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!

¹It was told Joab, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”

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

²The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”

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.

³The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

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

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

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

⁵Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “You have shamed this day the faces of all your servants, who this day have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;

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;

⁶in that you love those who hate you, and hate those who love you. For you have declared this day, that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it would have pleased you well.

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.

⁷Now therefore arise, go out, and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”

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.

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

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.

⁹All the people were at strife throughout all 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 has fled out of the land from Absalom.

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.

¹⁰Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”

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?

¹¹King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? Since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house.

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

¹²You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’

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

¹³Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually in the room of Joab.’”

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.

¹⁴He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

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.

¹⁵So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.

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

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

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

¹⁷There 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 went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.

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.

¹⁸A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he had come over the Jordan.

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.

¹⁹He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, nor remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

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;

²⁰For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”

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.

²¹But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shall Shimei not be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”

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

²²David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be adversaries to me? Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? For don’t I know that I am this day king over Israel?”

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?

²³The king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” The king swore to him.

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

²⁴Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

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.

²⁵It happened, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”

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?

²⁶He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, I will saddle me a donkey, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because your servant is lame.

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.

²⁷He has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Do therefore what is good in your eyes.

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

²⁸For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more to the king?”

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?

²⁹The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”

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

³⁰Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”

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.

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

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

³²Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

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.

³³The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”

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

³⁴Barzillai 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?

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

³⁵I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

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?

³⁶Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?

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?

³⁷Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”

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.

³⁸The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you require of me, that I will do for you.”

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

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

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.

⁴⁰So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

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.

⁴¹Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”

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?

⁴²All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”

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.

⁴³The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

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.
