1 ULB Ary nisy ady lava reny teo amin'ny ankohonan'i Saoly sy ny ankohonan'i Davida. Nihanahery hatrany i Davida, fa ny ankohonan'i Saoly kosa dia nihaosa hatrany. BSB BSB: Now the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was protracted. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 ULB Niteraka zazalahy tao Hebrona i Davida. Ny lahimatoany dia i Amnona, tamin'i Ahinoama avy any Jezraela. BSB BSB: And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel;
3 ULB Ny zanany lahy faharoa, dia i Kileaba, naterak'i Abigaila, ilay mpitondratena navelan'i Nabala avy any Karmela. Ny fahatelo, dia i Absaloma, zanaka lahin'i Maka, zanaka vavin'i Talmay, mpanjakan'i Gesora. BSB BSB: his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;
4 ULB Ny zanaka lahin'i Davida fahefatra, dia i Adonia, zanaka lahin'i Hagita. Ny zanaka lahiny fahadimy dia i Sefatia zanaka lahin'i Abitala, BSB BSB: his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5 ULB ary ny fahenina dia i Jitreama, zanaka lahin'i Egla vadin'i Davida. Ireo no zanaka lahy naterak'i Davida tao Hebrona. BSB BSB: and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
6 ULB Ary nandritra ny ady teo amin'ny ankohonan'i Saoly sy ny ankohonan'i Davida dia niha-nahery tao an-tokantranon'i Saoly i Abnera. BSB BSB: During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
7 ULB Saoly dia nanana vaditsindrano antsoina hoe Rizpa, zanaka vavin'i Aia. Hoy Isboseta tamin'i Abnera hoe: "Nahoana ianao no niara-nandry tamin'ny vaditsindranon-draiko?" BSB BSB: Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8 ULB Ary dia tezitra mafy tamin'ny tenin'Isboseta i Abnera ka niteny hoe: "Lohan'amboa izay an'i Joda ve aho? Anio aho dia maneho fahatokiana amin'ny ankohonan'i Saoly, razambenao, amin'ireo rahalahiny, ary amin'ireo namany, mba tsy hanolotra anareo eo an-tanan'i Davida. Fa ankehitriny ianao dia miampanga ahy ny amin'ny fanaovan-dratsy mahakasika ity vehivavy ity? BSB BSB: Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
9 ULB Ho ataon'Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, ry Abnera, ary mihoatra aza, raha tsy hataoko amin'i Davida araka izay nianianan'i Yaveh taminy, BSB BSB: May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
10 ULB ny hamindra ny fanjakana avy amin'ny ankohonan'i Saoly sy hanorina ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida eo amin' Israely sy eo amin'ny Joda, hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba." BSB BSB: to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 ULB Tsy nanana teny hafa havaly an'i Abnera intsony i Isboseta, satria natahotra azy izy. BSB BSB: And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
12 ULB Avy eo dia nandefa mpitondra hafatra nankany amin'i Davida i Abnera mba hiresaka ho azy manao hoe: "An'iza ity tany ity? Manaova fanekena amiko, dia ho hitanao fa homba anao ny tanako, mba hitondra ny Israely rehetra ho eo aminao." BSB BSB: Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and surely my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”
13 ULB Namaly i Davida hoe: "Tsara izany, hanao fanekena aminao aho. Kanefa ny zavatra iray takiako aminao dia ny tsy ahitanao ny tavako raha tsy entinao aloha i Mikala, zanaka vavin'i Saoly, rehefa tonga hijery ahy ianao." BSB BSB: “Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”
14 ULB Avy eo i Davida nandefa mpitondra hafatra nankany amin'Isboseta, zanaka lahin'i Saoly, niteny hoe: "Omeo ahy Mikala vadiko, izay efa naloako vidy tamin'ny lohatsintsin'ny Filistina zato." BSB BSB: Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, “Give me back my wife, Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 ULB Noho izany Isboseta dia nampaka an'i Mikala ka naka azy tamin'i Paltiela vadiny, zanaka lahin'i Laisy. BSB BSB: So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
16 ULB Nandeha niaraka taminy ny vadiny, nitomany teny am-pandehanana, ary nanaraka azy hatrany Bahorima. Ary hoy Abnera taminy hoe: "Miverena any an-trano ankehitriny." Ka niverina izy. BSB BSB: Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.
