< 2 Samuel 18 >

1 David organized the men who were with him and put commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds in charge of them.
Hagi Deviti'a agranema vu'naza sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'za kegavama hanaza sondia vahe'ma huhampri zamante'neana 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamanteno, mago'a 100'a sondia vahete kva huhampri zamante'ne.
2 David sent the army out divided into three sections. One third was commanded by Joab, one third was commanded by Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third was commanded by Ittai the Gittite. The king told the men, “I myself will go out into battle with you.”
Hagi 3'a kevuma sondia vahe'ma refako hu'nefintira, mago kevua Joapu kegava higeno, mago kevua Joapu nefu Abisai kva higeno mago kevu'a Gatiti ne' Itaia kegava hu'ne. Ana hazageno kini ne'mo'a sondia vahetamina zamasamino, nagrane hatera vugahue.
3 But the men replied, “No, you must not go out into battle! For if we have to run away, they won't care about us. Even if half of us die, they won't care about that either. But you are worth ten thousand of us, so it's better if you stay here and send us help from the town.”
Hianagi sondia vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, Kagra tagranena hatera ovugahane, tagrama hapinti'ma atreta frege, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za mago'a vahetima zamahesu'za, ana zankura zamagra ontahigahaze. Hagi kagrama vananke'za kahesu'za 10 tauseni'a vahe'ma zamahe'za musema nehazankna hugahaze. Hagi kagra atrenka kumate mani'nenka vaheku'ma upa hanuno, neone zanku upa'ma hanunkenka taza hananana knare hugahie.
4 “I will do whatever you think best,” the king replied. The king stood beside the gate while all his men marched out by hundreds and by thousands.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Tamagrama antahisageno'ma knarema haniazana nagra hugahue. Hagi kini ne'mo rankumamofo kahante uotino mani'nege'za sondia vahe'mo'za 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kvao, 100'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevu nevazageno, 1tauseni'a sondia vahe'ma refko'ma hunteterema hu'naza kevumo'za vu'naze.
5 The king ordered Joab, Abishai and Ittai, “Treat young Absalom gently for me.” All the men heard the king giving orders to each of his commanders about Absalom.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Joapunki, Abisainki, Ittainena zamasami'ne, Nagri'ma antahinamisuta Absalomuna agazone hunteho. Hagi ana nanekema 3'a kva vahe'ma zamasamiana mika sondia vahe'mo'za nentahizageno zamasami'ne.
6 David's army marched out to face the Israelites in battle, which was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
Anante Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za vu'za Efraemi zafafi Israeli sondia vahe'ene hara ome hu'naze.
7 The Israelites were defeated by David's men and many were killed that day—some twenty thousand.
Hagi Deviti naga'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzamagaterage'za, ana zupa 20 tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri'naze.
8 The battle covered the whole countryside, and that day more died because of the forest than were killed by the sword.
Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra huno maka kaziga vuno eno higeno, ana zafafima savri hu'za hazenkema eri'za fri'naza vahe'mofo nampamo'a kazinteti'ma zamahe'naza vahe'mokizmi nampana agatere'ne.
9 Absalom ran into some of David's men while he was riding on his mule. As the mule went under the twisted branches of a large oak tree, Absalom's hair got caught in the tree. The mule he was riding kept going, leaving him hanging between earth and sky.
Hagi ana ha'ma nehazageno'a, Absalomu'a Deviti sondia vahe mani'narega e'ne. Hagi eme zamageno miuli nehaza donkifi frenaku freno viana oki zafa azankuna'afi azokamo'a rusi huno azeri sga higeno miuli donkimo'a atreno fre'ne.
10 One of David's men saw what happened, so he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging from an oak tree!”
Hagi mago sondia ne'mo'a ana zana negeno vuno Joapuna ome asamino, Absalomuna azoka'mo'a oki zafafi rusi huno azeri sga higeno mani'ne.
11 “What! You saw him like that?” Joab said to the man. “Why didn't you kill him right then and there? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a soldier's belt as a reward!”
Ana'ma hutegeno'a Joapua ana nera asamino, nahigenka agrira ahe ofri'nane, kagrama ahe frintesina nagra silvane harafa ma nentaniza amu nofira kamuresine.
12 But the man replied, “Even if you gave me a thousand shekels of silver, I wouldn't hurt the king's son. We all heard the king give the order to you, Abishai, and Ittai, ‘Look after young Absalom for me.’
