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.
Ie niheneke ty saontsi’e amy Saole, le nifamitrañe an-tro’ i Davide ty tro’ Ionatane. Nikokoa’e manahake ty vata’e.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Mifototse amy andro zay t’ie nitana’ i Saole, tsy nenga’e himpoly aman-drae’e añe.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Nanao fiatehenàñe amy Davide t’Ionatane amy te nikokoa’e manahake ty vata’e.
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.
Nafaha’ Ionatane ty sarimbo ama’e le natolo’e amy Davide rekets’ i saron’ ali’ey, i fibara’ey, i fàle’ey, vaho i sadia’ey.
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.
Le niavotse mb’amy ze nañiraha’ i Saole aze añe t’i Davide naho nitoloñe an-kahimbañe; le najado’ i Saole ho mpifehe o lahindefoñeo, ie niantofañe am-pahaisaha’ ze hene ondaty naho am-pahaoniña’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleo.
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;
Ie pok’ eo t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo, nimpoly boak’ añ’aly amo nte-Pilistioy, le niakatse amy ze rova’ i Israele iaby o ampelao nisabo an-tsinjake, hifanalaka amy Saole Mpanjaka an-pikoriñañe naho nirebeke an-jejo-bory.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Nisabo ty hoe an-kafaleañe o rakembao: Fa nanjamañe ty arivo’e t’i Saole vaho ty aleale’e t’i Davide.
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?”
Nitorifike amy zao t’i Saole fa natao’e t’ie fampifotsahañ’ aze. Amoliliañe añ’ aleale’e t’i Davide fe añ’ arivo’e avao ty ahiko. I fifeheañey avao ty mbe tsy aze.
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Ie henane zay nikirofe’ i Saole t’i Davide.
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,
Aa ie amy loak’ àndroy, nangare’ ty fañahi’ raty boak’ aman’ Añahare an-kafatrara’e t’i Saole, le nitazataza am-po’ i anjombay ao, naho nititike am-pitàñe t’i Davide ami’ty lili’e lomoñandro, ie am-pità’ i Saole ty lefo’e.
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.
Hiniriri’ i Saole i lefoñey, ie nitsakore ty hoe: Ho tomboheko an-drindriñe eo t’i Davide. Indroe niholiatse aze t’i Davide.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Nampihembañe i Saole t’i Davide, amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà, ie fa nienga i Saole.
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.
Aa le nasita’ i Saole ama’e, vaho nanoe’e mpifehe-arivo; niavotse naho nizilik’ añatrefa’ ondatio.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
Nilefe iaby ze raha nanoe’ i Davide; fa tama’e t’Iehovà.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Ie nioni’ i Saole t’ie nitoloñ’ an-kihitse, le nihembaña’e.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Fe nikokoa’ Israele naho Iehodà iaby t’i Davide, amy t’ie niavotse naho nizilik’ añatrefa’ iareo.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide: Ingo, hatoloko azo t’i Merabe zoken’ anak’ ampelako; fe mahimbàña ho ahy, vaho ialio o ali’ Iehovào; ami’ty natao’ i Saole ty hoe: Tsy ty tañako ty hiatrek’ aze, fa hiatrefa’ ty fità’ o nte-Pilistio.
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?”
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Saole, Ia v’irahoo, ino ty fiaiko naho ty fiain-dongon-draeko e Israele ao t’ie ho vinanto’ ty mpanjaka?
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.
Aa ie ho natolotse amy Davide t’i Merabe anak’ ampela’ i Saole te mone natolo’e amy Adriele nte Meholatite ho tañanjomba’e.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Fe nikokoa’ i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole t’i Davide; natalily amy Saole Izay le ninò’e.
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.”
Aa hoe t’i Saole, Hatoloko aze re ho fandrik’ ama’e, hatreatré’e o nte-Pilistio. Aa le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide. Ho vinantoko irehe amy faharoey.
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.”
Le nandily o mpitoro’eo t’i Saole, ty hoe: Bisibisiho amy Davide ty hoe: Inao! ifalea’ i mpanjakay vaho mikoko azo o mpitoro’e iabio, aa le miantofa t’ie ho vinanto’e.
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?”
Aa le sinaontsi’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleo an-dravembia’ i Davide i entañe zay. Aa hoe t’i Davide, Atao’ areo ho raha maivañe hao t’ie ho vinantom-panjaka, izaho ondaty rarake naho mavomavo.
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Natalili’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleo ama’e izay ami’ty hoe: Inao ty entañe sinaontsi’ i Davide.
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.
Le hoe t’i Saole: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Davide: Tsy mipay lafitihy i mpanjakay, fa ofoke zato boak’ amo nte-Pilistio, ho fañavahañe o rafelahi’ i mpanjakaio. Amy te kinilili’ i Saole ty hampihotrake i Davide am-pitàn-te-Pilisty.
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,
Aa ie nisaontsie’ o mpitoro’eo amy Davide i entañe zay, le ninò’ i Davide ty ho vinanto’ i mpanjakay, aolo’ ty fepèn’ 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.
aa le niavotse mb’eo t’i Davide, ie naho o mpiama’eo, naho zinama’ iareo t’i nte-Pilisty roan-jato, vaho nendese’ i Davide o ofo’eo, le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ami’ty ia’e do’e, soa t’ie ho vinanto’ i mpanjakay. Le natolo’ i Saole aze t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’e ho vali’e.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Napota’ i Saole te amy Davide t’Iehovà mbore nikoko aze t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’e;
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
aa antsake te nihembañe amy Davide t’i Saole, vaho nitolon-ko rafelahi’ i Davide t’i Saole.
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.
Mpiavotse mb’eo o talèm-Pilistio; fe, ndra mbia mbia niakatse, le niraorao ambone’ o mpitoro’ i Saole iabio t’i Davide vaho nonjoneñe añ’abo i tahina’ey.
