1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Erga Daawit Saaʼol wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee, lubbuun Yoonaataan lubbuu Daawititti maxxante; Yoonaataanis akkuma lubbuu ofii isaatti isa jaallate.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Saaʼolis gaafa sanaa jalqabee Daawitin ofitti fudhate; akka inni gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼus hin eeyyamneef.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Yoonaataan sababii akka mataa isaatti isa jaallateef Daawit wajjin kakuu seene.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Yoonaataanis qoloo uffatee ture of irraa baasee kittaa isaa, goraadee isaa, iddaa isaatii fi sabbata isaa dabalee Daawitiif kenne.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Daawit iddoo Saaʼol itti isa erge hunda dhaqee ni milkaaʼa ture. Saaʼolis namoota waraanaa irratti isa sadarkaa ol aanaa kenneef. Wanni kunis saba hundaa fi tajaajiltoota Saaʼol hunda gammachiise.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Dubartoonnis erga Daawit Filisxeemicha ajjeesee booddee yommuu namoonni gara mana ofii isaaniitti deebiʼanitti magaalaawwan Israaʼel hunda keessaa masiinqoo fi dibbee qabatanii faarfannaa gammachuutiin faarfachaa fi shuubbisaa Saaʼol mooticha simachuuf baʼan.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Dubartoonni sunis wal jalaa qabanii: “Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatamaa ajjeese” jedhanii faarfatan.
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Saaʼol akka malee aare; jechi kunis isa hin gammachiifne. Innis, “Isaan Daawitiif kuma kumaatama kennan; anaaf garuu kumaatama qofa kennan. Mootummaa fudhachuu malee maaltu isa hafe?” jedhee yaade.
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Gaafasii jalqabee Saaʼol ija hinaaffaatiin Daawitin ilaala ture.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Guyyaa itti aanutti hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa humnaan Saaʼolitti dhufe. Innis mana isaa keessatti raajii dubbachaa ture; Daawit immoo akkuma duraan godhu sana baganaa taphachaa ture. Saaʼolis eeboo harkatti qabatee ture;
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
innis, “Ani Daawitin keenyanittan hodha” jedhee waan yaadeef eeboo itti darbate. Daawit garuu yeroo lama isa duraa miliqe.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Saaʼolis Daawitin sodaate; Waaqayyo Saaʼolin dhiisee Daawit wajjin tureetii.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitin fuula ofii isaa duraa fageessee ajajaa kumaa isa godhe; Daawitis loltoota hoogganee ni baʼa; ni galas ture.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
Sababii Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef inni waan hojjetu hundumaan ni milkaaʼa ture.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Saaʼolis yeroo akka inni milkaaʼe argetti isa ni sodaate.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaan hundi garuu Daawitin ni jaallatan; inni fuula isaanii dura ni baʼa; ni galas tureetii.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Meerab intalli koo hangafti kunoo ti; ati jagnummaan lola Waaqayyoo loli malee ani ishee sitti nan heerumsiisa” jedhe. Saaʼol, “Harki Filisxeemotaa isa irratti haa kaʼu malee ani harka koo isa irratti hin kaasu” jedhee yaadaa tureetii.
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
Daawit garuu Saaʼoliin, “Soddaa mootii taʼuuf ani eenyu? Maatiin koo yookaan gosti abbaa koo Israaʼel keessatti maali?” jedhe.
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Kanaafuu yommuu yeroon itti Meerab intalli Saaʼol Daawititti heerumtu dhiʼaatetti isheen Adriiʼeel nama biyya Mehoolaatitti heerumte.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Miikaal intalli Saaʼolis Daawitin jaallattee turte; Saaʼolis yeroo waaʼee kanaa dhagaʼetti ni gammade.
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
Innis, “Akka isheen kiyyoo isatti taatuu fi akka harki Filisxeemotaa isa argatuuf ani ishee isatti nan heerumsiisa” jedhee yaade. Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Ati amma soddaa koo taʼuuf carraa lammaffaa qabda” jedhe.
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Ergasiis Saaʼol, “‘Kunoo mootiin sitti gammada; tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus si jaallatu; ati amma soddaa isaa taʼi’ jedhaatii dhoksaadhaan Daawititti himaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Isaanis irra deebiʼanii waan kana Daawititti himan; Daawit garuu, “Soddaa mootii taʼuun waanuma salphaa seetanii? Ani hiyyeessa; nama hamma kanatti beekamus miti” jedhe.
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol waan Daawit jedhe isatti himan;
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saaʼol immoo, “‘Mootichi diinota isaa haaloo baʼuuf misaa Filisxeemotaa dhibba tokko malee gabbara biraa tokko illee sirraa hin barbaadu’ jedhaatii Daawititti himaa” jedhe. Karoorri Saaʼol akka Daawit harka Filisxeemotaatti kufu ture.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Yommuu tajaajiltoonni sun waan kana Daawititti himanitti, Daawit soddaa mootii taʼuuf ni gammade. Kanaafuu utuu yeroon isaa hin gaʼin,
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
Daawitii fi namoonni isaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota dhibba lama ajjeesan. Daawitis soddaa mootii taʼuuf jedhee misaa Filisxeemota ajjeefamanii hunda fidee mootichatti kenne. Kana irratti Saaʼol intala isaa Miikaalin isatti heerumsiise.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Saaʼol yommuu akka Waaqayyo Daawit wajjin jiruu fi akka Miikaal isa jaallate hubatetti,
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
ammas akka malee isa sodaate; bara jireenya isaa kan hafe hundas diina isaa taʼee jiraate.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Ajajjoonni waraana Filisxeemotaas yeroo hedduu waraanaaf ni baʼu turan; yeroo isaan waraanaaf baʼan hundas Daawit qondaaltota Saaʼol kaan caalaa moʼannaa argata ture; maqaan isaas baayʼee beekame.
