1 Samuel 23
1 And they reported to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the grain stores.”
Natalily amy Davide ty hoe: Inao te maname i Keilà o nte-Pilistio, vaho tavane’ iareo o toe-pifofohañeo.
2 Therefore, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and strike down these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go, and you shall strike down the Philistines, and you shall save Keilah.”
Aa le nañontane am’ Iehovà t’i Davide, ami’ ty hoe: Homb’eo hao raho, handafa o nte-Pilistio? Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Davide, Akia lafao o nte-Pilistio vaho rombaho t’i Keilà.
3 And the men who were with David said to him, “Behold, we continue in fear here in Judea; how much more so, if we go into Keilah against the troops of the Philistines?”
Fe hoe o mpiamy Davideo ama’e, Toe mahahembañ’ anay ty e Iehodà atoa, antsake t’ie mb’e Keilà naho mb’ amo lahindefon-te-Pilistio.
4 Therefore, David consulted the Lord again. And responding, he said to him: “Rise up, and go into Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Aa le nañontane Iehovà indraike t’i Davide, le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Miongaha, mizotsoa mb’e Keilà mb’eo vaho hatoloko am-pità’o o nte-Pilistio.
5 Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Aa le nimb’e Keilà mb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ o mpiama’eo, naho nialy amo nte-Pilistio vaho tinava’ iareo o añombe’ iareo iabio; linafa am-pizamanañe jabajaba. Toe rinomba’ i Davide o mpimone’ i Keilào.
6 And in that time, when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, was in exile with David, he had descended to Keilah, having an ephod with him.
Ie nipoliotse mb’ amy Davide mb’e Keilà mb’eo t’i Abiatare ana’ i Akimeleke, le nizotso reketse kitambe am-pità’e.
7 Then it was reported to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said: “The Lord has delivered him into my hands. For he is enclosed, having entered into a city which has gates and bars.”
Natalily amy Saole te nimb’e Keilà t’i Davide, le hoe t’i Saole: Fa natolon’ Añahare an-tañako; ie migabeñe an-drova aman-dalam-bey naho sikadañe ao.
8 And Saul instructed all the people to descend in order to fight against Keilah, and to besiege David and his men.
Songa natonto’ i Saole hihotakotake ondatio, hizotso mb’e Keilà mb’eo hiarikatoke i Davide naho ondati’eo.
9 And when David had realized that Saul had secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Napota’ i Davide te nikinia raty aze t’i Saole le hoe re amy Abiatare mpisoroñe: Endeso atoy i kitambey.
10 And David said: “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has heard a report that Saul is planning to go to Keilah, so that he may overturn the city because of me.
Le hoe t’i Davide: Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, Toe jinanji’ i mpitoro’oy te mipay ho mb’e Keilà mb’atoa t’i Saole, handrotsake ty rova toy ty amako.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands? And will Saul descend, just as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, reveal to your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will descend.”
Hatolo’ ondati’ i Keilào am-pità’e hao raho? Hizotso mb’etoa hao t’i Saole ty amy tsinanokoy? Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, miambane ama’o, atalilio amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe t’Iehovà: Hizotso re.
12 And David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me, and the men who are with me, into the hands of Saul?” And the Lord said, “They will deliver you.”
Le hoe t’i Davide: Hatolo’ ondati’ i Keilào am-pità’ i Saole hao raho? Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hatolo’ iareo.
13 Therefore, David, and his men of about six hundred, rose up, and, departing from Keilah, they wandered here and there, aimlessly. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled from Keilah, and was saved. For this reason, he chose not to go out.
Aa le nibioñe mb’ amy ze nimete añe t’i Davide naho ondati’eo, ie ni-enen-jato varàñe. Natalily amy Saole te nienga i Keilà t’i Davide, le nado’e ty lia’e mb’eo.
14 Then David stayed in the desert, in very strong places. And he stayed on a mount in the wilderness of Ziph, on a shady mount. Nevertheless, Saul was seeking him every day. But the Lord did not deliver him into his hands.
Nimoneñe am-patrambey añe am-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide, le nitambatse am-bohibohim-patrambei’ i Zife añe. Nitsoek’ aze boak’ andro boak’ andro t’i Saole f’ie tsy natolon’ Añahare am-pità’e.
15 And David saw that Saul had gone out, so that he might seek his life. Now David was in the desert of Ziph, in the woods.
Nioni’ i Davide te niavotse mb’eo hipay ty fiai’e t’i Saole; ie am-patrambei’ i Zife amy alay t’i Davide.
