1 Samuel 24
1 And whanne Saul turnede ayen, aftir that he pursuede Filisteis, thei telden to hym, and seiden, Lo! Dauid is in the deseert of Engaddi.
Awo Sawulo bwe yakomawo ng’ava okugoba Abafirisuuti, ne bamutegeeza nti, “Dawudi ali mu ddungu erya Engedi.”
2 Therfor Saul took three thousinde of chosun men of al Israel, and yede to seke Dauid and hise men, yhe on moost brokun rochis, that ben `able to weie to wield geet aloone.
Sawulo n’alonda abasajja enkumi ssatu okuva mu Isirayiri yenna, n’agenda nabo okunoonya Dawudi n’abasajja be, ku luuyi olw’enjazi embulabuzi gye Zaabeeranga.
3 And he cam to the fooldis of scheep, that offriden hem silf to the wei goere. And there was a denne, in to which denne Saul entride, that he schulde purge the wombe; forsothe Dauid and hise men weren hid in the ynnere part of the denne.
Sawulo n’atuuka okumpi n’awaali ebisibo by’endiga ebyali ku mabbali g’ekkubo, n’alaba empuku, n’ayingira omwo okuwummulako. Dawudi n’abasajja be baali mu mpuku omwo mu bifo ebikomererayo.
4 And the seruauntis of Dauid seiden to hym, Lo! the dai of which the Lord spak to the, Y schal bitake to thee thin enemy, that thou do to hym as it plesith in thin iyen. Therfor Dauid roos, and kittide the hemme of the mentil of Saul priuely.
Awo abasajja ba Dawudi ne bamugamba nti, “Luno lwe lunaku Mukama lwe yayogerako bwe yagamba nti, ‘Ndiwaayo omulabe wo mu mukono gwo, omukole nga bw’osiima.’” Dawudi n’asooba mpola n’asala ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kya Sawulo.
5 Aftir these thingis Dauid smoot his herte, for he hadde kit awei the hemme of the mentil of Saul.
Naye oluvannyuma Dawudi n’awulira okulumirizibwa mu mutima olw’okusala ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kya Sawulo.
6 And Dauid seide to hise men, The Lord be merciful to me, lest Y do this thing to my lord, the crist of the Lord, that Y sende myn hond `in to hym, for he is the crist of the Lord. The Lord lyueth, for no but the Lord smyte hym, ether his dai come, that he die, ether he go doun in to batel and perische, the Lord be merciful to me, that Y sende not myn hond in to the crist of the Lord.
N’agamba abasajja be nti, “Kikafuuwe, nze okukola mukama wange ekintu ekifaanana bwe kityo, Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta, wadde okumugololerako omukono, kubanga Mukama yamufukako amafuta.”
7 Forsothe Saul roos out of the denne, and yede in the weie bigunnun.
N’ebigambo ebyo Dawudi n’aziyiza abasajja be n’atabakkiriza kulumba Sawulo. Awo Sawulo n’ava mu mpuku, n’agenda.
8 Sotheli Dauid roos aftir hym, and he yede out of the denne, and criede aftir the bak of Saul, and seide, My lord, the kyng! And Saul bihelde bihinde him silf; and Dauid bowide hym silf lowe to the erthe, and worschipide.
Oluvannyuma, Dawudi naye n’afuluma empuku, n’akoowoola Sawulo ng’ayogera nti, “Mukama wange kabaka!” Awo Sawulo n’akyuka n’atunula emabega, Dawudi n’avuunama n’akka wansi ne yeeyala ku ttaka.
9 And he seide to Saul, Whi herist thou the wordis of men spekynge, Dauid sekith yuel ayens thee?
Dawudi n’agamba Sawulo nti, “Lwaki owuliriza eŋŋambo z’abantu aboogera nti, ‘Dawudi amaliridde okukukola akabi?’
10 Lo! to dai thin iyen siyen, that the Lord bitook thee in myn hond in the denne, and Y thouyte that Y wolde sle thee, but myn iye sparide thee; for Y seide, Y schal not holde forth myn hond in to my lord, which is the crist, `that is, anoyntid, of the Lord.
