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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted 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;
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
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.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
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,
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward 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 his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 Ary Saoly nihaino ny tenin’ i Jonatana ka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy hatao maty izy.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not 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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 Ary mbola nisy ady ihany; dia nivoaka Davida ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina ary nahafaty betsaka, ka dia nandositra azy ireny.
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled 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.
An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand.
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.
Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
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.
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
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. He went away, fled, and escaped.
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.
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
14 Ary nony naniraka haka an’ i Davida Saoly, dia hoy ny vavy: Marary izy.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 Ary Saoly naniraka ny olona hizaha an’ i Davida indray ka nanao hoe: Ento miakatra atỳ amiko amin’ ny farafara izy hovonoiko.
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 Dia niditra ny iraka, kanjo, indro, ny sampy no teo am-parafara, ary voasaron’ ilay makarakara volon’ osy ny lohany.
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ 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
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
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.
Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
19 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Indro, Davida ao Naiota any Rama.
Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is 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.
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
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.
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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 also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, 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.
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until 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?
He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
