1 Samue 23

1 Hagi Devitina eme asami'za, Keila kumate vahera Filistia vahe'mo'za ha' eme huzmante'za witima neharazafima eri atru hu'naza witizamia eri vagare'naze.

Now it was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and looting the threshing floors.”

2 Hagi Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Knare vu'na Filistia vahera hara ome huzmantegahuo, higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Devitina asami'no, Amne vunka hara ome huzmantenka Keila vahera zamagu vazigahane.

So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”

3 Hianagi Deviti'enema mani'naza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Antahio, tagra Judama manineta Filistia vahekura korora nehunankita, tagra Keila kumatera vuta rama'a Filistia vahera hara ome huozamantegosune.

But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”

4 Hagi Deviti'a mago'ene Ra Anumzamofona antahigegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Otinka Keila kumate uraminka Filistia vahera hara ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Nagra Filistia vahera kazampi zamavarentesugenka hara ome huzmagateregahane.

Once again, David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him: “Go at once to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

5 Higeno Deviti'ene sondia vahe'anena Keila urami'za Filistia vahera ome nezamahe'za mika afuzamia nevre'za Keila vahera zamagu'vazi'za zamavare'naze.

Then David and his men went to Keilah, fought against the Philistines, and carried off their livestock, striking them with a mighty blow. So David saved the people of Keilah.

6 Hagi pristi ne' Ahimeleki nemofo Abiata'a freno Devitintegama Keila kumategama nevuno'a, pristi vahe'mo'zama antanine'za Anumzamofo avesi'zama hake'za eri fore'ma nehaza kukena ifoti erineno, Ra Anumzamo'ma nanekema asami'nigu vu'ne.

(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)

7 Hagi Deviti'ma Keila kumate mani'nea nanekema mago'a vahe'mo'za Solima eme asamizageno'a Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a nazampi avrente. Na'ankure Deviti'a agra'a avreno kinafi ufreankna huno hanave keginamo kagi'nea ra kumapina ufre'ne.

When Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has trapped himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”

8 Anage higeno Soli'a maka Sondia vahezaga'a zamazeri atru huno nezamavareno, Devitine sondia vahe'ane avazagigagino zamahenaku Keila kumate urami'ne.

Then Saul summoned all his troops to go to war at Keilah and besiege David and his men.

9 Hagi Deviti'ma antahiama Soli'ma ha'ma eme hunte'naku'ma kema retro'ma nehigeno'a, agra pristi ne' Abiatana asamino, 12fu'a havema me'nenege'za pristi vahe'mo'zama nentaniza kukena ifotia omerinka amare eno.

When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”

10 Hagi Deviti'a anage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka kagri eri'za vahe'mo'na antahuana nagrama emani'noa zanku huno Soli'a Keila kumara eme erihaviza hu'naku ke retro nehia naneke nentahue.

And David said, “O LORD, God of Israel, Your servant has heard that Saul intends to come to Keilah and destroy the city on my account.

11 Hagi Keila kumate vahe'mo'za nagrira navre'za Soli ome amigahazafi? Hagi tamage huno Soli'a eri'za nekamo'na antahua kante anteno egahifi? Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki eri'za nekamo'na nasamio. Higeno anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, agra eramigahie.

Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant.” “He will,” said the LORD.

12 Hagi mago'ane Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Keila vahe'mo'za nagri'ene eri'za vahe'nianena tavre'za Soli azampina ome antegahazafi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ozo e'inara hugahaze.

So David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?” “They will,” said the LORD.

13 Hagi Deviti'ene mika 600'a sondia vahe'anena Keilatira atre'za kumate manitere hu'za vu'naze. Hagi Soli'ma antahiama Deviti'a Keilatira atreno ko fre'ne ke'ma nentahino'a anantega ovu'ne.

Then David and his men, about six hundred strong, set out and departed from Keilah, moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he declined to go forth.

14 Hagi Deviti'a Sifi kaziga me'nea ka'ma kopi ome frakino mani'ne. E'i ana kaziga umaninegeno Soli'a Devitina ahe'naku hakeno mika kna vano hu'neanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a atregeno Soli'a Devitina aze'ori'ne.

