Kings I 20
1 And David fled from Navath in Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I done, and what [is] my fault, and wherein have I sinned before your father, that he seeks my life?
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sá kúrò ní Naioti ti Rama ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Jonatani ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni mo ṣe? Kí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi? Báwo ni mo ṣe ṣẹ baba rẹ, tí ó sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti gba ẹ̀mí mi?”
2 And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from you: you shall not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? This thing is not [so].
Jonatani dáhùn pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ìwọ kò ní kú! Wò ó baba mi kì í ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó tóbi tàbí tí ó kéré, láìfi lọ̀ mí. Èéṣe tí yóò fi fi èyí pamọ́ fún mi? Kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀.”
3 And David answered Jonathan, and said, Your father knows surely that I have found grace in your sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but [as] the Lord lives and your soul lives, as I said, [the space] is filled up between me and death.
Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi tún búra, ó sì wí pé, “Baba rẹ mọ̀ dáradára pé mo rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jonatani kò gbọdọ̀ mọ èyí yóò sì bà á nínú jẹ́.’ Síbẹ̀ nítòótọ́ bí Olúwa ti wà láààyè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wà láààyè, ìgbésẹ̀ kan ni ó wà láàrín ìyè àti ikú.”
4 And Jonathan said to David, What does your soul desire, and what shall I do for you.
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣe, èmi yóò ṣe é fún ọ.”
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow [is] the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit down to eat, but you shall let me go, and I will hide in the plain till the evening.
Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀la ni oṣù tuntun, mo sì gbọdọ̀ bá ọba jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó lọ láti fi ara pamọ́ lórí pápá títí di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
6 And if your father do in anyway enquire for me, then shall you say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for [there is] there, a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé baba rẹ bá fẹ́ mi kù, kí o sì wí fún un pé, ‘Dafidi fi tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ béèrè ààyè láti sáré lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu ìlú rẹ̀ nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe ẹbọ ọdọọdún ní ibẹ̀ fún gbogbo ìdílé rẹ̀.’
7 If he shall say thus, Well, — [all is] safe for your servant: but if he shall answer harshly to you, know that evil is determined by him.
Tí o bá wí pé, ‘Àlàáfíà ni,’ nígbà náà, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wà láìléwu. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá bínú gidigidi, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ dájú pé ó pinnu láti ṣe ìpalára mi.
8 And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself: and if there is iniquity in your servant, kill me yourself; but why do you thus bring me to your father?
Ṣùgbọ́n ní tìrẹ ìwọ, fi ojúrere wo ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; nítorí tí ìwọ ti bá a dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú rẹ níwájú Olúwa. Tí mo bá jẹ̀bi, pa mí fún ara rẹ! Èéṣe tí ìwọ yóò fi fi mí lé baba rẹ lọ́wọ́?”
9 And Jonathan said, That be far from you: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon you, although it should not be against your cities, I will tell you.
Jonatani wí pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ti mo bá ti gbọ́ tí baba mi ti pinnu láti pa ọ́ lára, ṣé èmi kò ní sọ fún ọ?”
10 And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if your father should answer roughly?
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Ta ni yóò sọ fún mi tí baba rẹ̀ bá dá ọ lóhùn ní ohùn líle?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a jáde lọ sórí pápá.” Nígbà náà wọ́n sì jáde lọ.
12 And Jonathan said to David, the Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an opportunity, three several times, and, behold, [if good] should be determined concerning David, and I do not send to you to the field,
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Mo fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli búra pé, èmi yóò rí i dájú pé mo gbọ́ ti ẹnu baba mi ní ìwòyí ọ̀la tàbí ní ọ̀túnla! Bí ó bá sì ní inú dídùn sí ọ, èmi yóò ránṣẹ́ sí ọ, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí o mọ̀?
13 God do so to Jonathan and more also: as I shall [also] report the evil to you, and make it known to you, and I will let you go; and you shall depart in peace, and the Lord shall be with you, as he was with my father.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí baba mi bá fẹ́ pa ọ́ lára, kí Olúwa kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Jonatani; tí èmi kò bá jẹ́ kí o mọ̀, kí n sì jẹ́ kí o lọ ní àlàáfíà. Kí Olúwa kí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà pẹ̀lú baba mi.
