2 Samoela 14
1 Nioni’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià te amy Absalome ty arofo’ i mpanjakay.
And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
2 Nañitrik’ amy Tekoý t’Ioabe, nangalake rakemba mahihitse boak’ añe, le nanao ty hoe ama’e: Miambane ama’o, ehe misarea mpandala, le mañombea sarom-pandalàñe, le ko mihosotse menake, fa mintse rakemba ela nandala vilasy;
and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman, and saith unto her, 'Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days mourning for the dead,
3 vaho akia mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, misaontsia an-tsata zao. Aa le napo’ Ioabe am-palie’e ty ho saontsie’e.
and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;' and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.
4 Aa ie nisaontsy amy mpanjakay i rakemba nte-Tekoý, le nibabok’ an-tane eo, nidrakadrakake nanao ty hoe: Oloro ry mpanjaka.
And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, 'Save, O king.'
5 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ino ty mañore azo? Le hoe re: Toe vantotse iraho, mate valy.
And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'Truly a widow woman [am] I, and my husband dieth,
6 Nanañ’ anadahy roe ty anak’ ampata’o, aa ie nifanehak’ an-kivok’ añe, tsy teo ty hampifanarake iareo fa zinevo’ ty raike ty raike namono aze.
and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death;
7 Ie amy zao, nitroatse niatreatre ami’ ty mpitoro’o o longo iabio nanao ty hoe: Aseseo i nañè-doza aman-drahalahi’ey hamonoa’ay ty amy fiain-drahalahi’e zinevo’ey, handrotsaha’ iareo ka ty mpandova. Izay ty hamonoa’ iareo ty sehangam-poroha mirekake, tsy hanañam-baliko ndra tahinañe ndra tariratse ambone tane atoy.
and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left — so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.'
8 Le hoe i mpanjakay tamy rakembay: Mimpolia mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo, le hamantoke ty ama’o iraho.
And the king saith unto the woman, 'Go to thine house, and I give charge concerning thee.'
9 Aa le hoe i rakemba nte-Tekoiý tamy mpanjakay: O ry talèko, mpanjaka, ee te ho amako ty hakeo naho ami’ty anjomban-draeko vaho halio tahiñe ty fiambesa’ i mpanjakay.
And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, 'On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.'
10 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ndra iaia ty hiatreatre azo, aseseo amako le tsy ho tsapae’e.
And the king saith, 'He who speaketh [aught] unto thee, and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any more to come against thee.'
11 Aa le hoe re: Miambane ama’o, ehe te ho tiahi’ i mpanjakay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, le tsy hijoy ka ty mpamale fate, tsy mone harotsa’ iereo i anakoy. Le hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, leo raik’ ami’ty maroi’ i ana’oy tsy hipok’ an-tane.
And she saith, 'Let, I pray thee, the king remember by Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy, and they destroy not my son;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth; if there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.'
12 Le hoe i rakembay: Mihalaly ama’o: adono hinday entañe raik’ amy talèko mpanjakay ty anak’ ampata’o. Le hoe re Misaontsia.
And the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant speak unto my lord the king a word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
13 Aa hoe i rakembay: Ino arè ty nikililia’o am’ondatin’ Añahareo o raha zao, t’ie, amy saontsy zay ty mete nampanan-kakeo i mpanjakay kanao tsy ampihitrife’e himpoly i naitoañey.
And the woman saith, 'And why hast thou thought thus concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back his outcast;
14 Amy te hivetrake zahay, manahake ty rano nadoañe an-tane, ie tsy mete tovizeñe; tsy mirihy ondaty t’i Andrianañahare; f’ie toe misafiry lalañe, soa tsy hatao añombelahi-mavo i naitoañey.
for we do surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
15 Aa kanao nimb’ etoa iraho nanese o entañe zao amy talèko mpanjakay, le amy te nañembañe ahy ondatio; le hoe iraho, Ho volañeko amy mpanjakay henaneo, hera hanoe’e ty halalim-pitoro’e.
'And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and thy maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king; it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid,
16 Amy te hijanjiñe i mpanjakay, handrombake i mpitoro’ey ampità’ indaty te handrotsak’ ahy naho i anakoy amy lovan’ Añaharey.
for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
17 Le hoe ty anak’ ampata’o: Ehe te hañohò ahy ty saontsin-talèko mpanjaka; fa hambañe ami’ty anjelin’ Añahare ty talèko mpanjaka, hahafitsikarake ty soa ami’ty raty; aa le ho ama’o abey t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.'
18 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy rakembay: Ehe, ko aetak’ amako ty hañontaneako azo. Le hoe i rakembay: Ehe misaontsia, ry talèko mpanjaka.
And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, 'Do not, I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;' and the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.'
