2 Samue 21
1 Hagi Deviti'ma kini mani'nea knafina, Israeli mopafina 3'a kafumofo agu'afi agatonto kna fore hu'ne. Higeno Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona nunama huno antahigegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Deviti nunamuma'arera kenona hunteno, e'inahu zama fore nehiana Soli'ene naga'amo'zama Gibioni vahe'ma zamahe fri'naza zante nona huno ama ana knazana efore nehie.
During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
2 Higeno Gibioni vahera Deviti'a kehige'za agrite azageno kea zamasami'ne. Hagi ana Gibioni vahera zamagra Israeli vahera omani'nazanki Amori vahe'mokizmi zamagehe'za mani'naze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za kora huvempa hu'za Amori vahera ozmahegosune hu'za hu'nazanagi, Soli'a agra zamahe vagare'ne. Na'ankure agra Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe mopama mika kegava hania kazigati anara hu'ne. (Josua 9:3-27)
The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
3 Hagi Deviti'a Gibioni vahe'mokizmia zamantahigeno, Soli'ma hu'nea zantera nagra inankna hu'na Soli kumimofo nona hu'na apasentanenkeno Ra Anumzamo'a asomura hurantegahie?
and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
4 Higeno Gibioni vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Soline agri nagapintira silvane golinena e'orige mago vahera Israeli nagapintira ahe frigera tagra osugahune. Anage hazageno Deviti'a ete zamantahigeno, Hagi nagra na'a mago'a zana huramantegahue?
They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
5 Hige'za zamagra kinimofo kenona hu'za, Soli ana zana huranteno ama mopafintira tahe fanene hanigeta Israeli vahe mopafina omanisunegu ana antahintahia retro hu'ne.
They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
6 Ana hu'negu Soli nagapima mofavre'o, negeho'ma mani'ne'niana 7ni'a avreramigeta, Soli kumate Gibioni Ra Anumzamofo avuga ome zamaheta hantimaneno. Hazageno kini ne'mo'a zamasamino, Nagra avre tamigahue.
Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
7 Hagi Deviti'a Jonatani'ene huvempa hu'negu nentahino, Jonatani ne'mofo Mefi-boseti'na avre franekino Amori vahera avre ozami'ne.
The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
8 Hianagi Aia mofa Rispama Solinte'ma mani'neno, tarema zanante'nea mofavrerare Armonine ru Mefibosetinena avre'zami'ne. Ana nehuno Mehola kumateti ne' Barzilai nemofo Adrielinte'ma Soli mofamo'ma Merabu'ma mani'neno kasezmante'nea 5fua ne' mofavreramine zamavareno,
Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
9 ana 7ni'a vahera Gibioni vahera avrezamige'za, Ra Anumzamofo avuga zamanankempi nofi hararivazi'za agonafi zamahe fri'zage'za, bali ne'zama hamare knama erigafa haza knare fri'naze.
David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
10 Hagi tare mofavreraremofo nezanarera Rispa'a asunku kukena erino vuno ana tva'onte me'nea have agofetu ome rutareno tafe hu'ne. Hagi bali ne'zama hamare knareti vuno ko knafima ufre'neana hanine zagenena agra ana vahe'mokizmi zmavufare kegava hu'neno, atrege'za namazagane afi zagagafamo'za zamavufaga eme one'naze.
Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
11 Hagi Solina henka nenaro Aia mofa Rizpama hiazamofo kema Devitima nentahino'a,
When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
12 agra Jabase kumate Giliati kaziga vuno, kora Filistia vahe'mo'za Soline nemofo Jonatanigizani Gilboa agonafi znahete'za, zanavufga eri'za maka vahe'mo'zama atruma nehazafi Jabes-Giliati ome hanti znante'naze. Henka Jabesi vahe'mo'za oku'a vu'za zanavufama ome eri'za asente'nafinti zaferina zani'a omerinaku vu'ne.
he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
13 Hagi Deviti'a eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za vu'za, Soline nemofo Jonatanigizni zaferinane, Gibioni vahe'mo'za zamahe'naza 7ni'a vahe zaferina omeri'naze.
David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
14 Ana hute'za Benzameni naga mopare vu'za Soli naga'ma asezmante'naza mopa agentega Zela kumate nefa Kisima asente'nefi ome asezmante'naze. Hagi ana maka kema kini ne'mo'ma zamasamia zama huvarageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuzamia antahizamino, ana mopafima zamaga tontozama me'neana eri atre'ne.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
15 Hagi ete mago'ane Israeli vahe'mo'za Filistia vahe'enena hara hu'naze. Hagi hara hu'za nevazageno, Deviti'a asafeku huno zaferina omne amne hu'ne.
The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
16 Hagi mago Filistia ha' nera agi'a Isbibenobu'e. Agra tusinasi Refaimi vahe'mokizmi nezamagehokino, agra Deviti ahenaku hu'ne. Hanki ana ne'mofo keve agona'a bronsireti tro higeno, kna'amo'a 3kilo naza hu'nea eri'neno, kasefa bainati kazine eri'ne.
One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
17 Hianagi Abisaia'a Devitina eme aza huno ha' huno ana Filistia ha' nera ahe'ne. Ana hutege'za sondia vahe'mo'za Devitina hanave huvempa ke hunte'za, kagra hatera tagranena vano osugahane. Hagi kagra Israeli vahe'motarera lampe tavi kna hunka mani'nananki, atre'nankeno ana tavimo'a asura osugahie.
But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
18 Hagi ete henka mago Filistia vahe'enena Gobi kumate hara ome hu'naze. Hagi ana hapina Sibekai'a, Husa mopareti ne'mo, Refaimi tusinasi nagapinti nera Sapuna ahe'ne.
Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
19 Hagi ete mago'ane Gobi kumate Filistia vahe'enema ha'ma ome hazana, Elihanani'a Zaeli nemofo Betlehemu kumateti ne'mo Gati nagapinti Goliati nefuna ahe fri'ne. Hagi ana nemofo kevemo'a kukena hati masinimofo zafa'agna hu'ne.
[Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
20 Hagi ete'za mago hara Gati kumate ome hu'naze. Hagi anampina Goliati kna ne' krefa mani'neana 6'a agigogi, azankogi huno hunte'neankino miko 24'a agigo azankone me'ne. Hagi agranena Refaimi tusinasi vahe'mokizmi nezmageho'e.
Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
21 Ana ne'mo'a Israeli vahera kiza zokago ke hunezamantegeno, Deviti nefu Simei nemofo Jonatani ana nera ahe fri'ne.
But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
22 Hagi e'i ana 4'a vahera Gati kumateti Refaimi tusinasi nagapinti vaheki'za Deviti'ene, sondia vahe'amo'za zamahe fri'naze.
Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
