1 Samuel 20
1 David ran from Naioth in Ramah to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done? What is my wrong have I done? What terrible thing have I done to your father that he wants to kill me?”
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sá kúrò ní Naioti ti Rama ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Jonatani ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni mo ṣe? Kí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi? Báwo ni mo ṣe ṣẹ baba rẹ, tí ó sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti gba ẹ̀mí mi?”
2 “Nothing!” Jonathan replied. “You're not going to die! Listen! My father tells me everything he's planning, whatever it is. Why would my father keep something like this from me? It's not true!”
Jonatani dáhùn pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ìwọ kò ní kú! Wò ó baba mi kì í ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó tóbi tàbí tí ó kéré, láìfi lọ̀ mí. Èéṣe tí yóò fi fi èyí pamọ́ fún mi? Kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀.”
3 But David swore an oath again, saying, “Your father knows very well that I'm your friend, and so he's told himself, ‘Jonathan can't find out about this, otherwise he'll be really upset.’ I swear on the life of the Lord, and on your own life, my life is hanging by a thread.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi tún búra, ó sì wí pé, “Baba rẹ mọ̀ dáradára pé mo rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jonatani kò gbọdọ̀ mọ èyí yóò sì bà á nínú jẹ́.’ Síbẹ̀ nítòótọ́ bí Olúwa ti wà láààyè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wà láààyè, ìgbésẹ̀ kan ni ó wà láàrín ìyè àti ikú.”
4 “Tell me what you want me to do for you and I'll do it,” Jonathan told David.
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣe, èmi yóò ṣe é fún ọ.”
5 “Well, the New Moon festival is tomorrow, and I'm meant to sit down and eat with the king. But if it's alright with you, I plan to go and hide in the field until the evening three days from now.
Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀la ni oṣù tuntun, mo sì gbọdọ̀ bá ọba jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó lọ láti fi ara pamọ́ lórí pápá títí di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
6 If your father does indeed miss me, tell him, ‘David had to urgently ask my permission to hurry down to Bethlehem, his hometown, because of a yearly sacrifice there for his whole family group.’
Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé baba rẹ bá fẹ́ mi kù, kí o sì wí fún un pé, ‘Dafidi fi tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ béèrè ààyè láti sáré lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu ìlú rẹ̀ nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe ẹbọ ọdọọdún ní ibẹ̀ fún gbogbo ìdílé rẹ̀.’
7 If he says, ‘That's fine,’ then there's no problem for me, your servant, but if he gets mad, you'll know he intends to do me harm.
Tí o bá wí pé, ‘Àlàáfíà ni,’ nígbà náà, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wà láìléwu. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá bínú gidigidi, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ dájú pé ó pinnu láti ṣe ìpalára mi.
8 So please treat me well, as you promised when you made a agreement with me before the Lord. If I've done wrong, then kill me yourself! Why take me to your father for him to do it?”
Ṣùgbọ́n ní tìrẹ ìwọ, fi ojúrere wo ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; nítorí tí ìwọ ti bá a dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú rẹ níwájú Olúwa. Tí mo bá jẹ̀bi, pa mí fún ara rẹ! Èéṣe tí ìwọ yóò fi fi mí lé baba rẹ lọ́wọ́?”
9 “Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “If I knew for certain that if my father had plans to harm you, don't you think I'd tell you?”
Jonatani wí pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ti mo bá ti gbọ́ tí baba mi ti pinnu láti pa ọ́ lára, ṣé èmi kò ní sọ fún ọ?”
10 “So who's going to let me know if your father gives you a nasty answer?” David asked.
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Ta ni yóò sọ fún mi tí baba rẹ̀ bá dá ọ lóhùn ní ohùn líle?”
11 “Come on, let's go out into the countryside,” Jonathan said. So they both of them went out into the countryside.
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a jáde lọ sórí pápá.” Nígbà náà wọ́n sì jáde lọ.
12 Jonathan said to David, “I promise by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will question my father by this time tomorrow or the day after. If things look good for you, I'll send a message to you and let you know.
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Mo fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli búra pé, èmi yóò rí i dájú pé mo gbọ́ ti ẹnu baba mi ní ìwòyí ọ̀la tàbí ní ọ̀túnla! Bí ó bá sì ní inú dídùn sí ọ, èmi yóò ránṣẹ́ sí ọ, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí o mọ̀?
13 But if my father plans to do you harm, then may the Lord punish me very severely, if I don't let you know by sending you a message so you can get away safely. May the Lord be with you, just as he was with my father.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí baba mi bá fẹ́ pa ọ́ lára, kí Olúwa kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Jonatani; tí èmi kò bá jẹ́ kí o mọ̀, kí n sì jẹ́ kí o lọ ní àlàáfíà. Kí Olúwa kí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà pẹ̀lú baba mi.
