1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from pursuing the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of 'En-gedi.
Erga Saaʼol Filisxeemota ariʼuu irraa deebiʼee booddee, “Daawit Gammoojjii Een Gaad keessa jira” jedhanii isatti himan.
2 Then took Saul three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
Kana irratti Saaʼol guutummaa Israaʼel keessaa namoota filatamoo kuma sadii fudhatee Daawitii fi namoota isaa barbaacha gara Kattaa Reʼoota diidaa dhaqe.
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, and there was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men were sitting in the lower end of the cave.
Saaʼolis gara dallaa hoolotaa kan karaa cinaa sanaa dhufe; holqa tokkotu achi ture; Saaʼolis gad taaʼuuf achi seene. Daawitii fi namoonni isaas holquma sana keessa achi fagaatanii turan.
4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold, this is the day of which the Lord hath said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. And David arose, and cut off the corner of the robe which Saul wore, unperceived.
Namoonni Daawitis, “Guyyaan Waaqayyo, ‘Ani akka ati akkuma feete isa gootuuf diina kee dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna’ jedhee waaʼee isaa sitti hime sun harʼa” isaan jedhan. Daawitis lafa irra looʼee utuu hin beekamin fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol irraa kute.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off the corner of Saul's [robe].
Kana booddee Daawit waan fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol kuteef ni gaabbe.
6 And he said unto his men, Far be it from me for the Lord's sake, that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him; because he is the anointed of the Lord.
Namoota isaatiinis, “Gooftaa koo kan Waaqayyo dibetti waan akkasii gochuu yookaan harka koo isatti ol kaafachuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa oolchu; inni dibamaa Waaqayyootii” jedhe.
7 So David restrained his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Daawitis dubbii kanaan namoota isaa ifatee akka isaan Saaʼolin hin tuqne godhe. Saaʼolis holqa sana keessaa baʼee qajeele.
8 David also arose afterward, and went forth out of the cave, and called after Saul, saying, My Lord, the king! And Saul then looked behind him, and David bowed his face to the earth, and prostrated himself.
Ergasii Daawit holqa sana keessaa baʼee, “Yaa gooftaa koo mootii!” jedhee Saaʼolin waame. Yeroo Saaʼol of irra garagalee ilaaletti Daawit gad jedhee, addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore wilt thou listen to men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy injury?
Innis Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif dubbii namoonni, ‘Daawit si miidhuu barbaada’ jedhan dhageessa?
10 Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee today into my hand in the cave, and some one said that I should kill thee: but my soul felt compassion for thee: and I said, I will not stretch forth my hand against my Lord; because he is the anointed of the Lord.
Akka Waaqayyo holqa kana keessatti dabarsee harka kootti si kenne harʼa ijuma keetiin argiteerta. Namoonni tokko tokko akka ani si ajjeesu na gorsan; ani garuu si ajjeesuu nan dide; anis, ‘Sababii inni dibamaa Waaqayyoo taʼeef, ani gooftaa kootti harka koo ol hin fudhadhun’ jedhe.
11 And now, my father, see, yea, see the corner of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and that I have not sinned against thee: yet thou liest in wait for my soul to take it.
Yaa abbaa ko, kunoo fiixee wayyaa keetii harka koo keessatti ilaali! Ani fiixee wayyaa keetii nan kute; garuu si hin ajjeefne. Egaa akka ani yakka hin qabnee fi fincilaa hin taʼin hubadhu. Ani homaa si hin goone; ati garuu na ajjeesuuf na adamsaa jirta.
12 May the Lord judge between me and thee, and may the Lord avenge me on thee; but my hand shall not be against thee.
Waaqayyo siʼii fi ana gidduutti murtii haa kennu. Yakka ati natti hojjette Waaqayyo haaloo haa baasu; ani garuu harka kootiinuu si hin tuqu.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the wicked proceedeth wickedness; but my hand shall not be against thee.
Akkuma mammaaksi durii, ‘Namoota hamoo irraa waan hamaatu dhufa’ jedhu sana harki koo si hin tuqu.
14 After whom is the king of Israel gone out? after whom art thou pursuing? after a dead dog, after a single flea.
“Mootiin Israaʼel eenyun adamsuuf gad baʼee? Ati eenyuun ariʼaa jirta? Saree duutee? Tafkiidhaa?
15 May the Lord therefore be judge, and decide between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and obtain me justice out of thy hand.
Waaqayyo abbaa murtii nuuf taʼee gidduu keenyatti haa murteessu. Inni dubbii koo ilaalee naaf haa falmu; harka kee jalaas na haa baasu.”
16 And it came to pass, When David had finished speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Yeroo Daawit waan kana dubbatee xumuretti Saaʼol, “Daawit yaa ilma ko, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhee gaafate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast done for me only what is good, whereas I have rewarded thee only with what is evil.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ati na caalaa nama qajeelaa dha; yeroo ani waan hamaa sitti yaadetti ati immoo waan gaarii naa goote.
18 And thou hast proved this day, that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the Lord had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
Ati waan gaarii naaf goote amma natti himteerta; Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keetti na kennee ture; ati garuu na hin ajjeefne.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go away on a good road? so may the Lord reward thee with good for what thou hast done unto me this day.
Namni tokko yeroo diina isaa argutti utuu hin miidhin gad dhiisaa? Waan ati harʼa naa goote kanaaf Waaqayyo gatii siif haa kennu.
20 And now, behold, I know that thou wilt surely become king, and that the kingdom of Israel will stand firmly in thy hand.
Akka ati dhugumaan mootii taatuu fi akka mootummaan Israaʼel harka keetti jabaatee dhaabatu anuu beeka.
21 And now swear unto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
Ati akka sanyii koo hin balleessine yookaan akka maqaa koos maatii abbaa koo keessaa hin balleessine amma maqaa Waaqayyootiin naaf kakadhu.”
22 And David swore unto Saul; and Saul went to his house; but David and his men went up into the strong-hold.
Kana irratti Daawit Saaʼoliif kakate. Ergasii Saaʼol manatti gale; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa garuu daʼannootti deebiʼan.
