1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, Israel.
1 A saba nd'a, boro yaamo fo go noodin kaŋ maa Seba Biciri ize, Benyamin kunda boro no. Kal a na hilli kar ka ne: «Iri sinda baa Dawda do, iri sinda tubu mo Yasse izo do. Ya Israyla, boro kulu ma ye nga kwaara do!»
2Then all the men of Israel went up from after David, following Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah clave to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2 Israyla alborey kulu binde tun ka fay da Dawda ganayaŋ. I na Seba Biciri ize gana. Amma Yahuda alborey naagu ngey bonkoono gaa, za Urdun kala Urusalima.
3And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women, concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in a house of confinement and maintained them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
3 Dawda kaa mo nga windo do Urusalima. Bonkoono mo na wayboro wayo din sambu, sanda a wahayey nooya, ngey kaŋ yaŋ a dira ka naŋ i m'a windo batu. A n'i kulle fu fo ra, i m'i batu. A n'i goray hari jisi i se, amma a mana margu nd'ey. I go noodin daabanteyaŋ kal i buuyaŋ, goborotaray ra.
4And the king said to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and do thou attend here.
4 Waato din gaa bonkoono ne Amasa se: «Ne ka koy jirbi hinza ni ma Yahuda alborey ce ay se, i ma margu, ni mo ma kaa i banda.»
5So Amasa went to call together [the men of] Judah; but he delayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
5 A binde koy zama nga ma Yahuda alborey margu se, amma a gay hal a bisa jirbey kaŋ yaŋ i kosu a se.
6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom. Take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities and escape our sight.
6 Dawda binde ne Abisay se: «Sohõ Biciri ize Seba ga hasaraw te iri se hal a ga bisa Absalom wano. Ma ni koyo tamey sambu k'a ce gana. A ma si du kwaarayaŋ kaŋ yaŋ gonda cinari beerey, ka yana ka daray iri se.»
7And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
7 Yowab borey binde tun k'a ce gana, ngey nda bonkoono doogarey da yaarukomey kulu. I fatta Urusalima zama ngey ma Biciri ize Seba ce gana.
8When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. And Joab was girded with his coat, his dress, and upon it was the girdle of the sword which was fastened on his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
8 Saaya kaŋ cine i to tondi beero do kaŋ go Jibeyon, Amasa kaa zama nga m'i kubay se. Yowab binde gonda nga wongu bankaarayey kaŋ a daŋ, i boŋ gonda guddama, a gonda takuba ga koto mo nga gaa. Kaŋ a go dirawo ra, kala takuba fun ka kaŋ.
9And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
9 Yowab binde ne Amasa se: «Ni go baani, ay nya-izo?» Kala Yowab na Amasa di kaaba gaa da nga kambe ŋwaaro, zama nga m'a garbe sunsum se.
10And Amasa had taken no notice of the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him with it in the belly and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
10 Amma Amasa mana faham nda takuba kaŋ go Yowab kamba ra. Woodin se no a n'a kar gunda gaa haray kal a teeley zorti ka kaŋ ganda. A mana ye k'a kar koyne, Amasa binde bu. Yowab da nga nya izo Abisay na Biciri ize Seba ce gana.
11And one of Joab's young men stood by [Amasa] and said, He that favours Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab.
11 Yowab arwasu fo goono ga kay a boŋ. Nga mo ne: «Boro kaŋ ga ba Yowab da boro kaŋ go Dawda do haray, a ma Yowab gana.»
12Now Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by stood still.
12 Amma Amasa goono ga bimbilko nga kuro ra fonda bindi ra. Waato kaŋ cine bora din di kaŋ borey kulu kay, kal a na Amasa sambu k'a ganandi fonda gaa ka kond'a subo ra. Saaya kaŋ cine a faham nda boro kulu kaŋ goono ga kaa nga do ga kay, kal a na bankaaray fo daabu a gaa.
13When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri,
13 Waato kaŋ i n'a ganandi fonda boŋ, borey kulu na Yowab banda gana zama i ma Biciri izo Seba ce gana.
14who went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maacah, and all the Berim; and they gathered together, and went also after him.
14 Nga mo jin ka Israyla kundey kulu gana kal a kaa hala Abel, da Bayt-Maaka, da Beri dumi kulu. I margu binde k'a gana.
15And they came and besieged him in Abel-Beth-Maacah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it was raised in the trench; and all the people that were with Joab sapped the wall, to throw it down.
15 I kaa mo ka wongu marga kayandi a se Abel Bayt-Maaka wano ra. I na laabu gusam citila zama i ma kwaara wongu se, a go ga kay kwaara gaa haray. Jama kulu kaŋ go Yowab do haray soobay ka kwaara birni cinaro doole zama ngey m'a zeeri.
16And a wise woman cried out of the city, Hear, hear: say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
16 Waato din gaa no wayboro fo kaŋ gonda laakal kwaara ra n'i ce ka ne: «He, wa maa, wa maa, ay ga araŋ ŋwaaray! Wa ci Yowab se ka ne a ma kaa neewo, ay ma salaŋ a se.»
17And he came near to her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he said, I [am he]. And she said to him, Listen to the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I am listening.
17 Kal a maan waybora do. Waybora mo ne a se: «Nin no ga ti Yowab, wala?» A tu ka ne: «Ay no.» Gaa no waybora ne a se: «Ma maa ni koŋŋa sanney.» A tu ka ne: «Ay go ga hangan.»
18And she spoke saying, They were wont to speak in old time saying, Just inquire in Abel; and so they ended.
18 Waato din gaa waybora salaŋ ka ne: «Waato jirbey ra i doona ka ne: ‹Kal i ma saaware ceeci Abel do, yaadin gaa no sanno ga ban.›
19I am peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
19 Ay no ka bare baani nda boori yaŋ ceecikoy ra Israyla ra. Ni mo, ni go ga ceeci ni ma nya fo halaci Israyla ra, danga kwaara wo nooya. Ifo se no ni go ga ceeci ni ma Rabbi tubo gon?»
20And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
20 Yowab tu ka ne: «Jam, jam! May ci ay hal ay m'a gon, wala ay m'a halaci?
21The matter is not so; but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David: give up him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
21 Manti yaadin no sanno bara nd'a. Amma boro fo kaŋ Ifraymu tondey do haray boro no, Biciri izo Seba ga ti a maa, nga no ka tun ka murte Bonkoono Dawda gaa. I m'a nooyandi taray kwaaray, nga hinne. Ay mo, kal ay ma fay da kwaara.» Waybora ne Yowab se: «Guna, i g'a boŋo jindaw ni se a ma cinaro daarandi.»
22Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
22 Gaa no waybora din koy jama do da nga laakalo. I na Biciri ize Seba boŋo dumbu mo, k'a jindaw Yowab do. Nga mo na hilli kar. I say ka fay da kwaara, boro kulu koy nga kwaara do. Yowab mo ye Urusalima, bonkoono do.
23And Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;
23 Yowab ga ti Israyla wongu marga kulu wonkoyo. Yehoyda ize Benaya mo go bonkoono doogarey boŋ.
24and Adoram was over the levy; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
24 Adoram go doole goy boŋ. Alihud ize Yehosafat, nga mo tirey haggoyko no.
25and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
25 Seba mo bonkoono hantumkwa no. Zadok da Abiyatar no ga ti alfagey.
26and Ira also, the Jairite, was David's chief ruler.
26 Ira, Yayir kwaara boro, nga mo te alfaga Dawda se.
