< 1 Samuel 26 >

1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?'
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ará Sifi tọ Saulu wá sí Gibeah, wọn wí pé, “Dafidi kò ha fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ níbi òkè Hakila, èyí tí ó wà níwájú Jeṣimoni?”
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Saulu sì dìde ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ijù Sifi ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àṣàyàn ènìyàn ni Israẹli sì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti wá Dafidi ni ijù Sifi.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Saulu sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ ní ibi òkè Hakila tí o wà níwájú Jeṣimoni lójú ọ̀nà, Dafidi sì jókòó ni ibi ijù náà, ó sì rí pé Saulu ń tẹ̀lé òun ni ijù náà.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
Dafidi sì rán ayọ́lẹ̀wò jáde, ó sì mọ nítòótọ́ pé Saulu ń bọ̀.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the barricade, and the people pitched round about him.
Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì wá sí ibi ti Saulu pàgọ́ sí: Dafidi rí ibi tí Saulu gbé dùbúlẹ̀ sí, àti Abneri ọmọ Neri, olórí ogun rẹ̀: Saulu sì dùbúlẹ̀ láàrín àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì pàgọ́ wọn yí i ká.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying: 'Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?' And Abishai said: 'I will go down with thee.'
Dafidi sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún Ahimeleki, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Hiti, àti fún Abiṣai ọmọ Seruiah ẹ̀gbọ́n Joabu, pé, “Ta ni yóò ba mi sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sọ́dọ̀ Saulu ni ibùdó?” Abiṣai sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò ba ọ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ.”
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the barricade, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi àti Abiṣai sì tọ àwọn ènìyàn náà wá lóru: sì wò ó, Saulu dùbúlẹ̀ ó sì ń sùn láàrín kẹ̀kẹ́, a sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ gúnlẹ̀ ni ibi tìmùtìmù rẹ̀: Abneri àti àwọn ènìyàn náà sì dùbúlẹ̀ yí i ká.
8 Then said Abishai to David: 'God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.'
Abiṣai sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ọlọ́run ti fi ọ̀tá rẹ lé ọ lọ́wọ́ lónìí: ǹjẹ́ èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, sá à jẹ́ kí èmi o fi ọ̀kọ̀ gún un mọ́lẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kan, èmi kì yóò gun un lẹ́ẹ̀méjì.”
9 And David said to Abishai: 'Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?'
Dafidi sì wí fún Abiṣai pé, “Má ṣe pa á nítorí pé ta ni lè na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa kí ó sì wà láìjẹ̀bi?”
10 And David said: 'As the LORD liveth, nay, but the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and be swept away.
Dafidi sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa tí ń bẹ Olúwa yóò pa á, tàbí ọjọ́ rẹ̀ yóò sì pé tí yóò kú, tàbí òun ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibi ìjà yóò sì ṣègbé níbẹ̀.
11 The LORD forbid it me, that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water and let us go.'
Olúwa má jẹ́ kí èmi na ọwọ́ mi sí ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa. Ǹjẹ́ èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, mú ọ̀kọ̀ náà tí ń bẹ níbi tìmùtìmù rẹ̀, àti ìgò omi kí a sì máa lọ.”
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
Dafidi sì mú ọ̀kọ̀ náà àti ìgò omi náà kúrò níbi tìmùtìmù Saulu: wọ́n sì bá tiwọn lọ, kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó rí i, tàbí tí ó mọ̀: kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó jí; gbogbo wọn sì sùn; nítorí pé oorun èjìká láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá ti ṣubú lù wọ́n.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them.
Dafidi sì rékọjá sí ìhà kejì, ó sì dúró lórí òkè kan tí ó jìnnà réré; àlàfo kan sì wà láàrín méjì wọn.
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: 'Answerest thou not, Abner?' Then Abner answered and said: 'Who art thou that criest to the king?'
