1 Samuel 20
1 AND David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Nitriban-day boake Naiote e Ramà añe t’i Davide vaho nivotrak’ am’ Ionatane, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ze o nanoeko zao? Ino o hakeokoo? naho ino ty tahiko añatrefan-drae’o, ie mipay ty fiaiko?
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Le hoe re tama’e: Sondo’e; tsy hihomake irehe; oniño te tsy manao ndra kede ndra bey ty raeko naho tsy aboa’e amako heike; aa vaho ino ty hampikafiran-draeko amako o raha zao? Tsy to izay.
3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
Mbore nititike t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Toe fohin-drae’o t’ie nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’o, le hoe ty atao’e, Ko ampahafohineñe Ionatane zao hera hihontoke; fe kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ty fiai’o le toe lika raike ty añivoko naho ty fikenkañañe.
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide; Ino ty salalan-tro’o hanoeko ama’o?
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane: Inao te pea-bolañe ty hamaray, le tsy ho napoko ty hitoboke hitrao-pikama amy mpanjakay; aa le angao homb’eo iraho hietak’ an-kivok’ ao ampara’ te haleñe amy andro faha teloy.
6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Aa naho mipay ahy ndra kede ty rae’o, le anò ty hoe: Nimane halaly amako t’i Davide ty hihitrifa’e mb’e Betlekheme rova’e; fa tondroke i soron-tsavereña’e boa-taoñey.
7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Aa naho manao ty hoe re: Soa izay. Le hanintsiñe ty mpitoro’o; f’ie viñetse, le fohino te ikinia’e raty.
8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Aa le isoho o mpitoro’oo; amy fañina’ Iehovà nanoe’ i mpitoro’oy ama’oy; f’ie aman-kakeo le vonò; fa ino ty hanesea’o ahy mb’aman-drae’o mb’eo?
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
Le hoe t’Ionatane: Atòtse ama’o izay fa naho vata’e napotako te nikililien-draeko raty, tsy ho nampandrendreheko hao?
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
Aa le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane, Ia ty hitalily amako te nanoiñe azo an-keloke ty rae’o?
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Antao homb’ an-kivoke ey. Le nimb’an-kivoke ey iereon-dro-roe.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
Aa hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: aolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Izaho hitsok’ an-draeko amo ora zao te maray, ndra herone, le inao, naho fañisohañe amy Davide ty ao, lehe tsy hahitriko ama’o, vaho hitalily azo,
13 The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
le ee te hanoe’ Iehovà am’ Ionatane naho mandikoatse; fa naho mahafale an-draeko ty mañoho-doza ama’o, le hitaliliako, hañirahako azo homb’eo, hañaveloa’o am-panintsiñañe; vaho hindre ama’o t’Iehovà manahake ty nindreza’e aman-draeko.
14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:
Aa naho mbe velon-draho tsy haboa’o amako hao ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà, tsy hihomahako?
15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Le tsy hapitso’o an-trañoko nainai’e ty fañisoha’o; ndra te naitoa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’ i Davideo, fonga finao’e an-tane atoy.
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
Aa le nifañina ami’ty anjomba’ i Davide t’Ionatane, t’ie ho paia’ Iehovà am-pità’ o rafelahi’ i Davideo.
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Le nampifantà’ Ionatane indraike t’i Davide, ami’ty fikokoa’e; amy te nikokoa’e manahake ty nikokoa’e ty vata’e.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
Le hoe t’Ionatane ama’e: Hiri-bolañe te maray: le ho paian-drehe; amy te ho kòake i fiambesa’oy.
19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
Aa le mietaha soa irehe te herone, le miheova mb’amy fikafira’o amy androm-pitoloñañey le ey avao irehe marine ty vato’ i Ezele.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
Hahiririko ty ana-pale telo añ’ila’e eo, hoe mañohatse fanolarañe.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the Lord liveth.
Ie amy zao, hañitrifako ajalahy: Akia paiao o ana-paleo. Aa naho ataoko ty hoe: Ingo, añ’ila’o atoy o ana-paleo, rambeso vaho mb’etoa; le fañanintsiñe ty ho ama’o fa tsy joy, kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.
