¹And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.

¹Ary dia niontana terỳ ny fon'ny mpanjaka, ka niakatra nankeo amin'ny efi-trano teo ambony vavahady izy sady nitomany teny am-pandehanana ka nanao hoe: Ry Absaloma, zanako, zanako, ry Absaloma, zanako ô! Inay anie aho no maty nisolo anao, ry Absaloma zanako, zanako ô!

²And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for his son.

²Ary nambara tamin'i Joaba hoe: Indro, mitomany sy misaona an'i Absaloma ny mpanjaka.

³And the people stole away that day into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle.

³Ary ny famonjena dia tonga fisaonana tamin'ny vahoaka rehetra androtrizay, satria ren'ny vahoaka tamin'izany andro izany hoe: Malahelo ny zanany ny mpanjaka.

⁴And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!

⁴Ka dia niakatra nisokosoko tao an-tanàna ny olona tamin'izany andro izany, toy ny fisokosokon'ny olona menatra raha mandositra amin'ny ady.

⁵And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy concubines;

⁵Fa ny mpanjaka nanarona ny tavany sady nidradradradra tamin'ny feo mafy hoe: Ry Absaloma, zanako, ry Absaloma, zanako, zanako ô!

⁶in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest those that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that neither princes nor servants are anything to thee: for to-day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died to-day, then it would have been right in thine eyes.

⁶Ary niditra tao amin'ny mpanjaka tao an-trano Joaba ka nanao hoe: Efa nomenarinao androany ny mpanomponao rehetra izay namonjy ny ainao androany sy ny ain'ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ary ny ain'ny vadinao sy ny vaditsindranonao;

⁷But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy youth until now.

⁷fa ny mankahala anao no tianao, ary ny tia anao kosa no halanao, ka nasehonao androany fa tsinontsinona aminao ny manamboninahitra sy ny miaramila; ary hitako izao fa raha velona Absaloma, ka izahay rehetra no maty androany, dia izany no sitrakao.

⁸Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.

⁸Koa mitsangàna ankehitriny, ka mivoaha, ary manaova teny soa amin'ny mpanomponao; fa mianiana amin'i Jehovah aho fa raha tsy mivoaka ianao, dia tsy hisy na dia iray akory aza hitoetra eto aminao anio alina; ka dia izany no ho mafy lavitra aminao noho ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anao hatry ny fony ianao vao zaza ka ambaraka ankehitriny.

⁹And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.

⁹Dia nivoaka ny mpanjaka ka nijanona teo am-bavahady; ary nolazaina tamin'ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Indro, ny mpanjaka mijanona eo am-bavahady. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nankeo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka. [Ny nodian'i Davida indray] Ary ny Isiraely dia samy efa lasa nandositra ho any amin'ny lainy avy.

¹⁰And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?

¹⁰Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin'ny firenen'Isiraely nifanditra hoe: Ny mpanjaka no namonjy antsika tamin'ny tanan'ny fahavalontsika, indrindra fa tamin'ny tanan'ny Filistina; nefa ankehitriny dia efa nandositra niala tamin'ny tany izy noho ny amin'i Absaloma.

¹¹And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.

¹¹Ary Absaloma, izay nohosorantsika hanjaka amintsika, dia efa maty tamin'ny ady. Koa nahoana ianareo no tsy miteny akory ny amin'ny hampodiana ny mpanjaka?

¹²Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?

¹²Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka tany amin'i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona ka nanao hoe: Ataovy amin'ny loholon'ny Joda hoe: Nahoana no dia ianareo indray no ho farany amin'ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka ho any an-tranony? fa ny tenin'ny Isiraely rehetra efa tonga tao amin'ny mpanjaka tao an-tranony

¹³And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.

¹³rahalahiko ianareo, ary taolako sy nofoko ianareo; koa nahoana no dia ianareo Indray no ho farany amin'ny fampodiana ny mpanjaka?

¹⁴And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants.

¹⁴Ary ataovy amin'i Amasa koa hoe: Tsy taolako sy nofoko va ianao? Hataon'Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy komandin'ny miaramila eo anatrehako mandrakariva ho solon'i Joaba ianao.

¹⁵And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.

