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 asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord 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, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, 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 then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those 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 thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, 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 may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, 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.”
And now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as 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, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
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 Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, 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.
Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. 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 number of days 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 there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
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 Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others 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, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
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 they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for 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 grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
17 Nakaro unay ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, naparmek da Abner ken dagiti lallaki iti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti adipen ni David.
And the battle was exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, 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 at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any roe in the field.
19 Kinamat ni Asael ni Abner ket saanna a sininsinaan.
And 'Asahel pursued after Abner; and he turned not in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
20 Timmaliaw ni Abner iti likodanna ket kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta Asael?” Simmungbat isuna, “Siak daytoy.”
And Abner turned round 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 hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. But 'Asahel would not turn aside from following 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 repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift 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.
But he refused to turn aside; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing 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.
But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
25 Naguummong dagiti lallaki ti Benjamin iti likodan ni Abner ket nagtakderda iti tapaw ti turod.
And the children of Benjamin assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain 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?”
And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing 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 already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing 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 the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
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 through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
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 pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed 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 [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty 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-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
