1 Sa:miuele 20
1 Amalu, Da: ibidi da Na: iode sogebi La: ima soge ganodini esalu, amoga hobeale, Yonada: nema asi. “Na da adi hamobela: ?” e da adole ba: i, “Na da adi wadela: i hou hamobela: ? Na da adi wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, dia ada da na fane legemusa: hanabela: ?”
And David fled from Nayoth near Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “Dia da wadela: i hame hamoi! Di da hame bogomu. Na ada da ea hamobe huluane, bagade amola fonobahadi amo nama olelesa. E da dima hamomu nama hame wamolegemu.”
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father is not wont to do a great thing or a small thing, which he doth not inform me of; and why should my father conceal this thing from me? it is not so.
3 Be Da: ibidi da bu adole i, “Dia ada da dia nama dogolegei noga: ledafa dawa: Amaiba: le, di da se nabasa: besa: le, e da na fane legemu ilegei dima hame adomusa: dawa: i. Na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le dima sia: sa! Na da bogomu gadeneidafa galu.”
But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.
4 Yonada: ne da amane sia: i, “Na da dia adi liligi hamoma: ne sia: sea, hamomu.”
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul sayeth will I do for thee.
5 Da: ibidi da bu adole i, “Aya da Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nasu gala. Na da hina bagade ani ha: i manu galu. Be dia defea galea, na da hawa: hamosu moilaia amoi wamo esaleawane, gasida daeya doaga: ma: ne ouesalumu.
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new-moon, and I should as usual sit with the king to eat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
6 Dia ada da na amo ea ha: i nasu fafai amoga hame esalebe ba: sea, ema amane sia: ma, ‘Da: ibidi da ea sosogo huluane ilia ode huluane gobele salasu Bedeleheme moilaiga masunu hanaiba: le, nama e masa: bela: le adole ba: i.’
If thy father at all miss me, then do thou say, David asked earnestly leave of me that he might run to Beth-lechem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 E da defea sia: sea, na da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Be e da ougisia, e da na wadela: ma: ne dawa: lala, amo dia dawa: ma.
If he should say thus, It is well: then shall thy servant have peace; but if it be at all displeasing to him, then know that the evil is determined on by him.
8 Di da amanewane na noga: le fidima. Amola sema ilegei dia nama hamoma: ne sia: i, amo dawa: loma. Be na da dafawane wadela: le hamoi ganiaba, diwane na fanelegema. Abulimusa: di adama na fanelegema: ne ema oule masa: bela: ?”
And do thou deal kindly with thy servant; for into a covenant of the Lord hast thou brought thy servant with thee; but if there be in me any iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?
9 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “Amanewane maedafa dawa: ma! Na da na ada ea di fane legema: ne dawa: lala ganiaba, na da dima adola: loba.”
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should know for certain that evil were determined on by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
10 Amalalu, Da: ibidi da amane adole ba: i, “Dia ada da dima ougiliwane dabe sia: ne iasea, nowa da amo nama adoma: bela: ?”
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell it me? or what, if thy father answer thee roughly?
11 Yonada: ne bu adole i, “Ani soge genebogelaga ahoa: di.” Amalu, ela da asi.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, let us go out into the field. And they went out, both of them, into the field.
12 Amalu Yonada: ne da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili ilia Hina Gode da anima ba: su dunu esala! Aya amola gasida wewaba, na da adama adole ba: mu. E dima sia: be amo noga: i galea, na da dima sia: sia: simu.
And Jonathan said unto David, May the God of Israel [punish me] if, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or of the third day, and, behold, if he be good toward David, I do not then send unto thee, and inform thee of it.
13 Be e da dima se imunu agoai ba: sea, amo amolawane na da dima olelemu, amola di gaga: iwane asunasiagamu. Na agoane hame hamosea, Hina Gode da na fane legemu da defea. Amola Hina Gode na adama galu amane ali ganumu.
