1 Samoela 30

1 Ary nony tonga teo Ziklaga Davida sy ny olony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, dia, indro, ny Amalekita efa nanafika ny tany atsimo sy Ziklaga ka namely an’ i Ziklaga sy nandoro azy tamin’ ny afo;

Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

2 ary efa namabo ny vehivavy sy izay rehetra tao izy, na lehibe na kely, nefa tsy nisy novonoiny na dia iray aza; fa nentiny ho babo ireo, ka lasa nandeha izy.

And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.

3 Ary Davida sy ny olony tonga tao amin’ ny tanàna, ary, indro, efa levon’ ny afo ny tanàna; ary ny vadiny mbamin’ ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy efa lasan-ko babo.

And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

4 Ary Davida sy ny mpanaraka azy dia nanandratra ny feony nitomany ambara-paha-tsy nahatomany intsony izy.

Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.

5 Ary voababo koa izy roa vavy vadin’ i Davida, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita.

And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

6 Ary ory indrindra Davida, fa ny olona nifampitaona hitora-bato azy, satria samy nalahelo ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ny olona rehetra; fa Davida kosa nampahery ny tenany tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.

And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

7 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abiatara mpisorona, zanak’ i Ahimeleka: Masìna ianao, ento etỳ amiko ny efoda. Dia nentin’ i Abiatara teo amin’ i Davida ny efoda.

And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

8 Ary Davida nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Henjehiko va izany jirika izany? Ho tratro va izy? Dia namaly azy Jehovah hoe: Enjeho izy, fa ho tratranao tokoa ary ho rarakao.

Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.

9 Dia lasa Davida sy ny enin-jato lahy izay nanaraka azy ka tonga teo amin’ ny renirano Besora, ary teo no nijanonan’ ny sasany.

So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

10 Ary Davida sy ny efa-jato lahy no nanenjika; fa ny roan-jato lahy kosa, izay reraka ka tsy afaka nita ny renirano Besora, dia nijanona tany aoriana.

And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.

11 Ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana tany an-tsaha ny olona, ka nentiny tany amin’ i Davida; ary nomeny hanina ralehilahy, ka nihinana izy, ary nampisotroiny rano koa izy.

And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;

12 Ary nomeny ampempan’ aviavy iray didy sy voaloboka maina roa sampaho izy; ary rehefa nihinana izy, dia nody indray ny ainy; fa hateloan’ andro sy hateloan’ alina izy tsy nihinan-kanina na nisotro rano.

And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

13 Ary hoy Davida taminy: An’ iza moa ianao, ary avy taiza? Ary hoy izy: Zatovo Egyptiana, mpanompon’ ny Amalekita anankiray, aho; ary narian’ ny tompoko aho, fa narary afaka omaly.

And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

14 Izahay efa nanafika ny tany atsimo izay an’ ny Keretita sy ny an’ i Joda ary ny tany atsimo izay an’ i Kaleba ary nandoro an’ i Ziklaga tamin’ ny afo.

We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

15 Ary hoy Davida taminy: Hitondra ahy midìna ho amin’ izany jirika izany va ianao? Ary hoy izy: Mianiàna amiko amin’ Andriamanitra fa tsy hamono ahy ianao na hanolotra ahy ho eo an-tànan’ ny tompoko, dia hitondra anao midìna ho amin’ izany jirika izany aho.

And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.

16 Ary nony nentiny nidina izy, indreo, miely eran’ ny tany izy ka homana sy misotro ary milanona noho ny haben’ ny babo rehetra izay azony tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina sy ny tanin’ ny Joda.

And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.

17 Ary Davida namely azy tamin’ iny takariva iny ka hatramin’ ny ampitso hariva; ary tsy nisy olona afaka, afa-tsy zatovo efa-jato lahy izay nitaingina rameva ka nandositra.

And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

18 Dia rarak’ i Davida izay rehetra efa nobaboin’ ny Amalekita; ary dia azon’ i Davida koa ny vadiny roa.

And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.

19 Ary tsy nisy zavatra tsy azony, na kely na be, na zazalahy na zazavavy, na inona na inona tamin’ izay nobaboin’ ireny; izany rehetra izany dia azon’ i Davida avokoa.

There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.

20 Ary Davida naka ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby rehetra; ary nentiny nialoha ny omby hafa ireo, sady nisy niantso hoe: Itony no babon’ i Davida.

And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.

21 Ary Davida tonga teo amin’ ny roan-jato lahy, izay reraka ka tsy afaka nanaraka azy, fa najanony teo amin’ ny renirano Besora; ary dia nandeha ireo hitsena an’ i Davida sy ny olona nanaraka azy; ary nony tonga teo akaikin’ ny olona Davida, dia nanontany izay toeny.

And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

22 Dia niteny ny olona sompatra sy tena ratsy fanahy rehetra avy nanaraka an’ i Davida ka nanao hoe: Satria tsy mba niaraka tamintsika ireo, dia tsy hanomezantsika azy ny babo izay azontsika, afa-tsy ny vadiny aman-janany isany avy; fa ireo no aoka ho entiny, dia handeha izy.

Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.

23 Fa hoy Davida: Aza manao izany amin’ izay nomen’ i Jehovah antsika, ry rahalahy; fa niaro antsika Izy, ary natolony teo an-tanantsika ny jirika izay tonga namely antsika.

Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.

24 Koa iza no hanaiky anareo amin’ izany? Fa tahaka ny anjaran’ izay nidina hiady ihany no ho anjaran’ izay nitoetra tamin’ ny entana: hiara-misalahy izy.

Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

25 Dia izany no fanao hatramin’ izany andro izany, ka dia natao didy sy lalàna tamin’ ny Isiraely izany ambaraka androany.

And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

26 Ary raha tonga tao Ziklaga Davida, dia mba nanaterany ho an’ ny loholon’ ny Joda sakaizany ny babo ka nataony hoe: Inty izay saotra ho anareo avy amin’ ny babo azo tamin’ ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah,

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;

27 dia ho an’ izay ao Betela sy izay any Ramata amin’ ny tany atsimo sy ho an’ izay ao Jatira

He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;

28 sy ho an’ izay ao Aroera sy ho an’ izay ao Sifmota sy ho an’ izay ao Estemoa

And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa

29 sy ho an’ izay ao Rakala sy ho an’ izay any an-tanànan’ ny Jeramelita sy ho an’ izay any an-tanànan’ ny Kenita

and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;

30 sy ho an’ izay ao Horma sy ho an’ izay ao Korasana sy ho an’ izay ao Ataka

And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;

31 sy ho an’ izay ao Hebrona ary ho an’ izay any amin’ ny tany rehetra nandehandehanan’ i Davida sy ny olony.

And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
