1 Samuel 20
1 And he fled David (from Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah and he went and he said - before Jonathan what? have I done what? [is] iniquity my and what? [is] sin my before father your that [is] seeking life my.
Kisha Daudi akakimbia kutoka Nayothi huko Rama akamwendea Yonathani na kumuuliza, “Kwani nimefanya nini? Kosa langu ni nini? Nimemkosea baba yako kwa jinsi gani, hata kwamba anajaribu kuuondoa uhai wangu?”
2 And he said to him far be it not you will die here! (not he does *Q(K)*) father my anything great or anything small and not he uncovers ear my and why? will he hide father my from me the thing this there not [is] this.
Yonathani akajibu, “La hasha! Hutakufa! Tazama, baba yangu hafanyi kitu chochote, kikubwa au kidogo, bila kuniambia mimi. Kwa nini anifiche hili? Sivyo ilivyo!”
3 And he swore an oath again David and he said certainly he knows father your that I have found favor in view your and he has said may not he know this Jonathan lest he should be grieved and but [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your for about a step between me and between death.
Lakini Daudi akaapa na kusema, “Baba yako anajua kabisa kwamba nimepata kibali mbele yako, naye amesema moyoni mwake, ‘Yonathani sharti asilijue hili, la sivyo atahuzunika.’ Lakini kweli kama Bwana aishivyo na kama uishivyo, kuna hatua moja tu kati yangu na mauti.”
4 And he said Jonathan to David whatever it will say self your so I may do for you.
Yonathani akamwambia Daudi, “Chochote unachotaka nifanye, nitakufanyia.”
5 And he said David to Jonathan here! a new moon [will be] tomorrow and I certainly I will sit with the king to eat and you will let go me and I will hide myself in the field until the evening third.
Basi Daudi akamwambia, “Angalia, kesho ni sikukuu ya Mwezi Mwandamo, nami inanipasa kula chakula pamoja na mfalme; lakini niache niende kujificha shambani mpaka kesho kutwa.
6 Certainly [if] he will miss me father your and you will say certainly he asked for himself from me David to run Beth-lehem city his for [the] sacrifice of the days [is] there for all the clan.
Kama baba yako akiona ya kuwa sipo, mwambie, ‘Daudi aliniomba sana ruhusa kuwahi Bethlehemu, mji wake wa nyumbani, kwa sababu dhabihu ya mwaka inafanywa huko kwa ajili ya ukoo wake wote.’
7 If thus he will say good safety [belongs] to servant your and if certainly it will burn to him know that it has been determined harm from with him.
Kama akisema, ‘Ni vyema sana,’ basi mtumishi wako yu salama. Lakini kama akikasirika, unaweza kuwa na hakika kwamba anakusudia kunidhuru.
8 And you will do covenant loyalty towards servant your for in [the] covenant of Yahweh you have brought servant your with you and if there in me [is] iniquity put to death me you and to father your why? this will you bring me.
Lakini kwa habari yako wewe, mtende wema mtumishi wako, kwa sababu mmeingia kwenye agano pamoja naye mbele za Bwana. Kama nina hatia, basi niue wewe mwenyewe! Kwa nini unikabidhi kwa baba yako?”
9 And he said Jonathan far be it to you that - if ever I will know that it has been determined harm from with father my to come on you and not it will I tell to you.
Yonathani akasema, “La hasha! Kama ningekuwa na kidokezo kidogo kwamba baba yangu amekusudia kukudhuru wewe, je, nisingekuambia?”
10 And he said David to Jonathan who? will he tell to me or what? will he answer you father your hard.
Daudi akamuuliza, “Je, nani atakayeniambia kama baba yako atakujibu kwa ukali?”
11 And he said Jonathan to David come! so we may go out the field and they went out [the] two of them the field.
Yonathani akamwambia, “Njoo, twende shambani.” Basi wakaenda huko pamoja.
12 And he said Jonathan to David Yahweh [the] God of Israel that I will sound out father my about this time - tomorrow the third and there! good [is] to David and not? then will I send to you and I will uncover ear your.
Kisha Yonathani akamwambia Daudi, “Ninakuahidi kwa jina la Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, hakika nitamchunguza baba yangu wakati kama huu kesho kutwa! Kama ameweka utaratibu wa kufaa kukuhusu wewe, je, sitakutumia ujumbe na kukufahamisha?
13 Thus may he do Yahweh to Jonathan and thus may he add if it will make good to father my harm on you and I will uncover ear your and I will send away you and you will go to peace and may he be Yahweh with you just as he has been with father my.
Lakini ikiwa baba yangu amenuia kukudhuru, Bwana na anishughulikie kwa ukali, iwapo sitakufahamisha na kukuaga uende salama. Bwana na awe pamoja nawe kama alivyokuwa pamoja na baba yangu.
