2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
Ary nony maty Saoly, ary niverina avy namono ny Amalekita Davida, dia nitoetra indroa andro tao Ziklaga izy.
2 on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, indro, nisy lehilahy iray tonga avy tany amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Saoly, triatra ny akanjony sady nihosin-tany ny lohany; ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ i Davida izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany ka nitsaoka.
3 David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
Ary hoy Davida taminy: Avy taiza moa ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Afaka nandositra avy tany amin’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely aho.
4 David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
Ary hoy Davida taminy: Nanao ahoana izay tany? Masìna ianao, ambarao amiko. Dia hoy izy: Ny olona nandositra tamin’ ny ady, ary be koa ny miampatrampatra sy maty, ary maty koa Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
5 David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo niteny taminy: Ahoana no nahafantaranao fa maty Saoly sy Jonatana zanany.
6 The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
Dia nanambara taminy ilay zatovo nanao hoe: Sendra tao an-tendrombohitra Gilboa aho, ary, indro, Saoly nitehina tamin’ ny lefony; ary, indreo, ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly nanenjika azy mafy.
7 When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
Dia niherika izy ka nahita ahy; ary niantso ahy izy, ka hoy izaho: Inty aho.
8 He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Iza moa ianao? Dia hoy izaho taminy: Amalekita aho.
9 He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
Ary hoy indray izy tamiko: Masìna ianao, hatony kely aho, ka vonoy, fa marary mivonkina ozatra aho, fa mbola ato anatiko ihany ny aiko.
10 So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
Dia nanatona azy aho ka namono azy, satria fantatro fa tsy ho velona izy, rehefa resy, ka dia nalaiko ny satro-boninahiny teo an-dohany sy ny fehin-tanana teo amin’ ny sandriny, ka nentiko etỳ amin’ ny tompoko izany.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
Dia noraisin’ i Davida ny fitafiany ka notriariny: ary dia mba nanao toy izany koa ny olona rehetra teo aminy.
12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Ary nisaona sy nitomany sy nifady hanina ambara-paharivan’ ny andro izy noho ny amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany sy ny olon’ i Jehovah ary ny taranak’ Isiraely, satria lavon-tsabatra ireny.
13 David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ilay zatovo nanambara taminy: Avy aiza ianao? Ary hoy izy: Zanaky ny vahiny Amalekita aho.
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
Dia hoy Davida taminy: Nahoana ianao no tsy natahotra haninjitra ny tananao hamono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah?
15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
Dia niantso zatovo anankiray Davida ka nanao hoe: Hatony io, ka vonoy; dia nasiany izy ka maty.
16 David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
ary hoy Davida taminy: Aoka ny rànao ho eo amin’ ny lohanao, satria ny vavanao ihany no efa niampanga anao nanao hoe: Izaho no namono ny voahosotr’ i Jehovah.
17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
Ary Davida nisaona an’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany tamin’ izao hira fisaonana izao
18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
(ary nasainy nampianarina ny taranak’ i Joda ny hira atao hoe Tsipika; indro, voasoratra ao amin’ ny Bokin’ i Jasara izany):
19 “Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Ilay voninahitrao, ry Isiraely, no voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao; Endrey! Lavo ny mahery!
20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza torinareo ho fifaliana any an-dalamben’ i Askelona. Fandrao mifaly ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina. Fandrao miravoravo ny zanakavavin’ ny tsy mifora.
21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
Hianareo tendrombohitra Gilboa, Aza misy ando aman’ orana intsony eny aminareo, na saha angalana fanatitra asandratra, satria tany no nandotoana ny ampingan’ ny mahery, Dia ny ampingan’ i Saoly, ka tsy nohosorana diloilo.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back. Saul’s sword did not return empty.
Ny tsipìkan’ i Jonatana tsy nihemotra. Raha tsy nahazo ny ran’ ny maty sy ny tavin’ ny mahery; ary ny sabatr’ i Saoly tsy mba niverina foana.
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
Saoly sy Jonatana, izay tiana sady mahate-ho-tia fony fahavelony, dia tsy nosarahina na dia tamin’ ny nahafatesany aza; Faingana noho ny voromahery izy ary mahery noho ny liona.
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Ry zanakavavin’ Isiraely, mitomania an’ i Saoly, fa nahafinaritra ny mampitafiany jaky anareo, sady nasiany firava-bolamena ny fitafianareo.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
Endrey! lavo teo amin’ ny ady ny mahery voalefona teo amin’ ny havoananao Jonatana.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
Ory noho ny aminao aho, ry Jonatana rahalahiko; nahafinaritra ahy indrindra ianao; nahagaga ny fitiavanao ahy mihoatra noho ny fitiavan’ ny vehivavy.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
Endrey! lavo ny mahery, ary levona ny fiadiana!