And David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God would not deliver David into his hand.

15 Hagi mago zupa Soli'a Horasi kaziga Sifi hagege kokampi frakino mani'nerega Soli'a ahe'naku nevia nanekea Deviti'a antahi'ne.

While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.

16 Hagi Soli nemofo Jonatani'a Horesi kaziga vuno Devitina ome negeno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma hanavetino amentintima hu nanekea ome asamino azeri hanavenetino anage hu'ne,

And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God,

17 Kagra nenfankura korora osuo, na'ankure kagrira hakeno eriforera osugahie. Hagi kagra Israeli vahe kini mani'nanke'na, nagra ehenka hugantegahue. Hagi ama anazana nenfa'a ko keno antahino hu'ne.

saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”

18 Hagi ana huvempa kema Ra Anumzamofo avufima hutekea Deviti'a Horesi mani'geno, Jonatani'a noma'arega ete vu'ne.

So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.

19 Hagi mago'a Sifi kumate vahe'mo'za Solina ome asami'za, Hakila agonafi Horesi kumamofo sauti kaziga Jesimoni Deviti'a frakino mani'ne hu'za hu'naze.

Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?

20 Hagi Kini ne'moka kagrama hana kante antenka eramigeta kazampina tagra'a avrentegahune.

Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”

21 Hagi Soli'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Ra Anumzamo asomu huramantesie, na'ankure tamagra tamasunku hunantaze.

“May you be blessed by the LORD,” replied Saul, “for you have had compassion on me.

22 Hagi vuta mago'ene ome haketa e'ire mani'ne huta keho. Na'ankure nagra antahi'noe, agra ruzahu ne'kino reravatga hugahie.

Please go and prepare further. Investigate and watch carefully where he goes and who has seen him there, for I am told that he is extremely cunning.

23 Hagi mika framakino nemania kuma'a haketa erifore huso'e huteta, ame huta keaga atrenantenke'na eramineno. Hagi Juda kaziga inama'are manigahie nagra ome hake'na azerigahue.

Observe and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the clans of Judah.”

24 Anage huzmantege'za zamagra Solina vugota hunte'za Sifi kumatega vu'naze. Hagi ana'ma nehazage'za Deviti naga'mo'za anampintira atre'za Jesimoni kumara sauti kaziga me'nege'za Maoni hagege kokampi Araba agupofi vu'naze.

So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon,

25 Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahe'amo'za agafa hu'za Devitinku hake'naze. Hagi anama agriku'ma hakaza nanekea mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asmizageno, agra mago'ene vuno havege hu'nea kokampi Maoni ufrakino mani'ne. Hagi ana'ma hiazamofo nanekema Soli'ma nentahino'a otreno, avaririno anantega vu'ne.

and Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard of this, he pursued David there.

26 Hagi Soli'a mago agonamofona mago kazigama hakeno eneviana, Deviti'ene naga'amo'za ana agonamofona mago kaziga vu'naze. Hianagi Soli'a erava'o huno Devitina azeri'za hu'ne.

Saul was proceeding along one side of the mountain, and David and his men along the other side. Even though David was hurrying to get away, Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.

27 Hagi ana'ma hu'zama nevazageno'a kema eri'za vu vahe'mo'za Solina eme asami'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za ha eme hurante'za ku'ma eme ankanirazanki ame hunka eno hu'za hu'naze.

Then a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly, for the Philistines have raided the land!”

28 Hagi Soli'ma Devitima avaririno nevia zana ome netreno, Filistia vahe ha' ome huzmante'naku vu'ne. E'ina agafare ana mopagura Sela Hamalekotie hu'naze. (Sela Hamalekotie hu'nazana Hibru kefina, atreno fre'nea have hu'ne).

So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why that place is called Sela-hammahlekoth.

29 Anama huno Soli'a neviana, Deviti'ene naga'amo'za atre'za Engedi have kampi umani'naze.

And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En-gedi.
