< 1 Samuel 20 >

1 And David flees from Naioth in Ramah, and comes, and says before Jonathan, “What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before your father, that he is seeking 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 says to him, “Far be it! You do not die; behold, my father does not do anything great or small and does not uncover my ear; and why does my father hide this thing from me? This [thing] is not.”
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 swears again and says, “Your father has certainly known that I have found grace in your eyes, and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he is grieved; and yet, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, but—as 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 And Jonathan says to David, “What does your soul [desire]? Command and I do it for you.”
Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide; Ino ty salalan-tro’o hanoeko ama’o?
5 And David says to Jonathan, “Behold, the new moon [is] tomorrow; and I certainly sit with the king to eat; and you have sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field until the third evening;
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 your father looks after me at all, then you have said, David earnestly asked of me to run to his city of Beth-Lehem, for there [is] a sacrifice of the days 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 thus he says: Good; [there is] peace for your servant; and if it is very displeasing to him—know that the evil has been 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 and you have done kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of YHWH with you—and if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why [is] this [that] you bring me to your 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 says, “Far be it from you! For I certainly do not know that the evil has been determined by my father to come on you, and I do not declare it to you.”
Le hoe t’Ionatane: Atòtse ama’o izay fa naho vata’e napotako te nikililien-draeko raty, tsy ho nampandrendreheko hao?
10 And David says to Jonathan, “Who declares [it] to me? Or what [if] your father answers you sharply?”
Aa le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane, Ia ty hita­lily amako te nanoiñe azo an-keloke ty rae’o?
11 And Jonathan says to David, “Come, and we go out into the field”; and both of them go out 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 says to David, “YHWH, God of Israel, [is my witness]—when I search out my father about [this] time tomorrow [or] the third [day], and behold, [there is] good toward David, and I do not then send to you, and have uncovered your ear—
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 thus YHWH does to Jonathan, and thus He adds; when the evil concerning you is good to my father, then I have uncovered your ear, and sent you away, and you have gone in peace, and YHWH is with you, as he was 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 not only while I am alive do you do the kindness of YHWH with me, and I do not die,
Aa naho mbe velon-draho tsy haboa’o amako hao ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà, tsy hihomahako?
15 but you do not cut off your kindness from my house for all time, nor in YHWH’s cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.”
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 cuts [a covenant] with the house of David, and YHWH has sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
Aa le nifañina ami’ty anjomba’ i Davide t’Ionatane, t’ie ho paia’ Iehovà am-pità’ o rafelahi’ i Davideo.
17 and Jonathan adds to cause David to swear, because he loves him, for he has loved him [as] the love [for] 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 And Jonathan says to him, “Tomorrow [is] the new moon, and you have been looked after, for your seat is looked after;
Le hoe t’Ionatane ama’e: Hiri-bolañe te maray: le ho paian-drehe; amy te ho kòake i fiambesa’oy.
19 and on the third day you certainly come down, and have come to the place where you were hidden in the day of the work, and have remained near the stone of 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 shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out at a mark for myself;
Hahiririko ty ana-pale telo añ’ila’e eo, hoe mañohatse fanolarañe.
21 and behold, I send the youth, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say to the youth at all, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of you—take them and come, for [there is] peace for you, and there is no [adverse] word—[as] YHWH lives.
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 And if thus I say to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond you—go, for YHWH has sent you away;
F’ie ataoko ty hoe i ajalahiy: Inge, mbe aolo’o añe o ana-paleo; le akia, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’eo.
23 as for the thing which you and I have spoken, behold, YHWH [is] between me and you for all time.”
Aa i nisaontsien-tikañey, Inao! añivon-tikañe nainai’e t’Iehovà.
24 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sits down by the food to eat,
Le nietak’ an-kivok’ ao t’i Davide; aa ie nipea-bolañe, niam­besatse hikama i mpanjakay.
25 and the king sits on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan rises, and Abner sits at the side of Saul, and David’s place is looked after.
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 And Saul has not spoken anything on that day, for he said, “It [is] an accident; he is not clean—surely 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 comes to pass on the second day of the new moon, that David’s place is looked after, and Saul says to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or today, to the food?”
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 answers Saul, “David has earnestly asked [permission] from 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 says, Please send me away, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother has given command to me himself, and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers; therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
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 And the anger of Saul burns against Jonathan, and he says to him, “Son of a perverse [woman] of rebellion! Have I not known that you are fixing on the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
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 all the days that the son of Jesse lives on the ground you are not established, you and your kingdom; and now, send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.”
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 answers his father Saul and says to him, “Why is he put to death? What has 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 casts the javelin at him to strike him, and Jonathan knows that it has been determined by his father to put David to death.
Aa le nahiriri’ i Saole ama’e i lefo’ey; vaho napota’ Ionatane te tampa-kevetse ty rae’e hanjevoñ’ i Davide.
34 And Jonathan rises from the table in the heat of anger, and has not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he has been grieved for David, for his father put him to 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 comes to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goes out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] 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 says to his youth, “Now run, find the arrows which I am shooting”; the youth is running, and he has shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over 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 the youth comes to the place of the arrow which Jonathan has shot, and Jonathan calls after the youth, and says, “Is the arrow not beyond you?”
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 calls after the youth, “Speed, hurry, do not stand”; and Jonathan’s youth gathers the arrows, and comes to his lord.
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 And the youth has not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
Fe tsy napota’ i ajalahiy; Ionatane naho i Davide avao ty nahafohiñe.
40 And Jonathan gives his weapons to the youth whom he has and says to him, “Go, carry into the city.”
Natolo’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy o fialia’eo le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, endeso an-drova ao retoy.
41 The youth has gone, and David has risen from Ezel, at the south, and falls on his face to the earth, and bows himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep with one another, until David exerted himself;
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 says to David, “Go in peace, in that we have sworn—the two of us—in the Name of YHWH, saying, YHWH is between me and you, and between my seed and your seed—for all time”; and he rises and goes; and Jonathan has gone 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.
