2 Samoela 1
1 Ary nony maty Saoly, ary niverina avy namono ny Amalekita Davida, dia nitoetra indroa andro tao Ziklaga izy.
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
2 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, indro, nisy lehilahy iray tonga avy tany amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Saoly, triatra ny akanjony sady nihosin-tany ny lohany; ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ i Davida izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany ka nitsaoka.
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
3 Ary hoy Davida taminy: Avy taiza moa ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Afaka nandositra avy tany amin’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely aho.
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 Ary hoy Davida taminy: Nanao ahoana izay tany? Masìna ianao, ambarao amiko. Dia hoy izy: Ny olona nandositra tamin’ ny ady, ary be koa ny miampatrampatra sy maty, ary maty koa Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo niteny taminy: Ahoana no nahafantaranao fa maty Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 Dia nanambara taminy ilay zatovo nanao hoe: Sendra tao an-tendrombohitra Gilboa aho, ary, indro, Saoly nitehina tamin’ ny lefony; ary, indreo, ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly nanenjika azy mafy.
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
7 Dia niherika izy ka nahita ahy; ary niantso ahy izy, ka hoy izaho: Inty aho.
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
8 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Iza moa ianao? Dia hoy izaho taminy: Amalekita aho.
And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
9 Ary hoy indray izy tamiko: Masìna ianao, hatony kely aho, ka vonoy, fa marary mivonkina ozatra aho, fa mbola ato anatiko ihany ny aiko.
And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
10 Dia nanatona azy aho ka namono azy, satria fantatro fa tsy ho velona izy, rehefa resy, ka dia nalaiko ny satro-boninahiny teo an-dohany sy ny fehin-tanana teo amin’ ny sandriny, ka nentiko etỳ amin’ ny tompoko izany.
So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
11 Dia noraisin’ i Davida ny fitafiany ka notriariny: ary dia mba nanao toy izany koa ny olona rehetra teo aminy.
And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments.
12 Ary nisaona sy nitomany sy nifady hanina ambara-paharivan’ ny andro izy noho ny amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany sy ny olon’ i Jehovah ary ny taranak’ Isiraely, satria lavon-tsabatra ireny.
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with the sword.
13 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo nanambara taminy: Avy aiza ianao? Ary hoy izy: Zanaky ny vahiny Amalekita aho.
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
14 Dia hoy Davida taminy: Nahoana ianao no tsy natahotra haninjitra ny tananao hamono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah?
And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
15 Dia niantso zatovo anankiray Davida ka nanao hoe: Hatony io, ka vonoy; dia nasiany izy ka maty.
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
16 ary hoy Davida taminy: Aoka ny rànao ho eo amin’ ny lohanao, satria ny vavanao ihany no efa niampanga anao nanao hoe: Izaho no namono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah.
And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
17 Ary Davida nisaona an’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany tamin’ izao hira fisaonana izao
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
18 (ary nasainy nampianarina ny taranak’ i Joda ny hira atao hoe Tsipika; indro, voasoratra ao amin’ ny Bokin’ i Jasara izany):
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
19 Ilay voninahitrao, ry Isiraely, no voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao; Endrey! Lavo ny mahery!
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza torinareo ho fifaliana any an-dalamben’ i Askelona. Fandrao mifaly ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina. Fandrao miravoravo ny zanakavavin’ ny tsy mifora.
Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Hianareo tendrombohitra Gilboa, Aza misy ando aman’ orana intsony eny aminareo, na saha angalana fanatitra asandratra, satria tany no nandotoana ny ampingan’ ny mahery, Dia ny ampingan’ i Saoly, ka tsy nohosorana diloilo.
Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 Ny tsipìkan’ i Jonatana tsy nihemotra. Raha tsy nahazo ny ran’ ny maty sy ny tavin’ ny mahery; ary ny sabatr’ i Saoly tsy mba niverina foana.
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
23 Saoly sy Jonatana, izay tiana sady mahate-ho-tia fony fahavelony, dia tsy nosarahina na dia tamin’ ny nahafatesany aza; Faingana noho ny voromahery izy ary mahery noho ny liona.
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
24 Ry zanakavavin’ Isiraely, mitomania an’ i Saoly, fa nahafinaritra ny mampitafiany jaky anareo, sady nasiany firava-bolamena ny fitafianareo.
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
25 Endrey! lavo teo amin’ ny ady ny mahery voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao Jonatana.
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
26 Ory noho ny aminao aho, ry Jonatana rahalahiko; nahafinaritra ahy indrindra ianao; nahagaga ny fitiavanao ahy mihoatra noho ny fitiavan’ ny vehivavy.
I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
27 Endrey! lavo ny mahery, ary levona ny fiadiana!
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
