1 Samoela 14

1 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia hoy Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, tamin’ ny zatovo, mpitondra ny fiadiany: Andeha isika hankany amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina izay erỳ an-dafy erỳ. Nefa tsy nilaza tamin-drainy izy.

Now it fell upon a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on yonder side. But he did not tell his father.

2 Ary Saoly nitoetra tao an-tsisin’ i Gibea teo ambanin’ ny hazo ampongabendanitra any Migrona; ary ny vahoaka teo aminy dia tokony ho enin-jato lahy;

And Saul abode in the outermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

3 ary teo koa nisalotra efoda Ahia, zanak’ i Ahitoba, rahalahin’ i Ikaboda, zanak’ i Finehasa, zanak’ i Ely, mpisoron’ i Jehovah tany Silo. Fa tsy fantatry ny olona fa lasa Jonatana.

and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

4 Ary teo an-daniny roa teo an-tenatenan’ ny hadilanana izay nitadiavan’ i Jonatana hankanesana ao amin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina dia nisy harambato kitso loha: ny anaran’ ny anankiray dia Bozeza, ary ny anaran’ ny anankiray kosa Sene.

And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Ny iray amin’ ireo harambato ireo dia nijoro avo teo an-daniny avaratra manandrify an’ i Mikmasy, ary ny iray kosa nijoro avo teo atsimo manandrify an’ i Gibea.

The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

6 Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ ny zatovo, mpitondra ny fiadiany: Andeha isika hankany amin’ ny miaramilan’ ireo tsy mifora ireo; angamba homba antsika Jehovah, fa tsy misy mahasakana an’ i Jehovah tsy hamonjy, na amin’ ny maro, na amin’ ny vitsy.

And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us, for there is no limitation to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

7 Dia hoy kosa ny mpitondra ny fiadiany taminy: Ataovy izay rehetra ao am-ponao; mandrosoa ihany; indro, hanaraka anao aho araka ny sitraponao.

And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart. Turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

8 Ary hoy Jonatana: Indro, handroso ho amin’ ireo olona ireo isika ka hiseho aminy.

Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them.

9 Ary raha hoy izy: Andraso mandra-pahatonganay any aminareo, dia hitoetra ao amin’ izay itoerantsika ihany isika ka tsy hiakatra eny aminy.

If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

10 Fa raha hoy kosa izy: Miakara etỳ aminay, dia hiakatra isika, fa efa natolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tanantsika izy; ary izany no ho famantarana ho antsika.

But if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand, and this shall be the sign to us.

11 Dia niseho tamin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina izy roa lahy, ary hoy ny Filistina: Indreo, misy Hebreo mifongatra avy any an-davaka niereny.

And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

12 Ary ny miaramila namaly an’ i Jonatana sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany hoe: Miakara etỳ aminay, dia hanehoanay zavatra ianareo. Ary hoy Jonatana tamin’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Manaraha ahy, fa efa natolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely izy.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

13 Ary Jonatana nananika, nandady tongotra aman-tanana, ary nanaraka azy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany. Dia lavo teo anatrehan’ i Jonatana ny Filistina, ary ny mpitondra ny fiadiany namono teo aoriany.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed them after him.

14 Ary tokony ho roa-polo lahy no matiny aloha, izay novonoin’ i Jonatana sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany tao anatin’ ny tany tokony ho antsasaky ny vavasa iray akera.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

15 Koa nisy hovitra tao amin’ ny toby tany an-tsaha sy tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra; ary ny teo amin’ ny miaramila sy ny mpandrava nangovitra koa, ary nihorohoro ny tany, ka dia nisy fampangovitana avy tamin’ Andriamanitra.

And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

16 Ary ny mpitilin’ i Saoly ao Gibean’ ny Benjamina dia nitazana, ka, indro, niely ny vahoaka sady nifanaritaka be ihany.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.

17 Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny olona teo aminy: Alaharo, ka izahao izay niala tamintsika. Ary nony voalahatra ny olona, dia Jonatana sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany no tsy teo.

