1 Samoela 29

1 Ary ny Filistina dia namory ny miaramilany rehetra ho ao Afeka; fa ny Isiraely kosa nitoby teo anilan’ ny loharano ao Jezirela.

Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

2 Ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nandroso nitarika ny miaramilany isan-jato sy isan’ arivo; fa Davida sy ny olony kosa nandroso teo aoriana niaraka tamin’ i Akisy.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear guard with Achish.

3 Ary hoy ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina: Haninona moa ireto Hebreo ireto? Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina: Tsy io va no Davida, mpanompon’ i Saoly, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ilay tatỳ amiko elaela ihany izay, ary tsy hitako izay tsininy hatrizay nialany niandany tamiko ka mandraka androany?

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell to me to this day?

4 Dia tezitra taminy ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina ka nanao taminy hoe: Avereno ihany ilehio ho any amin’ ny fonenany izay efa nomenao azy, fa aza avela hidina hiaraka amintsika hiady izy, fandrao ho tonga fahavalontsika raha miady; fa amin’ inona no hahazoan’ io sitraka amin’ ny tompony? Tsy amin’ ny lohan’ ireto olona ireto va?

And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for with which should he reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

5 Tsy io moa no Davida, izay nandihizany sy nanaovany hira mifamaly hoe: “Saoly nahafaty arivoarivo, Fa Davida nahafaty alinalina?”

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Ary Akisy niantso an’ i Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, marina ianao, sady sitrako ny iarahanao miditra sy mivoaka amiko eto an-toby, fa tsy hitako izay tsininao hatrizay nahatongavanao teto amiko ka mandraka androany; nefa kosa tsy sitrak’ ireo andriana ireo ianao.

Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favor you not.

7 Koa miverena, ary mandehana soa aman-tsara, mba tsy hanaovanao izay tsy sitrak’ ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina.

Why now return, and go in peace, that you displease not the lords of the Philistines.

8 Fa hoy Davida tamin’ i Akisy: Inona no nataoko, ary inona no hitanao tamin’ ny mpanomponao hatrizay nitoerako tatỳ aminao ka mandraka androany, no tsy hahazoako mandeha hiady amin’ ny fahavalon’ ny mpanjaka tompoko?

And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what have you found in your servant so long as I have been with you to this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

9 Ary Akisy namaly an’ i Davida hoe: Fantatro fa tsara eo imasoko tahaka ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra ianao; nefa ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina no nanao hoe: Tsy hiara-miakatra amintsika hiady izy.

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 Koa mifohaza maraina koa ianao mbamin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tomponao izay nanaraka anao; ary rehefa nifoha maraina ianareo, ka mazava ny andro, dia mandehana.

Why now rise up early in the morning with your master’s servants that are come with you: and as soon as you be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

11 Ary Davida sy ny olony nifoha maraina koa handeha maraina hiverina any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina. Ary ny Filistina dia niakatra nankany Jezirela.

So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
