2 Samoela 21
1 Ie amy zao, san-kerè telo taoñe ty nifanonjohy tañ’ andro’ i Davide, le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Davide: le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà: I Saole naho i anjomba’e aman-dioy, ie nanjamañe o nte-Giboneo.
There was a famine in David's time for three years in a row, and David sought the face of Yahweh. So Yahweh said, “This famine is on you because of Saul and his murderous family, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 Kinanji’ i mpanjakay amy zao o nte-Giboneo, le hoe re tam’ iereo—toe tsy ana’ Israele o nte-Giboneo fa sehanga’ o nte-Amoreo; toe nifanta am’ iereo o ana’ Israeleo, fe nipay hanjamañe iereo t’i Saole amy fahimbaña’e amo ana’ Israeleo naho Iehodaoy—
Now the Gibeonites were not from the people of Israel; they were from what remained of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul tried to kill them all anyway in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.
3 le hoe t’i Davide amo nte-Giboneo: Ino ty hanoeko ho anahareo? naho akore ty hampanintsiñako hitatà’ areo ty lova’ Iehovà?
So King David called together the Gibeonites and said to them, “What should I do for you? How can I make atonement, so that you may bless the people of Yahweh, who inherit his goodness and promises?”
4 le hoe o nte-Giboneo tama’e: Tsy iozàm-bolafoty ndra volamena ty añivo’ay naho i Saole, ndra i anjomba’ey; le tsy mipay ty hamonoañe ndra iaia amo ana’ Israeleo zahay. Aa le hoe re: Saontsio’ areo fa hanoeko.
The Gibeonites responded to him, “It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his family. In the same way it is not for us to put to death any man in Israel.” David replied, “What are you saying that I should do for you?”
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo i mpanjakay: Indaty ho namongotse anay naho nikinia raty anay t’ie ho fongoreñe tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e an-tane Israeley,
They answered the king, “The man who tried to kill us all, who schemed against us, so that we are now destroyed and have no place within the borders of Israel—
6 le ee te hasese ama’ay ty ana-dahi’e fito haradorado’ay am’ Iehovà e Gibà’ i Saole ao, i jinobo’ Iehovày. Haseseko iereo, hoe i mpanjakay.
let seven men from his descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the one chosen by Yahweh.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
7 Fe napo’ i mpanjakay t’i Mefibosete, ana’ Ionatane, ana’i Saole, ty amy fañina nifanoa’ iareo am’ Iehovày; i nanoe’ i Davide naho Ionatane ana’ i Saoley.
But the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of Yahweh's oath between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
8 Rinambe’ i mpanjakay ty ana-dahy roe’ i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, ze nasama’e amy Saole, i Armoný naho i Mefibosete naho ty ana-dahi’ i Mikale lime, anak’ ampela’ i Saole, nasama’e amy Adriele, ana’ i Bartsilaý nte-Mekolà;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 le nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Giboneo naho naradorado’ iareo amy vohitsey añatrefa’ Iehovà vaho nitrao-pihotrake i fito rey, an-tsam-pitatahañe ty namonoañe iareo, amo andro valoha’eo, am-pamotoram-pitataham-bare hordea.
He handed them over into the hands of the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and they died all seven together. They were put to death during the time of harvest, during the first days at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Nandrambe lamban-gony t’i Ritspà, ana’ i Aià, vaho nalafi’e amy vatoy boak’ am-pifotora’ i fitatahañey am-para’ te nidoañan’ orañe boak’ andikerañey; le tsy napo’e hipetak’ am’ iereo o voron-tiokeo naho handro, ndra o bibin-kivokeo naho haleñe.
Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals by night.
11 Natalily amy Davide ty nanoe’ i Ritspà’ anak’ ampela’ i Aià, sakeza’ i Saole.
It was told to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the slave wife of Saul, had done.
12 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Davide nangalake o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo amo nte-Iabses-Giladeo, o nikizoe’ iereo boak’ an-kiririsa’ i Bete-saneo, o nampiradoradoe’ o nte-Pilistio tañ’ andro nanjevoa’ o nte-Pilistio i Saole e Gilboao;
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed Saul in Gilboa.
13 le nendese’e boak’ añe o taola’ i Saoleo naho o taola’ Ionatane ana’eo; vaho natonto’ iareo o taola’ i naradorado reio.
David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.
14 Nalente’ iareo an-tane’ i Beniamine e Zelà, an-kibori’ i Kise rae’e o taola’ i Saole naho Ionataneo; le nanoeñe iaby ze nandilia’ i mpanjakay. Ie heneke, le nihalalieñe aman’ Añahare i taney.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that God answered their prayers for the land.
15 Nialy amy Israele indraike o nte-Pilistio; le nizotso mb’eo t’i Davide rekets’ o mpitoro’eo, nifandraparapak’ amo nte-Pilistio; le niha-dazidazìtse t’i Davide.
Then the Philistines went to war again with Israel. So David went down with his army and fought against the Philistines. David was overcome with battle fatigue.
16 Teo amy zao t’Isbibenobe raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy abo mpinday lefoñe nilanja telonjato sekelen-torisikeio, nisikiñe fikalañe vao, le nimanea’e zevo t’i Davide.
Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of the giants, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was armed with a new sword, intended to kill David.
17 Fe nañolotse aze t’i Abisay ana’ i Tseroià le linafa’e i nte-Pilistiy vaho vinono’e. Aa le namantok’ amy Davide ondati’eo, ty hoe: Tsy hitraok’ ama’ay an-kotakotake ka rehe, tsy mone hakipe’o ty failo’ Israele.
But Abishai son of Zeruiah rescued David, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You must not go to battle anymore with us, so that you do not put out the lamp of Israel.”
18 Ie heneke zay, le poake indraik ty aly amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe; zinevo’ i Sibekaý nte-Kosà t’i Safe, raik’ amo ana’ i fanalolahy aboio.
It came about after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob, when Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaim.
19 Ie nifañotakotak’ amo nte-Pilistio e Gobe añe indraike, le zinevo’ i Elkanane nte-Betlekheme t’i Goliate nte-Gitý, nihambañe ami’ty vatrìtra i taran-defo’ey.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Ie añe, nifandrapak’ añ’aly indraike e Gate ao; teo ty fanalolahy nijoalajoala, songa aman-drambo’e eneñe o fità’eo naho eneñe ka o rambom-pandia’eo, roapolo-efats’ amby ty fitontoña’ iareo; nisamahem-panalolahy abo ka.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
21 Ie nikizake Israele, le linafa’ Ionatane ana’ i Simea; rahalahi’ i Davide.
When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Songa nisamahe’ i fanalolahy abo nte-Gatey i efatse rey, nikorovok’ am-pità’ i Davide naho am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo.
These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
