Et Joab lui répondit: Tu ne seras pas aujourd'hui porteur de bonnes nouvelles, mais tu le seras un autre jour; car aujourd'hui tu ne porterais pas de bonnes nouvelles, puisque le fils du roi est mort.
Et Joab lui dit: Tu ne seras pas l'homme qui portera les nouvelles aujourd'hui, mais tu porteras les nouvelles un autre jour; aujourd'hui tu ne porteras pas les nouvelles, puisque le fils du roi est mort.
Joab lui dit: Ce n'est pas toi qui dois porter aujourd'hui les nouvelles; tu les porteras un autre jour, mais non aujourd'hui, puisque le fils du roi est mort.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joab said unto him, thou shall not bear tidings this day,.... Because Joab knew the tidings of Absalom's death would not be acceptable to the king; and Ahimaaz being a good man, and the son of a priest, for whom Joab had a respect, he would not send the tidings by him, which he was sensible would not recommend him to the king:
but thou shalt bear tidings another day; when any salvation is wrought, or victory obtained, the tidings of which will be welcome:
but this day thou shall bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead; and thou must carry the news concerning his death, which it is not proper thou shouldest, being a priest, nor will it be to thine advantage.
