< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, because he slew 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 to 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 to them: and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to 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 Wherefore David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make the 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 to him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man 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 answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining within 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 to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD chose. 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 bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for 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 on the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], in 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 dropped upon them out of heaven, and 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, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain 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 the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulcher 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 Moreover, the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became 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, who [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 succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not extinguish the light 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 a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, who [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 a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew [the brother of] 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 yet a battle in 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 Shimeah the brother of David 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 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.
