2 Samoela 21
1 Ary nisy mosary telo taona misesy tamin’ ny andron’ i Davida, ary Davida nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah. Dia hoy Jehovah: Avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Saoly, izay meloka noho ny fandatsahan-drà izao, satria namono ny Gibeonita izy.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David besought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said, On account of Saul, and on account of the house of blood, is this; because he hath slain the Gib'onites.
2 Ary ny mpanjaka nampaka ny Gibeonita ka nanao taminy hoe (ny Gibeonita tsy mba isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fa sisa tamin’ ny Amorita, ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nianiana taminy; nefa Saoly nitady izay hamelezany azy amin’ ny firehetan’ ny fitiavany ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny Joda),
And the king called for the Gib'onites, and said unto them: [now the Gib'onites are not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Emorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; but Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel in Judah: ]
3 ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny Gibeonita: Inona no hataoko ho anareo; ary amin’ inona no hanaovako fanavotana mba hitsofanareo rano ny lovan’ i Jehovah?
Wherefore David said unto the Gib'onites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Dia hoy ny Gibeonita taminy: Izahay tsy mahazo mandray volafotsy na volamena amin’ i Saoly na amin’ ny taranany sady tsy mahazo mamono olona amin’ ny Isiraely Ary hoy izy: Koa ahoana ary no tianareo hataoko ho anareo?
And the Gib'onites said unto him, We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul and with his house: nor do we wish to kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye say, will I do for you.
5 Dia hoy izy ireo tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Ny lehilahy izay nandringana anay sy nikasa hamely anay ho ringana tsy hitoetra amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed, so that we should have no footing in all the boundaries of Israel.
6 no avelao hisy fito lahy amin’ ny zanany hatolotra anay hahantonay ho an’ i Jehovah ao Gibean’ i Saoly, ilay voafidin’ i Jehovah. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Hatolotro izy.
Let there be delivered unto us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'ah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
7 Fa ny mpanjaka niaro an’ i Mefiboseta, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, noho ny fianianana tamin’ i Jehovah nataon’ i Davida sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly.
But the king had pity on Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Ary ny mpanjaka naka azy roa lahy, zanak’ i Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, izay naterany tamin’ i Saoly, dia Armony sy Mefiboseta, ary ny dimy lahy zanak’ i Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, izay naterany tamin’ i Adriela, zanak’ i Barzilay Meholatita,
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she had born unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had brought up for 'Adriel the son of Barzillai the Mecholathite:
9 dia natolony teo an-tànan’ ny Gibeonita ireo ka nahanton’ ireo teo amin’ ny havoana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary niara-maty izy fitolahy, samy novonoiny tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny fararano tamin’ ny voalohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary hordea izy.
And he delivered them into the hand of the Gib'onites, and they hanged them on the mount before the Lord; and they fell, these seven, together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley-harvest.
10 Ary Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, naka lamba fisaonana, dia novelariny teo amin’ ny vatolampy iny hitoerany hatramin’ ny niandohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ka ambara-pilatsaky ny orana avy any an-danitra tamin’ ny faty, ka tsy navelany hipetrahan’ ny voro-manidina ireo raha antoandro, na ny bibi-dia raha alina.
And Rizpah the daughter of Ayah took sackcloth, and spread out it for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped down upon them out of heaven, and she suffered neither the birds of heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Ary nambara tamin’ i Davida izay nataon’ i Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, vaditsindranon’ i Saoly.
And it was told to David what Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Dia lasa Davida naka ny taolan’ i Saoly sy ny taolan’ i Jonatana zanany tany amin’ ny mponina tao Jabesi-gileada, izay nangalatra azy tao an-kalalahana any Beti-sana, ilay nanantonan’ ny Filistina azy tamin’ ny andro namonoan’ ny Filistina an’ i Saoly tao Gilboa.
And David then went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Yabeshgil'ad, who had stolen them from the market-place of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them up, at the time the Philistines had smitten Saul at Gilboa':
13 Ary dia nentiny niakatra avy tany ny taolan’ i Saoly sy ny taolan’ i Jonatana zanany, ary nangoniny koa ny taolan’ ireo voahantona ireo.
And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered up the bones of those that had been hanged.
14 Ary ny taolan’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany dia nalevin’ ny olona tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina tao Zela, tao amin’ ny fasan’ i Kisy rainy; ary dia vitany izay rehetra nandidian’ ny mpanjaka. Ary nony efa vita izany, dia neken’ Andriamanitra ny fifonana natao ho an’ ny tany.
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin at Zela', in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king had commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 Ary niady indray ny Filistina sy ny Isiraely; ary Davida sy ny mpanompony izay nanaraka azy dia nidina ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina, ary reraka Davida.
And the Philistines had again a war with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became fatigued.
16 Ary Jisbibenoba, izay isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta (ny lanjan’ ny lefony dia varahina telon-jato sekely), dia nitondra fiadiana vaovao ka nikasa hahafaty an’ i Davida.
And Yishbi at Nob, who was of the children of the Raphah, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of copper, he being girded with a new armor, thought to slay David.
17 Fa Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, nanampy azy, dia namely ilay Filistina ka nahafaty azy. Ary tamin’ izay ny olon’ i Davida dia nianiana taminy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hiara-mivoaka aminay intsony ho amin’ ny ady ianao, fandrao hovonoinao ny fahazavan’ ny Isiraely.
But Abishai the son of Zeruyah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then swore the men of David unto him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nisy ady indray amin’ ny Filistina teo Goba, ary Sibeka Hosatita nahafaty an’ i Safa, izay isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle at Gob, with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Saph, who was of the children of the Raphah.
19 Ary nisy ady indray koa tamin’ ny Filistina teo Goba, ary Elanana, zanak’ i Jare-oregima Betlehemita, namono an’ i Goliata Gatita, izay nanan-jaran-defona tahaka ny vodi-tenon’ ny mpanenona.
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Ya'are-oregim, the Bethlechemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Ary nisy ady koa tao Gata, ary nisy lehilahy vaventy, izay enin-drantsana, ka dia efatra amby roa-polo no isan’ ny rantsan-tànany sy ny rantsan-tongony, ary izy koa dia mba teraky ny Refaïta.
And there was again a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [in all] four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the Raphah.
21 Ary izy nihaika ny Isiraely, ka matin’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'ah, the brother of David, slew him.
22 Ireo efatra ireo no teraky ny Refaïta teo Gata, ka matin’ ny tànan’ i Davida sy ny tanan’ ny mpanompony avokoa ireo.
These four were born to the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
