< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
Lẹ́yìn ikú Saulu, Dafidi ti ibi tí ó ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Amaleki bọ̀, ó sì dúró ní Siklagi ní ọjọ́ méjì.
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹta, ọkùnrin kan dé láti ibi ibùdó Saulu, pẹ̀lú aṣọ rẹ̀ tí ó ti ya; àti erùpẹ̀ ní orí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi, ó wólẹ̀ fún un láti bu ọlá fún un.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
Dafidi sì béèrè pé, “Ibo ni ìwọ ti wá?” “Èmi sá láti ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
Dafidi béèrè pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” “Sọ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sá láti ojú ogun. Ọ̀pọ̀ wọn ṣubú, wọ́n sì kú. Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin Jonatani sì kú pẹ̀lú.”
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
Nígbà náà, ní Dafidi sọ fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Báwo ni o ṣe mọ̀ pé Saulu àti ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ Jonatani ti kú.”
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
Ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sọ pé, “Mo wà ní orí òkè Gilboa níbẹ̀ ni Saulu fi ara tí ọkọ̀ rẹ̀, àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin sì ń lépa rẹ̀.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
Nígbà tí ó wò yíká, tí ó rí mí, ó pè mi, mo sì wí pé, ‘Kí ni mo lè ṣe?’
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
“Ó bi mí wí pé, ‘Ta ni ìwọ?’ “Mo dáhùn pé, ‘Ará a Amaleki.’
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
“Nígbà náà ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Dúró lórí ì mi kí o sì pa mí! Èmi wà nínú ìrora ikú, ṣùgbọ́n mo wà láààyè.’
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
“Nígbà náà, mo dúró lórí i rẹ̀, mo sì pa á nítorí mo mọ̀ wí pé, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣubú, kò le è yè mọ́. Mo sì mú adé tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀, idẹ tí ó wà ní apá a rẹ̀, mo sì kó wọn wá síbí fún olúwa mi.”
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
Nígbà náà ni, Dafidi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, di aṣọ wọn mú, wọ́n sì fà á ya.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Wọ́n ṣọ̀fọ̀, wọ́n sì sọkún, wọ́n sì gbààwẹ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́ fún Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani àti fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun Olúwa, àti fún àwọn ilé Israẹli, nítorí wọ́n ti ṣubú nípa idà.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
Dafidi sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Níbo ni ó ti wá?” O dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ àlejò ni mo jẹ́, ará Amaleki.”
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
Dafidi béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ kò fi bẹ̀rù láti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè láti fi pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa?”
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
Nígbà náà Dafidi pe ọ̀kan nínú ọkùnrin, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ, gbé e lulẹ̀!” Nígbà náà ó gbé e lulẹ̀, ó sì kú.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
Nítorí Dafidi wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ, nítorí ẹnu ara rẹ ni o fi sọ pé, ‘Mo pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.’”
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
Dafidi sì fi orin ọ̀fọ̀ yìí ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí Saulu àti lórí Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀,
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
Ó sì pàṣẹ pé kí a kọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda ní orin arò yìí tí ó jẹ́ ti ọrun (a kọ ọ́ sí inú ìwé Jaṣari):
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
“Ògo rẹ, Israẹli ni a pa ní òkè gíga rẹ. Wò bí àwọn alágbára ṣe ń ṣubú!
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
“Ẹ má ṣe sọ ọ́ ní Gati, ẹ má ṣe kéde rẹ̀ ní òpópónà Aṣkeloni, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Filistini má bá à yọ̀, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin aláìkọlà má ba à dunnú.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
“Ẹ̀yin òkè Gilboa, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe rí ìrì tàbí òjò, tàbí oko tí ó mú èso ọrẹ wá. Nítorí ibẹ̀ ni asà alágbára ti ṣègbé, asà Saulu, bí ẹni pé a kò fi òróró yàn án.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
“Ọrun Jonatani kì í padà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni idà Saulu kì í padà lásán, láì kan ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn tí a pa, àti ẹran àwọn alágbára.
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
Saulu àti Jonatani— ní ọjọ́ ayé, wọ́n fẹ́ràn ara, wọn sì dùn, ní ikú, wọn kò sì yà ara wọ́n. Wọ́n yára ju idì lọ, wọ́n lágbára ju kìnnìún lọ.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
“Ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin Israẹli, ẹ sọkún lórí Saulu, ẹni tí ó fi aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára wọ̀ yín, ẹni tí ó fi wúrà sí ara aṣọ yín.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
“Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú ní ojú ogun! Jonatani, ìwọ tí a pa ní òkè gíga.
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
Ọkàn mi gbọgbẹ́ fún ọ Jonatani arákùnrin mi; ìwọ ṣọ̀wọ́n fún mi. Ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi jẹ́ ìyanu, ó jẹ́ ìyanu ju ti obìnrin lọ.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
“Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú! Ohun ìjà sì ti ṣègbé!”
