1 Samoela 20
1 Nitriban-day boake Naiote e Ramà añe t’i Davide vaho nivotrak’ am’ Ionatane, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ze o nanoeko zao? Ino o hakeokoo? naho ino ty tahiko añatrefan-drae’o, ie mipay ty fiaiko?
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan: 'What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?'
2 Le hoe re tama’e: Sondo’e; tsy hihomake irehe; oniño te tsy manao ndra kede ndra bey ty raeko naho tsy aboa’e amako heike; aa vaho ino ty hampikafiran-draeko amako o raha zao? Tsy to izay.
And he said unto him: 'Far from it; thou shalt not die; behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.'
3 Mbore nititike t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Toe fohin-drae’o t’ie nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’o, le hoe ty atao’e, Ko ampahafohineñe Ionatane zao hera hihontoke; fe kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ty fiai’o le toe lika raike ty añivoko naho ty fikenkañañe.
And David swore moreover, and said: 'Thy father knoweth well that I have found favour in thine eyes; and he saith: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.'
4 Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide; Ino ty salalan-tro’o hanoeko ama’o?
Then said Jonathan unto David: 'What doth thy soul desire, that I should do it for thee?'
5 Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane: Inao te pea-bolañe ty hamaray, le tsy ho napoko ty hitoboke hitrao-pikama amy mpanjakay; aa le angao homb’eo iraho hietak’ an-kivok’ ao ampara’ te haleñe amy andro faha teloy.
And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
6 Aa naho mipay ahy ndra kede ty rae’o, le anò ty hoe: Nimane halaly amako t’i Davide ty hihitrifa’e mb’e Betlekheme rova’e; fa tondroke i soron-tsavereña’e boa-taoñey.
If thy father miss me at all, then say: David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 Aa naho manao ty hoe re: Soa izay. Le hanintsiñe ty mpitoro’o; f’ie viñetse, le fohino te ikinia’e raty.
If he say thus: It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.
8 Aa le isoho o mpitoro’oo; amy fañina’ Iehovà nanoe’ i mpitoro’oy ama’oy; f’ie aman-kakeo le vonò; fa ino ty hanesea’o ahy mb’aman-drae’o mb’eo?
Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?'
9 Le hoe t’Ionatane: Atòtse ama’o izay fa naho vata’e napotako te nikililien-draeko raty, tsy ho nampandrendreheko hao?
And Jonathan said: 'Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
10 Aa le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ionatane, Ia ty hitalily amako te nanoiñe azo an-keloke ty rae’o?
Then said David to Jonathan: 'Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?'
11 Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Antao homb’ an-kivoke ey. Le nimb’an-kivoke ey iereon-dro-roe.
And Jonathan said unto David: 'Come and let us go out into the field.' And they went out both of them into the field.
12 Aa hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: aolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Izaho hitsok’ an-draeko amo ora zao te maray, ndra herone, le inao, naho fañisohañe amy Davide ty ao, lehe tsy hahitriko ama’o, vaho hitalily azo,
And Jonathan said unto David: 'The LORD, the God of Israel — when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?
13 le ee te hanoe’ Iehovà am’ Ionatane naho mandikoatse; fa naho mahafale an-draeko ty mañoho-doza ama’o, le hitaliliako, hañirahako azo homb’eo, hañaveloa’o am-panintsiñañe; vaho hindre ama’o t’Iehovà manahake ty nindreza’e aman-draeko.
The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and the LORD be with thee, as He hath been with my father.
14 Aa naho mbe velon-draho tsy haboa’o amako hao ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà, tsy hihomahako?
And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not;
15 Le tsy hapitso’o an-trañoko nainai’e ty fañisoha’o; ndra te naitoa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’ i Davideo, fonga finao’e an-tane atoy.
but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.'
16 Aa le nifañina ami’ty anjomba’ i Davide t’Ionatane, t’ie ho paia’ Iehovà am-pità’ o rafelahi’ i Davideo.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David: 'The LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.'
17 Le nampifantà’ Ionatane indraike t’i Davide, ami’ty fikokoa’e; amy te nikokoa’e manahake ty nikokoa’e ty vata’e.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Le hoe t’Ionatane ama’e: Hiri-bolañe te maray: le ho paian-drehe; amy te ho kòake i fiambesa’oy.
And Jonathan said unto him: 'To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, thy seat will be empty.
19 Aa le mietaha soa irehe te herone, le miheova mb’amy fikafira’o amy androm-pitoloñañey le ey avao irehe marine ty vato’ i Ezele.
And in the third day thou shalt hide thyself well, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself in the day of work, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Hahiririko ty ana-pale telo añ’ila’e eo, hoe mañohatse fanolarañe.
And I will shoot three arrows to the side-ward, as though I shot at a mark.
21 Ie amy zao, hañitrifako ajalahy: Akia paiao o ana-paleo. Aa naho ataoko ty hoe: Ingo, añ’ila’o atoy o ana-paleo, rambeso vaho mb’etoa; le fañanintsiñe ty ho ama’o fa tsy joy, kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.
And, behold, I will send the lad: Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad: Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as the LORD liveth.
