1 Samuel 20
1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? How have I sinned against your father, that he wants to take my life?”
Nitriban-day boake Naiote e Ramà añe t’i Davide vaho nivotrak’ am’ Ionatane, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ze o nanoeko zao? Ino o hakeokoo? naho ino ty tahiko añatrefan-drae’o, ie mipay ty fiaiko?
2 “Far from it!” Jonathan replied. “You will not die. Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!”
Le hoe re tama’e: Sondo’e; tsy hihomake irehe; oniño te tsy manao ndra kede ndra bey ty raeko naho tsy aboa’e amako heike; aa vaho ino ty hampikafiran-draeko amako o raha zao? Tsy to izay.
3 But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”
Mbore nititike t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Toe fohin-drae’o t’ie nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’o, le hoe ty atao’e, Ko ampahafohineñe Ionatane zao hera hihontoke; fe kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ty fiai’o le toe lika raike ty añivoko naho ty fikenkañañe.
4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you desire, I will do for you.”
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide; Ino ty salalan-tro’o hanoeko ama’o?
5 So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane: Inao te pea-bolañe ty hamaray, le tsy ho napoko ty hitoboke hitrao-pikama amy mpanjakay; aa le angao homb’eo iraho hietak’ an-kivok’ ao ampara’ te haleñe amy andro faha teloy.
6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David urgently requested my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because there is an annual sacrifice for his whole clan.’
Aa naho mipay ahy ndra kede ty rae’o, le anò ty hoe: Nimane halaly amako t’i Davide ty hihitrifa’e mb’e Betlekheme rova’e; fa tondroke i soron-tsavereña’e boa-taoñey.
7 If he says, ‘Good,’ then your servant is safe, but if he is enraged, you will know he has evil intentions.
Aa naho manao ty hoe re: Soa izay. Le hanintsiñe ty mpitoro’o; f’ie viñetse, le fohino te ikinia’e raty.
8 Therefore deal faithfully with your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the LORD. If there is iniquity in me, then kill me yourself; why should you bring me to your father?”
Aa le isoho o mpitoro’oo; amy fañina’ Iehovà nanoe’ i mpitoro’oy ama’oy; f’ie aman-kakeo le vonò; fa ino ty hanesea’o ahy mb’aman-drae’o mb’eo?
9 “Never!” Jonathan replied. “If I ever found out that my father had evil intentions against you, would I not tell you?”
Le hoe t’Ionatane: Atòtse ama’o izay fa naho vata’e napotako te nikililien-draeko raty, tsy ho nampandrendreheko hao?
10 Then David asked Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
Aa le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane, Ia ty hitalily amako te nanoiñe azo an-keloke ty rae’o?
11 “Come,” he replied, “let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out into the field,
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Antao homb’ an-kivoke ey. Le nimb’an-kivoke ey iereon-dro-roe.
12 and Jonathan said, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
Aa hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: aolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Izaho hitsok’ an-draeko amo ora zao te maray, ndra herone, le inao, naho fañisohañe amy Davide ty ao, lehe tsy hahitriko ama’o, vaho hitalily azo,
13 But if my father intends to bring evil on you, then may the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if I do not tell you and send you on your way in safety. May the LORD be with you, just as He has been with my father.
le ee te hanoe’ Iehovà am’ Ionatane naho mandikoatse; fa naho mahafale an-draeko ty mañoho-doza ama’o, le hitaliliako, hañirahako azo homb’eo, hañaveloa’o am-panintsiñañe; vaho hindre ama’o t’Iehovà manahake ty nindreza’e aman-draeko.
14 And as long as I live, treat me with the LORD’s loving devotion, that I may not die,
Aa naho mbe velon-draho tsy haboa’o amako hao ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà, tsy hihomahako?
15 and do not ever cut off your loving devotion from my household—not even when the LORD cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
Le tsy hapitso’o an-trañoko nainai’e ty fañisoha’o; ndra te naitoa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’ i Davideo, fonga finao’e an-tane atoy.
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David’s enemies accountable.”
Aa le nifañina ami’ty anjomba’ i Davide t’Ionatane, t’ie ho paia’ Iehovà am-pità’ o rafelahi’ i Davideo.
17 And Jonathan had David reaffirm his vow out of love for him, for Jonathan loved David as he loved himself.
Le nampifantà’ Ionatane indraike t’i Davide, ami’ty fikokoa’e; amy te nikokoa’e manahake ty nikokoa’e ty vata’e.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon, and you will be missed if your seat is empty.
Le hoe t’Ionatane ama’e: Hiri-bolañe te maray: le ho paian-drehe; amy te ho kòake i fiambesa’oy.
19 When you have stayed three days, hurry down to the place you hid on the day this trouble began, and remain beside the stone Ezel.
Aa le mietaha soa irehe te herone, le miheova mb’amy fikafira’o amy androm-pitoloñañey le ey avao irehe marine ty vato’ i Ezele.
20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as if I were aiming at a target.
Hahiririko ty ana-pale telo añ’ila’e eo, hoe mañohatse fanolarañe.
21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ Now, if I expressly say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them,’ then come, because as surely as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.
Ie amy zao, hañitrifako ajalahy: Akia paiao o ana-paleo. Aa naho ataoko ty hoe: Ingo, añ’ila’o atoy o ana-paleo, rambeso vaho mb’etoa; le fañanintsiñe ty ho ama’o fa tsy joy, kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.
