2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
Ary hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Aoka aho hifantina lehilahy roa arivo amby iray alina ka hiainga hanenjika an’ i Davida anio alina;
2 I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him shall flee. I will strike the king only,
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 back all the people to you, as a bride returns to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be 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 The saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Ary sitrak’ i Absaloma sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany.
5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says."
Kanefa hoy Absaloma: Mba antsoy kosa Hosay Arkita, ary aoka ho rentsika koa izay teniny.
6 When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken like this. Shall we do what he says? And if not, speak up."
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 said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."
Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsy mety ny hevitra nataon’ i Ahitofela tamin’ ity.
8 Hushai said moreover, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, 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 Look, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'
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 Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant 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 But, I strongly advise as follows, that all Israel be gathered together to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you personally go into battle.
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 on him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him we will not leave so much as 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 Moreover, if he be gone into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there isn't one small stone found 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 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil on 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 Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way.
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 send quickly, and tell David, saying, 'Do not lodge this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who 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 Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel; and a female servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David. For they might not be seen to come into the city.
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 But a boy saw them, and told Absalom. Then they both went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
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 The woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread out bruised grain on it; and nothing was known.
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 Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." When they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
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 It happened, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David. And they said to him, "Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled 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 David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who had not gone over the Jordan.
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 When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, and arose, and went home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.
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 David came to Mahanaim. Absalom passed over the Jordan, 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 Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Jether the Ishmaelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Jesse, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's 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 Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Absaloma nitoby tany amin’ ny tany Gileada.
27 It happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and Makir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
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 basins, and pottery utensils, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils,
Avy mitondra fandriana sy bakoly sy vilany tany sy vary hordea sy koba sy lango sy tsaramaso sy voanemba ary voanemba voaendy
29 and honey, and curd of the flock, and cheese of the herd. And they presented them to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and tired and thirsty in the wilderness."
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.
