1 Hagi ana knazama fore'ma hutegeno, Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Nagra knare Juda vahe'mokizmi mago rankumapina vugahufi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Umarerio higeno Deviti'a mago'ane antahigeno, Ina kumate nagra vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Hebroni vugahane.
Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.
2 Higeno Deviti'a tare a'trema'a Jezrieli kumateti a' Ahinoamune, Karmeli kumate ne' Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea Abigeline nezanavreno vu'ne.
So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
3 Hagi Deviti'a agranema mani'naza vene'nene, a'mofavre'zaminena zamavarege'za magoka mareri'za Hebroni kumate megagi'nea kumatamimpi umani'naze.
And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.
4 Hagi anantega umani'nazage'za, Juda vahe'mo'za e'za Devitina masavena eme tagi'za frenente'za Juda vahe kinia azeri oti'naze. Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asamiza, Jabesh-Giliat vahe'mo'za Soli avufga eri'za ome asente'naze.
And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.
5 Hazageno Deviti'a Jabes-Giliati vahetega kema erino vu vahera anage huno huzmante'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a knare tamavutamava huta rankvatamimofo Soli avufgama erisentazarera, asomu huramante'nie.
And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!
6 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a vagaore avesizanteti avesineramantena, knare tamavu'tamava'ma hazarera nagranena tamagrira knare navu'nava huramantegahue.
May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.
7 E'ina hu'negu menina tamagra oti hanavenetita, koro osu hanavetita maniho. Na'ankure rantimo Soli'a hago frigeno, Juda vahe'mo'za kini maninka kegava huranto hu'za masave frenante'za kinia nazeri oti'naze.
Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.
8 Hu'neanagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Soli sondia vahete kva ne' Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-bosetina avreno Mahanaimi kumate vu'ne.
Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,
9 Hagi ana kumatega agra huama huno, Giliati vahete'ene, Asuri vahete'ene, Jezrili vahete'ene, Efraemi vahete'ene, Benzameni vahete'ene Asuri mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene mika Israeli vahe kini manisie huno Is-bosetina azeri oti'ne.
And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.
10 Hagi Soli nemofo Is-boseti'a 40'a kafu hu'neno, Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra Mahanaimi mani'neno tare kafufi kini eri'zana eri'ne. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Deviti amage ante'naze.
(Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.
11 Hagi Deviti'a Hebroni kumara rankuma'a tro huno mani'neno, 7ni'a kafugi 6'a ikampi Hebroni kumatera Juda vahe kinia mani'ne.
And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Hagi Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-boseti eri'za vahetami nezamavareno, Mahanaimi kumara atreno Gibeoni kumate vu'ne.
And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Hagi anama nehiana Zeruia nemofo Joapu'a Deviti sondia vahera nezamavareno Gibeoni tinkerire ome tutagiha huzmante'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za ana tirumofo kantugama umani emani hu'naze.
And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.
14 Anante Abna'a Joapuna asamino, Nehazaveramina hanunke'za zamazankno ha' hanaze huno higeno Joapu'a ana kerera, knarere huno hu'ne.
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.
15 Higeno 12fu'a vahera Benzameni nagapinti vahe Soli nemofo Is-boseti kaziga huhamprintageno, Deviti sondia vahepintira 12fu'a vahe huhampri zamante'naze.
So they got up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Hagi ana'ma hutage'za ana vahe'mo'za zamazeri zamente hute'za, ha'hu'za bainati kazinteti zamasoparega orefri are fri hu'za tarega kaziga vahe'mo'za ufrinte efrinte maka'mo'za hu'naze. Ana hu'nagu e'i ana Gibioni kumakura, bainati kumare hu'za nehaze.
And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.
17 Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra higeno, Deviti sondia vahe'ene, Abna sondia vahe enena ra ha nehazageno, Deviti naga'mo'za ana hara huzamagatere'naze.
And there was hard fighting that day; and Abner and the men of Israel gave way before the servants of David.
