2 Samoela 17
1 Tinovo’ i Ahitofele amy Absalome ty hoe: Angao ho joboñeko ty lahilahy rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo henaneo, le anito haleñe
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me, I pray, choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David to-night;
2 ty hivotrahako ama’e, ie mokotse naho am-pitàñe maleme, hampangebakebak’ aze; le hitriban-day ondaty iaby mindre ama’eo vaho i mpanjakay avao ty ho lafaeko;
and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;
3 le hampoliko ama’o ondaty iabio; aa ie fonga nitampoly ondatio naho tsy i paia’oy avao, le hene hanintsiñe ondatio.
and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace.
4 Nitea’ i Absalome naho ze hene mpiaolo’ Israele i saontsy zay.
And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
5 Le hoe t’i Absalome: Kanjio henaneo t’i Khosaý nte-Ereke le ho janjiñen-tika ka ty ho saontsie’e.
And Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and we will hear also what he says.
6 Aa ie nipok’ amy Absalome eo t’i Khosaý, le hoe t’i Absalome ama’e: Nanao hoe zao ty Ahitofele; Horihen-tika hao i nisaontsie’ey? fa naho tsie le mitaroña.
And Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we carry out his word? If not, speak thou.
7 Le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Absalome: Tsy soa ty toro-hevetse natolo’ i Ahitofele henaneo.
And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.
8 Tinovo’ i Khosaý ty hoe: Fohi’o ty rae’o naho ondati’eo, t’ie fanalolahy, naho manahake ty dobe tinavañ’ anak’ an-kivok’ ao ty hafain’ afero añ’arofo’ iareo; toe mpañotakotake ty rae’o, vaho tsy hitoetse am’ ondati’eo.
And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
9 Oniño t’ie mietak’ an-kadaha ndra an-toets’ ila’e henaneo; aa ie vaho miambotrak’ am’iereo am-baloha’e, le hanao ty hoe ze mahajanjiñe izay: Fizamanañe ty zoeñe am’ondaty mañorike i Absalomeo;
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or some such place; and it will come to pass, when some of them fall at the first, whoever heareth it will say, There has been slaughter among the people that follow Absalom,
10 le akore amy zao i fanalolahiy, i aman-tron-dionay, kanao hitranake; fa songa fohi’ Israele te ondaty maozatse ty rae’o naho sindre fanalolahy o mpiama’eo.
and even the valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion shall utterly melt; for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
11 Aa le ty hoe ty fanoroako: te hifanontoñe ama’o t’Israele iaby boake Dane pake Beeresebà manahake ty faseñe añ’olon-driake ey ami’ty hatsifotofoto’e; le ihe ka ro ho mb’an-kotakotak’ ao.
But I counsel that all Israel be speedily gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
12 Aa le hivotrak’ ama’e tika amy ze toetse haharendrehañe aze; hipetak’ ama’e manahake ty fipetahan-jono an-tane; leo raike tsy hapon-tika ndra ie ndra o mpiama’eo.
And we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
13 Tovo izay he ie mitolila mb’ an-drova ao, le hene hinday taly t’Israele vaho ho kozozoten-tika mb’ am-bavatane ao ampara’ te tsy hanjoàñe vato kede.
And if he withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the torrent, until there be not one small stone found there.
14 Aa le hoe t’i Absalome naho o hene ondati’ Israeleo: Toe soa ty toro-heve’ i Khosaý nte-Ereke te amy tolo-keve’ i Akitofeley—amy te linili’ Iehovà ty handreketañe ty toro-hevetse soa’ i Akitofele, hametsaha’ Iehovà hankàñe amy Absalome.
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, in order that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.
15 Aa le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe: Zao naho zao ty natoro’ i Akitofele amy Absalome naho amo roandria’ Israleo; vaho zao naho zao ka ty natoloko.
And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
16 Aa le mañitrifa masìka, vaho ano ty hoe amy Davide: Ko mitoetse amo montom-patrambeio te anito haleñe, fa mitsàha ndra manao akore; tsy mone habotseke i mpanjakay naho ze hene ondaty mindre ama’e.
And now send quickly, and tell David saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
17 Ie amy zao, nitoboke e En-drogele t’Ionatane naho i Akimatse; naho nimpiheo am’ iereo ty mpitoroñe nitalily; le nimb’ amy Davide mpanjaka añe ka iereo nitalily, soa tsy ho oniñe mimoake amy rovay.
And Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and the maid went and told them; and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city.
18 Fe nitrea’ ty ajalahy le natalili’e amy Absalome; aa le nivoratsake iereo naho nivotrak’ añ’anjomba’ ondaty e Bakorime ze amam-bovoñe an-toe’e vaho nizotso ao.
But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
19 Rinambe’ ty rakemba ty tako’e naho nakape’e am-bava’ i vovoñey, vaho naparatsa’e ambone’e eo ty tsako lisañe; le tsy nifohiñe.
And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known.
20 Pok’ amy rakembay amy anjombay ty mpitoro’ i Absalome nanao ty hoe: Aia t’i Akimatse naho Ionatane? Le hoe i rakembay tam’ iereo: Fa nitsake i torahan-dranoy iereo. Aa le nitsoeke fe tsy nahaisake le nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find [them], and returned to Jerusalem.
21 Aa ie nienga, le niakatse i vovoñey iereo vaho nionjomb’eo nitalily amy Davide; le nanao ty hoe amy Davide: Miongaha, masikà, itsaho i ranoy; fa inao ty toro-heve’ i Akitofele ty ama’o.
And it came to pass after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
22 Aa le niongake t’i Davide, rekets’ o hene’ ondaty nindre ama’eo, vaho nitsake Iordaney; aa ie niporea’ ty maraindray leo raike tsy nipoke tsy tafatsake Iordaney.
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there was not one of them missing that had not gone over the Jordan.
23 Aa naho nioni’ i Akitofele te tsy noriheñe i toro-heve’ey, nidiaña’e i borìke’ey naho nimpoly mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’ an-drova’e añe, le nambine’e i anjomba’ey, vaho nameo vatañe; nihomake, naho nalentek’ an-kiborin-drae’e ao.
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went to his house, to his city, and gave charge to his household, and hanged himself, and he died; and he was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24 Ie pok’e Maknaime añe t’i Davide vaho nitsake Iordaney t’i Absalome, mindre amo fonga’ ondati’ Israeleo.
And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25 Nampifehè’ i Absalome i valobohòkey t’i Amasà hasolo Ioabe. Ana’ t’i ana’ Israele atao Iterà nimoak’ amy Abigale ana’ i Nakase, rahavave’ i Tseroià, rene’ Ioabey t’i Amasà.
And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
26 Aa le nañoren-kibohotse an-tane Gilade ao t’Israele naho i Absalome.
And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
27 Ie fa nivotrake e Maknaime t’i Davide le niheo mb’eo t’i Sobý ana’ i Nakase afo’ i Rabà, nte Amone naho i Makire, ana’ i Amiele nte-Lodebàre vaho i Barzilas nte-Gilade boake Rogelime
And as soon as David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28 ninday tihy naho sajoa naho valàñe tane naho vare-bolè naho vare hordea naho lilañe naho tsako-tono naho antake naho mahalay naho poataran’ ampemba
brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],
29 naho tantele naho ronono dero naho añondry vaho habobon’ añombe amy Davide naho ondaty nindre ama’e iabio, hikama, ami’ty asa’ iareo ty hoe: Fa saliko naho mifoezapoezake vaho taliñiereñe ondaty am-patrambeio.
and honey, and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine to David, and to the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.
