1 Samoela 19
1 Le nisaontsy am’ Ionatane ana’e naho amo mpitoro’e iabio t’i Saole, hañohofa’ iareo loza amy Davide; fe mpirañetse amy Davide t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole.
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
2 Le natalili’ Ionatane amy Davide ty hoe: Mipay hamono azo ty raeko; aa ehe mitaoa te maraindray le mipalira añetake,
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
3 fa hiakatse iraho hijohañe marine an-draeko an-kivoke ietaha’o, hitalily azo aman-draeko; le hataliliko azo ze treako.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
4 Nisaontsy soa i Davide amy Saole rae’e t’Ionatane, ami’ty hoe: Ehe te tsy hanan-tahiñe amy Davide mpitoro’ey, i mpanjakay; amy t’ie tsy nandilatse ama’o, naho nisoa iaby ty fitoloña’e ama’o;
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
5 naho nado’e an-taña’e ao ty fiai’e t’ie nandafa i nte-Pilistiy, ie ninday fandreketam-bey ho a Israele t’Iehovà; nioni’o izay, vaho nirebeke; aa le manao akore t’ihe hanan-kakeo an-dio-maliñe, hamonoa’o tsy aman-tali’e t’i Davide?
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Hinao’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ Ionatane; le nifanta ami’ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà tsy havetrake re.
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
7 Kinoi’ Ionatane amy zao t’i Davide le nitalilia’e; vaho nendese’ Ionatane añatrefa’ i Saole eo manahake te taolo.
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 Nirehetse indraike ty aly; le niavotse mb’eo t’i Davide, nialy amo nte-Pilistio vaho ra’elahy i fizamanañey, kanao nandripàke aolo’eo.
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
9 Nivotrak’ amy Saole amy zao ty fañahy raty boak’ amy Iehovà, ie niambesatse añ’ anjomba’e ao reketse lefoñe am-pità’e, naho nititik’ am-pità’e t’i Davide.
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
10 Le nimanea’ i Saole tombo-defoñe t’i Davide hipiteha’e amy rindriñey, f’ie nipoliotse am-piatrefa’e le tinombo’ i lefoñey i rindriñey naho nibotiotse t’i Davide, nienga amy haleñey.
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 Namantoke ìrake homb’ an-traño’ i Davide ao t’i Saole, hamono aze naho maraindray; fa nitalilia’ i Mikale vali’ i Davide ty hoe: Naho tsy mandrombak’ ain-drehe te anito haleñe le havetrake te maray.
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 Aa le nazotso’ i Mikale ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Davide vaho nienga, le niherereak’ añe.
So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
13 Rinambe’i Mikale ty terafime naho nampandre’e am-pandreañe eo, le napo’e an-doha’e eo ty fikalam-bolon-ose vaho kinolopo’e lamba.
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Aa ie nañitrifa’ i Saole t’i Davide, le hoe t’i Mikale, Siloke re.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 Le nañitrike indraike t’i Saole handrèndreke i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Aseseo amako am-pandrea’e hamonoako aze.
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
16 Ie nimoak’ ao i mpihitrike rey, hehe te saren-draha ty am-pandreañe ao vaho fikalam-bolon-ose ty natao loha’e.
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Mikale, Ino ty namañahia’o ahy, te nasinta’o i rafelahikoy, ie nimonazake mb’eo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Mikale amy Saole, Hoe re tamako, Apoho hiavotse iraho, tsy mone havetrako.
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
18 Aa le nioratse ty lay t’i Davide naho nivotrak’ amy Samoele e Ramà añe; le hene natalili’e ama’e ty nanoa’ i Saole aze. Nañavelo mb’e Naiote re mindre amy Samoele vaho nimoneñe ao.
Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 Natalily amy Saole ty hoe: Inao! e Naiote e Ramà ao t’i Davide.
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 Nañitrike mb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Saole; aa ie tendrek’ am’ iereo o mpitoky nitokio, naho nijohañe ho mpiaolo’ iareo t’i Samoele le nivotrak’ amo ira’ i Saoleo ty Arofon’ Añahare vaho nitoky ka.
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 Ie natalily amy Saole, le nañirake ty ila’e fe mbe nitoky avao. Nañitrike fañintelo’e vaho nitoky ka.
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Aa le nañavelo mb’e Ramà ka re naho nipok’ an-kadaha jabajaba’ i Sekò eo; vaho nañontane ami’ty hoe: Aia t’i Samoele naho i Davide? Le hoe ty raike: Inao, e Naiote e Ramà añe.
Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 Aa le nimb’e Naiote e Ramà re le nivotrak’ ama’e amy lia’ey ka i Arofon’ Añaharey vaho nitolom-pitoky am-para’ te pok’e Naiote e Ramà ao.
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Hinalo’e iaby o saro’eo vaho nitoky añatrefa’ i Samoele, le nàndre niboridañe ey avao re amy àndroy naho amy haleñey. Aa le hoe ty sinaontsy: Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
