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: ?”
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks 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.”
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide 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.”
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favour in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
4 Yonada: ne da amane sia: i, “Na da dia adi liligi hamoma: ne sia: sea, hamomu.”
Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even 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.
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at 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 misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the 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 says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is 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: ?”
Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should 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.”
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
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 David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
11 Yonada: ne bu adole i, “Ani soge genebogelaga ahoa: di.” Amalu, ela da asi.
Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both 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.
Jonathan said to David, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good towards David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?
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.
The LORD do so to Jonathan and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has 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,
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I not die;
15 dia na sosogo mae yolesili gebewane dialoma: ma. Amola Hina Gode da dia ha lai huluane gugunufinisisia,
but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface 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 David’s house, saying, “The LORD will 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.
Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to 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 him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your 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.
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Amalu na da igadunuma: gala: su defele, gele gegedole legei amoma dadiga udiana gala: mu.
I will shoot three arrows on its side, 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.
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as the LORD 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.
But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.
23 Amola ania da sema ani dabele ilegei amo da Hina Gode Ea da dafawane ani gebewane gagulaligili dialoma: mu.”
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”
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. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself 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.
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, 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: ?”
Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is 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: ?”
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
28 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “E da Bedelehemega masusa: nama adole boba: i.
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to 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,”
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favour in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to 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!
Then Saul’s anger burnt against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your 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 as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
32 Yonada: ne da bu adole, “E da abuliba: le bogoma: bela: ? E da adi hamobela: ?”
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be 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.
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined 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.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
35 Amalu, hahabe Yonada: ne da yolaia Da: ibidima doaga: musa: asi, ele sia: i amo defele hamomusa: , e da goi afae oule asi.
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy 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.
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Goi da asili, dadi bugilasa: ia amogai doaga: loba, Yonada: ne da ema wele sia: i, “Dadi da afae gusuwane!
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
38 Hedolo! Gogai udigili mae leloma!” Goi da dadi gaguia gadole, e ouligisu dunuma gaguli misi.
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy 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 boy didn’t know anything. 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.
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to 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.
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
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.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
