1 Samuel 22
1 Dauid therefore departed thence, and saued him selfe in the caue of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his fathers house heard it, they went downe thither to him.
Dawudi n’ava e Gaasi, n’addukira mu mpuku Adulamu. Baganda be n’ennyumba ya kitaawe bwe baakiwulira nti ali eyo, ne baserengeta okumusisinkana.
2 And there gathered vnto him all men that were in trouble and all men that were in dette, and all those that were vexed in minde, and he was their prince, and there were with him about foure hundreth men.
N’abo bonna abaali abanaku, n’abaalina abababanja, n’abaali beetamiddwa, nga si bamativu, ne bakuŋŋaanira gy’ali, n’afuuka omukulembeze waabwe; abantu ng’ebikumi bina abaali naye.
3 And Dauid went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said vnto the King of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother come and abide with you, till I knowe what God wil doe for me.
Dawudi n’avaayo n’agenda e Mizupe mu Mowaabu, n’agamba kabaka wa Mowaabu nti, “Nkusaba okkirize kitange ne mmange babeere naawe okutuusa bwe ndimanya Katonda ky’ayagala okunkolera.”
4 And he brought them before the King of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that Dauid was in the holde.
N’abaleka ne kabaka wa Mowaabu, ne babeera naye ebbanga lyonna Dawudi lye yabeera mu kifo ekyo.
5 And the Prophet Gad sayde vnto Dauid, Abide not in the holde, but depart and goe into the land of Iudah. Then Dauid departed and came into the forest of Hareth.
Naye nnabbi Gaadi n’alabula Dawudi nti, “Tobeera mu kifo ekyo, vaamu ogende mu nsi ya Yuda.” Awo Dawudi n’avaayo n’agenda mu kibira Keresi.
6 And Saul heard that Dauid was discouered, and the men that were with him, and Saul remayned in Gibeah vnder a tree in Ramah, hauing his speare in his hande, and all his seruants stoode about him.
Sawulo n’awulira nti Dawudi n’abasajja be bazuuliddwa. Sawulo yali atudde wansi w’omumyulimu ku kasozi e Gibea ng’akutte effumu, nga n’abaserikale be bayimiridde okumwetooloola.
7 And Saul said vnto his seruants that stood about him, Heare now, ye sonnes of Iemini, wil the sonne of Ishai giue euery one of you fields and vineyardes: will he make you all captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreths:
Awo Sawulo n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize mmwe Ababenyamini. Mutabani wa Yese alibawa ennimiro n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu? Mulowooza alibafuula abaduumizi b’enkumi n’abaduumizi b’ekikumi?
8 That all ye haue conspired against me, and there is none that tellerh mee that my sonne hath made a couenant with the sonne of Ishai? and there is none of you that is sory for me, or sheweth mee, that my sonne hath stirred vp my seruant to lie in wayte against me, as appeareth this day?
Kyemuvudde mundyamu olukwe mwenna? Tewali n’omu ku mmwe eyantegeeza mutabani wange ng’akola endagaano ne mutabani wa Yese. Tewali n’omu ku mmwe afaayo okuntegeeza nga mutabani wange awagira omuweereza wange okunteega, nga bw’akoze leero.”
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite (who was appoynted ouer the seruants of Saul) and sayd, I saw the sonne of Ishai when he came to Nob, to Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitub,
Naye Dowegi Omwedomu eyali ayimiridde awamu n’abaserikale ba Sawulo n’ayogera nti, “Nalaba mutabani wa Yese ng’agenda eri Akimereki mutabani wa Akitubu e Nobu.
10 Who asked counsell of the Lord for him and gaue him vitailes, and he gaue him also the sword of Goliath the Philistim.
Akimereki yamubuuliza eri Mukama, era n’amuwa n’ebikozesebwa n’ekitala kya Goliyaasi Omufirisuuti.”
11 Then the King sent to call Ahimelech the Priest the sonne of Ahitub, and all his fathers house, to wit, the Priests that were in Nob: and they came all to the King.
Awo kabaka n’atumya kabona Akimereki mutabani wa Akitubu n’ennyumba ya kitaawe yonna, bakabona abaali e Nobu, bonna ne bajja eri kabaka.
12 And Saul said, Heare now thou sonne of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
Sawulo n’ayogera nti, “Wuliriza kaakano, mutabani wa Akitubu.” N’addamu nti, “Mpuliriza mukama wange.”
