2 Samoela 19

1 Ary nambara tamin’ i Joaba hoe: Indro, mitomany sy misaona an’ i Absaloma ny mpanjaka.

And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

2 Ary ny famonjena dia tonga fisaonana tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra androtrizay, satria ren’ ny vahoaka tamin’ izany andro izany hoe: Malahelo ny zanany ny mpanjaka.

And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.

3 Ka dia niakatra nisokosoko tao an-tanàna ny olona tamin’ izany andro izany, toy ny fisokosokon’ ny olona menatra raha mandositra amin’ ny ady.

And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

4 Fa ny mpanjaka nanarona ny tavany sady nidradradradra tamin’ ny feo mafy hoe: Ry Absaloma, zanako, ry Absaloma, zanako, zanako ô!

But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

5 Ary niditra tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao an-trano Joaba ka nanao hoe: Efa nomenarinao androany ny mpanomponao rehetra izay namonjy ny ainao androany sy ny ain’ ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ary ny ain’ ny vadinao sy ny vaditsindranonao;

And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;

6 fa ny mankahala anao no tianao, ary ny tia anao kosa no halanao, ka nasehonao androany fa tsinontsinona aminao ny manamboninahitra sy ny miaramila; ary hitako izao fa raha velona Absaloma, ka izahay rehetra no maty androany, dia izany no sitrakao.

In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

7 Koa mitsangàna ankehitriny, ka mivoaha, ary manaova teny soa amin’ ny mpanomponao; fa mianiana amin’ i Jehovah aho fa raha tsy mivoaka ianao, dia tsy hisy na dia iray akory aza hitoetra eto aminao anio alina; ka dia izany no ho mafy lavitra aminao noho ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anao hatry ny fony ianao vao zaza ka ambaraka ankehitriny.

Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by YHWH, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.

8 Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka nijanona teo am-bavahady; ary nolazaina tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Indro, ny mpanjaka mijanona eo am-bavahady. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Ary ny Isiraely dia samy efa lasa nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy.

Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.

9 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely nifanditra hoe: Ny mpanjaka no namonjy antsika tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalontsika, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina; nefa ankehitriny dia efa nandositra niala tamin’ ny tany izy noho ny amin’ i Absaloma.

And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.

10 Ary Absaloma, izay nohosorantsika hanjaka amintsika, dia efa maty tamin’ ny ady. Koa nahoana ianareo no tsy miteny akory ny amin’ ny hampodiana ny mpanjaka?

And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?

11 Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka tany amin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona ka nanao hoe: Ataovy amin’ ny loholon’ ny Joda hoe: Nahoana no dia ianareo indray no ho farany amin’ ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka ho any an-tranony? fa ny tenin’ ny Isiraely rehetra efa tonga tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranony

And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.

12 rahalahiko ianareo, ary taolako sy nofoko ianareo; koa nahoana no dia ianareo Indray no ho farany amin’ ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka?

Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?

13 Ary ataovy amin’ i Amasa koa hoe: Tsy taolako sy nofoko va ianao? Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy komandin’ ny miaramila eo anatrehako mandrakariva ho solon’ i Joaba ianao.

And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? Elohim do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.

14 Ary dia nampitodika ny fon’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda ho toy ny olona iray izy; ka dia naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Modia ianao sy ny mpanomponao rehetra.

And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.

15 Ary dia nody ny mpanjaka ka tonga tao Jordana; ary ny Joda tonga tao Gilgala hitsena ny mpanjaka hitondra azy hita an’ i Jordana.

So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.

16 Ary Simey, zanak’ i Gera, Benjamita avy any Bahorina, dia nidodododo nidina araka tamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda tsena an’ i Davida mpanjaka.

And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.

17 Ary nisy benjamita arivo lahy koa nanaraka azy, ary Ziba, mpanompon’ ny taranak’ i Saoly, mbamin’ ny zananilahy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy mpanompony roa-polo lahy izay nanaraka azy; ary dia nita an’ i Jordana teo alohan’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.

And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.

18 Ary navoivoy teo ny lakana hampitana ny ankohonan’ ny mpanjaka sy hanaovany izay sitrany. Ary nony efa hita an’ i Jordana ny mpanjaka, dia indro Simey, zanak’ i Gera, niankohoka teo anatrehany.

And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;

19 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Aoka tsy hisain’ ny tompoko heloka aho, ary aoka tsy hotsarovanao ny ratsy nataon’ ny mpanomponao tamin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko niala tany Jerosalema, ary aoka tsy ho eritreretin’ ny mpanjaka izany;

And said unto the king, Let not my master impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my master the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

20 fa fantatro, izaho mpanomponao, fa nanota aho; ka he! izaho no avy voalohany androany amin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa rehetra ka nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka tompoko.

For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my master the king.

21 Fa namaly Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, ka nanao hoe: Tsy hovonoina va Simey noho izany, satria efa nanozona ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy?

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed YHWH 's anointed?

22 Dia hoy Davida: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianareo, ry zanak’ i Zeroia, no tonga mpanohitra ahy ianareo anio? Tokony hisy olona hatao maty va eto amin’ ny Isiraely izao? Fa moa tsy fantatra va fa izaho no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely anio?

