2 Sa:miuele 1
1 Solo da bogoloba, Da: ibidi da A: malege fi dunu ilima hasalasilalu, Sigela: ge moilai bai bagadega buhagili, eso aduna esalu.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Amalalu, diahabe goi ayeligi afae da Solo ea fisisu awali diasu amoganini manebe ba: i. Ea da: i dioi dawa: digima: ne, e abula gadelale amola e da osobo ea dialuma da: iya duduli gala: i ba: i. E da Da: ibidima misini, ema nodone dawa: digima: ne osoboga beguduli diasa: i.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da habogainini misibala: ?” Ayeligi da bu adole i, “Na da Isala: ili ilia ha wa: i fisisu amoganini hobeale misi.”
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Di da gegei amo hou huluane nama adodole ima.” Ayeligi dunu da amane sia: i, “Ninia dadi gagui dunu da huluane gegesu amoba: le hobeale asi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia dunu da bagohame bogogia: i dagoi. Solo amola ea mano Yonada: ne da elegalu bogoi dagoi.”
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Da: ibidi da ema adole ba: i, “Di da Solo amola Yonada: ne ela bogoi da habodane dawa: bela: ?”
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Ayeligi da bu adole i, “Na da Giliboua agolo amo da: iya lela ba: i, Solo da ea gogega udidili lelebe ba: i, amola ha lai dunu ilia sa: liode, amola dunu ilia da hosi da: iya fila heda: i amola da gagadenena ahoanebe ba: i.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Amalu Solo da beba: loba, na ba: beba: le, e da nama wele sia: i. Na da bu ema adole i `Wae! Ada!’
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 E da na nowayale naba ba: i. Na da bu adole i, `Na da A: malege dunu.’
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Amalu e da amane sia: i, `Di da guiguda: misini, na fane legema! Na da baligiliwane fane odahida: iba: le, na da bogomu gadenei esala.’
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Amaiba: le, na da ema gadenena heda: le, e fane legei dagoi. Bai na dawa: loba ea bogomu asigi dawa: su amo gisigisia, bogomu agoane ba: i. Amanoba na da ea dialuma da: iya habuga amola ea lobofasele fei huluane lale, dima gaguli misi wea!”
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Da: ibidi da da: i dione fofagiba: le, ea abula huluane gagadelai. Amola ea fi dunu ilia da amo defele ilila: abula gagadelai.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 Ilia da Hina Gode Ea fi Isala: ili dunu bagohame amola Solo amola Yonada: ne ilia da bogogia: i amo dawa: beba: le, ilia da ha: i mae nawane didigia: lala soge gasi.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 Da: ibidi da amo sia: gaguli misi ayeligi ema adole ba: i, “Di da nowa fi dunula: ?” E da bu adole i, “Na da A: malege fi dunu, be amomane na da soge dia ouligi amo ganodini esala.”
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Abuliba: le di da Hina Gode Ea ilegei Hina bagade amo fane legemu amo hame beda: bela: ?”
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Amalu, Da: ibidi da ea dunu afae misa: ne sia: i, amalu ema amane sia: i, “Goe dunu fane legema!” Amabeba: le, e da amo ayeligi fane legei dagoi.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 Amola Da: ibidi da A: malege dunu bogolala amo ba: lu, e da amane sia: i, “Di bogoma: ne di fawane olela misi dagoi. Di da Hina Gode Ea ilegei hina bagade amo dia fane legei sia: i dagoiba: le, di fawane da dima bogoma: ne fofada: i dagoi.”
17 Da: ibidi da Solo amola egefe Yonada: ne elama asigili, goe fofagini disu gesami hea: i.
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 Amola Da: ibidi da amo gesami ilia da Yuda dunu fi huluane ilima olelema: ne sia: i. (Amo gesami da Ya: isia Buga ganodini dialoma: ne dedene legei.)
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 “Isala: ili agolo amo da: iya ninia ouligisu dunu da bogogia: i dagoi. Ninia gasa bagadedafa dadi gagui dunu bagohame da amogai dafane bogoi dagoi.
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Ga: de moilai bai bagadega amola Asegelone logoga maedafa adole gama. Filisidini uda ilia hahawane nodosa: besa: le, mae adole gama. Wadela: i fi ilia idiwi ilia gadele osa: besa: le, mae sia: ma.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Giliboua agolo amoga da gibu amola oubi mogele hamedafa sa: imu da defea. Giliboua bugili nasu soge amoga ha: i manu hamedafa heda: mu da defea. Ninia gasa bagade dadi gagui dunu ilia ibidigi da ilia gogosiasu olelema: ne amogai diafula. Be Solo ea ibidigi da doga: le susuligi amoga legesu, be wali da hame legesa.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Yonada: ne ea dadi da giolasi galu. Be Solo ea gegesu gobihei sedadega mae dawa: le, buluduli fane legele, maga: me bususu dawa: i.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Solo amola Yonada: ne ela da noga: idafa amola hahawanedafa galu. Ele galu esalu, amola ele galu bogoi. Ela da buhiba ea hagili ahoasu baligi, amola elea gasa da laione wa: me ea gasa baligi dagoi.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Dilia Isala: ili uda! Dilia huluane Soloma asigiba: le dadawa: loma. E da dilima abula yoi noga: idafa dilima ga: ma: ne i. Amola e da dili nina: hamoma: ne, gouli amola igi ida: iwane dilima iasu.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Ninia gesa: i dadi gagui dunu ilia da dafane bogogia: i. Ilia da gegenana bogogia: i. Yonada: ne da agolo amoga dafane bogoi diala.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Naeya Yonada: ne! Na da diha fofagini disa. Di da na dogolegeidafa galu. Amola di da nama dogolegeidafa galu. Dia nama dogolegesu hou da udama magedasu hou amo da baligili ba: su.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Gesa: i dadi gagui da dafane bogoi dagoi. Ilia gegesu liligi da udigili fisili, gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sa.”
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
