1 Samuel 23
1 David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors."
Daawit yommuu, “Kunoo, Filisxeemonni Qeyiilaatti waraana bananii oobdii saamaa jiru” jedhanii itti himanitti,
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."
“Ani dhaqee Filisxeemota kanneen waraanuu?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Dhaqii Filisxeemota waraaniitii Qeyiilaa baraar” jedhee deebiseef.
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?"
Namoonni Daawit garuu, “Nu as Yihuudaa keessatti iyyuu sodaachaa jirra. Yoo loltoota Filisxeemotaa waraanuuf Qeyiilaa dhaqne immoo hammam haa sodaannu!” jedhaniin.
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."
Daawit ammas deebiʼee Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyos, “Qeyiilaatti gad buʼi; ani Filisxeemota dabarsee harka keetti nan kennaatii” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Qeyiilaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota waraananii horii isaanii boojiʼan. Daawitis miidhaa guddaa Filisxeemotatti fidee akkasiin saba Qeyiilaa baraare.
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.
Abiyaataar ilmi Ahiimelek sunis yeroo gara Qeyiilaa gara Daawititti baqatetti dirata fudhatee dhufe.
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."
Akka Daawit Qeyiilaa dhaqe Saaʼolitti himan; innis, “Waan Daawit magaalaa karraa fi danqaraa qabdu keessa seenuudhaan ofitti cufeef Waaqni isa dabarsee natti kenneera” jedhe.
8 Then Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
Saaʼolis akka isaan Qeyiilaatti gad buʼanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa marsaniif jedhee loltoota isaa hunda duulaaf walitti waammate.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
Daawitis yeroo akka Saaʼol hammina isatti yaade beeketti Abiyaataar lubichaan, “Dirata sana as fidi” jedhe.
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.
Ergasiis Daawit akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel akka Saaʼol gara Qeyiilaa dhufee sababii kootiif jedhee magaalattii barbadeessuuf karoorfate garbichi kee dhugumaan dhagaʼeera.
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."
Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa isatti dabarsanii na kennuu? Akkuma garbichi kee dhagaʼe sana Saaʼol ni dhufaa? Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel mee garbicha keetti himi.” Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee inni ni dhufa” jedhe.
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."
Daawit ammas, “Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa anaa fi namoota koo dabarsanii Saaʼolitti ni kennuu?” jedhee gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee isin kennu” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa kanneen gara dhibba jaʼa taʼan Qeyiilaadhaa kaʼanii gara dhaquu dandaʼan hunda dhaqan. Saaʼolis yommuu akka Daawit Qeyiilaa keessaa baqate dhagaʼetti achi hin dhaqne.
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.
Daawitis daʼannoowwan gammoojjii keessaatii fi gaarran Gammoojjii Ziif keessa ture. Saaʼolis guyyuma guyyaan isa barbaadaa ture; Waaqni garuu dabarsee harka isaatti Daawitin hin kennine.
15 Now David was afraid that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
Daawit utuu Gammoojjii Ziif keessa iddoo Hooreshaa jedhamu tokko jiruu akka Saaʼol isa ajjeesuuf dhufe beeke.
16 Jonathan, Saul's son, set out and came to David at Horesh and encouraged him in the LORD.
Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼolis Daawit bira Hooreshaa dhaqe; maqaa Waaqaatiinis isa jajjabeesse.
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."
Innis, “Hin sodaatin; abbaan koo Saaʼol harkumaanuu si hin tuqu. Ati mootii Israaʼel taata; ani immoo itti aanaa kee nan taʼa. Abbaan koo Saaʼol iyyuu waan kana ni beeka” jedheen.
18 They both made a covenant before the LORD: and David stayed at Horesh, and Jonathan went to his house.
Isaan lamaanuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu walii galan. Ergasii Yoonaataan mana ofii isaatti gale; Daawit immoo Hooreshaatti hafe.
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?
Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa gara Saaʼol dhaqanii akkana jedhan; “Daawit kibba Yasemooniin gaara Hakiilaa irra daʼannoowwan Hooreshaa keessa dhokatee gidduu keenya jira mitii?
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."
Yaa mootii, ati gaafa dhufuu feete kottu; nu isa dabarsinee sitti ni kennina.”
21 Saul said, "You are blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me.
Saaʼolis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Waan isin naa yaaddaniif Waaqayyo isin haa eebbisu.
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.
Dhaqaatii ittuma fufaa qophaaʼaa. Iddoo Daawit yeroo baayʼee dhaquu fi nama achitti isa argu illee hubadhaa. Akka inni nama daba hojjetu taʼe natti himaniiru.
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."
Iddoo inni itti dhokatu hundumaa barbaadaatii oduu mirkanaaʼaa fidaa kottaa. Ergasii ani isin wajjin nan deema; yoo inni naannoo sana jiraate ani kumaatama Yihuudaa hunda keessaa barbaadee isa nan arga.”
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.
Kanaafuu isaan kaʼanii Saaʼol dursanii Ziif dhaqan. Daawitii fi namoonni isaa gama kibba Yasemooniin Gammoojjii Maaʼoon kan Arabbaatti argamtu keessa turan.
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.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa Daawitin barbaaduu jalqaban; Daawitis yommuu waan kana itti himanitti gara kattaatti gad buʼee Gammoojjii Maaʼoon keessa ture. Saaʼolis yeroo waan kana dhagaʼetti Daawitin ariʼuuf Gammoojjii Maaʼoon seene.
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.
Saaʼol gaara gubbaa karaa tokkoon deemaa ture; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo Saaʼol duraa baqachuuf jedhanii ariifachaa tulluu sana irra karaa kaaniin deeman. Yeroo Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa itti dhiʼaatanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa qabachuu gaʼanitti,
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."
ergamaan tokko gara Saaʼol dhufee, “Dafiitii kottu! Filisxeemonni biyyattii weeraranii jiruutii” jedhe.
28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Rock of Divisions.
Saaʼolis Daawitin ariʼuu dhiisee Filisxeemotatti gara gale. Kanaafuu iddoon sun, “Kattaa gargar baʼumsaa” jedhame.
29 David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
Daawitis achii deemee daʼannoowwan Een Gaadii keessa jiraate.
