1 Samuel 22
1 And he went David from there and he escaped to [the] cave of Adullam and they heard brothers his and all [the] household of father his and they went down to him there towards.
Daudi akaondoka Gathi na kukimbilia kwenye pango la Adulamu. Ndugu zake na watu wa nyumba ya baba yake waliposikia habari hiyo, wakamwendea huko.
2 And they gathered together to him every man of distress and every man whom [belonged] to him a creditor and every man bitter of soul and he became over them a commander and they were with him about four hundred man.
Wale wote waliokuwa katika dhiki au waliokuwa na madeni au wale ambao hawakuridhika wakamkusanyikia Daudi, naye akawa kiongozi wao. Watu wapatao 400 walikuwa pamoja naye.
3 And he went David from there Mizpah of Moab and he said - to [the] king of Moab let him go out please father my and mother my with you until that I will know what? will he do for me God.
Kutoka huko Daudi akaenda Mispa huko Moabu na kumwambia mfalme wa Moabu, “Naomba uwaruhusu baba yangu na mama yangu waje kukaa nawe mpaka nijue nini Mungu atakachonifanyia.”
4 And he led them with [the] presence of [the] king of Moab and they remained with him all [the] days of [the] being of David in the stronghold.
Hivyo akawaacha wazazi wake wakae na mfalme wa Moabu, nao wakakaa naye muda wote ambao Daudi alikuwa ngomeni.
5 And he said Gad the prophet to David not you must remain in the stronghold go and you will go for yourself [the] land of Judah and he went David and he came [the] forest of Hereth.
Ndipo nabii Gadi akamwambia Daudi, “Usikae ngomeni. Nenda katika nchi ya Yuda.” Hivyo Daudi akaondoka na kwenda katika msitu wa Herethi.
6 And he heard Saul that he was known David and [the] men who [were] with him and Saul [was] sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at the high place and spear his [was] in hand his and all servants his [were] standing with him.
Basi Sauli akasikia kwamba Daudi na watu wake wameonekana. Sauli akiwa na mkuki mkononi, alikuwa ameketi chini ya mti wa mkwaju kwenye kilima huko Gibea, maafisa wake wote wakiwa wamesimama kumzunguka.
7 And he said Saul to servants his who were standing with him listen please O Ben-jaminites also? to all of you will he give [the] son of Jesse fields and vineyards all of you will he appoint commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
Sauli akawaambia, “Sikilizeni enyi watu wa Benyamini! Je, mwana wa Yese atawapa ninyi nyote mashamba na mashamba ya mizabibu? Je, atawafanya ninyi nyote majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia?
8 For you have conspired all of you on me and there not [is one who] opens ear my when made son my with [the] son of Jesse and not [was] feeling pain any of you on me and opening ear my that he has raised up son my servant my on me to an ambusher as the day this.
Je, ndiyo sababu ninyi mkapanga hila mbaya dhidi yangu? Hakuna hata mmoja wenu ambaye ameniambia ni lini mwanangu alifanya agano na mwana wa Yese. Hapana hata mmoja wenu anayejishughulisha nami wala anayeniambia kwamba mwanangu amechochea mtumishi wangu kunivizia, kama afanyavyo leo.”
9 And he answered Doeg the Edomite and he [was] standing with [the] servants of Saul and he said I saw [the] son of Jesse coming Nob towards to Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub.
Lakini Doegi Mwedomu, ambaye alikuwa akisimama na maafisa wa Sauli, akasema, “Nilimwona mwana wa Yese akija kwa Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubu huko Nobu.
10 And he enquired for him by Yahweh and food he gave to him and [the] sword of Goliath the Philistine he gave to him.
Ahimeleki akamuuliza Bwana kwa ajili yake; pia akampa vyakula na ule upanga wa Goliathi Mfilisti.”
11 And he sent the king to summon Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub the priest and all [the] house of father his the priests who [were] at Nob and they came all of them to the king.
Kisha mfalme akatuma watu wamwite kuhani Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubu, na jamaa yote ya baba yake, waliokuwa makuhani huko Nobu, nao wote wakaja kwa mfalme.
12 And he said Saul listen please O son of Ahitub and he said here [am] I O lord my.
Sauli akasema, “Sikiliza sasa, mwana wa Ahitubu.” Akajibu, “Naam, bwana wangu.”
