2 Samoela 16

1 Ary nony vao nihilana kely avy teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Davida, indro, Ziba, mpanompon’ i Mefiboseta, nitsena azy mitondra boriky roa voaisy lasely sady ampitondraina mofo roan-jato sy voaloboka maina zato sampaho sy voankazo masaka fahavaratra zato ary divay iray tavoara.

And David he passed on a little from the top and there! Ziba [the] servant of Mephi-bosheth to meet him and a pair of donkeys [were] saddled and [were] on them two hundred bread[s] and one hundred bunches of raisins and one hundred summer fruit and a skin of wine.

2 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Ziba: Ahoana no hevitrao amin’ ireto? Dia hoy Ziba: Ny boriky dia ho an’ ny ankohonan’ ny mpanjaka itaingenany; ary ny mofo sy ny voankazo masaka fahavaratra hohanin’ ny zatovo; ary ny divay hosotroin’ izay reraka any an-efitra.

And he said the king to Ziba what? [are] these [things] to you and he said Ziba the donkeys [are] for [the] household of the king to ride (and the bread *Q(K)*) and the summer fruit [are] to eat the young men and the wine [is] to drink the weary [person] in the wilderness.

3 Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Aiza ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao? Ary hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indro, mitoetra any Jerosalema izy; fa hoy izy: Anio no hampodian’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ny fanjakan’ ikaky ho ahy.

And he said the king and where? [is] [the] son of master your and he said Ziba to the king there! [he is] dwelling in Jerusalem for he said this day they will restore to me [the] house of Israel [the] kingdom of father my.

4 Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Ziba: Indro, anao izay rehetra an’ i Mefiboseta. Ary hoy Ziba: Trarantitra anie ianao, aoka hahazo fitia eto imasonao aho, ry mpanjaka tompoko.

And he said the king to Ziba here! [belongs] to you all that [belonged] to Mephi-bosheth and he said Ziba I bow down may I find favor in view your O lord my the king.

5 Ary nony nanakaiky an’ i Bahorima Davida mpanjaka, indro, nisy lehilahy, tamingan’ i Saoly ny anarany dia Simey, zanak’ i Gera nivoaka avy tao izy ka nanozona teny am-pandehanana.

And he came the king David to Bahurim and there! from there a man [was] coming out from [the] clan of [the] house of Saul and name his [was] Shimei [the] son of Gera [he was] coming out continuously and cursing.

6 Ary nitora-bato an’ i Davida mpanjaka sy ny mpanompony rehetra izy; ary ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny lehilahy mahery rehetra dia teo amin’ ny ankavanan’ ny mpanjaka sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.

And he stoned with stones David and all [the] servants of the king David and all the people and all the warriors [were] from right his and from left his.

7 Ary hoy ny fanozon’ i Simey: Mandehana, mandehana, ry lehilahy mpandatsa-drà sy tena ratsy fanahy!

And thus he said Shimei when cursed he get out get out O man of blood and O man of worthlessness.

8 Nataon’ i Jehovah manody anao izao ny ran’ ny tamingan’ i Saoly, ilay nodimbiasanao fanjakana; ary Jehovah nanome ny fanjakana ho eo an-tànan’ i Absaloma zanakao kosa; ary indro, efa idiran-doza izao ianao, satria mpandatsa-drà.

He has brought back on you Yahweh all - [the] blood of [the] house of Saul whom you have reigned (in place of him *Q(K)*) and he has given Yahweh the kingship in [the] hand of Absalom son your and here you [are] in calamity your for [are] a man of blood you.

9 Ary hoy Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Nahoana no avela hanozona ny mpanjaka tompoko io alika maty io? Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho handeha ka hanapaka ny lohany.

And he said Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah to the king why? will he curse the dog dead this lord my the king let me pass over please and let me remove head his.

10 Fa hoy ny mpanjaka: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianareo, ry zanak’ i Zeroia? Raha manozona izy, sady Jehovah no nanao taminy hoe: Ozony Davida, dia iza indray no hanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no manao izany?

And he said the king what? [is] to me and to you O sons of Zeruiah (thus *Q(K)*) he is cursing (for *Q(K)*) Yahweh he has said to him curse David and who? will he say why? have you done thus.

