2 Samoela 1
1 Ie fa vilasy t’i Saole naho fa nimpoly amy fanjamana’e o nte-Amalekeoy t’i Davide, naho fa nitoboke roe andro e Tsiklage t’i Davide,
And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag,
2 le pok’eo amy andro faha-teloy ty lahilahy boak’ an-tobe’ i Saole añe niriatse iaby o siki’eo, naho deboke ty añ’ambone’e; aa ie niheo mb’ amy Davide mb’eo, le nibabok’ an-tane niambane ama’e.
it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes torn, and earth upon his head. And so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground, and did obeisance.
3 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Boak’aia v’iheo? le hoe re ama’e, Nipoliotse boak’ an-tobe’ Israele ao.
And David said to him, From where did thou come? And he said to him, I escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Manao akore i rahay? Ehe talilio. Le hoe re, Nifandripak’ amy hotakotakey ondatio, naho maro t’indaty nihotrake vaho nivetrake; songa nihomake t’i Saole naho Ionatane ana’e.
And David said to him, How did the matter go? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are also dead.
5 Le hoe t’i Davide amy ajalahy nitalily ama’ey: Akore ty ahafohina’o te nihomake t’i Saole naho Ionatane ana’ey?
And David said to the young man who told him, How do thou know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 Le hoe i ajalahy nitalily ama’ey: Izaho nitojeha’ an-kaboa’ i Gilboà eo, hehe te niato amy lefo’ey t’i Saole vaho nifanindry ama’e mafe o sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavalao.
And the young man who told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed close after him.
7 Aa ie nitolike mañamboho le nioni’e iraho, naho nikoiha’e, vaho vinaliko ty hoe: Intoy iraho.
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here I am.
8 Le hoe re tamako: Ia v’ iheo? le hoe ty natoiko: nte-Amaleke iraho.
And he said to me, Who are thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 Le hoe re tamako: Mijohaña añ’ ilako etoa, le vono, fa haoreañe ty mamihiñe ahy te mbe amako ty fiaiko.
And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 Aa le nijohañe añ’ ila’e eo iraho naho vinonoko fa niantofako ty hatò te tsy ho velon-dre ie fa nihotrake eo; aa le rinambeko i sabaka’e añ’ ambone’ey naho i ravak’ am-pità’eoy vaho naseseko mb’amy talèko mb’etoa.
So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he was fallen. And I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.
11 Finetre’ i Davide amy zao o siki’eo vaho niriate’e; nanao izay iaby ondaty nindre ama’eo,
Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them, and likewise all the men who were with him.
12 nangoihoy ty rovetse, nililitse am-para’ te haleñe ho a i Saole naho Ionatane ana’ey naho ondati’ Iehovào, vaho ho a i anjomba’ Israeley, ie fonga zinevom-pibara.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
13 Le hoe t’i Davide amy ajalahiy: Boak’ aia irehe? le hoe ty natoi’e: Ana-drenetane nte-Amaleke iraho.
And David said to the young man who told him, From where are thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
14 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Aa vaho akore te ihe tsy nihembañe hañiti’ tañañe handrotsake i noriza’ Iehovày?
And David said to him, Why were thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
15 Kinanji’i Davide amy zao ty gaon-dahy, ami’ty hoe: Mb’eo kahe, iambotraho: Le vinono’e am-panjevoañe.
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him so that he died.
16 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: An-doha’o ty lio’o; fa nitalily azo ty vava’o ami’ty hoe: Izaho ty namono ty noriza’ Iehovà.
And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head, for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
17 Nirovetse t’i Davide ami’ty fandalà’e i Saole naho i ana’e Ionatane,
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18 vaho linili’e t’ie haoke amo ana’ Iehodao ty sabo atao ty hoe: I Faley. Ingo t’ie sinokitse am-boke’ Iasare ao:
(and he bade them teach the sons of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19 Fa zinamañe an-kaboañe ey ty hatsomerentsere’ Israele! Akore ty fikorovoha’ o fanalolahio!
Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!
20 Ko talilieñe e Gate ao, ko tseizeñe an-damo’ i Askelone ey; tsy mone hirebeke o anak’ ampela o nte-Pilistioo hera handia taroba o anak’ ampela’ o tsy nisavareñeoo.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 O ry haboa’ i Giboà, ee t’ie tsy hivotrahan-jono ndra orañe, ndra teteke miregorego voa soa; amy te ao ty nañifihañe an-tsereheñe ty fikala’ o maozatseo, ty fikalan-defo’ i Saole, hoe t’ie tsy norizañ’ an-tsolike.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22 Boak’ ami’ty lio’ o zinamañeo, naho ami’ty havondra’ o fatratseo tsy nivike ty fàle’ Ionatane, tsy nimpoly mañomaño ty fibara’ i Saole.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 I Saole naho Ionatane, ty hatsomerentsere’e naho ty hamaràm-bintañe t’ie niveloñe, mbe nifampipiteke iereo te nihomake; nalisa ta ty vantioñe, naozatse ta ty liona.
Saul and Jonathan, men who were loved and pleasant, undivided; comely in their lives, and undivided in their death; swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 O ry anak’ ampela’ Israele, mangololoiha ho a i Saole, i nampisikiñe anahareo mena naho ravoravo ila’ey, i nametake bange volamena an-tsaro’ areoy.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 Akore te nitsingoritritse an-teñateñan-kotakotak’ ao o maozatseo! Zinevo an-kaboañe ey t’Ionatane!
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
26 Mampioremeñe ahy rehe ry Ionatane rahalahiko; nifanjàka amako; fiain-tane ty fikokoa’o ahy, mandikoatse ty hatea’ ampela.
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan. Very pleasant thou have been to me. Thy love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women.
27 Akore ty fihotraha’ o fanalolahio, nirotsake o haraom-pialiañeo.
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
