Kings II 3
1 And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
Nitolom-pialy avao ty anjomba’ i Saole naho ty anjomba’ i Davide; le nihafatratse erike t’i Davide vaho ninìke erike ty anjomba’ i Saole.
2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his firstborn was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
Nisamak’ anadahy e Kebrone ao t’i Davide; i Amnone ty tañoloñoloña’e boak’ amy Akinoame nte-Iezreele;
3 And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
i Kilabe, ty faharoe, nasama’ i Abigale vali’ i Nabale nte-Karmele; ty fahatelo: i Abisalome, ana’ i Maakà ana’ i Talmay mpanjaka’ i Gesore;
4 And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
ty fah’efatse i Adonià, ana’ i Kagite; ty faha-lime, i Sefatià ana’ i Abitale;
5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
vaho ty faha-eneñe, Itreame, amy Eglà vali’ i Davide. Songa nasama’ i Davide e Kebrone ao.
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
Ie nitolom-pialy avao ty anjomba’ i Saole naho ty anjomba’ i Davide, le nampaozam-batañe añ’ anjomba’ i Saole t’i Abnere.
7 And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?
Nisakeza’ i Saole t’i Ritspà anak’ ampela’ i Aià. Le hoe t’Isbosete amy Abnere, Ino ty nimoaha’o amy sakezan-draekoy?
8 And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul your father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and do you this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
Nampiforoforo i Abnere i enta’ Isbosete zay, le hoe re: Lohan’ amboa’ Iehoda hao iraho? Niferenaiñako anindroany hao ty anjomba’ i Saole, rae’o, naho o longo’eo naho o rañe’eo, te ihe tsy naseseko am-pità’ i Davide; t’ie nasisì’o ho aman-kakeo amy rakembay androany?
9 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
Ee te hanoen’ Añahare amy Abnere naho mandikoatse, naho tsy hanoeko ty nifanta’ Iehovà amy Davide;
10 to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
ty hampamindrañe boak’ añ’anjomba’ i Saole i fifeheañey naho hampitroareñe ambone’ Israele naho Iehoda boake Dane pake Beersevà ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
11 And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
Tsy nahavale i Abnere ndra volan-draike re ty amy fihembaña’ey.
12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make your covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with you to bring back to you all the house of Israel.
Nañitrik’ amy Davide amy zao t’i Abnere nanao ty hoe: An’ ia o taneo? naho ty hoe: Mifañinà amako fa inao, ama’o ty tañako hanese Israele iaby.
13 And David said, With a good will I will make with you a covenant: only I demand one condition of you, saying, You shall not see my face, unless you bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when you come to see my face.
Le hoe re, Antao arè, hifañina; fe hafantoko ama’o, te tsy ho isa’o ty tareheko naho tsy endese’o heike t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole, t’ie miheo mb’ amako mb’etoa hañisake ty tareheko.
14 And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Le nañitrik’ am’ Is’bosete ana’ i Saole t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Aseseo amako i Mikale tañanjombako nifofoeñ’ añ’ ofon-te-Pilisty zatoy.
15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
Aa le nampihitrife’ Isbosete vaho rinambe’e amy Paltiele ana’ i Laise, vali’ey.
16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
Nangololoike ty rovetse i vali’ey, ie nañorik’ aze mb’e Bakorime mb’eo. Le hoe t’i Abnere ama’e: Akia, iamboho; le nimpoly re.
17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days you sought David to reign over you;
Ie amy zao fa nifañaoñe amo talè’ Israeleo t’i Abnere, nanao ty hoe: Ie taolo ro nipay i Davide ho mpanjaka hifehe anahareo,
18 and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
Aa le ano henaneo; amy te nafè’ Iehovà amy Davide ty hoe: Ty fitàm-pitoroko Davide ty handrombahako ondatiko Israeleo am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio, naho am-pità’ o rafelahi’ iareo iabio.
19 And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
Tinaro’ i Abnere an-dravembia i Beniamine ka izay, le nañavelo t’i Abnere nisaontsy an-dravembia’ i Davide e Kebrone ao t’ie ninò’ Israele iaby naho ty anjomba’ i Beniamine iaby;
20 And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
le nimb’ amy Davide e Kebrone añe t’i Abnere rekets’ ondaty roapolo vaho nanoa’ i Davide sabadidake t’i Abnere naho ondaty nindre ama’eo.