22 But if I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, for the LORD has sent you away.
F’ie ataoko ty hoe i ajalahiy: Inge, mbe aolo’o añe o ana-paleo; le akia, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’eo.
23 And as for the matter you and I have discussed, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever.”
Aa i nisaontsien-tikañey, Inao! añivon-tikañe nainai’e t’Iehovà.
24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat.
Le nietak’ an-kivok’ ao t’i Davide; aa ie nipea-bolañe, niambesatse hikama i mpanjakay.
25 He sat in his usual place by the wall, opposite Jonathan and beside Abner, but David’s place was empty.
Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ey i mpanjakay, manahake ty lili’e, amy fiambesatse mioza amy rindriñeiy; nijohañe t’Ionatane, vaho niambesatse añ’ila’ i Saole eo ty Abnere; fe nikòake ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
26 Saul said nothing that day because he thought, “Something has happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”
Tsy nisaontsy ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy andro zay t’i Saole, fa hoe ty natao’e: Va’e nifetsahan-draha; he t’ie maleotse; tsy malio.
27 But on the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?”
Ie amy loak’ andro manonjohy i pea-bolañeiy, i andro faharoey, naho nikoake ty fiambesa’ i Davide; le hoe t’i Saole am’ Ionatane ana’e: Akore te tsy nimb’ am-pikamàñe mb’etoa i ana’ Iisay, ndra omale ndra androany?
28 Jonathan answered, “David urgently requested my permission to go to Bethlehem,
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole: Nihalalia’ i Davide t’ie hienga mb’e Betlekheme mb’eo;
29 saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he did not come to the king’s table.”
ami’ty hoe: Ehe, angao hiavotse iraho, fa misoroñe an-drova ao o longokoo vaho nañambara’ ty rahalahiko hiatreke; aa naho nahatendreke fañisohañe am-pihaino’o le adono hihitrike mb’eo handrendreke an-drolongoko. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ am-pandambaña’ i mpanjakay atoa re.
30 Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the disgrace of the mother who bore you?
Nisolebotse am’ Ionatane ty haviñera’ i Saole, ami’ty hoe: Ty anan-drakemba-piola mengoke tia, tsy apotako hao te jinobo’o ho an-kasalara’o naho ho ami’ty fimeñaram-piboridañan-drene’o i ana’ Iisaiiy?
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingship shall be established. Now send for him and bring him to me, for he must surely die!”
Fa naho mbe veloñe ambone tane atoy i ana’ Iisaiiy, le tsy horizan-drehe, ndra ty fifehea’o. Aa le ahitrifo mb’ amako mb’etoa re, fa mañeva ho mate.
32 “Why must he be put to death?” Jonathan replied. “What has he done?”
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole rae’e: Aa vaho ino ty hañohofan-doza ama’e? Nanao inon-dre?
33 Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David.
Aa le nahiriri’ i Saole ama’e i lefo’ey; vaho napota’ Ionatane te tampa-kevetse ty rae’e hanjevoñ’ i Davide.
34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger and did not eat any food that second day of the month, for he was grieved by his father’s shameful treatment of David.
Niavotse i fandambañañey t’Ionatane ampiforoforoañe, naho tsy nikama amy andro faharoe’ i volañeiy; ami’t’ie nirovetse i Davide vaho nisalaren-drae’e.
35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a small boy was with him.
Ie amy loak’ àndroy, le niavotse mb’ an-kivoke añe t’Ionatane reketse ty anak’ ajalahy amy namantaña’e i Davidey.
36 He said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” And as the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
Le hoe re amy ajalahiy: Akia, hitrifo an-day o ana-pale hahirirìkoo. Aa ie nilay i ajalahiy le nahirirì’e ty ana-pale hilosora’e amy ajalahiy.
37 When the boy reached the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called to him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
Ie nipok’an-toe’ i ana-pale nahirirì’ Ionataney i ajalahiy, le hoe ty koi’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy, Tsy ambali’o ey hao i ana-paley?
38 Then Jonathan cried out, “Hurry! Make haste! Do not delay!” So the boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Le hoe ty fipaza’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy: Malisà irehe, masikà, ko mitoboke ey. Le natonto’ i ajalahiy o ana-paleo vaho nimb’ amy talè’ey mb’eo.
39 But the boy did not know anything; only Jonathan and David knew the arrangement.
Fe tsy napota’ i ajalahiy; Ionatane naho i Davide avao ty nahafohiñe.
40 Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the boy and said, “Go, take it back to the city.”
Natolo’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy o fialia’eo le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, endeso an-drova ao retoy.
41 When the young man had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone, fell facedown, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and wept together—though David wept more.
Ie añe i ajalahiy, le niongak’ an-toe’e atimo ao t’i Davide, naho nibabok’ an-dahara’e an-tane, niondreke intelo; naho nifañoroke iereo vaho nifampirovetse, i Davide ty nandikoatse.
42 And Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be a witness between you and me, and between your descendants and mine forever.’” Then David got up and departed, and Jonathan went back into the city.
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Akia am-panintsiñañe, amy nititihan-tika an-tahina’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ho añivon-tika roe t’Iehovà, naho añivo’ o tirikoo naho o tiri’oo nainai’e. Aa le nienga re nañavelo mb’eo vaho nimoak’ an-drova ao t’Ionatane.
