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 happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t 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;
Saul stayed in the uttermost 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.
including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t 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.
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.
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh 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.
His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your 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 reveal 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 this to us, ‘Wait 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 this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. 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.
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden 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.
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh 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.
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on 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.
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.
There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders 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.
The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
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, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, 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).
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
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.
While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your 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.
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
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 before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, 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 hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
23 Ary Jehovah namonjy ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany; ary tafahoatra any Betavena ny ady.
So Yahweh 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.
The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of 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.
All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on 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.
When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one 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 didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out 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 brightened.
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, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So 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. Please look how my eyes have brightened 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 perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder 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.
They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. 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 pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, 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 are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
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.
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” 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.
Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
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.
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s 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.
Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
38 Ary hoy Saoly: Manatona etỳ, ianareo loholona rehetra, ary fantaro ka izahao izay nahatonga izao fahotana androany izao?
Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
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 Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is 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, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
42 Ary hoy Saoly; Manaova filokana ny amiko sy Jonatana zanako. Ary Jonatana no notànany.
Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
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 you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, 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.
Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you 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.
The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t 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 children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
48 Ary namory miaramila izy, dia namely ny Amalekita ka namonjy ny Isiraely tamin’ ny tànan’ izay namaboazy.
He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered 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, 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.
The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. 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.
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.
There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
