1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
Ary rehefa niverina avy nanenjika ny Filistina Saoly, dia nisy nanambara taminy hoe; Indro, Davida any an-efitr’ i En-jedy.
2 And Saul took three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
Ary Saoly naka telo arivo lahy voafantina tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka lasa nitady an’ i Davida sy ny olony tany amin’ ny vatolampin’ ny osi-dia.
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet; and David and his men were abiding in the recesses of the cave.
Ary tonga teo amin’ ny valan’ ondry tamoron-dalana izay nisy zohy izy, ka niditra tao Saoly mba hiavela; nefa Davida sy ny olony efa nipetraka tao anatin’ ny zohy.
4 And David's men said to him, Behold the day of which Jehovah said to thee, Behold, I will give thine enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. And David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.
Ary hoy ny olon’ i Davida taminy: Izao no andro nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao hoe: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tananao ny fahavalonao hataonao araka izay sitrakao. Dia nitsangana Davida ka nitsaitsaika nanapaka ny sisin’ ny kapôtin’ i Saoly.
5 And it came to pass afterwards that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
Nefa nony efa vita izany, dia namely an’ i Davida ny eritreriny noho ny nanapahany ny sisin’ ny kapôtin’ i Saoly,
6 And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.
ka hoy izy tamin’ ny olony: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha hanao izany zavatra izany amin’ ny tompoko izay voahosotr’ i Jehovah ka haninjitra ny tanako aminy, fa voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy.
7 And David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.
Dia nampijanona ny mpanompony tamin’ izany teny izany Davida ka tsy namela azy hitsangana hamely an’ i Saoly. Ary Saoly nitsangana ka niala tao an-johy, dia nandeha tamin’ izay nalehany.
8 David also arose afterwards, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia mba nitsangana koa Davida ka niala tao an-johy koa, dia niantso an’ i Saoly ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô! Ary nony nitodika azy Saoly, dia niondrika tamin’ ny tany Davida ka niankohoka.
9 And David said to Saul, Why dost thou listen to words of men, saying, Behold, David seeks thy hurt?
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Nahoana ianao no maka vavan’ olona hoe: Indro, Davida mitady hanisy ratsy anao?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had given thee this day into my hand in the cave; and they bade me kill thee; but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.
Indro, hitan’ ny masonao androany ny nanoloran’ i Jehovah anao ho eo an-tanako tao an-johy; ary nisy nilaza hevitra hamonoana anao, saingy niantra anao ny masoko, ka hoy izaho: Tsy haninjitra ny tanako amin’ ny tompoko aho, fa voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy.
11 And see, my father, yes, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand. For in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou liest in wait for my life to take it.
Ary koa, ry ikaky ô, jereo dia jereo ange ny sisin’ ny kapôtinao etỳ an-tanako; fa raha nanapaka ny sisin’ ny kapôtinao aho, fa tsy nahafaty anao, dia izahao ka fantaro fa tsy misy faharatsiana na fahadisoana amin’ ny tanako, ary tsy nanota taminao aho, nefa ianao kosa mihaza ny aiko mba hahafaty azy.
12 Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Jehovah no hitsara ahy sy ianao, ary Jehovah no hamaly anao noho ny amiko, fa ny tanako tsy mba haninona anao.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Araka ny lazain’ ny ohabolan’ ny ntaolo hoe: Avy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy no ivoahan’ ny ratsy, nefa ny tanako tsy haninona anao.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a single flea.
Hitady an’ iza no nivoahan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely? Iza no enjehinao? Amboa maty; parasy iray.
15 Jehovah therefore shall be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and do me justice [in delivering me] out of thy hand.
Aoka Jehovah no ho mpitsara, ka dia hitsara ahy sy ianao ary hijery sy handahatra ho ahy ka hanafaka ahy amin’ ny tananao.
16 And as soon as David had ended speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
Ary nony vita izany teny nataon’ i Davida tamin’ i Saoly izany, dia hoy Saoly: Feonao va izany, ry Davida zanako ô? Ary Saoly nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany;
17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
ary hoy izy tamin’ i Davida: Marina noho izaho ianao; fa ianao dia nanisy soa ahy, fa izaho kosa namaly ratsy anao.
18 And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered me up into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
Ary ianao dia naneho androany ny nanaovanao soa tamiko, fa na dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tananao aza aho, dia tsy nahafaty ahy ianao.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore Jehovah reward thee good for that thou hast done to me this day.
Fa moa raha misy olona mahazo ny fahavalony, havelany handeha soa aman-tsara va izy? Koa hovalian’ i Jehovah soa anie ianao noho ny nataonao tamiko androany.
20 And now behold, I know that thou shalt certainly be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Ary, indro, ankehitriny fantatro fa ho mpanjaka tokoa ianao, ary ny fanjakan’ ny Isiraely ho tafatoetra tsara eo an-tananao.
21 Swear now therefore to me by Jehovah, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
Koa mianiàna amiko amin’ i Jehovah ianao ankehitriny fa tsy handringana ny taranako mandimby ahy ianao, ary tsy hovonoinao amin’ ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko ny anarako.
22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; and David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Ary Davida dia nianiana tamin’ i Saoly; ary dia lasa nody Saoly, fa Davida sy ny olony kosa niakatra nankany amin’ ny batery fiarovana.