17 ULB Niresaka tamin'ireo loholon'Israely i Abnera niteny hoe: "Taloha ianareo dia niezaka ny hanana an'i Davida ho mpanjaka eo aminareo. BSB BSB: Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your king.
18 ULB Ankehitriny ataovy izany. Fa Yaveh efa niteny tamin'i Davida nilaza hoe: 'Amin'ny tanan'i Davida mpanompoko no hamonjeko ny Israely vahoakako amin'ny tanan'ireo Filistina sy amin'ny tanan'ireo fahavalon'izy ireo rehetra.'" BSB BSB: Now take action, because the LORD has said to David, ‘Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
19 ULB Niresaka manokana tamin'ny olon'i Benjamina ihany koa i Abnera. Avy eo dia nandeha ihany koa Abnera mba hiresaka amin'i Davida ao Hebrona mba hanazava ny zavatra rehetra izay irian'Israely sy ny ankohonan'i Benjamina manontolo ho tanterahina. BSB BSB: Abner also spoke to the Benjamites. Then he went to Hebron to tell David all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 ULB Rehefa tonga tao Hebrona mba hihaona amin'i Davida i Abnera sy ny roapolo tamin'ireo lehilahiny, dia efa nanomana fanasana ho azy ireo Davida. BSB BSB: When Abner and twenty of his men came to David at Hebron, David held a feast for them.
21 ULB Ary Abnera nanazava tamin'i Davida hoe: "Hitsangana aho ka hanangona ny Israely rehetra ho aminao, ry ilay mpanjaka tompoko, mba hafahan'izy ireo manao fanekena aminao, mba hahafahanao manjaka amin'izay rehetra irinao." Ka nandefa an'i Abnera i Davida, ary Abnera niala tam-piadanana. BSB BSB: Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.
22 ULB Ka tonga avy any am-panafihana ny miaramilan'i Davida sy Joaba ary nitondra babo maro niaraka tamin'izy ireo. Kanefa Abnera dia tsy niaraka tamin'i Davida tany Hebrona. Efa nandefa azy Davida, ary niala tam-piadanana Abnera. BSB BSB: Just then David’s soldiers and Joab returned from a raid, bringing with them a great plunder. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, because David had sent him on his way in peace.
23 ULB Rehefa tonga Joaba sy ireo tafika rehetra niaraka taminy, dia hoy izy ireo tamin'i Joaba hoe: "Tonga teto amin'ny mpanjaka i Abnera zanak'i Nera, ary nalefan'ny mpanjaka izy, ary niala tam-piadanana i Abnera." BSB BSB: When Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “Abner son of Ner came to see the king, who sent him on his way in peace.”
24 ULB Avy eo dia tonga teo amin'ny mpanjaka i Joaba ka niteny hoe: "Inona no nataonao? Indro, i Abnera efa tonga teto aminao! Nahoana no nalefanao izy, ka lasa? BSB BSB: So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!
25 ULB Tsy fantatrao ve fa i Abnera zanak'i Nera dia tonga teto aminao mba hamitaka anao sy mba hahafantatra ireo tetikao ary hamantatra izay rehetra ataonao?" BSB BSB: Surely you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to track your movements and all that you are doing.”
26 ULB Rehefa nandao an'i Davida i Joaba, dia naniraka mpitondra hafatra nanaraka an'i Abnera izy, ary nentin'izy ireo niverina avy any amin'ny famorian-dranon'ny Siraha izy, kanefa tsy fantatr'i Davida izany. BSB BSB: As soon as Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David was unaware of it.
27 ULB Raha niverina ho any Hebrona i Abnera, dia nentin'i Joaba nihataka kely teo afovoan'ny vavahady mba hiresaka aminy mangingina izy. Teo Joaba no nanindrona azy teo amin'ny kibo ka nahafaty azy. Tamin'izany fomba izany, no namalian'i Joaba ny ràn'i Asahela rahalahiny. BSB BSB: When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab pulled him aside into the gateway, as if to speak to him privately, and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach. So Abner died on account of the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel.
