2 Samoela 15
1 Heneke zay, le nihentseñe’ i Absalome ty sarete reketse soavala naho lahilahy lim’ ampolo hihitrihitry aolo’e.
Now after this, Absalom got for himself a carriage and horses, and fifty runners to go before him.
2 Nitroatse maraindray t’i Absalome naho nijohañe añ’ ila’ ty lala’ i lalambeiy; ie amy zay, naho nanan-kabò t’indaty ze ho nasese’e amy mpanjakay ho zakae’e, le nikanjy aze t’i Absalome, nanao ty hoe: Aia ty rova nihirifa’o? le hoe re: Boak’ am-pifokoa’ Israele raik’ ao iraho.
And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 Le hoe t’i Absalome ama’e: Inao! soa naho to o azoo; fe tsy aman-tsorotà hijanjiñe azo i mpanjakay.
And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.
4 Hoe ka ty natovo’ i Absalome: Ee te izaho ty nanoeñe mpizaka an-tane’ atoy, soa te ho nimeako to ze ondaty miheo amako minday ty sisì’e ndra ty kabò’e.
And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!
5 Aa ie nañarine aze t’indaty hiambane ama’e, le nahiti’e ama’e ty fità’e, le namihiñe aze, vaho norofa’e.
And if any man came near to give him honour, he took him by the hand and gave him a kiss.
6 Nanoe’ i Absalome i sata zay amy ze nomb’ amy mpanjakay boake Israele iaby hipay to; aa le kinizo’ i Absalome ty arofo’ondati’ Israeleo.
And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Ie nimodo ty efa-taoñe, le hoe t’i Absalome amy mpanjakay: Mihalaly ama’o, ehe, adono homb’eo hañondroke i nifantàkoy, i nanoeko am’ Iehovà e Kebroney.
Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:
8 Fa nanao fanta ty mpitoro’o t’ie nitoboke e Gesore’ Arame añe, ami’ty hoe: Naho toe hampolie’ Iehovà mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo, le hitoroñe Iehovà iraho.
For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.
9 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Akia am-panintsiñañe. Aa le niavotse mb’e Kebrone mb’eo re,
And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he got up and went to Hebron.
10 fe mone nañirake mpitrobo amo hene fifokoa’ Israeleo t’i Absalome hanao ty hoe: Ie mahajanjiñe ty feon’ antsiva, le hanao ty hoe nahareo: Mpanjaka e Kebrone ao t’i Absalome.
But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
11 Nindre amy Absalome boake Ierosalaime ao ty lahilahy roanjato, songa nambarañe, f’ie nandeha an-tso-po, tsy nahafohiñe ty lengo’e.
And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.
12 Aa ie nañenga soroñe t’i Absalome le nahitri’e t’i Akitofele nte Gilò, mpanolo-keve’ i Davide, boak’ an-drova’e e Gilò añe. Le nihaozatse i kililiy amy te nitolom-pitombo ondaty amy Absalomeo.
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.
13 Niheo amy Davide amy zao ty mpitalily nanao ty hoe: Fa mañorike i Absalome ty arofo’ o nte’ Israeleo.
And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.
14 Le hoe t’i Davide amo hene mpitoro’e nindre ama’e e Ierosalaimeo: Miongaha, antao hibijoñe mb’eo tsy mone tsy hahafipoliotse amy Absalome tika; malisà nahareo hienga, hera hiambotraha’e aniany, hañoho-doza aman-tika, vaho ho lafà’e am-pibara ty rova toy.
And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.
15 Aa le hoe o mpitorom-panjakao amy mpanjakay: Ingo, te veka’e hanao ze satrim-panjaka talèko o mpitoro’oo.
And the king's servants said to the king, See, your servants are ready to do whatever the king says is to be done.
16 Aa le niavotse i mpanjakay vaho nañorik’ aze o añ’anjomba’e iabio. Fe nenga’ i mpanjakay ty rakemba sakeza’e folo hañambeñe i anjombay.
So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.
17 Nionjoñe mb’eo i mpanjakay, mitraok’ am’ ondaty nañorik’ azeo, le nitofa e Bete-hamerekàke ao.
And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.
18 Nioza ama’e o mpitoro’e iabio; o nte-Kerete iabio naho o nte-Pilisty iabio naho o nte-Gate iabio, i lahindefo enen-jato nañorik’ aze am-pandia boake Gate añe rey songa niary aolo’ i mpanjakay mb’eo.
And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.
19 Aa hoe i mpanjakay am’ Itaie nte-Gate; Ino ty indreza’o ama’ay? Mibaliha, mimoneña amy mpanjakay; fa renetane irehe, naho sese-tane boak’ an-toe’o añe.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why are you coming with us? go back and keep with the king: for you are a man of another country, you are far from the land of your birth.
