1 Samuel 26
1 Againe the Ziphims came vnto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide him selfe in the hill of Hachilah before Ieshimon?
Ary ny Zifita tonga tao amin’ i Saoly tany Gibea ka nanao hoe: Tsy miery any amin’ ny havoana Hakila manandrify ny efitra va Davida?
2 Then Saul arose, and went downe to the wildernes of Ziph, hauing three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, for to seeke Dauid in the wildernesse of Ziph.
Dia niainga Saoly nidina nankany an-efitr’ i Zifa, nitondra telo arivo lahy voafantina tamin’ ny Isiraely hanaraka azy hitady an’ i Davida any an-efitr’ i Zifa.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Ieshimon by the way side. Now Dauid abode in the wildernesse, and he sawe that Saul came after him into the wildernesse.
Ary nitoby tao amin’ ny havoana Hakila manandrify ny efitra teo amoron-dalana izy. Fa Davida kosa nitoetra tany an-efitra, ary hitany fa tonga nanaraka azy tany an-efitra Saoly.
4 (For Dauid had sent out spies, and vnderstood, that Saul was come in very deede)
Dia naniraka mpisafo Davida, ka fantany fa tonga tokoa Saoly.
5 Then Dauid arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched, and when Dauid beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the sonne of Ner which was his chiefe captaine, (for Saul lay in the fort, and the people pitched round about him)
Dia niainga Davida ka tonga teo amin’ ny nitobian’ i Saoly; ary hitan’ i Davida izay nandrian’ i Saoly sy Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, komandin’ ny miaramilany; fa Saoly nandry teo anatin’ ny sehatra-sariety, sady nitoby nanodidina azy ny vahoaka.
6 Then spake Dauid, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah, brother to Ioab, saying, Who will go downe with me to Saul to the hoste? Then Abishai said, I will goe downe with thee.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Ahimeleka Hetita sy Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, rahalahin’ i Joaba; Iza no hidina hiaraka amiko ho any amin’ i Saoly any an-toby? Dia hoy Abisay: Izaho hidina hiaraka aminao.
7 So Dauid and Abishai came downe to the people by night: and beholde, Saul lay sleeping within the fort, and his speare did sticke in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Ary tonga tao amin’ ny vahoaka Davida sy Abisay nony alina; ary, indro, Saoly nandry ka natory teo anatin’ ny sehatra-sariety, ary ny lefony nitsatoka amin’ ny tany teo anilan’ ny lohany; fa Abnera sy ny vahoaka nandry manodidina azy.
8 Then saide Abishai to Dauid, God hath closed thine enemie into thine hande this day: now therefore, I pray thee, let me smite him once with a speare to the earth, and I will not smite him againe.
Ary hoy Abisay tamin’ i Davida: Efa voahidin’ Andriamanitra eo an-tananao ny fahavalonao izao; koa, masìna ianao, aoka holefoniko indray mandeha monja hataoko miboroaka amin’ ny tany izy, fa tsy hamely azy indroa akory aho.
9 And Dauid sayde to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can lay his hand on the Lordes anoynted, and be giltlesse?
Fa hoy Davida tamin’ i Abisay: Aza mamono azy; fa iza no maninjitra ny tànany tamin’ ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah ka tsy nanan-tsiny?
10 Moreouer Dauid said, As the Lord liueth, eyther the Lord shall smite him, or his day shall come to dye, or he shall descend into battel, and perish.
Ary hoy koa Davida: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia aoka Jehovah no hamely azy; na ho tonga ny androny, ka ho faty izy; na hirotsaka ho amin’ ny ady izy, ka any no hahafaty azy.
11 The Lord keepe mee from laying mine hand vpon the Lordes anointed: but, I pray thee, take now the speare that is at his head, and the pot of water, and let vs goe hence.
Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha haninjitra ny tanako hamely ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah aho; fa masìna ianao, ny lefona eo anilan’ ny lohany sy ny tavoara fitondran-drano no alao, dia andeha isika handeha.
12 So Dauid tooke the speare and the pot of water from Sauls head, and they gate them away, and no man saw it, nor marked it, neither did any awake, but they were all asleepe: for the Lord had sent a dead sleepe vpon them.
Dia nalain’ i Davida ny lefona sy ny tavoara izay teo anilan’ ny lohan’ i Saoly ka dia lasa izy, ary tsy nisy olona nahita, na nahalala, na nahatsiaro; fa natory izy rehetra, satria nataon’ i Jehovah renoky ny torimaso izy.
13 Then Dauid went vnto the other side, and stoode on the toppe of an hill a farre off, a great space being betweene them.
