2 Samoela 20
1 Aa teo t’indaty nte-Beliale, i Sebà ty añara’e, ana’ i Bikrý nte-Ieminý, ie nampipopo tsifan’ añondry nitsey ty hoe: Tsy aman’ anjara amy Davide tika, vaho tsy aman-dova amy ana’ Iesey. Vonjeo ty kiboho’o ry Israeleo.
And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 Aa le nisitak’ amy Davide o ana’ Israele iabio vaho nañorike i Sebà, ana’ i Bikrý; fe nipitek’ amy mpanjaka’ey t’Iehoda boak’ am’ Iordaney pake Ierosalaime.
So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah joined to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 Ie nitotsak’ añ’ anjomba’e Ierosalaime ao t’i Davide le rinambe’ i mpanjakay i rakemba folo nisakeza’e rey, i nenga’e ao hañambeñe i anjombay rey naho nagorogoda’e an-traño nigaritañe naho nifahana’e, f’ie tsy nimoak’ am’ iereo ka. Le songa nigabeñe ao ampara’ te nivetrake, ie niveloñe ho vantotse avao.
And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Hoe i mpanjakay amy Amasà: Koiho o lahilahy nte-Iehodao hifanontoñe atoy añate’ ty telo andro, le miatrefa ka.
Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be you here present.
5 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Amasà hikanjy o nte-Iehodao hivory; f’ie nitambatse añe mandikoatse i andro nafè’e azey.
So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abisay: Ie amy zao, handikoara’ i Seba ana’ i Bikrý ty joy nanoe’ i Absalome; rambeso arè o mpitoro’ i talè’oio, vaho horidaño, tsy mone ho rambese’e o rova aman-kijolio, vaho hipoliotse tsy ho onin-tika.
And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take you your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7 Aa le niavotse hañoridañe aze ondati’ Ioabeo, naho o nte-Kereteo naho o nte-Peleteo, vaho o fanalolahy iabio; niakatse Ierosalaime hañoridañe i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý.
And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 Ie nivotrak’ an-damilamy jabajaba’ i Gibone eo, le nimb’eo t’i Amasà nifanalaka am’ iereo. Nisikiñe o sarom-pialiañe fiombea’eo t’Ioabe, ama’e ty fiètse reketse fibara an-kotra’e nidiañe an-toha’e ao; aa ie nionjomb’eo le napontsoa’e.
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded to him, and on it a girdle with a sword fastened on his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9 Le hoe t’Ioabe amy Amasà: Akore v’iheo rahalahiko? Le rinambe’ Ioabe am-pità’e havana ty volon-tsomo’ i Amasà hañorofa’e aze.
And Joab said to Amasa, Are you in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
10 Fe tsy nioni’ i Amasà ty fibara am-pità’ Ioabe; aa le trinofa’e ambane’ ty pa’e fahalime ao, naho nivorotrak’ an-tane o aova’eo vaho tsy nipaok’ aze fañindroe’e; fa nihomake. Nañinjake i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý t’Ioabe naho i Abisay rahalahi’e.
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 Nijohañe eo ty ajalahi’ Ioabe nanao ty hoe; Ze miantoke Ioabe naho mpiamy Davide, ee te horihe’e t’Ioabe.
And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favors Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12 Nilomoloañe an-dio’e añivo’ i lalañey t’i Amasà. Aa ie niisa’e te nijohañe ama’e avao ze hene ondaty le nijinie’e t’i Amasà naho nente’e alafe’ i lalañey mb’ an-teteke mb’eo vaho nañifike saroñe ama’e, amy te nioni’e te fonga nijohañe eo avao ze nañarine aze.
And Amasa wallowed in blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth on him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
13 Aa ie navike tsy ho an-dalañey le norihe’ ondaty iabio t’Ioabe, hañoridañe i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý.
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 Niranga ze hene fifokoa’ Israele re pak’ Abele, naho e Betemaakà, naho amo nte-Berìo; aa le nifanontoñe iereo, nanonjohy aze.
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 Nionjomb’ eo iereo haname aze e Abele’ i Betemaakà ao, nampitoboarañe tamboho i rovay, le tiname’ ondaty iabio i kijoliy; finofo’ ze hene’ ondati’ Ioabe i kijoliy handrotsak’ aze.
And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
16 Nikaik’ amy zao ty rakemba mahihitse boak’ amy rovay, ty hoe: Eo hey nahareo, mijanjiña, taroño am’ Ioabe ty hañarine mb’etoa, hivolañako.
Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near here, that I may speak with you.
17 Aa ie niharinea’e le hoe i rakembay: Ioabe v’iheo? Le namale re: Izaho ‘nio. Le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño ty enta’ o anak’ ampata’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e, Mitsanon-draho.
And when he was come near to her, the woman said, Are you Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
18 Aa le hoe re, Sinaontsi’ o taoloo ty ti-hoe: Ie aman’ ontane, añontaneo e Abele ao: izay ty fampigadoña’ iareo.
Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
19 Mpiamo mpampilongo migahiñe e Israeleo atoan-draho; aa mipay handrotsake rova naho ty rene raike e Israele ao v’iheo, Ino ty hampigodraña’o ty lova’ Iehovà?
I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why will you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
20 Natoi’ Ioabe ty hoe: Mitotse amako izay; lavitse ahy t’ie hagodrako ndra harotsako.
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 Tsy izay o rahao; fe nañonjo haoke hiatreatre i Davide mpanjaka t’indaty boak’ am-bohibohitse ao, i Sebà ana’ i Bikrý ty tahina’e. Aa le ie avao ty aseseo. Le hoe i rakembay am’ Ioabe: Ingo, hahiririñe ama’o hiranga o kijolio ty añambone’e.
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
22 Aa le nimb’ am’ ondaty iabio i rakembay amy fahiti’ey. Le kinitsi’ iareo ty añambone’ i Sebà ana’i Bikrý vaho natorake mb’ am’ Ioabe ao. Pinopò’e amy zao i antsivay, le niparaitake boak’ amy rovay ondatio, songa mb’an-kiboho’e añe. Nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo t’Ioabe.
Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 Ie amy zao: mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ Israele t’Ioabe vaho nifeleke o nte-Kereteo naho o nte-Peleteo t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà;
Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
24 i Adorame ty mpifelek’ i habay vaho mpamolily t’Iehosafate, ana’ i Aklode;
And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
25 mpanokitse t’i Seva, le mpisoroñe t’i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare;
And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
26 mpifehe amy Davide ka t’Irà nte-Iaire.
And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
