1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Erga Daawit Saaʼol wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee, lubbuun Yoonaataan lubbuu Daawititti maxxante; Yoonaataanis akkuma lubbuu ofii isaatti isa jaallate.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Saaʼolis gaafa sanaa jalqabee Daawitin ofitti fudhate; akka inni gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼus hin eeyyamneef.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Yoonaataan sababii akka mataa isaatti isa jaallateef Daawit wajjin kakuu seene.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Yoonaataanis qoloo uffatee ture of irraa baasee kittaa isaa, goraadee isaa, iddaa isaatii fi sabbata isaa dabalee Daawitiif kenne.
5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Daawit iddoo Saaʼol itti isa erge hunda dhaqee ni milkaaʼa ture. Saaʼolis namoota waraanaa irratti isa sadarkaa ol aanaa kenneef. Wanni kunis saba hundaa fi tajaajiltoota Saaʼol hunda gammachiise.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Dubartoonnis erga Daawit Filisxeemicha ajjeesee booddee yommuu namoonni gara mana ofii isaaniitti deebiʼanitti magaalaawwan Israaʼel hunda keessaa masiinqoo fi dibbee qabatanii faarfannaa gammachuutiin faarfachaa fi shuubbisaa Saaʼol mooticha simachuuf baʼan.
7 And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Dubartoonni sunis wal jalaa qabanii: “Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatamaa ajjeese” jedhanii faarfatan.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and [what] can he have more but the kingdom?
Saaʼol akka malee aare; jechi kunis isa hin gammachiifne. Innis, “Isaan Daawitiif kuma kumaatama kennan; anaaf garuu kumaatama qofa kennan. Mootummaa fudhachuu malee maaltu isa hafe?” jedhee yaade.
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Gaafasii jalqabee Saaʼol ija hinaaffaatiin Daawitin ilaala ture.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand.
Guyyaa itti aanutti hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa humnaan Saaʼolitti dhufe. Innis mana isaa keessatti raajii dubbachaa ture; Daawit immoo akkuma duraan godhu sana baganaa taphachaa ture. Saaʼolis eeboo harkatti qabatee ture;
11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
innis, “Ani Daawitin keenyanittan hodha” jedhee waan yaadeef eeboo itti darbate. Daawit garuu yeroo lama isa duraa miliqe.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Saaʼolis Daawitin sodaate; Waaqayyo Saaʼolin dhiisee Daawit wajjin tureetii.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitin fuula ofii isaa duraa fageessee ajajaa kumaa isa godhe; Daawitis loltoota hoogganee ni baʼa; ni galas ture.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD [was] with him.
Sababii Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef inni waan hojjetu hundumaan ni milkaaʼa ture.
15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
Saaʼolis yeroo akka inni milkaaʼe argetti isa ni sodaate.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaan hundi garuu Daawitin ni jaallatan; inni fuula isaanii dura ni baʼa; ni galas tureetii.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Meerab intalli koo hangafti kunoo ti; ati jagnummaan lola Waaqayyoo loli malee ani ishee sitti nan heerumsiisa” jedhe. Saaʼol, “Harki Filisxeemotaa isa irratti haa kaʼu malee ani harka koo isa irratti hin kaasu” jedhee yaadaa tureetii.
18 And David said to Saul, Who [am] I? and what [is] my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
Daawit garuu Saaʼoliin, “Soddaa mootii taʼuuf ani eenyu? Maatiin koo yookaan gosti abbaa koo Israaʼel keessatti maali?” jedhe.
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
Kanaafuu yommuu yeroon itti Meerab intalli Saaʼol Daawititti heerumtu dhiʼaatetti isheen Adriiʼeel nama biyya Mehoolaatitti heerumte.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Miikaal intalli Saaʼolis Daawitin jaallattee turte; Saaʼolis yeroo waaʼee kanaa dhagaʼetti ni gammade.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law, in [the one of] the two.
Innis, “Akka isheen kiyyoo isatti taatuu fi akka harki Filisxeemotaa isa argatuuf ani ishee isatti nan heerumsiisa” jedhee yaade. Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Ati amma soddaa koo taʼuuf carraa lammaffaa qabda” jedhe.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
Ergasiis Saaʼol, “‘Kunoo mootiin sitti gammada; tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus si jaallatu; ati amma soddaa isaa taʼi’ jedhaatii dhoksaadhaan Daawititti himaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you [a] light [thing] to be a king's son-in-law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
Isaanis irra deebiʼanii waan kana Daawititti himan; Daawit garuu, “Soddaa mootii taʼuun waanuma salphaa seetanii? Ani hiyyeessa; nama hamma kanatti beekamus miti” jedhe.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol waan Daawit jedhe isatti himan;
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dower, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saaʼol immoo, “‘Mootichi diinota isaa haaloo baʼuuf misaa Filisxeemotaa dhibba tokko malee gabbara biraa tokko illee sirraa hin barbaadu’ jedhaatii Daawititti himaa” jedhe. Karoorri Saaʼol akka Daawit harka Filisxeemotaatti kufu ture.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law: and the days had not expired.
Yommuu tajaajiltoonni sun waan kana Daawititti himanitti, Daawit soddaa mootii taʼuuf ni gammade. Kanaafuu utuu yeroon isaa hin gaʼin,
27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
Daawitii fi namoonni isaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota dhibba lama ajjeesan. Daawitis soddaa mootii taʼuuf jedhee misaa Filisxeemota ajjeefamanii hunda fidee mootichatti kenne. Kana irratti Saaʼol intala isaa Miikaalin isatti heerumsiise.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David, and [that] Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
Saaʼol yommuu akka Waaqayyo Daawit wajjin jiruu fi akka Miikaal isa jaallate hubatetti,
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
ammas akka malee isa sodaate; bara jireenya isaa kan hafe hundas diina isaa taʼee jiraate.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass after they went forth, [that] David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.
Ajajjoonni waraana Filisxeemotaas yeroo hedduu waraanaaf ni baʼu turan; yeroo isaan waraanaaf baʼan hundas Daawit qondaaltota Saaʼol kaan caalaa moʼannaa argata ture; maqaan isaas baayʼee beekame.