21 And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and you shall reign over all whom your soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
Le hoe t’i Abnere amy Davide: Hiongake iraho hiavotse le hatontoko amy talèko mpanjakay t’Israele iaby, hifañina ama’o, hifeleha’o ze satrin’arofo’o iaby. Aa le nirahe’ i Davide mb’eo t’i Abnere hañavelo am-panintsiñañe.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
Ingo te boak’ an-kotakotak’ añe amy zao o mpitoro’ i Davideo naho Ioabe, ninday fikopaham-bey; fe tsy amy Davide e Kebrone ao t’i Abnere, ie niraheñe añe naho niavotse an-kanintsiñe.
23 And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
Aa ie pok’eo t’Ioabe naho i valobohòke nindre ama’e iabiy, le natalily am’ Ioabe ty hoe: Fa niheo amy mpanjakay t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere vaho nampiavote’e mb’eo le nienga am-panintsiñañe.
24 And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] you have done? behold, Abenner came to you; and why have you let him go, and he has departed in peace?
Aa le nomb’ amy mpanjakay t’Ioabe nanao ty hoe: Ino ze o nanoe’oo? Inao niheo mb’ama’o mb’etoa t’i Abnere; akore te nirahe’o mb’eo, ie vata’e añe?
25 Know you not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all things that you do?
Fohi’o t’i Abnere ana’i Nere, te nimb’ etoa hamañahy azo, hahafohiñe ty fiengà’o naho ty fiziliha’o, haharendreha’e ze anoe’o iaby.
26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
Ie niavotse amy Davide t’Ioabe le nampihitrike ìrak’ amy Abnere nampibalike aze boake Bor’sirà; fe tsy nifohi’ i Davide.
27 And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he struck him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
Aa ie nimpoly mb’e Kebrone mb’eo t’i Abnere, le natola’ Ioabe hisitak’ i lalam-beiy hibisibisiha’e vaho tinombo’e ambane-pa’e fahalime, le nihomake ty amy lion-drahalahi’e Asaeley.
28 And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
Ie jinanji’ i Davide le hoe re, Malio tahiñe am’ Iehovà, amy lio’ i Abnere ana’ i Nerey iraho naho ty fifeheako.
29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be lacking of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
Ee te hipetak’ añambone’ Ioabe naho añ’ anjomban-drae’e le tsy hasitak’ ami’ty anjomba’ Ioabe ty aman-dio-lava, ke ty angamae, he ty miato am-pitoñoñe, ke ty ampitsingorom-pibara, he ty tsy aman-kàneñe.
30 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he killed Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
Vinono’ Ioabe naho i rahalahi’e Abisaiy t’i Abnere ty amy namonoa’e i rahalahi’ iareo Asaele an-kotakotake e Gibone añe.
31 And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ioabe naho amo hene ondaty nindre ama’eo, Mandriata saroñe naho misikina gony vaho miroveta añatrefa’ i Abnere. Le nañorike i horantsañey t’i Davide.
32 And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
Nalente’ iereo e Kebrone ao t’i Abnere; le naonjo’ i mpanjakay ty fiarañanaña’e nangololoike ty rovetse an-kibori’ i Abnere eo vaho fonga nangoihoy ondatio.
33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
Aa le nandala i Abnere i mpanjakay, ami’ty hoe: Nihomake manahake ty fikenkañan-dagola t’i Abnere?
34 Your hands were not bound, and your feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [you] not near as Nabal; you did fall before children of iniquity.
Tsy nisingoreñe o fità’oo, tsy ni-an-dongoke o fandia’oo; nikorovoke hoe ondaty zinevo añatrefa’ o lo-tserekeo. Le niroveta’ ondatio indraike.
35 And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
Nimb’ amy Davide amy zao ondatio nanjotso mofo, ie mbe niantoandro, fe nifanta ami’ty hoe t’i Davide; Hanoen’ Añahare amako ndra losore’e naho mitsopeke mofo ndra inoñe am-para’ te tsofotse i àndroy.
36 And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
Nihaoñe’ ondatio izay le ninò’e; niantofa’ ondaty iabio ze nanoe’ i mpanjakay.
37 So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to kill Abenner the son of Ner.
Aa le nifohi’ ze hene ondaty naho Israele iaby amy andro zay te tsy nampivetraha’ i mpanjakay t’i Abnere ana’ i Nere.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know you not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
Le hoe i mpanjakay amo mpitoro’eo: Tsy fohi’ areo hao te nihotrake e Israele ao anindroany ty roandria fanalolahy?
39 And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
Mamake iraho androany, ie vaho norizañe ho mpanjaka; toe loho gañe amako i ana’ i Tseroià rey; ehe ho vale’ Iehovà amy raty tserekey o hatsivokara’eo.
