1 Samuel 22
1 And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to him there;
Davide anachoka kumeneko nathawira ku phanga la Adulamu. Abale ake ndi banja lonse la abambo ake anamva izi, anapita kumene kunali Davide.
2 and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about four hundred men with him.
Ndipo aliyense amene anali pa mavuto, kapena ndi ngongole kapenanso amene anali wosakondwa anasonkhana kwa iye, ndipo iye anakhala mtsogoleri wawo. Onse pamodzi analipo amuna 400.
3 And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;
Kuchokera kumeneko Davide anapita ku Mizipa ku Mowabu ndipo anapempha mfumu ya Mowabu kuti, “Bwanji abambo ndi amayi anga akhale nanu mpaka ine nditadziwa chimene Mulungu adzachite nane?”
4 and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.
Choncho iye anawasiya kwa mfumu ya Mowabu ndipo anakhala naye nthawi yonse imene Davide ankabisala ku phanga kuja.
5 And the prophet Gad says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.
Koma mneneri Gadi anawuza Davide kuti, “Usakhale ku phanga kuno. Pita ku dziko la Yuda.” Kotero Davide anachoka ndi kupita ku nkhalango ya Hereti.
6 And Saul hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by him.
Tsono Sauli anamva kuti Davide ndi anthu ake apezeka. Nthawiyo nʼkuti Sauli atakhala pansi pa mtengo wa bwemba pa phiri la ku Gibeya, mkondo uli mʼdzanja lake ndi ankhondo ake atayima chomuzungulira.
7 And Saul says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads of hundreds?
Tsono Sauli anafunsa ankhondo ake aja kuti, “Tamverani inu anthu a fuko la Benjamini! Kodi mwana wa Yese adzakupatsani nonsenu minda ndi minda ya mpesa? Kodi nonsenu adzakuyikani kukhala atsogoleri a magulu ankhondo?
8 For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.”
Mwinatu nʼchifukwa chake mwagwirizana zondichita chiwembu. Palibe amene anandiwuza pamene mwana wanga ankapanga pangano ndi mwana wa Yese. Palibe aliyense amene ankalabadirako za ine kapena kundiwuza kuti mwana wanga wautsa mtima wa wantchito wanga kuti andiwukire monga wachitira lero.”
9 And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub,
Koma Doegi Mwedomu anayima pafupi ndi nduna za Sauli nati, “Ine ndinaona mwana wa Yese atabwera kwa Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubi ku Nobi.
10 and he inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”
Ahimelekiyo anafunsa kwa Yehova chomwe Davide ayenera kuchita. Iye anamupatsa zakudya ndiponso lupanga la Goliati Mfilisiti uja.”
11 And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;
Pamenepo mfumu inayitanitsa wansembe Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubi ndi banja lonse la abambo ake, amene anali ansembe ku Nobi. Ndipo onse anabwera kwa mfumu.
12 and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “Here I [am], my lord.”
Sauli anati, “Tsono tamvera, mwana wa Ahitubi.” Iye anayankha kuti, “Inde mbuye wanga.”
13 And Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?”
Sauli anamufunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani iwe ndi mwana wa Yese mwandiwukira ine? Wamupatsa buledi ndi lupanga. Wafunsiranso kwa Yehova zoti andiwukire ndi kundibisalira monga wachita leromu?”
14 And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your house?
Ahimeleki anayankha mfumu kuti, “Kodi ndani mwa ankhondo anu onse amene ali wokhulupirika monga Davide? Iye uja ndi mkamwini wa mfumu, kapitawo wa asilikali okutetezani ndiponso munthu amene amalemekezedwa mʼbanja lanu?
15 Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”
Kodi tsiku limeneli linali loyamba kuti ndimufunsire kwa Yehova? Ayi sichoncho! Mfumu musandinenere kanthu kalikonse koyipa kapena banja la abambo anga, pakuti sindikudziwa kanthu kena kalikonse ka zimenezi.”
16 And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
Koma mfumu inati, “Iwe Ahimeleki ndi banja lonse la abambo ako mudzaphedwa ndithu.”
17 And the king says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.
Kenaka mfumu inalamulira alonda amene anali naye kuti, “Iphani ansembe a Yehovawa chifukwa iwo akugwirizana ndi Davide. Iwo amadziwa kuti Davide ankathawa koma sanandiwuze.” Koma antchito a mfumu aja sanasamule dzanja kuti aphe ansembe a Yehova.
18 And the king says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod,
Kotero mfumu inalamula Doegi kuti, “Uwaphe ndiwe ansembewa.” Choncho Doegi Mwedomu anapita ndi kuwapha. Tsiku limenelo iye anapha amuna 85 amene amavala efodi wa nsalu yofewa.
19 and Nob, the city of the priests, he has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.
Kunena za Nobi, mzinda wa ansembe, Sauli anapha amuna ndi amayi, ana ndi makanda pamodzi ndi ngʼombe, abulu ndi nkhosa.
20 And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,
Koma Abiatara mwana wa Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubi anapulumuka ndi kuthawira kwa Davide.
21 and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.
Abiatara anawuza Davide kuti Sauli wapha ansembe a Yehova.
22 And David says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;
Ndipo Davide anati kwa Abiatara, “Tsiku lija pamene Doegi Mwedomu anali kumene kuja, ine ndimadziwa kuti salephera kukamuwuza Sauli. Ine ndi amene ndaphetsa banja lonse la abambo ako.
23 dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
Iwe khala ndi ine, usaope munthu amene akufuna moyo wako komanso wanga. Udzatetezeka ukakhala ndi ine.”
