1 Samuel 26
1 Ndị Zif jekwuru Sọl na Gibea gwa ya na Devid na-ezo onwe ya nʼugwu Hakila nke chere ihu nʼọzara.
And they went the Ziphites to Saul Gibeah towards saying ¿ not [is] David hiding himself on [the] hill of Hakilah on [the] face of Jeshimon.
2 Nʼihi ya, Sọl biliri chịrị puku ndị agha atọ o leziri anya họpụta nʼetiti ndị agha Izrel, duru ha gaa nʼọzara Zif ịchọ Devid.
And he arose Saul and he went down to [the] wilderness of Ziph and [were] with him three thousand man [the] chosen [men] of Israel to seek David in [the] wilderness of Ziph.
3 Sọl mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ ugwu nta Hakila na ncherita ihu Jeshimọn nke nọ nʼokporoụzọ. Ma ka Devid nʼonwe ya nọ nʼime ọzara, ọ hụrụ na Sọl chụụrụ ya bata nʼime ọzara,
And he encamped Saul on [the] hill of Hakilah which [was] on [the] face of Jeshimon on the way and David [was] dwelling in the wilderness and he saw that he had come Saul after him the wilderness towards.
4 Devid zipụrụ ndị nledo, matakwa na Sọl bịara nʼezie.
And he sent David spies and he knew that he had come Saul to a certain [thing].
5 Emesịa, Devid pụrụ jeruo ebe Sọl mara ụlọ ikwu ya. Ọ hụrụ ebe Sọl na Abna nwa Nea, onyeisi agha dinara ala. Sọl dina nʼime ogige ụlọ ikwu ahụ, ndị agha ya dinakwara gburugburu ya.
And he arose David and he went to the place where he had encamped there Saul and he saw David the place where he lay there Saul and Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of army his and Saul [was] lying in the camp and the people [was] encamped (around him. *Q(K)*)
6 Devid sịrị Ahimelek onye Het, na Abishai, nwa Zeruaya onye bụ nwanne Joab, “Onye ga-eso m gaa nʼogige ebe Sọl na ndị agha ya mara ụlọ ikwu ha?” Abishai zara sị, “Aga m eso gị gaa.”
And he answered David and he said - to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah [the] brother of Joab saying who? will he go down with me to Saul into the camp and he said Abishai I I will go down with you.
7 Ya mere, nʼabalị, Devid na Abishai jiri nwayọọ jeruo ebe ndị agha Sọl mara ụlọ ikwu ha. Ha hụrụ Sọl ebe o dinara ala na-arahụ ụra. Ùbe ya ka ọ manyekwara nʼala nʼakụkụ ebe isi ya dị. Abna, na ndị agha ndị ọzọ dina gburugburu Sọl na-arahụ ụra.
And he went David and Abishai - to the people night and there! Saul [was] lying sleeping in the camp and spear his [was] thrust in the ground ([the] place of head his *Q(K)*) and Abner and the people [were] lying (around him. *Q(K)*)
8 Abishai sịrị Devid, “Nʼezie, Chineke enyefeela gị onye iro gị nʼaka taa. Ugbu a, kwere ka m gaa were ùbe magide ya nʼala otu ugboro; agaghị m atụ ya ugboro abụọ.”
And he said Abishai to David he has delivered up God this day enemy your in hand your and therefore let me strike him please with the spear and in the ground a time one and not I will repeat to him.
9 Ma Devid sịrị Abishai, “Mba egbula ya. Onye ga-eseti aka ya megide onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ, ghara ị bụ onye ikpe na-amaghị?”
And he said David to Abishai may not you destroy him for who? has he stretched out hand his on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and will he be free from guilt?
10 Ọ sịrị, “Nʼezie dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya ga-etida ya, maọbụ oge ya ga-eru mgbe ọ ga-anwụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ ọ gaa agha, ọ nwụfuo.
And he said David [by] [the] life of Yahweh that except Yahweh he will strike him or day his it will come and he will die or in battle he will go down and he will be carried away.
11 Ma Onyenwe anyị ekwela ka m setịpụ aka megide onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ. Ugbu a, weta ùbe na ihe ịṅụ mmiri nke dị nʼakụkụ isi ya, ka anyị si nʼebe a pụọ.”
Far be it to me from Yahweh from stretching out hand my on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and now take please the spear which ([is the] place of head his *Q(K)*) and [the] jug of water and let us go for ourselves.
12 Devid weere ùbe ya na ite mmiri dị nʼakụkụ isi Sọl, ha sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye hụrụ ha. Ọ dịkwaghị onye tetara, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mere ka ha daba nʼoke ụra.
And he took David the spear and [the] jug of water [at the] head of Saul and they went for themselves and there not [was one who] saw and there not [was one who] knew and there not [was one who] awoke for all of them [were] sleeping for deep sleep of Yahweh it had fallen on them.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Devid pụrụ gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ, guzo onwe ya nʼelu ugwu ebe dị anya, ebe mbara dị nʼetiti ya na ha.
And he passed over David the other side and he stood on [the] top of the hill from a distance great place [was] between them.