Hianagi ana sondia ne'mo kenona huno, 1tauseni'a silva nenaminka ome ahe frio hunka hugahananagi, nagra anara osugahue. Hagi tagra nentahukeno kini ne'mo'a kagri'ene tare kva netrena Abisaine Ittainena tamasamino Absalomuna ahe ofriho hu'ne.
13 If I had disobeyed and killed Absalom—and the king finds out everything—you yourself wouldn't have defended me.”
Hagi nagra ana nera ahoresina, kini ne'mo'a keno eri fore hisine. Na'ankure maka'zama fore hiazana agra ko nentahie. Hagi agra keagare'ma nazeri otino nazeri havizama hanifintira, kagra naza osugahane.
14 “I'm not going to waste time waiting around like this with you!” Joab told him. He grabbed three spears and drove them into Absalom's heart while he was still alive, hanging from the oak tree.
Hagi Joapu'a ana nekura amanage hu'ne, Kea osunka tagano, nehuno oki zamofo azanku'nate Absalomu'a hantiteno ofri mani'negeno 3'a karugru keve erino vuno, Absalomuna tumo ruragino regeno fri'ne.
15 Ten of Joab's armor-bearers surrounded Absalom and hacked him to death.
Hagi Joapu hankore'ma e'neri'za 10ni'a vahe'mo'za Absalomuna ome regagi'za ahe'naze.
16 Then Joab blew the ram's horn, and his men stopped chasing the Israelites because Joab had signaled them to stop.
Hagi ana huteno Joapu'a uferege'za agri sondia vahe'mo'za Israeli sondia vahe'ma zamarotagoma nehazaregatira atre'za e'naze.
17 They took Absalom and threw him into a deep pit in the forest, and piled a large heap of stones over him. All the Israelites ran away to their homes.
Hagi Absalomuna avufga'a eri'za mago keri kampi nevaziza, ana agofetura have eri'za rentrako huntazageno hihi huno mareri'ne. Hagi ana'ma hige'za mika Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za kumazamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
18 Absalom while he was alive had made a stone pillar and set it up in the King's Valley as a memorial to himself, for he thought to himself, “I don't have a son to keep the memory of my name alive.” He named the pillar after himself, and it's called Absalom's Monument even today.
Hagi Absalomu'a kasefa huno'ma mani'neno'a, mago havea eri retru renenteno nagra mofavre onte'noankino, ama havemo'a nagri nagi erino avame'za megahie, huno hu'neankino menina ana havea me'nege'za nege'za Absalomu have hu'za nehaze.
19 Then Ahimaaz, son of Zadok, said, “Please let me run and take the good news to the king that the Lord has vindicated him over his enemies.”
Anante Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a Joapuna asamino, natrege'na nagarena vu'na amama fore'ma hia zamofo musenkea kea Devitina ome asamina, Ra Anumzamo'a ha' vahekamofo azampintira kaguvazie hu'na ome asamineno.
20 “You're not the man to take the good news today,” Joab replied. “You can do it some other time, but don't do it today, because the king's son is dead.”
Hagi Joapu'a kenona huno, Kagra menina ama musenkea erinka kini netega ovugahane. Hagi henka musenkea erinka vugahane. Na'ankure menina agri'a mofavre fri'ne.
21 So Joab said to a man from Ethiopia, “Go and tell the king what you have seen.” He bowed to Joab and ran off.
Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mofo Joapu'a hunteno anage hu'ne, Kagra knazamofo nanekea Devitina ome asamio, ana ne'mo'a Joapu avuga renareno kepri huteno agareno vu'ne.
22 Ahimaaz asked Joab again, “Never mind what happens, please let me run too, after the Ethiopian!” “Son, why do you want to run—you won't get anything for it?” Joab replied.
Hianagi Zadoki nemofo Ahimasi'a hanavetino Joapuna asamino, Nazano navufgare'ma fore'ma hania zankura kagesa ontahi natrege'na nagranena kini nete vaneno. Higeno Joapu'a huno, Mago mizana e'origahananki, na'agafare vunaku nehane?
23 “Doesn't matter, I want to run anyway,” he said. “Fine, start running!” Joab told him. Ahimaaz took the route over flatter ground and overtook the Ethiopian.
