1 Samuel 26
1 The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”
Niheo amy Saole e Gibà mb’eo o nte Zifeo nanao ty hoe: Tsy mietak’ an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ Iesimone ao hao t’i Davide?
2 Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Aa le niavotse mb’ am-patrambei’ i Zife mb’eo t’i Saole, reketse ty ana’ Israele telo-arivo jinoboñe, hikodebe i Davide am-patrambei’ i Zife ao.
3 Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Nitobe an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ i fatrambeiy añ’ olon-dalañe eo t’i Saole. Nipalitse am-patrambey ao t’i Davide vaho nirendre’e te nañoridañe aze mb’am-patrambey mb’eo t’i Saole.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
Aa le nañirake mpitingañe t’i Davide hamente te toe nivotrak’ ao t’i Saole.
5 Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.
Niongake le nimb’ amy toetse nitobea’ i Saole mb’eoy t’i Davide vaho nioni’ i Davide ty nandrea’ i Saole naho i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, te nàndre am-piarikatohañe ao t’i Saole ie nitobe añariary aze ondatio.
6 Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akimeleke, nte-Kete naho amy Abisay, ana’ i Tseroià, rahalahi’ Ioabe, Ia ty hindre amako hizotso mb’ amy Saole an-tobe mb’eo? Le hoe t’i Abisay, Hindrezako.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
Aa le niheo mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo haleñe t’i Davide naho i Abisay, le ingo t’i Saole mandre, mirotse añivo’ i toetsey eo, i lefo’ey nitsatok’ an-tane marine’ i añambone’ey vaho nandre niarikoboñe aze t’i Abnere naho ondaty iabio.
8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”
Le hoe t’i Abisay amy Davide: Toe natolon’ Añahare am-pità’o androany i rafelahi’oy; aa ehe, angao hataoko tombok’ avots’ an-defon-dre an-tane eo, vaho tsy hindroeko.
9 David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
Fa hoe t’i Davide amy Abisay: Ko joie’o; ia ty hañonjo haok’ amy noriza’ Iehovày t’ie tsy hanañ’ kakeo?
10 David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into battle and perish.
Le hoe t’i Davide; Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, Aiy! ke ho lafa’ Iehovà, he ho avy ty androm-pihomaha’e, he t’ie hizotso an-kotakotake ao hihomake.
11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s go.”
Sondo’e am’ Iehovà te izaho ro hañiti-tañañe amy noriza’ Iehovày; fe ehe rambeso i lefoñe añ’ambone’ey naho i zonjon-drano’ey le hienga tika.
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.
Aa le nendese’ i Davide i lefoñe naho zonjoñe añambone’ i Saoley eo le nienga, leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy nahaisake, tsy nahafohiñe vaho tsy nitsekake, songa nirotse amy t’e nampilañahe’ Iehovà.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain far away, a great space being between them;
Aa le nitsake mb’añ’ila’e ey hoeke ey t’i Davide, le nijohañe an-kaboañe eñe; heba’e jabajaba ty añivo’ iereo.
14 and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Do not you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
Le nikoik’ am’ondatio naho amy Abnere ana’ i Nere t’i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Tsy manoiñe v‘iheo, Abnere? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Abnere: Ia-mbao o mikoik’ amy mpanjakaio?
15 David said to Abner, “Are not you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abnere: Tsy lahitsiay v’iheo? ia ty mañirinkiriñe azo e Israele ao? Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy nahafañambeñe i talè’o mpanjakay? Kanao nimb’eo t’indaty hanjevoñe i talè’o mpanjakay.
16 This thing is not good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”
Tsy soa o nanoe’oo. Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mañeva harotsake irehe, amy te tsy nahafigaritse ty talè’o noriza’ Iehovà. Henteo arè: Aia ty lefo’ i mpanjakay, naho i zonjon-drano tam-pikala’ey?
17 Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”
Napota’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ i Davide, le hoe re: Feo’o hao zao ry anako Davide? Le hoe t’i Davide: Feoko ‘nio, ry talèko mpanjaka.
18 He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?
Le hoe re: Ino ty hañoridaña’ i talèkoy i mpitoro’ey? Ino o nanoekoo? Ino ty hakeo an-tañako ao?
19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out today that I should not cling to the LORD’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
Aa le miambane ama’o iraho, ehe te hijanjiñe o vola’ i mpitoro’eio ty talè mpanjakako. Naho Iehovà ty nitrobo azo amako le ehe te ho no’e t’ie hisoroñañe; fe naho o ana’ ondatio le fàtse añatrefa’ Iehovà iereo; ie nanao soik’ ahy henaneo tsy hifaharako amy lova’ Iehovày ami’ty hoe: Akia, mitoroña ‘ndrahare ila’e.
20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Aa le ko ampiorihe’o an-tane añatrefa’ Iehovà ty lioko; fa toe nimb’ etoa ty mpanjaka’ Israele hikodebe ty pia, manahake ty fikeheañe kibo am-bohitse ey.
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”
Aa le hoe t’i Saole: Toe nandilatse iraho; mimpolia irehe Davide, anako, fa tsy ho robaheko ka; amy te nisarotse am-pahaoniña’o ty fiaiko anindroany; ingo t’ie nanao sare-gege, le loho nandilatse.
22 David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide: Ingo ty lefo’ i mpanjakay! ampañitrifo aze atoy ty ajalahy.
23 The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed.
Toe songa ho valea’ Iehovà ondatio ami’ty havañona’e, naho ami’ty figahiña’e; fa natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako irehe anindroany, le nifoneñako tsy hañity tañañe hijoy ty noriza’ Iehovà.
24 Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the LORD’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”
Aa kanao nonjoneñe ami’ty masoko ty fiai’o anindroany le ehe te honjoneñe am-pihaino’ Iehovà ka ty aiko hamotsora’e ahy amy ze fangovitañe iaby.
25 Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide: Ho tahie’e irehe Davide anako; toe hitoloñe an-kaozaran-drehe vaho handreketse. Aa le nienga t’i Davide naho nimpoly añ’akiba’e añe t’i Saole.
