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 told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns.
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 smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila.
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 that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the hands 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 he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy 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.
David therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila.
6 Abaia: da (Ahimelege egefe) da hobeale, Da: ibidima Giaila moilaiga madelaloba, e da ‘Ifode’ gaguli asi.
Now at that time, when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David to Ceila, he came down 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.”
And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city, that hath 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 commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, 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!”
Now when David understood, that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest: Bring hither 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, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake:
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 Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come 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!”
And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me, and my men, into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee 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, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore 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.
But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not 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 was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood.
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 arose, and went to David into the wood, and 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.”
Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth 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 made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: 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.
And the Ziphites went up to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand 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 come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him 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: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case.
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 therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for 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 see all his lurking holes, wherein he is bid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if be should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda.
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 arose and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon.
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 men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it he pursued after David in the wilderness 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 on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about 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.”
And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves 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.
Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place, the Rock of division.
29 Da: ibidi da amo soge yolesili, Enegedi sogega wamoaligimusa: asili, esalu.
Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi.