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

18 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Ahia: Ento etỳ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra (fa teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra fahizany).

And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the sons of Israel.

19 Ary raha Saoly mbola niresaka tamin’ ny mpisorona, dia nandroso sy nitombo ny tabataba terỳ an-tobin’ ny Filistina. Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpisorona: Aoka ihany.

And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

20 Ary Saoly sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay teo aminy nivory, ka dia tonga tany amin’ ny ady izy, ary indreo ny Filistina nifamely tamin’ ny sabany, dia izy samy izy, ka nifanaritaka be ihany.

And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle. And, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

21 Ary ny Hebreo izay teo amin’ ny Filistina taloha ka niara-niakatra taminy ho any an-toby avy tamin’ ny tany manodidina dia nikambana tamin’ ny Isiraely izay teo amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana koa.

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as formerly, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely izay niery tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, raha nandre ny nandosiran’ ny Filistina, dia nanenjika azy fatratra koa tamin’ ny ady.

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed close after them in the battle.

23 Ary Jehovah namonjy ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany; ary tafahoatra any Betavena ny ady.

So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.

24 Ary ory ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany, nefa Saoly efa nampianiana ny olona hoe: Ho voaozona anie izay olona homan-kanina anio tontolo andro mandra-pamaliko ny fahavaloko. Dia tsy nisy olona nitendry hanina na dia iray akory aza.

And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

25 Ary ny olona rehetra amin’ ny tany dia niditra ny ala; ary nisy tantely teny ambonin’ ny tany.

And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the ground.

26 Ary rehefa tonga teo anaty ala ny olona, indro, nisy tantely nitsororoka; fa tsy nisy olona sahy nanainga ny tànany ho amin’ ny vavany, fa natahotra ny fianianana izy.

And when the people came to the forest, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27 Fa Jonatana kosa tsy nandre ny nampianianan-drainy ny olona; koa dia narosony ny loha-tehiny teny an-tànany ka natsobony teo amin’ ny tantely, ary nataony teo am-bavany ny tànany, ka dia nazava ny masony.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.

28 Ary nisy olona anankiray niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Rainao anie ka efa nampianiana mafy ny olona hoe: Ho voaozona anie izay olona homan-kanina anio; ka efa reraka ny olona.

Then one of the people answered, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day, and the people were faint.

29 Dia hoy Jonatana: Ikaky efa nampiditra loza tamin’ ny tany; koa jereo, masìna ianareo, he! izato fahazavan’ ny masoko tamin’ ilay nanandramako kely tamin’ ity tantely ity.

Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 Ka mainka fa raha navela hihinanan’ ny olona ny babo azony tamin’ ny fahavalony, tsy ho nahafatesana be lavitra va ny Filistina?

How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.

31 Ary izy ireo namely ny Filistina tamin’ izany andro izany hatrany Mikmasy ka hatrany Aialona, ary reraka indrindra ny olona.

And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint,

32 Dia nanaovan’ ny olona an-kazakazaka ny babo, ka naka ondry aman’ osy sy omby ary zanak’ omby izy, dia namono azy teo amin’ ny tany, ka dia nohanin’ ny olona mbamin’ ny ràny.

and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.

33 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Indro, ny olona manota amin’ i Jehovah, fa mihinana zavatra mbamin’ ny ràny izy. Ary hoy Saoly: Efa diso ianareo, manakodiava vato lehibe etỳ amiko anio.

Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously. Roll a great stone to me this day.

34 Ary hoy koa izy: Mieleza eny amin’ ny olona ianareo, ka lazao aminy hoe: Samia mitondra ny ombiny etỳ amiko, ary samia mitondra ny ondriny, ka vonoy eto izy, dia hano, ary aza manota amin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fihinanana zavatra mbamin’ ny ràny. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra samy nitondra ny ombiny niaraka taminy tamin’ izany alina izany ka namono azy teo.

