1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
Nígbà tí Saulu padà kúrò lẹ́yìn àwọn Filistini a sì sọ fún un pé, “Wò ó, Dafidi ń bẹ́ ni aginjù En-Gedi.”
2 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
Saulu sì mú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta akọni ọkùnrin tí a yàn nínú gbogbo Israẹli ó sì lọ láti wá Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ lórí òkúta àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó.
3 and he comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding in the sides of the cave.
Ó sì dé ibi àwọn agbo àgùntàn tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà, ihò kan sì wà níbẹ̀, Saulu sì wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ láti bo ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ lẹ́bàá ihò náà.
4 And the men of David say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, èyí ni ọjọ́ náà tí Olúwa wí fún ọ pé, ‘Wò ó, èmi fi ọ̀tá rẹ lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ ó sì ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ lójú rẹ.’” Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì yọ́ lọ gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
5 And it comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn èyí, àyà já Dafidi nítorí tí ó gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
Òun sì wí fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Èèwọ̀ ni fún mi láti ọ̀dọ́ Olúwa wá bí èmi bá ṣe nǹkan yìí sí ẹni tí a ti fi àmì òróró Olúwa yàn, láti nawọ́ mi sí i, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni.”
7 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the way;
Dafidi sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí dá àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ dúró, kò sì jẹ́ kí wọn dìde sí Saulu, Saulu sì dìde kúrò ní ihò náà, ó sì bá ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ.
8 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
Dafidi sì dìde lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì jáde kúrò nínú ihò náà ó sì kọ sí Saulu pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba!” Saulu sì wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Dafidi sì dojú rẹ́ bo ilẹ̀ ó sì tẹríba fún un.
9 And David says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
Dafidi sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ fi ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn pé, ‘Wò ó, Dafidi ń wa ẹ̀mí rẹ́’?
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
Wò ó, ojú rẹ́ rí i lónìí, bí Olúwa ti fi ìwọ lé mi lọ́wọ́ lónìí nínú ihò, àwọn kan ní kí èmi ó pa ọ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi dá ọ sí, ‘Èmi sì wí pé, èmi kì yóò nawọ́ mi sí olúwa mi, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni òun jẹ́.’
11 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting my soul to take it!
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, baba mi, wò ó, àní wo etí aṣọ rẹ lọ́wọ́ mi; nítorí èmi gé etí aṣọ rẹ, èmi kò sì pa ọ́, sì wò ó, kí o sì mọ̀ pé kò sí ibi tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi kò sì ṣẹ̀ ọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń dọdẹ ẹ̀mí mi láti gbà á.
12 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not on you;
Kí Olúwa ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, àti kí Olúwa ó gbẹ̀san mi lára rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n, ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
13 as the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not on you.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òwe ìgbà àtijọ́ ti wí, ìwà búburú a máa ti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú jáde wá; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
“Nítorí ta ni ọba Israẹli fi jáde? Ta ni ìwọ ń lépa? Òkú ajá, tàbí eṣinṣin?
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers me out of your hand.”
Kí Olúwa ó ṣe onídàájọ́, kí ó sì dájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, kí ó sì gbèjà mi, kí ó sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ.”
16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Dafidi sì dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún Saulu, Saulu sì wí pé, “Ohùn rẹ ni èyí bí, Dafidi ọmọ mi?” Saulu sì gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sọkún.
17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil;
Ó sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ìwọ ṣe olódodo jù mí lọ; nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìre san án fún mi, èmi fi ibi san án fún ọ.
18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
Ìwọ sì fi oore tí ìwọ ti ṣe fún mi hàn lónìí: nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé, Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí mi lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ kò sì pa mí.
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day.
Nítorí pé bí ènìyàn bá rí ọ̀tá rẹ̀, ó lè jẹ́ kí ó lọ ní àlàáfíà bí? Olúwa yóò sì fi ìre san èyí ti ìwọ ṣe fún mi lónìí.
20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
Wò ó, èmi mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, nítòótọ́ ìwọ ó jẹ ọba, àti pé ìjọba Israẹli yóò sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ.
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
Sì búra fún mi nísinsin yìí ní orúkọ Olúwa, pé, ìwọ kì yóò gé irú-ọmọ mi kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, àti pé, ìwọ kì yóò pa orúkọ mi run kúrò ní ìdílé baba mi.”
22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
Dafidi sì búra fún Saulu. Saulu sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ sí ihò náà.
