1 Samuel 14
1 One day Jonathan, son of Saul, said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the Philistine garrison on the other side.” But he didn't let his father know his plans.
Aa teo ty andro te nanao ty hoe amy mpinday fikala’ey t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole: Antao hitsake mb’ ampirai-lia’ o nte-Pilisty an-kalo’ o e hoekeo mb’eo. F’ie tsy nampandrendrek’ an-drae’e.
2 Saul was staying near Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. He had about six hundred men with him,
Nihenekenek’ añ’ ila’ i Gibeà añe t’i Saole ambane’ i ampongabendañitse e Migroney; va’e enen-jato t’indaty nirekets’ ama’e
3 including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, priest of the Lord in Shiloh. No one realized Jonathan had left.
naho i Ahiià, ana’ i Ahitobe, rahalahi’ Ikabode, Ana’ i Pinekase, ana’i Elý mpisoro’ Iehovà e Silò ao, nisikiñe i kitambey. Le tsy napota’ ondatio te tsy teo t’Ionatane.
4 Cliffs stood on both sides of the pass that Jonathan planned to cross to reach the Philistine garrison, one called Bozez and the other Seneh.
Añivo’ i hebam-bohitse nipaia’ Ionatane hitsahañe mb’ amy firimboñam-Pilistiy mb’eoy ty tevañe vatoeñe añ’ ila’e raike naho ty tevam-bato añ’ila’e ka; i Bozeze ty añara’ ty raike, naho Seneke ty añara’ ty raike.
5 The cliff to the north was on the Michmash side, the one to the south on the Geba side.
Nionjoñ’ añ’ila’e avaratse tandrife i Mikmase ty tevañe raike naho atimo tandrife i Geba ty ila’e.
6 Jonathan said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the garrison of these heathen men. Maybe the Lord will help us out. It's not a problem for the Lord to win, whether by many or by few.”
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy ajalahy ninday o fikala’eoy: Antao, hitsake mb’ amy mpirai-lia’ o tsy sinavatseoy hera hañolotse antika t’Iehovà amy te tsy sebañeñe t’Iehovà handrombake he ami’ty maro ke ami’ty tsy ampe.
7 “You choose what you want to do,” the armor-bearer replied. “I'm with you whatever you decide!”
Le hoe i mpinday fikala’ey: Anò iaby ze añ’arofo’o; mitoliha, hehe te ama’o iraho, ndra ino ty satrin’ arofo’o.
8 “Let's go then!” Jonathan said. “We'll cross over in their direction so they can see us.
Aa le hoe t’Ionatane, Inao! hitsake mb’ am’ ondaty reo tika, hiatreatre iareo.
9 If they tell us, ‘Wait there until we come down to you,’ we will wait where we are and we won't go up to them.
Aa naho anoe’ iareo ty hoe, Ey avao ampara’ te pok’ ama’ areo eo zahay; le hijohañe eo avao tika, fa tsy hiañambone mb’ ama’e.
10 But if they say, ‘Come on up to us,’ we'll climb up, for that will be the sign that the Lord has handed them over to us.”
F’ie manao ty hoe: Mionjona mb’ ama’ay mb’atoy. Le hionjomb’eo tika, fa tinolo’ Iehovà an-tañan-tika; izay ty ho viloñe aman-tika.
11 So both of them let themselves be seen by Philistine garrison. “Hey, look!” shouted the Philistines. “The Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in.”
Le nivotrak’ amy mpirai-liam-Pilistiy, iereo roe; le hoe ty asa’ o nte-Pilistio: Hehe te mipororoake boak’ an-koboñe fipalira’e ao o nte-Evreo.
12 The men from the garrison called down to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up here, and we'll teach you a thing or two!” “Follow me up,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.”
Aa le hoe ty asa’ ondati’ i mpirai-liaio am’ Ionatane naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey: Mionjona mb’ ama’ay mb’etoa, hanoroa’ay raha. Aa le hoe t’Ionatane amy mpitàm-pikala’ey, Oriho iraho te hionjoñe; fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ Israele iereo.
13 So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. Jonathan attacked and killed them, and his armor-bearer followed doing the same.