22 F’ie ataoko ty hoe i ajalahiy: Inge, mbe aolo’o añe o ana-paleo; le akia, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’eo.
But if I say thus unto the boy: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for the LORD hath sent thee away.
23 Aa i nisaontsien-tikañey, Inao! añivon-tikañe nainai’e t’Iehovà.
And as touching the matter which I and thou have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between me and thee for ever.'
24 Le nietak’ an-kivok’ ao t’i Davide; aa ie nipea-bolañe, niambesatse hikama i mpanjakay.
So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to the meal to eat.
25 Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ey i mpanjakay, manahake ty lili’e, amy fiambesatse mioza amy rindriñeiy; nijohañe t’Ionatane, vaho niambesatse añ’ila’ i Saole eo ty Abnere; fe nikòake ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side; but David's place was empty.
26 Tsy nisaontsy ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy andro zay t’i Saole, fa hoe ty natao’e: Va’e nifetsahan-draha; he t’ie maleotse; tsy malio.
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day; for he thought: 'Something hath befallen him, he is unclean; surely he is not clean.'
27 Ie amy loak’ andro manonjohy i pea-bolañeiy, i andro faharoey, naho nikoake ty fiambesa’ i Davide; le hoe t’i Saole am’ Ionatane ana’e: Akore te tsy nimb’ am-pikamàñe mb’etoa i ana’ Iisay, ndra omale ndra androany?
And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son: 'Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to the meal, neither yesterday, nor to-day?'
28 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole: Nihalalia’ i Davide t’ie hienga mb’e Betlekheme mb’eo;
And Jonathan answered Saul: 'David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem;
29 ami’ty hoe: Ehe, angao hiavotse iraho, fa misoroñe an-drova ao o longokoo vaho nañambara’ ty rahalahiko hiatreke; aa naho nahatendreke fañisohañe am-pihaino’o le adono hihitrike mb’eo handrendreke an-drolongoko. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ am-pandambaña’ i mpanjakay atoa re.
and he said: Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me; and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table.'
30 Nisolebotse am’ Ionatane ty haviñera’ i Saole, ami’ty hoe: Ty anan-drakemba-piola mengoke tia, tsy apotako hao te jinobo’o ho an-kasalara’o naho ho ami’ty fimeñaram-piboridañan-drene’o i ana’ Iisaiiy?
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him: 'Thou son of perverse rebellion, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31 Fa naho mbe veloñe ambone tane atoy i ana’ Iisaiiy, le tsy horizan-drehe, ndra ty fifehea’o. Aa le ahitrifo mb’ amako mb’etoa re, fa mañeva ho mate.
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he deserveth to die.'
32 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Saole rae’e: Aa vaho ino ty hañohofan-doza ama’e? Nanao inon-dre?
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?'
33 Aa le nahiriri’ i Saole ama’e i lefo’ey; vaho napota’ Ionatane te tampa-kevetse ty rae’e hanjevoñ’ i Davide.
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
34 Niavotse i fandambañañey t’Ionatane ampiforoforoañe, naho tsy nikama amy andro faharoe’ i volañeiy; ami’t’ie nirovetse i Davide vaho nisalaren-drae’e.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, and because his father had put him to shame.
35 Ie amy loak’ àndroy, le niavotse mb’ an-kivoke añe t’Ionatane reketse ty anak’ ajalahy amy namantaña’e i Davidey.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 Le hoe re amy ajalahiy: Akia, hitrifo an-day o ana-pale hahirirìkoo. Aa ie nilay i ajalahiy le nahirirì’e ty ana-pale hilosora’e amy ajalahiy.
And he said unto his lad: 'Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.' And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Ie nipok’an-toe’ i ana-pale nahirirì’ Ionataney i ajalahiy, le hoe ty koi’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy, Tsy ambali’o ey hao i ana-paley?
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said: 'Is not the arrow beyond thee?'
38 Le hoe ty fipaza’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy: Malisà irehe, masikà, ko mitoboke ey. Le natonto’ i ajalahiy o ana-paleo vaho nimb’ amy talè’ey mb’eo.
And Jonathan cried after the lad: 'Make speed, hasten, stay not.' And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Fe tsy napota’ i ajalahiy; Ionatane naho i Davide avao ty nahafohiñe.
But the lad knew not any thing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Natolo’ Ionatane amy ajalahiy o fialia’eo le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, endeso an-drova ao retoy.
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him: 'Go, carry them to the city.'
41 Ie añe i ajalahiy, le niongak’ an-toe’e atimo ao t’i Davide, naho nibabok’ an-dahara’e an-tane, niondreke intelo; naho nifañoroke iereo vaho nifampirovetse, i Davide ty nandikoatse.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 Le hoe t’Ionatane amy Davide: Akia am-panintsiñañe, amy nititihan-tika an-tahina’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ho añivon-tika roe t’Iehovà, naho añivo’ o tirikoo naho o tiri’oo nainai’e. Aa le nienga re nañavelo mb’eo vaho nimoak’ an-drova ao t’Ionatane.
And Jonathan said to David: 'Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying: The LORD shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever.' And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