14 While I live, please show me trustworthy love like that of the Lord so I don't die,
Ṣùgbọ́n fi àìkùnà inú rere hàn mí bí inú rere Olúwa, níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo bá wà láààyè kí wọ́n má ba à pa mí.
15 and please don't ever remove your trustworthy love for my family, even when the Lord has removed every one of your enemies from the earth.”
Má ṣe ké àánú rẹ kúrò lórí ìdílé mi títí láé. Bí Olúwa tilẹ̀ ké gbogbo ọ̀tá Dafidi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.”
16 Jonathan made a solemn agreement with the family of David, saying, “May the Lord impose retribution on David's enemies.”
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani bá ilé Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú wí pé, “Olúwa yóò pe àwọn àti Dafidi láti ṣírò.”
17 Jonathan made David swear this once more by making an oath based on David's love for him, for Jonathan already loved David as he loved himself.
Jonatani mú kí Dafidi tún ìbúra ṣe nítorí ìfẹ́ tí ó ní sí i, nítorí tí ó fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti fẹ́ràn ara rẹ̀.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, “The New Moon festival is tomorrow. You'll be missed, because your place will be empty.
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Lọ́la ní ibi àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun, a yóò fẹ́ ọ kù, nítorí ààyè rẹ yóò ṣófo.
19 In three days time, go quickly to where you hid when all this started, and stay there beside the pile of stones.
Ní ọ̀túnla lọ́wọ́ alẹ́ lọ sí ibi tí o sá pamọ́ sí nígbà tí ìṣòro yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀, kí o sì dúró níbi òkúta Eselu.
20 I'll shoot three arrows to the side of it as if I were shooting at a target.
Èmi yóò ta ọfà mẹ́ta sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé mo ta á sí àmì ibìkan.
21 Then I'll send a boy and tell him, ‘Go and find the arrows!’ Now, if I say to him specifically, ‘Look, the arrows are this side of you; bring them over here,’ then I swear on the life of the Lord it's safe for you to come out—there's no danger.
Èmi yóò rán ọmọdékùnrin kan èmi yóò wí fún un wí pé, ‘Lọ, kí o lọ wá ọfà náà.’ Tí mo bá sọ fún un wí pé, ‘Wò ó, ọfà wọ̀nyí wà ní ibi báyìí ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ; kó wọn wá síbí,’ kí o sì wá, nítorí pé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wà ní ààyè, o wà ní àlàáfíà; kò sí ewu.
22 But if I tell the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are way past you,’ then you'll have to leave, for the Lord wants you to go away.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ fún ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, ‘Wò ó, àwọn ọfà náà ń bẹ níwájú rẹ,’ ǹjẹ́ máa bá tìrẹ lọ, nítorí Olúwa ni ó rán ọ lọ.
23 As for what you and I talked about, remember that the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”
Nípa ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi àti ìwọ jọ sọ, rántí Olúwa jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí láàrín ìwọ àti èmi títí láéláé.”
24 So David hid himself in the field. When the New Moon festival arrived, the king sat down to eat.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sá pamọ́ sínú pápá. Nígbà tí àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun sì dé, ọba sì jókòó láti jẹun.
25 He sat in his usual place by the wall opposite Jonathan. Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
Ọba sì jókòó gẹ́gẹ́ bí ipò o rẹ̀ ní ibi tí ó máa ń jókòó lórí ìjókòó tí ó wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ògiri, ní òdìkejì Jonatani, Abneri sì jókòó ti Saulu, ṣùgbọ́n ààyè Dafidi sì ṣófo.
26 Saul didn't say anything that day because he thought, “Something has probably happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—yes, he must be unclean.”
Saulu kò sọ nǹkan kan ní ọjọ́ náà, nítorí ó rò pé, “Nǹkan kan ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Dafidi láti jẹ́ kí ó di aláìmọ́ lóòtítọ́ ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́.”
27 But the second day, the day after the New Moon, David's place was still empty. Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to dinner either yesterday or today?”
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kejì, ní ọjọ́ kejì oṣù, ààyè Dafidi sì tún ṣófo. Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ọmọ Jese kò fi wá sí ibi oúnjẹ, lánàá àti lónìí?”
28 Jonathan answered, “David had to urgently ask my permission to go to Bethlehem.
Jonatani sì dáhùn pé, “Dafidi bẹ̀ mí tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ fún ààyè láti lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
29 He told me, ‘Please let me go, because our family is having a sacrifice in the town and my brother told me I had to be there. If you think well of me, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That's why he's absent from the king's table.”