18 Hagi ana hapina 3'a Jeruia mofavrezaga, Joapuki, Abisaiki, Asaheliki hu'za Deviti sondia vahera mani'naze. Hagi Asaheli'a dia afukna hu'neankino, agamareno vaniana ame huno vugahie.
There were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel: and Asahel was as quick-footed as a roe of the fields.
19 Ana hu'negu Asaheli'a keganti kegama osu Abnana rotago huno nevigeno,
Asahel went running after Abner, not turning to the right or to the left.
20 Abna'a freno nevifinti rukrehe huno, Kagra Asaheligo? Higeno agra kenona huno, Izo nagre.
Then Abner, looking back, said, Is it you, Asahel? And he said, It is I.
21 Higeno Abna'a anage huno asami'ne, Rukrahe hunka mago'a sondia vahe zamahenka ha'zazmia erio, hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ananke'a ontahi rotago huno vu'ne.
And Abner said, Then go to the right or to the left and put your hands on one of the fighting-men and take his arms. But Asahel would not be turned away from going after Abner.
22 Ana higeno Abna'a Asahelina asamino, Narotogoa osunka natrenka vuo. Hagi anama osanankena kagri'ma kahezankura navesra hie. Hagi kagri'ma kahesu'na nankna hu'na negafu Joapu avurera vugahue?
Then again Abner said to Asahel, Go to one side, do not keep on coming after me: why will you make me put an end to you? for then I will be shamed before your brother Joab.
23 Hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ana ke'a ontahino, rotago huno vigeno Abna'a krugru keve'areti regeno amagenafinti uhanatigeno, anante frino traka hu'nege'za maka sondia vahe'mo'zama anante'ma ne-eza eme oti'naze.
But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.
24 Hianagi anama hige'nea Joapuke Abisaikea zagema ufre'zama nehigekea Abnana rotago huke, Gia tavaonte Amae nehaza agonare zage hanati kaziga Gibeoni ka'ma kokantega vu'nea kante e'na'e.
But Joab and Abishai went after Abner: and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is to the east of the road through the waste land of Geba.
25 Anante Benzameni nagapinti vahe'mo'za omeri atru hu'za eri mago hute'za, Abna amagenare hu'za mago agonare ha' hunaku oti'naze.
And the men of Benjamin came together after Abner in one band, and took their places on the top of a hill.
26 Hagi Abna'a Joapuna ke'zanke humino, tagra amanara huta hara huvava huta vugahupi? Henka ra knazampima ufresuna zankura kenka antahinkara nosampi? Hagi nankna zupa sondia vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za zamafuhe'ima zamarotagoma nehaza zana atregahaze?
Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?
27 Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Tamage mani'nea Anumzamofo avufi kasamuanki, kagra e'inahu kea osantesina nagri vahe'mo'za tamarotago huvava hu'za nevazageno masa hisine.
And Joab said, By the living God, if you had not given the word, the people would have gone on attacking their countrymen till the morning.
28 Hagi anante Joapu'a ufe rege'za zamarotagoma nehaza vahe'mo'za umani'za, mago'ane hara osu'naze.
So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.
29 Hagi ana kenageke Abna'a sondia vahe'ane Araba vu'za Jodani agupofi vute'za, ti rakahe'za Bitroni vute'za, Mahanaim uhanati'naze.
And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.
30 Hagi Joapu'ma Abnama rotagoma nehiretira atreno, vuno sondia vahetamina ome zamazeri atru huno keana, Asaheli'ene 19ni'a Deviti sondia vahera omani'nazageno ke'ne.
And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.
31 Hianagi Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za, Abna sondia vahe'ma Benzameni naga'ma e'nazana 360'a vahe zamahe'naze.
But David's men had put to death three hundred and sixty of the men of Benjamin and of Abner's men
32 Hagi Abna'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Asaheli avufga eri'za nefama asente'naza havegampi Betlehemu ome asente'naze. Ana hute'za Joapu'ene agranema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke eva eva hu'za, Hebroni ehanatizageno kora eme atumasa hu'ne.
And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.
