1 Thuutha wa Daudi kũrĩĩkia kwaria na Saũlũ, Jonathani akiumĩrania ngoro na Daudi, akĩmwenda o ta ũrĩa eyendete we mwene.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid ne Saulo kasa wieeɛ no, ɔhyiaa ɔhene babarima Yonatan. Wɔn baanu no dodɔɔ wɔn ho prɛko pɛ na wɔbɛyɛɛ nnamfo pa ara.
2 Kuuma mũthenya ũcio Saũlũ akĩiga Daudi gwake na ndaarekire acooke kũinũka mũciĩ gwa ithe.
Ɛfiri saa ɛda no, Saulo gyee Dawid tenaa ahemfie hɔ a wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛsane akɔ ne fie.
3 Nake Jonathani akĩgĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na Daudi nĩ ũndũ nĩamwendete o ta ũrĩa eyendete we mwene.
Na Yonatan ne Dawid yɛɛ apam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ nnamfo.
4 Jonathani akĩruta nguo ĩrĩa ndaaya yake ya igũrũ ĩrĩa eehumbĩte akĩmĩhe Daudi, hamwe na kanjũ yake, na rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, na ũta wake na mũcibi wake.
Na Yonatan de ne batakari, nhyɛaseɛ, akofena, agyan ne abɔwomu maa Dawid de sɔɔ apam no ano.
5 Ũrĩa wothe Saũlũ aatũmaga Daudi ageeke, nĩawĩkaga ũkagaacĩra, nginya Saũlũ akĩmũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita. Ũndũ ũcio ũgĩkenia andũ othe, na ũgĩkenia anene a Saũlũ o nao.
Biribiara a Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ ɔnyɛ no, Dawid yɛɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Enti, Saulo yɛɛ no nʼasraafoɔ so ɔsahene, maa nʼakofoɔ ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ nyinaa de anigyeɛ penee so.
6 Rĩrĩa andũ mainũkaga, thuutha wa Daudi kũũraga Mũfilisti ũcio-rĩ, andũ-a-nja makiuma matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Isiraeli makĩinaga na makĩrũgarũgaga, nĩguo magatũnge Mũthamaki Saũlũ marĩ na tũhembe na inanda makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
Nanso, ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nkonimdifoɔ rekɔ fie, na Dawid akum Goliat no, asɛm bi siiɛ. Mmaa fifiri nkuro a ɛbemmɛn ɛkwan no ho no bɛtwee mmomone maa ɔhene Saulo. Wɔtoo nnwom, saa ano, bɔɔ akasaeɛ ne kyankyan.
7 Makĩrũgarũgaga, makĩina atĩrĩ: “Saũlũ nĩeyũragĩire andũ ngiri nyingĩ, nake Daudi akeyũragĩra andũ ngiri makũmi maingĩ.”
Wɔn dwom a wɔtoeɛ no nie: Saulo akum ne mpempem, na Dawid deɛ, ɔpedupedu!
8 Saũlũ nĩarakarire mũno; ikũngũiya rĩu rĩkĩmũiguithia ũiru mũno. Agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Marahe Daudi ũhootani wa kũũraga andũ ngiri makũmi maingĩ, no niĩ ngooraga o ngiri nini. Agĩtigĩtie ũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩkũ, tiga kwĩyoera ũthamaki?”
Yei maa Saulo bo fuu yie. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn? Wɔde ɔpedu ɔpedu abata Dawid din ho, na me deɛ, wɔde mpempem. Deɛ ɛdi hɔ ne sɛ, wɔbɛsi no ɔhene.”
9 Na kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩambĩrĩria kũiguĩra Daudi ũiru na kũmwĩkũũa.
Enti, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Saulo tuu nʼani sii Dawid so.