13 Then Saul sayde vnto him, Why haue yee conspired against me, thou and the sonne of Ishai, in that thou hast giuen him vitaile, and a sworde, and hast asked counsell of God for him, that he should rise against me, and lye in wayte as appeareth this day?
Sawulo n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki weekobaana ne mutabani wa Yese, n’omuwa emigaati n’ekitala, n’omubuuliza n’eri Katonda, alyoke, anteege angolokokereko, nga bw’akoze leero?”
14 And Ahimelech answered the King, and sayde, Who is so faithfull among all thy seruants as Dauid, being also the Kings sonne in lawe, and goeth at thy commandement, and is honourable in thine house?
Awo Akimereki n’addamu kabaka nti, “Ani ku baddu bo bonna eyenkana Dawudi, mukoddomi wa kabaka, omuduumizi wo ow’oku ntikko aduumira ekibinja ekikukuuma, era assibwamu ennyo ekitiibwa mu nnyumba yo?
15 Haue I this day first begun to aske counsell of God for him? be it farre from mee, let not the King impute any thing vnto his seruant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy seruant knew nothing of all this, lesse nor more.
Olowooza nti ku lunaku olwo gwe gwali omulundi ogusooka okumubuuliza eri Katonda? Nedda! Kabaka aleme okuvunaana omuweereza wo newaakubadde omuntu yenna ow’omu nnyumba ya kitange, kubanga omuweereza wo talina n’ekimu ky’amanyi ku nsonga eyo.”
16 Then the King sayd, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy fathers house.
Naye kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mazima tooleme kufa, ggwe Akimereki, n’ennyumba ya kitaawo yonna.”
17 And the King sayde vnto the sergeantes that stoode about him, Turne, and slay the Priestes of the Lord, because their hand also is with Dauid, and because they knewe when he fled, and shewed it not vnto mee. But the seruantes of the King would not moue their hands to fall vpon the Priests of the Lord.
Awo kabaka n’alagira abaserikale abaali bamuyimiridde okumpi, nti, “Mutte bakabona ba Mukama, kubanga nabo bassa kimu ne Dawudi. Baategeera ng’adduka, naye ne batantegeeza.” Naye ne wataba n’omu ku baserikale ba kabaka eyayaŋŋanga okugolola omukono gwe okutta bakabona ba Mukama.
18 Then the King sayde to Doeg, Turne thou and fall vpon the Priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ran vpon the Priestes, and slewe that same daye foure score and fiue persons that did weare a linen Ephod.
Awo kabaka n’alyoka alagira Dowegi nti, “Ggwe bakkeeko obatte.” Awo Dowegi Omwedomu n’abakkako n’abatta, era olunaku olwo n’atta abasajja kinaana mu bataano abaayambalanga ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eza bafuta.
19 Also Nob the citie of the Priestes smote he with the edge of the sword, both man and woman, both childe and suckling, both oxe and asse, and sheepe with the edge of the sword.
N’atta n’ekitala abatuuze bonna ab’e Nobu, abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana abatoototo, n’abaana abawere, era n’ente, n’endogoyi, n’endiga ebyali mu kibuga kya bakabona.
20 But one of the sonnes of Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitub (whose name was Abiathar) escaped and fled after Dauid.
Naye Abiyasaali omu ku batabani ba Akimereki, muzzukulu wa Akitubu n’awona n’addukira eri Dawudi.
21 And Abiathar shewed Dauid, that Saul had slayne the Lords Priestes.
Abiyasaali n’ategeeza Dawudi nga Sawulo bwe yali asse bakabona ba Mukama.
22 And Dauid sayd vnto Abiathar, I knewe it the same day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would tell Saul. I am the cause of the death of all the persons of thy fathers house.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Abiyasaali nti, “Namanya ku lunaku olwo, Dowegi Omwedomu bwe yaliiyo, nga ddala alibuulira Sawulo. Omusango gwange kubanga nze naleetera ennyumba ya kitaawo yonna okuttibwa.
23 Abide thou with me, and feare not: for he that seeketh my life, shall seeke thy life also: for with me thou shalt be in safegard.
Sigala nange, totya, kubanga omusajja anoonya obulamu bwo anoonya n’obwange. Ojja kuba bulungi ng’oli wamu nange.”
