1 Samoela 14
1 Aa teo ty andro te nanao ty hoe amy mpinday fikala’ey t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole: Antao hitsake mb’ ampirai-lia’ o nte-Pilisty an-kalo’ o e hoekeo mb’eo. F’ie tsy nampandrendrek’ an-drae’e.
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.
2 Nihenekenek’ añ’ ila’ i Gibeà añe t’i Saole ambane’ i ampongabendañitse e Migroney; va’e enen-jato t’indaty nirekets’ ama’e
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.
3 naho i Ahiià, ana’ i Ahitobe, rahalahi’ Ikabode, Ana’ i Pinekase, ana’i Elý mpisoro’ Iehovà e Silò ao, nisikiñe i kitambey. Le tsy napota’ ondatio te tsy teo t’Ionatane.
And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
4 Añivo’ i hebam-bohitse nipaia’ Ionatane hitsahañe mb’ amy firimboñam-Pilistiy mb’eoy ty tevañe vatoeñe añ’ ila’e raike naho ty tevam-bato añ’ila’e ka; i Bozeze ty añara’ ty raike, naho Seneke ty añara’ ty raike.
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Nionjoñ’ añ’ila’e avaratse tandrife i Mikmase ty tevañe raike naho atimo tandrife i Geba ty ila’e.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
6 Le hoe t’Ionatane amy ajalahy ninday o fikala’eoy: Antao, hitsake mb’ amy mpirai-lia’ o tsy sinavatseoy hera hañolotse antika t’Iehovà amy te tsy sebañeñe t’Iehovà handrombake he ami’ty maro ke ami’ty tsy ampe.
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
7 Le hoe i mpinday fikala’ey: Anò iaby ze añ’arofo’o; mitoliha, hehe te ama’o iraho, ndra ino ty satrin’ arofo’o.
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines towards: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.
8 Aa le hoe t’Ionatane, Inao! hitsake mb’ am’ ondaty reo tika, hiatreatre iareo.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Aa naho anoe’ iareo ty hoe, Ey avao ampara’ te pok’ ama’ areo eo zahay; le hijohañe eo avao tika, fa tsy hiañambone mb’ ama’e.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
10 F’ie manao ty hoe: Mionjona mb’ ama’ay mb’atoy. Le hionjomb’eo tika, fa tinolo’ Iehovà an-tañan-tika; izay ty ho viloñe aman-tika.
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.
11 Le nivotrak’ amy mpirai-liam-Pilistiy, iereo roe; le hoe ty asa’ o nte-Pilistio: Hehe te mipororoake boak’ an-koboñe fipalira’e ao o nte-Evreo.
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
12 Aa le hoe ty asa’ ondati’ i mpirai-liaio am’ Ionatane naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey: Mionjona mb’ ama’ay mb’etoa, hanoroa’ay raha. Aa le hoe t’Ionatane amy mpitàm-pikala’ey, Oriho iraho te hionjoñe; fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ Israele iereo.
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 Aa le nanganike mb’eo am-pitàñe naho am-pandia t’Ionatane, le nañorike aze i mpinday fikala’ey; vaho nikorovoke aolo’ Ionatane iereo; le namono am-boho’e eo i mpinday fikala’ey.
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armour-bearer did strike [them] after him.
14 Va’e roapolo ty zinama’ Ionatane naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey amy valoha’e zay, an-tampan-tonda mete ho folahe’ ty katràka roe an-dasarý.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
15 Inay ty fihondrahondràñe an-tobe ao naho an-kivoke ey, naho am’ ondaty iabio; i mpirai-liay naho o mpijoio songa nititititike vaho nanginikinike i taney; aa le nionjo ho firevendreveñañe aman’ Añahare.
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
16 Tinalake’ o mpijilo’ i Saole e Gibeate-Beniamineo; le hehe te nitranak’ añe i valobohòkey nifanjevoñe avao.
And the watchmen of Saul saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
17 Le hoe t’i Saole am’ondaty nirekets’ ama’eo: Volilio henaneo, haharendreke te ia ty nienga antika. Aa ie namolily, inao tsy eo t’Ionatane naho i mpinday fikala’ey.
