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 spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to kill David.
2 Le natalili’ Ionatane amy Davide ty hoe: Mipay hamono azo ty raeko; aa ehe mitaoa te maraindray le mipalira añetake,
And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill you: take heed to yourself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide yourself, and dwell in secret.
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 forth, and stand near my father in the field where you shall be, and I will speak concerning you to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell you.
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 spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against your servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds [are] very good.
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?
And he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
6 Hinao’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ Ionatane; le nifanta ami’ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà tsy havetrake re.
And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
7 Kinoi’ Ionatane amy zao t’i Davide le nitalilia’e; vaho nendese’ Ionatane añatrefa’ i Saole eo manahake te taolo.
And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
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 again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from 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 God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
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 sought to strike David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
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.
And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, to-morrow you shall be slain.
12 Aa le nazotso’ i Mikale ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Davide vaho nienga, le niherereak’ añe.
So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
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.
And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
14 Aa ie nañitrifa’ i Saole t’i Davide, le hoe t’i Mikale, Siloke re.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
15 Le nañitrike indraike t’i Saole handrèndreke i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Aseseo amako am-pandrea’e hamonoako aze.
And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him.
16 Ie nimoak’ ao i mpihitrike rey, hehe te saren-draha ty am-pandreañe ao vaho fikalam-bolon-ose ty natao loha’e.
And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his 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 Melchol, Why have you thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.
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 fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and lived in Navath in Rama.
19 Natalily amy Saole ty hoe: Inao! e Naiote e Ramà ao t’i Davide.
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
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 messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
21 Ie natalily amy Saole, le nañirake ty ila’e fe mbe nitoky avao. Nañitrike fañintelo’e vaho nitoky ka.
And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
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.
And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
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 thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
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 clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
