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 it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt 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 had taken captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone on their way.
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.
When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
4 Ary Davida sy ny mpanaraka azy dia nanandratra ny feony nitomany ambara-paha-tsy nahatomany intsony izy.
And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Ary voababo koa izy roa vavy vadin’ i Davida, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala Karmelita.
And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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 distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself 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 Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto 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 asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
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, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
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 on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
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 took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
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 a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any water, 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 David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today three days ago.
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 invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn 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, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
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 he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Dia rarak’ i Davida izay rehetra efa nobaboin’ ny Amalekita; ary dia azon’ i Davida koa ny vadiny roa.
And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
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 there was nothing missing to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring 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 David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
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 had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
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 exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, 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 said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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 who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
25 Dia izany no fanao hatramin’ izany andro izany, ka dia natao didy sy lalàna tamin’ ny Isiraely izany ambaraka androany.
And it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until 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,
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil 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 Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
28 sy ho an’ izay ao Aroera sy ho an’ izay ao Sifmota sy ho an’ izay ao Estemoa
And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those 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 to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities 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 Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those 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 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