14 And if indeed I continue to live, then shall you deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
Ṣùgbọ́n fi àìkùnà inú rere hàn mí bí inú rere Olúwa, níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo bá wà láààyè kí wọ́n má ba à pa mí.
15 you shall not withdraw your mercy from my house for ever: and if you do not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
Má ṣe ké àánú rẹ kúrò lórí ìdílé mi títí láé. Bí Olúwa tilẹ̀ ké gbogbo ọ̀tá Dafidi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.”
16 [should it happen] that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani bá ilé Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú wí pé, “Olúwa yóò pe àwọn àti Dafidi láti ṣírò.”
17 And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
Jonatani mú kí Dafidi tún ìbúra ṣe nítorí ìfẹ́ tí ó ní sí i, nítorí tí ó fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti fẹ́ràn ara rẹ̀.
18 And Jonathan said, To-morrow [is] the new moon, and you will be enquired for, because your seat will be observed as vacant.
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Lọ́la ní ibi àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun, a yóò fẹ́ ọ kù, nítorí ààyè rẹ yóò ṣófo.
19 And you shall stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shall come to your place where you may hide yourself in the day of your business, and you shall wait by that stone Ezel.
Ní ọ̀túnla lọ́wọ́ alẹ́ lọ sí ibi tí o sá pamọ́ sí nígbà tí ìṣòro yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀, kí o sì dúró níbi òkúta Eselu.
20 And I will shoot three arrows, aiming them at a mark.
Èmi yóò ta ọfà mẹ́ta sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé mo ta á sí àmì ibìkan.
21 And behold, I [will] send a lad, saying, Go find me the arrow.
Èmi yóò rán ọmọdékùnrin kan èmi yóò wí fún un wí pé, ‘Lọ, kí o lọ wá ọfà náà.’ Tí mo bá sọ fún un wí pé, ‘Wò ó, ọfà wọ̀nyí wà ní ibi báyìí ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ; kó wọn wá síbí,’ kí o sì wá, nítorí pé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wà ní ààyè, o wà ní àlàáfíà; kò sí ewu.
22 If I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow [is] here, and on this side of you, take it; [then] come, for it is well with you, and there is no reason [for fear, as] the Lord lives: [but] if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow [is] on that side of you, and beyond; go, for the Lord has sent you away.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ fún ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, ‘Wò ó, àwọn ọfà náà ń bẹ níwájú rẹ,’ ǹjẹ́ máa bá tìrẹ lọ, nítorí Olúwa ni ó rán ọ lọ.
23 And as for the word which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord [is] witness between me and you for ever.
Nípa ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi àti ìwọ jọ sọ, rántí Olúwa jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí láàrín ìwọ àti èmi títí láéláé.”
24 So David hides himself in the field, and the [new] month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sá pamọ́ sínú pápá. Nígbà tí àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun sì dé, ọba sì jókòó láti jẹun.
25 And he sat upon his seat as in former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan; and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
Ọba sì jókòó gẹ́gẹ́ bí ipò o rẹ̀ ní ibi tí ó máa ń jókòó lórí ìjókòó tí ó wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ògiri, ní òdìkejì Jonatani, Abneri sì jókòó ti Saulu, ṣùgbọ́n ààyè Dafidi sì ṣófo.
26 And Saul said nothing on that day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean, because he has not purified himself.
Saulu kò sọ nǹkan kan ní ọjọ́ náà, nítorí ó rò pé, “Nǹkan kan ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Dafidi láti jẹ́ kí ó di aláìmọ́ lóòtítọ́ ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́.”
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessae attended both yesterday and today at the table?
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kejì, ní ọjọ́ kejì oṣù, ààyè Dafidi sì tún ṣófo. Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ọmọ Jese kò fi wá sí ibi oúnjẹ, lánàá àti lónìí?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, and said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
Jonatani sì dáhùn pé, “Dafidi bẹ̀ mí tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ fún ààyè láti lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
29 and he said, Let me go, I pray you, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, I will even go over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the king.
