2 Samoela 15
1 Ary nony afaka izany, Absaloma dia nanomana kalesy iray sy soavaly ary olona dimam-polo lahy ho mpihazakazaka eo alohany.
After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Ary Absaloma nifoha maraina koa, dia nijanona teo anilan’ ny lalana mankeo am-bavahady, ka raha nisy olona nanana ady ho entiny any amin’ ny mpanjaka hotsaraina, dia nantsoin’ i Absaloma ka nanontaniany hoe: Avy any amin’ ny tanàna aninona ianao? Ary hoy izy: Avy any Anonana amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely ny mpanomponao.
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgement, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 Dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Eny, tsara sy marina ny raharahanao, saingy tsy misy olona voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka hihaino anao.
Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4 Ary hoy koa Absaloma: Enga anie ka izaho no voatendry ho mpitsara amin’ ny tany, ary ho avy atỳ amiko ny olona rehetra izay manana ady sy teny hotsaraina, dia homeko rariny izy!
Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
5 Ary isaky ny nisy olona nanatona hiankohoka teo anoloany, dia narosony ny tànany ka noraisiny sy norohany izany olona izany.
It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 Ary toy izany no nataon’ i Absaloma tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka hotsaraina; ka dia voafetsin’ i Absaloma ho azy ny fon’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgement. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Ary nony afaka efa-polo taona, dia hoy Absaloma tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho hankany Hebrona hanefa ny voadiko izay nivoadiako tamin’ i Jehovah.
At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
8 Fa nivoady aho mpanomponao, fony mbola nitoetra tany Gesora any Syria, nanao hoe: Raha mbola hampodin’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema ihany aho, dia hanompo an’ i Jehovah.
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
9 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara ary. Dia niainga izy ka nankany Hebrona.
The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 Ary Absaloma naniraka mpitety nankeny amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hanao hoe: Raha vao mandre ny feon’ ny anjomara ianareo, dia miantsoa hoe: Absaloma no mpanjaka ao Hebrona.
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
11 Ary nisy roan-jato lahy izay nasain’ i Absaloma, ka dia nanaraka azy avy tany Jerosalema, nefa nandeha tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fony izy ireo, fa tsy nahafantatra na inona na inona.
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
12 Ary Absaloma naniraka naka an’ i Ahitofela Gilonita, mpanolo-tsaina an’ i Davida, avy tao an-tanànany, dia tao Gilo, raha mbola nanatitra ny fanatitra izy. Ary nihamasaka ny tetika fikomiana, ka dia nihamaro mandrakariva ny olona nomba an’ i Absaloma.
Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 Ary nisy olona tonga tao amin’ i Davida ka nilaza hoe: Lasa nanaraka an’ i Absaloma fon’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra izay tao aminy tany Jerosalema: Mitsangàna, andeha isika handositra, fa tsy hisy hahafahantsika amin’ i Absaloma; andeha hiala faingana, fandrao tamy faingana izy, ka tratrany eto isika, dia hataony idiran-doza tampoka eto isika, ary hasiany amin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ny tanàna.
David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indreto ny mpanomponao hanao araka izay rehetra sitraky ny mpanjaka tompoko.
The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka narahin’ ny ankohonany rehetra. Ary ny mpanjaka namela folo vavy tamin’ ny vaditsindranony hiandry trano.
The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 Ary nivoaka ny mpanjaka, ka dia nanaraka azy ny vahoaka rehetra, ary nitoetra teo Faratanàna izy.
The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 Ary ny mpanompony rehetra nandeha teny anilany, ka ny miaramila mpiambina andriana rehetra sy ny Gatita rehetra, dia enin-jato lahy izay nanaraka azy avy tany Gata, nandeha teo alohan’ ny mpanjaka.
