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;
And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with 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 they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
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.
Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
4 Ary Davida sy ny mpanaraka azy dia nanandratra ny feony nitomany ambara-paha-tsy nahatomany intsony izy.
David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
5 Ary voababo koa izy roa vavy vadin’ i Davida, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita.
For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
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 saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by 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 he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought 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.
And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
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.
Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
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.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
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 they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might 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 also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three 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 so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
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.
For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with 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, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
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 led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from 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 struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
18 Dia rarak’ i Davida izay rehetra efa nobaboin’ ny Amalekita; ary dia azon’ i Davida koa ny vadiny roa.
Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued 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.
And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
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 he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
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.
Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
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.
And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
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.
But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
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.
And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
25 Dia izany no fanao hatramin’ izany andro izany, ka dia natao didy sy lalàna tamin’ ny Isiraely izany ambaraka androany.
And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
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,
Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
27 dia ho an’ izay ao Betela sy izay any Ramata amin’ ny tany atsimo sy ho an’ izay ao Jatira
to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
28 sy ho an’ izay ao Aroera sy ho an’ izay ao Sifmota sy ho an’ izay ao Estemoa
and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in 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 who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
30 sy ho an’ izay ao Horma sy ho an’ izay ao Korasana sy ho an’ izay ao Ataka
and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were 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 who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
