II Samuel 2
1 Kalpasan daytoy, nagsalusod ni David kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Rumbeng kadi a sumang-atak iti maysa kadagiti siudad ti Juda?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Sumang-atka.” Kinuna ni David, “Ania a siudad ti rumbeng a papanak?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Idiay Hebron.”
And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of Yhwh, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Yhwh said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 Simmang-at ngarud ni David a kaduana dagiti dua nga assawana, ni Ahinoam manipud iti Jezreel ken ni Abigail a balo ni Nabal manipud iti Carmel.
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3 Inkuyog pay ni David dagiti lallaki a kakaduana, agraman dagiti pamiliada, kadagiti siudad ti Hebron, a nangrugianda a nagnaedan.
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Kalpasanna, simmangpet dagiti tattao manipud iti Juda ket pinulotanda ni David a kas ari iti entero a balay ti Juda. Imbagada kenni David nga, “Intabon dagiti tattao iti Jabes Galaad ni Saul.”
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh–gilead were they that buried Saul.
5 Isu a nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero a mapan kadagiti lallaki iti Jabes Galaad ket imbagada kadakuada, “Bendissionankayo ni Yahweh, gapu ta impakitayo daytoy a kinapudnoyo iti apoyo a ni Saul ken intabonyo isuna.
And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh–gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Yhwh, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6 Ita ipakita koma ni Yahweh kadakayo ti kinapudnona iti tulagna ken ti kinaimbagna kadakayo. Ipakitak met kadakayo daytoy a kinaimabag gapu ta inaramidyo daytoy a banag.
And now Yhwh shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7 Ket ita, papigsaenyo koma dagiti im-imayo; ken tumuredkayo ta natayen ti apoyo a ni Saul, ken pinulotannak ti balay ti Juda a kas arida.”
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Ngem ni Abner a putot ni Ner, a pangulo ti armada ni Saul ket innalana ni Isboset a putot ni Saul ken impanna idiay Mahanaim;
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, took Ish–bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 insaadna ni Isboset nga ari iti Galaad, iti Aser, iti Jezreel, iti Efraim, iti Benjamin, ken iti entero nga Israel.
And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Ni Isboset a putot ni Saul, ket uppat a pulo ti tawenna idi rinugianna ti agari iti entero nga Israel, ken dua a tawen a nagturay isuna. Ngem simmurot kenni David ti balay ti Juda.
Ish–bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11 Nagari ni David idiay Hebron iti entero a balay ti Juda iti pito a tawen ken innem a bulan.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Ni Abner a putot ni Ner ken dagiti adipen ni Isboset a putot ni Saul ket rimmuar manipud Mahanaim a nagturong idiay Gabaon.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish–bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Rimmuar ni Joab a putot ni Zeruyas ken dagiti adipen ni David ket nagsasarakda iti abay iti pagurnongan ti danum idiay Gabaon. Nagtutugawda sadiay, maysa a bunggoy iti maysa a bangir iti pagurnongan ti danum ken maysa a bunggoy iti bangirna.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 Kinuna ni Abner kenni Joab, “Patakderenta dagiti agtutubo ket pagrangetenta ida iti sangoanantayo.” Ket kinuna ni Joab, “Patakderenta ida.”
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Ket, timmakder dagiti agtutubo ken naguummongda, sangapulo ket dua para iti Benjamin ken Isboset a putot ni Saul, ken sangapulo ket dua manipud kadagiti adipen ni David.
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish–bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Nagiinniggem ti tunggal maysa iti ulo ti karangetna sada induyok ti kampilanda iti bakrang ti karangetda, ket napasagda amin. Naawagan ngarud dayta a lugar iti Hebrew a, “Helcat Assurim,” wenno “Tay-ak dagiti Kampilan” nga adda idiay Gabaon.
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath–hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Nakaro unay ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, naparmek da Abner ken dagiti lallaki iti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti adipen ni David.
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 Adda sadiay dagiti tallo a putot ni Zeruyas: Ni Joab, Abisai ken Asael. Napardas nga agtaray ni Asael a kas iti atap nga ugsa.
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19 Kinamat ni Asael ni Abner ket saanna a sininsinaan.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 Timmaliaw ni Abner iti likodanna ket kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta Asael?” Simmungbat isuna, “Siak daytoy.”
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 Kinuna ni Abner kenkuana, “Agpakannawan wenno agpakannigidka, ket tiliwem ti maysa kadagiti agtutubo ket alaem ti igamna.” Ngem saan a simmiasi ni Asael.
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22 Isu a kinuna manen ni Abner kenni Asael, “Sardengannakon a kamkamaten. Apay koma a patayenka? Kasanokto nga iparang ti rupak kenni Joab, a kabsatmo?”
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23 Ngem saan a simminsina ni Asael, isu a dinuyok ni Abner ti bagi ni Asael babaen iti murdong ti putan ti gayangna, isu a simmalput ti gayang iti bangir a paset ti bagina. Napasag ni Asael ket natay sadiay. Isu a napasamak a nagsardeng ken nagtakder ti siasianoman a nakadanon iti disso a nakapasagan ken nakatayan ni Asael.
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Ngem kinamat da Joab ken Abisai ni Abner. Idi lumlumneken ti init, dimmanundan iti turod ti Amma, nga adda iti asideg ti Gia nga igid ti dalan nga agturong iti let-ang idiay Gabaon.
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Naguummong dagiti lallaki ti Benjamin iti likodan ni Abner ket nagtakderda iti tapaw ti turod.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26 Pinukkawan ni Abner ni Joab ket kinunana, “Agnanayon kadi a mangalun-on ti kampilan? Saanmo kadi nga ammo a nasasaemto iti kamaudiananna? Kasano kadi ti kabayagna daytoy sakbay nga ibagam kadagiti tattaom nga isardengda ti panangkamatda kadagiti kakabsatda?”
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27 Simmungbat ni Joab, “Iti nagan ti Dios nga adda iti agnanayon, no saanmo nga imbaga dayta, kamaten koma dagiti soldadok dagiti kakabsatda agingga iti agsapa!”
And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Isu a pinuyotan ni Joab ti trumpeta, ket nagsardeng amin dagiti tattaona ket saandan a kinamat ti Israel, wenno saadan a kinaranget.
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Nagdaliasat ni Abner ken dagiti tattaona iti dayta a nagpatnag iti Araba. Binallasiwda ti Karayan Jordan, nagnagnada iti sumaruno a bigat ket kalpasanna nakadanunda idiay Mahanaim.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30 Nagsubli da Joab manipud iti panangkamatda kenni Abner. Inummongna dagiti amin a tattaona, a nakatakkuatanna a mapukpukaw ni Asael ken sangapulo ket siam a soldado ni David.
And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 Ngem nakapatay dagiti tattao ni David iti 360 a tattao ti Benjamin a kadua ni Abner.
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32 Ket innalada ni Asael ken intabonda isuna idiay tanem ti amana, nga adda idiay Betlehem. Nagpatpatnag a nagdaliasat da Joab ken dagiti tattaona, ket nalawagandan idiay Hebron.
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth–lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
