1 Samoela 12
1 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra: Indro, efa nihaino ny teninareo aho tamin’ izay rehetra nolazainareo tamiko ka efa nanendry mpanjaka hanjaka aminareo.
Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer you.
2 Ary ankehitriny, indro, ny mpanjaka mandeha eo anatrehanareo; fa izaho efa antitra sy fotsy volo; koa, indreo, eo aminareo ny zanako, ary izaho efa nandeha teo anatrehanareo hatry ny fony vao zaza ka mandraka androany.
Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.
3 Koa inty aho; tondroy maso eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah sy ny voahosony aho: ombin’ iza moa no nalaiko? na borikin’ iza no nalaiko? na an’ iza no nanaovako an-keriny? na iza no nampahoriko? na teo an-tànan’ iza no nandraisako kolikoly hahatampina ny masoko? fa honerako aminareo izany.
Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you?
4 Ary hoy ireo: Hianao tsy nanao an-keriny taminay, na nampahory anay, na naka zavatra teny an-tànan’ olona na dia iray akory aza.
Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.
5 Dia hoy Samoela taminy: Vavolombelona aminareo anio Jehovah, ary vavolombelona koa ny voahosony, fa tsy nisy zavatra hitanareo teo an-tanako na inona na inona. Dia hoy ireo: Eny, vavolombelona Izy.
And he saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.
6 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny olona: Jehovah no nanendry an’ i Mosesy sy Arona, ary nitondra ny razanareo niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.
7 Koa ankehitriny avia ianareo, fa hifandahatra aminareo eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah aho ny amin’ ny asa marina rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah taminareo sy ny razanareo.
Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed to you and to your fathers.
8 Rehefa tonga tany Egypta Jakoba, ka nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny razanareo, Jehovah dia naniraka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona, ka ireo no nitondra ny razanareo nivoaka avy tany Egypta ary namponina azy teto amin’ ity tany ity.
After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 Nefa raha nanadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy, dia namidiny ho eo an-tànan’ i Sisera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Hazora, sy ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina ary ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba, ka niadian’ ireo izy.
And when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota izahay, fa efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah ka nanompo ireo Bala sy Astarta, nefa ankehitriny vonjeo amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalonay izahay, dia hanompo Anao.
And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue thee.
11 Ary Jehovah efa naniraka an’ i Jerobala sy Bedana sy Jefta ary Samoela, ka namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalonareo manodidina Izy, dia nandry fahizay ianareo.
Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.
12 Kanjo nony hitanareo fa avy hiady taminareo Nahasy, mpanjakan’ ny Amonita, dia hoy ianareo tamiko: Tsia, fa aoka hisy mpanjaka hanjaka aminay; kanefa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no mpanjakanareo.
Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet the Lord your God was your King.
13 Koa ankehitriny, indro ny mpanjaka izay nofidinareo sy nangatahinareo; ary indro fa Jehovah nanome mpanjaka hanjaka aminareo.
Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.
14 Enga anie ka hatahotra an’ i Jehovah sy hanompo Azy ary hihaino ny feony ka tsy handà ny didiny ianareo, fa samy hanaraka an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo sy ny mpanjaka izay manjaka aminareo.
If ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.
15 Fa raha tsy mihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah kosa ianareo, fa mandà ny didiny, dia hamely anareo ny tànan’ i Jehovah tahaka ny namelezany ny razanareo.
But if yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on your fathers.
16 Koa mitsangàna ankehitriny, ka jereo izao zavatra lehibe hataon’ i Jehovah eto imasonareo izao:
Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.
17 Moa tsy taom-pijinjana vary tritika va izao? Hiantso an’ i Jehovah aho, ary hahatonga kotrokorana sy orana Izy, dia ho hitanareo sy ho fantatrareo fa lehibe ny ratsy nataonareo teo imason’ i Jehovah, satria nangataka mpanjaka ianareo.
Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.
18 Ary Samoela niantso an’ i Jehovah, ary Jehovah nahatonga kotrokorana sy orana tamin’ izany andro izany; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia natahotra an’ i Jehovah sy Samoela indrindra.
Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.
19 Dia hoy ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ i Samoela: Mangataha amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho an’ ny mpanomponao, Fandrao maty izahay! fa efa nanao izao ratsy Izao izahay ho fanampin’ ny fahotanay rehetra, satria nangataka mpanjaka ho anay.
And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.
20 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny vahoaka: Aza matahotra; efa nanao izany ratsy rehetra izany tokoa ianareo; kanefa aza mivily tsy hanaraka an’ i Jehovah; fa manompoa Azy amin’ ny fonareo rehetra.
And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue the Lord with all your heart,
21 Eny, aza mivily; fa manaraka ireo zava-poana ianareo, izay tsy mahasoa na mahavonjy; fa zava-poana ireo.
Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)
22 Fa Jehovah tsy hahafoy ny olony noho ny anarany lehibe, satria sitrak’ i Jehovah ny nanaovany anareo ho olony.
For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Ary ny amiko, sanatria raha hanota amin’ i Jehovah aho ka hitsahatra tsy hangataka ho anareo; fa izaho hanoro anareo izay lalana tsara sy mahitsy.
Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way.
24 Kanefa matahora an’ i Jehovah ianareo, ka manompoa Azy marina amin’ ny fonareo rehetra; fa eritrereto izao zavatra lehibe nataony ho anareo izao.
Therefore feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you.
25 Fa raha mbola manao ratsy ihany ianareo, dia haringana ianareo sy ny mpanjakanareo koa.
But if ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.
