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.

And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-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, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.

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.

And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then 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.

Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.

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.

So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of 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 when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

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.

And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

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

And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on 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.

And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with 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.

Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

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.

And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

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.

Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.

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 of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

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 kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

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

And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.

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 went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong 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.

And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.

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

And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.

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 Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

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

So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

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

And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity 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.

Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.

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.

So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families 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.

And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.

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 in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

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.

And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take 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.

But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on 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 turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

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

And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
