1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved 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 Saul took David into his service that day; he did not let him return to his father's house.
Mifototse amy andro zay t’ie nitana’ i Saole, tsy nenga’e himpoly aman-drae’e añe.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant of friendship because Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Nanao fiatehenàñe amy Davide t’Ionatane amy te nikokoa’e manahake ty vata’e.
4 Jonathan took off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David with his armor, as well as his sword, bow, and belt.
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 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. Saul set him over the men of war. This was pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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 As they came home from defeating the Philistines, the women came from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical 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 The women sang one to another as they played. They sang: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
Nisabo ty hoe an-kafaleañe o rakembao: Fa nanjamañe ty arivo’e t’i Saole vaho ty aleale’e t’i Davide.
8 Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but they have ascribed only thousands to me. What more can he have but the monarchy?”
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 Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
Ie henane zay nikirofe’ i Saole t’i Davide.
10 The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he raved within the house. So David played his instrument, as he did each day. Saul had a spear in his hand.
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 Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from Saul's presence twice in this way.
Hiniriri’ i Saole i lefoñey, ie nitsakore ty hoe: Ho tomboheko an-drindriñe eo t’i Davide. Indroe niholiatse aze t’i Davide.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, but was no longer with Saul.
Nampihembañe i Saole t’i Davide, amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà, ie fa nienga i Saole.
13 So Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him a commander of a thousand. In this way David went out and came in before the people.
Aa le nasita’ i Saole ama’e, vaho nanoe’e mpifehe-arivo; niavotse naho nizilik’ añatrefa’ ondatio.
14 David was prospering in all his ways, for Yahweh was with him.
Nilefe iaby ze raha nanoe’ i Davide; fa tama’e t’Iehovà.
15 When Saul saw that he prospered, he stood in awe of him.
Ie nioni’ i Saole t’ie nitoloñ’ an-kihitse, le nihembaña’e.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
Fe nikokoa’ Israele naho Iehodà iaby t’i Davide, amy t’ie niavotse naho nizilik’ añatrefa’ iareo.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only be courageous for me and fight Yahweh's battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not 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 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, or my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 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 But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as 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 But Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. They told Saul, and this pleased him.
Fe nikokoa’ i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole t’i Davide; natalily amy Saole Izay le ninò’e.
21 Then Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she can be a trap for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You will be my son-in-law.”
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 Saul commanded his servants, “Speak with David in private, and say, 'See, the king takes pleasure in you, and all his servants love you. Now then, become the king's son-in-law.'”
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 So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. Then David said, “Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am 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 The servants of Saul reported to him the words which David spoke.
Natalili’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleo ama’e izay ami’ty hoe: Inao ty entañe sinaontsi’ i Davide.
25 Then Saul said, “Say this to David, 'The king does not desire any price for the bride except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged from the king's enemies.'” Now Saul thought to make David 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 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to be the king's son-in-law.
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 Before those days had expired, David went with his men and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his 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 When Saul saw, and he knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,
Napota’ i Saole te amy Davide t’Iehovà mbore nikoko aze t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’e;
29 Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was continually David's enemy.
aa antsake te nihembañe amy Davide t’i Saole, vaho nitolon-ko rafelahi’ i Davide t’i Saole.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines came out for battle, and as often as they came out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly regarded.
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.
