1 Samoela 30
1 Ie pok’e Tsiklage t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo te herone le nizoe’e te tiname o nte Amalekeo i Atimoy naho i Tsiklage, toe rinotsa’ iareo ty Tsiklage vaho finorototo’e añ’afo.
And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and struck Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.
2 Fonga rinambe’ iereo o ampela nizoeñeo, ty tora’e pak’ami’ ty bey; tsy vinono’ iareo fa nendese’ iareo amy lia’ iareoy.
And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they killed neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.
3 Aa ie pok’ an-drova’e ao t’i Davide naho ondati’eo, hehe t’ie tineno’ ty afo, le fa hene nasese an-drohy o vali’eo naho o ana-dahi’eo vaho o anak’ ampela’eo.
And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
4 Nampipoñake ty rovetse amy zao t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo, ampara’ te nidrifi’ i harovetsey ty fiai’e.
And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
5 Tinavañe am-pandrohizañe añe ty vali’ i Davide roe, i Akinoame nte Iezreele naho i Abigale nte Karmele, nivali’ i Nabaley.
And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Niampoheke t’i Davide kanao ho nametsa-bato ama’e ondatio ty amy hafain’ arofo’ iareo amo ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’eo, fe nañosi-batañe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e t’i Davide.
And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abiatare mpisoroñe, Ehe, endeso atoy i kitambey. Le nendese’ i Abiatare mb’amy Davide mb’eo i kitambey.
And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
8 Nañontane ty hoe am’ Iehovà t’i Davide: Ho horidañeko hao i mpirai-lia zay, hiambotrahako? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Horidaño fa tsi-mete tsy ho tra’o, vaho tsi-mahay tsy ho haha’o iaby.
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue [the captives].
9 Aa le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ indaty enen-jato mpiama’e rey, naho nimb’an-torahañe Besore mb’eo vaho nitofa eo ty ila’e.
So David went, he an the six hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.
10 Fe nañoridam-b’eo t’i Davide reketse ty lahilahy efa-jato; le nidoñe eo ty roan-jato amy t’ie loho nidazidazìtse tsy nahafitsake i torahañe Besorey.
And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.
11 Tendrek’ am’ iereo an-kivoke ey t’i nte-Mitsraime, le nasese amy Davide naho nanjotsoañe mofo hikama’e naho rano hinoma’e
And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.
12 vaho nanjotsoa’ iareo garaton-tsakoa naho valoboke angaroza’e maike roe; aa ie nikama, nimpoly ama’e ty fiai’e, fa telo andro, telo haleñe re tsy nikama mofo ndra ninon-drano.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.
13 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: An’ia irehe? vaho boak’ aia? Le hoe re: Ajalahy nte-Mitsraime iraho, mpitoro’ ty nte-Amaleke, le nado’ i talèkoy amy t’ie natindry telo andro.
And David said to him, Whose are you? and whence are you? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.
14 Nitamea’ay i Atimo’ o nte-Kereteoy, naho amy fanaña’ Iehoday naho amy Atimo’ i Kalebe vaho finorototo’ay añ’ afo ty Tsiklage.
And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.
15 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Mete hinday ahy mb’amy lia-raike zay v’iheo? Le hoe re: Mifantà amako aman’ Añahare te tsy hañohofa’o loza, ndra hanolotse ahy am-pitàn-talèko, le ampanjotsoeko mb’ amy mpirai-liay mb’eo.
And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.
16 Aa ie nampizotsoe’e mb’eo heheke t’ie niparaitake mb’ eo mb’eo an-tane ey, nifànjotse naho nitohoke an-tsabadidake, ty amy fikopaham-bey nitavane’ iereo an-tane’ o nte-Pilistioy, naho an-tane Iehoday.
So be brought him down there, and behold, they [were] scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by [reason of] all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
17 Linafa’ i Davide amy palipalitsieñey pak’ami’ty hariva’ i loak’ àndroy iereo; tsy teo ty nipoliotse am’ iereo naho tsy ty ajalahy efa-jato nijoñe an-drameva vaho nivoratsak’ añe.
And David came upon them, and struck them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.
18 Rinomba’ i Davide o nipaoha’ o nte-Amalekeo iabio; vaho hinaha’ i Davide i vali’e roe rey.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
19 Tsy eo ty nipok’ ama’e, ndra ty kede ndra ty bey, ndra ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela; ndra vara ndra inoñ’ inoñe nitavaneñe am’ iereo; niazo’ i Davide iaby.
And nothing was lacking to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
20 Hene nendese’ i Davide o mpirai-lia naho mpiharo-trokeo, le niroahe’ iareo aolo o añombe ila’eo, le hoe ty saontsy: Fikopaha’ i Davide.
And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These [are] the spoils of David.
21 Nivotrak’ amy lahilahy roan-jato nimamake tsy nahafañorike i Davide rey t’i Davide, i nampitofàñe an-toraha’ i Besore rey; nionjomb’ amy Davide mb’eo iereo hifanalaka ama’e, naho hifañaoñe am’ ondaty nindre ama’eo; le ie nifanotok’ am’ondatio t’i Davide le nañontanea’e.
And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.
22 Le hoe ty enta’ ondaty tsivokatse naho rati-tserek’ amo mpiamy Davideo: Kanao tsy nindre aman-tika, tsy handiva’ay ndra kede amo vara kinopake rinomba’aio, naho tsy ty vali’ ondaty naho o keleia’eo, hiaoloa’ iereo mb’eo.
Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.
23 Le hoe t’i Davide, Ko manao zao ry longoko, amo nanolora’ Iehovà antikañeo, ie nañaro antikañe, vaho nanolotse i lia-raike naname antikañey am-pitàn-tika.
And David said, You shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against u.
24 Ia ty hañaoñe anahareo amo raha zao? Fa ho mira ami’ty anjara’ i nizotso mb’añ’aly mb’eoy ty anjara’ i nitambatse amy kilankañeiy; hifanjara mira iereo.
And who will listen to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
25 Izay ty ie mifototse amy andro zay le nanoe’e fañè naho fepètse e Israele ao ampara’ te henane.
And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.
26 Aa ie pok’e Tsiklage ao t’i Davide, nampañitrife’e amo roandria’ Iehodao naho amo rañe’eo ty ila’ i varay ami’ty hoe: Ravoravo ho anahareo ami’ty nikopaheñe amo rafelahi’ Iehovào;
And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold [some] of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
27 naho amo am-Beteleo naho o an-dRamote Atimoo naho o am-Iatireo
to those in Baethsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.
28 naho o an’Aroereo naho o an-tSipmoteo naho o an’Estemoao
And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie,
29 naho o an-dRakaleo naho o an-drova’ o nte-Ieakmeeleo naho o androva’ o nte-Kaineoo
and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath, and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;
30 naho o an-Kormao naho o an-Korasaneo naho o nte-Atakeo
and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,
31 naho o nte-Kebroneo vaho o an-kene toetse fomba’ i Davide naho ondati’eo.
and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.
