< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
Ie amy zao, san-kerè telo taoñe ty nifanonjohy tañ’ andro’ i Davide, le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Davide: le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà: I Saole naho i anjomba’e aman-dioy, ie nanjamañe o nte-Giboneo.
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah: )
Kinanji’ i mpanjakay amy zao o nte-Giboneo, le hoe re tam’ iereo—toe tsy ana’ Israele o nte-Giboneo fa sehanga’ o nte-Amoreo; toe nifanta am’ iereo o ana’ Israeleo, fe nipay hanjamañe iereo t’i Saole amy fahim­baña’e amo ana’ Israeleo naho Iehodaoy—
3 and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
le hoe t’i Davide amo nte-Giboneo: Ino ty hanoeko ho anahareo? naho Ino ty hijebañako, hitatà’ areo ty lova’ Iehovà?
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
le hoe o nte-Giboneo tama’e: Tsy iozàm-bolafoty ndra volamena ty añivo’ay naho i Saole, ndra i anjomba’ey; le tsy mipay ty hamonoañe ndra iaia amo ana’ Israeleo zahay. Aa le hoe re: Saontsio’ areo fa hanoeko.
5 And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo i mpanjakay: Indaty ho namongotse anay naho nikinia raty anay t’ie ho fongoreñe tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e an-tane Israeley,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD; And the king said, I will give them.
le ee te hasese ama’ay ty ana-dahi’e fito haradorado’ay am’ Iehovà e Gibà’ i Saole ao, i jinobo’ Iehovày. Haseseko iereo, hoe i mpanjakay.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Fe napo’ i mpanjakay t’i Mefibosete, ana’ Ionatane, ana’i Saole, ty amy fañina nifanoa’ iareo am’ Iehovày; i nanoe’ i Davide naho Ionatane ana’ i Saoley.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Rinambe’ i mpanjakay ty ana-dahy roe’ i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, ze nasama’e amy Saole, i Armoný naho i Mefibosete naho ty ana-dahi’ i Mikale lime, anak’ ampela’ i Saole, nasama’e amy Adriele, ana’ i Bartsilaý nte-Mekolà;
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell [all] seven together: and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
le nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Giboneo naho naradorado’ iareo amy vohitsey añatrefa’ Iehovà vaho nitrao-pihotrake i fito rey, an-tsam-pitatahañe ty namonoañe iareo, amo andro valoha’eo, am-pamotoram-pitataham-bare hordea.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Nandrambe lamban-gony t’i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, vaho nalafi’e amy vatoy boak’ am-pifotora’ i fitatahañey am-para’ te nidoañan’ orañe boak’ andikerañey; le tsy napo’e hipetak’ am’ iereo o voron-tiokeo naho handro, ndra o bibin-kivokeo naho haleñe.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Natalily amy Davide ty nanoe’ i Ritspà’ anak’ ampela’ i Aià, sakeza’ i Saole.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa:
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Davide nangalake o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo amo nte-Iabses-Giladeo, o nikizoe’ iereo boak’ an-kiririsa’ i Bete-saneo, o nampi­radoradoe’ o nte-Pilistio tañ’ andro nanjevoa’ o nte-Pilistio i Saole e Gilboao;
13 and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
le nendese’e boak’ añe o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo; vaho natonto’ iareo o taola’ i naradorado reio.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
Nalente’ iareo an-tane’ i Beniamine e Zelà, an-kibori’ i Kise rae’e o taola’ i Saole naho Iona­taneo; le nanoeñe iaby ze nandilia’ i mpanjakay. Ie heneke, le nihala­lieñe aman’ Añahare i taney.
15 And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
Nialy amy Israele indraike o nte-Pilistio; le nizotso mb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ o mpitoro’eo, nifandra­parapak’ amo nte-Pilistio; le niha-dazidazìtse t’i Davide.
16 and Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
Teo amy zao t’Isbibenobe raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy abo mpinday lefoñe nilanja telonjato sekelen-torisikeio, nisikiñe fikalañe vao, le nimanea’e zevo t’i Davide.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
Fe nañolotse aze t’i Abisay ana’ i Tseroià le linafa’e i nte-Pilistiy vaho vinono’e. Aa le namantok’ amy Davide ondati’eo, ty hoe: Tsy hitraok’ ama’ay an-kotakotake ka irehe, tsy mone hakipe’o ty failo’ Israele.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
Ie heneke zay, le poake indraik ty aly amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe; zinevo’ i Sibekaý nte-Kosà t’i Safe, raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy aboio.
19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Ie nifañotakotak’ amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe indraike, le zinevo’ i Elkanane nte-Betlekheme t’i Goliate nte-Gitý, nihambañe ami’ty vatrìtra i taran-defo’ey.
20 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
Ie añe, nifandrapak’ añ’aly indraike e Gate ao; teo ty fanalolahy nijoalajoala, songa aman-drambo’e eneñe o fità’eo naho eneñe ka o rambom-pandia’eo, roapolo-efats’ amby ty fitontoña’ iareo; nisamahem-panalolahy abo ka.
21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei David’s brother slew him.
Ie nikizake Israele, le linafa’ Ionatane ana’ i Simea; rahalahi’ i Davide.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Songa nisamahe’ i fanalolahy abo nte-Gatey i efatse rey, nikorovok’ am-pità’ i Davide naho am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo.
