1 Filisidini dunu da Giaila moilai amo doagala: lalu, gagoma gaheabolo fai amo wamolalu. Da: ibidi da amo sia: nabi.

And they declare to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-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!”

And David inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go? And have I struck among these Philistines?” And YHWH says to David, “Go, and you have struck among the Philistines, and saved 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 David’s men say to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, to the ranks 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.”

And David adds again to inquire of YHWH, and YHWH answers him and says, “Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving 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.

And David goes, and his men, to Keilah, and fights with the Philistines, and leads away their livestock, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and David saves the inhabitants of Keilah.

6 Abaia: da (Ahimelege egefe) da hobeale, Da: ibidima Giaila moilaiga madelaloba, e da ‘Ifode’ gaguli asi.

And it comes to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech to David, to Keilah, an ephod came down 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 it is declared to Saul that David has come to Keilah, and Saul says, “God has made him known for my hand, for he has been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.”

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 summons all the people to the battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to 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 David knows that Saul is devising the evil against him and says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod near.”

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 says, “YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account.

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!”

Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Does Saul come down as Your servant has heard? YHWH, God of Israel, please declare [it] to Your servant.” And YHWH says, “He comes 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 says, “Do the possessors of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH says, “They shut [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.

And David rises—and his men—about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and it has been declared to Saul that David has escaped from Keilah, and he ceases 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.

And David abides in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abides in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeks him [for] all the days, and God has not given him into his hand.

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 sees that Saul has come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.

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 son of Saul rises, and goes to David [in the] forest, and strengthens his hand 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 says to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of my father Saul does not find you, and you reign over Israel, and I am to you for second, and also so knows my father Saul.”

18 Ela da eso huluane dogolegele esaloma: ne sema ilegei. Da: ibidi da Houlese amoga esalu, amola Yonada: ne da hi diasuga asi.

And both of them make a covenant before YHWH; and David abides in the forest, and Jonathan has gone 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 go up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?

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.”

And now, by all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand 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 says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, for you have 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.

now go prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who has seen him there? For [one] has said to me, He is very cunning.

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.”

And see and know of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and you have turned back prepared to me, and I have gone with you, and it has been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through 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 they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.

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 go to seek, and they declare [it] to David, and he goes down the rock, and abides in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul hears, and pursues after David [to] 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 goes on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hurried to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are surrounding David and his men, to catch 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 has come to Saul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against 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.

And Saul turns back from pursuing after David, and goes to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place “The Rock of Divisions.”

29 Da: ibidi da amo soge yolesili, Enegedi sogega wamoaligimusa: asili, esalu.

And David goes up there, and abides in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
