1 Samuel 23
1 And thei telden to Dauid, and seiden, Lo! Filisteis fiyten ayens Seila, and rauyschen the corn floris.
Wakamwambia Daudi, “Tazama, Wafilisti wanaupiga Keila na wanapora nafaka inayopurwa.”
2 Therfor Dauid councelide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal go, and smyte Filisteis? And the Lord seide to Dauid, Go thou, and thou schalt smyte Filisteis, and thou schalt saue Seila.
Hivyo Daudi akamwomba BWANA kwa ajili ya msaada, na akamuuliza,” Je, niondoke niwapige hawa Wafilisti? BWANA akamwambia Daudi, “Nenda ukawapige Wafilisti na kuokoa Keila.”
3 And men, that weren with Dauid, seiden to him, Lo! we ben heere in Judee, and dredden; hou myche more, if we schulen go in to Seila ayens the cumpanyes of Filisteis.
Daudi akaambiwa na watu wake, “Angalia, hapa Yuda tunaogopa. Je, si zaidi sana kama tutaenda Keila kupambana na majeshi ya Wafilisti?”
4 Therfor eft Dauid councelide the Lord; which answeride, and seide to Dauid, Rise thou, and go `in to Seila; for Y schal bitake Filisteis in thin hond.
Ndipo Daudi akamwomba BWANA kwa ajili ya msaada, bado tena, BWANA akamjibu, “Amka, uteremke hadi Keila. Maana nitakupatia ushindi dhidi ya Wafilisti.”
5 Therfor Dauid yede, and hise men, in to Seila, and fauyt ayens Filisteis; and he droof awey her werk beestis, and smoot hem with greet wounde; and Dauid sauyde the dwelleris of Seila.
Daudi na watu wake wakaenda Keila na kupigana na Wafilisti. Wakahamisha ng'ombe wao na kuwapiga kwa mauaji makubwa mno. Hivyo Daudi akawaokoa wenyeji wa Keila.
6 Forsothe in that tyme, `wher ynne Abiathar, sone of Achymelech, fledde to Dauid in to Seile, he cam doun, and hadde with hym `ephoth, that is, the cloth of the hiyeste preest.
Abiathari mwana wa Ahimeleki alipokuwa amekimbilia kwa Daudi huko Keila, alibeba naivera mkononi mwake.
7 Forsothe it was teld to Saul, that Dauid hadde come in to Seila; and Saul seide, The Lord hath take hym in to myn hondis, and he `is closid, and entride in to a citee, in which ben yatis and lockis.
Sauli aliambiwa kwamba Daudi amekwenda Keila. Sauli akasema, “Mungu amemweka mkononi mwangu. Bila shaka amefungiwa ndani kwa sababu ameingia katika mji ulio na malango na makomeo.”
8 And Saul comaundide to al the puple, that it schulde go doun to batel in to Seila, and bisege Dauid and hise men.
Sauli akayaita majeshi yake yote kwa ajili ya vita, waende hadi Keila, wamteke Daudi na watu wake.
9 And whanne Dauid perceyuede, that Saul made redi yuel priueli to hym, he seide to Abiathar, preest, Brynge hidur ephoth.
Daudi alijua kwamba Sauli alikuwa anapanga njama za kumdhuru yeye. Ndipo akamwambia kuhani Abiathari kuhani, “Ulete hapa naivera.”
10 And Dauid seide, Lord God of Israel, thi seruaunt `herde fame, that Saul disposith to come to Seila, that he distrie the citee for me;
Kisha Daudi akasema, “BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, mtumishi wako hakika amesikia kwamba Sauli anatafuta namna ya kuja Keila, ili auteketeze mji kwa ajili yangu.
11 if the men of Seila schulen bitake me in to hise hondis, and if Saul schal come doun, as thi seruaunt herde, thou Lord God of Israel schewe to thi seruaunt? And the Lord seide, He schal come doun.
Je, watu wa Keila watanisalimisha mkononi mwake? Je, Sauli atashuka hadi huko, kama mtumishi wako alivyosikia? BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, nakusihi, tafadhali mwambie mtumishi wako. “BWANA akasema, “Atakuja huko.”
12 And Dauid seide eft, Whether the men of Seila schulen bitake me, and the men that ben with me, in to the hondis of Saul? And the Lord seide, Thei schulen bitake, `that is, if thou dwellist in the citee, and Saul come thidur.
Kisha Daudi akauliza, “Je, watu wa Keila watanisalimisha mimi na watu wangu katika mkono wa Sauli?” BWANA akasema, “Watu hao watawasalimisha kwao.”
13 Therfor Dauid roos, and hise men, as sixe hundrid; and thei yeden out of Seila, and wandriden vncerteyn hidur and thidur. And it was telde to Saul, that Dauid hadde fledde fro Seila, and was saued; wherfor Saul dissymylide to go out.
Kisha Daudi na watu wake, waliokuwa kama mia sita, walitoka na kwenda mbali na Keila, na wakazunguka kila sehemu. Kisha Sauli akaambiwa kwamba Daudi ametoroka kutoka Keila, hivyo akasitisha kumfuatia.
14 Forsothe Dauid dwellide in the deseert, in strongeste places, and he dwellide in the hil of wildirnesse of Ziph, in a derk hil; netheles Saul souyte hym in alle daies, and the Lord bitook not hym in to the hondis of Saul.
Daudi alikaa ngomeni katika jangwa, kwenye nchi ya milima katika jangwa la Zifu. Kila siku Sauli alimtafuta, lakini Mungu hakumweka mkononi mwake.
