1 Samuel 23
1 David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors."
Wọ́n sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Sá wò ó, àwọn ará Filistini ń bá ará Keila jagun, wọ́n sì ja àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà lólè.”
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and strike these Philistines?" Then the LORD replied, "Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah."
Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa pé, “Ṣé kí èmi ó lọ kọlu àwọn ará Filistini wọ̀nyí bí?” Olúwa sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Lọ kí o sì kọlu àwọn ará Filistini kí o sì gba Keila sílẹ̀.”
3 David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, àwa ń bẹ̀rù níhìn-ín yìí ní Juda; ǹjẹ́ yóò ti rí nígbà ti àwa bá dé Keila láti fi ojú ko ogun àwọn ara Filistini?”
4 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."
Dafidi sì tún béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa. Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Dìde, kí o sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Keila, nítorí pé èmi ó fi àwọn ará Filistini náà lé ọ lọ́wọ́.”
5 David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì lọ sí Keila, wọ́n sì bá àwọn ará Filistini jà, wọ́n sì kó ohun ọ̀sìn wọn, wọ́n sì fi ìparun ńlá pa wọ́n. Dafidi sì gba àwọn ará Keila sílẹ̀.
6 It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keilah, having an ephod in his hand.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Abiatari ọmọ Ahimeleki fi sá tọ Dafidi lọ ní Keila, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ òun pẹ̀lú efodu kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
7 Now it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has sold him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering into a town that has gates and bars."
A sì sọ fún Saulu pé Dafidi wá sí Keila. Saulu sì wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti fi í lé mi lọ́wọ́; nítorí tí ó ti sé ara rẹ̀ mọ́ ní ti wíwá tí ó wá sí ìlú tí ó ní ìlẹ̀kùn àti kẹrẹ.”
8 Then Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
Saulu sì pe gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà jọ sí ogun, láti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Keila, láti ká Dafidi mọ́ àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
Dafidi sì mọ̀ pé Saulu ti gbèrò búburú sí òun; ó sì wí fún Abiatari àlùfáà náà pé, “Mú efodu náà wá níhìn-ín yìí!”
10 Then David said, "LORD, God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
Dafidi sì wí pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, lóòótọ́ ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti gbọ́ pé Saulu ń wá ọ̀nà láti wá sí Keila, láti wá fọ́ ìlú náà nítorí mi.
11 And now, will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, God of Israel, tell your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."
Àwọn àgbà ìlú Keila yóò fi mí lé e lọ́wọ́ bí? Saulu yóò ha sọ̀kalẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti gbọ́ bí?” Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, wí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Olúwa sì wí pé, “Yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá.”
12 Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" The LORD said, "They will deliver you up."
Dafidi sì wí pé, “Àwọn àgbà ìlú Keila yóò fi èmi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin mi lé Saulu lọ́wọ́ bí?” Olúwa sì wí pé, “Wọn ó fi ọ́ lé wọn lọ́wọ́.”
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And Saul was told that David had escaped Keilah; so he gave up the pursuit.
Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ tí wọ́n tó ẹgbẹ̀ta ènìyàn sì dìde, wọ́n lọ kúrò ní Keila, wọ́n sì lọ sí ibikíbi tí wọ́n lè rìn lọ. A sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Dafidi ti sá kúrò ní Keila; kò sì lọ sí Keila mọ́.”
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but the LORD did not deliver him into his hand.
Dafidi sì ń gbé ní aginjù, níbi tí ó ti sá pamọ́ sí, ó sì ń gbé níbi òkè ńlá kan ní aginjù Sifi. Saulu sì ń wá a lójoojúmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kò fi lé e lọ́wọ́.
15 Now David was afraid that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
Nígbà tí Dafidi wà ní Horeṣi ní aginjù Sifi, Dafidi sì rí i pé, Saulu ti jáde láti wá ẹ̀mí òun kiri.
