1 Samoela 22
1 Ary Davida niala teo ka nandositra nankany amin’ ny zohin’ i Adolama; ary nony nandre izany ny rahalahiny sy ny mpianakavin-drainy, dia nidina tany aminy ireo.
So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
2 Ary izay mahantra rehetra sy izay mpitrosa rehetra ary izay manana alahelo am-po rehetra dia nivory tao aminy, ary izy no tonga mpifehy azy; ka dia tonga tokony ho efa-jato lahy ny tao aminy.
Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
3 Ary Davida niala tao nankany Mizpa any Moaba ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba hoe: Masìna ianao, avelao ny raiko sy ny reniko ho avy atỳ hitoetra etỳ aminao ambara-pahafantatro izay hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko.
Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until I know what God will do for me.”
4 Ary dia nentiny ho eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba izy ireo ka nonina teo aminy tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoeran’ i Davida tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana.
He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
5 Ary hoy Gada mpaminany tamin’ i Davida: Aza mitoetra ao amin’ ny batery fiarovana; fa mialà, ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda. Dia nandeha Davida ka tonga tany an’ ala Hareta.
Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into the forest of Hereth.
6 Ary ren’ i Saoly fa hita Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy (nipetraka tao Gibea teo ambanin’ ny hazo tamariska teo an-kavoana Saoly tamin’ izay, sady nisy lefona teny an-tànany, ary ny mpanompony rehetra nitsangana teo anoloany),
Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
7 dia hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpanompony izay teo anoloany: Henoy kely, ry taranak’ i Benjamina: Moa ianareo rehetra koa mba homen’ ny zanak’ i Jese saha sy tanim-boaloboka, ary mba hataony mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato ianareo rehetra,
Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8 no dia miray tetika hanohitra ahy ianareo rehetra, ka tsy nisy nanambara tamiko fa ny zanako nanao fanekena tamin’ ny zanak’ i Jese, ary tsy nisy nalahelo ahy akory ianareo, na nanambara tamiko fa ny zanako efa nanome fo ny mpanompoko ho mpanotrika ahy tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao?
in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
9 Ary Doega Edomita, mpifehy ny mpanompon’ i Saoly, namaly ka nanao hoe: Nahita ny zanak’ i Jese tonga tany Noba aho tany amin’ i Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Ahitoba.
Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
10 Ary Ahimeleka nanontany ho azy tamin’ i Jehovah sady nanome azy vatsy; ary nomeny azy koa ny sabatr’ i Goliata Filistina.
He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Ary ny mpanjaka dia naniraka naka an’ i Ahimeleka mpisorona, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy ny tarana-drainy rehetra, izay mpisorona, tao Noba; ka dia tonga tany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy rehetra.
Then the king sent someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
12 Ary hoy Saoly: Mba mihainoa ianao, ry zanak’ i Ahitoba. Ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho, tompoko.
Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
13 Ary hoy Saoly taminy: Nahoana ianareo no niray tetika hanohitra ahy, dia ianao sy ny zanak’ i Jese, tamin’ ilay nanomezanao azy mofo sy sabatra ary nanontanianao ho azy tamin’ Andriamanitra hahatongavany ho mpanotrika ahy tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao?
Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
14 Ary Ahimeleka namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Iza moa amin’ ny mpanomponao rehetra no mba mahatoky tahaka an’ i Davida, izay vinanton’ ny mpanjaka sady mpanolo-tsaina anao sy malaza ao an-tranonao?
Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your house?
15 Ary vao izay va no nanontaniako ho azy tamin’ Andriamanitra? Sanatria ahy izany! Aoka ny mpanjaka tsy hanome tsiny ny mpanompony na ny tarana-draiko rehetra; fa ny mpanomponao tsy nahalala na inona na inona ny amin’ izany rehetra izany, na kely na be.
Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
16 Fa hoy ny mpanjaka: Hatao maty tokoa ianao, ry Ahimeleka, dia ianao sy ny tarana-drainao rehetra.
The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house.”
17 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpiambina izay teo anoloany: Mihodìna, ka vonoy ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah; fa ny tànan’ ireo koa momba an’ i Davida, satria fantany ihany fa nandositra izy, nefa tsy nambarany tamiko izany. Fa ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka tsy nety naninjitra ny tànany hamely ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah.
The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill the priests of Yahweh.
18 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Doega: Mihodìna ianao, ka asio ny mpisorona. Ary Doega Edomita nihodina ka namely ny mpisorona, dia nahafaty olona dimy amby valo-polo izay nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy.
Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
19 Dia nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra koa Noba, tanànan’ ny mpisorona, dia ny lehilahy sy ny vehivavy, ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono, ny omby sy ny boriky ary ny ondry aman’ osy.
He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to the sword.
20 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny zanak’ i Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, Abiatara no anarany, dia afa-nandositra ka nanaraka an’ i Davida.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
21 Ary Abiatara nanambara tamin’ i Davida ny namonoan’ i Saoly ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah.
Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh's priests.
22 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abiatara: Fantatro androtr’ iny ihany fa tao Doega Edomita ka hilaza amin’ i Saoly tokoa; koa izaho no anton’ ny nahafaty ny olona rehetra tamin’ ny tarana-drainao.
David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
23 Tomoera etỳ amiko, ka aza matahotra; fa izay mikatsaka ny aiko no mikatsaka ny ainao koa; fa eto amiko no hahavoavonjy anao.
Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
