2 Samoela 15
1 Heneke zay, le nihentseñe’ i Absalome ty sarete reketse soavala naho lahilahy lim’ ampolo hihitrihitry aolo’e.
And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run 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 Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgement, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city are you? And he said, 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 Abessalom said to him, See, your affairs [are] right and clear, yet you have no one [appointed] of the king to hear you.
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 Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge 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 it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
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 Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgement; and Abessalom gained 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.
And it came to pass after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.
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 your servant vowed a vow when I lived at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.
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. And he arose and went to Chebron.
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.
And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When you hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall you say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
11 Nindre amy Absalome boake Ierosalaime ao ty lahilahy roanjato, songa nambarañe, f’ie nandeha an-tso-po, tsy nahafohiñe ty lengo’e.
And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
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 Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
13 Niheo amy Davide amy zao ty mpitalily nanao ty hoe: Fa mañorike i Absalome ty arofo’ o nte’ Israeleo.
And there came a messenger to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
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 in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of 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, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] your servants.
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.
And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house.
17 Nionjoñe mb’eo i mpanjakay, mitraok’ am’ ondaty nañorik’ azeo, le nitofa e Bete-hamerekàke ao.
And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant 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 his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they 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.
And the king said to Ethi, the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for you are a stranger, and you has come forth as a sojourner out of your place.
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.
Whereas you came yesterday, shall I today cause you to travel with us, and shall you [thus] change your place? you did come forth yesterday, and today shall I set you in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go wherever I may go: return then, and cause your brethren to return with you, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly 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 Ethi answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wherever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall 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 the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude 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 all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on towards the way of the wilderness.
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.
And behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city.
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 Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will show me it and its beauty.
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 should say thus, I have no pleasure in you; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.
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.
And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, you shall return to the city in peace, and Achimaas your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
28 Inao te hihenekeneke amonto’ i fatrambeiy iraho ampara’ te mivotrak’ amako ze ho taroñe’o amako.
Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.
29 Aa le nitarazoe’ i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo i vatan’ Añaharey vaho nitoetse ao.
So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued 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 by the ascent of [the mount of] Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and 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 it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also [is] amongst the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray you, the counsel of Achitophel.
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.
And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having tore his garment, and earth [was] upon his head.
33 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Aa naho mindre mitsak’ amako irehe, le ho entam-bey amako;
And David said to him, If you should go over with me, then will you be a burden 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 shall return to the city, and shall say to Abessalom, Your brethren are passed over, and the king your father is passed over after me: and now I am your servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of your father, and now I [am] your humble servant—so shall you disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.
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, behold, [there are] there with you Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that you shall hear of the house of the king, you shall report it to Sadoc 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.
Behold, [there are] there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them you shall report to me every word which you shall hear.
37 Aa le niheo mb’ an-drova ao t’i Kosay rañe’ i Davide te antitotse himoake an-drova ao t’i Absalome.
So Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
