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, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle 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 Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
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, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore to 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.
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, 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 when king David came to Bahurim, behold, from there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed continually as he came.
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 cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Le hoe t’i Simý te namatse: Akia, soike! ty ondatin-dio, ty lokoforo tia;
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou worthless fellow:
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 returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
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.
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take 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 Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why hast thou 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 David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
12 Hera ho vazoho’ Iehovà ty hasotriako, vaho havaha’ Iehovà soa o famara’e ahy androanio.
It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing 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 as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
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 that were with him, became weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Fa nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao t’i Absalome naho ondaty iabio, o ana’ Israeleo rekets’ i Akitofele.
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel 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 it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the 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 Hushai, 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 Hushai said to Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, 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.
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Aa le hoe t’i Absalome amy Ahitofele: Misafiria; ino ty hanoen-tika?
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall 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 Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred by thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
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 Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of 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.)
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