16 And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him:
Niavotse amy zao t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole vaho nimb’ amy Davide amy alay ao; le nampahaozare’e ty fità’e aman’ Añahare;
17 “Do not be afraid. For the hand of my father, Saul, will not find you. And you shall reign over Israel. And I will be second to you. And even my father knows this.”
ie nisaontsie’e ty hoe: Ko hemban-drehe; fa tsy ho oni-pità’ i Saole raeko; le ihe ty ho mpifehe Israele vaho ho mpiama’o raho; toe fohi’ i Saole raeko.
18 Therefore, they both struck a pact before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods. But Jonathan returned to his house.
Aa le nifañina añatrefa’ Iehovà eo iereo roe; nimoneñe añ’ ala ao t’i Davide, vaho nimpoly mb’ an-kiboho’e añe t’Ionatane.
19 Then the Ziphites ascended to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, is not David hidden with us in very secure places in the woods on the hill of Hachilah, which is to the right of the desert?
Niheo mb’amy Saole e Gibà mb’eo o nte-Zifeo nanao ty hoe: Tsy mietak’ ama’ay, amo fipalirañe amy alaio hao t’i Davide? an-kaboa’ i Kakilà atimo’ Iesimone ao?
20 Now therefore, if your soul has desired to descend, then descend. Then it will be for us to deliver him into the hands of the king.”
Aa le mizotsoa mb’eo ry mpanjaka, mizotsoa an-kapean-tsatrin’ arofo’o, le hatolo’ay am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
21 And Saul said: “You have been blessed by the Lord. For you have grieved for my situation.
Le hoe t’i Saole; Ho tahie’ Iehovà, ami’ty fitretreza’ areo ahy.
22 Therefore, I beg you, go forth, and prepare diligently, and act carefully. And consider the place where his foot may be, and who may have seen him there. For he thinks, concerning me, that I craftily plan treachery against him.
Akia arè, venteo le arendreho indraike, vaho oniño i toem-pipalira’ey; fa inao, toe mpamañahy re.
23 Consider and seek out all his hiding places, in which he may be concealed. And return to me with certainty about the matter, so that I may go with you. But if he would even press himself into the earth, I will search him out, amid all the thousands of Judah.”
Aa le arendreho naho fohìno o toem-pipalira’eo, le mibaliha mb’amako mb’etoa reketse i niventeñey vaho hindrezako; ie amy zay, kanao an-tane ao re, le ho kodebèko amo arivo’ Iehodao.
24 And rising up, they went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain to the right of Jeshimon.
Aa le niavotse iereo niaolo i Saole mb’e Zife mb’eo; fe tan-dratraratra’ i Maone añe t’i Davide naho ondati’eo, añ’Arabà atimo’ Iesimone ao.
25 Then Saul and his allies went to seek him. And this was reported to David. And immediately, he descended to the rock, and he moved about in the desert of Maon. And when Saul had heard of it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.
Nimb’eo t’i Saole rekets’ o mpiama’eo hitsoek’ aze. Nitalilieñe t’i Davide; aa le nizotso mb’an-damilamy mb’eo re niambesatse an-dratraratra’ i Maone ao. Ie jinanji’ i Saole zay le nihoridàñe’e t’i Davide an-dratraratra’ i Maone añe.
26 And Saul went to one side of the mountain. But David and his men were on the other side of the mountain. Then David was despairing that he would be able to escape from the face of Saul. And Saul and his men enclosed David and his men in the manner of a crown, so that they might capture them.
Añ’ ila’ i vohitsey atoy t’i Saole le añ’ ila’e aroa t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo; nalisa nienga ty fiatrefa’ i Saole t’i Davide, fa hiarikoboñe i Davide naho ondati’eo t’i Saole naho ondati’eo hitsepak’ aze.
27 And a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have poured themselves out upon the land.”
Fe nivotrak’ amy Saole ty mpihitrike, nanao ty hoe: Masikà, mihavia, fa mitavañe ty tanen-tika o nte-Pilistio.
28 Therefore, Saul turned back, ceasing in the pursuit of David, and he traveled to meet the Philistines. For this reason, they called that place, the Rock of Division.
Aa le nimpoly t’i Saole tsy nañoridañe i Davide fa nionjomb’ amo nte-Pilistio mb’eo; aa le natao Sela-Kamalekote i toetsey.
29 Then David ascended from there, and he lived in very secure places in Engedi.
Nionjoñe boak’ ao t’i Davide vaho nimoneñe an-kijoli’ i En-gedy ao.
