1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?'
Niheo amy Saole e Gibà mb’eo o nte Zifeo nanao ty hoe: Tsy mietak’ an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ Iesimone ao hao t’i Davide?
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Aa le niavotse mb’ am-patrambei’ i Zife mb’eo t’i Saole, reketse ty ana’ Israele telo-arivo jinoboñe, hikodebe i Davide am-patrambei’ i Zife ao.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Nitobe an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ i fatrambeiy añ’ olon-dalañe eo t’i Saole. Nipalitse am-patrambey ao t’i Davide vaho nirendre’e te nañoridañe aze mb’am-patrambey mb’eo t’i Saole.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
Aa le nañirake mpitingañe t’i Davide hamente te toe nivotrak’ ao t’i Saole.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the barricade, and the people pitched round about him.
Niongake le nimb’ amy toetse nitobea’ i Saole mb’eoy t’i Davide vaho nioni’ i Davide ty nandrea’ i Saole naho i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, te nàndre am-piarikatohañe ao t’i Saole ie nitobe añariary aze ondatio.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying: 'Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?' And Abishai said: 'I will go down with thee.'
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akimeleke, nte-Kete naho amy Abisay, ana’ i Tseroià, rahalahi’ Ioabe, Ia ty hindre amako hizotso mb’ amy Saole an-tobe mb’eo? Le hoe t’i Abisay, Hindrezako.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the barricade, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Aa le niheo mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo haleñe t’i Davide naho i Abisay, le ingo t’i Saole mandre, mirotse añivo’ i toetsey eo, i lefo’ey nitsatok’ an-tane marine’ i añambone’ey vaho nandre niarikoboñe aze t’i Abnere naho ondaty iabio.
8 Then said Abishai to David: 'God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.'
Le hoe t’i Abisay amy Davide: Toe natolon’ Añahare am-pità’o androany i rafelahi’oy; aa ehe, angao hataoko tombok’ avots’ an-defon-dre an-tane eo, vaho tsy hindroeko.
9 And David said to Abishai: 'Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?'
Fa hoe t’i Davide amy Abisay: Ko joie’o; ia ty hañonjo haok’ amy noriza’ Iehovày t’ie tsy hanañ’ kakeo?
10 And David said: 'As the LORD liveth, nay, but the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and be swept away.
Le hoe t’i Davide; Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, Aiy! ke ho lafa’ Iehovà, he ho avy ty androm-pihomaha’e, he t’ie hizotso an-kotakotake ao hihomake.
11 The LORD forbid it me, that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water and let us go.'
Sondo’e am’ Iehovà te izaho ro hañiti-tañañe amy noriza’ Iehovày; fe ehe rambeso i lefoñe añ’ambone’ey naho i zonjon-drano’ey le hienga tika.
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
Aa le nendese’ i Davide i lefoñe naho zonjoñe añambone’ i Saoley eo le nienga, leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy nahaisake, tsy nahafohiñe vaho tsy nitsekake, songa nirotse amy t’e nampilañahe’ Iehovà.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them.
Aa le nitsake mb’añ’ila’e ey hoeke ey t’i Davide, le nijohañe an-kaboañe eñe; heba’e jabajaba ty añivo’ iereo.
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: 'Answerest thou not, Abner?' Then Abner answered and said: 'Who art thou that criest to the king?'
Le nikoik’ am’ondatio naho amy Abnere ana’ i Nere t’i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Tsy manoiñe v‘iheo, Abnere? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Abnere: Ia-mbao o mikoik’ amy mpanjakaio?
15 And David said to Abner: 'Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abnere: Tsy lahitsiay v’iheo? ia ty mañirinkiriñe azo e Israele ao? Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy nahafañambeñe i talè’o mpanjakay? Kanao nimb’eo t’indaty hanjevoñe i talè’o mpanjakay.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye deserve to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see, where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.'
Tsy soa o nanoe’oo. Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mañeva harotsake irehe, amy te tsy nahafigaritse ty talè’o noriza’ Iehovà. Henteo arè: Aia ty lefo’ i mpanjakay, naho i zonjon-drano tam-pikala’ey?
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said: 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' And David said: 'It is my voice, my lord, O king.'
Napota’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ i Davide, le hoe re: Feo’o hao zao ry anako Davide? Le hoe t’i Davide: Feoko ‘nio, ry talèko mpanjaka.
18 And he said: 'Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
Le hoe re: Ino ty hañoridaña’ i talèkoy i mpitoro’ey? Ino o nanoekoo? Ino ty hakeo an-tañako ao?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be the LORD that hath stirred thee up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of the LORD, saying: Go, serve other gods.
Aa le miambane ama’o iraho, ehe te hijanjiñe o vola’ i mpitoro’eio ty talè mpanjakako. Naho Iehovà ty nitrobo azo amako le ehe te ho no’e t’ie hisoroñañe; fe naho o ana’ ondatio le fàtse añatrefa’ Iehovà iereo; ie nanao soik’ ahy henaneo tsy hifaharako amy lova’ Iehovày ami’ty hoe: Akia, mitoroña ‘ndrahare ila’e.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.'
Aa le ko ampiorihe’o an-tane añatrefa’ Iehovà ty lioko; fa toe nimb’ etoa ty mpanjaka’ Israele hikodebe ty pia, manahake ty fikeheañe kibo am-bohitse ey.
21 Then said Saul: 'I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.'
Aa le hoe t’i Saole: Toe nandilatse iraho; mimpolia irehe Davide, anako, fa tsy ho robaheko ka; amy te nisarotse am-pahaoniña’o ty fiaiko anindroany; ingo t’ie nanao sare-gege, le loho nandilatse.
22 And David answered and said: 'Behold the king's spear! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide: Ingo ty lefo’ i mpanjakay! ampañitrifo aze atoy ty ajalahy.
23 And the LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as the LORD delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.
Toe songa ho valea’ Iehovà ondatio ami’ty havañona’e, naho ami’ty figahiña’e; fa natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako irehe anindroany, le nifoneñako tsy hañity tañañe hijoy ty noriza’ Iehovà.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.'
Aa kanao nonjoneñe ami’ty masoko ty fiai’o anindroany le ehe te honjoneñe am-pihaino’ Iehovà ka ty aiko hamotsora’e ahy amy ze fangovitañe iaby.
25 Then Saul said to David: 'Blessed be thou, my son David; thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail.' So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide: Ho tahie’e irehe Davide anako; toe hitoloñe an-kaozaran-drehe vaho handreketse. Aa le nienga t’i Davide naho nimpoly añ’akiba’e añe t’i Saole.