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found.
18 Aa le hoe t’i Saole amy Akià: Endeso mb’etoa ty vatam-pañinan’ Añahare. Amy te tamo ana’ Israeleo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey henane zay.
And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
19 Ie amy zao, naho nisaontsy amy mpisoroñey t’i Saole le nitolom-pivalitaboak’ an-tobe’e ao avao o nte-Pilistio vaho niindra; le nanao ty hoe amy mpisoroñey t’i Saole. Ahankaño o fità’oo.
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
20 Nifanontoñe eo rekets’ i valobohò’ey t’i Saole naho nionjom-ban-kotakotake mb’eo vaho nizoeñe te songa nifanjamañe am-pibara o mpirañetseo, nifamalitsikotake.
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.
21 Ie amy zao nitolike hirekets’ amo ana’ Israele mpiamy Saole naho Ionataneo o nte-Evre niharo amo nte-Pilisty nimpindre fionjo ama’e mb’an-tobe ao boak’ am-pariparitse añe taoloo.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Hambañe amy zay, o hene ondati’ Israele nietak’ am-bohibohi’ i Efraimeo; ie nahajanjiñe te nivoratsake mb’eo o nte-Pilistio, le nihoridà’ iareo fatratse am-pifandraparapahañe.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Aa le rinomba’ Iehovà t’Israele amy andro zay, vaho nivelatse pak’ e Bete-avene i hotakotakey.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
24 Toe ni-ampoheke ondati’ Israeleo amy andro zay; ty amy fetse natao’ i Saole am’ondatio an-titike ty hoe: Fàtse t’indaty mikama ze atao haneñe am-para’ te hariva, hañondrohako an-drafelahiko ty avake. Aa le tsy eo ty nitsopeke mahakama.
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 Hene nitandroake mb’amy alay o an-tane eio, ie an-tane eo ty tantele.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
26 Naho nizilik’ amy alay ondatio, hehe te nitsopetsopehen-tanteley, fa leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy nanao fitàñe am-palie amy fihembaña’ iareo i fetseiy.
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
27 Fe tsy napota’ Ionatane i fantok’ am-pàtse nanoen-drae’e am’ondatio; aa le natoho’e mb’eo ty kobay am-pità’e naho najo’e amy papi-tanteley, naho nanoe’e am-palie i fità’ey, vaho nahiratse o fihaino’eo.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
28 Aa le hoe ty asa’ ty raik’ am’ ondatio: Fa nafanton-drae’o am-pànta te: Fàtse ze ondaty mitsopeke mahakama anito; fe midazidazìtse ondatio.
And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,
29 Le hoe t’Ionatane: Nanolo-tsotry amo taneo ty raeko: Hehe fa mahiratse o masokoo, ie nitsopeke amo tanteleo,
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.
30 antsake te songa nidada am-pikamañe o raha kinopake nitendrek’ amo rafelahi’eoo ondatio. Tsy ho nimaro hao ty nizamañe amo nte-Pilistio?
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter amongst the Philistines would have been greater.
31 Aa le linafa’ iareo o nte-Pilistio boake Mikmase pak’ Aialone añe; fe toe nikolempa ondatio.
And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
32 Niambotrak’ amy kinopakey ondatio, nandrambe añondry naho añombe naho sarake, naho linenta’ iareo an-tane, vaho nikama’ ondatio ie mbe aman-dio.
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
33 Aa le natalily amy Saole, ty hoe: Inao! manao hakeo am’ Iehovà ondatio, mikama reke-dio. Le hoe re: Nandilatse nahareo: Amariño vato jabajaba amako aniany.
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
34 Le hoe t’i Saole: Tsitsiho ondatio le anò ty hoe: Songa mindesa vosy mb’ amako mb’etoa ondatio, sindre mindesa ty añondri’e ho lentaeñe etoa vaho ho kamae’e fa ko manao hakeo am’ Iehovà am-pikamàñ’ aze aman-dio. Aa le fonga ninday ty añombe’e mb’eo ondatio vaho nandenta aze eo.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.
