1Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
1 Ahitofel ye ka ne Absalom se koyne: «Naŋ ay ma alboro zambar way cindi hinka suuban sohõ, ay ma tun mo ka Dawda banda gana hunkuna cino wo ra.
2And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
2 Ay ga kaŋ a boŋ za a go fargante, a kambey mo go ga sooli, y'a humburandi. Borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda mo ga zuru, ay ma bonkoono hinne kar.
3And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
3 Ay ma ye ka kande jama kulu ni se, borey kaŋ yaŋ ni goono ga ceeci. D'i du bonkoono, nga hinne, danga i kulu ga ye ka kaa nooya. Yaadin gaa no jama kulu ga goro baani samay.»
4And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
4 Sanno din binde kaan Absalom se ka boori, hala nda Israyla arkusey kulu mo.
5Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
5 Waato din gaa Absalom ne: «Wa Husay Arcita bora mo ce sohõ. Iri ma maa haŋ kaŋ no nga mo ga ne.»
6And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
6 Waato kaŋ Husay kaa Absalom do, Absalom salaŋ d'a ka ne: «Ahitofel salaŋ ka ne ya da ya. To, hal iri ma goy a ciyaŋo boŋ no? Da manti yaadin no, ma ci.»
7And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.
7 Husay mo ne Absalom se: «Saawara kaŋ Ahitofel kande, hino wo a si boori.»
8For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
8 Husay ne koyne: «Ni ga ni baaba bay, nga nda alborey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda, kaŋ wongaariyaŋ no, boro beeri yaŋ mo no. I goono ga maa konni mo ngey fundey ra sohõ, danga urs* kaŋ i fay da nga izey saajo ra. Ni baaba mo wongaari no, a si kani borey banda.
9Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
9 A go, hunkuna day a go guusu fo ra ga tugu, wala mo nangu fo. A ga ciya mo d'a kaŋ i boŋ, afooyaŋ mo kaŋ ka bu za sintina, boro kulu kaŋ maa r'a ga ne: ‹I na halaciyaŋ bambata te Absalom ganakoy ra.›
10And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
10 Hala mo baa bora kaŋ ci alboro cimi-cimi, kaŋ a bina ga hima muusu beeri wane ga yay latak! Zama Israyla kulu ga bay kaŋ ni baaba ya wongaari no. Borey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda mo alboro cimanteyaŋ no.
11Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
11 Amma ay saawara neeya: I ma Israyla kulu margu ni do, za Dan gaa kal a ma koy Beyer-Seba, danga teeku me gaa taasi baayaŋ cine. Ni bumbo mo ma koy wongo do.
12So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
12 Iri binde ga kaŋ a boŋ nango kaŋ i g'a gar. Iri m'a to sanda mate kaŋ harandaŋ ga kaŋ laabu boŋ. A ra binde, da alborey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda, iri si baa afolloŋ naŋ.
13Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
13 Da mo a jin ka mulay ka ye kwaara fo ra, waati din gaa Israyla ga korfoyaŋ sambu ka kond'ey kwaara din gaa. Iri m'a candi kala gooro ra hal i si baa tond'ize folloŋ gar nango din ra.»
14And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
14 Absalom da Israyla alborey kulu ne Husay Arcita bora saawara bisa Ahitofel wano. Zama Rabbi no ka waadu i ma hin Ahitofel saawara kaŋ gonda nafa hala Rabbi masiiba ma kaa Absalom gaa.
15Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counseled.
15 Saaya din binde Husay ne alfagey Zadok da Abiyatar se: «Yaawo da yaawo no Ahitofel saaware nd'a Absalom da Israyla arkusey se. Ya da ya no ay mo saaware nd'a.
16Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
16 Araŋ mo, kal araŋ ma donton da waasi ka seeda Dawda se. I ma ne a se: ‹Hunkuna ni ma si kani saajo furoyaŋo do haray, amma mate kulu kaŋ no ni ma du ka daŋandi, zama i ma si bonkoono da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda halaci.› »
17Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
17 Yonata binde, nga nda Ahimaz goro En-Rogel waato din. Wayboro fo kaŋ koŋŋa no, nga no ga koy ka baaru dede i se. Ngey mo, i ma koy ka ci bonkoono Dawda se, zama a si du ka te i ma di i furo kwaara ra.
18Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
18 Amma arwasu fo di ey ka ci Absalom se. I boro hinka binde fatta da cahãyaŋ ka koy boro fo kwaara Ba-Hurim, kaŋ gonda day nga windo bindi ra. I furo dayo ra.
19And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
19 Waybora mo na day daabirjo sambu ka dayo me daabu nd'a. A na hayni masangu gusam a boŋ, i mana bay i gaa mo.
20And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
20 Absalom tamey binde kaa waybora do windo ra ka ne: «Man Ahimaz nda Yonata?» Waybora ne i se: «I na hari gooro daŋandi.» Waato kaŋ i ceeci, i mana di ey, gaa no i ye Urusalima.
21And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counseled against you.
21 A ciya binde i dirawo banda, kala borey din mo fatta ka fun dayo ra. I koy ka ci bonkoono Dawda se. I ne Dawda se: «Wa tun ka haro daŋandi nda waasi, zama saawara kaŋ dumi Ahitofel no araŋ boŋ nooya.»
22Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
22 Dawda binde tun, nga nda borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go nga banda. I na Urdun daŋandi hala mo boyaŋ hananyaŋo ga to. I mana baa afo naŋ i ra kaŋ mana Urdun daŋandi.
23And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
23 Saaya kaŋ cine Ahitofel di i mana nga saawara gana, kal a na kaari-ka daŋ nga farka gaa. A dira ka ye fu, nga kwaara ra. A na nga windo muraadey kulu margu ka ban, gaa no a na nga boŋ sarku. A binde bu, i n'a fiji mo nga baabo saara ra.
24Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
24 Waato din gaa Dawda kaa Mahanayim. Absalom mo na Urdun daŋandi, nga nda Israyla alborey kulu nga banda.
25And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
25 Absalom binde na Amasa daŋ a ma ciya wongu marga jine boro Yowab nango ra. Amasa wo mo Israyla boro fo kaŋ se i ga ne Itra ize no. Nga no ka kani nda Abigayil Nahas ize wayo, Zeruwiya Yowab nya dumi no.
26So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
26 Absalom da Israyla zumbu Jileyad ra.
27And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
27 Waato kaŋ Dawda to Mahanayim, kala Sobi, Nahas ize, Rabba kwaara Amon izey boro, nga nda Macir Amiyel ize, Lo-Debar kwaara bora, da Barzillay Rogelim kwaara boro Jileyad laabu,
28Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,
28 i kaa ka kande daarijiyaŋ, da gumbutuyaŋ, da kusuyaŋ, da alkama, da sayir, da hamni, da hayni safante, da dunguri, da damsi, da kobto kogoyaŋ,
29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
29 da yu, da ji, da feejiyaŋ, da haw wa cukku, ka no Dawda nda nga banda borey se, i ma ŋwa. Zama i ne: «Borey wo, haray da jaw da farga go i gaa saajo ra.»