¹⁵Ary dia nampitodika ny fon'ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Joda ho toy ny olona iray izy; ka dia naniraka tany amin'ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Modia ianao sy ny mpanomponao rehetra.

¹⁶And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.

¹⁶Ary dia nody ny mpanjaka ka tonga tao Jordana; ary ny Joda tonga tao Gilgala hitsena ny mpanjaka hitondra azy hita an'i Jordana.

¹⁷And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the Jordan before the king.

¹⁷Ary Simey, zanak'i Gera, Benjamita avy any Bahorina, dia nidodododo nidina araka tamin'ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda tsena an'i Davida mpanjaka.

¹⁸And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was [just] crossing over the Jordan.

¹⁸Ary nisy benjamita arivo lahy koa nanaraka azy, ary Ziba, mpanompon'ny taranak'i Saoly, mbamin'ny zananilahy dimy ambin'ny folo sy mpanompony roa-polo lahy izay nanaraka azy; ary dia nita an'i Jordana teo alohan'ny mpanjaka izy ireo.

¹⁹And he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.

¹⁹Ary navoivoy teo ny lakana hampitana ny ankohonan'ny mpanjaka sy hanaovany izay sitrany. Ary nony efa hita an'i Jordana ny mpanjaka, dia indro Simey, zanak'i Gera, niankohoka teo anatrehany.

²⁰For thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.

²⁰Ary hoy izy tamin'ny mpanjaka: Aoka tsy hisain'ny tompoko heloka aho, ary aoka tsy hotsarovanao ny ratsy nataon'ny mpanomponao tamin'ny andro nivoahan'ny mpanjaka tompoko niala tany Jerosalema, ary aoka tsy ho eritreretin'ny mpanjaka izany;

²¹And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed?

²¹fa fantatro, izaho mpanomponao, fa nanota aho; ka he! izaho no avy voalohany androany amin'ny taranak'i Josefa rehetra ka nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka tompoko.

²²And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

²²Fa namaly Abisay, zanak'i Zeroia, ka nanao hoe: Tsy hovonoina va Simey noho izany, satria efa nanozona ny voahosotr'i Jehovah izy?

²³And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.

²³Dia hoy Davida: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianareo, ry zanak'i Zeroia, no tonga mpanohitra ahy ianareo anio? Tokony hisy olona hatao maty va eto amin'ny Isiraely izao? Fa moa tsy fantatra va fa izaho no mpanjakan'ny Isiraely anio?

²⁴And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again] in peace.

²⁴Ary dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin'i simey: Tsy ho faty ianao. Ary ny mpanjaka dia nianiana taminy.

²⁵And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?

²⁵Ary Mefiboseta, zanakalahin'i Saoly, nidina hitsena ny mpanjaka, ary tsy nanasa tongotra na namboatra volom-bava na nanasa lamba izy hatramin'ny andro nialan'ny mpanjaka ka hatramin'ny andro nahatongavany soa aman-tsara.

²⁶And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.

²⁶Ary nony efa tonga hitsena ny mpanjaka ny avy any Jerosalema, dia hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no tsy mba nandeha niaraka tamiko ianao, ry Mefiboseta?

²⁷And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.

²⁷Fa hoy izy: Ry mpanjaka tompoko, nofitahin'ny mpanompoko aho: Hanisy lasely ny boriky aho hitaingenako ka hankany amin'ny mpanjaka; fa malemy tongotra ny mpanomponao.

²⁸For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?

²⁸Nefa nendrikendrehiny tamin'ny mpanjaka tompoko izaho mpanomponao; fa ny mpanjaka tompoko dia hoy Ilay Anjelin'Andriamanitra; koa ataovy izay sitrakao.

²⁹And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

²⁹Fa ny taranaky ny raiko rehetra dia samy olona tokony ho faty teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka tompoko; nefa ianao nampitoetra ahy mpanomponao ho isan'izay mihinana amin'ny latabatrao. Koa inona intsony no rariny ho ahy, ary inona no mbola hitarainako amin'ny mpanjaka?

³⁰And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.

³⁰Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nahoana no lazainao indray ny raharahanao? Nefa izaho efa nilaza hoe: Hianao sy Ziba no hizara ny tany.

