< 2 Samuel 1 >
1 And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag.
Ary nony maty Saoly, ary niverina avy namono ny Amalekita Davida, dia nitoetra indroa andro tao Ziklaga izy.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, indro, nisy lehilahy iray tonga avy tany amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Saoly, triatra ny akanjony sady nihosin-tany ny lohany; ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ i Davida izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany ka nitsaoka.
3 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
Ary hoy Davida taminy: Avy taiza moa ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Afaka nandositra avy tany amin’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely aho.
4 And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
Ary hoy Davida taminy: Nanao ahoana izay tany? Masìna ianao, ambarao amiko. Dia hoy izy: Ny olona nandositra tamin’ ny ady, ary be koa ny miampatrampatra sy maty, ary maty koa Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
5 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo niteny taminy: Ahoana no nahafantaranao fa maty Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
6 And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
Dia nanambara taminy ilay zatovo nanao hoe: Sendra tao an-tendrombohitra Gilboa aho, ary, indro, Saoly nitehina tamin’ ny lefony; ary, indreo, ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly nanenjika azy mafy.
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
Dia niherika izy ka nahita ahy; ary niantso ahy izy, ka hoy izaho: Inty aho.
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Iza moa ianao? Dia hoy izaho taminy: Amalekita aho.
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.
Ary hoy indray izy tamiko: Masìna ianao, hatony kely aho, ka vonoy, fa marary mivonkina ozatra aho, fa mbola ato anatiko ihany ny aiko.
10 So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
Dia nanatona azy aho ka namono azy, satria fantatro fa tsy ho velona izy, rehefa resy, ka dia nalaiko ny satro-boninahiny teo an-dohany sy ny fehin-tanana teo amin’ ny sandriny, ka nentiko etỳ amin’ ny tompoko izany.
11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.
Dia noraisin’ i Davida ny fitafiany ka notriariny: ary dia mba nanao toy izany koa ny olona rehetra teo aminy.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
Ary nisaona sy nitomany sy nifady hanina ambara-paharivan’ ny andro izy noho ny amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany sy ny olon’ i Jehovah ary ny taranak’ Isiraely, satria lavon-tsabatra ireny.
13 And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo nanambara taminy: Avy aiza ianao? Ary hoy izy: Zanaky ny vahiny Amalekita aho.
14 And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
Dia hoy Davida taminy: Nahoana ianao no tsy natahotra haninjitra ny tananao hamono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah?
15 Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that he died.
Dia niantso zatovo anankiray Davida ka nanao hoe: Hatony io, ka vonoy; dia nasiany izy ka maty.
16 And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
ary hoy Davida taminy: Aoka ny rànao ho eo amin’ ny lohanao, satria ny vavanao ihany no efa niampanga anao nanao hoe: Izaho no namono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
Ary Davida nisaona an’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany tamin’ izao hira fisaonana izao
18 and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —
(ary nasainy nampianarina ny taranak’ i Joda ny hira atao hoe Tsipika; indro, voasoratra ao amin’ ny Bokin’ i Jasara izany):
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
Ilay voninahitrao, ry Isiraely, no voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao; Endrey! Lavo ny mahery!
20 Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza torinareo ho fifaliana any an-dalamben’ i Askelona. Fandrao mifaly ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina. Fandrao miravoravo ny zanakavavin’ ny tsy mifora.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.
Hianareo tendrombohitra Gilboa, Aza misy ando aman’ orana intsony eny aminareo, na saha angalana fanatitra asandratra, satria tany no nandotoana ny ampingan’ ny mahery, Dia ny ampingan’ i Saoly, ka tsy nohosorana diloilo.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.
Ny tsipìkan’ i Jonatana tsy nihemotra. Raha tsy nahazo ny ran’ ny maty sy ny tavin’ ny mahery; ary ny sabatr’ i Saoly tsy mba niverina foana.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saoly sy Jonatana, izay tiana sady mahate-ho-tia fony fahavelony, dia tsy nosarahina na dia tamin’ ny nahafatesany aza; Faingana noho ny voromahery izy ary mahery noho ny liona.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
Ry zanakavavin’ Isiraely, mitomania an’ i Saoly, fa nahafinaritra ny mampitafiany jaky anareo, sady nasiany firava-bolamena ny fitafianareo.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
Endrey! lavo teo amin’ ny ady ny mahery voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao Jonatana.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
Ory noho ny aminao aho, ry Jonatana rahalahiko; nahafinaritra ahy indrindra ianao; nahagaga ny fitiavanao ahy mihoatra noho ny fitiavan’ ny vehivavy.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
Endrey! lavo ny mahery, ary levona ny fiadiana!
