I Samuel 26

And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?

Ary ny Zifita tonga tao amin'i Saoly tany Gibea ka nanao hoe: Tsy miery any amin'ny havoana Hakila manandrify ny efitra va Davida?

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.

Dia niainga Saoly nidina nankany an-efitr'i Zifa, nitondra telo arivo lahy voafantina tamin'ny Isiraely hanaraka azy hitady an'i Davida any an-efitr'i Zifa.

And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

Ary nitoby tao amin'ny havoana Hakila manandrify ny efitra teo amoron-dalana izy. Fa Davida kosa nitoetra tany an-efitra, ary hitany fa tonga nanaraka azy tany an-efitra Saoly.

David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.

Dia naniraka mpisafo Davida, ka fantany fa tonga tokoa Saoly.

And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

Dia niainga Davida ka tonga teo amin'ny nitobian'i Saoly; ary hitan'i Davida izay nandrian'i Saoly sy Abnera, zanak'i Nera, komandin'ny miaramilany; fa Saoly nandry teo anatin'ny sehatra-sariety, sady nitoby nanodidina azy ny vahoaka.

Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Ahimeleka Hetita sy Abisay, zanak'i Zeroia, rahalahin'i Joaba; Iza no hidina hiaraka amiko ho any amin'i Saoly any an-toby? Dia hoy Abisay: Izaho hidina hiaraka aminao.

So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

Ary tonga tao amin'ny vahoaka Davida sy Abisay nony alina; ary, indro, Saoly nandry ka natory teo anatin'ny sehatra-sariety, ary ny lefony nitsatoka amin'ny tany teo anilan'ny lohany; fa Abnera sy ny vahoaka nandry manodidina azy.

Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

Ary hoy Abisay tamin'i Davida: Efa voahidin'Andriamanitra eo an-tananao ny fahavalonao izao; koa, masìna ianao, aoka holefoniko indray mandeha monja hataoko miboroaka amin'ny tany izy, fa tsy hamely azy indroa akory aho.

And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?

Fa hoy Davida tamin'i Abisay: Aza mamono azy; fa iza no maninjitra ny tànany tamin'ny voahosotr'i Jehovah ka tsy nanan-tsiny?

David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

Ary hoy koa Davida: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia aoka Jehovah no hamely azy; na ho tonga ny androny, ka ho faty izy; na hirotsaka ho amin'ny ady izy, ka any no hahafaty azy.

The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, raha haninjitra ny tanako hamely ny voahosotr'i Jehovah aho; fa masìna ianao, ny lefona eo anilan'ny lohany sy ny tavoara fitondran-drano no alao, dia andeha isika handeha.

So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.

Dia nalain'i Davida ny lefona sy ny tavoara izay teo anilan'ny lohan'i Saoly ka dia lasa izy, ary tsy nisy olona nahita, na nahalala, na nahatsiaro; fa natory izy rehetra, satria nataon'i Jehovah renoky ny torimaso izy.

Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:

Dia nita nankeny an-dafin-tsaha Davida ka nijanona teo an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra lavidavitra (lavidavitra ihany ny elanelan'izy roa tonta);

And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

ary Davida niantso ny olona sy Abnera, zanak'i Nera, hoe: Tsy mamaly va ianao, ry Abnera? Ary Abnera dia namaly hoe: Iza moa ianao, no miantso ho re eto anatrehan'ny mpanjaka?

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Abnera: Tsy lehilahy mahery va ianao, ary iza no tahaka anao amin'ny Isiraely? Koa nahoana ianao no tsy miambina ny mpanjaka tomponao? fa nisy anankiray tamin'ny olona tonga teo hamono ny mpanjaka tomponao.

This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

Tsy mety izany nataonao izany. Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tokony ho faty ianareo, satria tsy miambina ny tomponareo, ilay voahosotr'i Jehovah Ary izahao ange, fa aiza moa ny lefon'ny mpanjaka sy ny tavoara fitondran-drano teo anilan'ny lohany?

And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

Ary fantatr'i Saoly ny feon'i Davida ka hoy izy: Feonao moa izany, ry Davida zanako? Ary hoy Davida: Feoko tokoa, ry mpanjaka tompoko.

And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?

Ary hoy koa izy: Nahoana ny tompoko no manenjika ny mpanompony? Inona no nataoko, ary inona no ratsy amin'ny tanako?

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

Ary ankehitriny masìna ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko, mihainoa ny tenin'ny mpanomponao. Raha Jehovah no nanesika anao hamely ahy, dia aoka handray fanatitra mani-pofona Izy; fa raha zanak'olona kosa, dia aoka ho voaozona eo anatrehan'i Jehovah izy, satria efa nandroaka ahy androany tsy hanana anjara amin'ny lova nomen'i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, manompoa andriamani-kafa.

Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

Koa aza avela ho latsaka amin'ny tany lavitra an'i Jehovah ny rako; fa ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely nivoaka nitady parasy iray, tahaka ny manenjika tsipoy eny an-tendrombohitra.

Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

Ary hoy Saoly: Efa nanota aho: miverena, ry Davida zanako, fa tsy hanisy ratsy anao intsony aho, fa soa teo imasonao ny aiko androany; indro, efa nanao adala aho ka diso indrindra.

And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

Ary Davida namaly hoe: Indro ny lefon'ny mpanjaka! koa asaovy misy zatovo anankiray mankety haka azy.

The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed.

Ny lehilahy izay nanoloran'i Jehovah anao teo an-tànany androany dia hovaliany araka ny fahitsiany sy ny fahamarinany, fa tsy nety naninjitra ny tanako hamely ny voahosotr'i Jehovah aho.

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

Ary, indro, fa tahaka ny nanaovako ny aina ho lehibe androany no mba hanaovan'i Jehovah ny aiko ho lehibe kosa ka hanafahany ahy amin'ny fahoriana rehetra.

Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

Ary hoy Saoly tamin'i Davida: Hotahina anie ianao, ry Davida zanako; hanao dia hanao ianao sady hahatontosa. Dia lasa Davida, fa Saoly kosa nitodi-doha hiverina.