28 ULB Raha nandre ny momba izany Davida dia hoy izy hoe: "Izaho sy ny fanjakako dia tsy manan-tsiny mandrakizay eo anatrehan'i Yaveh mahakasika ny ràn'i Abnera zanak'i Nera. BSB BSB: Afterward, David heard about this and said, “I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
29 ULB Aoka ny heloka ny amin'ny fahafatesan'i Abnera hilatsaka amin'ny lohan'i Joaba sy ny ankohonan-drainy rehetra. Tsy ho afaka amin'ny fianakavian'i Joaba anie ny olona izay mitsi-drà na ny areti-koditra na izay mandringa ka tsy maintsy mamindra amin'ny tehina na izay lavon-tsabatra na ireo tsy manan-ko-hanina." BSB BSB: May it whirl over the head of Joab and over the entire house of his father, and may the house of Joab never be without one having a discharge or skin disease, or one who leans on a staff or falls by the sword or lacks food.”
30 ULB Toy izany no namonoan'i Joaba sy Abisay rahalahiny an'i Abnera, satria namono an'i Asahela rahalahin'izy ireo tany an'ady tao Gibeona izy. BSB BSB: (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
31 ULB Hoy Davida tamin'i Joaba sy ireo olona rehetra niaraka taminy hoe: "Rovito ny fitafianareo, manaova akanjo fisaonana, ary manaova fisaonana manoloana ny fatin'i Abnera." Ary Davida mpanjaka dia nandeha tao aorian'ilay faty tamin'ny dingan'ny fandevenana. BSB BSB: Then David ordered Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner.” And King David himself walked behind the funeral bier.
32 ULB Nalevin'izy ireo tao Hebrona i Abnera. Nitomany sy nihiaka mafy teo amin'ny fasan'i Abnera ny mpanjaka, ary nitomany ihany koa ny olona rehetra. BSB BSB: When they buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb, and all the people wept.
33 ULB Nisaona an'i Abnera ny mpanjaka ka nihira hoe: "Tokony ho faty toy ny fahafatesan'ny adala ve Abnera? BSB BSB: And the king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?
34 ULB Tsy nofatorana ny tananao. Tsy nasiana rojo vy ny tongotrao. Fa tahaka ny fahalavon'ny olona teo anoloan'ireo zanaky ny tsy fahamarinana, no nahalavo anao." Ary mbola nitomany azy indray ny olona rehetra. BSB BSB: Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.
35 ULB Tonga nampisakafo an'i Davida ny olona rehetra raha mbola atoandro ny andro, fa Davida nianiana hoe: "Hataon'Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, ary mihoatra aza, raha manandrana mofo na zavatra hafa aho mialohan'ny hilentehan'ny masoandro." BSB BSB: Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”
36 ULB Tsikaritry ny olona rehetra ny alahelon'i Davida, ary nankasitrahan'izy ireo izany, araka ny fankasitrahany izay rehetra nataon'ny mpanjaka. BSB BSB: All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the king did pleased them.
37 ULB Koa takatry ny olona sy ny Israely rehetra tamin'izay andro izay fa tsy fanirian'ny mpanjaka ny hamono an'i Abnera zanaka lahin'i Nera. BSB BSB: So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
38 ULB Hoy ny mpanjaka tamin'ireo mpanompony hoe: "Tsy fantatrareo ve fa andriana sy olona lehibe no lavo any Israely androany? BSB BSB: Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?
39 ULB Fa osa aho ankehitriny, na dia mpanjaka voahosotra aza aho. Ireo lehilahy ireo, ireo zanaka lahin'i Zeroia, dia nahery setra loatra tamiko. Hamaly ny mpanao ratsy anie Yaveh amin'ny fanasaziana azy ny amin'ny faharatsiany, araka izay mendrika azy." BSB BSB: And I am weak this day, though anointed as king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil!”
