1 Ale David dzo le Gat eye wòsi yi Adulam ƒe agado me; le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, nɔviawo kple ƒometɔwo va tsi egbɔ le afi ma.
And he went David from there and he escaped to [the] cave of Adullam and they heard brothers his and all [the] household of father his and they went down to him there towards.
2 Tete ame siwo nɔ hiãkame aɖe me abe fenyilawo ene alo ame siwo nu tɔxɛ aɖe nɔ fu ɖem na la de asi egbɔ vava me va se ɖe esime wòva zu tatɔ na ame abe alafa ene ene.
And they gathered together to him every man of distress and every man whom [belonged] to him a creditor and every man bitter of soul and he became over them a commander and they were with him about four hundred man.
3 Emegbe la, David yi Mizpa le Moab nyigba dzi be yeabia mɔfiala ale be ye fofo kple ye dada nava nɔ afi ma le fia la ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te, va se ɖe esime yeanya nu si Mawu le wɔwɔ ge na ye.
And he went David from there Mizpah of Moab and he said - to [the] king of Moab let him go out please father my and mother my with you until that I will know what? will he do for me God.
4 Ale wonɔ Moab nyigba dzi le David ƒe agado la me nɔɣi la katã.
And he led them with [the] presence of [the] king of Moab and they remained with him all [the] days of [the] being of David in the stronghold.
5 Gbe ɖeka la, Nyagblɔɖila Gad gblɔ na David be wòadzo le agado la me eye wòatrɔ ayi Yuda. Ale David yi ave aɖe me le Heret.
And he said Gad the prophet to David not you must remain in the stronghold go and you will go for yourself [the] land of Judah and he went David and he came [the] forest of Hereth.
6 Esi wòva ɖo afi ma tetee ko la, Saul se be eva ɖo Yudanyigba dzi elabena Saul nɔ Gibea ɣe ma ɣi. Enɔ anyi ɖe oɖumti aɖe te nɔ fefem kple eƒe yi eye eƒe aʋafiawo ƒo xlãe.
And he heard Saul that he was known David and [the] men who [were] with him and Saul [was] sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at the high place and spear his [was] in hand his and all servants his [were] standing with him.
7 Esi wòse nya sia la, egblɔ be, “Miɖo tom, mi Benyaminviwo! Ɖe David do ŋugbe na mi be yeana agbledenyigbawo kple waingblewo mi eye yeado mi ɖe ŋgɔ le aʋakɔ la mea?
And he said Saul to servants his who were standing with him listen please O Ben-jaminites also? to all of you will he give [the] son of Jesse fields and vineyards all of you will he appoint commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
8 Esia tae mietsi tsitre ɖe ŋunyea? Mia dometɔ aɖeke megblɔ nam kpɔ be nye ŋutɔ vinye le David dzi o. Miexa nu ɖe nunye gɔ̃ hã o. Mibu eŋu kpɔ! Nye ŋutɔ vinye nado ŋusẽ David be woade xa ɖe ŋunye abe ale si wòwɔ egbea ene.”
For you have conspired all of you on me and there not [is one who] opens ear my when made son my with [the] son of Jesse and not [was] feeling pain any of you on me and opening ear my that he has raised up son my servant my on me to an ambusher as the day this.
9 Ke Doeg, Edomtɔ, si nɔ tsitre kple Saul ƒe amewo le afi ma la gblɔ be, “Esi menɔ Nɔb la, mekpɔ Yese viŋutsu la wònɔ dze ɖom kple Ahimelek, Ahitub viŋutsu la.
And he answered Doeg the Edomite and he [was] standing with [the] servants of Saul and he said I saw [the] son of Jesse coming Nob towards to Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub.
10 Abimelek bia nu Yehowa nɛ, ena nuɖuɖui eye wòtsɔ Goliat, Filistitɔ la, ƒe yi hã nɛ.”
And he enquired for him by Yahweh and food he gave to him and [the] sword of Goliath the Philistine he gave to him.
11 Ale Fia Saul ɖo du ɖe nunɔla Ahimelek, Ahitub viŋutsu kple eƒe ƒometɔwo katã, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo le Nɔb eye wova fia la gbɔ.
And he sent the king to summon Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub the priest and all [the] house of father his the priests who [were] at Nob and they came all of them to the king.
