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 Absalom prepared him 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 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy 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 said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear thee.
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.
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
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 was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took 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 on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole 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 Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
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 thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will 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 unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, 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 sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth 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 went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
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, David’s counsellor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
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 hearts of the men of Israel are 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 unto all his servants that [were] with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite 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 unto the king, Behold, thy servants [are ready to do] whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
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 went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, [which were] 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 went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
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 beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed 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 said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile.
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 thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth [be] with thee.
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 answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy 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 and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that [were] 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 over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward 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 lo Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing 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 unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me [both] it, and his habitation:
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 thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto 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 also unto Zadok the priest, [Art not] thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy 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 tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29 Aa le nitarazoe’ i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo i vatan’ Añaharey vaho nitoetse ao.
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried 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 [mount] Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that [was] with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
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 [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
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 it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the top [of the mount], where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
33 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Aa naho mindre mitsak’ amako irehe, le ho entam-bey amako;
Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto 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 thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; [as] I [have been] thy father’s servant hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
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 [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, [that] what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell [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.
Behold, [they have] there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s [son], and Jonathan Abiathar’s [son; ] and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can 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 Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
