Kings I 20
1 And David fled from Navath in Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I done, and what [is] my fault, and wherein have I sinned before your father, that he seeks my life?
Ary Davida nandositra niala tao Naiota any Rama, dia tonga ka nilaza teo anatrehan’ i Jonatana hoe: Inona no nataoko? Inona no heloko? Ary inona no fahotako teo anatrehan-drainao, no dia mitady ny aiko izy?
2 And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from you: you shall not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? This thing is not [so].
Ary hoy izy taminy: Sanatria izany! Tsy ho faty ianao; indro, tsy misy tsy ambaran’ ikaky ahy izay ataony na be na kely, ary hataon’ ikaky ahoana no fanafina izany zavatra izany amiko? Tsy misy izany.
3 And David answered Jonathan, and said, Your father knows surely that I have found grace in your sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but [as] the Lord lives and your soul lives, as I said, [the space] is filled up between me and death.
Ary Davida mbola nianiana indray nanao hoe: Fantatry ny rainao marimarina fa efa mahita fitia eo imasonao aho, ka hoy izy: Aoka tsy ho fantatr’ i Jonatana izany, fandrao malahelo izy; fa raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny fanahinao, toa iray dia monja no anelanelako sy ny fahafatesana.
4 And Jonathan said to David, What does your soul desire, and what shall I do for you.
Dia hoy Jonatana tamin’ i Davida: Na inona na inona no angatahinao, dia hatàoko aminao izany.
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow [is] the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit down to eat, but you shall let me go, and I will hide in the plain till the evening.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Jonatana: Indro, ho tsinam-bolana rahampitso, ary izaho tokony hiara-mipetraka hihinana amin’ ny mpanjaka; nefa avelao aho handeha hiery any an-tsaha ambara-pihavin’ ny afaka ampitso harivariva.
6 And if your father do in anyway enquire for me, then shall you say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for [there is] there, a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
Koa raha hitan’ ny rainao fa tsy eo aho, dia ataovy hoe: Niera fatratra tamiko Davida mba hikaretsaka kely hankany Betlehema tanànany; fa misy fanatitra fanao amin’ izy mianakavy rehetra isan-taona any.
7 If he shall say thus, Well, — [all is] safe for your servant: but if he shall answer harshly to you, know that evil is determined by him.
Ary raha lazainy hoe: Tsara izany, dia fiadanana no ho an’ ny mpanomponao; fa raha tezitra mafy kosa izy, dia aoka ho fantatrao tsara fa misy ratsy ifofoany ahy.
8 And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself: and if there is iniquity in your servant, kill me yourself; but why do you thus bring me to your father?
Koa mamindrà fo amin’ ny mpanomponao; fa nampanaovinao ny faneken’ i Jehovah aminao ny mpanomponao; nefa raha manankeloka aho, dia aoka ianao ihany no hahafaty ahy, fa nahoana no ho entinao any amin’ ny rainao aho?
9 And Jonathan said, That be far from you: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon you, although it should not be against your cities, I will tell you.
Fa hoy Jonatana: Sanatria raha hahazo anao izany! Fa raha fantatro tokoa fa misy ratsy ifofoan’ ikaky anao, dia hambarako aminao mihitsy izany.
10 And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if your father should answer roughly?
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Jonatana: Iza no hanambara izany amiko, na hampandre ahy izay teny sarotra havalin-drainao anao?
11 And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ i Davida: Andeha ary isika hivoaka any an-tsaha. Dia nivoaka tany an-tsaha izy roa lahy.
12 And Jonathan said to David, the Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an opportunity, three several times, and, behold, [if good] should be determined concerning David, and I do not send to you to the field,
Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ i Davida: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, anie ho vavolombelona! Rehefa fotorako tsara rahampitso na afaka ampitso toy izao ny hevitry ny raiko, ka hitako fa misy soa ho an’ i Davida, ka tsy maniraka any aminao aho sy manambara izany aminao,
13 God do so to Jonathan and more also: as I shall [also] report the evil to you, and make it known to you, and I will let you go; and you shall depart in peace, and the Lord shall be with you, as he was with my father.
dia hataon’ i Jehovah toy izany anie Jonatana, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza; fa raha kasain’ ny raiko kosa ny hanisy ratsy anao, dia hambarako aminao izany, ka halefako ianao mba handehananao soa aman-tsara; ary homba anao tahaka ny tamin’ ny raiko anie Jehovah.
