1 Sa:miuele 23
1 Filisidini dunu da Giaila moilai amo doagala: lalu, gagoma gaheabolo fai amo wamolalu. Da: ibidi da amo sia: nabi.
David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing 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!”
Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and 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.”
David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. 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 enquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to 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.
David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Abaia: da (Ahimelege egefe) da hobeale, Da: ibidima Giaila moilaiga madelaloba, e da ‘Ifode’ gaguli asi.
When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an 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.”
Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that 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.
Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah 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!”
David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
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, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah 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 Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” 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!”
Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver 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, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going 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.
David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver 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.
David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness 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.
Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened 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.”
He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
18 Ela da eso huluane dogolegele esaloma: ne sema ilegei. Da: ibidi da Houlese amoga esalu, amola Yonada: ne da hi diasuga asi.
They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went 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 Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south 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, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
21 Solo da ilima amane nodoi, “Dilia da nama asigiwane hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dilima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.
Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion 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.
Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that 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.”
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out amongst 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.
They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
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.
Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued 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.
Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men 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 messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid 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 Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 Da: ibidi da amo soge yolesili, Enegedi sogega wamoaligimusa: asili, esalu.
David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
