1 Samuel 23
1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Ke'ilah, and they are plundering the threshing-floors.
Daawit yommuu, “Kunoo, Filisxeemonni Qeyiilaatti waraana bananii oobdii saamaa jiru” jedhanii itti himanitti,
2 Thereupon David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite among these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go and smite among the Philistines, and deliver Ke'ilah.
“Ani dhaqee Filisxeemota kanneen waraanuu?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Dhaqii Filisxeemota waraaniitii Qeyiilaa baraar” jedhee deebiseef.
3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, here in Judah are we afraid: how much more then if we should go to Ke'ilah against the battle-arrays of the Philistines?
Namoonni Daawit garuu, “Nu as Yihuudaa keessatti iyyuu sodaachaa jirra. Yoo loltoota Filisxeemotaa waraanuuf Qeyiilaa dhaqne immoo hammam haa sodaannu!” jedhaniin.
4 Then David asked yet again counsel of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go down to Ke'ilah; for I [will] deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
Daawit ammas deebiʼee Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyos, “Qeyiilaatti gad buʼi; ani Filisxeemota dabarsee harka keetti nan kennaatii” jedhee deebiseef.
5 So David and his men went to Ke'ilah; and he fought with the Philistines, and lead away their cattle, and smote among them a great slaughter. So David delivered the inhabitants of Ke'ilah.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Qeyiilaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota waraananii horii isaanii boojiʼan. Daawitis miidhaa guddaa Filisxeemotatti fidee akkasiin saba Qeyiilaa baraare.
6 And it came to pass, when Ebyathar the son of Achimelech, fled over to David, to Ke'ilah, that the ephod came down with him.
Abiyaataar ilmi Ahiimelek sunis yeroo gara Qeyiilaa gara Daawititti baqatetti dirata fudhatee dhufe.
7 And it was told to Saul that David was come to Ke'ilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
Akka Daawit Qeyiilaa dhaqe Saaʼolitti himan; innis, “Waan Daawit magaalaa karraa fi danqaraa qabdu keessa seenuudhaan ofitti cufeef Waaqni isa dabarsee natti kenneera” jedhe.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Ke'ilah, to besiege David and his men.
Saaʼolis akka isaan Qeyiilaatti gad buʼanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa marsaniif jedhee loltoota isaa hunda duulaaf walitti waammate.
9 And David understood that Saul secretly devised mischief against him; and he said to Ebyathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
Daawitis yeroo akka Saaʼol hammina isatti yaade beeketti Abiyaataar lubichaan, “Dirata sana as fidi” jedhe.
10 Then said David, O Lord, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Ke'ilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
Ergasiis Daawit akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel akka Saaʼol gara Qeyiilaa dhufee sababii kootiif jedhee magaalattii barbadeessuuf karoorfate garbichi kee dhugumaan dhagaʼeera.
11 Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me into his hand? will Saul come down as thy servant hath heard? O Lord, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.
Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa isatti dabarsanii na kennuu? Akkuma garbichi kee dhagaʼe sana Saaʼol ni dhufaa? Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel mee garbicha keetti himi.” Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee inni ni dhufa” jedhe.
12 Then said David, Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul! And the Lord said, They will surrender.
Daawit ammas, “Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa anaa fi namoota koo dabarsanii Saaʼolitti ni kennuu?” jedhee gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee isin kennu” jedhe.
13 Then arose David and his men, about six hundred men, and departed out of Ke'ilah, and wandered about whithersoever they could go. And when it was told to Saul that David was escaped from Ke'ilah, he forbore to go forth.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa kanneen gara dhibba jaʼa taʼan Qeyiilaadhaa kaʼanii gara dhaquu dandaʼan hunda dhaqan. Saaʼolis yommuu akka Daawit Qeyiilaa keessaa baqate dhagaʼetti achi hin dhaqne.
14 And David remained in the wilderness in strong-holds, and abode on the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him all the time, but God delivered him not into his hand.
Daawitis daʼannoowwan gammoojjii keessaatii fi gaarran Gammoojjii Ziif keessa ture. Saaʼolis guyyuma guyyaan isa barbaadaa ture; Waaqni garuu dabarsee harka isaatti Daawitin hin kennine.
