2 Samoela 19
1 Sinaontsy am’ Ioabe ty hoe: Inay! mirovetse naho mandala i Absalome ty mpanjaka.
And it was told Joab, —Lo! the king, is weeping and mourning over Absolom.
2 Aa le nifotetse ho fandalàñe i fandreketañey, kanao jinanji’ ondatio amy andro zay ty hoe, Mirovetse i ana’ey i mpanjakay.
So the victory, on that day, was turned into mourning, with all the people, —for the people heard, on that day, saying, The king is distressed for his son.
3 Aa le ninankañe avao ondatio t’ie nimoak’ amy rovay, manahake ty fimeñara’ ondaty miponiotse añ’alio.
And the people stole away, on that day, to go into the city, —as people steal away who are put to shame, when they flee in battle.
4 Sinaro’ i mpanjakay ty lahara’e, vaho nikoaike ty fangoihoy nanao ty hoe: O Absalome anako, O Absalome amoriko, anako!
But, the king, muffled his face, and the king made outcry, with a loud voice, —O my son Absolom, O Absolom, my son, my son!
5 Aa le nimoak’ amy trañoy t’Ioabe mb’amy mpanjakay ao, nanao ty hoe: Nampisalare’o ty lahara’ o mpitoro’o iabio, ie namoe ay ho azo naho ho ami’ty fiai’ o ana-dahi’oo naho o anak’ ampela’oo naho ty fiai’ o tañanjomba’oo vaho ty fiai’ o sakeza’oo;
Then came Joab unto the king, in the house, —and said—Thou hast, to-day, covered with shame the faces of all thy servants, who have rescued thy life to-day, and the lives of thy sons and thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
6 amy te kokoa’o o malaiñ’ azoo, naho heje’o o mikoko azoo. Fa nitseize’o anindroany te tsy vente’e ama’o o roandriañeo naho o mpitoroñeo; le rendreko androany t’ie niveloñe t’i Absalome vaho nikoromake iaby zahay le ho nifale irehe.
by loving them who hated thee, and hating them who loved thee, —for thou hast declared, to-day, that, nothing to thee, are princes or servants, for I perceive, to-day, that, if, Absolom, had lived, and, all we, to-day had died, that, then, it had been right in thine eyes.
7 Aa le miongaha, miavota naho misaontsia ami’ty arofo’ o mpitoro’oo; fa ifantàko am’ Iehovà, naho tsy iavota’o, leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy hialeñe ama’o atoy; vaho handikoara’ ze haratiañe nifetsak’ ama’o ampara’ ty nahajalahy azo am-para’ te henane ty haloloañe hizò azo.
Now, therefore, rise—go forth, and speak unto the heart of thy servants, —for, by Yahweh, have I sworn, that, if thou do not go forth, not a man shall tarry with thee to-night, and this will be to thee, a greater misfortune, than all the misfortune that hath come upon thee from thy youth until now.
8 Aa le niongake t’i Mpanjaka, niambesatse an-dalambey eo vaho natalily am’ondaty iabio ty hoe: Inao! miambesatse an-dalambey eo i mpanjakay; le sindre niheo añatrefa’ i mpanjakay ondatio, ie fa songa nandrombake ty kiboho’e t’Israele.
So the king arose, and took his seat in the gate, —and, to all the people, was it told, saying—Lo! the king, is sitting in the gate. Then came all the people before the king, but, Israel, had fled every man to his home.
9 Niampohek’ amy zao ze hene ondatim-pifokoa’ Israele, fa hoe ty asa’ iareo: I mpanjakay ty nañafak’ an-tika am-pità’ o rafelahin-tikañeo, naho ie ty nandrombak’ an-tika am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio; ie amy zao fa nibañe añe t’i Absalome niakatse ty tane toy,
And it came to pass that all the people were reproaching one another, throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —the king, delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and, he, rescued us out of the hand of the Philistines, but, now, he hath fled out of the land, away from Absolom;
10 ie nihomak’ an-kotakotak’ ao i Absalome norizan-tika ho mpifehe antikañey. Aa vaho akore arè te tsy minday saontsy amy fampipoliañe i mpanjakaiy tika?
and, Absolom, whom we anointed over us, hath died in the battle. Now, therefore, why are, ye, silent as to bringing back the king?
