I Samuel 24

Ary Davida niakatra niala teo ka nitoetra tao amin'ny batery fiarovana tany En-jedy.

And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En–gedi.

Ary rehefa niverina avy nanenjika ny Filistina Saoly, dia nisy nanambara taminy hoe; Indro, Davida any an-efitr'i En-jedy.

Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.

Ary Saoly naka telo arivo lahy voafantina tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra ka lasa nitady an'i Davida sy ny olony tany amin'ny vatolampin'ny osi-dia.

And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.

Ary tonga teo amin'ny valan'ondry tamoron-dalana izay nisy zohy izy, ka niditra tao Saoly mba hiavela; nefa Davida sy ny olony efa nipetraka tao anatin'ny zohy.

And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

Ary hoy ny olon'i Davida taminy: Izao no andro nolazain'i Jehovah taminao hoe: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tananao ny fahavalonao hataonao araka izay sitrakao. Dia nitsangana Davida ka nitsaitsaika nanapaka ny sisin'ny kapôtin'i Saoly.

And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

Nefa nony efa vita izany, dia namely an'i Davida ny eritreriny noho ny nanapahany ny sisin'ny kapôtin'i Saoly,

And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.

ka hoy izy tamin'ny olony: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, raha hanao izany zavatra izany amin'ny tompoko izay voahosotr'i Jehovah ka haninjitra ny tanako aminy, fa voahosotr'i Jehovah izy.

So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

Dia nampijanona ny mpanompony tamin'izany teny izany Davida ka tsy namela azy hitsangana hamely an'i Saoly. Ary Saoly nitsangana ka niala tao an-johy, dia nandeha tamin'izay nalehany.

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.

Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia mba nitsangana koa Davida ka niala tao an-johy koa, dia niantso an'i Saoly ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô! Ary nony nitodika azy Saoly, dia niondrika tamin'ny tany Davida ka niankohoka.

And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Saoly: Nahoana ianao no maka vavan'olona hoe: Indro, Davida mitady hanisy ratsy anao?

Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.

Indro, hitan'ny masonao androany ny nanoloran'i Jehovah anao ho eo an-tanako tao an-johy; ary nisy nilaza hevitra hamonoana anao, saingy niantra anao ny masoko, ka hoy izaho: Tsy haninjitra ny tanako amin'ny tompoko aho, fa voahosotr'i Jehovah izy.

Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

Ary koa, ry ikaky ô, jereo dia jereo ange ny sisin'ny kapôtinao etỳ an-tanako; fa raha nanapaka ny sisin'ny kapôtinao aho, fa tsy nahafaty anao, dia izahao ka fantaro fa tsy misy faharatsiana na fahadisoana amin'ny tanako, ary tsy nanota taminao aho, nefa ianao kosa mihaza ny aiko mba hahafaty azy.

The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

Jehovah no hitsara ahy sy ianao, ary Jehovah no hamaly anao noho ny amiko, fa ny tanako tsy mba haninona anao.

As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

Araka ny lazain'ny ohabolan'ny ntaolo hoe: Avy amin'ny ratsy fanahy no ivoahan'ny ratsy, nefa ny tanako tsy haninona anao.

After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

Hitady an'iza no nivoahan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely? Iza no enjehinao? Amboa maty; parasy iray.

The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

Aoka Jehovah no ho mpitsara, ka dia hitsara ahy sy ianao ary hijery sy handahatra ho ahy ka hanafaka ahy amin'ny tananao.

And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

Ary nony vita izany teny nataon'i Davida tamin'i Saoly izany, dia hoy Saoly: Feonao va izany, ry Davida zanako ô? Ary Saoly nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany;

And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.

ary hoy izy tamin'i Davida: Marina noho izaho ianao; fa ianao dia nanisy soa ahy, fa izaho kosa namaly ratsy anao.

And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.

Ary ianao dia naneho androany ny nanaovanao soa tamiko, fa na dia natolotr'i Jehovah teo an-tananao aza aho, dia tsy nahafaty ahy ianao.

For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.

Fa moa raha misy olona mahazo ny fahavalony, havelany handeha soa aman-tsara va izy? Koa hovalian'i Jehovah soa anie ianao noho ny nataonao tamiko androany.

And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.

Ary, indro, ankehitriny fantatro fa ho mpanjaka tokoa ianao, ary ny fanjakan'ny Isiraely ho tafatoetra tsara eo an-tananao.

Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.

Koa mianiàna amiko amin'i Jehovah ianao ankehitriny fa tsy handringana ny taranako mandimby ahy ianao, ary tsy hovonoinao amin'ny mpianakavin'ny raiko ny anarako. Ary Davida dia nianiana tamin'i Saoly; ary dia lasa nody Saoly, fa Davida sy ny olony kosa niakatra nankany amin'ny batery fiarovana.

And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
