1 Samuel 23
1 One day David heard the news, “The Philistines are attacking Keilah and stealing the grain from the threshing floors.”
Markaasaa Daa'uud loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Reer Falastiin waxay la dirirayaan reer Qeciilaah iyagoo ka dhacaya meelihii hadhuudhka lagu tumi jiray.
2 So he asked advice from the Lord, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” The Lord told David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud Rabbiguu wax weyddiistay oo yidhi, Miyaan tagaa oo kuwan reer Falastiin soo laayaa? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Tag, oo reer Falastiin soo laa, oo reer Qeciilaah soo badbaadi.
3 But David's men told him, “Even here in Judah we feel afraid. If we went to Keilah to fight the Philistine armies we'd be absolutely terrified!”
Markaasaa Daa'uud raggiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, annagu halkan oo ah dalka Yahuudah ayaan ku cabsanaynaa, haddaba intee in le'eg bay nooga sii daran tahay haddaannu Qeciilaah tagno oo ciidanka reer Falastiin ku duulno?
4 So David asked advice from the Lord again, and the Lord told him, “Go immediately to Keilah, for I will give you victory over the Philistines.”
Oo haddana mar kale ayaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiistay. Markaasaa Rabbigu ugu jawaabay, Kac, oo ku dhaadhac Qeciilaah, waayo, reer Falastiin gacantaadaan soo gelin doonaa.
5 Then David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. They slaughtered them and drove off their livestock. By doing this David saved the people of Keilah.
Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisiiba Qeciilaah tageen, oo reer Falastiin la dirireen, oo waxay ka soo dhaceen lo'doodii, dad faro badanna way laayeen. Sidaasuu Daa'uud dadkii Qeciilaah degganaa u badbaadiyey.
6 (When Abiathar, son of Ahimelech, ran away to David at Keilah he brought the ephod with him.)
Oo markii Aabyaataar oo ina Axiimeleg ahaa Daa'uud ugu soo cararay xagga Qeciilaah, wuxuu yimid isagoo eefod gacanta ku sita.
7 When Saul found out that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has handed him over to me, because he has locked himself inside a town with gates that can be barred shut.”
Oo Saa'uul baa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud Qeciilaah yimid. Markaasaa Saa'uul yidhi, Haddaa Ilaah gacanta ii soo geliyey; waayo, wuxuu ku xidhmay markuu galay magaalo leh irdo iyo qataarro.
8 So Saul called up his whole army to go and attack Keilah and to besiege David and his men.
Markaasaa Saa'uul dadkiisii oo dhan dagaal ugu yeedhay inay Qeciilaah ku dhaadhacaan, oo ay Daa'uud iyo raggiisaba hareereeyaan.
9 When David learned that Saul was plotting to attack him, he asked Abiathar the priest, “Please bring the ephod.”
Oo Daa'uudna wuu ogaa in Saa'uul belaayo la damacsan yahay; markaasuu wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa ku yidhi, Halkan eefodka keen.
10 David prayed, “Lord, God of Israel, I your servant have been clearly told that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town because of me.
Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, hubaal anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan maqlay in Saa'uul doonayo inuu Qeciilaah yimaado, oo uu magaaladana daraadday u baabbi'iyo.
11 Are the town leaders of Keilah going to hand me over to him? Is Saul going to come, as I have heard? Lord, God of Israel, please tell me.” “Yes, he'll come,” the Lord replied.
Haddaba dadka reer Qeciilaah miyey isaga ii gacangelin doonaan? Oo Saa'uul miyuu soo dhaadhacayaa sidii anoo addoonkaaga ah aan u maqlay? Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, waan ku baryayaaye, anigoo addoonkaaga ah taas ii sheeg. Markaasaa Rabbigu ku yidhi, Haah, wuu soo dhaadhici doonaa.
12 “And will the town leaders of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?” David asked. “Yes, they will,” the Lord replied.
Kolkaasuu Daa'uud yidhi, Haddaba miyey dadka reer Qeciilaah aniga iyo raggaygaba Saa'uul gacanta noo gelin doonaan? Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Haah, way kuu gacangelin doonaan.
13 So David and his men, who numbered around six hundred, left Keilah and moved around from place to place. When Saul discovered that David had escaped from Keilah, he didn't bother going there.
Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisii oo lix boqol ku dhowaa kaceen oo Qeciilaah ka baxeen, oo waxay tageen meel alla meeshii ay tegi kareen. Oo Saa'uulna waxaa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud Qeciilaah ka baxsaday, markaasuu iska daayay inuu u soo baxo.
14 David set up camp in the wilderness strongholds, staying in the mountains of the Desert of Ziph. Saul searched for him continually, but God did not let David be captured.
Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu degganaa dhufaysyada cidlada ku yiil, oo wuxuu iska joogay dalka buuraha leh ee cidlada ah ee Siif. Oo Saa'uul baa doondooni jiray maalin kasta, laakiinse Ilaah gacanta uma soo gelin.
15 While David was staying at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he found out that Saul was on his way to murder him.
Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu arkay in Saa'uul u soo baxay si uu naftiisa u deydeyo. Daa'uudna cidlada Siif buu ku jiray, duurka dhexdiisa.
