2 Samue 20

1 Hagi Benzameni nagapintira mago nera Sibakino, kefo avu'ava'ene ne' mani'ne. Ana nera Bikri nemofokino miko Israeli vahe'mo'za antahisazegu ufe nereno amanage hu'ne, Israeli veamota, Deviti'a tagri nagapinti nera omani'neanki, atreta nontamirega vuta eta hiho. Ama Jesi nemofo'a magore huno erisantima haresuna zana ontamigahie.

There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”

2 Hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Devitina atre'za Siba'ene vu'naze. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Jodani tintetira Devitina avariri'za Jerusalemi vu'naze.

So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3 Hagi Deviti'a Jerusalemima uhanatino noma'ama ome enerino nemanino'a, 10ni'a henka a'nema'ama kuma kegava hiho hige'za Jerusalemima mani'naza a'neramina zamavareno mago nompi zamantege'za mani'nageno ne'zane mago'azana nezamino mago'a vahe huzmanteg'za kegava huzmante'naze. Hianagi ana a'nea ome zamanteno omasege'za, ana a'nemo'za kento ane manizaza hu'za mani'ne'za ufri'naze.

David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

4 Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Amasana asmi'ne, 3'a knamofo agu'afi kagrane Juda vene'nea ke hunka amare eme atru hiho!

Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”

5 Higeno Amasa'a vuno mika Juda vene'nea ome kehu atru hu'neanagi, ana eri'zama ome eriana kini ne'mo'ma hu'nea kna agatereno za'zate ana eri'zana eri'ne.

So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.

6 Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Abisaiana asmi'ne, Absalomu'ma hurante'nea hara agatereno Bekri nemofo Siba'a menina ra ha' hurantegahie. E'ina hu'negu ru tatreno mago'a hanavenentake vihu me'ne'nia rankumapi ufre'nigi, hankave sondia vaheni'a zamavarenka arotago hunka vuo.

David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”

7 Hagi Abisaia'ene Joapukea mika sondia vahe'zniane, kini ne'ma kegavama hunentaza hanavenentake sondia vahe'ene Kireti vahe'ene Peliti vahe'enena nezamavareke, Jerusalemi kumara atre'za Bikri nemofo Sibanku ome hakeku vu'naze.

Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

8 Hagi ra have me'nere Gibioni kumate vazageno, anante Amasa'a ome tutagiha' huzamante'ne. Hagi Amasama azeri frufra hunaku Joapuma nevigeno'a, ha' kukena atanineno zaza bainati kazina amu nofipi rusi hu'nea bainati kazimo'a evurami'ne.

When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.

9 Hagi Joapu'a Amasana musenke hunteno, nenafuga kagra knare hu'nano? Nehuno Joapu'a ome agazafeno antako hunte'naku'ma hiaza huno tamaga azanura agi' azokate azeri'ne.

Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

10 Hagi Joapu'ma osi kazima azampima eri'neana Amasa'a onkeno, kegava osigeno Joapu'a ana osi kazinu rimpa reraragufegeno rimpamo'a mopafi herafirami'ne. Hagi Joapu'a ru'enena akasino ore'neanki, magoke zupa Amasana kazina regeno fri'ne. Joapu'ene negna Abisaikea Bikri nemofo Sibana rotago huke vu'na'e.

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

11 Hagi Joapu kazigati mago sondia ne'mo otino, Amasa'ma frino me'nere oti'neno kezatino, Joapune Devitintegama ante'naku'ma hanamoka Joapu avaririo.

One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favours Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”

12 Hagi Amasa'a ka amu'nompi mase'neno, agra'a kora timpi maseno hapa nerege'za, sondia vahe'mo'za, anante eme oti'ne'za uruha nehazageno, kezamatia ne'mo'a Amasana kampinti avazu huno hozafi ome netreno, nakare ku erino refitente'ne.

Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

13 Hagi Amasa avufgama kampinti'ma eri atrege'za, maka vahe'mo'za Joapuna avariri'za Bikri nemofo Sibana ahenaku vu'naze.

When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

14 Hagi Siba'a mika Israeli naga nofi'mofo mopafi vugatereno, Abel-Betmaka vu'ne. Hagi Beriti nagara agri nagaki'za agrane hagerafi'za kuma agu'a ufre'naze.

He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.

15 Hagi Joapu sondia vahe'mo'za Abeli kumara avazagi kagite'za, kumamofo have kegina tavaontera mopa kate'za ante marerite'za, anante mani'ne'za ana have kegina nefragazageno,

They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

16 ana kumapinti mago knare antahintahine a'mo kezanke huno, Tamagesa anteta antahiho, nagra Joapu'ene keaga hugahuanki kehinkeno erava'o hino.

Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”

17 Higeno ana kema nentahino, Joapu'ma erava'o higeno, ana amo antahigeno, Kagra Joapugo higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Izo nagre. Higeno ana a'mo'a asamino, eri'za a'kamo'na hanua nanekea antahio, higeno Joapu'a huno, Izo nentahue.

He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”

18 Hagi ana a'mo huno, Korapara amanage hu'za nehazane, mago'a hazanke'zama eri antefatgoma hunakura, Abeli kumate kva vahete vunka keaga eri antefatgo hugahane hunege'za ana hu'za keaga erinte fatgo nehazane.

Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.

19 Hagi tagra Israeli vahe'mota ha' osu fru vahe mani'nonanki, nahigeta Israeli mopafima agima me'nea rankumara eri haviza hu'za nehaze. Na'a higeta Ra Anumzamofo zana eri haviza hu'za nehaze?

I am amongst those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”

20 Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, I'o, nagra ama kumara eri haviza hu'za nosue.

Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

21 Hagi Efraemi agona mopafinti ne' Bekri nemofo Siba'a kini ne' Devitina ha'renteteno freno kumatamifi emani'ne. Hagi e'ina neke avrenamige'na atre'na va'neno. Hagi ana a'mo Joapuna kenona hunteno, Menintfa ana ne'mofo agenopa akafrita kuma keginamofo fegi'a mate vanunketa kegahaze.

The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”

22 Anante ana a'mo'a knare antahizama'a mika vahe ome zamasamige'za, ana vahe'mo'za Bekri nemofo Sibana ahe'za agenopa'a akafri'za Joapu ome mate vumi'naze. Ana higeno Joapua ufereno sondia vahe'a zamazeri atru huteno huzmantege'za nozmirega nevazageno, Joapu'a kini netega Jerusalemi vu'ne.

Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

23 Hagi Joapu'a ete mika Israeli sondia vahe'mokizmia vugote kvazimi manigeno, Jehoiata nemofo Benaia'a, Kereti vahe'ene Peleti vahe'ma Devitinte'ma kva hunentaza hanavenentake sondia vahe'tamimofo kva ne' mani'ne.

Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,

24 Hagi Atoramu'a kazokzo eri'zama e'neri'za vahete kva mani'ne. Hagi Ahiruti nemofo Jehosafati'a kamani avontafe kegava hu'ne.

Adoram was over the men subject to forced labour, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,

25 Hagi Siba'a avoma kreno eri fatgo hu eri'za kegava hu'ne. Hagi Abiatake Zadokukea pristi netre mani'na'e.

Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,

26 Hagi Jaira nagapinti ne Ira'a, Devitina agri'a pristi ne' mani'ne.

and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