10 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai ũgĩũka na hinya mũno igũrũ rĩa Saũlũ. Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria ta mũgũrũki arĩ nyũmba yake thĩinĩ, Daudi aahũũraga kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka. Saũlũ aarĩ na itimũ guoko,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nokorɛm, Onyankopɔn honhommɔne sii Saulo so ma ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kasakasaa ɔhyew so sɛ ɔbɔdamfoɔ. Dawid hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ ne sankuo sɛdeɛ saa asɛm yi si a, ɔyɛ no. Nanso, Saulo a na ɔkura pea no,
11 nake akĩmũikĩria, eĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Ngũtheecithania Daudi na rũthingo.” Nowe Daudi akĩmweherera maita meerĩ akiuma harĩ we.
too pea no prɛko pɛ kyerɛɛ Dawid so sɛ anka ɔde rewɔ no aka no atare fasuo. Nanso, Dawid huri sii nkyɛn na ɔdwaneeɛ. Saa asɛm korɔ yi ara sii bio,
12 Saũlũ nĩetigĩrĩte Daudi, nĩ ũndũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Daudi, no nĩatiganĩirie Saũlũ.
ɛfiri sɛ na Saulo suro Dawid, na nʼani bere no nso sɛ, Awurade agya no akɔ Dawid afa.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩeheria Daudi harĩ we akĩmũtua mũnene wa thigari ngiri, nake Daudi agatongoragia mbũtũ icio kũu ita-inĩ ciao.
Ne korakora ne sɛ, Saulo pamoo no firi nʼanim na ɔma ɔyɛɛ ɔsafohene wɔ asraafoɔ apem pɛ so. Nanso, Dawid de adwenemuteɛ dii saa akodɔm no anim de wɔn kɔɔ sa.
14 Ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ekaga nĩwagaacagĩra, nĩ ũndũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake.
Biribiara a Dawid yɛeɛ no, ɔdii nkonim wɔ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ka ne ho.
15 Rĩrĩa Saũlũ onire ũrĩa Daudi aagacĩire, akĩmwĩtigĩra.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo hunuu yei no, ɛmaa ɔsuroo no mmorosoɔ.
16 No andũ othe a Isiraeli na Juda nĩmendete Daudi nĩ ũndũ nĩamatongoragia kũu ita-inĩ ciao.
Nanso, Israel nyinaa ne Yuda dɔɔ Dawid, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔdi nʼakodɔm anim kɔ sa a, ɔdi nkonim.
17 Saũlũ akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ Merabu, mũirĩtu wakwa ũrĩa mũkũrũ. Nĩwe ngũkũhe ũmũhikie; wee ndungatĩra na ũcamba, na ũhũũrane mbaara cia Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ Saũlũ eĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikũmũũkĩrĩra na guoko gwakwa. Afilisti nĩ meke ũguo arĩ o!”
Ɛda bi Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ mede me babaa panin Merab ma wo awadeɛ. Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan ne sɛ wobɛkyerɛ sɛ woyɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ a wobɛko Awurade ko no.” Na Saulo kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Merentene me nsa wɔ ne so. Mɛma wakɔko atia Filistifoɔ no na wɔakum no.”
18 No Daudi akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngĩrĩ ũ, nayo nyũmba yakwa kana mũhĩrĩga wa baba thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, ũkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩguo niĩ nduĩke mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki?”
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Me sɛɛ ne hwan a mɛyɛ ɔhene ase? Me fie, me mʼagya abusua a ɛwɔ Israel nka hwee?”
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa ihinda rĩakinyire rĩa Merabu, mwarĩ wa Saũlũ kũnengerwo Daudi-rĩ, akĩneanwo ahikio nĩ Adirieli wa Mehola.
Enti, berɛ no duruu sɛ wɔde Saulo babaa Merab ma Dawid awadeɛ no, wɔde no maa Adriel a ɔfiri Meholat awadeɛ.
20 Na rĩrĩ, Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ nĩendeete Daudi, na rĩrĩa meerire Saũlũ ũhoro ũcio, agĩkena.
Na Saulo babaa Mikal dɔ Dawid, enti ɛberɛ a Saulo teeɛ no, ɛyɛɛ no anigye.
21 Nake agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũhe we, nĩguo atuĩke mũtego harĩ we nĩguo guoko kwa Afilisti kũmũũkĩrĩre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũrĩ na mweke wa keerĩ wa gũtuĩka mũthoni wakwa.”
Saulo kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Akwannya foforɔ a ɛbɛma Filistifoɔ nsa aka no akum no nie.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Afei, manya ɛkwan foforɔ ama wo a wonam so bɛyɛ ɔhene ase.”