35 Le namboatse kitrely am’Iehovà t’i Saole, toe ie ty kitrely valoha’e niranjie’e am’Iehovà.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
36 Le hoe t’i Saole: Antao hizotso mb’ amo nte-Pilistio mb’eo haleñe hikopake ampara’ te porea’ ty maraindray, vaho tsy hapon-tika leo raik’ am’ondati’eo. Le hoe iereo: Ano ze satri’ ty arofo’o. Fa hoe i mpisoroñey, antao hey hañarine aman’ Añahare.
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder amongst them till the day break, and let us not leave a man amongst them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither to God.
37 Aa le nihalaly fanoroañe aman’ Añahare t’i Saole: Hizotso mb’ amo nte-Pilistio hao iraho? Hatolo’o am-pità’ Israele hao? Fe tsy natoi’e amy andro zay.
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
38 Le hoe t’i Saole: Miharinea iaby ry mpiaolo’ ondatio; itsikaraho ty nametsahañe i hakeo anindroaniy.
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.
39 Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mpandrombake Israele, ndra t’ie am’ Ionatane ana-dahikoy, le toe havetrake. Fe leo raik’ am’ ondaty iabio tsy nanoiñe.
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
40 Aa le hoe re amy Israele iaby: Añ’ila’e nahareo, vaho añ’ ila’e atoy iraho naho Ionatane anakoy. Le hoe ondatio amy Saole: Ano ze atao’o ho soa.
And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
41 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Taroño ty hato. Jinoboñe an-kitsapak’ amy zao t’Ionatane naho i Saole; le nivotsotse i màroy.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.
42 Aa hoe t’i Saole: Ano an-tsapake ka, izaho naho Ionatane anako. Nivoa t’Ionatane.
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
43 Aa hoe t’i Saole am’ Ionatane: Atalilio ahiko o nanoe’oo. Le natalili’ Ionatane ama’e ty hoe: Toe nitsopeke tantele tsy ampe añ’ ilan-kobaiko an-tañako; intoy, izaho ty hikenkañe.
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.
44 Le hoe t’i Saole: Ehe hanoan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse izay naho tsy hihomake irehe Ionatane.
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
45 Fe hoe ondatio amy Saole: Havetrake hao t’Ionatane, ie nañeneke fandrombahañe jabajaba e Israele atoa? Lavits’ aze izay; Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, leo raik’ amo maròy añ’ambone’eo tsy hihintsañe an-tane; amy t’ie nitoloñe an’ Andrianañahare anindroany. Aa le navotso’ ondatireo t’Ionatane tsy hihomake,
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 le nienga tsy nañorike o nte-Pilistio ka t’i Saole; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo o nte-Pilistio.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
47 Aa le rinambe i Saole ty fifeheañe Israele, naho nialia’e iaby mb’atia mb’eroa o rafelahi’eo; e Moabe naho amo ana’ i Amoneo, Edome naho amo mpanjaka’ i Tsobao, vaho amo nte-Pilistio; aa ndra aia ty nitoliha’e le nampisotrie’e.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 Nanontoñe lahialen-dre le zinevo’e o nte Amalekeo vaho navotso’e am-pità’ o mpikopake iareoo t’Israele.
And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
49 Zao o ana-dahi’ i Saoleo, Ionatane, naho Isvý vaho i Malki-soà; le ty añara’ ty anak’ ampela’e roe: i Merabe ty zoke’e, naho Mikale ty zai’e;
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
50 naho ty tahinan-tañanjomba’ i Saole: i Akinoame, ana’ i Akimàtse; ty tahina’ i mpifeleke i valobohò’eiy: i Abnere, ana’ i Nere, anan-drahalahin-drae’ i Saole.
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 I Kise ty rae’i Saole; vaho ana’ i Abiele t’i Nere rae’ i Abnere.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
52 Nitolom-pialy amo nte-Pilistio nainai’e t’i Saole amo hene andro’eo, aa ndra mb’ia nahaisake fanalolahy t’i Saole, le rinambe’e ho ama’e.
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
