2 ሳሙኤል 18:3
ሕዝቡ ግን መለሱ ኣለዉ፣ «ኣትወጽእ፤ እንኳ እንእዳይ እንዲና ከም ዘይምርሑና፣ እንኳ ፍርቂና እንተሞተ ኣይምርሑናን። ሕጂ ግን ንስኻ ካብና ዓሰርተ ሽሕ ትዕረፍ እዩ፤ ስለዚ ካብ ከተማ ክትደግፍና ይበል።»
ሕዝቡ ግን መለሱ ኣለዉ፣ «ኣትወጽእ፤ እንኳ እንእዳይ እንዲና ከም ዘይምርሑና፣ እንኳ ፍርቂና እንተሞተ ኣይምርሑናን። ሕጂ ግን ንስኻ ካብና ዓሰርተ ሽሕ ትዕረፍ እዩ፤ ስለዚ ካብ ከተማ ክትደግፍና ይበል።»
ነገር ግን ሕዝቡ መለሰለት፣ አትውጣ፤ እኛ ብንሸሽ እንኳ አይንኩንም፤ እኛ ግማሽ ብንሞት እንኳ አይጠኑብንም፤ አሁን ግን አንተ ለእኛ ከአስር ሺህ ይልቅ ትከብራለህ፤ ስለዚህ ከከተማው ውስጥ ለእኛ ርዳታ ማቅረብህ ይሻላል።
እቶም ህዝቢ ግና፡ ንሕናስ እንተ ሀደምና፡ ብዛዕባና ኣይሐስቡን፡ ፈረቓና እንተ ሞትናውን፡ ብዛዕባና ኣይሐስቡን እዮም፡ ንስኻ ግና ክንዲ ዓሰርተ ሽሕና ኢኻ እሞ፡ ኣይትውጻእ። እምበኣርሲ ሕጂ ተዳሊኻ ኻብ ከተማ ኽትረድኣና ይሐይሽ፡ በሉ።
But the people replied, 'You must not go with us. If we are forced to flee, no one will care about us. Even if half of us die, no one will pay attention. But you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for you to provide support from the city.'
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
But the people answered, You shall not go out: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; nor if half of us die, will they care for us: but you are worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that you support us out of the city.
But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.
Neuertheles the people sayde: Thou shalt not go forth, for though we fle, or die halfe of vs they shal not regarde vs. For thou art as ten thousande of vs. Therfore is this better that thou mayest helpe vs out of the cite.
But the people answered, Thou shalt not goe foorth: for if we flee away, they will not regarde vs, neither will they passe for vs, though halfe of vs were slaine: but thou art now worth ten thousande of vs: therefore nowe it is better that thou succour vs out of the citie.
And the people aunswered, Thou shalt not go foorth: for if we flee away, they wil not care for vs, neither shal they regard vs, though halfe of vs were slaine: but thou art nowe worth ten thousande of vs, Wherfore it is better that thou succour vs out of the citie.
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou succour us out of the city.
But the people said, You shall not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.
And the people say, `Thou dost not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set `their' heart upon us; and if half of us die, they do not set `their' heart unto us -- for now like us `are' ten thousand; and now, better that thou be to us from the city for an helper.'
But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.
But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.
But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.
But the people said, "You shall not go forth; for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city."
But the soldiers replied,“You should not do this! For if we should have to make a rapid retreat, they won’t be too concerned about us. Even if half of us should die, they won’t be too concerned about us. But you are like ten thousand of us! So it is better if you remain in the city for support.”

22እዚ ድማ ካብ ዳዊት ዘሎም ክፉ ሰባትን ወዲ ቤልያል ኣመለሱ፣ “እነዚ ኣብ እዚ ጉዕዞ ኣይመጹን ከምኡ ካብ ምርካብ ዝተመለሰ ምንም ኣይንሕብዎምን፤ እዋ ንእያ ሰብ ሚስቱን ወልዶቱን ብቻ ይወስድ ድሕሪ ይሂድ” ኢሎም።
23ዳዊት ግን ኣመለሰ፣ “ወንድማተይ፣ ከምዚ ኣይትግበሩን፤ እግዚኣብሔር ዝሃበና ነገር እዩ ዘለና፤ ንሕና ኣኽልና ኣድጎና፣ እቲ ብሓላፍና ዝመጸ ጭፍራ ንእጃና ሰጠና” ኢሉ።
24“ብዚ ነገር መን ክሰምዕኩም ይኽእል? እቲ ናብ ተጋድሎ ዝኸደ ክፍሊ ከም እቲ ንዕቃ ዝጠቐመ ዝቆመ ክፍሊ እዩ ክፍሉ፤ ተመሳሳሊ ክፍል ይክፈሉ” ኢሉ።
3እንዲ ሰባት ዳዊት ንሱ በሉ፦ ‘እዩ ኣብዚ ኣብ ይሁዳ ንፈርስ ኢና፤ ንእሽቶ እንተ ናብ ቄይላ ንመጽእ ላዕለ ሰራዊት ፍልስጥኤማን እንደ ምን ይብዛ ክንፈርስ?’
12ዳዊት እንዲ በለ፦ ‘ሰባት ቄይላ እኔን ሰባትይን ኣብ እጅ ሳኦል ክሰጡና ይግባእ?’ እግዚኣብሔር መለሰ፦ ‘እዮም ክሰጡካ.’
