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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
2 Le natalili’ Ionatane amy Davide ty hoe: Mipay hamono azo ty raeko; aa ehe mitaoa te maraindray le mipalira añetake,
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden 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.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, 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;
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward 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 his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will 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.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not 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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
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.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled 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.
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
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.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
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.
Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Aa le nazotso’ i Mikale ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Davide vaho nienga, le niherereak’ añe.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, 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.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Aa ie nañitrifa’ i Saole t’i Davide, le hoe t’i Mikale, Siloke re.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
15 Le nañitrike indraike t’i Saole handrèndreke i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Aseseo amako am-pandrea’e hamonoako aze.
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in 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.
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' 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.
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I 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.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in the dwellings.
19 Natalily amy Saole ty hoe: Inao! e Naiote e Ramà ao t’i Davide.
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at 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 messengers to capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Ruach of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied.
21 Ie natalily amy Saole, le nañirake ty ila’e fe mbe nitoky avao. Nañitrike fañintelo’e vaho nitoky ka.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, 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 became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at 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.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Ruach of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings 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 stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
