1 Samoela 26
1 Niheo amy Saole e Gibà mb’eo o nte Zifeo nanao ty hoe: Tsy mietak’ an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ Iesimone ao hao t’i Davide?
The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, "Doesn't David hide himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon?"
2 Aa le niavotse mb’ am-patrambei’ i Zife mb’eo t’i Saole, reketse ty ana’ Israele telo-arivo jinoboñe, hikodebe i Davide am-patrambei’ i Zife ao.
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 Nitobe an-kaboa’ i Kakilà aolo’ i fatrambeiy añ’ olon-dalañe eo t’i Saole. Nipalitse am-patrambey ao t’i Davide vaho nirendre’e te nañoridañe aze mb’am-patrambey mb’eo t’i Saole.
Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 Aa le nañirake mpitingañe t’i Davide hamente te toe nivotrak’ ao t’i Saole.
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
5 Niongake le nimb’ amy toetse nitobea’ i Saole mb’eoy t’i Davide vaho nioni’ i Davide ty nandrea’ i Saole naho i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, te nàndre am-piarikatohañe ao t’i Saole ie nitobe añariary aze ondatio.
David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped around him.
6 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akimeleke, nte-Kete naho amy Abisay, ana’ i Tseroià, rahalahi’ Ioabe, Ia ty hindre amako hizotso mb’ amy Saole an-tobe mb’eo? Le hoe t’i Abisay, Hindrezako.
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will go down with you."
7 Aa le niheo mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo haleñe t’i Davide naho i Abisay, le ingo t’i Saole mandre, mirotse añivo’ i toetsey eo, i lefo’ey nitsatok’ an-tane marine’ i añambone’ey vaho nandre niarikoboñe aze t’i Abnere naho ondaty iabio.
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, look, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
8 Le hoe t’i Abisay amy Davide: Toe natolon’ Añahare am-pità’o androany i rafelahi’oy; aa ehe, angao hataoko tombok’ avots’ an-defon-dre an-tane eo, vaho tsy hindroeko.
Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."
9 Fa hoe t’i Davide amy Abisay: Ko joie’o; ia ty hañonjo haok’ amy noriza’ Iehovày t’ie tsy hanañ’ kakeo?
David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against YHWH's anointed, and be guiltless?"
10 Le hoe t’i Davide; Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, Aiy! ke ho lafa’ Iehovà, he ho avy ty androm-pihomaha’e, he t’ie hizotso an-kotakotake ao hihomake.
David said, "As YHWH lives, YHWH will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
11 Sondo’e am’ Iehovà te izaho ro hañiti-tañañe amy noriza’ Iehovày; fe ehe rambeso i lefoñe añ’ambone’ey naho i zonjon-drano’ey le hienga tika.
YHWH forbid that I should put forth my hand against YHWH's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."
12 Aa le nendese’ i Davide i lefoñe naho zonjoñe añambone’ i Saoley eo le nienga, leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy nahaisake, tsy nahafohiñe vaho tsy nitsekake, songa nirotse amy t’e nampilañahe’ Iehovà.
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from YHWH was fallen on them.
13 Aa le nitsake mb’añ’ila’e ey hoeke ey t’i Davide, le nijohañe an-kaboañe eñe; heba’e jabajaba ty añivo’ iereo.
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them.
14 Le nikoik’ am’ondatio naho amy Abnere ana’ i Nere t’i Davide, ami’ty hoe: Tsy manoiñe v‘iheo, Abnere? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Abnere: Ia-mbao o mikoik’ amy mpanjakaio?
And David called to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Do you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls?"
15 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abnere: Tsy lahitsiay v’iheo? ia ty mañirinkiriñe azo e Israele ao? Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy nahafañambeñe i talè’o mpanjakay? Kanao nimb’eo t’indaty hanjevoñe i talè’o mpanjakay.
David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
16 Tsy soa o nanoe’oo. Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mañeva harotsake irehe, amy te tsy nahafigaritse ty talè’o noriza’ Iehovà. Henteo arè: Aia ty lefo’ i mpanjakay, naho i zonjon-drano tam-pikala’ey?
This thing isn't good that you have done. As YHWH lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, YHWH's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that was by his head?"
17 Napota’ i Saole ty fiarañanaña’ i Davide, le hoe re: Feo’o hao zao ry anako Davide? Le hoe t’i Davide: Feoko ‘nio, ry talèko mpanjaka.
Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
18 Le hoe re: Ino ty hañoridaña’ i talèkoy i mpitoro’ey? Ino o nanoekoo? Ino ty hakeo an-tañako ao?
He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
19 Aa le miambane ama’o iraho, ehe te hijanjiñe o vola’ i mpitoro’eio ty talè mpanjakako. Naho Iehovà ty nitrobo azo amako le ehe te ho no’e t’ie hisoroñañe; fe naho o ana’ ondatio le fàtse añatrefa’ Iehovà iereo; ie nanao soik’ ahy henaneo tsy hifaharako amy lova’ Iehovày ami’ty hoe: Akia, mitoroña ‘ndrahare ila’e.
Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before YHWH; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to YHWH's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'
20 Aa le ko ampiorihe’o an-tane añatrefa’ Iehovà ty lioko; fa toe nimb’ etoa ty mpanjaka’ Israele hikodebe ty pia, manahake ty fikeheañe kibo am-bohitse ey.
Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of YHWH; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."
21 Aa le hoe t’i Saole: Toe nandilatse iraho; mimpolia irehe Davide, anako, fa tsy ho robaheko ka; amy te nisarotse am-pahaoniña’o ty fiaiko anindroany; ingo t’ie nanao sare-gege, le loho nandilatse.
Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
22 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide: Ingo ty lefo’ i mpanjakay! ampañitrifo aze atoy ty ajalahy.
And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now let one of the young men come over and get it.
23 Toe songa ho valea’ Iehovà ondatio ami’ty havañona’e, naho ami’ty figahiña’e; fa natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako irehe anindroany, le nifoneñako tsy hañity tañañe hijoy ty noriza’ Iehovà.
YHWH will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because YHWH delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against YHWH's anointed.
24 Aa kanao nonjoneñe ami’ty masoko ty fiai’o anindroany le ehe te honjoneñe am-pihaino’ Iehovà ka ty aiko hamotsora’e ahy amy ze fangovitañe iaby.
Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of YHWH, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."
25 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide: Ho tahie’e irehe Davide anako; toe hitoloñe an-kaozaran-drehe vaho handreketse. Aa le nienga t’i Davide naho nimpoly añ’akiba’e añe t’i Saole.
Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son David. You shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
