1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gib'ah, saying, Behold, David hideth himself on the hill of Chachilah, before the desert.
Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa Saaʼol bira dhaqanii, “Kunoo Daawit gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagaltu irra dhokatee jira mitii?” jedhan.
2 Then arose Saul, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him were three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Kanaafuu Saaʼol namoota Israaʼel keessaa filataman kuma sadii wajjin Daawitin barbaacha Gammoojjii Ziifitti gad buʼe.
3 And Saul encamped on the hill of Chachilah, which is before the desert by the way; but David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.
Saaʼol qubata isaa daandii gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagalu sana cina dhaabbate; Daawit garuu gammoojjii keessa ture. Innis yeroo akka Saaʼol isa duukaa buʼaa jiru beeketti,
4 David thereupon sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come for a certainty.
basaastota ergee akka Saaʼol dhugumaan achi gaʼe mirkaneeffate.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul was encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army; and Saul was lying in the midst of the ring, and the people were encamped round about him.
Daawitis achii baʼee iddoo Saaʼol qubate dhaqe. Innis iddoo Saaʼolii fi Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltootaa ciciisan arge. Saaʼol qubata keessa rafe; loltoonnis isa marsanii turan.
6 Then commenced David and said to Achimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruyah, the brother of Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will readily go down with thee.
Daawitis Ahiimelek namicha Heetii fi Abiishaayi ilma Zeruuyaa obboleessa Yooʼaabiin, “Eenyutu na wajjin gara qubata kanaa Saaʼolitti seena?” jedhee gaafate. Abiishaayis, “Anatu si wajjin seena” jedhe.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the ring, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head; but Abner and the people were lying round about him.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi Abiishaayi halkaniin gara loltootaa dhaqan; Saaʼol eeboo isaa mataa isaa bira lafatti dhaabee qubata keessa rafaa ture. Abneerii fi loltoonni immoo isa marsanii ciciisaa turan.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath surrendered this day thy enemy into thy hand: and now let me strike him through, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the earth with one blow, and I will not give him a second one.
Abiishaayis Daawitiin, “Harʼa Waaqni diinota kee dabarsee harka keetti kenneera. Mee akka ani utuu itti hin deebiʼin yeruma tokkoon eeboo kootiin waraanee lafatti isa hodhu naa eeyyami; irra deebiʼee dhaʼuus na hin barbaachisu” jedhe.
9 But David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who hath stretched forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and remained guiltless?
Daawit garuu Abiishaayiin akkana jedhe; “Isa hin ajjeesin! Namni nama Waaqayyo dibetti harka ol fudhatee yakka malee hafu jiraa?
10 David said farthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord alone shall strike him down: either his day shall come that he die; or he shall go down into battle, and perish.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Waaqayyo mataan isaa iyyuu isa ni galaafata yookaan inni yeroon isaa gaʼee ni duʼa yookaan duula dhaqee achitti ni duʼa.
11 Far be this from me for the sake of the Lord, that I should stretch forth my hand against the Lord's anointed; but now, I pray thee, take thou the spear that is by his head, and the cruise of water, and let us go our way.
Garuu akka ani dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka koo ol hin kaafanne Waaqayyo na haa eegu; amma garuu eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa isaa bira jiru fuudhiitii haa deemnu.”
12 So David took the spear and the cruise of water by the head of Saul, and they went their way; and no one saw it, and no one perceived it, and-no one awaked; for they were all sleeping; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.
Kanaafuu Daawit eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa Saaʼol bira ture sana fudhatee kaʼanii deeman. Namni waan kana arge yookaan beeke tokko iyyuu hin turre yookaan namni tokko iyyuu hin dammaqne. Sababii Waaqayyo hirriba cimaa isaanitti gad dhiiseef hundi isaanii rafanii turan.
13 Then went David over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mount afar off, the space between them being great.
Ergasii Daawit gamatti ceʼee fagaatee fiixee gaara irra dhaabate; gidduu isaaniis lafa balʼaatu ture.
14 And David called to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answered and said, Who art thou that callest to the king?