22 Ningĩ Saũlũ agĩatha ndungata ciake, agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Arĩriai Daudi keheri-inĩ, mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki nĩakenetio nĩwe na ndungata ciake ciothe nĩikwendete; rĩu gĩtuĩke mũthoni-we.’”
Na Saulo hyɛɛ ne nkoa sɛ, “Monka no kɔkoam nkyerɛ Dawid sɛ, ‘Hwɛ, ɔhene ani sɔ wo, na yɛn nyinaa pɛ wʼasɛm. Adɛn enti na wompɛ sɛ woyɛ ɔhene ase barima?’”
23 Nao magĩcookera ciugo icio kũrĩ Daudi. No Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũgwĩciiria nĩ ũndũ mũnini gũtuĩka mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki? Niĩ ndĩ mũndũ mũthĩĩni na ndiũĩkaine.”
Wɔtii saa nsɛm yi mu kyerɛɛ Dawid. Nanso, Dawid kaa sɛ, “Ohianiwaa a me fie nni bi, ɛhe na menya ɔhene babaa tirinsa?”
24 Rĩrĩa ndungata cia Saũlũ ciamwĩrire ũrĩa Daudi oiga-rĩ,
Nkoa no kɔkaa asɛm a Dawid ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ Saulo no,
25 Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩrai Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ndekwenda irĩhi rĩngĩ o rĩothe rĩa rũracio o tiga ikonde cia nyama igana cia Afilisti, nĩguo arĩhĩrio kũrĩ thũ ciake.’” Mũbango wa Saũlũ warĩ atĩ Daudi oragwo nĩ Afilisti.
Saulo kaa sɛ, “Monkɔka nkyerɛ Dawid sɛ, ‘Ɔhene nhwehwɛ tirinsa biara sɛ Filistifoɔ ɔha mmarima ano wedeɛ. Mʼatamfoɔ so aweretɔ nko ara ne adeɛ a mepɛ.’” Na Saulo adwene ara ne sɛ wɔbɛkum Dawid wɔ akono.
26 Rĩrĩa ndungata cierire Daudi maũndũ macio-rĩ, Daudi agĩkenio nĩ ũhoro wa gũtuĩka mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbere ya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩaheanĩtwo rĩtanathira-rĩ,
Dawid de anigyeɛ penee adebisa no so. Enti ansa na berɛ no bɛduru no,
27 Daudi na andũ ake makiumagara, makĩũraga Afilisti magana meerĩ. Akĩrehe ikonde ciao cia nyama na agĩcineana ciothe kũrĩ mũthamaki nĩgeetha atuĩke mũthoni-we. Saũlũ agĩcooka akĩmũnengera Mikali mũirĩtu wake nĩguo amũhikie.
Dawid ne ne mmarima kɔeɛ kɔkumm Filistifoɔ no ahanu. Ɔde wɔn mmarima ano wedeɛ brɛɛ ɔhene. Enti, Saulo de ne babaa Mikal maa Dawid awadeɛ.
28 Rĩrĩa Saũlũ aamenyire atĩ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Daudi, na atĩ mwarĩ Mikali nĩendeete Daudi rĩ,
Saulo hunuu sɛ Awurade ka Dawid ho, na ne babaa Mikal nso dɔ Dawid no,
29 Saũlũ agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmwĩtigĩra, nake agĩtũũra arĩ thũ yake matukũ make marĩa maatigaire.
Saulo kɔɔ so suroo no, na ne nna a aka no mu, Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ Saulo ɔtamfoɔ.
30 Anene a ita cia Afilisti magĩthiĩ o na mbere mbaara-inĩ, na o rĩrĩa rĩothe meekaga ũguo, Daudi agĩthiĩ na mbere kũgĩa na ũhootani gũkĩra anene acio angĩ a Saũlũ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩkĩmenyeka mũno.
Ɛberɛ biara a Filistifoɔ akodɔm to hyɛɛ Israel so no, Dawid dii nkonim sene Saulo asahene a wɔaka no. Yei maa Dawid gyee edin asase no so nyinaa.
