1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
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 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of 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 comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding 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 say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
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 comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
Ie amy zao, namofoke i Davide ty arofo’e t’ie nanampake i riran-tsarimbo’ i Saoleiy.
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
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 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the 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 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
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 says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
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 YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
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 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting 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 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not 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 the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not 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 has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
Hañoridañ’ ia ty niakara’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley? ty amboa mate, he ty pia.
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers 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 comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
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 says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done 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 declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
vaho nitalilie’o anindroany ty nanoa’o ahy, te natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’o, le tsy zinevo’o.
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did 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 have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
Aa inao, apotako t’ie ho mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe am-pità’o ty fifeheañe Israele.
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
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 swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
Le nifanta amy Saole t’i Davide vaho nimpoly t’i Saole; fe nionjomb’ amy fipalirañe fatratsey t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