May the Lord do so to Jonathan and continue so yet farther, that, if it please my father [to do] thee evil, I will inform thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and may the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 Amola na da mae bogole esalea, dafawane sema dia ilegei amo noga: le dawa: loma, amola na mae yolesima. Be na da bogosea,
And wilt thou not, should I be yet alive, show me the kindness of the Lord, that I may not die?
15 dia na sosogo mae yolesili gebewane dialoma: ma. Amola Hina Gode da dia ha lai huluane gugunufinisisia,
But, surely, thou wilt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever, not even when the Lord cutteth off the enemies of David, every one, from off the face of the earth.
16 amo hamomusa: dabele ilegei da mae mugululi dialoma: ma. Be di amo ani ilegei fisia, Hina Gode da dima se dabe imunu.”
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying, ] May the Lord require it at the hand of David's enemies.
17 Enowane, Yonada: ne da Da: ibidima sia: beba: le, Da: ibidi da ema dogolegeiwane esaloma: ne ilegei. Bai Yonada: ne da hina: da: ima asigibi defele Da: ibidima dogolegei.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Amalalu, Yonada: ne da ema amane sia: i, “Aya da Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nasu doaga: muba: le, dia da amoga hame heda: i ba: sea, dunu ilia da dawa: digimu.
Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be left empty.
19 Gasida amoga di da hamewane misi ba: sea, ilia da baligili dawa: digimu. Amaiba: le, di musa: wamoaligia amoga asili, gele gegedole legei amo baligia bu wamoaligima.
And when thou hast stayed till the third day, then shalt thou go down greatly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the work-day; and thou shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Amalu na da igadunuma: gala: su defele, gele gegedole legei amoma dadiga udiana gala: mu.
And I will myself shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I were shooting at a mark.
21 Amasea, na da na hawa: hamosu dunuma, e da amo dadi udiana hogola masa: ne adomu. Amola na da ema, ‘Ba: ma! Dadi da dima guidili diafula. Amo lidima!’ amane sia: sea di da gaga: iba: le, aliaguda: ma. Na da Esalebe Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le dafawane sia: sa. Di da se nabasu hamedafa ba: mu.
And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows; if I should now say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: then take him and come; for there is peace to thee, and it is nothing; as the Lord liveth.
22 Be na da ema, ‘Dadi da dima la: idi gadili galebe,’ amane sia: sea, di da masa. Bai Hina Gode da di ga masa: ne asunasiagasa.
But if thus I should say unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: then go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee off.
23 Amola ania da sema ani dabele ilegei amo da Hina Gode Ea da dafawane ani gebewane gagulaligili dialoma: mu.”
And touching the matter of which we have spoken, thou and I, behold, the Lord is between me and thee for ever.
24 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da soge genebogelaga wamoaligi. Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nabe amoga, hina bagade Solo da ha: i nabe amoga misi.
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new-moon was come, the king set himself down to the repast to eat.
25 E da dobea fei bega: hi musa: fisua amoi fi. A: bena da ela dafulili fi. Amola Yonada: ne da Soloma sisima: sodole fi. Be Da: ibidi ea fili sogebiga hame esalebe ba: i.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall: and when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, and David's place was left empty.
26 Be amo esoha, Solo da Da: ibidi hame ba: beba: le, sia: hame sia: i. Bai e dawa: loba, “Liligi da ema doaga: i, amola e da wadela: i ledo hamobela: ?”
Nevertheless Saul spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.
27 Be diahabe, Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nabe gesafo, Da: ibidi da gebewane ea fisuga hame esalebeba: le, Solo da Yonada: nema adole ba: i, “Abuliba: le Da: ibidi da aya amola wali lolo nabe wega hame misibala: ?”
And it came to pass on the morrow, the second day of the new-moon, that David's place was left empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore is the son of Jesse not come, both yesterday and today, to the repast?
28 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “E da Bedelehemega masusa: nama adole boba: i.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David asked earnestly leave of me to go as far as Beth-lechem.