22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
F’ie ataoko ty hoe i ajalahiy: Inge, mbe aolo’o añe o ana-paleo; le akia, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’eo.
23 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
Aa i nisaontsien-tikañey, Inao! añivon-tikañe nainai’e t’Iehovà.
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
Le nietak’ an-kivok’ ao t’i Davide; aa ie nipea-bolañe, niambesatse hikama i mpanjakay.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ey i mpanjakay, manahake ty lili’e, amy fiambesatse mioza amy rindriñeiy; nijohañe t’Ionatane, vaho niambesatse añ’ila’ i Saole eo ty Abnere; fe nikòake ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Tsy nisaontsy ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy andro zay t’i Saole, fa hoe ty natao’e: Va’e nifetsahan-draha; he t’ie maleotse; tsy malio.
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
Ie amy loak’ andro manonjohy i pea-bolañeiy, i andro faharoey, naho nikoake ty fiambesa’ i Davide; le hoe t’i Saole am’ Ionatane ana’e: Akore te tsy nimb’ am-pikamàñe mb’etoa i ana’ Iisay, ndra omale ndra androany?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole: Nihalalia’ i Davide t’ie hienga mb’e Betlekheme mb’eo;
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
ami’ty hoe: Ehe, angao hiavotse iraho, fa misoroñe an-drova ao o longokoo vaho nañambara’ ty rahalahiko hiatreke; aa naho nahatendreke fañisohañe am-pihaino’o le adono hihitrike mb’eo handrendreke an-drolongoko. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ am-pandambaña’ i mpanjakay atoa re.
30 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?
Nisolebotse am’ Ionatane ty haviñera’ i Saole, ami’ty hoe: Ty anan-drakemba-piola mengoke tia, tsy apotako hao te jinobo’o ho an-kasalara’o naho ho ami’ty fimeñaram-piboridañan-drene’o i ana’ Iisaiiy?
31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
Fa naho mbe veloñe ambone tane atoy i ana’ Iisaiiy, le tsy horizan-drehe, ndra ty fifehea’o. Aa le ahitrifo mb’ amako mb’etoa re, fa mañeva ho mate.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole rae’e: Aa vaho ino ty hañohofan-doza ama’e? Nanao inon-dre?
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
Aa le nahiriri’ i Saole ama’e i lefo’ey; vaho napota’ Ionatane te tampa-kevetse ty rae’e hanjevoñ’ i Davide.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Niavotse i fandambañañey t’Ionatane ampiforoforoañe, naho tsy nikama amy andro faharoe’ i volañeiy; ami’t’ie nirovetse i Davide vaho nisalaren-drae’e.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Ie amy loak’ àndroy, le niavotse mb’ an-kivoke añe t’Ionatane reketse ty anak’ ajalahy amy namantaña’e i Davidey.
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Le hoe re amy ajalahiy: Akia, hitrifo an-day o ana-pale hahirirìkoo. Aa ie nilay i ajalahiy le nahirirì’e ty ana-pale hilosora’e amy ajalahiy.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
Ie nipok’an-toe’ i ana-pale nahirirì’ Ionataney i ajalahiy, le hoe ty koi’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy, Tsy ambali’o ey hao i ana-paley?
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Le hoe ty fipaza’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy: Malisà irehe, masikà, ko mitoboke ey. Le natonto’ i ajalahiy o ana-paleo vaho nimb’ amy talè’ey mb’eo.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Fe tsy napota’ i ajalahiy; Ionatane naho i Davide avao ty nahafohiñe.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Natolo’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy o fialia’eo le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, endeso an-drova ao retoy.
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Ie añe i ajalahiy, le niongak’ an-toe’e atimo ao t’i Davide, naho nibabok’ an-dahara’e an-tane, niondreke intelo; naho nifañoroke iereo vaho nifampirovetse, i Davide ty nandikoatse.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Akia am-panintsiñañe, amy nititihan-tika an-tahina’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ho añivon-tika roe t’Iehovà, naho añivo’ o tirikoo naho o tiri’oo nainai’e. Aa le nienga re nañavelo mb’eo vaho nimoak’ an-drova ao t’Ionatane.
