1 Samuel 18
1 And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth 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 taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him to turn back to the house of his father.
Saaʼolis gaafa sanaa jalqabee Daawitin ofitti fudhate; akka inni gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼus hin eeyyamneef.
3 And Jonathan maketh — also David — a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,
Yoonaataan sababii akka mataa isaatti isa jaallateef Daawit wajjin kakuu seene.
4 and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which [is] upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle.
Yoonaataanis qoloo uffatee ture of irraa baasee kittaa isaa, goraadee isaa, iddaa isaatii fi sabbata isaa dabalee Daawitiif kenne.
5 And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
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 cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David's returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing — also the dancers — to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
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 answer — those playing, and say, 'Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.'
Dubartoonni sunis wal jalaa qabanii: “Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatamaa ajjeese” jedhanii faarfatan.
8 And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he saith, 'They have given to David myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to him [is] only 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 is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth.
Gaafasii jalqabee Saaʼol ija hinaaffaatiin Daawitin ilaala ture.
10 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
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 casteth the javelin, and saith, 'I smite through David, even through the wall;' and David turneth round out of his presence twice.
innis, “Ani Daawitin keenyanittan hodha” jedhee waan yaadeef eeboo itti darbate. Daawit garuu yeroo lama isa duraa miliqe.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside;
Saaʼolis Daawitin sodaate; Waaqayyo Saaʼolin dhiisee Daawit wajjin tureetii.
13 and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh 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 is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah [is] with him,
Sababii Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef inni waan hojjetu hundumaan ni milkaaʼa ture.
15 and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Saaʼolis yeroo akka inni milkaaʼe argetti isa ni sodaate.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaan hundi garuu Daawitin ni jaallatan; inni fuula isaanii dura ni baʼa; ni galas tureetii.
17 And Saul saith unto David, 'Lo, my elder daughter Merab — her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;' and Saul said, 'Let not my hand be on 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 saith unto Saul, 'Who [am] I? and what my life — the family of my father in Israel — that I am 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 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Kanaafuu yommuu yeroon itti Meerab intalli Saaʼol Daawititti heerumtu dhiʼaatetti isheen Adriiʼeel nama biyya Mehoolaatitti heerumte.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Miikaal intalli Saaʼolis Daawitin jaallattee turte; Saaʼolis yeroo waaʼee kanaa dhagaʼetti ni gammade.
21 and Saul saith, 'I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;' and Saul saith unto David, 'By the second — thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.'
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 commandeth his servants, 'Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.'
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 the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, 'Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king — and I 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 declare to him, saying, 'According to these words hath David spoken.'
Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol waan Daawit jedhe isatti himan;
25 And Saul saith, 'Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines — to be avenged on the enemies of the king;' and Saul thought to cause David to 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 his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,
Yommuu tajaajiltoonni sun waan kana Daawititti himanitti, Daawit soddaa mootii taʼuuf ni gammade. Kanaafuu utuu yeroon isaa hin gaʼin,
27 and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to 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 seeth and knoweth that Jehovah [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him,
Saaʼol yommuu akka Waaqayyo Daawit wajjin jiruu fi akka Miikaal isa jaallate hubatetti,
29 and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet; and Saul is an enemy with David all the days.
ammas akka malee isa sodaate; bara jireenya isaa kan hafe hundas diina isaa taʼee jiraate.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
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.