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat. And sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

35 Ary Saoly nanao alitara ho an’ i Jehovah; io no alitara voalohany naoriny ho an’ i Jehovah.

And Saul built an altar to Jehovah; the same was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.

36 Ary hoy Saoly: Andeha isika hidina hanenjika ny Filistina anio alina ka hamabo azy ambara-pahazavan’ ny andro, ary tsy hasiantsika miangana izy. Dia hoy ny olona: Ataovy izay sitrakao. Fa hoy ny mpisorona: Andeha isika hanatona an’ Andriamanitra etoana.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.

37 Ary Saoly nanontany tamin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Hidina hanenjika ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely va izy? Fa tsy namaly azy akory Izy androtr’ iny.

And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.

38 Ary hoy Saoly: Manatona etỳ, ianareo loholona rehetra, ary fantaro ka izahao izay nahatonga izao fahotana androany izao?

And Saul said, Draw near here, all ye chiefs of the people, and know and see how this sin has been this day.

39 Fa raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay Mpamonjy ny Isiraely, dia na amin’ i Jonatana zanako aza no hahitana izany, dia ho faty tokoa izy. Fa tsy nisy namaly azy ny vahoaka rehetra.

For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

40 Dia hoy kosa izy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra: Hianareo no aoka ho an-daniny, ary izaho sy Jonatana zanako kosa ho an-daniny. Ary hoy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Saoly: Ataovy izay sitrakao.

Then he said to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to thee.

41 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Asehoy izay marina. Ary Jonatana sy Saoly no notànany, fa afaka ny olona.

Therefore Saul said to Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped.

42 Ary hoy Saoly; Manaova filokana ny amiko sy Jonatana zanako. Ary Jonatana no notànany.

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

43 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Jonatana: Ambarao amiko izay nataonao. Ary Jonatana nanambara taminy hoe: Nanandrana tantely kely monja tamin’ ny tendron’ ny tehina tetỳ an-tanako aho, ary, indro, tsy maintsy ho faty aho.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. And, lo, I must die.

44 Dia hoy Saoly: Hataon’ Andriamanitra toy izany anie, eny mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hatao maty tokoa ianao, ry Jonatana.

And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.

45 Fa hoy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Saoly: Ho faty va Jonatana, izay nanao izao famonjena lehibe izao tamin’ ny Isiraely? Sanatria izany! Raha velona koa Jehovah, tsy hisy na dia ny singam-bolony iray akory aza ho latsaka amin’ ny tany, fa niara-niasa tamin’ Andriamanitra izy androany. Ary ny vahoaka namonjy an’ i Jonatana, ka dia tsy maty izy.

And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.

46 Ary Saoly niakatra rehefa avy nanenjika ny Filistina; ary ny Filistina kosa dia lasa nankany amin’ ny taniny.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 Ary Saoly nahazo ny fanjakan’ Isiraely ary niady tamin’ ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina, dia tamin’ ny Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny Edomita sy ny mpanjakan’ i Zoba ary ny Filistina; ary izay nalehany rehetra dia resiny avokoa.

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.

48 Ary namory miaramila izy, dia namely ny Amalekita ka namonjy ny Isiraely tamin’ ny tànan’ izay namaboazy.

And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.

49 Ary izao no zanakalahin’ i Saoly: Jonatana sy Jisvy sy Malkisoa; izao kosa no anaran’ ny zananivavy roa: ny anaran’ ny vavimatoa Meraba, ary ny anaran’ ny faravavy Mikala.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

50 Ary ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Saoly dia Ahinoama, zanakavavin’ i Ahimaza: ary ny anaran’ ny komandin’ ny miaramilany dia Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, rahalahin-drain’ i Saoly.

And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

51 Ary Kisy no rain’ i Saoly; ary Nera, rain’ i Abnera, dia zanak’ i Abiela.

And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

52 Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ ny Filistina tamin’ ny andron’ i Saoly rehetra; koa raha nisy olona matanjaka sy mahery hitan’ i Saoly, dia nalainy ho azy.

And there was great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