Ó wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí n lọ, nítorí pé ìdílé wa ń ṣe ìrúbọ ní ìlú, àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n ọ̀n mi sì ti pàṣẹ fún mi láti wà níbẹ̀; tí èmi bá rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, jẹ́ kí n lọ láti lọ rí àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n mi.’ Ìdí nìyìí tí kò fi wá sí orí tábìlì oúnjẹ ọba.”
30 And Saul was exceedingly angry with Jonathan, and said to him, You son of traitorous damsels! for do I not know that you are an accomplice with the son of Jessae to your same, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
Ìbínú Saulu sì ru sí Jonatani ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ̀tẹ̀ búburú yìí, ṣé èmi kò ti mọ̀ pé, ìwọ ti yan ọmọ Jese fún ìtìjú ti ara rẹ àti fún ìtìjú màmá rẹ tí ó bí ọ?
31 For so long as the son of Jessae lives upon the earth, your kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ọmọ Jese bá wà láààyè lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, a kì yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ìwọ tàbí ti ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí ránṣẹ́ kí o sì lọ mú un wá fún mi, nítorí ó gbọdọ̀ kú!”
32 And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? What has he done?
Jonatani béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi pa á? Kí ni ó ṣe?”
33 And Saul lifted up his spear against Jonathan to kill him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was determined on by his father to kill David.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ju ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Jonatani láti gún un pa. Nígbà náà ni Jonatani mọ̀ pé baba rẹ̀ mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ fẹ́ pa Dafidi ni.
34 And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second [day] of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined [on mischief] against him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jonatani sì fi ìbínú dìde kúrò ni ibi oúnjẹ, kò sì jẹun ni ọjọ́ kejì oṣù náà, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi fún Dafidi, nítorí pé baba rẹ̀ dójútì í.
35 And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed [to do] for a signal to David, and a little boy [was] with him.
Ó sì ṣe, ní òwúrọ̀ ni Jonatani jáde lọ sí oko ní àkókò tí òun àti Dafidi ti fi àdéhùn sí, ọmọdékùnrin kan sì wá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
36 And he said to the boy, Run, find me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and [Jonathan] shot an arrow, and sent it beyond [him].
Ó si wí fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Sáré, kí o si wá àwọn ọfà tí èmi ó ta.” Bí ọmọdé náà sì ti ń sáré, òun sì tafà rékọjá rẹ̀.
37 And the boy came to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the lad, and said, The arrow [is] on that side of you and beyond you.
Nígbà tí ọmọdékùnrin náà sì dé ibi ọfà tí Jonatani ta, Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà ó sì wí pé, “Ọfà náà kò ha wà níwájú rẹ bi?”
38 And Jonathan cried out after his boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, “Sáré! Yára! Má ṣe dúró!” Ọmọdékùnrin Jonatani sì ṣa àwọn ọfà náà, ó sì tọ olúwa rẹ̀ wá.
39 And the boy knew nothing, only Jonathan and David [knew].
(Ọmọdékùnrin náà kò sì mọ̀ nǹkan; ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani àti Dafidi ni ó mọ ọ̀ràn náà.)
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
Jonatani sì fi apó àti ọrun rẹ̀ fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ, kí o sì mú wọn lọ sí ìlú.”
41 And when the lad went in, then David arose from the south, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for a great while.
Bí ọmọdékùnrin náà ti lọ tán, Dafidi sì dìde láti ibi ìhà gúúsù òkúta náà, ó sì wólẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba ní ìdojúbolẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta fún Jonatani, wọ́n sì fi ẹnu ko ara wọn lẹ́nu, wọ́n sì jùmọ̀ sọkún, èkínní pẹ̀lú èkejì rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi sọkún púpọ̀ jù.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever—[even so let it be]. And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonatani sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà, bí o ti jẹ́ pé àwa méjèèjì tí jùmọ̀ búra ni orúkọ Olúwa pé, ‘Ki Olúwa ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, láàrín irú-ọmọ mi àti láàrín irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ láéláé.’” Òun sì dìde, ó sì lọ kúrò: Jonatani sì lọ sí ìlú.