Dia nita nankeny an-dafin-tsaha Davida ka nijanona teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra lavidavitra (lavidavitra ihany ny elanelan’ izy roa tonta);
14 And Dauid cryed to the people, and to Abner the sonne of Ner, saying, Hearest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered, and said, Who art thou that cryest to the King?
ary Davida niantso ny olona sy Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, hoe: Tsy mamaly va ianao, ry Abnera? Ary Abnera dia namaly hoe: Iza moa ianao, no miantso ho re eto anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka?
15 And Dauid said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lorde the King? for there came one of the folke in to destroy the King thy lord.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abnera: Tsy lehilahy mahery va ianao, ary iza no tahaka anao amin’ ny Isiraely? Koa nahoana ianao no tsy miambina ny mpanjaka tomponao? fa nisy anankiray tamin’ ny olona tonga teo hamono ny mpanjaka tomponao.
16 This is not well done of thee: as the Lord liueth, ye are worthy to dye, because ye haue not kept your master the Lordes Anointed: and now see where the Kings speare is, and the pot of water that was at his head.
Tsy mety izany nataonao izany. Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tokony ho faty ianareo, satria tsy miambina ny tomponareo, ilay voahosotr’ i Jehovah Ary izahao ange, fa aiza moa ny lefon’ ny mpanjaka sy ny tavoara fitondran-drano teo anilan’ ny lohany?
17 And Saul knewe Dauids voyce, and sayde, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? And Dauid sayde, It is my voyce, my lorde O King.
Ary fantatr’ i Saoly ny feon’ i Davida ka hoy izy: Feonao moa izany, ry Davida zanako? Ary hoy Davida: Feoko tokoa, ry mpanjaka tompoko.
18 And he sayde, Wherefore doeth my lorde thus persecute his seruant? for what haue I done? or what euill is in mine hand?
Ary hoy koa izy: Nahoana ny tompoko no manenjika ny mpanompony? Inona no nataoko, ary inona no ratsy amin’ ny tanako?
19 Now therefore, I beseech thee, let my lord the King heare the wordes of his seruant. If the Lord haue stirred thee vp against me, let him smell the sauour of a sacrifice: but if the children of men haue done it, cursed be they before the Lord: for they haue cast me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Goe, serue other gods.
Ary ankehitriny masìna ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko, mihainoa ny tenin’ ny mpanomponao. Raha Jehovah no nanesika anao hamely ahy, dia aoka handray fanatitra mani-pofona Izy; fa raha zanak’ olona kosa, dia aoka ho voaozona eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy, satria efa nandroaka ahy androany tsy hanana anjara amin’ ny lova nomen’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, manompoa andriamani-kafa.
20 Nowe therefore let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the King of Israel is come out to seeke a flea, as one would hunt a partridge in the mountaines.
Koa aza avela ho latsaka amin’ ny tany lavitra an’ i Jehovah ny rako; fa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nivoaka nitady parasy iray, tahaka ny manenjika tsipoy eny an-tendrombohitra.
21 Then sayde Saul, I haue sinned: come againe, my sonne Dauid: for I will doe thee no more harme, because my soule was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I haue done foolishly, and haue erred exceedingly.
Ary hoy Saoly: Efa nanota aho: miverena, ry Davida zanako, fa tsy hanisy ratsy anao intsony aho, fa soa teo imasonao ny aiko androany; indro, efa nanao adala aho ka diso indrindra.
22 Then Dauid answered, and saide, Beholde the Kings speare, let one of the yong men come ouer and set it.
Ary Davida namaly hoe: Indro ny lefon’ ny mpanjaka! koa asaovy misy zatovo anankiray mankety haka azy.
23 And let the Lord rewarde euery man according to his righteousnesse and faithfulnesse: for the Lord had deliuered thee into mine handes this day, but I woulde not lay mine hand vpon the Lords anointed.
Ny lehilahy izay nanoloran’ i Jehovah anao teo an-tànany androany dia hovaliany araka ny fahitsiany sy ny fahamarinany, fa tsy nety naninjitra ny tanako hamely ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah aho.
24 And beholde, like as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes: so let my life be set by in the eyes of the Lord, that he may deliuer me out of all tribulation.
Ary, indro, fa tahaka ny nanaovako ny aina ho lehibe androany no mba hanaovan’ i Jehovah ny aiko ho lehibe kosa ka hanafahany ahy amin’ ny fahoriana rehetra.
25 Then Saul said to Dauid, Blessed art thou, my sonne Dauid: for thou shalt doe great things, and also preuaile. So Dauid went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Hotahina anie ianao, ry Davida zanako; hanao dia hanao ianao sady hahatontosa. Dia lasa Davida, fa Saoly kosa nitodi-doha hiverina.
