1 Samoela 24
1 Aa ie nimpoly amy nañorihañe o nte-Pilistioy t’i Saole le natalily aze ty hoe: Inao! am-patrambey En-Gedy añe t’i Davide.
When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
2 Rinambe’ i Saole amy zao t’indaty telo arivo jinoboñe amy Israele, hipay i Davide am-batovatoe’ o ose-lìo.
Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
3 Nivotrak’ an-dian’ añondry ao re le teo ty lakato añolon-dalañe ey, nizilik’ ao t’i Saole hanaroñe o fandia’eo ie am-po’ ao t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo.
And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
4 Le hoe o mpiamy Davideo ama’e: Intoy ty andro nafè’ Iehovà ama’o ty hoe: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’o i rafelahi’oy, hanoe’o ama’e ze satrie’o. Aa le niongake t’i Davide le tinampa’e am-pianjiñañe ty riran-tsarimbo’e.
And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
5 Ie amy zao, namofoke i Davide ty arofo’e t’ie nanampake i riran-tsarimbo’ i Saoleiy.
And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
6 Le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Sondo’e am’Iehovà, te hanoeko amy talèkoy o raha zao, amy najado’ Iehovày, t’ie hañity tañañe amy noriza’ Iehovày.
And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
7 Aa le sineba’ i Davide amy entañe zay ondati’eo, tsy nenga’e hiambotrak’ amy Saole. Niavotse amy lakatoy amy zao t’i Saole nimb’ amy lia’ey mb’eo.
So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
8 Añe izay, le niongake ka t’i Davide niakatse i lakatoy naho nikoihe’e amy Saole ty hoe: Ry talèko mpanjaka. Ie nitolike t’i Saole hioniñe mañamboho, le nababo’ i Davide mb’an-tane ty lahara’e vaho nidrakadrakake.
Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
9 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Saole: Aa vaho akore te haoñe’o o enta’ ondatio manao ty hoe: Inao! mipay hijoy azo t’i Davide?
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
10 Heheke! isam-pihaino’o henaneke te natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako amy lakatoy irehe anindroany; eo ty nañosik’ ahy hañoho-doza ama’o, f’ie niferenaiña’ o masokoo vaho hoe iraho: Tsy hahitiko mb’ amy talèkoy ty tañako; amy t’ie noriza’ Iehovà.
Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
11 Tovo’e ry aba, hehe ty riran-tsarimbo’o an-tañako toy; amy nanampahako o sarimbo’ooy, fe tsy vinonoko; arendreho naho mahaoniña te tsy an-karatiañe ndra fiolàñe o tañakoo vaho tsy nandilatse ama’o ndra te voñone’o ty fiaiko hitavañe aze.
Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
12 Iehovà ty hizaka añivo’o naho izaho, le Iehovà ty hamale fate ahy ama’o; fa tsy ho ama’o ka ty tañako.
The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
13 Fa hoe ty razan-tsaontsi’ o taoloo: Boak’ amo lo-tserekeo ty iboaha’ ty halò-tserehañe; fe tsy ho ama’o ty tañako.
According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
14 Hañoridañ’ ia ty niakara’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley? ty amboa mate, he ty pia.
After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
15 Iehovà arè ty hizaka, hinday tsara añivoko naho ihe, hivazoho, hitaroñe ahy, hamotsora’e am-pità’o.
The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
16 Ie amy zao, naho fa nagado’ i Davide i lañona’e amy Saoley, le hoe t’i Saole: Feo’o hao zao ry anako Davide? Nipoña-peo amy zao t’i Saole, nirovetse.
Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
17 Le hoe re amy Davide: Vantañe te amako irehe; soa ty nanoa’o ahy vaho raty ty nanoako azo;
And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
18 vaho nitalilie’o anindroany ty nanoa’o ahy, te natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’o, le tsy zinevo’o.
And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
19 Aa naho tendrek’ am’ ondaty i rafelahi’ey, henga’e hienga hao? Ee t’ie ho tambeza’ Iehovà amy hasoa nanoe’o amako anindroaniy.
For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
20 Aa inao, apotako t’ie ho mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe am-pità’o ty fifeheañe Israele.
For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
21 Mifañinà amako arè, amy Iehovà, te tsy haitoa’o o tiriko manonjohy ahio vaho tsy ho mongore’o añ’anjomban-draeko ty añarako.
Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
22 Le nifanta amy Saole t’i Davide vaho nimpoly t’i Saole; fe nionjomb’ amy fipalirañe fatratsey t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