14 And not if still I [am] alive and not you will do with me [the] covenant loyalty of Yahweh and not I will die.
Lakini nitendee wema usiokoma kama ule wa Bwana siku zote za maisha yangu, ili nisije nikauawa,
15 And not you must cut off covenant loyalty your from with house my until perpetuity and not when cuts off Yahweh [the] enemies of David everyone from on [the] surface of the earth.
wala usiuondoe wema wako kwa jamaa yangu, hata kama ni wakati ule Bwana atakapokuwa amekatilia mbali kila adui wa Daudi kutoka kwenye uso wa dunia.”
16 And he made Jonathan with [the] house of David and he will require Yahweh from [the] hand of [the] enemies of David.
Basi Yonathani akafanya agano na nyumba ya Daudi, akisema: “Bwana na awaangamize adui za Daudi.”
17 And he repeated Jonathan to make swear an oath David in love his him for [the] love of own self his he loved him.
Naye Yonathani akamtaka Daudi athibitishe tena kiapo chake cha kumpenda, kwa sababu Yonathani alimpenda Daudi kama nafsi yake mwenyewe.
18 And he said to him Jonathan [will be] tomorrow a new moon and you will be missed if it will be empty seat your.
Kisha Yonathani akamwambia Daudi, “Kesho ni sikukuu ya Mwezi Mwandamo. Itajulikana kwamba haupo kwa kuwa kiti chako kitakuwa hakina mtu.
19 And you will do three times you will come down exceedingly and you will come to the place where you hid yourself there on [the] day of the deed and you will stay beside the stone Ezel.
Kesho kutwa, inapokaribia jioni, nenda mahali pale ulipojificha wakati tatizo hili lilipoanza na usubiri karibu na jiwe la Ezeli.
20 And I [the] three the arrows [its] side I will shoot to send [them] for myself to a target.
Nitapiga mishale mitatu kando yake, kama kwamba nilikwenda kulenga shabaha.
21 And there! I will send the lad go find the arrows certainly [if] I will say to the lad there! the arrows - [are] from you and hither fetch it - and come! for safety [belongs] to you and there not [is] anything [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
Kisha nitamtuma mvulana na kumwambia, ‘Nenda ukaitafute mishale.’ Kama nikimwambia, ‘Tazama mishale iko upande huu wako! Uilete hapa,’ basi uje, kwa sababu hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, wewe ni salama, hakuna hatari.
22 And if thus I will say to the young man there! the arrows [are] from you and beyond go for he has sent away you Yahweh.
Lakini kama nikimwambia huyo mvulana, ‘Angalia, mishale iko mbele yako,’ basi inakupasa uondoke, kwa sababu Bwana amekuruhusu uende zako.
23 And the matter which we have spoken I and you here! Yahweh [will be] between me and between you until perpetuity.
Kuhusu yale tuliyozungumza wewe na mimi: kumbuka, Bwana ndiye shahidi kati yako wewe na mimi milele.”
24 And he hid himself David in the field and it was the new moon and he sat down the king (to *Q(K)*) the food to eat.
Basi Daudi akajificha shambani, na sikukuu ya Mwezi Mwandamo ilipowadia, mfalme akaketi ili ale.
25 And he sat down the king on seat his as time - on time to [the] seat of the wall and he arose Jonathan and he sat down Abner from [the] side of Saul and it was empty [the] place of David.
Akaketi mahali pake pa kawaida karibu na ukuta, kuelekeana na Yonathani, naye Abneri akaketi karibu na Mfalme Sauli, lakini kiti cha Daudi kilikuwa wazi.
26 And not he spoke Saul anything on the day that for he said [is] an accident it not [is] clean he for not clean.
Sauli hakusema chochote siku ile kwa kuwa alifikiri, “Kuna kitu cha lazima kimetokea kwa Daudi ambacho kimemfanya najisi asihudhurie karamuni, hakika yeye yu najisi.”
27 And it was from [the] next day of the new moon second and it was empty [the] place of David. And he said Saul to Jonathan son his why? not has he come [the] son of Jesse both yesterday as well as this day to the food.
Lakini siku iliyofuata, siku ya pili ya mwezi, kiti cha Daudi kilikuwa wazi tena. Kisha Sauli akamwambia mwanawe Yonathani, “Kwa nini mwana wa Yese hajaja chakulani jana wala leo?”
28 And he answered Jonathan Saul certainly he asked for himself David from with me to Beth-lehem.
Yonathani akamjibu, “Daudi alinisihi sana nimpe ruhusa aende Bethlehemu.
29 And he said let go me please for a sacrifice of [the] clan [belongs] to us in the city and he he has commanded to me brother my and therefore if I have found favor in view your let me slip away please so I may see brothers my there-fore not he has come to [the] table of the king.