14 Devid kpọrọ Abna nwa Nea na ndị agha oku sị, “Abna, za m oku!” Abna jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ka ị bụ i ji si otu a na-eti mkpu ịkpọte eze?”
And he called out David to the people and to Abner [the] son of Ner saying ¿ not will you answer O Abner and he answered Abner and he said who? [are] you [who] you have called out to the king.
15 Devid sịrị, “Nʼezie, ọ bụghị nwoke ka ị bụ? Onye dịkwa ka gị nʼIzrel niile? Gịnị mere i ji hapụ ichezi onyenwe gị eze nke ọma? Otu onye bịara igbu onyenwe gị, bụ eze.
And he said David to Abner ¿ not a man [are] you and who? [is] like you in Israel and why? not did you guard master your the king if he came one of the people to destroy the king master your.
16 Ihe a i mere adịghị mma. Nʼeziokwu, dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, gị na ndị ikom gị kwesiri ọnwụ, nʼihi na gị na ndị gị echebeghị onyenwe unu, bụ onye Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ. Ebee ka ùbe eze, na ihe mmiri ọṅụṅụ ya, nke dị nʼakụkụ isi ya dị?”
Not [is] good the thing this which you have done [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [are] sons of death you who not you watched over master your over [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and now - see where? [is] [the] spear of the king and [the] jug of water which ([was the] place of head his. *Q(K)*)
17 Mgbe ahụ, Sọl matara na ọ bụ olu Devid, ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ gị nwa m, Devid?” Devid zara sị ya, “E, ọ bụ olu m, onyenwe m, eze.”
And he recognized Saul [the] voice of David and he said ¿ voice your [is] this O son my David and he said David voice my O lord my the king.
18 Ọ sịkwa, “Nʼihi gịnị ka onyenwe m ji na-achụgharị ohu ya? Gịnị ka m mere? Gịnịkwa bụ ihe ọjọọ ị chọtara nʼaka m?
And he said why? this [is] lord my pursuing after servant his for what? have I done and what? [is] in hand my evil.
19 Ugbu a ka onyenwe m eze gee ntị nʼokwu ohu ya: Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị kpaliri gị imegide m, mgbe ahụ arịrịọ m bụ ka Onyenwe anyị nara onyinye ịnata ihuọma. Otu ọ dị, a si na ọ bụ ndị mmadụ na-akpali gị imegide m, ka ndị dị otu a bụrụ ndị a bụrụ ọnụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na ha esitela nʼoke m nwere nʼihe nketa Onyenwe anyị chụpụ m, sị m, ‘Gaa fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe.’
And now let him hear please lord my the king [the] words of servant his if Yahweh he has incited you against me may he smell an offering and if - [the] sons of humankind [be] cursed they before Yahweh for they have driven out me this day from having a share in [the] inheritance of Yahweh saying go serve gods other.
20 Ugbu a, ekwela ka ọbara m bụrụ ihe a wufuru nʼala dị anya, na-abụghị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Eze Izrel apụtala ịchọ akpị dịka m, otu dinta si achọgharị ọkwa nʼelu ugwu.”
And now may not it fall blood my [the] ground towards from before [the] presence of Yahweh for he has come out [the] king of Israel to seek a flea one just as someone pursues the partridge in the mountains.
21 Mgbe ahụ, Sọl zara sị, “Emehiela m. Lọghachi nʼụlọ nwa m Devid. Nʼihi na ị gụrụ ndụ m taa dịka ihe dị oke ọnụahịa. Agaghị m emejọ gị ọzọ. Nʼezie, a kpaala m agwa dịka onye nzuzu, meekwa ihe nke ukwuu na-amaghị ama.”
And he said Saul I have sinned return O son my David for not I will do harm to you again because that it was precious life my in view your the day this here! I have behaved foolishly and I have gone astray greatly very.
22 Devid zara ya sị, “Lee ùbe eze, Zie otu nʼime ndị ikom gị ka ọ bịa were ya.
And he answered David and he said here! ([the] spear of *Q(K)*) the king and let him pass over one from the young men and let him take it.
23 Onyenwe anyị na-akwụghachi nwoke ọbụla ezi omume ya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya. Onyenwe anyị nyere gị nʼaka m taa ma ajụla m igbu onye ya o tere mmanụ.
And Yahweh he will return to everyone righteousness his and faithfulness his that he gave you Yahweh - this day in a hand and not I was willing to stretch out hand my on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.
24 Ugbu a, ka Onyenwe anyị zọpụta ndụ m, ọ bụladị dịka m sị zọpụta ndụ nke gị taa. Ka ọ napụtakwa m site na mkpagbu m niile.”
And here! just as it was great life your the day this in view my so may it be great life my in [the] eyes of Yahweh and may he deliver me from every trouble.
25 Sọl sịrị Devid, “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka ị bụ nwa m, Devid. Ị ga-eme oke ihe, bụrụkwa onye na-emeri nʼagha.” Devid sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Sọl laghachikwara nʼụlọ ya.
And he said Saul to David [be] blessed you O son my David both certainly you will do as well as certainly you will prevail and he went David to way his and Saul he returned to place his.