14 And if indeed I continue to live, then shall you deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
Ary raha mbola velona ihany aho, dia tsy hasehonao ahy va ny fiantran’ i Jehovah mba tsy hahafaty ahy?
15 you shall not withdraw your mercy from my house for ever: and if you do not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
Ary tsy hesorinao amin’ ny taranako koa ny famindram-ponao mandrakizay, eny, na dia avy aza izay handringanan’ i Jehovah ny fahavalon’ i Davida rehetra tsy ho etỳ ambonin’ ny tany.
16 [should it happen] that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
Ary dia nanao fanekena Jonatana ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida hoe: Jehovah no hamaly ny fahavalon’ i Davida.
17 And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
Ary Jonatana nampianiana an’ i Davida indray noho ny fitiavany azy; fa tiany toy ny tenany izy.
18 And Jonathan said, To-morrow [is] the new moon, and you will be enquired for, because your seat will be observed as vacant.
Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ i Davida: Rahampitso ho tsinam-bolana; ary ho hita fa tsy eo ianao, fa ho foana ny fipetrahanao.
19 And you shall stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shall come to your place where you may hide yourself in the day of your business, and you shall wait by that stone Ezel.
Koa rehefa mby amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia midìna faingana ianao, ary tongava ao amin’ ilay nierenao tamin’ ny andro nitrangan’ ilay raharaha iny, ka mitoera ao anilan’ ny vato Ezela.
20 And I will shoot three arrows, aiming them at a mark.
Ary izaho handefa zana-tsipìka telo eo anilany, toy ny mikendry marika.
21 And behold, I [will] send a lad, saying, Go find me the arrow.
Dia haniraka ny zazalahy aho ka hanao hoe: Mandehana, izahao ny zana-tsipìka. Ka raha lazaiko mihitsy amin’ ilay zazalahy hoe: Indreo eo aorianao ny zana-tsipìka, ento etỳ, dia avia ianao, fa hipetraka amin’ ny fiadanana ianao, ka tsy hisy haninona anao, raha velona koa Jehovah.
22 If I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow [is] here, and on this side of you, take it; [then] come, for it is well with you, and there is no reason [for fear, as] the Lord lives: [but] if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow [is] on that side of you, and beyond; go, for the Lord has sent you away.
Fa raha hoy kosa aho amin’ ilay zazalahy: Indreo eo alohanao ny zana-tsipìka, dia mandehana ianao, fa Jehovah no nampandeha anao.
23 And as for the word which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord [is] witness between me and you for ever.
Ary ny amin’ ilay noresahintsika, dia izaho sy ianao, indro, Jehovah no vavolombelona amiko sy aminao mandrakizay.
24 So David hides himself in the field, and the [new] month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
Ary Davida niery tany an-tsaha. Koa nony tsinam-bolana, dia nipetraka hihinana
25 And he sat upon his seat as in former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan; and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
teo amin’ ny fipetrahany tahaka ny isanandro ihany ny mpanjaka, dia teo amin’ ny fipetrahana teo anilan’ ny rindrina, koa Jonatana nitsangana, fa Abnera nipetraka teo anilan’ i Saoly; ary foana kosa ny fipetrahan’ i Davida.
26 And Saul said nothing on that day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean, because he has not purified himself.
Nefa Saoly tsy niteny na inona na inona tamin’ izany andro izany; fa nataony ho nisy zavatra nanjo azy, ka tsy madio izy, eny, tsy madio izy.
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessae attended both yesterday and today at the table?
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro faharoa dia ny ampitson’ ny tsinam-bolana, ka mbola foana ihany ny fipetrahan’ i Davida, dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Jonatana zanany: Ahoana no tsy mba nahatongavan’ ny zanak’ i Jese hihinana omaly sy androany?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, and said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
Ary Jonatana namaly an’ i Saoly hoe: Davida niera fatratra tamiko hankany Betlehema
29 and he said, Let me go, I pray you, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, I will even go over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the king.
nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, aoka handeha aho, fa izahay mianakavy manao fanatitra any an-tanàna, ka asain’ ny rahalahiko mankany aho; koa ankehitriny, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, masìna ianao, aoka handeha aho hamangy ny rahalahiko; ka izany no tsy mba nahatongavany teto amin’ ny latabatry ny mpanjaka.