11 Fe nampañitrike ty hoe amy Tsadoke naho amy Abiatare mpisoroñe t’i Davide: Misaontsia amo roandria’ Iehodao ty hoe: Manao akore te inahareo ro fara’e manese i mpanjakay holy mb’ añ’ anjomba’ey?—Amy te fa nivotrak’ amy mpanjakay ty saontsi’ Israele iaby t’ie hasese’ iareo mb’ añ’anjomba’e—
And, King David, sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Wherefore should ye be behindhand, in bringing back the king unto his home, —seeing that, the speech of all Israel, hath come unto the king, regarding his home?
12 longoko nahareo naho taolako vaho nofoko, aa vaho akore t’ie sehanga’e amy fampipoliañe i mpanjakaiy?
Mine own brethren, are ye, my bone and my flesh, are ye, —wherefore then should ye be behindhand in bringing back the king?
13 Le ano ty hoe amy Amasà: Tsy taolako ama’ nofoko v’iheo? Aa le hanoen’ Añahare amako, naho mandikoatse, naho tsy ho mpifeleke i valobohòkey hisolo Ioabe irehe.
And, unto Amasa, shall ye say, Art not, thou, my bone and my flesh? So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if thou become not, prince of the army, before me continually, instead of Joab.
14 Le nampiondrehe’e ty arofo ze hene’ ondati’ Iehoda hoe t’ie arofo’ ondaty raike; aa le nañiraha’ iereo i mpanjakay: Mimpolia irehe naho o mpitoro’o iabio.
Thus bowed he the heart of all the men of Judah, as one man, —and they sent unto the king, Return, thou, and all thy servants.
15 Aa le nimpoly i mpanjakay, nigodañe mb’ am’ Iordaney mb’eo. Niheo mb’e Gilgale mb’eo t’Iehoda, hifanalaka amy mpanjakay, hampitsahe’ iareo am’Iordaney i mpanjakay.
Then the king returned, and came as far as the Jordan, —and, Judah, came to Gilgal, to go and meet the king, to escort the king over the Jordan.
16 Nihitrike naho nindre nizotso amo nte-Iehodao t’i Simeý ana’ i Gerà, nte Beniamine, boake Bakorime hifañaoñe amy Davide mpanjaka.
Then hastened Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, —and came down, with the men of Judah, to meet King David.
17 Nindre ama’e mb’eo t’i nte-Beniamine arivo miharo amy Tsibà mpitoro’ ty anjomba’ i Saole, reketse ty ana-dahi’e folo-lim’ amby, naho ty mpitoro’e roapolo. Nihitrihitry mb’am’ Iordaney mb’eo iereo aolo’ i mpanjakay.
And, a thousand men, were with him, out of Benjamin, Ziba also, servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants, with him, —and they went through the Jordan, before the king.
18 Nibelobelo eo avao iereo nampitsake ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay, naho hitoloñe amy ze atao’e soa ampivazohoa’e. Nibabok’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay t’i Simeý ana’ i Gerà ie fa hitsake Iordaney.
But the ferry-boat kept crossing, to bring over the household of the king, and to do what was good in his eyes. And, Shimei, son of Gera, fell down before the king, when he had passed over the Jordan;
19 Le hoe re amy mpanjakay: Ehe te tsy hanan-kabò amako ty talèko; ko tiahi’o abey i haloloañe nanoe’ ty mpitoro’o amy andro niavota’ ty talèko mpanjaka am’ Ierosalaimey, ehe ko tana’ i mpanjakay añ’arofo’e ao izay.
and he said unto the king—Let not my lord impute to me iniquity, neither do thou remember the perverseness of thy servant, on the day that thou wentest out, my lord O king, from Jerusalem, that the king should lay it upon his heart.
20 Toe fohi’ ty mpitoro’o t’ie nanao hakeo; aa le ingo! izaho ty nizotso mb’etoa valoha’e amy anjomba’ Iosefe iabiy hifanalaka amy talèko mpanjakay.
For thy servant doth know, that, I, sinned, —lo! therefore, I have arrived to-day, as the first of all the house of Joseph, to come down to meet my lord the king.
21 Fe hoe ty navale’ i Abisaý ana’ i Tseroià aze: Tsy mone havetrake hao t’i Simeý, ty amy raha zay, ie namàtse i noriza’ Iehovày?
