1 Samuel 24
1 Mgbe Sọl sitere nʼịlụso ndị Filistia agha lọta, a gwara ya sị, “Devid nọ nʼọzara En-Gedi.”
And it was just when he returned Saul from after [the] Philistines and people told to him saying there! David [is] in [the] wilderness of En Gedi.
2 Sọl chịịrị puku ndị agha atọ a zụrụ nke ọma site nʼIzrel niile, pụọ ịchọ Devid na ndị ikom ya nʼetiti ọgba nkume, na nʼakụkụ ụzọ dị warawara nke Ewu Ọhịa.
And he took Saul three thousand man chosen from all Israel and he went to seek David and men his on [the] face of [the] rocks of the mountain goats.
3 Mgbe ọ bịaruru nso nʼọgba atụrụ nke dị nʼụzọ ahụ, otu ọgba nkume dị nʼebe ahụ, Sọl banyere nʼime ya, ịga mposi. Devid na ndị ikom ya nọ nʼime ime ọgba nkume ahụ.
And he came to [the] folds of the sheep on the way and [was] there a cave and he went Saul to cover feet his and David and men his in [the] innermost parts of the cave [were] sitting.
4 Ndị ikom Devid sịrị ya, “Ahaa ugbu a bụ oge gị! Taa bụ ụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu ya, mgbe ọ sịrị, ‘Aghaghị m inyefe gị onye iro gị nʼaka, ka i mee ya dịka o si masị gị.’” Ma Devid ji nwayọọ gaa nso ebe Sọl nọ bipụ ọnụ ọnụ uwe mwụda ya.
And they said [the] men of David to him here! the day which he said Yahweh to you here! I [am] about to give (enemy your *Q(K)*) in hand your and you will do to him just as it will be good in view your and he arose David and he cut off [the] skirt of the robe which [belonged] to Saul in secrecy.
5 Emesịa, obi Devid malitere ịma ya ikpe nʼihi na o bipụrụ ọnụ ọnụ uwe mwụda Sọl.
And it was after thus and it struck [the] heart of David him on that he had cut off [the] skirt which [belonged] to Saul.
6 Ọ gwara ndị ya na ha so okwu sị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwela na m ga-emeso nna m ukwu, onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ mmeso dị otu ahụ, maọbụ na m ga-eweli aka imegide ya. Nʼihi na onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ ka ọ bụ.”
And he said to men his far be it to me from Yahweh if I will do the thing this to lord my to [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh by stretching out hand my on him for [is] [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he.
7 Devid sitere nʼokwu ndị a o kwuru baara ndị so ya mba. O nyeghị ha ohere ibuso Sọl agha. Emesịa, Sọl hapụrụ ọgba nkume ahụ.
And he reprimanded David men his by the words and not he permitted them to rise up against Saul and Saul he arose from the cave and he went on the way.
8 Mgbe Sọl si nʼọgba nkume ahụ pụọ ịga nʼihu nʼije ya, Devid sitere nʼime ọgba nkume ahụ pụta, kpọọ Sọl oku sị ya, “Onyenwe m, eze!” Sọl tụgharịrị ma Devid kpọrọ isiala nye ya, daa nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala.
And he arose David after thus and he went out (from from the cave *Q(K)*) and he called out after Saul saying O lord my the king and he looked Saul behind him and he bowed low David face [the] ground towards and he bowed down.
9 Mgbe ahụ Devid gwara Sọl okwu sị, “Gịnị mere i ji na-aṅa ntị nʼokwu ndị mmadụ na-ekwu, ndị ahụ na-asị Devid na-achọ ụzọ ọ ga-esi merụọ gị ahụ?
And he said David to Saul why? do you listen to [the] words of someone saying there! David [is] seeking harm your.
10 Taa, i jirila anya gị hụ na ọ bụghị eziokwu. Onyenwe anyị nyere gị nʼaka m nʼime ọgba nkume ahụ ị banyere, ụfọdụ ndị mụ na ha so gwara m ka m gbuo gị, ma ahapụrụ m gị ndụ nʼihi na m sịrị, ‘Agaghị m eweli aka m megide nna m ukwu nʼihi na ọ bụ onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ.’
