1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra niteny tamin’ i Saoly izy, dia raiki-pitia tamin’ i Davida ny fanahin’ i Jonatana, ka tia azy hoatra ny tenany mihitsy izy.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Ary Saoly nandray azy tamin’ izany andro izany ka tsy namela azy hody tany amin’ ny tranon-drainy intsony.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Ary Davida sy Jonatana nanao fanekena noho ny fitiavan’ i Jonatana azy toy ny tenany.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Ary nesorin’ i Jonatana ny akanjony ivelany izay teny aminy ka nomeny an’ i Davida mbamin’ ny akanjo fiadiany sy ny sabany sy ny tsipìkany ary ny fehin-kibony koa aza.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Ary Davida nanafika ka hita fa hendry tamin’ izay rehetra nanirahan’ i Saoly azy; ka dia nataon’ i Saoly mpifehy ny miaramila izy sady nankasitrahan’ ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpanompon’ i Saoly koa.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Ary nony tonga ny olona tamin’ ny niverenan’ i Davida avy namono ilay Filistina, dia nivoaka ny vehivavy avy tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nihira sy nandihy nitsena an’ i Saoly mpanjaka tamin’ ny ampongatapaka sy ny fifaliana ary ny kipantsona.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Ary ny vehivavy mpandihy dia nihira hoe: Saoly nahafaty arivoarivo; Fa Davida nahafaty alinalina.
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Dia tezitra indrindra Saoly, fa tsy sitrany izany teny izany, ka hoy izy: Ny an’ i Davida nataony alinalina lahy, fa ny ahy kosa nataony arivoarivo ihany; koa ny fanjakana ihany no sisa tsy mbola azony.
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Ary Saoly hatramin’ izany andro izany dia nangarika an’ i Davida.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia nisy fanahy ratsy avy tany amin’ Andriamanitra nilatsaka tamin’ i Saoly, ka dia maola tao an-trano izy; ary Davida nitendry lokanga tamin’ ny tànany tahaka ny fanaony isan’ andro ihany, ary nisy lefona teny an-tànan’ i Saoly.
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
Dia natorak’ i Saoly ny lefona; fa hoy izy: Hamely an’ i Davida aho, ka hataoko miboroaka mihatra amin’ ny rindrina. Fa Davida nisoroka indroa teo anatrehany.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Ary Saoly natahotra an’ i Davida, satria Jehovah nomba azy, fa Saoly kosa efa nialany.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Koa dia nesorin’ i Saoly tsy ho eo aminy Davida, ary nataony mpifehy arivo, dia nitarika ny olona nivoaka sy niditra izy.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
Ary Davida dia hita fa hendry tamin’ izay rehetra nataony, ary Jehovah nomba azy.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Ary nony hitan’ i Saoly fa hendry dia hendry Davida, dia natahotra azy izy.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra kosa tia an’ i Davida, satria nitondra azy nivoaka sy niditra izy.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Indro homeko ho vadinao Meraba vavimatoako, koa mahereza ho ahy anefa ianao, ary miadia ny adin’ i Jehovah. (Fa hoy Saoly: Aoka tsy ny tanako no hamely azy, fa aoka ny tanan’ ny Filistina no hamely azy.)
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
Fa hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Zinona moa aho, ary manao ahoana no toetry ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko ao amin’ ny Isiraely, no ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka aho?
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Kanjo nony tamin’ ny andro tokony ho namoahana an’ i Meraba, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ho vadin’ i Davida, dia nomena ho vadin’ i Adriela Meholatita izy.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Fa Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly kosa tia an’ i Davida; ary nisy nanambara izany tamin’ i Saoly, ka sitrak’ i Saoly izany.
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
(Fa hoy Saoly: Homeko azy izy, mba ho fandrika aminy ka hamelezan’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina azy.) Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Fanindroan’ ny maha-vinantoko anao izao.
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Ary Saoly nandidy ny mpanompony hoe: Miresaha mangingina amin’ i Davida, ka ataovy hoe: Indro, tian’ ny mpanjaka ianao, ary ny mpanompony rehetra tia anao; ka dia maneke ihany ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka ianao.
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Ary ny mpanompon’ i Saoly nilaza izany teny izany tamin’ i Davida. Fa hoy Davida: Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely izany ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka? Tsy hitanareo va fa izaho dia olona malahelo sady tsy manan-daza?
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Ary ny mpanompon’ i Saoly nilaza taminy hoe: Izany no navalin’ i Davida.
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Dia hoy Saoly: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Davida: Ny mpanjaka tsy mila harena be ho vodiondry, fa ny mariky ny fahafatesan’ ny Filistina zato lahy ihany, mba ho famaliana ny fahavalony. Kanjo hevitr’ i Saoly hahafaty an’ i Davida amin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina izany.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Ary rehefa nambaran’ ny mpanompon’ i Saoly tamin’ i Davida izany teny izany, dia sitrak’ i Davida ny ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka. Ary raha tsy mbola tapitra ny fetr’ andro,
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
dia niainga Davida, ary nandeha izy sy ny olony ka nahafaty Filistina roan-jato, lahy ary Davida nitondra ny mariky ny fahafatesany ka nanisa azy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka mba hahavinanton’ ny mpanjaka azy. Dia nomen’ i Saoly ho vadin’ i Davida Mikala zananivavy.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Ary Saoly nahita sy nahalala fa Jehovah nomba an’ i Davida; ary Mikala zananivavy tia azy.
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
Ary dia vao mainka natahotra an’ i Davida Saoly; ka dia tonga fahavalon’ i Davida mandrakariva izy.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina dia nanafika; ary isaky ny nanafika izy, dia Davida no hita fa hendry noho ny mpanompon’ i Saoly rehetra, ka dia nisandratra ny anarany.
