2 Samoela 21
1 Ie amy zao, san-kerè telo taoñe ty nifanonjohy tañ’ andro’ i Davide, le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Davide: le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà: I Saole naho i anjomba’e aman-dioy, ie nanjamañe o nte-Giboneo.
And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 Kinanji’ i mpanjakay amy zao o nte-Giboneo, le hoe re tam’ iereo—toe tsy ana’ Israele o nte-Giboneo fa sehanga’ o nte-Amoreo; toe nifanta am’ iereo o ana’ Israeleo, fe nipay hanjamañe iereo t’i Saole amy fahimbaña’e amo ana’ Israeleo naho Iehodaoy—
And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
3 le hoe t’i Davide amo nte-Giboneo: Ino ty hanoeko ho anahareo? naho Ino ty hijebañako, hitatà’ areo ty lova’ Iehovà?
indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
4 le hoe o nte-Giboneo tama’e: Tsy iozàm-bolafoty ndra volamena ty añivo’ay naho i Saole, ndra i anjomba’ey; le tsy mipay ty hamonoañe ndra iaia amo ana’ Israeleo zahay. Aa le hoe re: Saontsio’ areo fa hanoeko.
And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo i mpanjakay: Indaty ho namongotse anay naho nikinia raty anay t’ie ho fongoreñe tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e an-tane Israeley,
And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel—
6 le ee te hasese ama’ay ty ana-dahi’e fito haradorado’ay am’ Iehovà e Gibà’ i Saole ao, i jinobo’ Iehovày. Haseseko iereo, hoe i mpanjakay.
let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
7 Fe napo’ i mpanjakay t’i Mefibosete, ana’ Ionatane, ana’i Saole, ty amy fañina nifanoa’ iareo am’ Iehovày; i nanoe’ i Davide naho Ionatane ana’ i Saoley.
and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
8 Rinambe’ i mpanjakay ty ana-dahy roe’ i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, ze nasama’e amy Saole, i Armoný naho i Mefibosete naho ty ana-dahi’ i Mikale lime, anak’ ampela’ i Saole, nasama’e amy Adriele, ana’ i Bartsilaý nte-Mekolà;
and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
9 le nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Giboneo naho naradorado’ iareo amy vohitsey añatrefa’ Iehovà vaho nitrao-pihotrake i fito rey, an-tsam-pitatahañe ty namonoañe iareo, amo andro valoha’eo, am-pamotoram-pitataham-bare hordea.
and gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
10 Nandrambe lamban-gony t’i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, vaho nalafi’e amy vatoy boak’ am-pifotora’ i fitatahañey am-para’ te nidoañan’ orañe boak’ andikerañey; le tsy napo’e hipetak’ am’ iereo o voron-tiokeo naho handro, ndra o bibin-kivokeo naho haleñe.
And Rizpah daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
11 Natalily amy Davide ty nanoe’ i Ritspà’ anak’ ampela’ i Aià, sakeza’ i Saole.
And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has done,
12 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Davide nangalake o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo amo nte-Iabses-Giladeo, o nikizoe’ iereo boak’ an-kiririsa’ i Bete-saneo, o nampiradoradoe’ o nte-Pilistio tañ’ andro nanjevoa’ o nte-Pilistio i Saole e Gilboao;
and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
13 le nendese’e boak’ añe o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo; vaho natonto’ iareo o taola’ i naradorado reio.
and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
14 Nalente’ iareo an-tane’ i Beniamine e Zelà, an-kibori’ i Kise rae’e o taola’ i Saole naho Ionataneo; le nanoeñe iaby ze nandilia’ i mpanjakay. Ie heneke, le nihalalieñe aman’ Añahare i taney.
and bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
15 Nialy amy Israele indraike o nte-Pilistio; le nizotso mb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ o mpitoro’eo, nifandraparapak’ amo nte-Pilistio; le niha-dazidazìtse t’i Davide.
And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
16 Teo amy zao t’Isbibenobe raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy abo mpinday lefoñe nilanja telonjato sekelen-torisikeio, nisikiñe fikalañe vao, le nimanea’e zevo t’i Davide.
and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking David,
17 Fe nañolotse aze t’i Abisay ana’ i Tseroià le linafa’e i nte-Pilistiy vaho vinono’e. Aa le namantok’ amy Davide ondati’eo, ty hoe: Tsy hitraok’ ama’ay an-kotakotake ka irehe, tsy mone hakipe’o ty failo’ Israele.
and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Ie heneke zay, le poake indraik ty aly amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe; zinevo’ i Sibekaý nte-Kosà t’i Safe, raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy aboio.
And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
19 Ie nifañotakotak’ amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe indraike, le zinevo’ i Elkanane nte-Betlekheme t’i Goliate nte-Gitý, nihambañe ami’ty vatrìtra i taran-defo’ey.
And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
20 Ie añe, nifandrapak’ añ’aly indraike e Gate ao; teo ty fanalolahy nijoalajoala, songa aman-drambo’e eneñe o fità’eo naho eneñe ka o rambom-pandia’eo, roapolo-efats’ amby ty fitontoña’ iareo; nisamahem-panalolahy abo ka.
And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
21 Ie nikizake Israele, le linafa’ Ionatane ana’ i Simea; rahalahi’ i Davide.
and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
22 Songa nisamahe’ i fanalolahy abo nte-Gatey i efatse rey, nikorovok’ am-pità’ i Davide naho am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo.
these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
