2 Samuel 17
1 Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,
Ary hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Aoka aho hifantina lehilahy roa arivo amby iray alina ka hiainga hanenjika an’ i Davida anio alina;
2 And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,
ary ho tonga ao aminy aho amin’ ilay izy mbola sasatra sy reraka iny, ka dia hotairiko; dia handositra ny vahoaka rehetra izay any aminy, ary ny mpanjaka ihany no hasiako;
3 And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.
dia haveriko ho etỳ aminao ny vahoaka rehetra miankina amin’ io lehilahy tadiavinareo io ny hiverenan’ ny vahoaka rehetra, ka dia hiadana ny olona rehetra.
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.
Ary sitrak’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.
Kanefa hoy Absaloma: Mba antsoy kosa Hosay Arkita, ary aoka ho rentsika koa izay teniny.
6 So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Absaloma Hosay dia hoy Absaloma taminy: Izao no hevitr’ i Ahitofela; ka hanao araka ny teniny va isika? Sa ahoana kosa no hevitrao?
7 Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.
Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsy mety ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela tamin’ ity.
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.
Ary hoy kosa Hosay: Hianao mahalala ny rainao sy ny olony, fa olona mahery izy sady masiaka tahaka ny bera very anaka any an-tsaha; ary lehilahy mpiady rainao ka tsy miara-mitoetra amin’ ny vahoaka raha alina.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.
Fa, indro, miery any an-davaka anankiray izy izao, na ao amin’ ny fitoerana hafa; ka raha misy resiny amin’ ny voalohany, izay mandre izany dia hanao hoe: Nahafatesana ny olona manaraka an’ i Absaloma,
10 Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.
ary na dia izay mahery ka manana fo tahaka ny fon’ ny liona aza dia ho ketraka tokoa; fa fantatry ny Isiraely rehetra fa lehilahy mahery rainao, sady lehilahy mahery koa ireny manaraka azy ireny.
11 Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.
Koa izao kosa no mba hevitro: Aoka hovorina ho eto aminao avokoa ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba, toy ny fasika amoron-dranomasina no hamarony; ka dia ny tenanao no hankany an-tafika.
12 So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.
Dia ho tonga ao aminy amin’ izay fitoerana anankiray hahitana azy isika, ka dia hilatsaka aminy toy ny filatsaky ny ando amin’ ny tany, ka tsy hasiantsika miangana na dia iray akory aza izy mbamin’ izay olona rehetra manaraka azy.
13 Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.
Fa raha miditra an-tanàna izy, dia hitondran’ ny Isiraely rehetra mahazaka izany tanàna izany, ka dia hotarihintsika ho any amin’ ny ony izany ambara-paha-tsy hisy na dia vato kely iray aza hita ao.
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.
Ary hoy Absaloma sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely: Tsara noho ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela ny nataon’ i Hosay Arkita. Fa efa notendren’ i Jehovah ho foana ny sain-dalina nataon’ i Ahitofela, hampidiran’ i Jehovah loza amin’ i Absaloma.
15 Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.
Dia hoy Hosay tamin’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona: Izany ka izany no hevitra nomen’ i Ahitofela an’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely; ary izao ka izao kosa no hevitra nomeko azy.
16 Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.
Koa maniraha haingana izao, ary ambarao amin’ i Davida hoe: Aza mitoetra any amin’ ny fitàna any amin’ ny efitra anio alina, fa mità faingana tokoa, fandrao ho levona na ny mpanjaka na ny olona rehetra any aminy.
17 Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.
Ary Jonatana sy Ahimaza nitoetra tao En-rogela; fa tsy sahy niseho tao an-tanàna izy; ary nisy ankizivavy anankiray nivoivoy nanambara taminy; dia lasa nandeha nanambara tany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka kosa izy roa lahy.
18 Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.
Fa nisy zazalahy iray nahita azy ka nanambara tamin’ i Absaloma; nefa lasa faingana izy roa lahy ka tonga tao an-tranon’ olona tao Bahorima, izay nisy lavaka fantsakana tao an-tokotaniny, dia nidina tao izy roa lahy.
19 And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.
Ary nalain’ ny vadin-dralehilahy ny rakotra ka narakony teo am-bavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana, ary dia nanahy koba teo amboniny izy, ka tsy nisy nahalala.
20 And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.
Ary nony tonga tao amin-dravehivavy tao an-trano ny mpanompon’ i Absaloma, dia nanao hoe: Aiza Ahimaza sy Jonatana teto? Fa hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tafita ny renirano kely izy izay. Ary nony efa nitady azy ireo ka tsy nahita, dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
21 And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.
Ary nony efa lasa ireo, dia niakatra avy ao amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy roa lahy, ka lasa nandeha izy, dia nanambara tamin’ i Davida mpanjaka hoe: Miaingà, ka mità faingana ny rano; fa izany no hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela hamelezana anareo.
22 Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.
Dia niainga Davida sy ny olona nanaraka, azy, ka nita an’ i Jordana izy; ary nony maraina ny andro, dia tsy tafita an’ i Jordana na dia olona iray aza.
23 Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.
Ary nony hitan’ i Ahitofela fa narahina ny hevitra nataony, dia nasiany lasely ny borikiny, dia niainga izy dia nody tany an-tranony tany an-tanànany; ary nanafatra ny ankohonany izy, dia nanaton-tena, ka dia maty ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fasan-drainy.
24 Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.
Ary Davida tonga tao Mahanaima. Ary Absaloma nita an’ i Jordana, dia izy sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely izay nanaraka azy.
25 And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.
Ary Amasa no notendren’ i Absaloma ho komandin’ ny miaramilany ho solon’ i Joaba; ary Amasa dia zanak’ ilay Isiraelita atao hoe Jitra, ilay nandry tamin’ i Abigaila, zanakavavin’ i Nahasy sady rahavavin’ i Zeroia, renin’ i Joaba.
26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Absaloma nitoby tany amin’ ny tany Gileada.
27 And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel
Ary nony tonga tao Mahanaima Davida, dia, indreo, tamy Soby, zanak’ i Amona, sy Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, avy any Lo-debara, ary Barzilay Gileadita, avy any Rogelima,
28 Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.
Avy mitondra fandriana sy bakoly sy vilany tany sy vary hordea sy koba sy lango sy tsaramaso sy voanemba ary voanemba voaendy
29 And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
sy tantely sy rononomandry sy ondry ary zanak’ omby ho an’ i Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy; fa hoy izy: Noana sy sasatra ary mangetaheta atỳ an-efitra ny vahoaka.
