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 flees from Naioth in Ramah, and comes, and says before Jonathan, “What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before your father, that he is seeking 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 says to him, “Far be it! You do not die; behold, my father does not do anything great or small and does not uncover my ear; and why does my father hide this thing from me? This [thing] is not.”
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.”
And David swears again and says, “Your father has certainly known that I have found grace in your eyes, and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he is grieved; and yet, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, but—as a step between me and death.”
4 Yonada: ne da amane sia: i, “Na da dia adi liligi hamoma: ne sia: sea, hamomu.”
And Jonathan says to David, “What does your soul [desire]? Command and I do it for you.”
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 says to Jonathan, “Behold, the new moon [is] tomorrow; and I certainly sit with the king to eat; and you have sent me away, and I have been hidden in a 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 your father looks after me at all, then you have said, David earnestly asked of me to run to his city of Beth-Lehem, for there [is] a sacrifice of the days 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 thus he says: Good; [there is] peace for your servant; and if it is very displeasing to him—know that the evil has been determined 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 you have done kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of YHWH with you—and if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why [is] this [that] you bring me to your 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 says, “Far be it from you! For I certainly do not know that the evil has been determined by my father to come on you, and I do not declare it to you.”
10 Amalalu, Da: ibidi da amane adole ba: i, “Dia ada da dima ougiliwane dabe sia: ne iasea, nowa da amo nama adoma: bela: ?”
And David says to Jonathan, “Who declares [it] to me? Or what [if] your father answers you sharply?”
11 Yonada: ne bu adole i, “Ani soge genebogelaga ahoa: di.” Amalu, ela da asi.
And Jonathan says to David, “Come, and we go out into the field”; and both of them go out 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 says to David, “YHWH, God of Israel, [is my witness]—when I search out my father about [this] time tomorrow [or] the third [day], and behold, [there is] good toward David, and I do not then send to you, and have uncovered your ear—
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.
thus YHWH does to Jonathan, and thus He adds; when the evil concerning you is good to my father, then I have uncovered your ear, and sent you away, and you have gone in peace, and YHWH is with you, as he was 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 not only while I am alive do you do the kindness of YHWH with me, and I do not die,
15 dia na sosogo mae yolesili gebewane dialoma: ma. Amola Hina Gode da dia ha lai huluane gugunufinisisia,
but you do not cut off your kindness from my house for all time, nor in YHWH’s cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.”
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 cuts [a covenant] with the house of David, and YHWH has sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
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 adds to cause David to swear, because he loves him, for he has loved him [as] the love [for] 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.
And Jonathan says to him, “Tomorrow [is] the new moon, and you have been looked after, for your seat is looked after;
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 on the third day you certainly come down, and have come to the place where you were hidden in the day of the work, and have remained near the stone of Ezel.
20 Amalu na da igadunuma: gala: su defele, gele gegedole legei amoma dadiga udiana gala: mu.
And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out at a mark for myself;
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 send the youth, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say to the youth at all, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of you—take them and come, for [there is] peace for you, and there is no [adverse] word—[as] YHWH lives.
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.
And if thus I say to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond you—go, for YHWH has sent you away;
23 Amola ania da sema ani dabele ilegei amo da Hina Gode Ea da dafawane ani gebewane gagulaligili dialoma: mu.”
as for the thing which you and I have spoken, behold, YHWH [is] between me and you for all time.”
24 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da soge genebogelaga wamoaligi. Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nabe amoga, hina bagade Solo da ha: i nabe amoga misi.
And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sits down by the food 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 sits on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan rises, and Abner sits at the side of Saul, and David’s place is looked after.
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: ?”
And Saul has not spoken anything on that day, for he said, “It [is] an accident; he is not clean—surely not clean.”
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 comes to pass on the second day of the new moon, that David’s place is looked after, and Saul says to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or today, to the food?”
28 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “E da Bedelehemega masusa: nama adole boba: i.
And Jonathan answers Saul, “David has earnestly asked [permission] from me [to go] to Beth-Lehem,
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 says, Please send me away, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother has given command to me himself, and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers; therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
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 burns against Jonathan, and he says to him, “Son of a perverse [woman] of rebellion! Have I not known that you are fixing on the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
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 lives on the ground you are not established, you and your kingdom; and now, send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.”
32 Yonada: ne da bu adole, “E da abuliba: le bogoma: bela: ? E da adi hamobela: ?”
And Jonathan answers his father Saul and says to him, “Why is he put to death? What has 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 casts the javelin at him to strike him, and Jonathan knows that it has been determined 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 rises from the table in the heat of anger, and has not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he has been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame.
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 comes to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goes out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] 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 says to his youth, “Now run, find the arrows which I am shooting”; the youth is running, and he has shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him.
37 Goi da asili, dadi bugilasa: ia amogai doaga: loba, Yonada: ne da ema wele sia: i, “Dadi da afae gusuwane!
And the youth comes to the place of the arrow which Jonathan has shot, and Jonathan calls after the youth, and says, “Is the arrow not beyond you?”
38 Hedolo! Gogai udigili mae leloma!” Goi da dadi gaguia gadole, e ouligisu dunuma gaguli misi.
And Jonathan calls after the youth, “Speed, hurry, do not stand”; and Jonathan’s youth gathers the arrows, and comes to his lord.
39 E da amo ea fedege hame dawa: i. Yonada: ne amola Da: ibidi elesu fawane amo fedege dawa: i galu.
And the youth has not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
40 Yonada: ne da ea gegesu liligi gigisa: le, goi ema iasisili, moilai fiaga gaguli masa: ne sia: i.
And Jonathan gives his weapons to the youth whom he has and says to him, “Go, carry into 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.
The youth has gone, and David has risen from Ezel, at the south, and falls on his face to the earth, and bows himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep with one another, until David exerted himself;
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 says to David, “Go in peace, in that we have sworn—the two of us—in the Name of YHWH, saying, YHWH is between me and you, and between my seed and your seed—for all time”; and he rises and goes; and Jonathan has gone into the city.
