< 1 Samuel 24 >

1 When Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, it was reported to him, “David is in the Desert of En-gedi.”
Solo da Filisidini dunuma gegenanu buhagi. Ilia da Soloma Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge Enegedi gadenene esala: ba: ya ema olelei.
2 So Saul took three thousand specially-picked men from all Israel and went searching for David and his men in the area around Wild Goats' Rocks.
Solo da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu baligili noga: idafa 3,000 agoane oule asili, soge ea dio amo Sigua Goudi Gele amoga gusudili, Da: ibidi amola e dunu hogolalu.
3 As Saul passed the sheep pens on the way, there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself. David and his men were hiding deep inside the cave.
E da logoga sibi gagoi gadenene magufu gelaba amoga misini, iga gimusa: asili, amo ganodini golili sa: i. Amo magufu gelaba ganodini, Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da guma: dafa wamoaligi dialu.
4 David's men said to him, “Today's the day the Lord promised you when he told you, ‘Listen, I'm going to hand over your enemy to you, so you can do to him whatever you want.’” Then David crept up quietly and cut a piece from the edge of Saul's robe.
Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema amane sia: i, “Dia logo da doasi diala. Hina Gode da dia ha lai dunu dia lobo da: iya ima: ne sia: i, amo wali di da dia hanaiga ema hamomu logo doasi dagoi.” Da: ibidi da gebe gogoli asili, Solo ea abula fe hedofalai. Solo da ema amane hamobe hi hame dawa: i.
5 But afterwards David felt really bad because he'd cut off a piece of Saul's robe.
Be amalu Da: ibidi ea asigi dawa: su ganodini se nabi.
6 He told his men, “May the Lord prevent me from doing anything like this to my master, the Lord's anointed one. I will never attack him, for he is the Lord's anointed one.”
E da ea dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dunu amo Hina Gode Ea hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei, ema se imunu da defea hame. Hina Gode da na ema se imunu logo hedofamu da defea. Bai e da Hina Gode Ea ilegei dunuba: le.”
7 He reprimanded his men and didn't allow them to attack Saul. Saul stood up and went on his way.
Da: ibidi da amane sia: beba: le, ea dunu da Soloma doagalamusa: dawa: i bu yolesi. Solo da wa: legadole, magufu gelabo yolesili, logoga asi.
8 A little later David came out of the cave and shouted, “My master the king!” When Saul looked around, David bowed down with his face to the ground.
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da ema fa: no bobogele, gadili asili, ema wele sia: i, “Hina bagade noga: idafa!” Solo da beba: i. Da: ibidi da Solo nodoma: ne osoboga begudili,
9 “Why do you pay attention to people who say, ‘Watch out, David wants to harm you’?” David asked.
amane sia: i, “Dia abuliba: le ogogosu dunu amo ilia na da dima se imunusa: logo hogosu, amo ilia sia: be nabasala: ?
10 “Just look! You've seen with your own eyes today that the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I showed you compassion, and said, ‘I refuse to attack my master, for he is the Lord's anointed one.’
Disu da ba: lala. Wahadafa magufu gelaba ganodini, Hina Gode da hamobeba: le, na da na hanaiga dima hamomu logo doasi dagoi ba: i. Be na da dima asigiba: le, dima se fonobahadi imunusa: hame dawa: i. Bai Hina Gode da di hina bagade hamomusa: ilegei.
11 Take a look, my father! You see this piece of your robe I'm holding. Yes, I did I cut it off, but I didn't kill you. Now you can see for yourself and you can be sure that I have done nothing evil or rebellious. I have not sinned against you, but you are hunting me down, trying to kill me.
Na ada! Ba: ma! Na da dia abula fonobahadi damui gagui diala. Na da di fane legemu galu, be na da goe fawane damuni lai. Amo hou ba: beba: le, na da dima hamedafa lelelemu amola dima se hamedafa imunu, di amo noga: le dawa: ma. Na da dima wadela: le hamedafa imunu, di amo noga: le dawa: ma. Na da dima wadela: le hamedafa hamoi. Be di da na fane legemusa: awelala.
12 May the Lord decide between you and me as to who of us is right, and may the Lord punish you, but I myself will never try to harm you.
Hina Gode da ania hou fofada: nanu, nowa da wadela: le hamoi E da sia: mu. Na da dima se hamedafa imunu. Amaiba: le, di da nama se bagade iabeba: le, Hina Gode da dima se dabe imunu da defea.
13 As the old saying goes, ‘From the wicked comes wickedness,’ but I myself will never try to harm you.
Di da musa: sia: su amo dawa: , ‘Wadela: i dunu fawane da wadela: le hamosa.’ Amaiba: le, na da dima se hame imunu.
14 Who is the king of Israel coming after? Who are you chasing? A dead dog! Just a flea!
Isala: ili hina bagade da hamedei liligi fane legemusa: dawa: lala. Na da hamedei, wa: me bogoi amola dede amo agoaiwane gala.
15 May the Lord decide and choose between you and me. May he pay attention to my case and support it; may he save me from you.”
Hina Gode Hi fawane da fofada: nanu, nowa da moloi amola nowa da giadofai sia: mu. E da amo liligi hogolalu, di amo na mae fane legema: ne, na gaga: ma: mu.”
16 After David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that you speaking, David my son?” and he wept out loud.
Da: ibidi da sia: i dagole, Solo da amane sia: i, “Nagofe! Da: ibidi! Amo da dafawane dila: ?” Amola e da muni dinanu.
17 He told David, “You are a better person than I am, because you have repaid me with good, but I have repaid you with evil.
Amalalu, e da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Di da moloi amola na da giadofai. Di da nama noga: le hamosu, be na da dima wadela: le hamoi.
18 Today you have demonstrated how well you have treated me—for when the Lord handed me over to you, you didn't kill me.
Wali eso, dia da nama asigi hou olelei dagoi. Bai Hina Gode da na amo dia loboga i dagoi, be di da na hame fane legei.
19 For if a man caught hold of his enemy, would he let him escape unharmed? The Lord reward you well for how you've treated me today.
Dunu da ea ha lai gagusia, e da amo dunu mae hobeale fane legesa. Be di da hame amai. Di da waha nama hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.
20 Listen, I know you definitely will be king, and your rule over the kingdom of Israel will be secure.
Wali na fada: ne dawa: Di da Isala: ili hina bagade hamomu amola hina bagadewane gebewane esalumu.
21 Now swear to me by the Lord that you will not destroy my descendants who follow me, and that you will not wipe out my name from my family line.”
Be na dunu da na dio amola na sosogo ilia dio amo gogolesa: besa: le, Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le di da nagaga fi mae fane legema: ne ilegele sia: ma.”
22 So David promised this to Saul with an oath. Then Saul went back home, but David and his men returned to the stronghold.
Da: ibidi da amaiwane ilegele sia: i. Amalalu, Solo da hi diasuga buhagi. Amola Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da ilia wamoaligisua buhagi.
