1 Samoela 19
1 Le nisaontsy am’ Ionatane ana’e naho amo mpitoro’e iabio t’i Saole, hañohofa’ iareo loza amy Davide; fe mpirañetse amy Davide t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole.
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
2 Le natalili’ Ionatane amy Davide ty hoe: Mipay hamono azo ty raeko; aa ehe mitaoa te maraindray le mipalira añetake,
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
3 fa hiakatse iraho hijohañe marine an-draeko an-kivoke ietaha’o, hitalily azo aman-draeko; le hataliliko azo ze treako.
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
4 Nisaontsy soa i Davide amy Saole rae’e t’Ionatane, ami’ty hoe: Ehe te tsy hanan-tahiñe amy Davide mpitoro’ey, i mpanjakay; amy t’ie tsy nandilatse ama’o, naho nisoa iaby ty fitoloña’e ama’o;
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
5 naho nado’e an-taña’e ao ty fiai’e t’ie nandafa i nte-Pilistiy, ie ninday fandreketam-bey ho a Israele t’Iehovà; nioni’o izay, vaho nirebeke; aa le manao akore t’ihe hanan-kakeo an-dio-maliñe, hamonoa’o tsy aman-tali’e t’i Davide?
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6 Hinao’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ Ionatane; le nifanta ami’ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà tsy havetrake re.
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7 Kinoi’ Ionatane amy zao t’i Davide le nitalilia’e; vaho nendese’ Ionatane añatrefa’ i Saole eo manahake te taolo.
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8 Nirehetse indraike ty aly; le niavotse mb’eo t’i Davide, nialy amo nte-Pilistio vaho ra’elahy i fizamanañey, kanao nandripàke aolo’eo.
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9 Nivotrak’ amy Saole amy zao ty fañahy raty boak’ amy Iehovà, ie niambesatse añ’ anjomba’e ao reketse lefoñe am-pità’e, naho nititik’ am-pità’e t’i Davide.
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10 Le nimanea’ i Saole tombo-defoñe t’i Davide hipiteha’e amy rindriñey, f’ie nipoliotse am-piatrefa’e le tinombo’ i lefoñey i rindriñey naho nibotiotse t’i Davide, nienga amy haleñey.
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11 Namantoke ìrake homb’ an-traño’ i Davide ao t’i Saole, hamono aze naho maraindray; fa nitalilia’ i Mikale vali’ i Davide ty hoe: Naho tsy mandrombak’ ain-drehe te anito haleñe le havetrake te maray.
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12 Aa le nazotso’ i Mikale ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Davide vaho nienga, le niherereak’ añe.
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13 Rinambe’i Mikale ty terafime naho nampandre’e am-pandreañe eo, le napo’e an-doha’e eo ty fikalam-bolon-ose vaho kinolopo’e lamba.
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14 Aa ie nañitrifa’ i Saole t’i Davide, le hoe t’i Mikale, Siloke re.
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15 Le nañitrike indraike t’i Saole handrèndreke i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Aseseo amako am-pandrea’e hamonoako aze.
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16 Ie nimoak’ ao i mpihitrike rey, hehe te saren-draha ty am-pandreañe ao vaho fikalam-bolon-ose ty natao loha’e.
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Mikale, Ino ty namañahia’o ahy, te nasinta’o i rafelahikoy, ie nimonazake mb’eo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Mikale amy Saole, Hoe re tamako, Apoho hiavotse iraho, tsy mone havetrako.
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18 Aa le nioratse ty lay t’i Davide naho nivotrak’ amy Samoele e Ramà añe; le hene natalili’e ama’e ty nanoa’ i Saole aze. Nañavelo mb’e Naiote re mindre amy Samoele vaho nimoneñe ao.
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19 Natalily amy Saole ty hoe: Inao! e Naiote e Ramà ao t’i Davide.
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Nañitrike mb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Saole; aa ie tendrek’ am’ iereo o mpitoky nitokio, naho nijohañe ho mpiaolo’ iareo t’i Samoele le nivotrak’ amo ira’ i Saoleo ty Arofon’ Añahare vaho nitoky ka.
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21 Ie natalily amy Saole, le nañirake ty ila’e fe mbe nitoky avao. Nañitrike fañintelo’e vaho nitoky ka.
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
22 Aa le nañavelo mb’e Ramà ka re naho nipok’ an-kadaha jabajaba’ i Sekò eo; vaho nañontane ami’ty hoe: Aia t’i Samoele naho i Davide? Le hoe ty raike: Inao, e Naiote e Ramà añe.
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Aa le nimb’e Naiote e Ramà re le nivotrak’ ama’e amy lia’ey ka i Arofon’ Añaharey vaho nitolom-pitoky am-para’ te pok’e Naiote e Ramà ao.
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Hinalo’e iaby o saro’eo vaho nitoky añatrefa’ i Samoele, le nàndre niboridañe ey avao re amy àndroy naho amy haleñey. Aa le hoe ty sinaontsy: Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