³¹And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.

³¹Ary hoy Mefiboseta tamin'ny mpanjaka: Aoka dia ho azy avokoa izy rehetra, fa ianao mpanjaka tompoko efa tonga soa aman-tsara ao amin'ny tranonao indray.

³²And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

³²Ary Barzilay Gileadita nidina avy tany Rogelima, dia niara-nita an'i Jordana tamin'ny mpanjaka izy mba hanatitra azy hita an'i Jordana.

³³And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.

³³Ary Barzilay dia lehilahy antitra, efa valo-polo taona; ary izy efa nanome hanina ny mpanjaka, raha nitoetra tany Mahanaima izy; fa mpanjatobe indrindra izy.

³⁴And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

³⁴Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin'i Barzilay: Andeha hiara-mita amiko ianao hovelomiko any amiko any Jerosalema.

³⁵I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

³⁵Fa hoy Barzilay tamin'ny mpanjaka: Hoatrinona intsony moa no andro hahavelomako, no hiara-miakatra amin'ny mpanjaka hankany Jerosalema aho?

³⁶Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?

³⁶Valo-polo taona izay ny andro nahavelomako, ka mahalala izay soa sy ratsy intsony va aho? Mahatsiaro ny tsiron-javatra haniko sy sotroiko intsony va aho mpanomponao? Mahare izay feon'ny mpihiralahy sy ny mpihiravavy intsony va aho? Koa nahoana ny mpanomponao no mbola ho enta-mavesatra amin'ny mpanjaka tompoko?

³⁷Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.

³⁷Kely foana no handehanan'ny mpanomponao eo an-dafin'i Jordana hiaraka amin'ny mpanjaka; koa nahoana ny mpanjaka no dia hamaly fitia ahy loatra toy izany?

³⁸And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

³⁸Trarantitra ianao, aoka aho mpanomponao hody ihany ka ho fety any amin'ny vohitro ao akaikin'ny fasan'ikaky sy ineny. Fa indro Kimama mpanomponao; aoka izy no hiaraka amin'ny mpanjaka tompoko, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakao.

³⁹And all the people went over the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

³⁹Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Handeha hiaraka amiko tokoa Kimama, ka hataoko aminy izay sitrakao, ary izay angatahinao dia hataoko ho anao.

⁴⁰And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

⁴⁰Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nita an'i Jordana. Ary nony tafita ny mpanjaka, dia norohan'ny mpanjaka Barzilay sady notsofiny rano, ary dia lasa nody ho any amin'ny fonenany izy.

⁴¹And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?

⁴¹Dia nandroso nankany Gilgala mpanjaka, ary Kimama niaraka taminy; ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Joda sy ny antsasaky ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely koa nanatitra ny mpanjaka.

⁴²And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present?

⁴²[Ny nifandiran'ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, ary ny niodinan'i Seba] Ary, indreo, ny lehilahy rehetra amin'Isiraely nankao amin'ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda, rahalahinay, no nangalatra anao ka nitondra ny mpanjaka sy ny ankohonany ary ny olon'i Davida rehetra teny aminy hita an'i Jordana?

⁴³And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

⁴³Ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Joda dia namaly ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely hoe: Satria havanay akaiky ny mpanjaka; ka ahoana no mahatezitra anareo amin'izany? Nadany ny mpanjaka va izahay? Na nanome zavatra anay akory va izy?Ary ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely kosa namaly ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda hoe: Izahay manana anjaram-polo amin'ny mpanjaka; eny, izahay manana an'i Davida mihoatra noho ianareo; koa ahoana ianareo no nanao tsinontsinona anay? Tsy izahay va no niteny talohanareo nampody ny mpanjakanay? Ary ny tenin'ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda dia lozaloza kokoa noho ny tenin'ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely.

⁴⁴Ary ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely kosa namaly ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda hoe: Izahay manana anjaram-polo amin'ny mpanjaka; eny, izahay manana an'i Davida mihoatra noho ianareo; koa ahoana ianareo no nanao tsinontsinona anay? Tsy izahay va no niteny talohanareo nampody ny mpanjakanay? Ary ny tenin'ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda dia lozaloza kokoa noho ny tenin'ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely.