16 Jonathan, Saul's son, set out and came to David at Horesh and encouraged him in the LORD.
Jonatani ọmọ Saulu sì dìde, ó sì tọ Dafidi lọ nínú igbó Horeṣi, ó sì gbà á ní ìyànjú nípa ti Ọlọ́run.
17 He said to him, "Do not be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows."
Òun sì wí fún un pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, nítorí tí ọwọ́ Saulu baba mi kì yóò tẹ̀ ọ́. Ìwọ ni yóò jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, èmi ni yóò sì ṣe ibìkejì rẹ. Saulu baba mi mọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.”
18 They both made a covenant before the LORD: and David stayed at Horesh, and Jonathan went to his house.
Àwọn méjèèjì sì ṣe àdéhùn níwájú Olúwa; Dafidi sì jókòó nínú igbó Horeṣi. Jonatani sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, "Doesn't David hide himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
Àwọn ará Sifi sì gòkè tọ Saulu wá sí Gibeah, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ṣé Dafidi ti fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ sọ́dọ̀ wa ní ibi gíga ìsápamọ́sí ní Horeṣi, ní òkè Hakila, tí ó wà níhà gúúsù ti Jeṣimoni.
20 Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of your soul to come down. It will be our responsibility to deliver him up into the king's hand."
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ọba, sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá gẹ́gẹ́ bi gbogbo ìfẹ́ tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ láti sọ̀kalẹ̀: ipa tí àwa ní láti fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
21 Saul said, "You are blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ẹ̀yin nípa Olúwa; nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ti káàánú fún mi.
22 Please go investigate again, and look around and learn the place where his swift foot is, for I am told that he is very clever.
Lọ, èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ tún múra, kí ẹ sì mọ̀ ki ẹ si rí ibi tí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ gbé wà, àti ẹni tí ó rí níbẹ̀: nítorí tí a ti sọ fún mi pé, ọgbọ́n ni ó ń lò jọjọ.
23 See therefore, and find out all the hiding places where he hides himself, and come back to me when you know for certain, and I will go with you. And it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search for him among all the thousands of Judah."
Ẹ sì wò, kí ẹ sì mọ ibi ìsápamọ́ tí ó máa ń sá pamọ́ sí, kí ẹ sì tún padà tọ̀ mí wá, kí èmi lè mọ̀ dájú; èmi ó sì bá yín lọ: yóò sì ṣe bí ó bá wà ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli, èmi ó sì wá a ní àwárí nínú gbogbo ẹgbẹ̀rún Juda!”
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of Jeshimon.
Wọ́n sì dìde, wọ́n sì ṣáájú Saulu lọ sí Sifi, ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ wà ní aginjù Maoni, ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ níhà gúúsù ti Jeṣimoni.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
Saulu àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì lọ ń wá a. Wọ́n sì sọ fún Dafidi: ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí ibi òkúta kan, ó sì jókòó ní aginjù ti Maoni. Saulu sì gbọ́, ó sì lépa Dafidi ní aginjù Maoni.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
Saulu sì ń rin apá kan òkè kan, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ ní apá kejì òkè náà. Dafidi sì yára láti sá kúrò níwájú Saulu; nítorí pé Saulu àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ ti rọ̀gbà yí Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ ká láti mú wọn.
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."
Ṣùgbọ́n oníṣẹ́ kan sì tọ Saulu wá ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ yára kí o sì wá, nítorí tí àwọn Filistini ti gbé ogun ti ilẹ̀ wa.”
28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Rock of Divisions.
Saulu sì padà kúrò ní lílépa Dafidi, ó sì lọ pàdé àwọn Filistini nítorí náà ni wọ́n sì ṣe ń pe ibẹ̀ náà ní Selahamalekoti (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí “Òkúta Ìpinyà”).
29 David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
Dafidi sì gòkè láti ibẹ̀ lọ, ó sì jókòó níbi tí ó sá pamọ́ sí ní En-Gedi.
