1 Samoela 22
1 Aa le nienga t’i Davide, niherereake mb’an-dakato’ i Adolame ao, le ie jinanji’ o longo’eo naho i anjomban-drae’e iabiy le nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo.
David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
2 Ze hene niampoheke, naho o mpisongoo, naho o nafaitse an-trokeo ro nifanontoñe ama’e ao, le nifehè’e; va’e efajato o nirekets’ ama’eo.
Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
3 Niakatse boak’ao t’i Davide nimb’e Mitspè e Moabe mb’eo, le nanao ty hoe amy mpanjaka’ i Moabey. Ehe apoho holy mb’ etoa hey ty raeko naho i reneko ho ama’o ampara’ te fantako ty hanoen’ Añahare amako.
Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
4 Aa le nasese’e añatrefa’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey iereo vaho nimoneñe ama’e ao amy ze andro iaby naha am-pipalirañ’ ao t’i Davide.
[The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
5 Le hoe ty Gade, mpitoky, amy Davide, ko mipalitse an-kijoly ao; iengao le akia mb’an-tane’ Iehodà añe. Aa le nienga t’i Davide naho nimoak’ amy ala’ i Keretey ao.
One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
6 Jinanji’ i Saole te nioniñe t’i Davide rekets’ o mpiama’eo; niambesatse e Gibà t’i Saole ambane’ ty hatae e Ramà ao, am-pità’e ty lefo’e, vaho nijohanjohañe añariseho aze iaby o mpitoro’eo;
One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
7 le hoe t’i Saole amo mpitoro’e mijohañe ama’eo, Mijanjiña ry nte-Beniamineo, Tinolo’ i ana’ Iisaiiy teteke naho tanem-bahe iaby hao nahareo; songa hanoe’e mpifelek’ arivo naho mpifehe-zato hao?
He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
8 kanao sindre mikilily ahy, leo raike tsy nampiboak’ amako te nifañina amy ana’ Iisaiy i anakoy, le tsy eo ty manahelo ahy hitalilia’e te nitroboe’ i anakoy i mpitorokoy, hamandroña’e ahiko, manahake androany?
Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
9 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Doege nte Edome, i natao ambone’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleoy: Nitreako te nimb’e Nobe mb’e Akimelek’ ana’ i Ahitobe mb’eo ty ana’ Iisay.
Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
10 Ie nañontane am’ Iehovà ho aze naho nivatie’e vaho natolo’e aze ty fibara’ i Goliate nte-Pilistiy.
Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
11 Aa le nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay t’i Akimeleke mpisoroñe ana’ i Ahitobe naho i anjomban-drae’e iabiy, o mpisoroñe e Nobeo; le fonga niheo mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
12 Le hoe t’i Saole: Mijanjiña henaneo ry ana’ i Ahitobe; le hoe ty natoi’e, Intoy iraho talèko.
Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
13 Le hoe t’i Saole ama’e: Akore ty nikinià’ areo ahiko, ihe naho i ana’ Isaìy, kanao tinolo’o mofo naho fibara vaho nañontane aman’ Añahare ho aze, soa t’ie hitroatse amako, hiampira’e, manahake androany.
Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
14 Tinoi’ i Akimeleke i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Aa vaho ia amo mpitoro’oo ty atokisañe mandikoatse i Davide, vinanto’ i mpanjakay, i mañaoñe o fandilia’o iabio naho iasiañe añ’anjomba’o ao?
Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
15 Androany hao ty nañontaneako aman’Añahare ho aze? mitotse ahy izay; ehe te tsy asarà’ i mpanjakay ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy mpitoro’ey naho aman’ anjomban-droaeko; fa ke maro he tsy ampe tsy apota’ o mpitoro’oo o raha zao.
Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
16 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tsy mete tsy havetrake irehe Akimeleke rekets’ o anjomban-drae’o iabio.
The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
17 Le hoe i mpanjakay amo mpigaritse nijohanjohañe ama’e eo iabio; Mitoliha, fonga zamano o mpisoro’ Iehovào; amy te mpiamy Davide ka ty fità’ iareo naho napota’ iareo t’ie nibioñe fa tsy naboa’ iareo amako. Fe tsy nimete nañity fitàñe hiambotrake amo mpisoro’ Iehovào o mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio.
Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
18 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Doege: Mitoliha, ambotraho o mpisoroñeo. Aa le nitolike t’i Doege nte Edome, niambotrak’ amo mpisoroñeo vaho zinama’e amy àndroy t’indaty valompolo-lim’ amby mpisikiñe i kitambe lèniy.
Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
19 Le fonga binaibai’e an-dela-pibara ty Nobe, i rova’ i mpisoroñe reiy, lahilahy naho ampela, ajaja naho anak’ ajaja minono, añombe naho borìke vaho añondry an-dela-pibara.
He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
20 Nipoliotse añe ty raik’ amo ana’ i Akimelek’ ana’ i Ahitobeo, Abiatare ty tahina’e, nitriban-day mb’amy Davide mb’eo.
But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
21 Natalili’ i Abiatare amy Davide te zinama’ i Saole o mpisoro’ Iehovào.
He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
22 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abiatare, Napotako amy andro zay, kanao tao t’i Doege nte Edome le tsy mete tsy hitalily amy Saole; izaho ty nahavilasy o hene ondatin’ anjomban-drae’oo.
Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
23 Mimoneña amako, le ko hembañe fa i mipay ty fiaikoy ro mipay ty azo ka; le am-pitsolohan-drehe te amako.
You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