11 Ary hoy koa Davida tamin’ i Abisay sy tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra: Indro, ny zanako naterako aza mitady ny aiko, ka mainka io Benjamita io! Avelao ihany izy hanozona, fa Jehovah no nampanao azy izany.

And he said David to Abishai and to all servants his here! son my who he went out from inward parts my [is] seeking life my and indeed? for now [the] Ben-jaminite leave alone him so he may curse for he has spoken to him Yahweh.

12 Angamba Jehovah hamindra fo amiko ny amin’ ny heloko ary hamaly soa ahy noho izao ozona nanjo ahy androany izao.

Perhaps he will look Yahweh (on sin my *Q(K)*) and he will repay Yahweh to me good in place of curse his the day this.

13 Ary nony nandeha teny an-dalana Davida sy ny olony, dia nandeha tamin’ ny ilan’ ny havoana tandrifiny kosa Simey ka nanozona teny am-pandehanana sady nitora-bato nanandrify azy sy namafy vovoka.

And he went David and men his on the road. And Shimei [was] going on [the] side of the mountain parallel with him he went and he cursed and he stoned [them] with stones parallel with him and he dusted [them] with dust.

14 Ary dia tonga tao ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay nanaraka azy sady efa reraka, ka dia naka aina teo izy.

And he came the king and all the people which [was] with him exhausted and he refreshed himself there.

15 Ary Absaloma sy ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely dia tonga tany Jerosalema, ary Ahitofela koa dia teo aminy.

And Absalom and all the people [the] man of Israel they came Jerusalem and Ahithophel [was] with him.

16 Ary Hosay Arkita, sakaizan’ i Davida, dia tonga tao amin’ i Absaloma ka nanao taminy hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka! ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka!

And it was just when came Hushai the Arkite [the] friend of David to Absalom and he said Hushai to Absalom may he live the king may he live the king.

17 Fa hoy Absaloma tamin’ i Hosay: izao va no fitianao ny sakaizanao? Nahoana ianao no tsy mba nandeha niaraka tamin’ ny sakaizanao?

And he said Absalom to Hushai [is] this loyalty your with friend your why? not did you go with friend your.

18 Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsia, fa izay nofidin’ i Jehovah sa ireto vahoaka ireto mbamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, dia izy no hombako, sady ao aminy no hitoerako.

And he said Hushai to Absalom In-deed [the one] whom he has chosen Yahweh and the people this and every man of Israel (to him *Q(K)*) I will belong and with him I will remain.

19 Ary koa, iza indray no hotompoiko? Tsy eo anatrehan’ ny zanany va? Tahaka ny nanompoako teo anatrehan’ ny rainao no hanompoako eto anatrehanao koa.

And the second [thing] whom? I will I serve ¿ not before son his just as I served before father your so I will be (before you. *LAB(h)*)

20 Ary hoy Absaloma tamin’ i Ahitofela: Heveronareo tsara izay hataontsika.

And he said Absalom to Ahithophel give for yourselves counsel what? will we do.

21 Dia hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Midìra ao amin’ ny vaditsindranon-drainao, izay nampiandrasiny trano; dia ho ren’ ny Isiraely rehetra fa efa nanamaimbo tena eo anatrehan-drainao ianao, ka dia hahery ny tànan’ izay rehetra momba anao.

And he said Ahithophel to Absalom go into [the] concubines of father your whom he left to keep the house and it will hear all Israel that you have made yourself odious with father your and they will be strong [the] hands of all who [are] with you.

22 Ary dia nanorin-day ho an’ i Absaloma teo an-tampon-trano ny olona; ary Absaloma niditra tao amin’ ny vaditsindranon-drainy teo imason’ ny Isiraely rehetra.

And they pitched for Absalom the tent on the roof and he went Absalom into [the] concubines of father his to [the] eyes of all Israel.

23 Ary ny hevitr’ i Ahitofela izay nataony tamin’ izany dia hoatra ny manontany amin’ Andriamanitra; toy izany avokoa ny hevitra rehetra nataon’ i Ahitofela, na tamin’ i Davida, na tamin’ i Absaloma.

And [the] counsel of Ahithophel which he counseled in the days those [was] just as (he enquires anyone *Q(K)*) by [the] word of God [was] so all [the] counsel of Ahithophel both to David as well as to Absalom.