19 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tsy ama’o amo raha zao hao ty fità’ Ioabe? Le hoe ty natoi’ i rakembay: Kanao veloñe ty arofo’o, ry talèko mpanjaka, tsy eo ty mahafitolike mb’am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia amy nisaontsie’ i mpanjakaiy; fa toe nihalaly amako t’i Ioabe mpitoro’o, ie ty nampipoke i entañe iaby zay am-bava’ o anak’ am-pata’oo;
And the king saith, 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answereth and saith, 'Thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, none [doth turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all these words;
20 ty hampiova ty tarehe’ i rahay ty nanoe’ Ioabe mpitoro’o o raha zao; toe mahihitse o talèkoo hoe hihin’ anjelin’ Añahare, hahafohina’e ze he’e an-tane atoy.
in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.'
21 Aa le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Ioabe: Mahaoniña arè, fa nanoeko; aa le akia, hitrifo añe i ajalahy Absalome.
And the king saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I pray thee, thou hast done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.'
22 Nibabok’ an-dahara’e mb’an-tane t’Ioabe naho nidrakadrakake, vaho nañandriañe i mpanjakay, le hoe t’Ioabe: Fohi’ ty mpitoro’o henaneo te nahatrea fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o ry talèko mpanjaka, ami’ty nanoe’ i mpanjakay i halalim-pitoro’ey.
And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, 'To-day hath thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his servant.'
23 Aa le niavotse t’Ioabe nimb’e Gesore mb’eo vaho nendese’e mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Absalome.
And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,
24 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ampitoliho mb’ añ’anjomba’e mb’eo re tsy hahatrea ty tareheko. Aa le nivìke mb’añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Absalome; vaho tsy niisa’e ty lahara’ i mpanjakay.
and the king saith, 'Let him turn round unto his house, and my face he doth not see.' And Absalom turneth round unto his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen.
25 Ie amy zao, tsy ia e Israele ao ty nahazo engeñe ami’ty faràm-binta’e naho tsy i Absalome, ie tsy nanan-kandra boak’ an-delam-pandia’e pak’ an-dengon’ añambone’e.
And like Absalom there was no man [so] fair in all Israel, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his crown there was no blemish in him;
26 Aa ie harate’e ty añambone’e—amy t’ie niharatse i añambone’ey am-pigadoñan-taoñe, amy te navesatse ama’e o maròi’eo, le nañitsifa’e—naho nandanja i maròi’ey le ni-roanjato amy fandanjam-panjakay.
and in his polling his head — and it hath been at the end of year by year that he polleth [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he hath polled it — he hath even weighed out the hair of his head — two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
27 Nisamak’ ana-dahy telo t’i Absalome, naho anak’ ampela raike, natao Tamare ty añara’e; ampela soa vintañe.
And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of a fair appearance.
28 Aa le nimoneñe roe taoñe e Ierosalaime ao t’i Absalome vaho tsy niisa’e ty lahara’ i mpanjakay.
And Absalom dwelleth in Jerusalem two years of days, and the face of the king he hath not seen;
29 Le nampihitrife’ i Absalome t’Ioabe, hañirake aze mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo; f’ie tsy nimete hiheo mb’ama’e; nampisangitrife’e fañindroe’e fe tsy nimete homb’eo.
and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king, and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come.
30 Aa le hoe re amo mpitoro’eo: Inao, marine i tetekoy ty tete’ Ioabe, akia ivaño afo. Aa le namiañ’ afo an-tete’e ao o mpitoro’ i Absalomeo.
And he saith unto his servants, 'See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he hath barley there; go, and burn it with fire;' and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
31 Niongak’ amy zao t’Ioabe, nimb’ añ’ anjomba’i Absalome mb’eo, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Aa vaho akore ty nanodora’ o mpitoro’oo i tetekoy?
And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and saith unto him, 'Why have thy servants burned the portion that I have with fire?'
32 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Absalome Ioabe: Inao! toe nampihitrifeko ami’ty hoe: Mb’etoa, hañirahako azo amy mpanjakay, hanao ty hoe: Ino ty nimpoliako boake Gesore añe? Ndra kitra’e mbe nitambatse añe; aa ehe ampahaoniño ahy ty lahara’ i mpanjakay; aa lehe aman-kakeo iraho, adono re hañoho-doza amako.
And Absalom saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? — good for me while I [am] there — and now, let me see the king's face, and if there is in me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.'
33 Niheo amy mpanjakay t’Ioabe, nitalily ama’e; aa le kinanji’e t’i Absalome naho nimb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo nidrodrètse mb’an-tane ty lahara’e añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, vaho norofa’ i mpanjakay t’i Absalome.
And Joab cometh unto the king, and declareth [it] to him, and he calleth unto Absalom, and he cometh unto the king, and boweth himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king giveth a kiss to Absalom.
