2 Samoela 19

1 Sinaontsy am’ Ioabe ty hoe: Inay! mirovetse naho mandala i Absalome ty mpanjaka.

And it is declared to Joab, 'Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;'

2 Aa le nifotetse ho fandalàñe i fandreketañey, kanao jinanji’ ondatio amy andro zay ty hoe, Mirovetse i ana’ey i mpanjakay.

and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, 'The king hath been grieved for his son.'

3 Aa le ninankañe avao ondatio t’ie nimoak’ amy rovay, manahake ty fimeñara’ ondaty miponiotse añ’alio.

And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;

4 Sinaro’ i mpanjakay ty lahara’e, vaho nikoaike ty fangoihoy nanao ty hoe: O Absalome anako, O Absalome amori­ko, anako!

and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth — 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;

And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, 'Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life 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.

to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were 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.

'And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that — thou art not going out — there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this [is] worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee from thy youth till 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.

And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all the people they have declared, saying, 'Lo, the king is sitting in the gate;' and all the people come in before the king, and Israel hath fled, each to his tents.

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 cometh to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, 'The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of the land because of 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?

and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are ye silent — to bring 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, Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house; )

12 longoko nahareo naho taolako vaho nofoko, aa vaho akore t’ie sehanga’e amy fampipoliañe i mpanjakaiy?

my brethren ye [are], my bone and my flesh ye [are], and why are ye 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.

And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days 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.

And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send unto the king, 'Turn back, 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.

And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan, and Judah hath come 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.

and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh 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 [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over 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.

And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into 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 saith unto the king, 'Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, — for the king to set [it] unto 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 hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, 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?

And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, 'For this is not Shimei put to death — because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?'

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?

And David saith, 'What — to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known 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.

And the king saith unto Shimei, 'Thou dost not die;' and the king sweareth 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 hath come down to meet the king — and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came 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 cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king saith to him, 'Why didst thou not 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.

And he saith, 'My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it, and go with the king, for thy 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.

and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine 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 the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I any more — even to cry any more 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.

And the king saith to him, 'Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba — share ye the field.'

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 saith unto the king, 'Yea, the whole let him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto his 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 hath gone down from Rogelim, and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;

32 Ondaty bey t’i Barzilaý, toe valompolo taoñe; ie ty namahañe i mpanjakay amy nipalira’e e Mahanaimey; ondaty jabajaba.

and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;

33 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Barzilaý: Antao hiharo fitsak’ amako vaho ho fahanako e Ierosalaime ao.

and the king saith unto Barzillai, 'Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained 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?

And Barzillai saith unto the king, 'How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I 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?

A son of eighty years I [am] to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for 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?

As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?

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, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, — and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which [is] 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.

And the king saith, 'With me doth Chimham go over, and I do to him that which [is] good in thine eyes, yea, all that thou dost fix on me I do to 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 all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and blesseth him, and he turneth back to his 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 passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of 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?

And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king, and they say unto the king, 'Wherefore have they stolen thee — our brethren, the men of Judah?' (and they bring 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 answer against the men of Israel, 'Because the king [is] near unto us, and why [is] this — ye are displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the king's [substance?] a gift hath he lifted up to 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 answer the men of Judah, and say, 'Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word hath not been first to bring back our king?' And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