Here! the day this they have seen eyes your this: he gave you Yahweh - this day - in hand my in the cave and someone said to kill you and it looked with compassion on you and I said not I will stretch out hand my on lord my for [is] [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he.
11 Lee, nna m, lee iberibe uwe mwụda gị nʼaka m. Ebipụtara m ọnụ ọnụ uwe gị, ma egbughị m gị. Jiri nke a ghọta ma matakwa na ikpe nnupu isi na ajọ omume megide gị amaghị m. O nweghị ụzọ m si mejọọ gị, ma ị nọ na-achọsikwa m ike iwere ndụ m.
And O father my see also see [the] skirt of robe your in hand my for when cut off I [the] skirt of robe your and not I killed you know and see that there not in hand my [is] evil and transgression and not I have sinned to you and you [are] lying in wait for life my to take it.
12 Ka Onyenwe anyị kpebie nʼetiti mụ na gị, ka Onyenwe anyị bọọ ọbọ ihe ọjọọ niile i mere. Ma agaghị m emetụ gị aka.
May he judge Yahweh between me and between you and he will avenge me Yahweh from you and hand my not it will be on you.
13 Dịka ilu ndị mgbe ochie si dị, ‘Ihe ọjọọ na-esi nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ,’ ma agaghị m emetụ gị aka.
Just as it says [the] proverb of the ancient[s] from wicked [people] it comes forth wickedness and hand my not it will be on you.
14 “Ma onye kwanụ ka eze Izrel na-achọ ijide? Onye ka ọ na-atụfu oge ya ịchọgharị? Ọ bụ ozu nkịta? Ka ọ bụ akpị?
After whom? has he come out [the] king of Israel after whom? [are] you pursuing after a dog dead after a flea one.
15 Ka Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye ikpe nʼetiti mụ na gị, ya kpebiekwa okwu anyị. Ya leba okwu m anya kpepụta m, ya gosi na m bụ onye ikpe na-amaghị site nʼịnapụta m nʼaka gị.”
And he will become Yahweh a judge and he will judge between me and between you and may he see and may he conduct case my and may he vindicate me from hand your.
16 Mgbe Devid kwuchara okwu ndị a, Sọl zara sị ya, “Ọ bụ olu Devid nwa m dị nke ahụ?” Ọ malitekwara ịkwa akwa.
And it was - when finished David to speak the words these to Saul and he said Saul ¿ voice your [is] this O son my David and he lifted up Saul voice his and he wept.
17 Ọ sịrị Devid, “Ị bụ ezi mmadụ karịa m, nʼihi na i jirila ezi omume kwụghachi m ajọ omume m.
And he said to David [are] righteous you more than I for you you have dealt out to me good and I I have dealt out to you evil.
18 E, i gosila m oke obi ebere taa, nʼihi na mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyefere m nʼaka gị, ị gbughị m.
(And you *Q(K)*) you have told this day this: you have done with me good [and] this: he delivered up me Yahweh in hand your and not you killed me.
19 Ebee ka onye ahụ nọ nʼụwa niile, nke pụrụ ịhapụ onye iro ya mgbe ọ mara nʼọnya ya? Ka Onyenwe anyị kwụghachi gị ezi ihe nʼihi obi ebere i gosiri m taa.
And if he will find anyone enemy his and will he send away? him on a journey good and Yahweh may he reward you good in place of the day this [that] which you have done to me.
20 Ugbu a, amatala m na ị ghaghị ịbụ eze, ị ga-achịkwa alaeze Izrel.
And therefore here! I know that certainly you will reign and it will be established in hand your [the] kingdom of Israel.
21 Biko, ṅụọra m iyi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị na mgbe oge ahụ ruru, na ị gaghị egbu ụmụ m, maọbụ hichapụ aha m site nʼezinaụlọ nna m.”
And therefore swear an oath! to me by Yahweh if you will cut off offspring my after me and if you will destroy name my from [the] house of father my.
22 Devid ṅụụrụ Sọl iyi. Emesịa, Sọl laghachiri nʼụlọ ya, ma Devid na ndị ikom ya laghachiri nʼọgba nkume ha.
And he swore an oath David to Saul and he went Saul to house his and David and men his they went up to the stronghold.
