1 Samwiri 26
1 Awo ab’e Zifu ne bagenda eri Sawulo e Gibea ne bamugamba nti, “Olowooza nga Dawudi teyeekwese ku lusozi Kakira, ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olwolekera eddungu Yesimoni?”
And Zipheis camen to Saul in to Gabaa, and seiden, Lo! Dauid is hidde in the hille of Achille, which is `euene ayens the wildirnesse.
2 Awo Sawulo n’abasajja abolondemu enkumi ssatu aba Isirayiri, ne bagolokoka ne baserengeta mu ddungu ery’e Zifu, okunoonya Dawudi.
And Saul roos, and yede doun in to deseert of Ziph, and with hym thre thousynde of men of the chosun of Israel, that he schulde seke Dauid in the desert of Ziph.
3 Sawulo n’asiisira ku mabbali g’ekkubo ku lusozi Kakira okwolekera eddungu, naye Dawudi n’asigala mu ddungu. Awo bwe yalaba Sawulo ng’amugoberedde mu ddungu,
And Saul settide tentis in Gabaa of Achille, that was euen ayens the wildirnesse in the weie. Sotheli Dauid dwellide in deseert. Forsothe Dauid siy that Saul hadde come aftir hym in to deseert;
4 n’atuma abakessi okukakasiza ddala obanga Sawulo yali atuuse.
and Dauid sente aspieris, and lernede moost certeynli, that Saul hadde come thidur.
5 Dawudi n’agolokoka n’agenda mu kifo Sawulo we yali asiisidde. N’alaba Sawulo ne Abuneeri mutabani wa Neeri omuduumizi w’eggye, we baali beebase. Sawulo yali yeebase wakati mu lusiisira, ng’eggye limwetoolodde.
And Dauid roos priueli, and cam to the place where Saul was. And whanne Dauid hadde seyn the place, wher ynne Saul slepte, and Abner, the sone of Ner, the prince of his chyualrye, and Saul slepynge in the tente, and the tother comyn puple bi his cumpas, Dauid seide to Achymelech,
6 Awo Dawudi n’abuuza Akimereki Omukiiti ne Abisaayi muganda wa Yowaabu, mutabani wa Zeruyiya nti, “Ani anaaserengeta nange, tugende mu lusiisira lwa Sawulo?” Abisaayi n’addamu nti, “Nze n’aserengeta naawe.”
Ethey, and to Abisai, sone of Saruye, the brother of Joab, `and seide, Who schal go doun with me to Saul in to `the castels? And Abisai seide, Y schal go doun with thee.
7 Awo Dawudi ne Abisaayi ne bagenda mu lusiisira ekiro, ne basanga Sawulo nga yeebase wakati mu lusiisira, effumu lye nga lisimbiddwa mu ttaka emitwetwe we. Abuneeri n’abaserikale baali beebase okumwetooloola.
Therfor Dauid and Abisai camen to the puple in the nyyt, and thei founden Saul lyggynge and slepynge in `the tente, and a spere sette faste in the erthe at his heed; `forsothe thei founden Abner and the puple slepynge in his cumpas.
8 Abisaayi n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Leero, Katonda awaddeyo omulabe wo mu mukono gwo. Kale nno mpa olukusa mmufumitire wansi awo n’effumu. Siimufumite gwakubiri.”
And Abisay seide to Dauid, God hath closid to dai thin enemy in to thin hondis; now therfor Y schal peerse hym with a spere onys in the erthe, and `no nede schal be the secounde tyme.
9 Naye Dawudi n’addamu Abisaayi nti, “Tomuzikiriza, kubanga ani ayinza okugolola omukono gwe okutta oyo Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta, n’ataba na musango?
And Dauid seide to Abysai, Sle thou not hym, for who schal holde forth his hond into the crist of the Lord, and schal be innocent?
10 Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, Mukama yennyini yali mukuba. Luliba lumu, olunaku lwe lulituuka n’afa, oba aligenda mu lutalo n’azikiririra eyo.
