2 Samuel 16
1 When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
Ary nony vao nihilana kely avy teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Davida, indro, Ziba, mpanompon’ i Mefiboseta, nitsena azy mitondra boriky roa voaisy lasely sady ampitondraina mofo roan-jato sy voaloboka maina zato sampaho sy voankazo masaka fahavaratra zato ary divay iray tavoara.
2 The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Ziba: Ahoana no hevitrao amin’ ireto? Dia hoy Ziba: Ny boriky dia ho an’ ny ankohonan’ ny mpanjaka itaingenany; ary ny mofo sy ny voankazo masaka fahavaratra hohanin’ ny zatovo; ary ny divay hosotroin’ izay reraka any an-efitra.
3 The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Aiza ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao? Ary hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indro, mitoetra any Jerosalema izy; fa hoy izy: Anio no hampodian’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ny fanjakan’ ikaky ho ahy.
4 The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Ziba: Indro, anao izay rehetra an’ i Mefiboseta. Ary hoy Ziba: Trarantitra anie ianao, aoka hahazo fitia eto imasonao aho, ry mpanjaka tompoko.
5 When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
Ary nony nanakaiky an’ i Bahorima Davida mpanjaka, indro, nisy lehilahy, tamingan’ i Saoly ny anarany dia Simey, zanak’ i Gera nivoaka avy tao izy ka nanozona teny am-pandehanana.
6 Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
Ary nitora-bato an’ i Davida mpanjaka sy ny mpanompony rehetra izy; ary ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny lehilahy mahery rehetra dia teo amin’ ny ankavanan’ ny mpanjaka sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
7 Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
Ary hoy ny fanozon’ i Simey: Mandehana, mandehana, ry lehilahy mpandatsa-drà sy tena ratsy fanahy!
8 Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
Nataon’ i Jehovah manody anao izao ny ran’ ny tamingan’ i Saoly, ilay nodimbiasanao fanjakana; ary Jehovah nanome ny fanjakana ho eo an-tànan’ i Absaloma zanakao kosa; ary indro, efa idiran-doza izao ianao, satria mpandatsa-drà.
9 Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
Ary hoy Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Nahoana no avela hanozona ny mpanjaka tompoko io alika maty io? Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho handeha ka hanapaka ny lohany.
10 But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
Fa hoy ny mpanjaka: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianareo, ry zanak’ i Zeroia? Raha manozona izy, sady Jehovah no nanao taminy hoe: Ozony Davida, dia iza indray no hanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no manao izany?
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
Ary hoy koa Davida tamin’ i Abisay sy tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra: Indro, ny zanako naterako aza mitady ny aiko, ka mainka io Benjamita io! Avelao ihany izy hanozona, fa Jehovah no nampanao azy izany.
12 Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
Angamba Jehovah hamindra fo amiko ny amin’ ny heloko ary hamaly soa ahy noho izao ozona nanjo ahy androany izao.
13 Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
Ary nony nandeha teny an-dalana Davida sy ny olony, dia nandeha tamin’ ny ilan’ ny havoana tandrifiny kosa Simey ka nanozona teny am-pandehanana sady nitora-bato nanandrify azy sy namafy vovoka.
14 When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
Ary dia tonga tao ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay nanaraka azy sady efa reraka, ka dia naka aina teo izy.
15 While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
Ary Absaloma sy ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely dia tonga tany Jerosalema, ary Ahitofela koa dia teo aminy.
16 When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
Ary Hosay Arkita, sakaizan’ i Davida, dia tonga tao amin’ i Absaloma ka nanao taminy hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka! ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka!
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
Fa hoy Absaloma tamin’ i Hosay: izao va no fitianao ny sakaizanao? Nahoana ianao no tsy mba nandeha niaraka tamin’ ny sakaizanao?
18 Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
Ary hoy Hosay tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsia, fa izay nofidin’ i Jehovah sa ireto vahoaka ireto mbamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, dia izy no hombako, sady ao aminy no hitoerako.
19 You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
Ary koa, iza indray no hotompoiko? Tsy eo anatrehan’ ny zanany va? Tahaka ny nanompoako teo anatrehan’ ny rainao no hanompoako eto anatrehanao koa.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
Ary hoy Absaloma tamin’ i Ahitofela: Heveronareo tsara izay hataontsika.
21 Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
Dia hoy Ahitofela tamin’ i Absaloma: Midìra ao amin’ ny vaditsindranon-drainao, izay nampiandrasiny trano; dia ho ren’ ny Isiraely rehetra fa efa nanamaimbo tena eo anatrehan-drainao ianao, ka dia hahery ny tànan’ izay rehetra momba anao.
22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
Ary dia nanorin-day ho an’ i Absaloma teo an-tampon-trano ny olona; ary Absaloma niditra tao amin’ ny vaditsindranon-drainy teo imason’ ny Isiraely rehetra.
23 In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
Ary ny hevitr’ i Ahitofela izay nataony tamin’ izany dia hoatra ny manontany amin’ Andriamanitra; toy izany avokoa ny hevitra rehetra nataon’ i Ahitofela, na tamin’ i Davida, na tamin’ i Absaloma.