Daawitis loltootaa fi Abneer ilma Neeriitiin, “Yaa Abneer, ati deebii naaf hin kennituu?” jedhee lallabe. Abneeris deebisee, “Ati kan mootiitti iyyitu eenyu?” jedhe.
15 And David said to Abner, Art thou not a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept guard over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people to destroy the king thy lord.
Daawit akkana jedhe; “Abneer, ati jagna mitii? Israaʼel keessatti namni siin qixxaatu eenyu? Ati maaliif gooftaa kee mooticha sirriitti hin eegne? Kunoo namni tokko gooftaa kee mooticha ajjeesuuf dhufee tureetii.
16 This thing which thou hast done is not good. As the Lord liveth, ye deserve to die; because ye have not kept guard over your master, over the Lord's anointed. And now see, where is the king's spear, and the cruise of water that was by his head?
Wanni ati goote gaarii miti. Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, atii fi namoonni kee duʼuu qabdu; isin gooftaa keessan dibamaa Waaqayyoo sana hin eegneetii. Mee naannoo kee ilaali. Eeboo fi cuggeen bishaanii kan mataa mootichaa bira ture sun meerre?”
17 And Saul recognized David's voice, and he said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my Lord, O king.
Saaʼol sagalee Daawit beekee, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhe. Daawitis, “Eeyyee; sagalee koo ti; yaa gooftaa koo mootii” jedhee deebise.
18 And he said, Why is this that my lord doth pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
Itti fufees akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo maaliif tajaajilaa isaa ariʼa? Ani maalin godhe? Ani yakka maalin qaba?
19 And now, I pray thee, let my Lord the king hear the words of his servant! If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, then may he accept the savor of an offering; but if they be the children of men, then be they cursed before the Lord; because they have driven me out this day so that I cannot attach myself on the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Egaa mee gooftaan koo mootichi dubbii tajaajilaa isaa haa dhagaʼu. Yoo Waaqayyo natti si kakaasee jiraate inni aarsaa haa fudhatu. Garuu namoonni yoo waan kana godhanii jiraatan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa abaaraman! Isaan akka ani dhaala Waaqayyoo keessaa qooda hin qabaanneef na ariʼanii, ‘Dhaqiitii waaqota biraa tajaajili’ jedhan.
20 Now, therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth far from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as one doth usually pursue a partridge on the mountains.
Dhiigni koo fuula Waaqayyoo duraa fagaatee akka lafatti dhangalaʼu hin godhin. Akkuma namni tokko gaara gubbaatti gogorrii adamsu sana mootiin Israaʼel tafkii barbaaduu baʼeera.”
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will not do thee harm any more, for the cause that my life was precious in thy eyes this day: behold, I have acted foolishly, and have erred exceedingly much.
Saaʼolis, “Ani yakka hojjedheera. Yaa ilma koo Daawit kottuu deebiʼi. Sababii harʼa lubbuun koo fuula kee duratti ulfina argatteef ani lammata si miidhuu hin yaalu. Ani dhugumaan hojii gowwummaa hojjedheera; guddaas dogoggoreera jedhe.”
22 And David answered and said, Behold, here is the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Daawitis akkana jedhee deebise; “Eeboon mootichaa kunoo ti; dargaggoota kee keessaa namni tokko dhufee haa fuudhu.
23 And may the Lord recompense to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; since the Lord delivered thee into my hand today, and I would not stretch forth my hand against the anointed of the Lord.
Waaqayyo nama hundaaf qajeelummaa isaatii fi amanamummaa isaatiif gatii ni kenna. Waaqayyo harʼa dabarsee harka kootti si kennee ture; ani garuu dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka ol hin fudhadhu.
24 And behold, as thy life was highly valued this day in my eyes, so may my life be highly valued in the eyes of the Lord, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation.
Akkuma ani harʼa lubbuu kee ulfeesse kana, Waaqayyos lubbuu koo ulfeessee rakkina hunda jalaa na haa baasu.”
25 Then said Saul to David, Blessed be thou my son David: thou wilt both do great things, and wilt also surely prevail. And David went then on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Kana irratti Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit eebbifami; ati waan guddaa hojjetta; dhugumaanis ni moʼatta” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit karaa isaa itti fufe; Saaʼolis gara manaatti deebiʼe.
