Ary hoy Davida tamin'ny mpanompony rehetra izay tao aminy tany Jerosalema: Mitsangàna, andeha isika handositra, fa tsy hisy hahafahantsika amin'i Absaloma; andeha hiala faingana, fandrao tamy faingana izy, ka tratrany eto isika, dia hataony idiran-doza tampoka eto isika, ary hasiany amin'ny lelan-tsabatra ny tanàna.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