Aa le nanganike mb’eo am-pitàñe naho am-pandia t’Ionatane, le nañorike aze i mpinday fikala’ey; vaho nikorovoke aolo’ Ionatane iereo; le namono am-boho’e eo i mpinday fikala’ey.
14 In this first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed about twenty men over an area of half an acre.
Va’e roapolo ty zinama’ Ionatane naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey amy valoha’e zay, an-tampan-tonda mete ho folahe’ ty katràka roe an-dasarý.
15 Then Philistines went into a panic, in the camp, in the field, and throughout their army. Even those in the outposts and the groups of raiders became terrified. The earth shook—this was a panic from God.
Inay ty fihondrahondràñe an-tobe ao naho an-kivoke ey, naho am’ ondaty iabio; i mpirai-liay naho o mpijoio songa nititititike vaho nanginikinike i taney; aa le nionjo ho firevendreveñañe aman’ Añahare.
16 Saul's lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away, scattering in all directions.
Tinalake’ o mpijilo’ i Saole e Gibeate-Beniamineo; le hehe te nitranak’ añe i valobohòkey nifanjevoñe avao.
17 Saul told the soldiers with him, “Do a roll-call and find out who isn't here with us.” When they did the roll-call, they discovered that Jonathan and his armor-bearer weren't there.
Le hoe t’i Saole am’ondaty nirekets’ ama’eo: Volilio henaneo, haharendreke te ia ty nienga antika. Aa ie namolily, inao tsy eo t’Ionatane naho i mpinday fikala’ey.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the Ark of God here.” (At the time the Ark of God traveled with the Israelites.)
Aa le hoe t’i Saole amy Akià: Endeso mb’etoa ty vatam-pañinan’ Añahare. Amy te tamo ana’ Israeleo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey henane zay.
19 But as Saul was speaking to the priest, the commotion coming from the Philistine camp grew louder and louder. So Saul told the priest, “Forget it!”
Ie amy zao, naho nisaontsy amy mpisoroñey t’i Saole le nitolom-pivalitaboak’ an-tobe’e ao avao o nte-Pilistio vaho niindra; le nanao ty hoe amy mpisoroñey t’i Saole. Ahankaño o fità’oo.
20 Then Saul and all his army assembled and went into battle. They discovered the Philistines were in total disarray, attacking each other with swords.
Nifanontoñe eo rekets’ i valobohò’ey t’i Saole naho nionjom-ban-kotakotake mb’eo vaho nizoeñe te songa nifanjamañe am-pibara o mpirañetseo, nifamalitsikotake.
21 The Hebrews who had previously sided with the Philistines, and who were with them in their camp, switched sides and joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Ie amy zao nitolike hirekets’ amo ana’ Israele mpiamy Saole naho Ionataneo o nte-Evre niharo amo nte-Pilisty nimpindre fionjo ama’e mb’an-tobe ao boak’ am-pariparitse añe taoloo.
22 When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were running away, they also joined in chasing after the Philistines to attack them.
Hambañe amy zay, o hene ondati’ Israele nietak’ am-bohibohi’ i Efraimeo; ie nahajanjiñe te nivoratsake mb’eo o nte-Pilistio, le nihoridà’ iareo fatratse am-pifandraparapahañe.
23 On that day the Lord saved Israel, and the battle extended past Beth-aven.
Aa le rinomba’ Iehovà t’Israele amy andro zay, vaho nivelatse pak’ e Bete-avene i hotakotakey.
24 It was difficult for the men of Israel that day because Saul had ordered the army to take an oath, saying, “Cursed is anyone who eats anything before evening, before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So no one in the army had eaten anything.
Toe ni-ampoheke ondati’ Israeleo amy andro zay; ty amy fetse natao’ i Saole am’ondatio an-titike ty hoe: Fàtse t’indaty mikama ze atao haneñe am-para’ te hariva, hañondrohako an-drafelahiko ty avake. Aa le tsy eo ty nitsopeke mahakama.
25 When they all entered the forest they found honeycomb on the ground.
Hene nitandroake mb’amy alay o an-tane eio, ie an-tane eo ty tantele.
26 While they were in the forest they saw the honey running out, but no one picked it up to eat it because they were all afraid of the oath they had taken.
Naho nizilik’ amy alay ondatio, hehe te nitsopetsopehen-tanteley, fa leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy nanao fitàñe am-palie amy fihembaña’ iareo i fetseiy.
