1 Samuel 22
1 David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
Ary Davida niala teo ka nandositra nankany amin’ ny zohin’ i Adolama; ary nony nandre izany ny rahalahiny sy ny mpianakavin-drainy, dia nidina tany aminy ireo.
2 Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
Ary izay mahantra rehetra sy izay mpitrosa rehetra ary izay manana alahelo am-po rehetra dia nivory tao aminy, ary izy no tonga mpifehy azy; ka dia tonga tokony ho efa-jato lahy ny tao aminy.
3 Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
Ary Davida niala tao nankany Mizpa any Moaba ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba hoe: Masìna ianao, avelao ny raiko sy ny reniko ho avy atỳ hitoetra etỳ aminao ambara-pahafantatro izay hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko.
4 [The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
Ary dia nentiny ho eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba izy ireo ka nonina teo aminy tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoeran’ i Davida tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana.
5 One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
Ary hoy Gada mpaminany tamin’ i Davida: Aza mitoetra ao amin’ ny batery fiarovana; fa mialà, ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda. Dia nandeha Davida ka tonga tany an’ ala Hareta.
6 One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
Ary ren’ i Saoly fa hita Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy (nipetraka tao Gibea teo ambanin’ ny hazo tamariska teo an-kavoana Saoly tamin’ izay, sady nisy lefona teny an-tànany, ary ny mpanompony rehetra nitsangana teo anoloany),
7 He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
dia hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpanompony izay teo anoloany: Henoy kely, ry taranak’ i Benjamina: Moa ianareo rehetra koa mba homen’ ny zanak’ i Jese saha sy tanim-boaloboka, ary mba hataony mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato ianareo rehetra,
8 Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
no dia miray tetika hanohitra ahy ianareo rehetra, ka tsy nisy nanambara tamiko fa ny zanako nanao fanekena tamin’ ny zanak’ i Jese, ary tsy nisy nalahelo ahy akory ianareo, na nanambara tamiko fa ny zanako efa nanome fo ny mpanompoko ho mpanotrika ahy tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao?
9 Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
Ary Doega Edomita, mpifehy ny mpanompon’ i Saoly, namaly ka nanao hoe: Nahita ny zanak’ i Jese tonga tany Noba aho tany amin’ i Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Ahitoba.
10 Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
Ary Ahimeleka nanontany ho azy tamin’ i Jehovah sady nanome azy vatsy; ary nomeny azy koa ny sabatr’ i Goliata Filistina.
11 Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
Ary ny mpanjaka dia naniraka naka an’ i Ahimeleka mpisorona, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy ny tarana-drainy rehetra, izay mpisorona, tao Noba; ka dia tonga tany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy rehetra.
12 Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
Ary hoy Saoly: Mba mihainoa ianao, ry zanak’ i Ahitoba. Ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho, tompoko.
13 Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
Ary hoy Saoly taminy: Nahoana ianareo no niray tetika hanohitra ahy, dia ianao sy ny zanak’ i Jese, tamin’ ilay nanomezanao azy mofo sy sabatra ary nanontanianao ho azy tamin’ Andriamanitra hahatongavany ho mpanotrika ahy tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao?
14 Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
Ary Ahimeleka namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Iza moa amin’ ny mpanomponao rehetra no mba mahatoky tahaka an’ i Davida, izay vinanton’ ny mpanjaka sady mpanolo-tsaina anao sy malaza ao an-tranonao?
15 Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
Ary vao izay va no nanontaniako ho azy tamin’ Andriamanitra? Sanatria ahy izany! Aoka ny mpanjaka tsy hanome tsiny ny mpanompony na ny tarana-draiko rehetra; fa ny mpanomponao tsy nahalala na inona na inona ny amin’ izany rehetra izany, na kely na be.
16 The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
Fa hoy ny mpanjaka: Hatao maty tokoa ianao, ry Ahimeleka, dia ianao sy ny tarana-drainao rehetra.
17 Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpiambina izay teo anoloany: Mihodìna, ka vonoy ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah; fa ny tànan’ ireo koa momba an’ i Davida, satria fantany ihany fa nandositra izy, nefa tsy nambarany tamiko izany. Fa ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka tsy nety naninjitra ny tànany hamely ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Doega: Mihodìna ianao, ka asio ny mpisorona. Ary Doega Edomita nihodina ka namely ny mpisorona, dia nahafaty olona dimy amby valo-polo izay nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy.
19 He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
Dia nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra koa Noba, tanànan’ ny mpisorona, dia ny lehilahy sy ny vehivavy, ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono, ny omby sy ny boriky ary ny ondry aman’ osy.
20 But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny zanak’ i Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, Abiatara no anarany, dia afa-nandositra ka nanaraka an’ i Davida.
21 He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
Ary Abiatara nanambara tamin’ i Davida ny namonoan’ i Saoly ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah.
22 Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abiatara: Fantatro androtr’ iny ihany fa tao Doega Edomita ka hilaza amin’ i Saoly tokoa; koa izaho no anton’ ny nahafaty ny olona rehetra tamin’ ny tarana-drainao.
23 You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
Tomoera etỳ amiko, ka aza matahotra; fa izay mikatsaka ny aiko no mikatsaka ny ainao koa; fa eto amiko no hahavoavonjy anao.
