2 Samoela 19

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

And it was told unto Joab, Behold, the king is weeping and he mourneth for Abshalom.

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 on that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard it said on that day, that 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 repaired by stealth on that day when coming into the city, as usually steal away the people who are ashamed 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 Abshalom, O Abshalom, 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 to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast covered with shame this day the faces of all thy servants, who have saved thy life this day, and the life of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life 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.

Since thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends: for thou hast declared this day, that thou hast neither princes nor servants; for I perceive this day, that if Abshalom were but alive, and we all were dead this day, that then it would have been just right in thy eyes.

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.

And now arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for by the Lord have I sworn, that if thou go not forth, there shall not remain one man with thee this night: and this would be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen 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 it unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king; but Israel fled, every man to his tents.

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 contending throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king hath saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he it was that hath delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from before Abshalom.

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 Abshalom, whom we had anointed over us, died in battle: and now why are ye silent about 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 Ebyathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why will you be the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is already come to the king, 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?

My brothers are ye, my bone and my flesh are ye: wherefore then will you be 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 to 'Amassa shall ye say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and may he thus continue to do, if thou shalt not be captain of the army 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 turned the heart of all the men of Judah, as of one man: and these sent unto the king, Return thou, with 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 as far as the Jordan; and Judah came to Gilgal, to go forth to meet the king, to conduct the king over the 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.

Then hastened Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bachurim, and went 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 with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they set hastily over the 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 the ferry-boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what was good in his eyes. And Shim'i the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was passing over the 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 he said unto the king, Let not my Lord impute it unto me as iniquity, neither do thou remember that in which thy servant acted perversely on the day that my Lord the king went forth out of Jerusalem, so that the king should lay 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 indeed sinned; and, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my Lord 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 Zeruyah spoke out and said, Shall Shim'i for this not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord'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 Zeruyah, that ye should become a hindrance this day unto me? shall this day any man be put to death in Israel? for do I not know that this day I am king over Israel?

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

And the king said unto Shim'i, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore 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 [grand] son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had not dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day that the king departed until the day that he came home 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 didst thou not go 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 Lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle for me the ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with 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 slandered thy servant unto my Lord the king; but my Lord the king is like an angel of God: do then what is good in thy 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 nothing but men deserving death with my Lord the king: and yet didst thou set thy servant among those that eat at thy own table. What other merit therefore have I, and what to complain of yet farther 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, For what purpose speakest thou yet thy words? I have said, Thou and Ziba shall divide the field.

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 the whole, since that my Lord the king is come [back] 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 Gil'adite came down from Rogelim; and he passed over the Jordan with the king, to accompany him over the 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 very aged, eighty years old: and he had sustained the king while he lay at Machanayim; 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 sustain thee near 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?

But Barzillai said unto the king, How many yet are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to 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 eighty years old this day: can I discern between good and evil? or can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? or can I listen yet to the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant become yet a burden unto my Lord 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 pass a little way over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with this 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 my own city, by the sepulchre of my father and of my mother. But, behold, thy servant Kimham will pass over with my Lord the king; and do to him what is good in thy eyes.

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 said, Kimham shall pass over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good in thy eyes: and whatsoever thou wilt desire of me, 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 passed over the Jordan, after the king had passed over; and 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 did the king pass on to Gilgal, and Kimham passed 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 conducted the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?

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 replied to the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye so angry for this matter? have we eaten the least from the king? 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, Ten parts have we in the king, and also in David have we more right than ye: why then did ye esteem us lightly? and was not our word the very first to bring back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
