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.
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
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 the Gibeonites, and said to them; (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to the children of Israel and 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 to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what 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 Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] 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 answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining within the borders 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 seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD chose. 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 spared 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,
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
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 hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], in the beginning of 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 Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air 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 David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah 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 went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in 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 thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were 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 the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulcher of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king 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.
Moreover, the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became faint.
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 Ishbi-benob, who [was] of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain 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 Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not extinguish the light 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 with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, who [was] of the sons of the giant.
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 in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew [the brother of] 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 yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 Ary izy nihaika ny Isiraely, ka matin’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah 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 giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
