2 Samue 3

1 Hagi anantetira Deviti naga'ene Soli naga'mo'zanena za'zate hara hu'za vu'naze. Deviti naga'mo'za mago'ane hanaveti'za vazageno, Soli naga'mofo hanavemo'a ome osi osi huno vu'ne.

Now the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was protracted. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.

2 Hagi Deviti'a Hebronima mani'neno'a, ne' mofavrezaga zamante'ne. Hagi zage mofavremofo agi'a Amnonikino, Jezrili kumateti a'mo Ahinoamu kasente'ne.

And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel;

3 Hagi nampa 2 mofavrea Kiliabukino, Karmeli kumateti ne' Nebali kento a'ma Abigelima eri'nea a'mo kasente'ne. Hagi nampa 3 mofavre'a Absalomukino, Gesuri kumate kini ne'mofo mofa'mo Maka kasente'ne.

his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;

4 Hagi nampa 4 mofavre'a Adonijakino Hagiti kasentene. Hagi nampa 5fu mofavrea Sefatiakino, Abitari kasente'ne.

his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

5 Hagi nampa 6is mofavrea Itreamukino, Egla kasente'ne. E'i ana mofavrezaga Deviti'a Hebroni mani'neno kasezamante'ne.

and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.

6 Hagi ha'ma Deviti naga'ene Soli naga'enema nehaza knafina, Abna'a hanave sondia ne' Soli sondia vahepina mani'ne.

During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.

7 Hagi Soli'ma mago a'ma eri'neana, Aia mofa Rizpa eri'ne. Hagi Is-boseti'a Abnankura huno, nahigenka nenafa ara antenka mase'nane?

Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”

8 Hagi Is-boseti'ma hiankegura Abnana tusi arimpa ahegeno amanage hu'ne, Juda vahe'mokizmi zukake kra nagra mani'nogenka nagrira balia rugantugma nehano? Hagi maka'zama negafa Soline, naga'ane, roneanema navesinezmante'na kagri'ma kavre'na Deviti azampima ome onte'noa zante miza naminaku nehunka, ama ara azeri savri hu'nane hunka nehano?

Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!

9 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Devitima huvempa hunte'nesia zama nagrama osanugeno'a, Anumzamo'a nagrira nazeri haviza hugahie.

May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:

10 Hagi nagra Abna'na Soli kini trara Deviti eri amisugeno, Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'ene Dani vahera noti kazigati vuno sauti kaziga Berseba uhanatisigeno agrake kegava hugahie.

to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”

11 Hagi Is-boseti'a mago kea osu'ne. Na'ankure Abnankura tusi'a koro hu'ne.

And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.

12 Anante Abna'a ke erino vu vahete kea Devitina atrenteno anage hu'ne, Ama mopa kagri mopa me'neanki, nagri'ene kea eme huhagerafinka huvempa huge'na, nagra miko Israeli vahera zamazeri rukrahe hanena kagrite eho.

Then Abner sent messengers in his place to say to David, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and surely my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”

13 Higeno Deviti'a ana kerera anage hu'ne, Knarekita huvempa huta huhagerafigahue. Hianagi Soli mofa Mikelima kagra avrenka eme namisunka, nagri navufina kegahane.

“Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”

14 Huteno Deviti'a ke erino vu vahete Is-bosetina kea atrenteno anage hu'ne, A'ni'a Mikelina avrenka eme namio. Na'ankure nagra 100'a Filistia vahe zamahe'na ko oku zamavufa anonteti mizase'noa a' mani'ne.

Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, “Give me back my wife, Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”

15 Hagi Is-boseti'a ana nanekema nentahino'a mago'a vahe huzamantege'za, Laisi nemofo Paltia nenaro Mikelina ome avre'za e'naze.

So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.

16 Hianagi ana ara avre'za neageno, neve'a zavineteno avaririno Bahurimi kumate egeno, Abna'a huntegeno, ete rukrahe huno kuma'arega vu'ne.

Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.

17 Hagi Abna'a Israeli ranra vahera zamavare atru huno anage huno zamasami'ne, Kotera Devitinku kinitia manigahie huta tamagra hu'naze.

Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your king.

18 Hagi menina ana ketamire otita anaza hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Deviti huvempa hunteno, Filistia vahe zamazampinti'ene ha' vahe'tamimofo zamazampintira, Israeli vahera eri'za ne'ni'a Deviti zamagu'vazigahie hu'ne.

Now take action, because the LORD has said to David, ‘Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”

19 Hagi anante Abna'a viazamo Benzameni nagara ome ana kea nezamasamino, ete ana kea erino Devitinte Hebroni vuno, hago maka Israeli vahe'ene Benzameni naga'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'naze huno ome asami'ne.

Abner also spoke to the Benjamites and went to Hebron to tell David all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

20 Hagi Abna'a 20'a vahe'ene Deviti'ma mani'nerega Hebroni kumate egeno, Deviti'a rama'a ne'za krezmante'ne.

When Abner and twenty of his men came to David at Hebron, David held a feast for them.

21 Hagi ne'za nete'za Abna'a Devitina anage huno asami'ne, Natrege'na vu'na miko Israeli vahera rani kinimokare ome zamazeri atru hanuge'za, zamagra huvempa hu'za kagrira kini kazeri otisagenka, kagri'ma kavesiniaza hunka kegava huzamantegahane. Higeno Deviti'a Abnana atregeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.

