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 on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armour, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell 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
Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who 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.
including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know 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.
Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag 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 crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of 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.
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armour, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for there is no restraint on the LORD 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.
His armour bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
8 Aa le hoe t’Ionatane, Inao! hitsake mb’ am’ ondaty reo tika, hiatreatre iareo.
Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to 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 this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to 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 this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the 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.
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes 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.
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armour bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them 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.
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armour bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour bearer killed 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.
That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armour bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
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.
There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and amongst all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
16 Tinalake’ o mpijilo’ i Saole e Gibeate-Beniamineo; le hehe te nitranak’ añe i valobohòkey nifanjevoñe avao.
The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
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 Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armour bearer were not there.
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.
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
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.
While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your 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.
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in 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.
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned 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.
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even 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 by 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.
The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
25 Hene nitandroake mb’amy alay o an-tane eio, ie an-tane eo ty tantele.
All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on 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.
When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, 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 didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
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 one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So 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 Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I 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 perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter amongst the Philistines.”
31 Aa le linafa’ iareo o nte-Pilistio boake Mikmase pak’ Aialone añe; fe toe nikolempa ondatio.
They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. 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 pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them 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.
Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
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.
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
35 Le namboatse kitrely am’Iehovà t’i Saole, toe ie ty kitrely valoha’e niranjie’e am’Iehovà.
Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he 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.
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder amongst them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here 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.
Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
38 Le hoe t’i Saole: Miharinea iaby ry mpiaolo’ ondatio; itsikaraho ty nametsahañe i hakeo anindroaniy.
Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
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 saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man amongst all the people who answered him.
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 he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
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.
Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
42 Aa hoe t’i Saole: Ano an-tsapake ka, izaho naho Ionatane anako. Nivoa t’Ionatane.
Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
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 Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
44 Le hoe t’i Saole: Ehe hanoan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse izay naho tsy hihomake irehe Ionatane.
Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall 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,
The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
46 le nienga tsy nañorike o nte-Pilistio ka t’i Saole; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo o nte-Pilistio.
Then Saul went 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.
Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
48 Nanontoñe lahialen-dre le zinevo’e o nte Amalekeo vaho navotso’e am-pità’ o mpikopake iareoo t’Israele.
He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered 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, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn 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.
The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. 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.
Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was 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.
There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
