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
Moreover Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Do let me now select twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this 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 terrify him; so that all the people that are with him will flee; and I will smite the king alone;
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 unto thee: when all return [except] the man whom thou seekest, all the people will be in peace.
4 Nitea’ i Absalome naho ze hene mpiaolo’ Israele i saontsy zay.
And the thing was pleasing in the eyes of Abshalom, 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.
Then said Abshalom, Do call now also Chushai the Arkite, and let us hear what he likewise beareth in his mouth.
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 when Chushai was come to Abshalom, Abshalom said unto him, as followeth, Such words as these hath Achithophel spoken: shall we do after his words? if not, do thou speak.
7 Le hoe t’i Khosaý amy Absalome: Tsy soa ty toro-hevetse natolo’ i Ahitofele henaneo.
And Chushai said unto Abshalom, The counsel that Achithophel hath given at 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 Chushai said, Thou well knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and are of an embittered spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is also 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 now hidden in some one of the pits, or in some one of the [other] places: and it will come to pass, when some of them should fall at the first onset, that whosoever heareth it would say, There hath been slaughter among the people that follow Abshalom.
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 he also that is most valiant, whose heart is as the heart of the lion, would become quite discouraged; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they who are with him are valiant persons.
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 gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', like the sand that is by the sea in multitude: while thou in thy own person goest into the fight.
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 when we come upon him in some one of the places where he may be found, we will encamp around him as the dew falleth on the earth: and there shall not be left of him and of all the men that are with him 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 should withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the stream, until there be not found there even one small stone.
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 Abshalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chushai the Arkite is better than the counsel of Achithophel. But the Lord had ordained to frustrate the good counsel of Achithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring the evil upon Abshalom.
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.
Then said Chushai unto Zadok and to Ebyathar the priests, Thus and thus did Achithophel counsel Abshalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counseled.
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.
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but rather pass over at once; lest the king be entirely ruined, 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.
Now Jonathan and Achima'az were staying by 'En-rogel; and a maid-servant had to go and tell them, that they should go and tell king David; for they dared 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.
Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told it to Abshalom; but they went, both of them, quickly away, and came to the house of a man in Bachurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
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 wife took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and scattered ground corn thereupon; so that nothing was perceived.
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 Abshalom's servants came to the woman into the house, and they said, Where are Achima'az and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They are passed over the brook of water. And they sought, but could not find them; and they 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 were gone, that they came up out of the well, and went and told it to king David, and they said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Achithophel counseled 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 did David arise, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan: by the time the morning was light, not even one was lacking who had not passed 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 Achithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled the ass, and arose, and went home to his house, to his city, and gave his charge to his household, and hanged himself; and he died, and 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.
Then came David to Machanayim: and Abshalom 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 Abshalom placed 'Amassa instead of Joab as captain over the army: and 'Amassa was the son of a man, whose name was Yithra the Israelite, who had gone in to Abigal the daughter of Nachash, the sister of Zeruyah Joab's mother.
26 Aa le nañoren-kibohotse an-tane Gilade ao t’Israele naho i Absalome.
And Israel and Abshalom encamped in the land of Gil'ad.
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 it came to pass, when David was come to Machanayim, that Shobi the son of Nachash of Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and Machir the son of 'Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gil'adite 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 bowls, 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 cow's cheese, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