Leero okirabye n’amaaso go, Mukama bw’akumpadde mu mukono gwange ng’oli mu mpuku. Wabaddewo ababadde banneegayirira nkutte, naye ne sibawuliriza. Nagambye nti, ‘Sijja kugolola mukono gwange ku mukama wange, kubanga Mukama yamufukako amafuta.’
11 But rathere, my fadir, se thou, and knowe the hemme of thi mentil in myn hond, for whanne Y kittide aweie the hemme of thi mentil, Y nolde holde forth myn hond in thee; perseyue thou, and see, for nether yuel nether wickidnesse is in myn hond, nether Y synnede ayens thee; but thou aspiest my lijf, that thou do it awei.
Kitange laba, akatundu ke naggye ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kyo. Nasaze busazi ku kyambalo kyo naye ne sikutta. Kaakano kitegeere era okimanye nga sikusobyanga newaakubadde okukujeemera. Sinnakusobya newaakubadde ng’onjigganya okunzita.
12 The Lord deme bitwixe me and thee, and the Lord venge me of thee; but myn hond be not in thee,
Mukama alamule wakati wange naawe. Mukama akusasule ng’ebikolwa ebibi byonna by’onkoze bwe biri, naye nze siriyimusa mukono gwange ku ggwe.
13 as it is seid also in eld prouerbe, Wickidnesse schal go out of wickid men; therfor myn hond be not in thee.
Ng’olugero olw’ab’edda bwe baalugera nti, ‘Mu babi mwe muva akabi,’ kyendiva sikuyimusiza mukono gwange.
14 `Whom pursuest thou, kyng of Israel, whom pursuest thou? Thou pursuest a deed hound, and a quyk fle.
Kabaka wa Isirayiri ajjiridde ani? Ani gw’oyigganya? Mbwa nfu oba nkukunyi?
15 The Lord be iuge, and the Lord deme bitwixe me and thee, and se, and deme my cause, and delyuere me fro thin hond.
Mukama atulamule, asalewo wakati wo nange. Mukama atunuulire ensonga yange andokole mu mukono gwo.”
16 Sotheli whanne Dauid hadde fillid spekynge siche wordis to Saul, Saul seide, Whether this is thi vois, my sone Dauid? And Saul reiside his vois, and wepte.
Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, Sawulo n’abuuza nti, “Eryo ddoboozi lyo, Dawudi mutabani wange?” Sawulo n’akuba ebiwoobe.
17 And he seide to Dauid, Thou art more iust than Y; for thou yauest goodis to me; forsothe Y yeldide yuelis to thee.
N’agamba Dawudi nti, “Ggwe oli mutuukirivu okunsinga, kubanga onsasudde bulungi, newaakubadde nga nze nkuyisizza bubi.
18 And thou schewidist to me to dai, what goodis thou hast do to me, how the Lord bitook me in thin hond, and thou killidist not me.
Leero ontegeezezza bw’onkoze obulungi, bw’otanzise ate nga Mukama yampaddeyo mu mukono gwo.
19 For who, `whanne he fyndith his enemy, schal delyuere hym in good weie? But the Lord yelde to thee this while, for that, that thou wrouytist to dai in me.
Omuntu bw’asiŋŋaana omulabe we, ayinza okumuganya okugenda nga tamutuusizzaako bisago? Kale Mukama akusasule bulungi olw’ekikolwa ky’onkoze leero.
20 And now, for Y woot, that thou schalt regne moost certeynli, and schalt haue in thin hond the rewme of Israel, swere thou to me in the Lord,
Kaakano ntegeeredde ddala ng’onoobeera kabaka, era n’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri bulinywezebwa mu mukono gwo.
21 that thou do not a wei my seed aftir me, nether take a wey my name fro the hows of my fadir.
Kale nno ndayirira eri Mukama, nga tolizikiriza bazzukulu bange newaakubadde okusaanyaawo erinnya lyange mu nnyumba ya kitange.”
22 And Dauid swoor to Saul. Therfor Saul yede in to his hows, and Dauid and hise men stieden to sikire placis.
Awo Dawudi n’alayirira Sawulo. Sawulo n’addayo ewuwe, naye Dawudi ne basajja be ne baddayo mu kifo gye baali beekwese.
