1 Samuel 24
1 And it cometh to pass when Saul hath turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, 'Lo, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.'
Nígbà tí Saulu padà kúrò lẹ́yìn àwọn Filistini a sì sọ fún un pé, “Wò ó, Dafidi ń bẹ́ ni aginjù En-Gedi.”
2 And Saul taketh three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goeth to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
Saulu sì mú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta akọni ọkùnrin tí a yàn nínú gbogbo Israẹli ó sì lọ láti wá Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ lórí òkúta àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó.
3 and he cometh in unto folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goeth in to cover his feet; and David and his men in the sides of the cave are abiding.
Ó sì dé ibi àwọn agbo àgùntàn tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà, ihò kan sì wà níbẹ̀, Saulu sì wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ láti bo ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ lẹ́bàá ihò náà.
4 And the men of David say unto him, 'Lo, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Lo, I am giving thine enemy into thy hand, and thou hast done to him as it is good in thine eyes;' and David riseth and cutteth off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul — gently.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, èyí ni ọjọ́ náà tí Olúwa wí fún ọ pé, ‘Wò ó, èmi fi ọ̀tá rẹ lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ ó sì ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ lójú rẹ.’” Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì yọ́ lọ gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
5 And it cometh to pass afterwards that the heart of David smiteth him, because that he hath cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn èyí, àyà já Dafidi nítorí tí ó gé etí aṣọ Saulu.
6 and he saith to his men, 'Far be it from me, by Jehovah; I do not do this thing to my lord — to the anointed of Jehovah — to put forth my hand against him, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].'
Òun sì wí fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Èèwọ̀ ni fún mi láti ọ̀dọ́ Olúwa wá bí èmi bá ṣe nǹkan yìí sí ẹni tí a ti fi àmì òróró Olúwa yàn, láti nawọ́ mi sí i, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni.”
7 And David subdueth his men by words, and hath not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul hath risen from the cave, and goeth on the way;
Dafidi sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí dá àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ dúró, kò sì jẹ́ kí wọn dìde sí Saulu, Saulu sì dìde kúrò ní ihò náà, ó sì bá ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ.
8 and David riseth afterwards, and goeth out from the cave, and calleth after Saul, saying, 'My lord, O king!' And Saul looketh attentively behind him, and David boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance.
Dafidi sì dìde lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì jáde kúrò nínú ihò náà ó sì kọ sí Saulu pé, “Olúwa mi, ọba!” Saulu sì wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Dafidi sì dojú rẹ́ bo ilẹ̀ ó sì tẹríba fún un.
9 And David saith to Saul, 'Why dost thou hear the words of man, saying, Lo, David is seeking thine evil?
Dafidi sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ fi ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn pé, ‘Wò ó, Dafidi ń wa ẹ̀mí rẹ́’?
10 Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and [one] said to slay thee, and [mine eye] hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].
Wò ó, ojú rẹ́ rí i lónìí, bí Olúwa ti fi ìwọ lé mi lọ́wọ́ lónìí nínú ihò, àwọn kan ní kí èmi ó pa ọ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi dá ọ sí, ‘Èmi sì wí pé, èmi kì yóò nawọ́ mi sí olúwa mi, nítorí pé ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa ni òun jẹ́.’
11 'And, my father, see, yea see the skirt of thine upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of thy upper robe, and I have not slain thee, know and see that there is not in my hand evil and transgression, and I have not sinned against thee, and thou art hunting my soul to take it!
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, baba mi, wò ó, àní wo etí aṣọ rẹ lọ́wọ́ mi; nítorí èmi gé etí aṣọ rẹ, èmi kò sì pa ọ́, sì wò ó, kí o sì mọ̀ pé kò sí ibi tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi kò sì ṣẹ̀ ọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń dọdẹ ẹ̀mí mi láti gbà á.
12 'Jehovah doth judge between me and thee, and Jehovah hath avenged me of thee, and my hand is not on thee;
Kí Olúwa ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, àti kí Olúwa ó gbẹ̀san mi lára rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n, ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
13 as saith the simile of the ancients, From the wicked goeth out wickedness, and my hand is not on thee.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òwe ìgbà àtijọ́ ti wí, ìwà búburú a máa ti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú jáde wá; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ mi kì yóò sí lára rẹ.
14 'After whom hath the king of Israel come out? after whom art thou pursuing? — after a dead dog! after one flea!
“Nítorí ta ni ọba Israẹli fi jáde? Ta ni ìwọ ń lépa? Òkú ajá, tàbí eṣinṣin?
15 And Jehovah hath been for judge, and hath judged between me and thee, yea, he seeth and pleadeth my cause, and doth deliver me out of thy hand.'
Kí Olúwa ó ṣe onídàájọ́, kí ó sì dájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, kí ó sì gbèjà mi, kí ó sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ.”
16 And it cometh to pass, when David completeth to speak these words unto Saul, that Saul saith, 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' and Saul lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Dafidi sì dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún Saulu, Saulu sì wí pé, “Ohùn rẹ ni èyí bí, Dafidi ọmọ mi?” Saulu sì gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sọkún.
17 And he saith unto David, 'More righteous thou [art] than I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil;
Ó sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ìwọ ṣe olódodo jù mí lọ; nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìre san án fún mi, èmi fi ibi san án fún ọ.
18 and thou hast declared to-day how that thou hast done good with me, how that Jehovah shut me up into thy hand, and thou didst not slay me,
Ìwọ sì fi oore tí ìwọ ti ṣe fún mi hàn lónìí: nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé, Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí mi lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ kò sì pa mí.
19 and that a man doth find his enemy, and hath sent him away in a good manner; and Jehovah doth repay thee good for that which thou didst to me this day.
Nítorí pé bí ènìyàn bá rí ọ̀tá rẹ̀, ó lè jẹ́ kí ó lọ ní àlàáfíà bí? Olúwa yóò sì fi ìre san èyí ti ìwọ ṣe fún mi lónìí.
20 'And, now, lo, I have known that thou dost certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel hath stood in thy hand;
Wò ó, èmi mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, nítòótọ́ ìwọ ó jẹ ọba, àti pé ìjọba Israẹli yóò sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ.
21 and, now, swear to me by Jehovah — thou dost not cut off my seed after me, nor dost thou destroy my name from the house of my father.'
Sì búra fún mi nísinsin yìí ní orúkọ Olúwa, pé, ìwọ kì yóò gé irú-ọmọ mi kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, àti pé, ìwọ kì yóò pa orúkọ mi run kúrò ní ìdílé baba mi.”
22 And David sweareth to Saul, and Saul goeth unto his house, and David and his men have gone up unto the fortress.
Dafidi sì búra fún Saulu. Saulu sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ sí ihò náà.
