananagi, nagra anara osugahue. Hagi tagra nentahukeno kini ne'mo'a kagri'ene tare kva netrena Abisaine Ittainena tamasamino Absalomuna ahe ofriho hu'ne.
The man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels of silver were weighed out into my hands, I would not raise my hand against the son of the king. For we heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’
13 Hagi nagra ana nera ahoresina, kini ne'mo'a keno eri fore hisine. Na'ankure maka'zama fore hiazana agra ko nentahie. Hagi agra keagare'ma nazeri otino nazeri havizama hanifintira, kagra naza osugahane.
If I had jeopardized my own life —and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have abandoned me.”
14 Hagi Joapu'a ana nekura amanage hu'ne, Kea osunka tagano, nehuno oki zamofo azanku'nate Absalomu'a hantiteno ofri mani'negeno 3'a karugru keve erino vuno, Absalomuna tumo ruragino regeno fri'ne.
But Joab declared, “I am not going to wait like this with you!” And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak tree.
15 Hagi Joapu hankore'ma e'neri'za 10ni'a vahe'mo'za Absalomuna ome regagi'za ahe'naze.
And ten young men who carried Joab’s armor surrounded Absalom, struck him, and killed him.
16 Hagi ana huteno Joapu'a uferege'za agri sondia vahe'mo'za Israeli sondia vahe'ma zamarotagoma nehazaregatira atre'za e'naze.
Then Joab blew the ram’s horn, and the troops broke off their pursuit of Israel because Joab had restrained them.
17 Hagi Absalomuna avufga'a eri'za mago keri kampi nevaziza, ana agofetura have eri'za rentrako huntazageno hihi huno mareri'ne. Hagi ana'ma hige'za mika Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za kumazamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
They took Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge mound of stones over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled, each to his home.
18 Hagi Absalomu'a kasefa huno'ma mani'neno'a, mago havea eri retru renenteno nagra mofavre onte'noankino, ama havemo'a nagri nagi erino avame'za megahie, huno hu'neankino menina ana havea me'nege'za nege'za Absalomu have hu'za nehaze.
During his lifetime, Absalom had set up for himself a pillar in the King’s Valley, for he had said, “I have no son to preserve the memory of my name.” So he gave the pillar his name, and to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.
19 Anante Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a Joapuna asamino, natrege'na nagarena vu'na amama fore'ma hia zamofo musenkea kea Devitina ome asamina, Ra Anumzamo'a ha' vahekamofo azampintira kaguvazie hu'na ome asamineno.
Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
20 Hagi Joapu'a kenona huno, Kagra menina ama musenkea erinka kini netega ovugahane. Hagi henka musenkea erinka vugahane. Na'ankure menina agri'a mofavre fri'ne.
But Joab replied, “You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but you must not do so today, because the king’s son is dead.”
21 Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mofo Joapu'a hunteno anage hu'ne, Kagra knazamofo nanekea Devitina ome asamio, ana ne'mo'a Joapu avuga renareno kepri huteno agareno vu'ne.
So Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running.
22 Hianagi Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a hanavetino Joapuna asamino, Nazano navufgare'ma fore'ma hania zankura kagesa ontahi natrege'na nagranena kini nete vaneno. Higeno Joapu'a huno, Mago mizana e'origahananki, na'agafare vunaku nehane?
Ahimaaz son of Zadok, however, persisted and said to Joab, “Regardless of whatever may happen, please let me also run behind the Cushite!” “My son,” Joab replied, “why do you want to run, since you will not receive a reward?”
23 Hianagi Ahimasi'a huno, Nazano nagrite'ma fore'ma hania zankura ontahuanagi nagrira natrege'na va'neno. Higeno Joapu'a knareki vuo huno hunte'ne. Hagi Ahimasi'a Jodani agupofinti Mahanaimiti rugitagino Sudani (Itiopia) nera ovu'negeno uhanati'ne.
“No matter what, I want to run!” he replied. “Then run!” Joab told him. So Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.
24 Hagi Deviti'a ran kuma'mofona tare kahantremofo amu'nompi mani'negeno, anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma kegava nehia ne'mo marerino kuma kegina agofetuti ome keana, mago ne'mo'a agra'ake agareno ne-egeno ke'ne.
Now David was sitting between the two gates when the watchman went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall, looked out, and saw a man running alone.
25 Hagi anaga mani'neo avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, mago ne'mo agareno ne-ege'na negoe, huno kini nera asmigeno, Kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra'akema ne-esiana e'i knare musenke erino ne-e. Hagi anama agarenoma nea ne'mo'a erava'o hu'ne.
So he called out and told the king. “If he is alone,” the king replied, “he bears good news.” As the first runner drew near,
26 Higeno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, Anama agareno ne-ea nemofo amefira mago vahe agareno ne-e, huno kafante'ma kegava nehia netega kezatimine. Hagi anagama mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegavama nehia ne'mo'a kafante'ma kegava nehia nera kezatimino, Kotama e'nea ne'mofo amefira mago ne' ne-e, higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, agranena knare musenke erino ne-e.
the watchman saw another man running, and he called out to the gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone!” “This one also brings good news,” said the king.
27 Hagi anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a huno, Ese'ma ne-ea ne'ma koana Ahimasikna hu'ne. Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra knare nekino knare musenke erino ne-e.
The watchman said, “The first man appears to me to be running like Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” “This is a good man,” said the king. “He comes with good news.”
28 Hagi Ahimasi'a kini ne'mofona anage huno kezatimi'ne, Mikazamo'a knare hu'ne, nehuno eme kepri huno Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofo ragi amisune. Na'ankure kini ne'mokama ha'ma renegantea nera hago ahe'naze.
Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, “All is well!” And he bowed facedown before the king. He continued, “Blessed be the LORD your God! He has delivered up the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”
29 Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, Absalomu'a knare mani'negenka nehampi? Higeno Ahimasi'a kenona huno, Joapu'ma nagri'ene eri'za neka'anema hunerantegeno'a vahe'mo'za atru hu'ne'za ranke ranke hu'nazanagi, na'a fore hu'ne nagra ke'na antahi'na osu'noe.
The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was.”
30 Higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, antire evu mani'nenka avega anto, higeno Ahimasia anante oti'no mani'ne.
“Move aside,” said the king, “and stand here.” So he stepped aside.
31 Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo ehanatino anage hu'ne, kini ne' ranimoka knare musenke eri'na neoe. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kahe'zama nehie vahe zamazampintira kazeri atre.
Just then the Cushite came and said, “May my lord the king hear the good news: Today the LORD has avenged you of all who rose up against you!”
32 Hagi ana kema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a, ne'ni'a Absalomu'a knare huno mani'nefi? Higeno Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo'a kenona huno, Kini ne'moka kagri ha' vahete'ene ha'ma renegantaza vahetera, Absalomunte'ma fore'ma hianknaza fore hugahie.
The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And the Cushite replied, “May what has become of the young man happen to the enemies of my lord the king and to all who rise up against you to harm you.”
33 Hagi kini ne'mo'a tusi asunku nehuno kuma kafamofo agofetu me'nea nonte marerino hunaragintepinka zavi ome ate'ne. Hagi agra zavi'neteno anage hu'ne, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke, Absalomuge, kagri noma eri'na nagrama frisuana knare hugahie, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke huno zavira ate'ne.
The king was shaken and went up to the gate chamber and wept. And as he walked, he cried out, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