30 And Saul was exceedingly angry with Jonathan, and said to him, You son of traitorous damsels! for do I not know that you are an accomplice with the son of Jessae to your same, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
Dia nirehitra tamin’ i Jonatana ny fahatezeran’ i Saoly, ka hoy izy taminy: Hianao zanaky ny vehivavy maditra sy mpiodina, moa tsy fantatro va fa mifidy ny zanak’ i Jese ianao ho henatrao sy ho henatry ny kibon’ ny reninao.
31 For so long as the son of Jessae lives upon the earth, your kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
Fa raha mbola velona etỳ ambonin’ ny tany koa iny zanak’ i Jese iny, dia tsy ho tafatoetra tsara ianao na ny fanjakanao. Koa maniraha haka azy hankatỳ amiko, fa meloka tokony ho faty izy.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? What has he done?
Ary Jonatana namaly an’ i Saoly rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no hatao maty izy? Inona no nataony?
33 And Saul lifted up his spear against Jonathan to kill him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was determined on by his father to kill David.
Ary Saoly nitora-defona handefona azy, ka dia fantatr’ i Jonatana fa nofofoin’ ny rainy hovonoina Davida.
34 And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second [day] of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined [on mischief] against him.
Dia nitsangana niala teo amin’ ny latabatra Jonatana, sady nirehitra ny fahatezerany, ka tsy nihinan-kanina izy tamin’ ny ampitson’ ny tsinam-bolana; fa nalahelo an’ i Davida izy, satria nomen-drainy henatra.
35 And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed [to do] for a signal to David, and a little boy [was] with him.
Ary nony maraina, dia nivoaka nankany an-tsaha Jonatana tamin’ ilay fotoana nataony tamin’ i Davida, ary nisy zazalahy kely nanaraka azy.
36 And he said to the boy, Run, find me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and [Jonathan] shot an arrow, and sent it beyond [him].
Ary hoy Jonatana taminy: Mihazakazaha, ka izahao ny zana-tsipìka alefako. Ary nony nihazakazaka ilay zazalahy, dia nalefany nihoatra azy ny zana-tsipìka.
37 And the boy came to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the lad, and said, The arrow [is] on that side of you and beyond you.
Ary nony efa tonga teo amin’ ilay nipetrahan’ ny zana-tsipìka nalefan’ i Jonatana ilay zazalahy, dia nantsoin’ i Jonatana izy hoe: Tsy ireo alohanao ireo va ny zana-tsipìka?
38 And Jonathan cried out after his boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
Ary Jonatana niantso ilay zazalahy hoe: Haingàna dia haingàna, ka aza mijanonjanona. Ary ny zazalahin’ i Jonatana nanangona ny zana-tsipìka, dia nankeo amin’ ny tompony.
39 And the boy knew nothing, only Jonathan and David [knew].
Nefa ilay zazalahy tsy nahalala na inona na inona; fa Jonatana sy Davida ihany no nahalala ny anton’ izany.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
Dia nomen’ i Jonatana ilay zazalahy ny fiadiany, ka hoy izy taminy: Mandehana, ka ento ho any an-tanàna ireto.
41 And when the lad went in, then David arose from the south, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for a great while.
Ary nony lasa ilay zazalahy, dia nitsangana avy any atsimo Davida, ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany izy sady niondrika in-telo, ary nifanoroka izy roa lahy, ka samy nitomany; nefa ny an’ i Davida dia mafy loatra.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever—[even so let it be]. And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ i Davida: Mandehana soa aman-tsara; fa efa nianiana tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah isika roa lahy hoe: Jehovah no vavolombelona amiko sy aminao ary amin’ ny taranako sy ny taranakao mandrakizay. Dia nitsangana Davida ka lasa; fa Jonatana kosa nankany an-tanàna.
