1 Samuel 24
1 After Saul had returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
Nígbà tí Saulu padà kúrò lẹ́yìn àwọn Filistini a sì sọ fún un pé, “Wò ó, Dafidi ń bẹ́ ni aginjù En-Gedi.”
2 So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to look for David and his men in the region of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
Saulu sì mú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta akọni ọkùnrin tí a yàn nínú gbogbo Israẹli ó sì lọ láti wá Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ lórí òkúta àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó.
3 Soon Saul came to the sheepfolds along the road, where there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself. And David and his men were hiding in the recesses of the cave.
Ó sì dé ibi àwọn agbo àgùntàn tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà, ihò kan sì wà níbẹ̀, Saulu sì wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ láti bo ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ lẹ́bàá ihò náà.
4 So David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do with him as you wish.’” Then David crept up secretly and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, èyí ni ọjọ́ náà tí Olúwa wí fún ọ pé, ‘Wò ó, èmi fi ọ̀tá rẹ lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ ó sì ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ lójú rẹ.’” Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì yọ́ lọ gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
5 Afterward, David’s conscience was stricken because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn èyí, àyà já Dafidi nítorí tí ó gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
6 So he said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”
Òun sì wí fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Èèwọ̀ ni fún mi láti ọ̀dọ́ Olúwa wá bí èmi bá ṣe nǹkan yìí sí ẹni tí a ti fi àmì òróró Olúwa yàn, láti nawọ́ mi sí i, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni.”
7 With these words David restrained his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.
Dafidi sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí dá àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ dúró, kò sì jẹ́ kí wọn dìde sí Saulu, Saulu sì dìde kúrò ní ihò náà, ó sì bá ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ.
8 After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed facedown in reverence
Dafidi sì dìde lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì jáde kúrò nínú ihò náà ó sì kọ sí Saulu pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba!” Saulu sì wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Dafidi sì dojú rẹ́ bo ilẹ̀ ó sì tẹríba fún un.
9 and said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’?
Dafidi sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ fi ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn pé, ‘Wò ó, Dafidi ń wa ẹ̀mí rẹ́’?
10 Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’
Wò ó, ojú rẹ́ rí i lónìí, bí Olúwa ti fi ìwọ lé mi lọ́wọ́ lónìí nínú ihò, àwọn kan ní kí èmi ó pa ọ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi dá ọ sí, ‘Èmi sì wí pé, èmi kì yóò nawọ́ mi sí olúwa mi, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni òun jẹ́.’
11 See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. See and know that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, baba mi, wò ó, àní wo etí aṣọ rẹ lọ́wọ́ mi; nítorí èmi gé etí aṣọ rẹ, èmi kò sì pa ọ́, sì wò ó, kí o sì mọ̀ pé kò sí ibi tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi kò sì ṣẹ̀ ọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń dọdẹ ẹ̀mí mi láti gbà á.
12 May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.
Kí Olúwa ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, àti kí Olúwa ó gbẹ̀san mi lára rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n, ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
13 As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òwe ìgbà àtijọ́ ti wí, ìwà búburú a máa ti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú jáde wá; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?
“Nítorí ta ni ọba Israẹli fi jáde? Ta ni ìwọ ń lépa? Òkú ajá, tàbí eṣinṣin?
15 May the LORD be our judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from your hand.”
Kí Olúwa ó ṣe onídàájọ́, kí ó sì dájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, kí ó sì gbèjà mi, kí ó sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ.”
16 When David had finished saying these things, Saul called back, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Dafidi sì dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún Saulu, Saulu sì wí pé, “Ohùn rẹ ni èyí bí, Dafidi ọmọ mi?” Saulu sì gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sọkún.
17 and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded you with evil.
Ó sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ìwọ ṣe olódodo jù mí lọ; nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìre san án fún mi, èmi fi ibi san án fún ọ.
18 And you have shown this day how well you have dealt with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.
Ìwọ sì fi oore tí ìwọ ti ṣe fún mi hàn lónìí: nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé, Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí mi lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ kò sì pa mí.
19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go away unharmed? May the LORD reward you with good for what you have done for me this day.
Nítorí pé bí ènìyàn bá rí ọ̀tá rẹ̀, ó lè jẹ́ kí ó lọ ní àlàáfíà bí? Olúwa yóò sì fi ìre san èyí ti ìwọ ṣe fún mi lónìí.
20 Now I know for sure that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.
Wò ó, èmi mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, nítòótọ́ ìwọ ó jẹ ọba, àti pé ìjọba Israẹli yóò sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ.
21 So now, swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s house.”
Sì búra fún mi nísinsin yìí ní orúkọ Olúwa, pé, ìwọ kì yóò gé irú-ọmọ mi kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, àti pé, ìwọ kì yóò pa orúkọ mi run kúrò ní ìdílé baba mi.”
22 So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Dafidi sì búra fún Saulu. Saulu sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ sí ihò náà.
