2 Samoela 2
1 Ie añe izay, le nañontane Iehovà t’i Davide ami’ty hoe: Hionjonako hao o rova’ Israeleo? le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Mionjona. Aa le hoe t’i Davide: Ty aia ty handenàko? le hoe re: Mbe Kebrone mb’eo.
And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 Aa le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ i vali’e roe rey, i Akinoame nte Iezreele naho i Abigale vali’i Nabale nte-Karmele.
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
3 Le nampionjone’ i Davide ondaty mpiama’eo songa rekets’ o keleia’eo vaho nimoneña’ iareo o rova’ i Kebroneo.
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 Nimb’eo amy zao o roandria’ Iehodao, le noriza’ iareo eo t’i Davide ho mpanjaka’ i anjomba’ Iehoday. Le natalily amy Davide te o nte-Iabese-Giladeo ty nandenteke i Saole.
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 Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
5 Nañitrik’ amy Iabese-Gilade t’i Davide, le nanoe’e ty hoe, Andriañeñe t’Iehovà ami’ty fitretreza’ areo i talè’ areoy, amy nandenteha’ areo i Saoley.
And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be all of you of the LORD, that all of you have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6 Aa le ho ferenaiña’ Iehovà naho haboa’e ama’ areo ty hatò; vaho handroroñako ama’ areo i hasoa nanoe’ areoy.
And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because all of you have done this thing.
7 Aa le ampaozaro o fità’ areoo, le mahasibeha; fa vilasy t’i Saole talè’ areo vaho fa noriza’ Iehoda raho ho mpanjaka’ iareo.
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be all of you valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Ie amy zao, rinambe’ i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ i Saole, t’Is’bosete ana’i Saole vaho nendese’e nitsake mb’e Maknaime mb’eo;
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 le nanoe’e mpanjaka’ i Gilade naho o nte-Asoreo naho Iezreele naho Efraime naho i Beniamine naho Israele iaby.
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-efa-polo taoñe t’Is’bosete t’ie niorotse nifehe Israele, le nifeleke roe taoñe. Fe nañorike i Davide ty anjomba’ Iehoda.
Ishbosheth 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 Le fito-tao-tsi-enem-bolañe ty naha-mpanjaka’ i anjomba’ Iehoday e Kebrone ao i Davide.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Niavotse boake Maknaime t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere rekets’ o mpitoro’ Is’ Bosete ana’i Saoleo le nomb’e Gibone mb’eo.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Niavotse t’Ioabe, ana’i Tseroià naho o mpitoro’ i Davideo nifanalaka am’ iereo amy antara’ i Giboney; ie nifampigaoñe le añ’ila’ i antara etoañey ty firimboña’e raike vaho alafe’ i antara eroañey ty firimboña’e raike.
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 Le hoe t’i Abnere am’ Ioabe, Angao hiongake o gaon-dahio hihisa añatrefan-tikañe. Le hoe t’Ioabe: Angao hiongake.
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Niongak’ amy zao t’i nte-Beniamine, folo-ro’amby ty mpiam’ Is’bosete, ana’ i Saole, naho folo-ro’amby ty mpitoro’ i Davide.
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Sindre nitan-ty lohan-drahalahi’e naho natsorofo’e an-deme’ i rahalahi’ey ty fibara’e vaho songa nitsingoritritse eo; aa le natao ty hoe Kelkate-kats’ tsorime i toetse e Gibone izay.
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 Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Nampalovilovy ty hotakotak’ amy andro zay; le nigioke t’i Abnere naho o ana’ Israeleo añatrefam-pitoro’ i Davide.
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 Teo ty ana-dahy telo’ i Tseroià; Ioabe, naho i Abisày, vaho i Asaele, le nalisa am-pandia t’i Asaele manahake ty fanaloke tora’e.
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 Nañinjake i Abnere t’i Asaele; tsy niviombioñe mb’an-taña’e havana ndra havia amy fañitrihitriañ’ orike i Abnerey.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 Nitoli-boho amy zao t’i Abnere nanao ty hoe: I Asaele v’iheo? hoe ty natoi’e: Zaho.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 Le hoe t’i Abnere tama’e: Mitsilea, mb’an-taña’o havana ndra havia, naho tsepaho ty gaon-dahy vaho holiro o fikala’eo, f’ie tsy nete tsy nañorik’ aze avao.
And Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22 Nindrae’ i Abnere amy Asaele ty hoe: Mivioña tsy hañorik’ ahy; ino ty hanjevoñako azo an-tane? Aia amy zao ty hiatrefako laharañe am’ Ioabe rahalahi’oy?
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: wherefore should I strike you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
23 F’ie nifoneñe tsy hivioñe, aa le tinombo’ i Abnera amy kitron-defo’ey ambane’ ty pa’e faha lime eo le nipotìtse am-boho’e ao i lefoñey vaho nitsingorokoron-ko mate eo. Ie amy zao, ze nizo i nikorovoha’ i Asaele nivetrakey, le nijohañe eo.
Nevertheless he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear stroke 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 Fe nañoridañe i Abnere t’Ioabe naho i Abisày; le nitsofots’ andro t’ie pok’ an-kaboa’ i Amà, i aolo’ i Già an-dala’ mb’ am-patrambei’ i Giboney.
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Nifanontoñe amy Abnere amy zao o ana’ i Beniamineo vaho nijohañe an-kaboañe ey.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26 Kinoi’ i Abnere amy zao t’Ioabe ami’ty hoe: Hamotseke nainai’e hao i fibaray? Tsy fohi’o hao t’ie higadoñe an-kafairañe avao? Ampara’ te mb’ia vaho halalie’o ondatio ty tsy hañoridañe i rahalahi’ey?
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? know you not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brethren?
27 Le hoe t’Ioabe: Kanao veloñe t’i Andrianañahare, naho tsy nisaontsy rehe, le ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray leo raike tsy ho nimpoly am-pañinjaha’e i rahalahi’ey.
And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Aa le nampipopò antsiva t’Ioabe vaho nitsangañe ondaty iabio, tsy nañoridañe Israele ka, tsy nifanehak’ añ’aly ka.
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Nikatsakatsake niranga i Arabà amy haleñe iabiy t’i Abnere naho ondati’eo; nitsake Iordaney naho niranga i Bitrone vaho nigodañe e Maknaime.
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 Nimpoly amy fañoridaña’e i Abnerey t’Ioabe; le ie natonto’ iareo i mpitoro’ i Davide rey le tsy niampe folo-sive’ amby naho i Asaele.
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 Fe zinevo’ o mpitoro’ i Davideo amo lahilahi’ i Beniamine naho a i Abnereo: t’indaty telon-jato-tsi-enem-polo, fonga nikorokomake.
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32 Nitakone’ iereo t’i Asaele vaho nalente’e an-donan-drae’e e Betlekheme ao. Nikatsakatsak’ amy haleñey ka t’Ioabe, am-para’ te niporea am’ iereo e Kebrone añe i àndroy.
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