29 E amane sia: i, ‘Dafawane na masa: ma! Bai na sosogo da Bedelehemega gobele salasu lolo manu. Amola na ola da na amoga masa: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, di da ani hamelegei galea, na sosogolali ba: la masa: ma!’ Amaiba: le, e da wali hi fisua amoi esalebe hame ba: sa,”
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family-sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself hath commanded it to me; and now, if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, that I may see my brothers: therefore is he not come unto the king's table.
30 Solo da Yonada: nema ougiliwane amane sia: i, “Dia fa mano! Waha na dawa: sa, di da Da: ibidimagale, amola di da diame ali galu gogosiama: ne hamosa!
And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of perverse rebelliousness! do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31 Dia hame dawa: bela: ? Da: ibidi da mae bogole esalebe ba: sea, amogalu di da Isala: ili sogega hina bagade sogebi lamu da hamedei ba: mu. Waha di asili, e gaguli goeguda: oule misa. E da bogoma: mu!”
For all the days that the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou wilt not have any permanence with thy kingdom: therefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
32 Yonada: ne da bu adole, “E da abuliba: le bogoma: bela: ? E da adi hamobela: ?”
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be put to death? what hath he done?
33 Amo galu, Yonada: ne bogoma: ne, Solo da goge agei Yonada: ne gala: i. Amabeba: le, Yonada: ne da eda ea Da: ibidi fane legemusa: dawa: i diala galebeya dawa: i.
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: and Jonathan understood that it was determined on by his father to put David to death.
34 Yonada: ne da fafai bega: esalu, bagadewane ougili wa: legadoi. Amo esoha da eso ageyadu Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nabe ganodini, amola amogala Yonada: ne da ha: i hame mai. E da Da: ibidi ea se nabasu dawa: beba: le, baligili bagadewane da: i dioi galu. Bai Solo da Da: ibidima ougili sisa: noi.
And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food on the second day of the new-moon; for he was grieved for David; because his father had made him feel ashamed.
35 Amalu, hahabe Yonada: ne da yolaia Da: ibidima doaga: musa: asi, ele sia: i amo defele hamomusa: , e da goi afae oule asi.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field to the place appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.
36 E da amo goi ema amane sia: i, “Dadi na gala: be we hehenaia asili lala masa!” Amo goi da hehenaloba, Yonada: ne da dadi amoga goi amo baligima: ne galagusui.
And he said unto his lad, Run, do find out the arrows which I shoot: and the lad ran, and he shot the arrow so as to pass beyond him.
37 Goi da asili, dadi bugilasa: ia amogai doaga: loba, Yonada: ne da ema wele sia: i, “Dadi da afae gusuwane!
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad, and said, Behold, the arrow is beyond thee!
38 Hedolo! Gogai udigili mae leloma!” Goi da dadi gaguia gadole, e ouligisu dunuma gaguli misi.
And Jonathan called after the lad, Make haste, speed, stay not: and Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 E da amo ea fedege hame dawa: i. Yonada: ne amola Da: ibidi elesu fawane amo fedege dawa: i galu.
But the lad knew not the least: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Yonada: ne da ea gegesu liligi gigisa: le, goi ema iasisili, moilai fiaga gaguli masa: ne sia: i.
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto the lad who was with him, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 Goi amo asili fa: no, Da: ibidi da gele gegedole legei baligia gadili amodili misini, muguni bugili, amola mi osoba gudu udiana agoane dia gugudui. Ele galu Da: ibidi amola Yonada: ne da ele gobele nonogosa dinanu. Amola Da: ibidi ea da: i diosu da Yonada: ne ea da: i diosu baligi.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from the south side [of the stone], and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 Amalu, Yonada: ne da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Gode da ali ganumu. Hina Gode da di amola na amola digaga fi amola nagaga fi ani dabele, ani hamomusia: ne sema ilegei noga: le ouligima: ne hamoma: mu.” Amalalu, Da: ibidi da asi. Amola Yonada: ne da moilaiga buhagi.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: what we have sworn, both of us, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever, [shall be kept]. And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