13 And he said (to him *Q(k)*) Saul why? have you conspired on me you and [the] son of Jesse when giving you to him bread and a sword and [you] enquired for him by God to rise up against me to an ambusher as the day this.
Sauli akamwambia, “Kwa nini umepanga shauri baya dhidi yangu, wewe na mwana wa Yese, ukampa vyakula na upanga, tena hukumuuliza Mungu kwa ajili yake, na kwa sababu hiyo ameasi dhidi yangu na kunivizia, kama afanyavyo leo?”
14 And he answered Ahimelech the king and he said and who? among all servants your [is] like David faithful and [the] son-in-law of the king and [one who] turns aside to bodyguard your and honored in household your.
Ahimeleki akamjibu mfalme, “Ni nani miongoni mwa watumishi wako wote aliye mwaminifu kama Daudi, mkwewe mfalme, kiongozi wa walinzi wako na anayeheshimika sana katika watu wa nyumbani mwako?
15 This day did I begin? (to enquire *Q(k)*) for him by God far be it to me may not he put the king against servant his anything against all [the] house of father my for not he knew servant your in all this anything small or great.
Je, siku hiyo ilikuwa ndiyo ya kwanza kumwomba Mungu kwa ajili yake? La hasha! Mfalme na usiwashutumu watumishi wako wala yeyote wa jamaa ya baba yake, kwa kuwa mtumishi wako hafahamu lolote kabisa kuhusu jambo hili lote.”
16 And he said the king certainly you will die O Ahimelech you and all [the] house of father your.
Lakini mfalme akasema, “Ahimeleki, hakika utakufa, wewe na jamaa yote ya baba yako.”
17 And he said the king to the runners who were standing with him turn round and put to death - [the] priests of Yahweh for also hand their [is] with David and for they knew that [was] fleeing he and not they uncovered (ear my *Q(K)*) and not they were willing [the] servants of the king to stretch out hand their to fall on [the] priests of Yahweh.
Ndipo mfalme akawaamuru walinzi wake waliokuwa kando yake: “Geukeni na kuwaua makuhani wa Bwana, kwa sababu nao pia wamejiunga na Daudi. Walijua kuwa alikuwa anakimbia, wala hawakuniambia.” Lakini maafisa wa mfalme hawakuwa radhi kuinua mkono kuwaua makuhani wa Bwana.
18 And he said the king (to Doeg *Q(k)*) turn round you and fall on the priests and he turned round (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite and he fell he on the priests and he killed - on the day that eighty and five man [who] carried an ephod of linen.
Kisha mfalme akamwagiza Doegi, “Wewe geuka ukawaue makuhani.” Hivyo basi Doegi Mwedomu, akageuka na kuwaua. Siku ile aliwaua watu themanini na watano wavaao visibau vya kitani.
19 And Nob [the] city of the priests he struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword from man and unto woman from child and unto suckling-child and ox[en] and donkey[s] and sheep to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Pia akaupiga Nobu kwa upanga, mji wa makuhani, wakiwemo wanaume na wanawake, watoto wadogo na wale wanyonyao, ngʼombe wake, punda na kondoo.
20 And he escaped a son one of Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub and name his [was] Abiathar and he fled after David.
Lakini Abiathari, mwana wa Ahimeleki, mwana wa Ahitubu, akatoroka, akakimbia na kujiunga na Daudi.
21 And he told Abiathar to David that he had killed Saul [the] priests of Yahweh.
Akamwambia Daudi kuwa Sauli amewaua makuhani wa Bwana.
22 And he said David to Abiathar I knew on the day that that [was] there (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite that certainly he will tell to Saul I I have turned in every life of [the] house of father your.
Kisha Daudi akamwambia Abiathari: “Siku ile, wakati Doegi Mwedomu alipokuwa pale, nilijua atahakikisha amemwambia Sauli. Mimi ninawajibika kwa vifo vya jamaa ya baba yako yote.
23 Remain! with me may not you be afraid for [the one] who he seeks life my he seeks life your for [are] in good care you with me.
Kaa pamoja nami; usiogope. Mtu anayeutafuta uhai wako anautafuta uhai wangu pia. Ukiwa pamoja nami utakuwa salama.”
