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 Naioth, in Ramah, —and came in, and said before Jonathan—What have I done? What is my transgression, and what 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—Far be it! thou shalt not die. Lo! my father doeth nothing, great or small, without unveiling mine ear, —wherefore, then, should my father hide from me, this thing? There is, nothing, in this.
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 sware yet further, and said—Thy father, doth know, that I have found favour in thine eyes, therefore saith he, —Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he grieve; but, indeed, by the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, surely there is but as it were a step betwixt me and death!
4 Yonada: ne da amane sia: i, “Na da dia adi liligi hamoma: ne sia: sea, hamomu.”
And Jonathan said unto David, —Whatsoever thy soul shall desire, I will 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—Lo! the new moon, is to-morrow, and, I, must not sit with the king, to eat, —let me go then, and hide myself in the field, until the 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, enquire, for me, then shalt thou say—David, did ask leave, of me, to run to Bethlehem, his own city, for, a yearly sacrifice, [is to be held] 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, thus, he say—It is well, —thy servant shall have, peace, —but, if it, anger, him, know that harm hath 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: ?”
Thus shalt thou do a lovingkindness for thy servant, for, into a covenant of Yahweh, hast thou brought thy servant, with thee, —But, if there is in me transgression, put me to death, thyself, for, unto thy father, wherefore shouldst thou bring me in?
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! but, if I, get to know, that harm is determined by my father, to bring it upon thee, is not, that, the thing that I will tell 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 unto Jonathan, Who shall tell me, —if thy father answer thee aught that is, harsh?
11 Yonada: ne bu adole i, “Ani soge genebogelaga ahoa: di.” Amalu, ela da asi.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come! and let us go out into the field. And they two went 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.
Then said Jonathan unto David—Witness [be] Yahweh God of Israel, that I will sound my father about this time to-morrow or the third day, and lo! if there he good towards David, will I not, then, send unto thee, and unveil thine 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.
So, let Yahweh do unto Jonathan, and, so, let him add—when harm against thee seemeth good unto my father, then will I unveil thine ear, and let thee go, and thou shall depart in peace, —then Yahweh 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, not only while I yet live, shalt thou deal with me in the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I die not:
15 dia na sosogo mae yolesili gebewane dialoma: ma. Amola Hina Gode da dia ha lai huluane gugunufinisisia,
but thou shalt not cut off thy lovingkindness from my house, unto times age-abiding, —no! not when Yahweh hath cut off the enemies of David, every 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.”
Thus Jonathan solemnised a covenant with the house of David [saying], —So let Yahweh require it, at 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 again Jonathan sware unto David, by his love to him, —for, as he loved his own soul, so loved he him.
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 said Jonathan unto him—To-morrow, is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be 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 tarried three days, thou shalt come down quickly and enter the place, where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the deed, and shall remain by the side of this mound.
20 Amalu na da igadunuma: gala: su defele, gele gegedole legei amoma dadiga udiana gala: mu.
And, as for me—three arrows to the side, will I shoot, —as though I shot 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 lo! I will send the boy [saying], Go, find the arrow! If I, say, to the boy—Lo! the arrows, are on this side of thee—take them, then come, for there is peace for thee, and no cause [for fear], by the life of Yahweh.
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 say to the youth, Lo! the arrows are beyond thee, depart, for Yahweh hath sent thee away.
23 Amola ania da sema ani dabele ilegei amo da Hina Gode Ea da dafawane ani gebewane gagulaligili dialoma: mu.”
But, as touching the matter whereof we spake—I and thou, lo! Yahweh, be betwixt me and thee, unto times age-abiding.
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 had come, the king sat down to eat, food,
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.
yea the king sat down on his seat, as at other times, by the seat against the wall, and, when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, —but David’s place was 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: ?”
Saul, however, spake nothing that day, —for he said to himself—It is, an accident, he is, not clean, because he hath not been cleansed.
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 of the month, that David’s place was empty, —and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore hath not the son of Jesse come in, either yesterday or to-day, to meat?
28 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “E da Bedelehemega masusa: nama adole boba: i.
And Jonathan answered Saul, —David, asked leave, of me, [to go] as far as Bethlehem;
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 said—Let me go, I pray thee, for, a family sacrifice, have we in the city, and my brethren have commanded me, now, therefore, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me slip away, I pray thee, that I may see my brethren. For this cause, hath he not come in unto 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!
Then was Saul’s anger kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of rebellious perversity! do I not know that thou art, confederate, with the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and to the confusion of the shame of thy 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, as long as, the son of Jesse, liveth on the ground, thou wilt not be established, thou nor thy kingdom, Now, therefore, send and fetch him unto me, for, doomed to death, is he!
32 Yonada: ne da bu adole, “E da abuliba: le bogoma: bela: ? E da adi hamobela: ?”
And Jonathan responded to Saul his father, —and said unto him—Wherefore must 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 hurled his spear at him, to smite him. So Jonathan knew that it was, determined, of 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.
Jonathan therefore rose up from the table, in a glow of anger, —and did eat no food on the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had reviled him.
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 forth into the field, to the place appointed with David, —a little lad, being 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 to his lad—Run, find, I pray thee, the arrows which I am about to shoot. The boy, ran, but, he, shot the arrow 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 came as far as the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow, beyond, thee?
38 Hedolo! Gogai udigili mae leloma!” Goi da dadi gaguia gadole, e ouligisu dunuma gaguli misi.
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Haste thee—be quick, do not stay! so Jonathan’s lad picked up the arrows and brought [them] unto 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, nothing, 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.
So Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said to him, Go carry them 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.
As soon as, the lad, was gone, David, arose from beside the South, and fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself down three times, —and they kissed each other, and wept over each other, 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.
Then said Jonathan unto David—Go in peace, —[remembering] that, we, have both sworn in the name of Yahweh, saying, Yahweh shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, unto times age-abiding. And he arose, and departed, —and, Jonathan, entered the city.