Then responded Abishai, son of Zeruiah, and said, For this, shall not Shimei be put to death, for that he cursed the Anointed of Yahweh?
22 Le hoe t’i Davide: Hatako akore nahareo ana’ i Tseroiào, t’ie hifandrafelahy amako henaneo? hohofan-doza hao t’indaty e Israele te anito? tsy apotako hao te mpanjaka’ Israele iraho androany?
But David said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, for ye would become to me, to-day, a very traitor! Shall there, to-day, be put to death a man in Israel? for do I not know, that, to-day, I, am king over Israel?
23 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Simeý, Tsy ho mate ‘niheo. Le nifanta ama’e i mpanjakay.
Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou shalt not die. And the king sware to him.
24 Nizotso hifanalaka amy mpanjakay ka t’i Mefibosete ana’ i Saole; tsy nihamine’e o fandia’eo, tsy niharate’e i somo’ey, tsy nisasà’e o siki’eo, boak’ amy andro niavota’ i mpanjakaiy ampara’ ty nimpolia’e am-panintsiñañe.
And, Mephibosheth, son of Saul, came down to meet the king, —he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor, his clothes, had he washed, from the day the king departed, until the day that he entered in peace.
25 Ie amy zao, naho fa nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao re hifanalaka amy mpanjakay, le nanoa’ i mpanjakay ty hoe: Aa vaho akore te tsy nindre amako irehe Mefibosete?
And it came to pass, when he entered Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest thou not with me, Mephibosheth.
26 Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ry talèko, mpanjakao, namañahy ahy i mpitorokoy; fa hoe ty mpitoro’o: ampidiaño borìke hionjonako mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo; ami’ty hakepefa’ o mpitoro’oo.
And he said, My lord, O king, my servant, betrayed me, —for thy servant said—I will even saddle me mine ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king, for, lame, is thy servant.
27 te mone nifosae’e amy talèko mpanjakay o mpitoro’oo; fe hoe anjelin’ Añahare ty talèko mpanjaka; aa le ano amako ze atao’o soa am-pihaino’o.
And he hath slandered thy servant, unto my lord the king, —but, my lord the king, is as a messenger of God, do therefore what is good in thine own eyes.
28 Fa toe mañeva ho mate am-pitàn-talèko mpanjaka ty anjomban-draeko iaby; fe najado’o amo mpikama am-pandambaña’oo ty mpitoro’o. Aa ino ty ho zòko? vaho ino ty hitoreovako amy mpanjakay?
For, when all the house of my father were nothing better than dead men, unto my lord the king, then didst thou set thy servant among them that used to eat at thy table, —what then have I further, by way of right, or to cry out any further unto the king?
29 Le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: Ino ty mbe talilie’o o azoo? Hoe iraho: ifanjarao’ areo amy Tsibà i taney.
Then the king said unto him, Wherefore shouldst thou speak any further of thine affairs? I have said—Thou and Ziba, shall share the land.
30 Le hoe t’i Mefibosete amy mpanjakay, Apoho ho rambese’e iaby kanao nitampoly am-panintsiñañe añ’anjomba’e ty talèko mpanjaka.
And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Even the whole, let him take, —now that my lord the king hath entered, in peace, into his own house.
31 Nizotso boake Rogelime t’i Barzilaý nte-Gilade vaho nitsake Iordaney ho a i Mpanjakay hanese aze hitsake Iordaney.
And, Barzillai the Gileadite, came down from Rogelim, —and passed, with the king, over the Jordan, to escort him over the Jordan.
32 Ondaty bey t’i Barzilaý, toe valompolo taoñe; ie ty namahañe i mpanjakay amy nipalira’e e Mahanaimey; ondaty jabajaba.
Now, Barzillai, was very aged, eighty years old, —and, he himself, had sustained the king, throughout his sojourn in Mahanaim, for he was, an exceeding great man.
33 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Barzilaý: Antao hiharo fitsak’ amako vaho ho fahanako e Ierosalaime ao.
So then the king said unto Barzillai, —Thou, come over with me, and I will sustain thee with me, in Jerusalem.
34 Le hoe t’i Barzilaý amy mpanjakay: Fire ty andro’ o taokoo t’ie hionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo mindre amy mpanjakay?
