1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed from there and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
Devid hapụrụ Gat gbaba nʼọgba nkume Adulam. Mgbe ụmụnne ya ndị ikom na ndị ezinaụlọ nna ya nụrụ nke a, ha jekwuru ya nʼebe ahụ.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.
Ndị ọzọ malitekwara ịbịakwute ya nʼebe ahụ, ndị niile nọ na mkpagbu dị iche iche, ndị ji ụgwọ, na ndị ọchịchị Sọl na-adịghị mma. Ha niile jekwuru ya. Ọ dịghị anya Devid ghọọrọ onyendu ha. Ihe ruru narị mmadụ anọ so ya.
3 David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out to you, until I know what God will do for me.”
Devid sitere nʼebe ahụ jee Mizpa dị na Moab rịọọ eze obodo ahụ sị, “Biko, ị ga-ekwe ka nna m na nne m pụta bịa biri nʼetiti unu tutu ruo mgbe m matara ihe Chineke na-aga imere m?”
4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
Ya mere, ọ hapụrụ ha ka ha nọdụ na nke eze Moab. Ha na ya nọgidere oge niile Devid bi nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike.
5 The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
Ma Gad onye amụma sịrị Devid, “Anọgidela nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike, kama laghachi nʼala Juda.” Ya mere, Devid biliri gaa nʼoke ọhịa Heret.
6 Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Ugbu a Sọl nụrụ na achọtala ebe Devid na ndị ikom na-eso ya nọ. Sọl, onye ji ùbe ya nʼaka nọdụrụ ala nʼokpuru osisi tamarisk nke dị nʼugwu dị na Gibea. Ndị ozi ya guzokwa gburugburu ya.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
Sọl gwara ha sị, “Geenụ ntị unu ndị ikom Benjamin! Ọ bụ unu niile ka nwa Jesi ga-enye ala ubi na ubi vaịnị? Ọ bụ unu niile ka ọ ga-eme ndị ọchịagha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ọchịagha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha?
8 Is that why all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
Ọ bụ ya mere unu ji dịnyere ya imegide m? Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu gwara m na nwa m na nwa Jesi gbara ndụ. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ihe gbasara m na-emetụ nʼobi ịgwa m na nwa m nwoke akpaliela ohu m imegide m, ichebiri m nʼụzọ, dịka o mere nʼụbọchị taa.”
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Ma Doeg onye Edọm, onye so ndị ozi Sọl guzo nʼebe ahụ kwuru sị, “Ahụrụ m mgbe nwa Jesi bịakwutere Ahimelek, nwa Ahitub na Nob.
10 He enquired of the LORD for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ahimelek jụtaara ya ase site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ma nyekwa ya ihe oriri na mma agha Golaịat onye Filistia.”
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Sọl zipụrụ ozi nye Ahimelek nwa Ahitub na ndị ezinaụlọ nna ya niile, ndị bụ ndị nchụaja na Nob. Ha niile bịara guzo nʼihu eze.
12 Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
Sọl gwara ha okwu sị, “Gee ntị, gị nwa Ahitub.” Ahimelek zara sị, “Ana m ege ntị, onyenwe m.”
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
Sọl jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere gị na nwa Jesi ji gbaa izu imegide m? Gịnị mere i ji nye ya nri na mma agha, jụkwaara ya ase site nʼaka Chineke? Gịnị mere i ji na-agba ya ume ka o nupu isi nʼebe m nọ, na ka ọ bịakwa nʼebe a imegide m taa?”
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who amongst all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honoured in your house?
Ahimelek zara eze sị, “Onye nʼetiti ndị ohu gị niile bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi dịka Devid, ọgọ eze, na onyeisi ndị agha na-eche gị nche; ọ bụkwa onye a na-enye nsọpụrụ dị ukwuu nʼezinaụlọ gị?
15 Have I today begun to enquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”
Nke a ọ bụ ụbọchị mbụ m na-ajụrụ ya ase nʼaka Chineke? Ọ bụghị! Ka eze ghara ibo ohu ya na ezinaụlọ nna m ebubo, nʼihi na ohu gị amaghị ihe ọbụla banyere okwu a niile.”
16 The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.”
Ma eze kwuru sị, “Ị ga-anwụ. Ahimelek gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị niile!”
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
O nyere ndị na-eso ya iwu sị ha, “Gbuonụ ndị nchụaja ndị a, nʼihi na ha na Devid agbaala izuzu; ha makwa na o si nʼihu m na-agbapụ, ma ha agwaghị m!” Ma ndị agha eze jụrụ isetipụ aka ha megide ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị.
18 The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
Mgbe ahụ eze nyere Doeg iwu sị ya, “Gị onwe gị, chigharịa gbuo ha.” Ya mere, Doeg onye Edọm chigharịrị tigbuo ha. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, o gburu iri ndị nchụaja asatọ na ise, ndị yi uwe akwa ọcha efọọd.
19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword—both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle, donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
O ji mma agha jee Nob, obodo ndị nchụaja, gbuo ezinaụlọ ndị nchụaja niile, nwoke na nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị, na ụmụ na-aṅụ ara. O gbukwara ehi na ịnyịnya ibu na atụrụ ha niile.
20 One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
Otu nʼime ụmụ Ahimelek nwa Ahitub, aha ya bụ Abịata gbapụrụ, gbakwuru Devid.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD’s priests.
Ọ gwara Devid na Sọl egbuola ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sịrị Abịata, “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, mgbe Doeg onye Edọm nọ nʼebe ahụ, amaara m na ọ ghaghị ịgwa Sọl. Mụ onwe m kpatara ọnwụ ndị niile nke ndị ezinaụlọ nna gị.
23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. You will be safe with me.”
Soro m nọdụ nʼebe a, atụla ụjọ, nʼihi na onye na-achọ ndụ gị na-achọkwa ndụ nke m. Mmekpa ahụ ọbụla agaghị adakwasị gị ma mụ na gị nọdụ.”
