1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying: 'Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.'
Aa ie nimpoly amy nañorihañe o nte-Pilistioy t’i Saole le natalily aze ty hoe: Inao! am-patrambey En-Gedy añe t’i Davide.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
Rinambe’ i Saole amy zao t’indaty telo arivo jinoboñe amy Israele, hipay i Davide am-batovatoe’ o ose-lìo.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.
Nivotrak’ an-dian’ añondry ao re le teo ty lakato añolon-dalañe ey, nizilik’ ao t’i Saole hanaroñe o fandia’eo ie am-po’ ao t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo.
4 And the men of David said unto him: 'Behold the day in which the LORD hath said unto thee: Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee.' Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
Le hoe o mpiamy Davideo ama’e: Intoy ty andro nafè’ Iehovà ama’o ty hoe: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’o i rafelahi’oy, hanoe’o ama’e ze satrie’o. Aa le niongake t’i Davide le tinampa’e am-pianjiñañe ty riran-tsarimbo’e.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
Ie amy zao, namofoke i Davide ty arofo’e t’ie nanampake i riran-tsarimbo’ i Saoleiy.
6 And he said unto his men: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should do this thing unto my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD'S anointed.'
Le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Sondo’e am’Iehovà, te hanoeko amy talèkoy o raha zao, amy najado’ Iehovày, t’ie hañity tañañe amy noriza’ Iehovày.
7 So 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.
Aa le sineba’ i Davide amy entañe zay ondati’eo, tsy nenga’e hiambotrak’ amy Saole. Niavotse amy lakatoy amy zao t’i Saole nimb’ amy lia’ey mb’eo.
8 David also arose afterward, 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 prostrated himself.
Añe izay, le niongake ka t’i Davide niakatse i lakatoy naho nikoihe’e amy Saole ty hoe: Ry talèko mpanjaka. Ie nitolike t’i Saole hioniñe mañamboho, le nababo’ i Davide mb’an-tane ty lahara’e vaho nidrakadrakake.
9 And David said to Saul: 'Wherefore hearkenest thou to men's words, saying: Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Saole: Aa vaho akore te haoñe’o o enta’ ondatio manao ty hoe: Inao! mipay hijoy azo t’i Davide?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and some 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 LORD'S anointed.
Heheke! isam-pihaino’o henaneke te natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako amy lakatoy irehe anindroany; eo ty nañosik’ ahy hañoho-doza ama’o, f’ie niferenaiña’ o masokoo vaho hoe iraho: Tsy hahitiko mb’ amy talèkoy ty tañako; amy t’ie noriza’ Iehovà.
11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, 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 thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou layest wait for my soul to take it.
Tovo’e ry aba, hehe ty riran-tsarimbo’o an-tañako toy; amy nanampahako o sarimbo’ooy, fe tsy vinonoko; arendreho naho mahaoniña te tsy an-karatiañe ndra fiolàñe o tañakoo vaho tsy nandilatse ama’o ndra te voñone’o ty fiaiko hitavañe aze.
12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Iehovà ty hizaka añivo’o naho izaho, le Iehovà ty hamale fate ahy ama’o; fa tsy ho ama’o ka ty tañako.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients: Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Fa hoe ty razan-tsaontsi’ o taoloo: Boak’ amo lo-tserekeo ty iboaha’ ty halò-tserehañe; fe tsy ho ama’o ty tañako.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
Hañoridañ’ ia ty niakara’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley? ty amboa mate, he ty pia.
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.'
Iehovà arè ty hizaka, hinday tsara añivoko naho ihe, hivazoho, hitaroñe ahy, hamotsora’e am-pità’o.
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said: 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Ie amy zao, naho fa nagado’ i Davide i lañona’e amy Saoley, le hoe t’i Saole: Feo’o hao zao ry anako Davide? Nipoña-peo amy zao t’i Saole, nirovetse.
17 And he said to David: 'Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil.
Le hoe re amy Davide: Vantañe te amako irehe; soa ty nanoa’o ahy vaho raty ty nanoako azo;
18 And thou hast declared this day how that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me up into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
vaho nitalilie’o anindroany ty nanoa’o ahy, te natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’o, le tsy zinevo’o.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that which thou hast done unto me this day.
Aa naho tendrek’ am’ ondaty i rafelahi’ey, henga’e hienga hao? Ee t’ie ho tambeza’ Iehovà amy hasoa nanoe’o amako anindroaniy.
20 And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Aa inao, apotako t’ie ho mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe am-pità’o ty fifeheañe Israele.
21 Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.'
Mifañinà amako arè, amy Iehovà, te tsy haitoa’o o tiriko manonjohy ahio vaho tsy ho mongore’o añ’anjomban-draeko ty añarako.
22 And David swore unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up unto the stronghold.
Le nifanta amy Saole t’i Davide vaho nimpoly t’i Saole; fe nionjomb’ amy fipalirañe fatratsey t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