Hianagi Ahimasi'a huno, Nazano nagrite'ma fore'ma hania zankura ontahuanagi nagrira natrege'na va'neno. Higeno Joapu'a knareki vuo huno hunte'ne. Hagi Ahimasi'a Jodani agupofinti Mahanaimiti rugitagino Sudani (Itiopia) nera ovu'negeno uhanati'ne.
24 David was sitting between the inside and outside gates. The watchman climbed up to the roof of the gateway by the wall. He looked out, and saw a man running by himself.
Hagi Deviti'a ran kuma'mofona tare kahantremofo amu'nompi mani'negeno, anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma kegava nehia ne'mo marerino kuma kegina agofetuti ome keana, mago ne'mo'a agra'ake agareno ne-egeno ke'ne.
25 So he shouted down to tell the king. “If he's by himself then he's bringing good news,” the king replied. As the first runner got closer,
Hagi anaga mani'neo avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, mago ne'mo agareno ne-ege'na negoe, huno kini nera asmigeno, Kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra'akema ne-esiana e'i knare musenke erino ne-e. Hagi anama agarenoma nea ne'mo'a erava'o hu'ne.
26 the watchman saw someone else running, and he shouted down to the gatekeeper, “Look! There's another man running by himself!” “He'll also be bringing good news,” said the king.
Higeno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a kezatino, Anama agareno ne-ea nemofo amefira mago vahe agareno ne-e, huno kafante'ma kegava nehia netega kezatimine. Hagi anagama mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegavama nehia ne'mo'a kafante'ma kegava nehia nera kezatimino, Kotama e'nea ne'mofo amefira mago ne' ne-e, higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, agranena knare musenke erino ne-e.
27 “The first man seems to me to be running like Ahimaaz, son of Zadok,” said the watchman. “He's a good man,” he king replied. “He'll bring good news.”
Hagi anaga mani'neno avunteno kuma'ma kegava nehia ne'mo'a huno, Ese'ma ne-ea ne'ma koana Ahimasikna hu'ne. Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, agra knare nekino knare musenke erino ne-e.
28 Ahimaaz shouted out greetings to the king, Then he came and he bowed facedown before the king. “Blessed be the Lord your God!” he said. “He has defeated the men who rebelled against Your Majesty!”
Hagi Ahimasi'a kini ne'mofona anage huno kezatimi'ne, Mikazamo'a knare hu'ne, nehuno eme kepri huno Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofo ragi amisune. Na'ankure kini ne'mokama ha'ma renegantea nera hago ahe'naze.
29 “How is young Absalom? Is he alright?” the king asked. Ahimaaz answered, “It was very chaotic when your officer Joab sent me, your servant. I really don't know what was happening.”
Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, Absalomu'a knare mani'negenka nehampi? Higeno Ahimasi'a kenona huno, Joapu'ma nagri'ene eri'za neka'anema hunerantegeno'a vahe'mo'za atru hu'ne'za ranke ranke hu'nazanagi, na'a fore hu'ne nagra ke'na antahi'na osu'noe.
30 “Stand to one side and wait,” the king told him. So Ahimaaz stood to one side and waited.
Higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, antire evu mani'nenka avega anto, higeno Ahimasia anante oti'no mani'ne.
31 Right then the Ethiopian arrived and said, “Your Majesty, listen to the good news! Today the Lord has defeated all those who rebelled against you!”
Hagi Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo ehanatino anage hu'ne, kini ne' ranimoka knare musenke eri'na neoe. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kahe'zama nehie vahe zamazampintira kazeri atre.
32 “How is young Absalom? Is he alright?” the king asked. The Ethiopian replied, “May what has happened to the young man happen to Your Majesty's enemies, and to everyone who rebels against you!”
Hagi ana kema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a, ne'ni'a Absalomu'a knare huno mani'nefi? Higeno Sudaniti (Itiopia) ne'mo'a kenona huno, Kini ne'moka kagri ha' vahete'ene ha'ma renegantaza vahetera, Absalomunte'ma fore'ma hianknaza fore hugahie.
33 The king broke down. He went up to the room over the gate and cried. As he walked, he sobbed out, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I'd died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!”
Hagi kini ne'mo'a tusi asunku nehuno kuma kafamofo agofetu me'nea nonte marerino hunaragintepinka zavi ome ate'ne. Hagi agra zavi'neteno anage hu'ne, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke, Absalomuge, kagri noma eri'na nagrama frisuana knare hugahie, Absalomuga mofavre'nimoke, mofavre'nimoke huno zavira ate'ne.
