1 Samoela 19
1 Ary Saoly niresaka tamin’ i Jonatana zanany sy tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra ny amin’ izay hahafaty an’ i Davida. Fa Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, kosa tia dia tia an’ i Davida.
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
2 Ary Jonatana nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Saoly raiko mitady hamono anao; koa, masìna ianao, tandremo ny tenanao rahampitso maraina, ary mitoera amin’ izay fitoerana mangingina, ka miere;
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
3 ary izaho hivoaka ka hitsangana eo anilan’ ikaky amin’ ny saha izay misy anao, dia hiresaka aminy ny aminao; koa izay hitako dia hambarako aminao.
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
4 Ary Jonatana nilaza soa an’ i Davida tamin’ i Saoly rainy, ka hoy izy taminy: Aoka ny mpanjaka tsy hanisy ratsy an’ i Davida mpanompony, fa izy tsy nanisy ratsy anao, sady nahasoa anao indrindra ny nataony,
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
5 fa izy efa nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ka namono ny Filistina, ary Jehovah nahavita famonjena lehibe ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra; ianao nahita izany ka faly; koa nahoana no dia hanota handatsaka rà marina ianao ka hahafaty foana an’ i Davida?
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6 Ary Saoly nihaino ny tenin’ i Jonatana ka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy hatao maty izy.
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7 Ary Jonatana niantso an’ i Davida ka nanambara izany rehetra Izany taminy, dia nitondra an’ i Davida ho eo amin’ i Saoly, ka dia nitoetra teo anatrehany tahaka ny teo aloha ihany indray izy.
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8 Ary mbola nisy ady ihany; dia nivoaka Davida ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina ary nahafaty betsaka, ka dia nandositra azy ireny.
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9 Ary nisy fanahy ratsy avy tany amin’ i Jehovah tonga tao amin’ i Saoly, raha nipetraka tao an-tranony izy sy nitana ny lefony teny an-tànany; ary Davida nitendry lokanga tamin’ ny tànany.
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10 Ary Saoly nihendry hamely an’ i Davida tamin’ ny lefona, ka hataony miboroaka mihatra amin’ ny rindrina; fa izy nisoroka niala teo anatrehan’ i Saoly, ka ny rindrina no voan’ ny lefona; dia nandositra Davida ka afaka tamin’ iny alina iny ihany.
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11 Ary Saoly naniraka olona hankany amin’ ny tranon’ i Davida hiambina azy hahafaty azy raha maraina; fa Mikala, vadin’ i Davida, nilaza taminy hoe: Raha tsy mamonjy ny ainao anio alina ianao, dia hatao maty raha maraina.
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12 Ary Mikala nampidina an’ i Davida tamin’ ny varavarankely; ka dia lasa nandositra izy ka afaka.
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13 Ary nalain’ i Mikala ny sampy, dia napetrany teo amin’ ny farafarany, ka nosaronany makarakara volon’ osy ny lohany, dia norakofany ny lamba izy.
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14 Ary nony naniraka haka an’ i Davida Saoly, dia hoy ny vavy: Marary izy.
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15 Ary Saoly naniraka ny olona hizaha an’ i Davida indray ka nanao hoe: Ento miakatra atỳ amiko amin’ ny farafara izy hovonoiko.
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16 Dia niditra ny iraka, kanjo, indro, ny sampy no teo am-parafara, ary voasaron’ ilay makarakara volon’ osy ny lohany.
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Mikala: Nahoana ianao no namitaka ahy toy izany ka nandefa ny fahavaloko, ary afa-nandositra izy? Fa hoy Mikala tamin’ i Saoly: Hoy izy tamiko: Avelao aho handeha, fandrao hovonoiko
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18 Dia nandositra Davida ka afaka ary tonga tany amin’ i Samoela tany Rama, dia nambarany azy izay rehetra nataon’ i Saoly taminy; ary nandeha izy sy Samoela ka nonina tany Naiota.
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Indro, Davida ao Naiota any Rama.
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Ary Saoly naniraka olona hisambotra an’ i Davida; ary nony hitan’ ireo ny mpaminany tafangona sy maminany ary Samoela mitsangana eo ho lohany, dia tonga tamin’ ny irak’ i Saoly ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka dia mba naminany koa izy.
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21 Ary nony nisy nanambara izany tamin’ i Saoly, dia naniraka olon-kafa izy, ary ireo koa dia mba naminany. Ary Saoly naniraka olonkafa indray fanintelony, nefa naminany ihany koa ireo.
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
22 Ary dia lasa nankany Rama koa ny tenany, ary tonga tao amin’ ny lavaka lehibe famorian-drano izay ao Seko izy ka nanontany hoe: Aiza Samoela sy Davida? Ary hoy ny anankiray: Indreo ao Naiota any Rama izy.
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Dia nankany Naiota any Rama Saoly, ary tonga tao aminy koa ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, dia nandroso izy sady naminany teny am-pandehanana ambara-pahatongany tany Naiota any Rama.
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Ary nanaisotra ny fitafiany koa izy ka mba naminany tahaka ny sasany teo anatrehan’ i Samoela, ary izy nandry nitanjaka mandritra iny andro sy alina iny. Koa izany no nanaovan’ ny olona hoe: Saoly koa moa mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