Alisema, ‘Niruhusu niende, kwa sababu jamaa yetu wana dhabihu mjini, na ndugu yangu ameniagiza niwepo huko. Kama nimepata kibali mbele yako, niruhusu niende kuona ndugu zangu.’ Hii ndiyo sababu hakuja mezani pa mfalme.”
30 And it burned [the] anger of Saul on Jonathan and he said to him O son of perverse [woman] of rebelliousness ¿ not do I know that [are] choosing you [the] son of Jesse to own shame your and to [the] shame of [the] nakedness of mother your.
Hasira ya Sauli ikawaka dhidi ya Yonathani na kumwambia, “Wewe mwana wa mwanamke mkaidi na mwasi! Je, sijui kuwa umekuwa upande wa mwana wa Yese kwa aibu yako mwenyewe na kwa aibu ya mama yako aliyekuzaa?
31 For all the days which [the] son of Jesse he lives on the earth not you will be established you and kingdom your and therefore send and fetch him to me for [is] a son of death he.
Maadamu mwana wa Yese angali anaishi katika dunia hii wewe wala ufalme wako hautasimama. Sasa tuma aitwe umlete kwangu, kwa kuwa ni lazima afe!”
32 And he answered Jonathan Saul father his and he said to him why? will he be put to death what? has he done.
Yonathani akamuuliza baba yake, “Kwa nini auawe? Kwani amefanya nini?”
33 And he threw Saul the spear on him to strike him and he knew Jonathan that it had been determined it from with father his to kill David.
Lakini Sauli akamtupia Yonathani mkuki wake kwa nguvu ili amuue. Hapo ndipo Yonathani alipotambua kwamba baba yake alikusudia kumuua Daudi.
34 And he arose Jonathan from with the table in [the] heat of anger and not he ate on [the] day of the new moon second food for he was grieved concerning David for he had put to shame him father his.
Yonathani akainuka kutoka mezani kwa hasira kali. Siku ile ya pili ya mwezi hakula chakula, kwa kuwa alikuwa amehuzunishwa na vitendo vya aibu ambavyo baba yake alikuwa anamtendea Daudi.
35 And it was in the morning and he went out Jonathan the field to [the] appointed time of David and a lad small [was] with him.
Kesho yake asubuhi Yonathani alikwenda shambani kukutana na Daudi. Alikuwa amefuatana na mvulana mdogo,
36 And he said to lad his run find please the arrows which I [am] about to shoot the lad he ran and he he shot the arrow to make [it] pass beyond him.
naye Yonathani akamwambia yule mvulana, “Kimbia ukatafute mishale nitakayorusha.” Mvulana alipokuwa akikimbia, akarusha mishale mbele yake.
37 And he came the lad to [the] place of the arrow which he had shot Jonathan and he called out Jonathan after the lad and he said ¿ not [is] the arrow from you and beyond.
Yule mvulana alipofika mahali pale ambapo mshale wa Yonathani ulipokuwa umeanguka, Yonathani akamwita, “Je, mshale hauko mbele yako?”
38 And he called out Jonathan after the lad quickly make haste! may not you delay and he picked up [the] lad of Jonathan (the arrows *Q(K)*) and he came to master his.
Yonathani akampigia kelele, “Harakisha, nenda haraka! Usisimame!” Mvulana akaokota mshale na kurudi kwa bwana wake.
39 And the lad not he knew anything only Jonathan and David they knew the matter.
(Mvulana hakujua chochote juu ya hayo yote; Yonathani na Daudi tu ndio waliojua.)
40 And he gave Jonathan weapons his to the lad who [belonged] to him and he said to him go take [them] the city.
Basi Yonathani akampa yule mvulana silaha zake na kumwambia, “Nenda, zirudishe mjini.”
41 The lad he went and David he arose from beside the south and he fell to face his [the] ground towards and he bowed down three times and they kissed - each friend his and they wept for each friend his until David he did great things.
Baada ya mvulana kwenda, Daudi akainuka kutoka upande wa kusini wa lile jiwe, naye akasujudu uso wake mpaka nchi mara tatu mbele ya Yonathani. Kisha kila mmoja akambusu mwenzake, wakalia pamoja. Lakini Daudi akalia zaidi.
42 And he said Jonathan to David go to peace that we have sworn an oath [the] two of us we by [the] name of Yahweh saying Yahweh he will be - between me and between you and between offspring my and between offspring your until perpetuity. And he arose and he went and Jonathan he went the city.
Yonathani akamwambia Daudi, “Nenda kwa amani, kwa kuwa tumeapiana kiapo cha urafiki kati yetu kwa jina la Bwana, tukisema, ‘Bwana ndiye shahidi kati yako na mimi, na kati ya wazao wako na wazao wangu milele.’” Kisha Daudi akaondoka, naye Yonathani akarudi mjini.