15 And David saw that Saul was gone forth to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.
Daawit utuu Gammoojjii Ziif keessa iddoo Hooreshaa jedhamu tokko jiruu akka Saaʼol isa ajjeesuuf dhufe beeke.
16 And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose and went to David into the forest, and strengthened his hand in God.
Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼolis Daawit bira Hooreshaa dhaqe; maqaa Waaqaatiinis isa jajjabeesse.
17 And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou wilt be king over Israel, and I will be next unto thee; and also Saul my father knoweth this.
Innis, “Hin sodaatin; abbaan koo Saaʼol harkumaanuu si hin tuqu. Ati mootii Israaʼel taata; ani immoo itti aanaa kee nan taʼa. Abbaan koo Saaʼol iyyuu waan kana ni beeka” jedheen.
18 And they made, both of them, a covenant before the Lord: and David remained in the forest; but Jonathan went to his house.
Isaan lamaanuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu walii galan. Ergasii Yoonaataan mana ofii isaatti gale; Daawit immoo Hooreshaatti hafe.
19 Then came up the Ziphites unto Saul to Gib'ah, saying, Behold, David is hiding himself with us in the strong-holds in the forest, on the hill of Chachilah, which is on the right of the desert.
Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa gara Saaʼol dhaqanii akkana jedhan; “Daawit kibba Yasemooniin gaara Hakiilaa irra daʼannoowwan Hooreshaa keessa dhokatee gidduu keenya jira mitii?
20 And now in accordance with all the longing of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand.
Yaa mootii, ati gaafa dhufuu feete kottu; nu isa dabarsinee sitti ni kennina.”
21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have pity on me.
Saaʼolis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Waan isin naa yaaddaniif Waaqayyo isin haa eebbisu.
22 Go, I pray you, make yet more preparations, and remark and see his place where his foot may be, who hath seen him there; for I am told that he dealeth with great subtilty.
Dhaqaatii ittuma fufaa qophaaʼaa. Iddoo Daawit yeroo baayʼee dhaquu fi nama achitti isa argu illee hubadhaa. Akka inni nama daba hojjetu taʼe natti himaniiru.
23 See therefore, and remark every one of all the lurking-places where he usually hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
Iddoo inni itti dhokatu hundumaa barbaadaatii oduu mirkanaaʼaa fidaa kottaa. Ergasii ani isin wajjin nan deema; yoo inni naannoo sana jiraate ani kumaatama Yihuudaa hunda keessaa barbaadee isa nan arga.”
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the plain on the right of the desert.
Kanaafuu isaan kaʼanii Saaʼol dursanii Ziif dhaqan. Daawitii fi namoonni isaa gama kibba Yasemooniin Gammoojjii Maaʼoon kan Arabbaatti argamtu keessa turan.
25 And Saul and his men went to make a search. And they told it to David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard this, he pursued after David into the wilderness of Ma'on.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa Daawitin barbaaduu jalqaban; Daawitis yommuu waan kana itti himanitti gara kattaatti gad buʼee Gammoojjii Maaʼoon keessa ture. Saaʼolis yeroo waan kana dhagaʼetti Daawitin ariʼuuf Gammoojjii Maaʼoon seene.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from before Saul; and Saul and his men were compassing David and his men to seize them.
Saaʼol gaara gubbaa karaa tokkoon deemaa ture; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo Saaʼol duraa baqachuuf jedhanii ariifachaa tulluu sana irra karaa kaaniin deeman. Yeroo Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa itti dhiʼaatanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa qabachuu gaʼanitti,
27 But a messenger came unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
ergamaan tokko gara Saaʼol dhufee, “Dafiitii kottu! Filisxeemonni biyyattii weeraranii jiruutii” jedhe.
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammachlekoth.
Saaʼolis Daawitin ariʼuu dhiisee Filisxeemotatti gara gale. Kanaafuu iddoon sun, “Kattaa gargar baʼumsaa” jedhame.
29 And David went up from there, and dwelt in strong-holds of 'En-gedi.
Daawitis achii deemee daʼannoowwan Een Gaadii keessa jiraate.