12 Saul gblɔ na Abimelek be, “Ɖo tom, wò Ahitub viŋutsu!” Abimelek ɖo eŋu be, “Mele to ɖom nye aƒetɔ.”
And he said Saul listen please O son of Ahitub and he said here [am] I O lord my.
13 Saul biae be, “Nu ka tae wò kple David, miebla ɖe ŋunye? Nu ka ta wò Yese vi nèna nuɖuɖui, tsɔ yi de asi nɛ eye nèbia gbe Mawu tso eŋu gblɔ nɛ? Nu ka ta nèdo ŋusẽe be wòatso ɖe ŋunye eye wòava afi sia, aho aʋa ɖe ŋunye?”
And he said (to him *Q(k)*) Saul why? have you conspired on me you and [the] son of Jesse when giving you to him bread and a sword and [you] enquired for him by God to rise up against me to an ambusher as the day this.
14 Ahimelek ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ɖe ame ɖeka aɖe le wò subɔlawo katã dome si nye nuteƒewɔla na wò abe wò toyɔvi, David enea? Eyae nye ŋuwòmewo ƒe amegã eye wòganye wò aƒemetɔ si amewo buna la.
And he answered Ahimelech the king and he said and who? among all servants your [is] like David faithful and [the] son-in-law of the king and [one who] turns aside to bodyguard your and honored in household your.
15 Menye esiae nye zi gbãtɔ si mebia nya Mawu tso eŋu o! Menyo be nàtsɔ nya ɖe nye kple nye ƒometɔwo ŋu alea o elabena míenya naneke tso nya sia si nètsɔ ɖe mía ŋu la ŋu o.”
This day did I begin? (to enquire *Q(k)*) for him by God far be it to me may not he put the king against servant his anything against all [the] house of father my for not he knew servant your in all this anything small or great.
16 Fia Saul do ɣli be, “Wò, Ahimelek kple wò ƒometɔwo katã miaku!”
And he said the king certainly you will die O Ahimelech you and all [the] house of father your.
17 Eɖe gbe na eƒe asrafowo be, “Miwu nunɔla siawo katã elabena wobla kple David ɖe ŋunye; wonya be ele sisim le nunye, ke womegblɔe nam o!” Ke asrafoawo gbe womewu Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo o.
And he said the king to the runners who were standing with him turn round and put to death - [the] priests of Yahweh for also hand their [is] with David and for they knew that [was] fleeing he and not they uncovered (ear my *Q(K)*) and not they were willing [the] servants of the king to stretch out hand their to fall on [the] priests of Yahweh.
18 Fia la ɖe gbe na Doeg be, “Wò ŋutɔ wu wo!” Ale Doeg, Edomtɔ la wu nunɔla blaenyi-vɔ-atɔ̃wo le esime wonɔ nunɔlawo ƒe awu me.
And he said the king (to Doeg *Q(k)*) turn round you and fall on the priests and he turned round (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite and he fell he on the priests and he killed - on the day that eighty and five man [who] carried an ephod of linen.
19 Le esia yome la, eyi Nɔb, nunɔlawo ƒe du me eye wòwu nunɔlawo ƒe ƒometɔwo, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple vidzĩwo hekpe ɖe woƒe nyiwo, tedziwo kple alẽwo ŋu.
And Nob [the] city of the priests he struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword from man and unto woman from child and unto suckling-child and ox[en] and donkey[s] and sheep to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
20 Eye Ahitub vi, Ahimelek ƒe vi ɖeka si ŋkɔ nye Abiata la si dze David yome.
And he escaped a son one of Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub and name his [was] Abiathar and he fled after David.
21 Esi Abiata gblɔ nu si Saul wɔ na David la,
And he told Abiathar to David that he had killed Saul [the] priests of Yahweh.
22 David do ɣli gblɔ na Abiata be, “Menya nenema! Esi mekpɔ Doeg, Edomtɔ la le afi ma la, menya be agblɔe na Saul. Azɔ la, mehe ku vɛ na fofowò ƒe ƒometɔwo katã.
And he said David to Abiathar I knew on the day that that [was] there (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite that certainly he will tell to Saul I I have turned in every life of [the] house of father your.
23 Nɔ gbɔnye le afi sia. Mègavɔ̃ o elabena ame si le nye ku dim lae le wò hã tɔ di ge; ànɔ dedie le gbɔnye.”
Remain! with me may not you be afraid for [the one] who he seeks life my he seeks life your for [are] in good care you with me.
