1 Samuel 18
1 Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra niteny tamin’ i Saoly izy, dia raiki-pitia tamin’ i Davida ny fanahin’ i Jonatana, ka tia azy hoatra ny tenany mihitsy izy.
2 And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
Ary Saoly nandray azy tamin’ izany andro izany ka tsy namela azy hody tany amin’ ny tranon-drainy intsony.
3 Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
Ary Davida sy Jonatana nanao fanekena noho ny fitiavan’ i Jonatana azy toy ny tenany.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
Ary nesorin’ i Jonatana ny akanjony ivelany izay teny aminy ka nomeny an’ i Davida mbamin’ ny akanjo fiadiany sy ny sabany sy ny tsipìkany ary ny fehin-kibony koa aza.
5 And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
Ary Davida nanafika ka hita fa hendry tamin’ izay rehetra nanirahan’ i Saoly azy; ka dia nataon’ i Saoly mpifehy ny miaramila izy sady nankasitrahan’ ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpanompon’ i Saoly koa.
6 Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
Ary nony tonga ny olona tamin’ ny niverenan’ i Davida avy namono ilay Filistina, dia nivoaka ny vehivavy avy tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nihira sy nandihy nitsena an’ i Saoly mpanjaka tamin’ ny ampongatapaka sy ny fifaliana ary ny kipantsona.
7 And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
Ary ny vehivavy mpandihy dia nihira hoe: Saoly nahafaty arivoarivo; Fa Davida nahafaty alinalina.
8 And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
Dia tezitra indrindra Saoly, fa tsy sitrany izany teny izany, ka hoy izy: Ny an’ i Davida nataony alinalina lahy, fa ny ahy kosa nataony arivoarivo ihany; koa ny fanjakana ihany no sisa tsy mbola azony.
9 And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
Ary Saoly hatramin’ izany andro izany dia nangarika an’ i Davida.
10 Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia nisy fanahy ratsy avy tany amin’ Andriamanitra nilatsaka tamin’ i Saoly, ka dia maola tao an-trano izy; ary Davida nitendry lokanga tamin’ ny tànany tahaka ny fanaony isan’ andro ihany, ary nisy lefona teny an-tànan’ i Saoly.
11 And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
Dia natorak’ i Saoly ny lefona; fa hoy izy: Hamely an’ i Davida aho, ka hataoko miboroaka mihatra amin’ ny rindrina. Fa Davida nisoroka indroa teo anatrehany.
12 And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
Ary Saoly natahotra an’ i Davida, satria Jehovah nomba azy, fa Saoly kosa efa nialany.
13 So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
Koa dia nesorin’ i Saoly tsy ho eo aminy Davida, ary nataony mpifehy arivo, dia nitarika ny olona nivoaka sy niditra izy.
14 And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
Ary Davida dia hita fa hendry tamin’ izay rehetra nataony, ary Jehovah nomba azy.
15 And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.
Ary nony hitan’ i Saoly fa hendry dia hendry Davida, dia natahotra azy izy.
16 But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra kosa tia an’ i Davida, satria nitondra azy nivoaka sy niditra izy.
17 And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Indro homeko ho vadinao Meraba vavimatoako, koa mahereza ho ahy anefa ianao, ary miadia ny adin’ i Jehovah. (Fa hoy Saoly: Aoka tsy ny tanako no hamely azy, fa aoka ny tanan’ ny Filistina no hamely azy.)
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
Fa hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Zinona moa aho, ary manao ahoana no toetry ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko ao amin’ ny Isiraely, no ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka aho?
19 But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
Kanjo nony tamin’ ny andro tokony ho namoahana an’ i Meraba, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ho vadin’ i Davida, dia nomena ho vadin’ i Adriela Meholatita izy.
20 And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
Fa Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly kosa tia an’ i Davida; ary nisy nanambara izany tamin’ i Saoly, ka sitrak’ i Saoly izany.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
(Fa hoy Saoly: Homeko azy izy, mba ho fandrika aminy ka hamelezan’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina azy.) Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Fanindroan’ ny maha-vinantoko anao izao.
22 And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
Ary Saoly nandidy ny mpanompony hoe: Miresaha mangingina amin’ i Davida, ka ataovy hoe: Indro, tian’ ny mpanjaka ianao, ary ny mpanompony rehetra tia anao; ka dia maneke ihany ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka ianao.
23 And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
Ary ny mpanompon’ i Saoly nilaza izany teny izany tamin’ i Davida. Fa hoy Davida: Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely izany ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka? Tsy hitanareo va fa izaho dia olona malahelo sady tsy manan-daza?
24 And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
Ary ny mpanompon’ i Saoly nilaza taminy hoe: Izany no navalin’ i Davida.
25 And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
Dia hoy Saoly: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Davida: Ny mpanjaka tsy mila harena be ho vodiondry, fa ny mariky ny fahafatesan’ ny Filistina zato lahy ihany, mba ho famaliana ny fahavalony. Kanjo hevitr’ i Saoly hahafaty an’ i Davida amin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina izany.
26 And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
Ary rehefa nambaran’ ny mpanompon’ i Saoly tamin’ i Davida izany teny izany, dia sitrak’ i Davida ny ho vinanton’ ny mpanjaka. Ary raha tsy mbola tapitra ny fetr’ andro,
27 So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
dia niainga Davida, ary nandeha izy sy ny olony ka nahafaty Filistina roan-jato, lahy ary Davida nitondra ny mariky ny fahafatesany ka nanisa azy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka mba hahavinanton’ ny mpanjaka azy. Dia nomen’ i Saoly ho vadin’ i Davida Mikala zananivavy.
28 And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
Ary Saoly nahita sy nahalala fa Jehovah nomba an’ i Davida; ary Mikala zananivavy tia azy.
29 And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
Ary dia vao mainka natahotra an’ i Davida Saoly; ka dia tonga fahavalon’ i Davida mandrakariva izy.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
Ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina dia nanafika; ary isaky ny nanafika izy, dia Davida no hita fa hendry noho ny mpanompon’ i Saoly rehetra, ka dia nisandratra ny anarany.
