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 reported to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the grain stores.”
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!”
Therefore, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and strike down these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go, and you shall strike down the Philistines, and you shall save Keilah.”
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 the men who were with David said to him, “Behold, we continue in fear here in Judea; how much more so, if we go into Keilah against the troops 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.”
Therefore, David consulted the Lord again. And responding, he said to him: “Rise up, and go into Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
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.
Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Abaia: da (Ahimelege egefe) da hobeale, Da: ibidima Giaila moilaiga madelaloba, e da ‘Ifode’ gaguli asi.
And in that time, when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, was in exile with David, he had descended to Keilah, having an ephod with him.
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.”
Then it was reported to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said: “The Lord has delivered him into my hands. For he is enclosed, having entered into a city which has gates and bars.”
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 instructed all the people to descend in order to fight against Keilah, and to besiege 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 when David had realized that Saul had secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest, “Bring 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.
And David said: “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has heard a report that Saul is planning to go to Keilah, so that he may overturn the city 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!”
Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands? And will Saul descend, just as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, reveal to your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will descend.”
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!”
And David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me, and the men who are with me, into the hands of Saul?” And the Lord said, “They will deliver you.”
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.
Therefore, David, and his men of about six hundred, rose up, and, departing from Keilah, they wandered here and there, aimlessly. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled from Keilah, and was saved. For this reason, he chose not to go out.
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.
Then David stayed in the desert, in very strong places. And he stayed on a mount in the wilderness of Ziph, on a shady mount. Nevertheless, Saul was seeking him every day. But the Lord did not deliver him 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 saw that Saul had gone out, so that he might seek his life. Now David was in the desert of Ziph, in the woods.
16 Yonada: ne da Da: ibidi ea dogo denesima: ne, amola Gode da e gaga: ma: ne esala amo olelema: ne, amoga asi.
And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him:
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.”
“Do not be afraid. For the hand of my father, Saul, will not find you. And you shall reign over Israel. And I will be second to you. And even my father knows this.”
18 Ela da eso huluane dogolegele esaloma: ne sema ilegei. Da: ibidi da Houlese amoga esalu, amola Yonada: ne da hi diasuga asi.
Therefore, they both struck a pact before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods. But Jonathan returned 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 ascended to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, is not David hidden with us in very secure places in the woods on the hill of Hachilah, which is to the right of the desert?
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.”
Now therefore, if your soul has desired to descend, then descend. Then it will be for us to deliver him into the hands of the king.”
21 Solo da ilima amane nodoi, “Dilia da nama asigiwane hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dilima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.
And Saul said: “You have been blessed by the Lord. For you have grieved for my situation.
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.
Therefore, I beg you, go forth, and prepare diligently, and act carefully. And consider the place where his foot may be, and who may have seen him there. For he thinks, concerning me, that I craftily plan treachery against him.
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.”
Consider and seek out all his hiding places, in which he may be concealed. And return to me with certainty about the matter, so that I may go with you. But if he would even press himself into the earth, I will search him out, amid all the thousands 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 rising up, they went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain to the right of Jeshimon.
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.
Then Saul and his allies went to seek him. And this was reported to David. And immediately, he descended to the rock, and he moved about in the desert of Maon. And when Saul had heard of it, he pursued David in the desert 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 went to one side of the mountain. But David and his men were on the other side of the mountain. Then David was despairing that he would be able to escape from the face of Saul. And Saul and his men enclosed David and his men in the manner of a crown, so that they might capture 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.”
And a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have poured themselves out upon 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.
Therefore, Saul turned back, ceasing in the pursuit of David, and he traveled to meet the Philistines. For this reason, they called that place, the Rock of Division.
29 Da: ibidi da amo soge yolesili, Enegedi sogega wamoaligimusa: asili, esalu.
Then David ascended from there, and he lived in very secure places in Engedi.
