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.
Now it happened one day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' outpost, that is on the other side yonder. But unto his father he told nothing.
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 tarried in the lower part of Gib'ah under the pomegranate tree which is by Migron: and the people that were with him were 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 Achiyah, the son of Achitub, the brother of I-chabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of 'Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, wore the 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 between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the outpost of the Philistines, there was a sharp point of rock on the one side, and a sharp point of rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5 Nionjoñ’ añ’ila’e avaratse tandrife i Mikmase ty tevañe raike naho atimo tandrife i Geba ty ila’e.
The one point rose up abruptly northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Geba'.
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 armor, Come, and let us go over unto the outpost of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by means of many or by means of 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 armor-bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
8 Aa le hoe t’Ionatane, Inao! hitsake mb’ am’ ondaty reo tika, hiatreatre iareo.
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will show ourselves unto 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 say thus unto us, Stand still until we come to you: then will we remain standing in our places, and will not go up unto 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 say thus, Come up unto us: then will we go up; for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand; and this shall be unto us the sign.
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 when both of them showed themselves unto the outpost of the Philistines, the Philistines said, Behold, Hebrews are coming forth out of the holes wherein they have 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 the outpost addressed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will let you know something. Then said Jonathan unto his armor-bearer, Come up after me; for the Lord hath given them up into the hand 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 then ascended upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer was killing 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 that first defeat, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer caused, was about twenty men, within about the half of a field, which a yoke of oxen might plough.
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 arose a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the outposts, and the free-booters, they also were terrified, and the earth quaked; and it became a very great terror.
16 Tinalake’ o mpijilo’ i Saole e Gibeate-Beniamineo; le hehe te nitranak’ añe i valobohòkey nifanjevoñe avao.
And the watchers of Saul in Gib'ah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude became scattered, and ran hither and thither.
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.
Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone away from us. And they mustered, and, behold, there was neither Jonathan nor his armor-bearer.
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 unto Achiyah, Bring hither the ark of God; for the ark of God was on that day with the children of 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 happened, while Saul was speaking unto the priest, that the confusion which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased more and more: And Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
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 and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and, behold, the sword of every man was against his fellow, the disorder being very great.
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 Hebrews that were with the Philistines as before that time, those namely who had gone up with them, were in the camp round about; but these also resolved to be with the Israelites that 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 men of Israel who had hidden themselves on the mountain of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled; and they also followed hard after them in the battle.
23 Aa le rinomba’ Iehovà t’Israele amy andro zay, vaho nivelatse pak’ e Bete-avene i hotakotakey.
So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
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 the men of Israel were hard urged that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food until the evening, until I have been avenged on my enemies. And the whole people tasted thus no food.
25 Hene nitandroake mb’amy alay o an-tane eio, ie an-tane eo ty tantele.
And [the men of] all the land came to a forest; and there was honey upon the surface of the field.
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 when the people were come into the forest, behold, there was a stream of honey; but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
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.
But Jonathan had not heard his father charging the people with the oath; he therefore put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and carried his hand again to his mouth; and his eyes became clear.
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.
Then commenced one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food this day; though the people were faint.
29 Le hoe t’Ionatane: Nanolo-tsotry amo taneo ty raeko: Hehe fa mahiratse o masokoo, ie nitsopeke amo tanteleo,
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes become clear, because 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?
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely this day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not have been now a greater defeat among the Philistines?
31 Aa le linafa’ iareo o nte-Pilistio boake Mikmase pak’ Aialone añe; fe toe nikolempa ondatio.
And they smote on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Ayalon; and the people were very faint.
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 flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and young steers, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat upon 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 they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord, in eating upon the blood. And he [then] said, Ye have acted treacherously: roll [hither] unto me this day a great stone.
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 among the people, and say unto them, Bring near unto me every man his ox, and every man his lamb, and slaughter here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating by the blood. And all the people brought near every man his ox by his hand that night, and slaughtered [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 unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto 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 by night, and spoil them until the morning-light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good in thy eyes. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto 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 asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not on that day.
38 Le hoe t’i Saole: Miharinea iaby ry mpiaolo’ ondatio; itsikaraho ty nametsahañe i hakeo anindroaniy.
And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see through what this sin hath happened 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 liveth, who saveth Israel, that if it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But no one answered him among 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.
Then said he unto all Israel, Ye shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
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 unto the Lord, God of Israel, O, show forth the perfect truth. And Jonathan and Saul were seized; but the people came forth [free].
42 Aa hoe t’i Saole: Ano an-tsapake ka, izaho naho Ionatane anako. Nivoa t’Ionatane.
And Saul said, Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was seized.
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.
Then said Saul to Jonathan, Do tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste with the end of the staff that was in my hand a little honey: lo, I am willing to die.
44 Le hoe t’i Saole: Ehe hanoan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse izay naho tsy hihomake irehe Ionatane.
And Saul said, May God do thus now, and in future also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
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 unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This shall not be: as the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of his head to the ground; for with God hath he wrought this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, 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.
Then went Saul up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own 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.
So Saul strengthened himself in the government over Israel; and he fought on every side against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the children of 'Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he caused terror.
48 Nanontoñe lahialen-dre le zinevo’e o nte Amalekeo vaho navotso’e am-pità’ o mpikopake iareoo t’Israele.
And he gathered an army, and he smote the 'Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those that spoiled them.
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;
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Yishvi, and Malkishua': and the names of his two daughters—the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
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 Saul's wife was Achino'am, the daughter of Achima'az: and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
51 I Kise ty rae’i Saole; vaho ana’ i Abiele t’i Nere rae’ i Abnere.
And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were each the 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 against the Philistines was violent all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto himself.