27 But Jonathan hadn't heard that his father had ordered the army to take this oath. So he stuck the end of his stick into the honeycomb, picked up a piece to eat, and he felt much better.
Fe tsy napota’ Ionatane i fantok’ am-pàtse nanoen-drae’e am’ondatio; aa le natoho’e mb’eo ty kobay am-pità’e naho najo’e amy papi-tanteley, naho nanoe’e am-palie i fità’ey, vaho nahiratse o fihaino’eo.
28 But one of the soldiers told him, “Your father made the army take a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is anyone who eats anything today!’ That is why the men are exhausted.”
Aa le hoe ty asa’ ty raik’ am’ ondatio: Fa nafanton-drae’o am-pànta te: Fàtse ze ondaty mitsopeke mahakama anito; fe midazidazìtse ondatio.
29 “My father has caused a whole lot of trouble for everyone,” Jonathan replied. “See how well I am because I've eaten a little of this honey.
Le hoe t’Ionatane: Nanolo-tsotry amo taneo ty raeko: Hehe fa mahiratse o masokoo, ie nitsopeke amo tanteleo,
30 It would have been so much better if only the army had eaten plenty today from the plunder taken from their enemies! How many more Philistines would have been killed?”
antsake te songa nidada am-pikamañe o raha kinopake nitendrek’ amo rafelahi’eoo ondatio. Tsy ho nimaro hao ty nizamañe amo nte-Pilistio?
31 After defeating the Philistines that day, killing them from Michmash to Aijalon, the Israelites were totally exhausted.
Aa le linafa’ iareo o nte-Pilistio boake Mikmase pak’ Aialone añe; fe toe nikolempa ondatio.
32 They grabbed the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves, and slaughtered them right there on the ground. But they ate them with the blood.
Niambotrak’ amy kinopakey ondatio, nandrambe añondry naho añombe naho sarake, naho linenta’ iareo an-tane, vaho nikama’ ondatio ie mbe aman-dio.
33 Saul was told, “Look, the men are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.” “Law-breakers!” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here right now!”
Aa le natalily amy Saole, ty hoe: Inao! manao hakeo am’ Iehovà ondatio, mikama reke-dio. Le hoe re: Nandilatse nahareo: Amariño vato jabajaba amako aniany.
34 Then he said, “Go around the soldiers and tell them, ‘Every man must bring me his cattle or his sheep and slaughter them here, and then eat. Don't sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.’” Everyone in the army brought what he had and slaughtered it there that night.
Le hoe t’i Saole: Tsitsiho ondatio le anò ty hoe: Songa mindesa vosy mb’ amako mb’etoa ondatio, sindre mindesa ty añondri’e ho lentaeñe etoa vaho ho kamae’e fa ko manao hakeo am’ Iehovà am-pikamàñ’ aze aman-dio. Aa le fonga ninday ty añombe’e mb’eo ondatio vaho nandenta aze eo.
35 So Saul built an altar to the Lord. This was the first altar he had built to the Lord.
Le namboatse kitrely am’Iehovà t’i Saole, toe ie ty kitrely valoha’e niranjie’e am’Iehovà.
36 Saul said, “Let's go and chase down the Philistines during night and plunder them till dawn, leaving no survivors.” “Do what you think best,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let's ask God first.”
Le hoe t’i Saole: Antao hizotso mb’ amo nte-Pilistio mb’eo haleñe hikopake ampara’ te porea’ ty maraindray, vaho tsy hapon-tika leo raik’ am’ondati’eo. Le hoe iereo: Ano ze satri’ ty arofo’o. Fa hoe i mpisoroñey, antao hey hañarine aman’ Añahare.
37 Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and chase down the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But that day God didn't answer him.
Aa le nihalaly fanoroañe aman’ Añahare t’i Saole: Hizotso mb’ amo nte-Pilistio hao iraho? Hatolo’o am-pità’ Israele hao? Fe tsy natoi’e amy andro zay.
38 So Saul gave the order, “All you army commanders, come here so we can investigate what sin has happened today.
Le hoe t’i Saole: Miharinea iaby ry mpiaolo’ ondatio; itsikaraho ty nametsahañe i hakeo anindroaniy.
