II Samuel 16
1 Idi nakaadayo bassit ni David iti tapaw ti turod, sinabat isuna ni Siba nga adipen ni Mefiboset nga addaan iti agasawa a nasilyaan nga asno a nagkarga iti 200 a tinapay, 100 a karaay ti ubas, 100 a kapetpet a bunga ti igos, ken maysa a supot a lalat nga arak.
And when David had passed a little beyond the top of the mountain, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, appeared to meet him, with two donkeys, which were burdened with two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of dried grapes, and one hundred masses of dried figs, and a skin of wine.
2 Kinuna iti ari ken Siba, “Apay nga inyegmo dagitoy a banbanag?” Simmungbat ni Siba, “Dagiti asno ket pagluganan dagiti sangakabbalayan ti ari, ti tinapay ken dagiti kankanen a naaramid manipud iti bunga ti igos ket agpaay a kanen dagiti agtutubo a lallaki a kaduam, ken ti arak ket inumen iti siasinoman a matalimudaw idiay laet-ang.”
And the king said to Ziba, “What do you intend to do with these things?” And Ziba responded: “The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.”
3 Kinuna ti ari, “Sadino ti ayan iti apoko ti apom?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Nagbati isuna idiay Jerusalem, ta kunana, 'Ita nga aldaw, isubli iti balay ti Israel ti pagarian ti amak kaniak.'”
And the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba answered the king: “He remained in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’”
4 Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Siba, “Adtoy, kukuamon ita dagiti amin a kukua ni Mefiboset.” Simmungbat ni Siba, “Agrukbabak a sipapakumbaba kenka, apok nga ari. Makasarakak koma iti pabor iti imatangmo.”
And the king said to Ziba, “All the things which were for Mephibosheth are now yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you that I may find grace before you, my lord the king.”
5 Idi nakadanon ni David idiay Bahurim, rimmuar sadiay ti maysa a lalaki a nagtaud iti puli ni Saul, ti nagana ket Simei a putot a lalaki ni Gera. Rimmuar isuna nga agilunlunod bayat iti pannagnana.
Then king David went as far as Bahurim. And behold, a man from the kindred of the house of Saul, named Shimei, the son of Gera, went out from there. And going out, he continued on, and he was cursing,
6 Binatubatona ni David ken dagiti amin nga opisyal iti ari, iti laksid ti kaadda ti armada ken dagiti guardia nga adda iti kannawan ken kannigid iti ari.
and throwing stones against David and against all the servants of king David. And all the people and all the warriors were traveling to the right and to the left sides of the king.
7 Nagpukpukaw a nagilunlunod ni Simei, “Umadayoka, pumanawka ditoy, sika a kriminal, sika a mammapatay!
And so, as he was cursing the king, Shimei said: “Go away, go away, you man of blood, and you man of Belial!
8 Binalesnakayo amin ni Yahweh gapu iti dara ti pamilia ni Saul, a makinsaad iti pagturturayam. Impaiama ni Yahweh ti pagarian kenni Absalom nga anakmo. Ket ita nadadaelka gapu ta maysaka a mammapatay a tao.”
The Lord has repaid you for all the blood of the house of Saul. For you have usurped the kingdom in place of him. And so, the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom, your son. And behold, your evils press close upon you, because you are a man of blood.”
9 Ket kinuna ni Abisai a putot a lalaki ni Zeruyas iti ari, “Apay koma ngay nga idadanes daytoy a natay nga aso ti apok nga ari? Pangngaasim ta palubosannak ta innak putden ti ulona.”
Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and cut off his head.”
10 Ngem kinuna ti ari, “Ania koma ti pakibiangak kadakayo, a putot ni Zeruyas? Nalabit nga ilunlunodnak gapu ta imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Ilunodmo ni David.’ Siasino ngarud ti makaibaga kenkuana, 'Apay nga ilunlunodmo ti ari?'”
And the king said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Permit him, so that he may curse. For the Lord has commanded him to curse David. And who is the one who would dare to say, ‘Why has he done so?’”
