1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Telo-polo taona Saoly, raha vao nanjaka; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
Ary Saoly nifantina telo arivo lahy tamin’ ny Isiraely, ka ny roa arivo lahy nitoetra teo aminy tany Mikmasy sy tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Betela, ary ny arivo lahy nitoetra teo amin’ i Jonatana tany Gibean’ ny Benjamina; fa ny olona sisa kosa samy nampodiny ho any an-dainy avy.
3 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
Ary Jonatana namely ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina, izay tany Geba, ary ren’ ny Filistina izany. Ary Saoly nampitsoka anjomara teny amin’ ny tany rehetra ka nanao hoe Aoka handre ny Hebreo.
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Dia ren’ ny Isiraely rehetra fa efa namely ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina Saoly, ka dia halan’ ny Filistina ny Isiraely. Dia nivory ny olona hanaraka an’ i Saoly ho any Gilgala.
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
Ary ny Filistina telo alina an-kalesy sy enina arivo an-tsoavaly ary vahoaka betsaka tahaka ny fasika eny amoron-dranomasina dia nivory hiady tamin’ ny Isiraely; dia nandeha izy ka nitoby tany Mikmasy atsinanan’ i Betavena.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
Ary nony hitan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely fa poritra izy (fa efa ory indrindra ny olona), dia nijery tany an-johy sy tany amin’ ny kirihitrala sy tany, amin’ ny harambato sy tany amin’ ny fierena ary tany amin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano izy.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Ary ny Hebreo sasany dia lasa nita an’ i Jordana nankany amin’ ny tany Gada sy Gileada. Fa Saoly mbola tany Gilgala ihany, ary ny vahoaka rehetra nanaraka azy, nefa toran-kovitra be ihany.
8 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
Ary niandry hafitoana izy araka ny fotoana nataon’ i Samoela; fa Samoela tsy mbola tonga tany Gilgala; ary ny olona niely nandao an’ i Saoly.
9 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
Ary hoy Saoly: Ento etỳ amiko ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanati-pihavanana; ka dia nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana izy.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
Ary rehefa vita ny nanaterany ny fanatitra dorana, indro, tamy Samoela, ary nivoaka hitsena azy Saoly mba hiarahaba azy.
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
Dia hoy Samoela: Inona no nataonao? Ary hoy Saoly: Raha hitako fa niely nandao ahy ny olona, sady tsy tonga tamin’ ny fotoana ianao, ary tafangona tany Mikmasy ny Filistina,
12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favour of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
dia hoy izaho: Hidina amin’ izao ny Filistina hamely ahy atỳ Gilgala, nefa tsy mbola nanao fifonana tamin’ i Jehovah aho; dia sahy ihany aho ka nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana.
13 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ i Saoly: Nanao adala ianao; tsy nitandrina ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izay nandidiany anao ianao; fa raha tsy izany, ankehitriny Jehovah dia ho nampitoetra ny fanjakanao amin’ ny Isiraely ho mandrakizay.
14 But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
Koa izao dia tsy haharitra ny fanjakanao; Jehovah efa nitady lehilahy ho Azy araka ny fony, ary izay no voatendrin’ i Jehovah ho mpanapaka ny olony, satria tsy nitandrina izay nandidian’ i Jehovah anao ianao.
15 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
Dia niainga Samoela ka niala tany Gilgala hankany Gibean’ ny Benjamina. Ary Saoly nandamina ny olona izay teo aminy, dia tokony ho enin-jato lahy reny.
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Ary raha mbola nitoetra tany Gibean’ ny Benjamina Saoly sy Jonatana zanany sy ny vahoaka teo amin’ izy roa lahy, ary ny Filistina kosa nitoby, tany Mikmasy.
17 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
dia nivoaka nanao telo toko ny mpandrava avy teo amin’ ny tobin’ ny Filistina: ny iray toko nizotra tamin’ ny lalana mankany Ofra ho any amin’ ny tany Solala;
18 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim towards the wilderness.
ary ny iray toko nizotra ho any amin’ ny lalana mankany Beti-horona; ary ny iray toko kosa nizotra ho any amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny fari-tany manatrika ny lohasaha Zeboïma tandrifin’ ny efitra.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
Ary teny amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tsy nisy mpanefy; fa hoy ny Fifistina: Andrao manefy sabatra na lefona ny Hebreo.
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own ploughshare, mattock, axe, and sickle.
Ka dia samy nidina ho any amin’ ny Filistina ny Isiraely rehetra hanasa ny fangadiny sy ny fiasàny sy ny famakiny ary ny fihadia-taniny.
21 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, ploughshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
Nefa nanana tsofa ihany izy handranitany ny fihadian-tany sy ny fiasàna sy ny telorantsana sy ny famaky ary handranitany ny fanindronan-omby.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
Ary tamin’ ny andro niadiana dia tsy nisy sabatra na lefona hita teny an-tànan’ ny vahoaka rehetra izay eo amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana; fa tamin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany ihany no nisy.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Ary ny avy tao amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina nivoaka ho ao amin’ ny hadilanana mankany. Mikmasy.