39 I swear on the life of the Lord who saves Israel, that even if it's my son Jonathan, he will have to die!” But no one of the whole army said anything.
Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mpandrombake Israele, ndra t’ie am’ Ionatane ana-dahikoy, le toe havetrake. Fe leo raik’ am’ ondaty iabio tsy nanoiñe.
40 Saul told them all, “You stand over to one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the opposite side.” “Do what you think best,” the army replied.
Aa le hoe re amy Israele iaby: Añ’ila’e nahareo, vaho añ’ ila’e atoy iraho naho Ionatane anakoy. Le hoe ondatio amy Saole: Ano ze atao’o ho soa.
41 Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Let the Thummin show.” Jonathan and Saul were identified, while everyone else was cleared.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Taroño ty hato. Jinoboñe an-kitsapak’ amy zao t’Ionatane naho i Saole; le nivotsotse i màroy.
42 Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” Jonathan was selected.
Aa hoe t’i Saole: Ano an-tsapake ka, izaho naho Ionatane anako. Nivoa t’Ionatane.
43 “Tell me what you have done,” Saul asked Jonathan. “I just tasted a little honey with the end of my stick,” Jonathan told him. “Here I am, and I have to die.”
Aa hoe t’i Saole am’ Ionatane: Atalilio ahiko o nanoe’oo. Le natalili’ Ionatane ama’e ty hoe: Toe nitsopeke tantele tsy ampe añ’ ilan-kobaiko an-tañako; intoy, izaho ty hikenkañe.
44 Saul said, “May God punish me very severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”
Le hoe t’i Saole: Ehe hanoan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse izay naho tsy hihomake irehe Ionatane.
45 But the people told Saul, “Does Jonathan have to die, the one who achieved this great victory in Israel? Absolutely not! We swear on the life of the Lord, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, for it was with God's help that he achieved this today.” The people saved Jonathan, and he didn't die.
Fe hoe ondatio amy Saole: Havetrake hao t’Ionatane, ie nañeneke fandrombahañe jabajaba e Israele atoa? Lavits’ aze izay; Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, leo raik’ amo maròy añ’ambone’eo tsy hihintsañe an-tane; amy t’ie nitoloñe an’ Andrianañahare anindroany. Aa le navotso’ ondatireo t’Ionatane tsy hihomake,
46 Saul stopped chasing down the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own country.
le nienga tsy nañorike o nte-Pilistio ka t’i Saole; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo o nte-Pilistio.
47 After Saul had made his hold over Israel secure, he fought against all his enemies all around: Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Whatever direction he went he defeated them all.
Aa le rinambe i Saole ty fifeheañe Israele, naho nialia’e iaby mb’atia mb’eroa o rafelahi’eo; e Moabe naho amo ana’ i Amoneo, Edome naho amo mpanjaka’ i Tsobao, vaho amo nte-Pilistio; aa ndra aia ty nitoliha’e le nampisotrie’e.
48 He fought bravely, conquering the Amalekites, saving Israel from those who plundered them.
Nanontoñe lahialen-dre le zinevo’e o nte Amalekeo vaho navotso’e am-pità’ o mpikopake iareoo t’Israele.
49 Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. The names of his two daughters were Merab, (the firstborn), and Michal, (the younger one).
Zao o ana-dahi’ i Saoleo, Ionatane, naho Isvý vaho i Malki-soà; le ty añara’ ty anak’ ampela’e roe: i Merabe ty zoke’e, naho Mikale ty zai’e;
50 The name of his wife was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of Saul's army commander was Abner, son of Ner, and Ner was Saul's uncle.
naho ty tahinan-tañanjomba’ i Saole: i Akinoame, ana’ i Akimàtse; ty tahina’ i mpifeleke i valobohò’eiy: i Abnere, ana’ i Nere, anan-drahalahin-drae’ i Saole.
51 Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.
I Kise ty rae’i Saole; vaho ana’ i Abiele t’i Nere rae’ i Abnere.
52 Throughout Saul's lifetime there was constant war with the Philistines. Saul recruited into his army every strong warrior and every brave fighter that he met.
Nitolom-pialy amo nte-Pilistio nainai’e t’i Saole amo hene andro’eo, aa ndra mb’ia nahaisake fanalolahy t’i Saole, le rinambe’e ho ama’e.