All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ Itahy Gatita: Nahoana no ianao avy no mba miaraka aminay? Miverena, ka mitoera any amin’ ny mpanjaka; fa hafa firenena sady mpivahiny ianao; modia ho any amin’ ny fonenanao.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20 Fa vao omaly no nahatongavanao, ka anio va dia ho entiko manjenjena hiaraka aminay ianao? fa mandeha ho any amin’ izay azoko aleha aho, koa miverena ihany ianao, ary ento hiara-miverina aminao koa ny rahalahinao; ho aminao anie ny famindram-po sy ny fahamarinana.
Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21 Fa Itahy namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny mpanjaka tompoko, izay hitoeran’ ny mpanjaka tompoko, na ho faty na ho velona, dia any koa no hitoeran’ ny mpanomponao.
Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ Itahy: Andeha mandroso ary. Dia nandroso Itahy Gatita sy ny olony rehetra mbamin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy rehetra izay teo.
David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 Ary ny olona rehetra dia nitomany nikaikaika, ary nita ny vahoaka rehetra; ny mpanjaka koa dia nita ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona, ary ny vahoaka rehetra nandroso tamin’ ny lalana mankany an-efitra.
All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over towards the way of the wilderness.
24 Ary indro koa Zadoka sy ny Levita rehetra nanaraka azy nitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra. Ary nametraka ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izy ary Abiatara niakatra mandra-pahatapitry ny olona rehetra avy tao an-tanàna.
Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Zadoka: Ento miverina ho any an-tanàna ihany ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra; fa raha mahita fitia eo imason’ i Jehovah aho, dia mbola ho entiny miverina ihany, ka hasehony ahy iny sy ny fitoerany.
The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favour in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26 Fa raha izao kosa no lazainy: Tsy sitrako ianao, dia inty aho, aoka Izy hanao amiko araka izay ataony ho tsara.
but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27 Ary hoy koa ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Zadoka mpisorona: Tsy mpahita va ianao? miverena soa aman-tsara any an-tanàna ianao mbamin’ ny zanakareo roa lahy miaraka aminareo, dia Ahimaza zanakao sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Abiatara.
The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Indro, izaho hijanonjanona eny amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay teny avy atỳ aminareo hambara amiko.
Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 Ary Zadoka sy Abiatara nitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra niverina nankany Jerosalema ihany; dia nitoetra tany izy.
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 Ary Davida niakatra teny an-tendrombohitra Oliva ka nitomany teny am-piakarana ary nisaron-doha sady nandeha tsy nikiraro; ary ny vahoaka rehetra izay nanaraka azy samy nisaron-doha sy niakatra ary nitomany teny am-piakarana avokoa.
David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Ahitofela koa mba isan’ ny mpiray tetika amin’ i Absaloma. Dia hoy Davida: Mitaraina aminao aho, Jehovah ô, ampodio ho fahadalana ny hevitra ataon’ i Ahitofela.
Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is amongst the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 Ary nony tonga teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Davida, dia teo amin’ izay fivavahan’ ny olona tamin’ Andriamanitra, indro, avy hitsena azy Hosay Arkita, voatriatra ny akanjony sady nihosin-tany ny lohany;
When David had come to the top, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33 ary hoy Davida taminy: Raha miara-mandroso amiko ianao, dia ho tonga enta-mavesatra amiko;
David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 fa raha hiverina any an-tanàna kosa ianao ka hanao amin’ i Absaloma hoe: Ho mpanomponao aho, ry mpanjaka; efa mpanompon’ ny rainao ihany aho taloha, fa ankehitriny kosa dia mpanomponao, aho dia hofoananao hahasoa ahy ny hevitra ataon’ i Ahitofela.
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35 Ary tsy ao aminao va Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona? Koa izay zavatra rehetra renao avy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, dia ambarao amin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona.
Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Indreo, any aminy ny zanany roa lahy, dia Ahimaza, zanak’ i Zadoka, sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Abiatara; ary izy no hampitondrainareo izay rehetra renareo ho atỳ amiko.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37 Koa dia tonga tany an-tanàna Hosay, sakaizan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny nahatongavan’ i Absaloma tany Jerosalema.
So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
