2 Samuel 1
1 And so it was, after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the smiting of the Amalekites, and David had abode in Ziklag two days,
Ie fa vilasy t’i Saole naho fa nimpoly amy fanjamana’e o nte-Amalekeoy t’i Davide, naho fa nitoboke roe andro e Tsiklage t’i Davide,
2 yea so it was, on the third day, that lo! a man came out of the camp, from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head, —and so it was, when he came in unto David, that he fell to the earth, and did homage.
le pok’eo amy andro faha-teloy ty lahilahy boak’ an-tobe’ i Saole añe niriatse iaby o siki’eo, naho deboke ty añ’ambone’e; aa ie niheo mb’ amy Davide mb’eo, le nibabok’ an-tane niambane ama’e.
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel, am I escaped.
Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Boak’aia v’iheo? le hoe re ama’e, Nipoliotse boak’ an-tobe’ Israele ao.
4 And David said unto him—How turned out the matter? tell me, I pray thee. And he said—The people have fled from the battle, yea moreover, many, of the people have fallen, and died, Yea moreover, Saul, and Jonathan his son, are dead.
Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Manao akore i rahay? Ehe talilio. Le hoe re, Nifandripak’ amy hotakotakey ondatio, naho maro t’indaty nihotrake vaho nivetrake; songa nihomake t’i Saole naho Ionatane ana’e.
5 Then said David unto the young man who was telling him, —How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Le hoe t’i Davide amy ajalahy nitalily ama’ey: Akore ty ahafohina’o te nihomake t’i Saole naho Ionatane ana’ey?
6 And the young man who was telling him said, It, so happened, that I was on Mount Gilboa, when lo! Saul, leaning upon his spear, and lo! the chariots and horsemen, hotly pursued him;
Le hoe i ajalahy nitalily ama’ey: Zaho nitojeha’ an-kaboa’ i Gilboà eo, hehe te niato amy lefo’ey t’i Saole vaho nifanindry ama’e mafe o sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavalao.
7 so he turned behind him, and saw me, —and cried out unto me, and I said, Behold me!
Aa ie nitolike mañamboho le nioni’e raho, naho nikoiha’e, vaho vinaliko ty hoe: Intoy raho.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I said unto him, An Amalekite, am I.
Le hoe re tamako: Ia v’ iheo? le hoe ty natoiko: nte-Amaleke raho.
9 And he said unto me, I pray thee, take thy stand by me, and put me to death, for the cramp hath seized me, —even for as long as my life shall be in me.
Le hoe re tamako: Mijohaña añ’ ilako etoa, le vono, fa haoreañe ty mamihiñe ahy te mbe amako ty fiaiko.
10 So I took my stand by him, and put him to death, for I perceived that he could not survive his fall, —so I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them in unto my lord, here.
Aa le nijohañe añ’ ila’e eo raho naho vinonoko fa niantofako ty hatò te tsy ho velon-dre ie fa nihotrake eo; aa le rinambeko i sabaka’e añ’ ambone’ey naho i ravak’ am-pità’eoy vaho naseseko mb’amy talèko mb’etoa.
11 Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them, —yea moreover, [so did] all the men who were with him.
Finetre’ i Davide amy zao o siki’eo vaho niriate’e; nanao zay iaby ondaty nindre ama’eo,
12 And they lamented aloud, and wept, and fasted until the evening, —for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
nangoihoy ty rovetse, nililitse am-para’ te haleñe ho a i Saole naho Ionatane ana’ey naho ondati’ Iehovào, vaho ho a i anjomba’ Israeley, ie fonga zinevom-pibara.
13 And David said unto the young man who was telling him, Whence art thou? And he said, Son of a sojourner—an Amalekite, am I.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy ajalahiy: Boak’ aia rehe? le hoe ty natoi’e: Ana-drenetane nte-Amaleke raho.
14 And David said unto him, —How wast thou not afraid to thrust forth thy hand, to destroy the Anointed of Yahweh?
Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Aa vaho akore te ihe tsy nihembañe hañiti’ tañañe handrotsake i noriza’ Iehovày?
15 So David called one of the young men, and said, —Go near—fall upon him. And he smote him, that he died.
Kinanji’i Davide amy zao ty gaon-dahy, ami’ty hoe: Mb’eo kahe, iambotraho: Le vinono’e am-panjevoañe.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood, be upon thine own head, —for, thine own mouth, hath testified against thee, saying, I myself, put to death the Anointed of Yahweh.
Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: An-doha’o ty lio’o; fa nitalily azo ty vava’o ami’ty hoe: Zaho ty namono ty noriza’ Iehovà.
17 Then chanted David this dirge, —over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
Nirovetse t’i Davide ami’ty fandalà’e i Saole naho i ana’e Ionatane,
18 and he thought to teach the sons of Judah [the song of] the Bow, —lo! it is written in the Book of the Upright: —
vaho linili’e t’ie haoke amo ana’ Iehodao ty sabo atao ty hoe: I Faley. Ingo t’ie sinokitse am-boke’ Iasare ao:
19 The beauty of Israel! on thy high plumes—slain! How have fallen—the mighty!
Fa zinamañe an-kaboañe ey ty hatsomerentsere’ Israele! Akore ty fikorovoha’ o fanalolahio!
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.
Ko talilieñe e Gate ao, ko tseizeñe an-damo’ i Askelone ey; tsy mone hirebeke o anak’ ampela o nte-Pilistioo hera handia taroba o anak’ ampela’ o tsy nisavareñeoo.
21 Ye mountains in Gilboa! Be there neither dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of offerings, —for, there, were cast away, the shields of the mighty, The shield of Saul, unanointed with oil.
O ry haboa’ i Giboà, ee t’ie tsy hivotrahan-jono ndra orañe, ndra teteke miregorego voa soa; amy te ao ty nañifihañe an-tsereheñe ty fikala’ o maozatseo, ty fikalan-defo’ i Saole, hoe t’ie tsy norizañ’ an-tsolike.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan ne’er drew back, —and, the sword of Saul, ne’er returned, empty.
Boak’ ami’ty lio’ o zinamañeo, naho ami’ty havondra’ o fatratseo tsy nivike ty fàle’ Ionatane, tsy nimpoly mañomaño ty fibara’ i Saole.
23 Saul and Jonathan, delightfully loving in their lives, even, in their death, were not divided, —Beyond eagles, were they swift, beyond lions, were they strong!
I Saole naho Ionatane, ty hatsomerentsere’e naho ty hamaràm-bintañe t’ie niveloñe, mbe nifampipiteke iereo te nihomake; nalisa ta ty vantioñe, naozatse ta ty liona.
24 Ye daughters of Israel! For Saul, weep ye, —who clothed you in crimson, [decked] with lovely things, who hung ornaments of gold on your apparel!
O ry anak’ ampela’ Israele, mangololoiha ho a i Saole, i nampisikiñe anahareo mena naho ravoravo ila’ey, i nametake bange volamena an-tsaro’ areoy.
25 How have fallen the mighty, in the midst of the battle! Jonathan, on thy high places, slain!
Akore te nitsingoritritse an-teñateñan-kotakotak’ ao o maozatseo! Zinevo an-kaboañe ey t’Ionatane!
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother, Jonathan! Delightful to me, exceedingly, —Wonderful, was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
Mioremeñe raho ty ama’o ry Ionatane rahalahiko; nifanjàka amako; fiain-tane ty fikokoa’o ahy, mandikoatse ty hatea’ ampela.
27 How have fallen the mighty, and perished the weapons of war!
Akore ty fihotraha’ o fanalolahio, nirotsake o haraom-pialiañeo.
