2 Samoela 16
1 Ie vaho nilosore’ i Davide ty lengo’ i vohitsey, te nifanalaka ama’e ty Tsibà mpitoro’ i Mefibosete reketse borìke roe nidiañe; am’ iereo ty boko-mofo roan-jato naho firotorotom-baloboke maike zato naho fitsindrohañ’ asara zato vaho ty zonjòn-divay.
And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold Siba the servant of Miphiboseth came to meet him with two asses, laden with two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs, and a vessel of wine.
2 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Tsibà: Hatao’o akore o raha zao? Le hoe t’i Tsibà: Ho amo añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakaio, hiningira’e o borìkeo, vaho ho fitendre’ o ajalahio o mofoo naho i fitsindrohañ’ asaray; le ho finoma’ ty midazidazìtse am-patrambey añe i divaiy.
And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king’s household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.
3 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Aa vaho aia i anan-talè’oy? Le hoe t’i Tsibà amy mpanjakay: Inao, mitoetse e Ierosalaime ao re, ami’ty asa’e ty hoe: Hampolie’ i anjomba’ Israeley amako te anito ty fifehean-draeko.
And the king said: Where is thy master’s son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: Today will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Tsibà: Ingo, azo iaby ze a i Mefibosete. Le hoe t’i Tsibà: Miambane ama’o, ehe t’ie hahatrea fañisohañe ama’o ry talèko mpanjaka.
And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king.
5 Aa ie nitotsake e Bahorime t’i Davide mpanjaka, ingo te boak’ ao t’indati’ i hasavereña’ i anjomba’ i Saoley, i Simý, ty tahina’e, ana’ i Gerà, nionjom-beo nitolom-pamatse.
And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on,
6 Tinora’e vato ka t’i Davide naho o mpitoro’ i Davide mpanjaka iabio naho ze hene’ ondaty vaho o fanalolahy ankavana’e naho ankavia’eo.
And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king.
7 Le hoe t’i Simý te namatse: Akia, soike! ty ondatin-dio, ty lokoforo tia;
And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial.
8 fa nabali’ Iehovà ama’o iaby ty lio’ i anjomba’ i Saoley, i nisoloa’o fifeheañey; naho natolo’ Iehovà amy Absalome ana’o i fifelehañey; vaho hehe t’ie tsinepake am-pikinià’o, amy te ondatin-dio.
The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood.
9 Aa le hoe t’i Abisaý ana’ i Tseroià amy mpanjakay: Aa vaho akore te amara’ ty amboa-mate tia i talèko mpanjakay? Angao iraho hitotok’ aze hañitsike ty loha’e.
And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head.
10 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Hataoko akore nahareo ana’ i Tseroiào? Apoho hamàtse, hera Iehovà ty nanao ama’e ty hoe: Ozoño t’i Davide; ia amy zay ty hanao ama’e ty hoe: Akore ty atao’o zao?
And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so?
11 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abisaý naho amo mpitoro’e iabio: Inao! mipay ty fiaiko i ana-dahiko niboak’ an-tsandrikoy, mentsake o nte-Beniamineo henanekeo? Apoho re hamatse ke nedrè’ Iehovà.
And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him.
12 Hera ho vazoho’ Iehovà ty hasotriako, vaho havaha’ Iehovà soa o famara’e ahy androanio.
Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day.
13 Aa le tinonjohi’ i Davide naho ondati’eo i liay, ie nifamalahañe ama’e añ’ ila’ i haboañey t’i Simeý namatse am-pandenà’e, naho nitora-bato aze vaho nampibobò deboke.
And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill’s side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth.
14 Ie amy zao nifoezapoezake i mpanjakay naho ze hene ondaty nindre ama’e vaho nañafa-kamokorañe eo.
And the king and all the people with him came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Fa nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao t’i Absalome naho ondaty iabio, o ana’ Israeleo rekets’ i Akitofele.
But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him.
16 Aa le niheo mb’amy Absalome mb’eo t’i Khosaý nte-Arkite rañe’ i Davide; naho nanao ty hoe amy Absalome t’i Khosaý: Lava havelo ry mpanjaka, lava havelo o mpanjakao.
And when Chusai the Arachite, David’s friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king.
17 Le hoe t’i Absalome amy Khosaý, Zao hao ty fiferenaiña’o an-drañe’o? Akore t’ie tsy niharo lia aman-drañe’o?
And Absalom said to him: Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18 Le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Absalome: Aiy, fe amy jinobo’ Iehovày naho am’ondati’eo naho amo ana’ Israele iabio ty hitoerako.
And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide.
19 Tovoñako ty hoe: Ia ty ho toroñeko? Tsy hitoroñe añatrefa’ i ana’ey hao iraho? Manahake ty nitoroñeko añatrefan-drae’o ty hanoeko añatrefa’o.
Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king’s son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also.
20 Aa le hoe t’i Absalome amy Ahitofele: Misafiria; ino ty hanoen-tika?
And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.
21 Le hoe t’i Ahitofele amy Absalome: Akia, miolora aman-tsakezan-drae’o; o nenga’e hañambeñe i anjombaio le ho janjiñe’ Israele iaby t’ie vata’e malain-drae’o; ie amy zay, hene haozatse ty fità’ o mpiama’oo.
And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.
22 Aa le nandafiha’ iereo kibohotse ambone’ i anjombay t’i Absalome; le nimoak’ amo sakezan-drae’eo t’i Absalome añatrefa’ Israele iaby
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father’s concubines before all Israel.
23 (Fa nanahake te nañontaneañe amy tsaran’ Añaharey, ty toro-heve’ i Ahitofele tañ’andro rezay; izay iaby ty fanoroan-keve’ i Ahitofele tamy Davide naho i Absalome.)
Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