11 Isu a kinuna ni David kenni Abisai ken kadagiti amin nga adipenna, “Kitaem, ti anakko a lalaki a naipasngay manipud iti bagik, ket kayatna a pukawen ti biagko. Saan kadi nga ad-adda ita a tarigagayan daytoy a Benjamita ti pannakadadaelko? Bay-anyo isuna nga agilunod, ta binilin isuna ni Yahweh a mangaramid iti dayta.
And the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: “Behold, my son, who went forth from my loins, is seeking my life. How much more does a son of Benjamin do so now? Permit him, so that he may curse, in accord with the command of the Lord.
12 Nalabit a kitaento ni Yahweh ti panagtuok a naipalak-am kaniak, ket supapakannak iti naimbag gapu iti panangilunlunodna kaniak ita nga aldaw.”
Perhaps the Lord may look with favor upon my affliction, and the Lord may repay me good, in place of the cursing of this day.”
13 Nagdalliasat ngarud ni David ken dagiti tattaona iti dalan, kabayatan nga adda ni Simei idi iti asidegna iti ngato iti bakras ti turod nga agilunlunod ken agipurpuruak iti tapok ken batbato kenkuana bayat ti pannagnana.
And so, David continued walking along the way, and his associates with him. But Shimei was advancing along the ridge of the mountain on the side opposite him, cursing and throwing stones at him, and scattering dirt.
14 Ket nabannog ti ari ken dagiti amin a tattao a kimmuyog kenkuana, ket naginana isuna idi simmardengda ta rabiin.
And the king and the entire people with him, being weary, went and refreshed themselves there.
15 Kasta met a napan idiay Jerusalem ni Absalom ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel a kaduana, kaduana ni Ahitofel.
But Absalom and all his people entered into Jerusalem. Moreover, Ahithophel was with him.
16 Naaramid idi a ni Cusai nga Arkita a gayyem ni David ket napan kenni Absalom, kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom, “Agbiag ti ari! Agbiag ti ari!”
And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!”
17 Kinuna ni Absalom kenni Cusai, “Kastoy kadi ti kinapudnom iti gayyemmo? Apay a saanka a simmurot kenkuana?”
And Absalom said to him: “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
18 Kinuna ni Cusai kenni Absalom,”Saan! Ngem ketdi, ti tao a pinili ni Yahweh ken dagitoy a tattao ken dagiti amin a lallaki iti Israel, dayta a tao ti pakaibilangakto, ket makipagnaedakto kenkuana.
And Hushai responded to Absalom: “By no means! For I will be his, whom the Lord has chosen. And I, and all this people, and all of Israel, will remain with him.
19 Ken, siasino koma ti rumbeng a pagserbiak? Saan kadi a rumbeng nga agserbiak iti imatang iti anakna? Kas iti panagserbik iti imatang iti amam, agserbiak iti imatangmo.”
But then too, I declare this: whom should I serve? Is it not the son of the king? Just as I have been subject to your father, so will I be subject to you also.”
20 Kinuna ngarud ni Absalom kenni Ahitofel, “Balakadannakami no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi.”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Present a counsel as to what we ought to do.”
21 Simmungbat ni Ahitofel kenni Absalom, “Inka ket kaiddaem dagiti tagabu nga assawa ni amam nga imbatina a mangaywan iti palasio, ket mangngegto ti amin nga Israel a nagbalinka a kabusor ti amam. Ket pumigsanto dagiti ima dagiti pasurotmo.”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom: “Enter to the concubines of your father, whom he left behind in order to care for the house. Thus, when all of Israel will hear that you disgraced your father, their hands may be strengthened with you.”
22 Isu a nangbangonda iti tolda a maipaay kenni Absalom iti tuktok ti palasio, ket iti imatang dagiti amin nga Israel, kinaidda ni Absalom dagiti tagabu nga assawa ni David a kinabbalayna.
Therefore, they spread a tent for Absalom on the rooftop. And he entered to the concubines of his father in the sight of all Israel.
23 Ita, dagiti balakad ni Ahitofel kadagidi nga al-aldaw ket kasla nangngeg ti maysa a tao manipud iti mismo a ngiwat ti Dios. Kasta ti panangkita ni David ken Absalom kadagiti amin a balakad ni Ahitofel.
Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was treated as if one were consulting God. So was every counsel of Ahithophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