But Barzillai said unto the king, —Like unto what, are the days of the years of my life, that I should come up with the king, to Jerusalem.
35 Valopolo taon-draho androany; mb’e hahafijoboñe ty soa ami’ty raty hao? ho rey ty mpitoro’o tave hao ze hane’e ndra nome’e? mbe hahafitsanoñe ty fiarañanaña’ ondaty mibeko ndra rakemba misabo hao? aa manao akore arè te ho kilankañe mavesatse amy talèko mpanjakay ty mpitoro’o?
Eighty years old, am I to-day—could I discern between good and bad? or could thy servant taste what I might eat, and what I might drink? or could I hearken any more to the voice of singing men and singing women? Wherefore, then, should thy servant yet be a burden unto my lord the king?
36 Hindre hitsake Iordaney amy mpanjakay avao o mpitoro’oo. Ino ty hanambeza’ i mpanjakay ahy hoe izay?
Just a little way, will thy servant pass over the Jordan with the king, —but wherefore should the king recompense me with this reward?
37 Ehe adono himpoly ty mpitoro’o, hivetrake an-drovako marine’ ty kiborin-drae naho reneko ao. Fe ingo ty mpitoro’o Kimhame, angao hampitsahe’o aze ty talèko mpanjaka le ano ama’e ze satrin’arofo’o.
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father, and my mother. But here is thy servant Chimham—let him pass over with my lord the king, and do unto him that which may be good in thine eyes.
38 Aa le hoe i mpanjakay: Hindre hitsak’ amako t’i Kimhame, le hanoeko ama’e ze atao’o hahasoa; ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty ho paia’o amako le hanoeko.
Then said the king, With me, shall Chimham pass over, and, I, will do unto him that which shall be good in thine eyes, —and, whatsoever thou shalt choose to lay upon me, I will do for thee.
39 Nitsake Iordaney ondaty iabio, nitsake ka i mpanjakay naho norofa’ i mpanjakay t’i Barzilaý naho nitata aze vaho nimpoly mb’ an-toe’e añe.
And, when all the people had passed over the Jordan, then, the king, passed over, —and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and he returned unto his own place.
40 Aa le nigodam-b’e Gilgale i mpanjakay, le nindre ama’e nitsake mb’eo t’i Kimhame vaho songa nampitsake i mpanjakay o nte-Iehodao naho ty vaki’ o ana’ Israeleo.
And the king passed over to Gilgal, and, Chimham, passed over with him, —and, all the people of Judah, escorted the king, yea moreover, half the people of Israel.
41 Niheo mb’amy mpanjakay o ana’ Israele iabio, nanao ty hoe amy mpanjakay: Manao akore te nampikametse azo o roahalahi’ay nte-Iehodao, naho nampitsahe’ iereo Iordaney i mpanjakay rekets’ o añ’ anjomba’eo vaho ondati’ i Davide iabio?
Then lo! all the men of Israel, were coming unto the king, —and they said unto the king—Why did our brethren the men of Judah steal thee away, and escort the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
42 Le hoe ty natoi’ o nte-Iehoda iabio amo ana’ Israeleo: Amy te marine filongoañe ama’ay i mpanjakay; aa le ino ty mahabosek’ anahareo amo raha zao? nikama ami’ty drala’ i mpanjakay hao zahay? Nitambezeñe hao?
And all the men of Judah made answer unto the men of Israel—Because the king is, near of kin, unto us, wherefore, then, is it, that ye are angry over this matter? Have we, eaten, at the king’s cost? or hath he, bestowed any gifts, on us?
43 Le hoe ty natoi’ o ana’ Israeleo o nte-Iehodao, Manañe anjara folo amy mpanjakay zahay aa le ambone’ ty anahareo ty zo’ay amy Davide; akore arè ty añinjea’ areo anay, ie tsy niera ama’ay heike hampipoliañe i mpanjakan-tikañey? Mbe nasiake te amy saontsi’ o nte-Israleoy ty enta’ o nte-Iehodao.
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said—Ten parts, have we in the king, therefore, even in David, have we more right than ye. Why, then, made ye light of us, so that our word was not heard first as to bringing back our king? And, the words of the men of Judah, were fiercer than, the words of the men of Israel.
