1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti parí ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ń bá Saulu sọ, ọkàn Jonatani di ọ̀kan pẹ̀lú ti Dafidi, ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ̀.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Láti ọjọ́ náà Saulu pa Dafidi mọ́ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ kò sì jẹ́ kí ó padà sí ilé baba rẹ̀ mọ́.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
Jonatani bá Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú nítorí tí ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ̀.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonatani sì bọ́ aṣọ ìgúnwà, ó sì fi fun Dafidi pẹ̀lú aṣọ àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ àti pẹ̀lú idà rẹ̀, ọrun rẹ̀ àti àmùrè rẹ̀.
5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul sent him, he had good success; and Saul set him over the men of war; and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Ohunkóhun tí Saulu bá rán an láti ṣe, Dafidi máa ṣe ní àṣeyọrí, Saulu náà sì fun un ní ipò tí ó ga jù láàrín àwọn ológun. Eléyìí sì tẹ́ gbogbo ènìyàn lọ́rùn, àti pẹ̀lú ó sì tẹ́ àwọn ìjòyè Saulu lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn padà sí ilé lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti pa Filistini, gbogbo àwọn obìnrin tú jáde láti inú ìlú Israẹli wá láti pàdé ọba Saulu pẹ̀lú orin àti ijó, pẹ̀lú orin ayọ̀ àti tambori àti ohun èlò orin olókùn.
7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Bí wọ́n ṣe ń jó, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń kọrin pé, “Saulu pa ẹgbẹ̀rún tirẹ̀ Dafidi sì pa ẹgbẹẹgbàárún ní tirẹ̀.”
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'
Saulu sì bínú gidigidi, ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì korò létí rẹ̀ pé, “Wọ́n ti gbé ògo fún Dafidi pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹẹgbàárún,” ó sì wí pé, “ṣùgbọ́n èmi pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún kan. Kí ni ó kù kí ó gbà bí kò ṣe ìjọba?”
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Láti ìgbà náà lọ ni Saulu ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ojú ìlara wo Dafidi.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as he did day by day; and Saul had his spear in his hand.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá pẹ̀lú agbára sórí Saulu, ó sì sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní ilé rẹ̀ nígbà tí Dafidi sì ń fọn ohun èlò orin olókùn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti máa ń ṣe láti ẹ̀yìn wá, Saulu sì ní ọ̀kọ̀ kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
11 And Saul cast the spear; for he said: 'I will smite David even to the wall.' And David stepped aside out of his presence twice.
Ó sì gbé e sókè, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò gún Dafidi pọ̀ mọ́ ògiri.” Ṣùgbọ́n, Dafidi yẹ̀ fún un lẹ́ẹ̀méjì.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
Saulu sì ń bẹ̀rù Dafidi nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, ṣùgbọ́n ó ti fi Saulu sílẹ̀.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Ó sì lé Dafidi jáde ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi jẹ olórí ogun ẹgbẹ̀rún kan, Dafidi ń kó wọn lọ, ó ń kó wọn bọ̀ nínú ìgbòkègbodò ogun.
14 And David had great success in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
Dafidi sì ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n ní gbogbo ìṣe rẹ̀, nítorí tí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
15 And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in awe of him.
Nígbà tí Saulu rí bi àṣeyọrí rẹ̀ ti tó, ó sì bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda ni wọ́n fẹ́ràn Dafidi, nítorí ó darí wọn lọ ní ìgbòkègbodò ogun wọn.
17 And Saul said to David: 'Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles.' For Saul said: 'Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'
Saulu wí fún Dafidi pé, “Èyí ni àgbà nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin mi Merabu. Èmi yóò fi òun fún ọ ní aya. Kí ìwọ sìn mí bí akọni, kí o sì máa ja ogun Olúwa.” Nítorí tí Saulu wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kì yóò gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè sí i. Jẹ́ kí àwọn Filistini ṣe èyí.”
18 And David said unto Saul: 'Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?'
Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi wí fún Saulu pé, “Ta ni mí, kí sì ni ìdílé mi tàbí ìdílé baba mi ní Israẹli, tí èmi yóò di àna ọba?”
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
Nígbà tí àkókò tó fún Merabu, ọmọbìnrin Saulu, láti fi fún Dafidi, ni a sì fi fún Adrieli ará Mehola ní aya.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Nísinsin yìí ọmọbìnrin Saulu Mikali sì fẹ́ràn Dafidi, nígbà tí wọ́n sọ fún Saulu nípa rẹ̀, ó sì dùn mọ́ ọn.
21 And Saul said: 'I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.' Wherefore Saul said to David: 'Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law through the one of the twain.'
Ó sọ nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò fi fún un kí òun ba à le jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn fún un, kí ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini lè wà lára rẹ̀.” Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún Dafidi pé, “Nísinsin yìí ìwọ ní àǹfààní eléyìí láti jẹ́ àna án mi.”
22 And Saul commanded his servants: 'Speak with David secretly, and say: Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'
Saulu pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ sọ fún Dafidi ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, kí ẹ sì wí pé, ‘Wò ó, inú ọba dùn sí ọ, gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fẹ́ràn rẹ, nísinsin yìí jẹ́ àna ọba.’”
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said: 'Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'
Wọ́n tún ọ̀rọ̀ náà sọ fún Dafidi. Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi wí pé, “Ṣé ẹ rò pé ohun kékeré ni láti jẹ́ àna ọba? Mo jẹ́ tálákà ènìyàn àti onímọ̀ kékeré.”
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: 'On this manner spoke David.'
Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu sọ fún un ohun tí Dafidi sọ,
25 And Saul said: 'Thus shall ye say to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.' For Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saulu dáhùn pé, “Sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Ọba kò fẹ́ owó orí láti ọ̀dọ̀ àna rẹ̀ ju awọ iwájú orí ọgọ́rùn-ún Filistini lọ láti fi gba ẹ̀san lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’” Èrò Saulu ni wí pé kí Dafidi ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;
Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sọ àwọn nǹkan yìí fún Dafidi, inú rẹ̀ dùn láti di àna ọba kí àkókò tí ó dá tó kọjá,
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
Dafidi àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ jáde lọ wọ́n sì pa igba lára àwọn Filistini. Ó kó awọ iwájú orí wọn wá, ó sì pé iye tí ọba fẹ́ kí ó ba à lè jẹ́ àna ọba. Saulu sì fi ọmọ obìnrin Mikali fún un ní aya.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
Nígbà tí Saulu sì wá mọ̀ pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi tí ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ Mikali sì fẹ́ràn Dafidi,
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
Saulu sì tún wá bẹ̀rù Dafidi síwájú àti síwájú, Saulu sì wá di ọ̀tá Dafidi fún gbogbo ọjọ́ rẹ̀ tókù.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David prospered more than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
Àwọn ọmọ-aládé Filistini tún tẹ̀síwájú láti lọ sí ogun, ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n lọ, Dafidi ṣe àṣeyọrí ju gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu lọ, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì gbilẹ̀.