22 Hagi Abna'ma Hebroni kuma'ma anama atreno'ma nevigeno'a, Deviti sondia vahe'ene Joapu'enena ha'ma nehazaregatira hapinti'ma eri'naza zantamina rama'aza eri'za e'naze. Hianagi Abna'a Deviti'enena Hebroni kumatera omani'ne. Na'ankure Deviti'a ko Abnana huntegeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

Just then David’s soldiers and Joab returned from a raid, bringing with them a great plunder. But Abner was not with David in Hebron because David had sent him on his way in peace.

23 Hagi Joapu'ene sondia vahe'enema ehanatizage'za mago'a vahe'mo'za Joapuna asami'za, Neri nemofo Abna'a kini nete egeno, kini nemo'a magozana huonteno atregeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

When Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “Abner son of Ner came to see the king, who sent him on his way in peace.”

24 Higeno Joapu'a ame huno kini nete vuno amanage ome hu'ne, Na'a hu'nane? Abna'ma kagrite'ma egenka, nahigenka amnea atrankeno agra vu'ne?

So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!

25 Hagi kagra antahi'nane, Neri nemofo Abna'a regavatga huno maka zama nehanaza ke'naku e'ne.

Surely you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to track your movements and all that you are doing.”

26 Anante Joapu'a Abnana ke atrentege'za Sira tinkerire nevige'za ome ke'za avre'za e'naze. Hagi e'i ana zama hiazana Deviti'a antahino keno osu'ne.

As soon as Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David was unaware of it.

27 Hagi Abnama ehanatigeno'a, Joapu'a avreno rankuma kafante agri'akema kema asaminaku'ma hiaza huno avreno viazamo, negana Asahelima ahe fri'nea zanteku huno bainati kazi ome erino rimpa retragufegeno fri'ne.

When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab pulled him aside into the gateway, as if to speak to him privately, and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach. So Abner died on account of the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel.

28 Hagi henkama ana ke'ma Deviti'ma nentahino anage hu'ne, Nagrama kegava hu'noa vahe'mo'zane nagranena Ra Anumzamofo avufina keta antahita osu'nonankita, Neri nemofo Abna'ma fri'nea zamofo kora kumi'mofo knazamo'a tagritera omenetfa hugahie.

Afterward, David heard about this and said, “I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.

29 Hagi Abnama ahe fri'nea zamofo knazama'a Joapu'ene mika nefa naga'amo'zane erigahaze. Hagi Joapu'ene agripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'mofona namu zamarege, fugo kri erige, azompare vano huge, bainati kazinu zamahe frige, nezanku zamagatege hanige'za frigahaze.

May it whirl over the heads of Joab and the entire house of his father, and may the house of Joab never be without one having a discharge or skin disease, or one who leans on a staff or falls by the sword or lacks food.”

30 E'ina hu'negu Joapu'ene nefu Abisaikea Abnana ahe'na'e. Na'ankure agra nezanafu Asahelima Gibioni kumate'ma hapima ahe'nea zanku huke ahe'na'e.

(Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)

31 Hagi anante Joapune maka agranema mani'naza vahera Deviti'a zamasamino, Kukenatamia tagato nehuta, tamasunku kukena huta tamasunku huta Abnankura zavira ateho. Hagi kini ne' Deviti'a vahe'ma eri'zama nevaza vahe zamefi e'ne.

Then David ordered Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner.” And King David himself walked behind the funeral bier.

32 Hagi Abnana Hebroni ome asentageno, keri'arera kini ne'mo'a tusi zavi ome atege'za, mika'mo'za Abnankura zavi ate'naze.

When they buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb, and all the people wept.

33 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno asunku zagamera Abnantera hu'ne, Abna'a negi vahera omani'neanagi, na'a higeno neginagi vaheknara huno frie?

And the king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?

34 Kazantera nofira kionte'za seni nofiteti kagarera kionte'naze. Hagi kagrira kefo vahe'mo'za kahe frize. Hige'za miko vahe'mo'za Abnankura tusi zavi ate'naze.

Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.

35 Anante hanina osunege'za miko vahe'mo'za e'za Devitinkura ne'zana no hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi Deviti'a huvempage huno, Zagemo'ma uorami'nenke'na ne'zama nenugeno'a, Anumzamo'a nahe frigahie.

Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”

36 Hagi miko vahe'mo'za anazama kini ne'mo'ma hiazama nege'za muse nehu'za, ko'ma hu'nea zanku'enena muse hu'naze.

All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the king did pleased them.

37 Anama hige'za miko vahe'mo'za antahi ama nehu'za, Abna'ma fri'nea zamofona kini ne' Deviti'a antahino keno osu'ne hu'za hu'naze.

So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.

38 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a eri'za vahe'aramina zamasamino, menina Israeli vahepima rankva vahe'ma fri'neana tamagra antahita keta osu'nazo?

Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?

39 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kini manio huno huhampri nante'neanagi, nagrira hanaveni'a omane'ne. Hagi ama Zeruia nemofo Joapu'ene Abisai'enena hanave nentake netre mani'na'ankina, nagra zanazeri rava hegara osu'noe. Hagi havi avu'ava hu'nemofona Ra Anumzamo azeri havizana hanie.

And I am weak this day, though anointed as king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil!”