Dafidi sì kọ sí àwọn ènìyàn náà àti sí Abneri ọmọ Neri wí pé, “Ìwọ kò dáhùn, Abneri?” Nígbà náà ni Abneri sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni ń pe ọba?”
15 And David said to Abner: 'Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
Dafidi sì wí fún Abneri pé, “Alágbára ọkùnrin kọ́ ni ìwọ bí? Ta ni ó sì dàbí ìwọ ni Israẹli? Ǹjẹ́ èéṣe tí ìwọ kò tọ́jú ọba Olúwa rẹ? Nítorí ẹnìkan nínú àwọn ènìyàn náà ti wọlé wá láti pa ọba olúwa rẹ.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye deserve to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see, where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.'
Nǹkan tí ìwọ ṣe yìí kò dára. Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ, o tọ́ kí ẹ̀yin ó kú, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò pa olúwa yín mọ́, ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa. Ǹjẹ́ sì wo ibi tí ọ̀kọ̀ ọba gbé wà, àti ìgò omi tí ó ti wà níbi tìmùtìmù rẹ̀.”
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said: 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' And David said: 'It is my voice, my lord, O king.'
Saulu sì mọ ohùn Dafidi, ó sì wí pé, “Ohùn rẹ ni èyí bí Dafidi ọmọ mi?” Dafidi sì wí pé, “Ohùn mi ni, olúwa mi, ọba.”
18 And he said: 'Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
Òun sì wí pé, “Nítorí kín ni olúwa mi ṣe ń lépa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀? Kín ni èmi ṣe? Tàbí ìwà búburú wo ni ó wà lọ́wọ́ mi.
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be the LORD that hath stirred thee up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of the LORD, saying: Go, serve other gods.
Ǹjẹ́ èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, ọba, olúwa mi, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Bí ó bá ṣe Olúwa bá ti rú ọ sókè sí mi, jẹ́ kí òun o gba ẹbọ; ṣùgbọ́n bí o bá sì ṣe pé ọmọ ènìyàn ni, ìfibú ni kí wọn ó jásí níwájú Olúwa; nítorí tí wọn lé mi jáde lónìí kí èmi má ba à ní ìpín nínú ilẹ̀ ìní Olúwa, wí pé, ‘Lọ sin àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn.’
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.'
Ǹjẹ́ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹ̀jẹ̀ mi ó sàn sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa; nítorí ọba Israẹli jáde láti wá ẹ̀mí mi bi ẹni ń dọdẹ àparò lórí òkè ńlá.”
21 Then said Saul: 'I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.'
Saulu sì wí pé, “Èmi ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀: yípadà, Dafidi ọmọ mi: nítorí pé èmi kì yóò wa ibi rẹ mọ́, nítorí tí ẹ̀mí mi sì ti ṣe iyebíye lójú rẹ lónìí: wò ó, èmi ti ń hùwà òmùgọ̀, mo sì ti ṣìnà jọjọ.”
22 And David answered and said: 'Behold the king's spear! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Dafidi sì dáhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀kọ̀ ọba! Kí ó sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin rékọjá wá gbà á.
23 And the LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as the LORD delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.
Kí Olúwa o san án fún olúkúlùkù bí òdodo rẹ̀ àti bí òtítọ́ rẹ̀: nítorí pé Olúwa tí fi ọ lé mi lọ́wọ́ lónìí, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò fẹ́ nawọ́ mi sí ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.'
Sì wò ó, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀mí rẹ ti tóbi lónìí lójú mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ki ẹ̀mí mi ó tóbi lójú Olúwa, kí ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ibi gbogbo.”
25 Then Saul said to David: 'Blessed be thou, my son David; thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail.' So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Saulu sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ìwọ, Dafidi ọmọ mi: nítòótọ́ ìwọ yóò sì ṣe nǹkan ńlá, nítòótọ́ ìwọ yóò sì borí.” Dafidi sì bá ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ, Saulu sì yípadà sí ibùgbé rẹ̀.
