2 Samuel 21
1 In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.
Ary nisy mosary telo taona misesy tamin’ ny andron’ i Davida, ary Davida nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah. Dia hoy Jehovah: Avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Saoly, izay meloka noho ny fandatsahan-drà izao, satria namono ny Gibeonita izy.
2 Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives: )
Ary ny mpanjaka nampaka ny Gibeonita ka nanao taminy hoe (ny Gibeonita tsy mba isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fa sisa tamin’ ny Amorita, ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nianiana taminy; nefa Saoly nitady izay hamelezany azy amin’ ny firehetan’ ny fitiavany ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny Joda),
3 So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?
ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny Gibeonita: Inona no hataoko ho anareo; ary amin’ inona no hanaovako fanavotana mba hitsofanareo rano ny lovan’ i Jehovah?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?
Dia hoy ny Gibeonita taminy: Izahay tsy mahazo mandray volafotsy na volamena amin’ i Saoly na amin’ ny taranany sady tsy mahazo mamono olona amin’ ny Isiraely Ary hoy izy: Koa ahoana ary no tianareo hataoko ho anareo?
5 And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel,
Dia hoy izy ireo tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Ny lehilahy izay nandringana anay sy nikasa hamely anay ho ringana tsy hitoetra amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra
6 Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
no avelao hisy fito lahy amin’ ny zanany hatolotra anay hahantonay ho an’ i Jehovah ao Gibean’ i Saoly, ilay voafidin’ i Jehovah. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Hatolotro izy.
7 But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
Fa ny mpanjaka niaro an’ i Mefiboseta, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, noho ny fianianana tamin’ i Jehovah nataon’ i Davida sy Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Ary ny mpanjaka naka azy roa lahy, zanak’ i Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, izay naterany tamin’ i Saoly, dia Armony sy Mefiboseta, ary ny dimy lahy zanak’ i Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, izay naterany tamin’ i Adriela, zanak’ i Barzilay Meholatita,
9 And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.
dia natolony teo an-tànan’ ny Gibeonita ireo ka nahanton’ ireo teo amin’ ny havoana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary niara-maty izy fitolahy, samy novonoiny tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny fararano tamin’ ny voalohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary hordea izy.
10 And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.
Ary Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, naka lamba fisaonana, dia novelariny teo amin’ ny vatolampy iny hitoerany hatramin’ ny niandohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ka ambara-pilatsaky ny orana avy any an-danitra tamin’ ny faty, ka tsy navelany hipetrahan’ ny voro-manidina ireo raha antoandro, na ny bibi-dia raha alina.
11 And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done.
Ary nambara tamin’ i Davida izay nataon’ i Rizpa, zanakavavin’ i Aia, vaditsindranon’ i Saoly.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:
Dia lasa Davida naka ny taolan’ i Saoly sy ny taolan’ i Jonatana zanany tany amin’ ny mponina tao Jabesi-gileada, izay nangalatra azy tao an-kalalahana any Beti-sana, ilay nanantonan’ ny Filistina azy tamin’ ny andro namonoan’ ny Filistina an’ i Saoly tao Gilboa.
13 And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging.
Ary dia nentiny niakatra avy tany ny taolan’ i Saoly sy ny taolan’ i Jonatana zanany, ary nangoniny koa ny taolan’ ireo voahantona ireo.
14 And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do. And after that, God gave ear to their prayers for the land.
Ary ny taolan’ i Saoly sy Jonatana zanany dia nalevin’ ny olona tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina tao Zela, tao amin’ ny fasan’ i Kisy rainy; ary dia vitany izay rehetra nandidian’ ny mpanjaka. Ary nony efa vita izany, dia neken’ Andriamanitra ny fifonana natao ho an’ ny tany.
15 And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:
Ary niady indray ny Filistina sy ny Isiraely; ary Davida sy ny mpanompony izay nanaraka azy dia nidina ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina, ary reraka Davida.
16 And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death.
Ary Jisbibenoba, izay isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta (ny lanjan’ ny lefony dia varahina telon-jato sekely), dia nitondra fiadiana vaovao ka nikasa hahafaty an’ i Davida.
17 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.
Fa Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, nanampy azy, dia namely ilay Filistina ka nahafaty azy. Ary tamin’ izay ny olon’ i Davida dia nianiana taminy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hiara-mivoaka aminay intsony ho amin’ ny ady ianao, fandrao hovonoinao ny fahazavan’ ny Isiraely.
18 Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia nisy ady indray amin’ ny Filistina teo Goba, ary Sibeka Hosatita nahafaty an’ i Safa, izay isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta.
19 And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
Ary nisy ady indray koa tamin’ ny Filistina teo Goba, ary Elanana, zanak’ i Jare-oregima Betlehemita, namono an’ i Goliata Gatita, izay nanan-jaran-defona tahaka ny vodi-tenon’ ny mpanenona.
20 And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Ary nisy ady koa tao Gata, ary nisy lehilahy vaventy, izay enin-drantsana, ka dia efatra amby roa-polo no isan’ ny rantsan-tànany sy ny rantsan-tongony, ary izy koa dia mba teraky ny Refaïta.
21 And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.
Ary izy nihaika ny Isiraely, ka matin’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
22 These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.
Ireo efatra ireo no teraky ny Refaïta teo Gata, ka matin’ ny tànan’ i Davida sy ny tanan’ ny mpanompony avokoa ireo.
