2 Samoela 19
1 Sinaontsy am’ Ioabe ty hoe: Inay! mirovetse naho mandala i Absalome ty mpanjaka.
Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
2 Aa le nifotetse ho fandalàñe i fandreketañey, kanao jinanji’ ondatio amy andro zay ty hoe, Mirovetse i ana’ey i mpanjakay.
The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
3 Aa le ninankañe avao ondatio t’ie nimoak’ amy rovay, manahake ty fimeñara’ ondaty miponiotse añ’alio.
The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away 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!
The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, 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;
Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your 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.
in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
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 arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your 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.
Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
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,
All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
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?
Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
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—
King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
12 longoko nahareo naho taolako vaho nofoko, aa vaho akore t’ie sehanga’e amy fampipoliañe i mpanjakaiy?
You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring 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.
Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain 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.
He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your 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.
So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring 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.
Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried 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.
There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of 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.
A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come 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.
He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to 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 your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go 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?
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”
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?
David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
23 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Simeý, Tsy ho mate ‘niheo. Le nifanta ama’e i mpanjakay.
The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore 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.
Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home 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?
When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go 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.
He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
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.
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your 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 all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
29 Le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: Ino ty mbe talilie’o o azoo? Hoe iraho: ifanjarao’ areo amy Tsibà i taney.
The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide 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.
Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
31 Nizotso boake Rogelime t’i Barzilaý nte-Gilade vaho nitsake Iordaney ho a i Mpanjakay hanese aze hitsake Iordaney.
Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct 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 a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
33 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Barzilaý: Antao hiharo fitsak’ amako vaho ho fahanako e Ierosalaime ao.
The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you 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?
Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go 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?
I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
36 Hindre hitsake Iordaney amy mpanjakay avao o mpitoro’oo. Ino ty hanambeza’ i mpanjakay ahy hoe izay?
Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a 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.
Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
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.
The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
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.
All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to 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.
So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also 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?
Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men 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?
All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
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.
The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