15 And Dauid siy, that Saul yede out, that he schulde seke his lijf. Forsothe Dauid was in the deseert of Ziph, in a wode.
Daudi aliona kwamba Sauli amejitokeza kuangamiza maisha yake; basi Daudi alikuwa katika jjangwa la Zifu huko Horeshi.
16 And Jonathas, the sone of Saul, roos, and yede to Dauid in to the wode, and coumfortide hise hondis in God.
Kisha Yonathani, mwana wa Sauli, akaamuka akaenda kwa Daudi huko Horshi, naye akamtia moyo amtumainie Mungu.
17 And he seide to Dauid, Drede thou not; for the hond of Saul my fadir schal not fynde thee, and thou schalt regne on Israel, and Y schal be the secounde to thee; but also Saul my father woot this.
Akamwambia, “Usiogope. Kwa maana mkono wa baba yangu Sauli hautakupata. Utakuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli, na mimi nitakuwa msaidizi wako. Baba yangu Sauli pia anajua hivyo.”
18 Therfor euer eithir smoot boond of pees bifor the Lord. And Dauid dwellide in the wode; forsothe Jonathas turnede ayen in to his hows.
Basi wote wawili wakafanya agano mbele za BWANA. Kisha Daudi alibaki Horeshi, na Yonathani akaenda nyumbani.
19 Forsothe men of Ziph stieden to Saul in Gabaa, and seiden, Lo! whether not Dauid is hid at vs in the sikireste places of the wode, in the hille of Achille, which is at the riyt syde of deseert?
Nndipo Wazifi wakamwendea Sauli huko Gibea wakisema, “Je, Daudi hakujificha kati yetu kwenye ngome huko Horeshi, juu ya mlima wa Hakila, ulioko kusini mwa Yeshimoni?
20 Now therfor come thou doun, as thi soule desiride, that thou schuldist come doun; forsothe it schal be oure, that we bitake hym in to the hondis of the kyng.
Basi uje, mfalme! Kulingana na matakwa yako, uje! Kazi yetu itakuwa kumtia katika mkono wa mfalme.”
21 And Saul seide, Blessid be ye of the Lord, for ye sorewiden `for my stide.
Sauli akasema, “Mbarikiwe na BWANA. Kwa sababu mmenihurumia.
22 Therfor, Y preie, go ye, and make redi more diligentli, and do ye more curiousli ether intentifli, and biholde ye swiftly, where his foot is, ethir who siy hym there, where ye seiden; for he thenkith on me, that felli Y aspie hym.
Nendeni, mhakikishe sawasawa. Tafuteni na kujua maficho yake yako wapi na ni nani amemwona huko. Nimeambiwa kwamba yeye ni mjanja sana.
23 Biholde ye, and se alle his hidyng places, in whiche he is hid, and turne ye ayen to me at a certeyn thing, that Y go with you; that if he closith hym silf yhe in to erthe, Y schal seke hym with alle the thousyndis of Juda.
Kwa hiyo chunguzeni, mjue sehemu zote anakojificha. Baadaye rudini kwangu mkiwa na taarifa kamili, na kisha nitaongozana nanyi. Ikiwa yupo katika nchi, nitamtafuta kutoka miongoni mwa elfu zote za Yuda.”
24 And thei risiden, and yeden in to Ziph bifor Saul. Forsothe Dauid and hise men weren in the deseert of Maon, in the feldi places, at the riyt half of Jesymyth.
Ndipo wakaamka na kwenda hadi Zifu mbele ya Sauli. Wakati huo Daudi na watu wake walikuwa katika jangwa la Maoni, huko Araba upande wa kusini mwa Yeshimoni.
25 Therfor Saul yede and hise felowis to seke Dauid, and it was teld to Dauid; and anoon he yede doun to the stoon, and lyuyde in the deseert of Maon; and whanne Saul hadde herd this, he pursuede Dauid in the deseert of Maon.
Sauli na watu wake wakaenda kumtafuta Daudi. Na Daudi akaambiwa habari hiyo, hivyo akateremka hadi kwenye mlima wa miamba na akakaa katika jangwa la Maoni. Sauli aliposikia hivyo, akamfukuza Daudi katika Jangwa la Maoni.
26 And Saul yede and hise men at the side of the hil `on o part; forsothe Dauid and hise men weren in the side of the hil on the tother part; sotheli Dauid dispeiride, that he myyte ascape fro the face of Saul. And so Saul and hise men cumpassiden bi the maner of a coroun Dauid and hise men, that thei schulden take hem.
Sauli akaenda akawa upande mmoja wa mlima, na Daudi na watu wake walikuwa wakienda upande mwingine wa mlima. Daudi kwa haraka akatoweka akae mbali na Sauli. Kwa sababu Sauli na watu wake walikuwa wakimzunguka Daudi na watu wake wawakamate,
27 And a messanger cam to Saul, and seide, Haste thou, and come, for Filisteis han spred hem silf on the lond.
mjumbe mmoja akaja kwa Sauli na kusema, “Njoo, harakisha maana Wafilisti wamepanga uvamizi juu ya nchi.”
28 Therfor Saul turnede ayen, and ceesside to pursue Dauid; and yede ayens the comyng of Filisteis. For this thing thei clepen that place the Stoon Departynge.
Kwa hiyo Sauli akarudi asimfuatie Daudi na akaenda kupambana na Wafilisti. Kwa hiyo sehemu ile iliitwa Mwamba wa Maficho.
29 Therfor Dauid stiede fro thennus, and dwellide in the sykireste places of Engaddi.
Daudi akapanda kutoka huko na kukaa katika ngome ya Engedi.
