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 Engedi.
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 on 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: and David and his men remained in the sides 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 to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privately.
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 to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
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 stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But 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 stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed 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, Why hear you men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeks your 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 your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill you: but my eye spared you; 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, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and killed you not, know you and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you; yet you hunt 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 you, and the LORD avenge me of you: but my hand shall not be on you.
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 says the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be on you.
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 do you 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 judge between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your 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 to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your 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, You are more righteous than I: for you have rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded you evil.
Le hoe re amy Davide: Vantañe te amako irehe; soa ty nanoa’o ahy vaho raty ty nanoako azo;
18 And you have showed this day how that you have dealt well with me: for as much as when the LORD had delivered me into your hand, you killed me not.
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? why the LORD reward you good for that you have done to 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 well that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Aa inao, apotako t’ie ho mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe am-pità’o ty fifeheañe Israele.
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will 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 to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up to the hold.
Le nifanta amy Saole t’i Davide vaho nimpoly t’i Saole; fe nionjomb’ amy fipalirañe fatratsey t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
