1 Sa:miuele 23
1 Filisidini dunu da Giaila moilai amo doagala: lalu, gagoma gaheabolo fai amo wamolalu. Da: ibidi da amo sia: nabi.
And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.
2 Amaiba: le, e da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Na da asili Filisidini dunu doagala: ma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Ma! Ili doagala: ma amola Giaila gaga: ma!”
So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.
3 Be Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema amane sia: i, “Guiwane Yuda sogega da nini beda: ma: ne ha lai liligi defele gala. Be ninia da Giaila amoga Filisidini dadi gagui doagala: musa: ahoasea, baligili se nabimu.”
And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
4 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da bu Hina Godema adole ba: i. Amola Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Masa! Giaila moilaiga doagala: musa: masa! Bai Na da di Filisidini dunu hasalasimusa: hamomu.”
Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.
5 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da Giaila moilaiga asili, Filisidini dunuma doagala: i. Ilia da Filisidini dunu bagohame fane lelegele, ilia laigebo huluane sasamogei. Amowane, Da: ibidi da Giaila moilai gaga: i.
So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.
6 Abaia: da (Ahimelege egefe) da hobeale, Da: ibidima Giaila moilaiga madelaloba, e da ‘Ifode’ gaguli asi.
Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.
7 Solo da Da: ibidi da Giaila amoga asi nababeba: le, e amane sia: i, “Gode da Da: ibidi amo na gasaga fama: ne, nama i dagoi. Da: ibidi da gagili sali moilai amo ganodini asiba: le, hisu hi sanenesi dagoi.”
And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.
8 Amaiba: le, Solo da ea dadi gagui dunu gegemusa: misa: ne wele sia: i. Ilia da Giaila amoma doagala: le, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu amoga gagili salawane esalu, ilima gegemusa: dawa: i galu.
And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.
9 Da: ibidi da Solo ema doagala: musa: ilegelalu, amo nababeba: le, e da gobele salasu dunu Abaia: da ema amane sia: i, “Ifode amo goeguda: gaguli misa!”
And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.
10 Amalalu, Da: ibidi amane sia: i, “Isala: ili ilia Hina Gode! Na da nabi amo na hamobega, Solo da Giaila amoga misini, moilai wadela: lesimusa: ilegelala.
Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.
11 Amo hamosea, Giaila fi dunu da na Soloma ima: bela: ? Na nabi defele, Solo da misa: bela: ? Isala: ili Hina Gode! Na da Dima edegesa! Nama adole ima!” Hina Gode da amane adole i, “Solo da misunu!”
And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.
12 Da: ibidi da bu adole ba: i, “Giaila fi dunu da Solo samogema: ne, na ema ima: bela: ?” Hina Gode da adole i, “Ilia da di ema imunu!”
Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
13 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu (huluane da 600 agoane) da hedolowane Giaila yolesili, gadili ahoanu. Solo da Da: ibidi da Giaila amoga hobea: i, amo sia: nababeba: le, e da ea musa: ilegei yolesiagai.
Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.
14 Da: ibidi da agolo soge (wadela: i hafoga: i soge Sife moilai bai bagade gadenene gala) amo ganodini wamoaligi lalu. Solo da mae yolesili, Da: ibidi hogolalu. Be Hina Gode da Da: ibidi gaga: su.
And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
15 Da: ibidi e da Solo ea e medole legemu galebeya dawa: lebe, amo hi dawa: i galu. E da Houlese sogebi wadela: i hafoga: i soge Sife moilai bai bagade gadenene esalu.
And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.
16 Yonada: ne da Da: ibidi ea dogo denesima: ne, amola Gode da e gaga: ma: ne esala amo olelema: ne, amoga asi.
And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;
17 E da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Mae beda: ma! Na ada Solo da di wadela: lesimu hamedei ba: mu. E da noga: le dawa: , amo di da fa: no ea hina bagade sogebi lamu, amola na da dia baligia hina ba: mu.”
And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.
18 Ela da eso huluane dogolegele esaloma: ne sema ilegei. Da: ibidi da Houlese amoga esalu, amola Yonada: ne da hi diasuga asi.
And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.
19 Sife fi dunu mogili da Gibia moilaiga Soloma asili ema amane sia: i, “Da: ibidi da ninia soge Houlese amo ganodini wamoaligisa. E da Ha: sila Goumi amo Yuda soge ga (south) la: idili esala.
Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?
20 Hina bagade noga: idafa! Di da e gagulaligimu bagade hanai, amo ninia dawa: Amaiba: le, ninia sogega misa. Amasea, ninia da di amo dunu gagulaligima: ne, logo doasimu.”
So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.
21 Solo da ilima amane nodoi, “Dilia da nama asigiwane hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dilima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.
And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.
22 Dilia ea wamoaligisu bu noga: le ba: ma: ne masa. Nowa da e ba: i galea, amo hogoma. Bai ea ogogole dawa: digisu hou, amo na da nabi.
Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.
23 Ea wamoaligisu sogebi huluane noga: le hogolalu, nama sia: legema. Amasea, na da nini masunu. E da dilia sogea amogaiwane esalea, na da ema fa: no bobogele gagulaligimu. Hedolo hame ba: sea, na da Yuda soge huluanedafa hogomu.”
So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.
24 Amalalu, Sife fi dunu da yolesili, ilia da Solo bisili Sife sogega buhagi. Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da Ma: ione hafoga: i soge, wadela: i fago Yuda soge ga (south) la: ididili amoga esalebe ba: i.
And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.
25 Solo amola ea dunu da Da: ibidi hogola asi. Be Da: ibidi amo nababeba: le, gele agolo Ma: ione wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini diala, amoga asili esalu. Solo da Da: ibidi amo sogebia esalebe nabaloba, ema fa: no bobogemusa: asi.
And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.
26 Solo amola ea dunu da agolo la: idi esalu, amola Da: ibidi da agolo amogawane la: ididili esalebe ba: i. Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da hehenaia hobealebe ba: i. Bai Solo da ili gagulaligimu gadenene ba: i.
And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.
27 Be amoha, sia: ne iasu dunu da Soloma doaga: le, ema amane sia: i, “Wahadafa buhagima! Filisidini dunu da ninia sogega doagala: le, golili daha.”
But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.
28 Amaiba: le, Solo da Da: ibidi sefasilalu yolesili, buhagili, Filisidini dunuma gegemusa: asi. Amaiba: le, ilia da amo agolo dio “Afafasu Agolo” asuli.
So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.
29 Da: ibidi da amo soge yolesili, Enegedi sogega wamoaligimusa: asili, esalu.
And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