16 Saul's son Jonathan went to see David in Horesh and encouraged him to go on trusting in God, telling him,
Markaasaa Saa'uul wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ahaa kacay, oo Daa'uud ugu tegey duurka dhexdiisa, oo gacantiisuu ku xoogeeyey Ilaah.
17 “Don't worry, because my father Saul is never going to find you. You're going to be king of Israel, and I'll be your deputy. Even my father Saul knows this.”
Oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, waayo, aabbahay Saa'uul gacantiisu kuma heli doonto; oo adna reer binu Israa'iil boqor baad u noqon doontaa, oo anna waan kugu xigi doonaa; taasna aabbahay Saa'uul waa og yahay.
18 The two of them made an agreement before the Lord. David stayed in Horesh and Jonathan went home.
Oo labadoodii axdi bay Rabbiga hortiisa ku dhigteen. Oo Daa'uud wuxuu iska joogay duurkii, Yoonaataanna gurigiisii buu tegey.
19 Then the people of Ziph went to Saul at Gibeah and told him, “David is hiding in our area, in the strongholds in Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, in the southern wastelands.
Markaasaa Saa'uul waxaa Gibecaah ugu yimid reer Siif, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud miyaanu ku dhuuman dhufaysyada dalkayaga duurka ku yaal, oo ku dhex yaal buurta Xakiilaah, oo lamadegaanka xaggiisa koonfureed ku taal?
20 So, Your Majesty, please come whenever you want, and we'll make sure to hand him over to you.”
Haddaba, boqorow, soo dhaadhac adigoo aad u doonaya inaad timaadid; oo annana qaybtayadu wuxuu ahaan doonaa inaan gacantaada ku soo ridno, boqorow.
21 “The Lord bless you for thinking about me,” Saul replied.
Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Kuwo xagga Rabbiga ka barakaysan noqda; waayo, idinku waad ii naxariisateen.
22 “Please go and make absolutely sure you know exactly where he is—where he stays and who has seen him there—because people tell me that he's very devious.
Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye weliba taga oo sii hubsada, oo waxaad soo ogaataan oo soo aragtaan meeshuu u caado leeyahay, iyo kii isaga halkaas ku soo arkay, waayo, waxaa la ii soo sheegay inuu aad xeelad ugu macaamiloodo.
23 Look for and mark down all his hiding places. Then come back to me when you're sure, and I'll go back with you. If he's here in the country, I will hunt him down among all the people of Judah.”
Sidaas daraaddeed soo arka oo soo wada ogaada meelaha uu ku gabbado ee uu ku dhuunto oo dhanba, oo mar kale igu soo noqda idinkoo aad u huba, markaasaan idin raaci doonaa, oo haddii uu dhulka dhex joogo, waxaan isaga ka dhex baadhi doonaa kumanyaalka reer Yahuudah oo dhan.
24 So the people of Ziph set off, returning to Ziph ahead of Saul. David and his men were in the Desert of Maon in the Arabah Valley in the southern wastelands.
Markaasay Saa'uul hor mareen, oo ay u kaceen xagga Siif, laakiinse Daa'uud iyo raggiisiiba waxay joogeen cidlada reer Maacoon ku dhex taal Caraabaah ee lamadegaanka xaggiisa koonfureed ku taal.
25 Saul and his men started hunting for him. When David found out, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he chased after David in the Desert of Maon.
Markaasaa Saa'uul iyo raggiisiiba waxay u soo baxeen inay Daa'uud doondoonaan. Oo iyana taas bay u sheegeen Daa'uud, sidaas daraaddeed ayuu u dhaadhacay xagga dhagaxii weynaa, oo cidladii Maacoon ayuu iska joogay. Oo Saa'uulna markuu taas maqlay ayuu Daa'uud u eryaday xagga cidladii Maacoon.
26 Saul was traveling along one side of the mountain, while David and his men were on the other side, rushing to get away. But just as Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men, about to capture them,
Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu maray buurta dhankeedii soke, Daa'uud iyo raggiisiina waxay mareen buurta dhankeedii shishe, oo Daa'uudna wuu dhaqsaday inuu u cararo cabsi uu Saa'uul ka qabo aawadeed, waayo, Saa'uul iyo raggiisii waxay u hareereeyeen Daa'uud iyo raggiisii inay qabtaan.
27 a messenger arrived to tell Saul, “Come at once! The Philistines have invaded the country!”
Laakiinse wargeeys baa Saa'uul u yimid oo ku yidhi, Soo dhaqso oo kaalay; waayo, reer Falastiin weerar bay ku soo kacsheen dalkii.
28 So Saul had to stop chasing David and went to confront the Philistines. That's why the place is called the “Rock of Escape.”
Oo sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuu ka noqday Daa'uud kii uu eryanayay, oo wuxuu u kacay kuwii reer Falastiin, sidaas aawadeed waxay meeshaas u bixiyeen Selac Hammaxleqood.
29 Then David left and went to live in the strongholds of En-gedi.
Oo Daa'uudna halkaas wuu ka tegey, oo iska joogay Ceyn Gedii dhufaysyadeedii.