Ó wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí n lọ, nítorí pé ìdílé wa ń ṣe ìrúbọ ní ìlú, àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n ọ̀n mi sì ti pàṣẹ fún mi láti wà níbẹ̀; tí èmi bá rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, jẹ́ kí n lọ láti lọ rí àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n mi.’ Ìdí nìyìí tí kò fi wá sí orí tábìlì oúnjẹ ọba.”
30 Saul got very angry with Jonathan and said, “You rebellious son of a whore! Don't you think I know that you prefer the son of Jesse? Shame on you! You're a disgrace to the mother who bore you!
Ìbínú Saulu sì ru sí Jonatani ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ̀tẹ̀ búburú yìí, ṣé èmi kò ti mọ̀ pé, ìwọ ti yan ọmọ Jese fún ìtìjú ti ara rẹ àti fún ìtìjú màmá rẹ tí ó bí ọ?
31 While the son of Jesse remains alive, you and your kingship are not secure. Now go and bring him here to me, for he has to die!”
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ọmọ Jese bá wà láààyè lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, a kì yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ìwọ tàbí ti ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí ránṣẹ́ kí o sì lọ mú un wá fún mi, nítorí ó gbọdọ̀ kú!”
32 “Why does he have to be put to death?” Jonathan asked. “What has he done?”
Jonatani béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi pa á? Kí ni ó ṣe?”
33 Saul threw his spear at Jonathan, trying to kill him, so he knew that his father definitely wanted David dead.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ju ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Jonatani láti gún un pa. Nígbà náà ni Jonatani mọ̀ pé baba rẹ̀ mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ fẹ́ pa Dafidi ni.
34 Jonathan left the table absolutely furious. He would not eat anything on the second day of the festival, for he was so upset by the shameful way his father had treated David.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jonatani sì fi ìbínú dìde kúrò ni ibi oúnjẹ, kò sì jẹun ni ọjọ́ kejì oṣù náà, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi fún Dafidi, nítorí pé baba rẹ̀ dójútì í.
35 In the morning Jonathan went to the field to the place he had agreed with David, and a young boy was with him.
Ó sì ṣe, ní òwúrọ̀ ni Jonatani jáde lọ sí oko ní àkókò tí òun àti Dafidi ti fi àdéhùn sí, ọmọdékùnrin kan sì wá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
36 He told the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running and Jonathan shot an arrow past him.
Ó si wí fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Sáré, kí o si wá àwọn ọfà tí èmi ó ta.” Bí ọmọdé náà sì ti ń sáré, òun sì tafà rékọjá rẹ̀.
37 When the boy got to the place where Jonathan's arrow had landed, Jonathan shouted to him, “Isn't the arrow farther past you?
Nígbà tí ọmọdékùnrin náà sì dé ibi ọfà tí Jonatani ta, Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà ó sì wí pé, “Ọfà náà kò ha wà níwájú rẹ bi?”
38 Hurry up! Do it quickly! Don't wait!” The boy picked up the arrows and took them back to his master.
Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, “Sáré! Yára! Má ṣe dúró!” Ọmọdékùnrin Jonatani sì ṣa àwọn ọfà náà, ó sì tọ olúwa rẹ̀ wá.
39 The boy didn't suspect anything—only Jonathan and David knew what it meant.
(Ọmọdékùnrin náà kò sì mọ̀ nǹkan; ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani àti Dafidi ni ó mọ ọ̀ràn náà.)
40 Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and said, “Take these back to town.”
Jonatani sì fi apó àti ọrun rẹ̀ fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ, kí o sì mú wọn lọ sí ìlú.”
41 After the boy had gone, David got up from beside the pile of stones, fell facedown to the ground, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and cried together as friends, though David cried the hardest.
Bí ọmọdékùnrin náà ti lọ tán, Dafidi sì dìde láti ibi ìhà gúúsù òkúta náà, ó sì wólẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba ní ìdojúbolẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta fún Jonatani, wọ́n sì fi ẹnu ko ara wọn lẹ́nu, wọ́n sì jùmọ̀ sọkún, èkínní pẹ̀lú èkejì rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi sọkún púpọ̀ jù.
42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn a solemn oath in the name of the Lord. We said, ‘The Lord will be a witness between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to town.
Jonatani sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà, bí o ti jẹ́ pé àwa méjèèjì tí jùmọ̀ búra ni orúkọ Olúwa pé, ‘Ki Olúwa ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, láàrín irú-ọmọ mi àti láàrín irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ láéláé.’” Òun sì dìde, ó sì lọ kúrò: Jonatani sì lọ sí ìlú.