20 Toe omale avao ty nivotraha’o eo, aa vaho hazìko hitrao fitroarañe naho fizotsoañe ama’ay irehe te anito, izaho miheo mb’amy ze mete? Mimpolia, ampibaliho miharo ama’o ka ondati’oo an-kasoa naho hatò.
It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.
21 Fe hoe ty natoi’ Itaie amy mpanjakay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ka ty talèko mpanjaka, le amy ze toetse itoera’ ty talèko mpanjaka, ke te fihomahañe he t’ie haveloñe, le toe ho eo ka ty mpitoro’o.
And Ittai the Gittite in answer said, By the living Lord, and by the life of my lord the king, in whatever place my lord the king may be, for life or death, there will your servant be.
22 Aa le hoe t’i Davide am’ Itaie: Akia mitsaha. Le nitsake mb’eo t’ Itaie nte-Gate rekets’ ondati’e iabio naho o keleiañe nindre ama’eo.
And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.
23 Nipoñafe’ i tane iabiy ty fangoihoiañe, le nitsake mb’eo ondaty iabio, naho nitsake i torahañe Kidroney ka i mpanjakay vaho songa nitsake, mb’ an-dalam-patrambey añe ondatio.
And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.
24 Nionjoñe mb’eo t’i Tsadoke rekets’ o nte-Levy iabio, nitarazo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey; le napo’ iareo ambane i vatan’ Añaharey vaho nañenga soroñe t’i Abiatare ampara’ te niakatse i rovay ondaty iabio.
Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.
25 Aa hoe i mpanjakay amy Tsadoke, Endeso mihereñe mb’an-drova ao o vatan’ Añahareo; fa naho mahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà iraho le hampoli’e mb’eo vaho songa hatoro’e ahy izay naho i anjomba’ey,
And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:
26 fe naho ty hoe ty hatao’e: Tsy mahafale ahy irehe; le intoy iraho; ee te hanoe’e amako ze satri’e.
But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.
27 Le hoe ka i mpanjakay amy Tsadoke mpisoroñe: Tsy oni’o hao? Aa le mimpolia mb’amy rovay ao ampanintsiñañe, ihe naho o ana-dahi’o roe mindre ama’oo, i Akimatse ana’o, naho Ionatane ana’ i Abiatare.
The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.
28 Inao te hihenekeneke amonto’ i fatrambeiy iraho ampara’ te mivotrak’ amako ze ho taroñe’o amako.
See, I will be waiting at the way across the river, in the waste land, till I get news from you.
29 Aa le nitarazoe’ i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo i vatan’ Añaharey vaho nitoetse ao.
So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.
30 Nionjomb’ amy fitroara’ i Vohits’ Olivey mb’eo t’i Davide nirovetse amy fiañambonea’ey mb’eo; nisaroñe ka ty añambone’e naho nañavelo tsy aman-kana; songa nisaron-doha ondaty nindre ama’eo, aa le nitroatse, sindre nangololoike am-pionjonañe mb’eo.
And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.
31 Teo ty nitalily amy Davide ty hoe: Mpiamo mpikilily miharo amy Absalomeo t’i Akitofele. Le hoe t’i Davide: O ry Iehovà, mihalaly ama’o, ehe te hafote’o ho hagegeañe ty tolo-keve’ i Akitofele.
And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.
32 Ie amy zao, fa an-dengo’ i fitroarañey t’i Davide, amy fitalahoañe aman’ Añaharey, le ingo, nifanalaka ama’e eo t’i Kosày nte-Ereke, niriatse iaby ty saro’e, naho deboke ty añambone’e eo.
Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:
33 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Aa naho mindre mitsak’ amako irehe, le ho entam-bey amako;
David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:
34 f’ie mibalike mb’amy rovay ao, vaho manao ty hoe amy Absalome, Ho mpitoro’o iraho, ry mpanjaka, hambañe amy nitoroñako aman-drae’o taoloy ty hitoroñako azo. Ihe amy zay ro hamaoke ty tolo-keve’ i Akitofele.
But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.
35 Aa vaho tsy hindre ama’o ka t’i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe? Aa le ze janji’o añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay, ro talilie’o amy Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe.
And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Ingo te mindre am’ iereo i ana-dahi’ iareo roe rey i Akimatse ana’ i Tsadoke naho Ionatane ana’ i Abiatare; ie ro hañitrifa’o amako ze he’e janjiñe’o.
See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.
37 Aa le niheo mb’ an-drova ao t’i Kosay rañe’ i Davide te antitotse himoake an-drova ao t’i Absalome.
So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.