And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

23 Ary dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i simey: Tsy ho faty ianao. Ary ny mpanjaka dia nianiana taminy.

Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.

24 Ary Mefiboseta, zanakalahin’ i Saoly, nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka, ary tsy nanasa tongotra na namboatra volom-bava na nanasa lamba izy hatramin’ ny andro nialan’ ny mpanjaka ka hatramin’ ny andro nahatongavany soa aman-tsara.

And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.

25 Ary nony efa tonga hitsena ny mpanjaka ny avy any Jerosalema, dia hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no tsy mba nandeha niaraka tamiko ianao, ry Mefiboseta?

And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

26 Fa hoy izy: Ry mpanjaka tompoko, nofitahin’ ny mpanompoko aho: Hanisy lasely ny boriky aho hitaingenako ka hankany amin’ ny mpanjaka; fa malemy tongotra ny mpanomponao.

And he answered, My master, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.

27 Nefa nendrikendrehiny tamin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko izaho mpanomponao; fa ny mpanjaka tompoko dia hoy Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra; koa ataovy izay sitrakao.

And he hath slandered thy servant unto my master the king; but my master the king is as an angel of Elohim: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

28 Fa ny taranaky ny raiko rehetra dia samy olona tokony ho faty teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko; nefa ianao nampitoetra ahy mpanomponao ho isan’ izay mihinana amin’ ny latabatrao. Koa inona intsony no rariny ho ahy, ary inona no mbola hitarainako amin’ ny mpanjaka?

For all of my father's house were but dead men before my master the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?

29 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no lazainao indray ny raharahanao? Nefa izaho efa nilaza hoe: Hianao sy Ziba no hizara ny tany.

And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

30 Ary hoy Mefiboseta tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Aoka dia ho azy avokoa izy rehetra, fa ianao mpanjaka tompoko efa tonga soa aman-tsara ao amin’ ny tranonao indray.

And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my master the king is come again in peace unto his own house.

31 Ary Barzilay Gileadita nidina avy tany Rogelima, dia niara-nita an’ i Jordana tamin’ ny mpanjaka izy mba hanatitra azy hita an’ i Jordana.

And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.

32 Ary Barzilay dia lehilahy antitra, efa valo-polo taona; ary izy efa nanome hanina ny mpanjaka, raha nitoetra tany Mahanaima izy; fa mpanjatobe indrindra izy.

Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

33 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Barzilay: Andeha hiara-mita amiko ianao hovelomiko any amiko any Jerosalema.

And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.

34 Fa hoy Barzilay tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Hoatrinona intsony moa no andro hahavelomako, no hiara-miakatra amin’ ny mpanjaka hankany Jerosalema aho?

And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

35 Valo-polo taona izay ny andro nahavelomako, ka mahalala izay soa sy ratsy intsony va aho? Mahatsiaro ny tsiron-javatra haniko sy sotroiko intsony va aho mpanomponao? Mahare izay feon’ ny mpihiralahy sy ny mpihiravavy intsony va aho? Koa nahoana ny mpanomponao no mbola ho enta-mavesatra amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko?

I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my master the king?

36 Kely foana no handehanan’ ny mpanomponao eo an-dafin’ i Jordana hiaraka amin’ ny mpanjaka; koa nahoana ny mpanjaka no dia hamaly fitia ahy loatra toy izany?

Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?

37 Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho mpanomponao hody ihany ka ho fety any amin’ ny vohitro ao akaikin’ ny fasan’ ikaky sy ineny. Fa indro Kimama mpanomponao; aoka izy no hiaraka amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakao.

Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my master the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.

38 Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Handeha hiaraka amiko tokoa Kimama, ka hataoko aminy izay sitrakao, ary izay angatahinao dia hataoko ho anao.

And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

39 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nita an’ i Jordana. Ary nony tafita ny mpanjaka, dia norohan’ ny mpanjaka Barzilay sady notsofiny rano, ary dia lasa nody ho any amin’ ny fonenany izy.

And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.

40 Dia nandroso nankany Gilgala mpanjaka, ary Kimama niaraka taminy; ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda sy ny antsasaky ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely koa nanatitra ny mpanjaka.

Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

41 Ary, indreo, ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ Isiraely nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda, rahalahinay, no nangalatra anao ka nitondra ny mpanjaka sy ny ankohonany ary ny olon’ i Davida rehetra teny aminy hita an’ i Jordana?

And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?

42 Ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda dia namaly ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely hoe: Satria havanay akaiky ny mpanjaka; ka ahoana no mahatezitra anareo amin’ izany? Nadany ny mpanjaka va izahay? Na nanome zavatra anay akory va izy?

And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?

43 Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely kosa namaly ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda hoe: Izahay manana anjaram-polo amin’ ny mpanjaka; eny, izahay manana an’ i Davida mihoatra noho ianareo; koa ahoana ianareo no nanao tsinontsinona anay? Tsy izahay va no niteny talohanareo nampody ny mpanjakanay? Ary ny tenin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda dia lozaloza kokoa noho ny tenin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.

And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
