Nifìly An’i Davida Andranahare

HITANAO va raha miseho etoa io? Nanavotse anak’aondry kelikele io tsy hohanin’orsa ajà lahilahy io. Niavy orsa iny nangalake anak’aondry io, ka ho nihina aze. Fe nanorike an-droze baka afara ato, ajà lahilahy io, ka nanavotse anak’aondry io tam-bavan’orsa io teny. Laha fa nitsanga orsa iny, le nosamborin’ajà lahilahy io, ka novonòne! Fa nanavotse anak’aondry tsy hohani’ty liona kea ie, ndraike andro. Tsy hitanao hoe matanjake va ajà lahilahy io? Hainao va hoe ia io?

Davida io. Nipetrake ta-Betlehema tany ie. Obeda ty anara’ty razane lahilahy. Anake lahin’i Rota noho Boaza, Obeda zao. Tiaronao va roze? Jese ty anara baban’i Davida. Nazoto nikarakara ty aondri’ty babane Davida. Folo tao tafara’ty nifilianan’i Jehovah an’i Saoly ho mpanjaka, vo naterake Davida.

Avy ty fotoa niresahan’i Jehovah tamin’i Samoela hoe: ‘Mangalà menake miavake iha, ka ndahàna ho an-tranon’i Jese a-Betlehema ane. Nifìly ty anake lahine raike aho mba ho mpanjaka.’ Ka, laha fa nahita an’i Eliaba, talanolon’i Jese Samoela, le nivòla hoe: ‘Inoako fa toy aze nofilìn’i Jehovah zao.’ Fe nivòla tamine Jehovah hoe: ‘Ka manenty ty halavane ndra ty hasoa tarehine, fa tsy nifìly aze ho mpanjaka aho.’

Nikaike ty anake lahine hafa atao hoe Abinadaba zay Jese, ka nandesine tamin’i Samoela teo. Fe nivòla Samoela hoe: ‘Aha, tsy nifìly aze kea Jehovah.’ Nandesin’i Jese teo kea Sama. ‘Tsy nifìly aze Jehovah’, hoy ty asan’i Samoela. Nandesin’i Jese tamin’i Samoela teo iaby ty anake lahine fito, fe tsy nifìly ndra ty raike tamin-droze Jehovah. Nanontany Samoela hoe: ‘Fa reo iaby va ty anake lahinao?’

‘Mbo misy raike faralahy zay ty ane’, hoy Jese. ‘Fe tsy eo ie, fa nandeha niarake aondry.’ Laha fa nandesy teo kea Davida, le hitan’i Samoela fa tovolahy soa. ‘Io ro ie’, hoy Jehovah. ‘Ailìno amine eo menake io.’ Nataon’i Samoela raha zay. Ho avy ty fotoa haha-mpanjaka an’i Davida amin’Israely eo.
