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.
There happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, 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 all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bikri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the 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.
David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and provided them with sustenance, but did not go 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 the king said to Amasa, "Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be 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 call the men of Judah together; but he stayed 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.
David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight."
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.
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 Bikri.
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 came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; 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.
Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Joab took Amasa by the beard with his 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 struck him with it in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and did not strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bikri.
11 Nijohañe eo ty ajalahi’ Ioabe nanao ty hoe; Ze miantoke Ioabe naho mpiamy Davide, ee te horihe’e t’Ioabe.
There stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow 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.
Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who 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 taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bikri.
14 Niranga ze hene fifokoa’ Israele re pak’ Abele, naho e Betemaakà, naho amo nte-Berìo; aa le nifanontoñe iereo, nanonjohy aze.
He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites; and they assembled and followed 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.
They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the outer wall; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall, to bring 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 a wise woman cried out of the city, "Hear, hear. Please say 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: Zaho ‘nio. Le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño ty enta’ o anak’ ampata’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e, Mitsanon-draho.
He came near to her; and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your handmaid." He answered, "I do hear."
18 Aa le hoe re, Sinaontsi’ o taoloo ty ti-hoe: Ie aman’ ontane, añontaneo e Abele ao: zay ty fampigadoña’ iareo.
Then she spoke, saying, "They used to say a saying, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
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?
that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?"
20 Natoi’ Ioabe ty hoe: Mitotse amako zay; lavitse ahy t’ie hagodrako ndra harotsako.
Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 Tsy zay 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 the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." The woman said to Joab, "Look, 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 Bikri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. 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 army 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 Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
25 mpanokitse t’i Seva, le mpisoroñe t’i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare;
and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
26 mpifehe amy Davide ka t’Irà nte-Iaire.
and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