And Dauid seide, The Lord lyueth, for no but the Lord smyte hym, ether his dai come that he die, ether he go doun in to batel and perische;
11 Kikafuuwe nze okugolola omukono gwange okutta oyo Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta. Naye ddira effumu n’eccupa ey’amazzi ebiri emitwetwe we obisitule tugende.”
the Lord be merciful to me, that Y holde not forth myn hond in to the crist of the Lord; now therfor take thou the spere, which is at his heed, and `take thou the cuppe of watir, and go we awei.
12 Awo Dawudi n’aggyawo effumu n’eccupa ey’amazzi ebyali emitwetwe wa Sawulo ne bagenda. Tewali yabalaba newaakubadde okukitegeera, wadde okusisimuka, kubanga bonna Mukama yali abeebasiza otulo tungi nnyo.
Dauid took the spere, and the cuppe of watir, that was at the heed of Saul, and thei yeden forth, and no man was that siy, and vndirstood, and wakide, but alle men slepten; for the sleep of the Lord `hadde feld on hem.
13 N’oluvannyuma Dawudi n’asomoka n’agenda emitala, n’ayimirira walako ku ntikko ey’olusozi, nga wakati waabwe waliwo ekibangirizi kinene.
And whanne Dauid hadde passid euene ayens, and hadde stonde on the cop of the hil afer, and a greet space was bitwixe hem,
14 N’akoowoola eggye ne Abuneeri mutabani wa Neeri ng’ayogera nti, “Tonziremu gwe Abuneeri?” Abuneeri n’addamu nti, “Ggwe ani alangiriza kabaka?”
Dauid criede to the puple, and to Abner, the sone of Ner, and seide, Abner, whether thou schalt not answere? And Abner answeride, and seide, Who art thou, that criest, and disesist the kyng?
15 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Abuneeri nti, “Oli musajja muzira, si bwe kiri? Ani akwenkana mu Isirayiri? Kiki ekyakulobedde okukuuma obulungi mukama wo kabaka? Kubanga waabaddewo omuntu eyazze okuzikiriza mukama wo kabaka.
And Dauith seide to Abner, Whether thou art not a man, and what other man is lijk thee in Israel? whi therfor `kepist thou not thi lord the kyng? `For o man of the cumpanye entride, that he schulde sle thi lord the kyng;
16 Ekyo kye wakoze si kirungi. Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, ggwe n’abasajja bo musaana kufa, olw’obulagajjavu bwammwe, kubanga temwakuumye mukama wammwe, Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta. Mutunule mwetegereze; effumu lya kabaka n’eccupa ey’amazzi ebyabadde emitwetwe wa kabaka biri ludda wa?”
this that thou hast doon, is not good; the Lord lyueth, for ye ben sones of deeth, that kepten not youre lord, the crist of the Lord. Now therfor se thou, where is the spere of the kyng, and where is the cuppe of watir, that weren at his heed.
17 Sawulo n’ategeera nga ddoboozi lya Dawudi, n’abuuza nti, “Ye ggwe mutabani wange Dawudi?” Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Ye nze mukama wange kabaka.”
Forsothe Saul knew the vois of Dauid, and seide, Whether this vois is thin, my sone Dauid? And Dauid seide, My lord the kyng, it is my vois.
18 Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki oyigganya omuweereza wo? Nakola ki, era musango ki gwe nazza?
And Dauid seide, For what cause pursueth my lord his seruaunt? What haue Y do, ether what yuel is in myn hond? Now therfor,
19 Kaakano nno, mukama wange kabaka wuliriza ebigambo by’omuweereza wo. Obanga Mukama ye yakusindise okunjigganya, akkirize ekiweebwayo. Naye bwe baba nga baana ba bantu, bakolimirwe mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga leero bangobye nneme okugabana mu busika bwa Mukama nga bagamba nti, ‘Genda oweereze bakatonda abalala.’
my lord the kyng, Y preye, here the wordis of thi seruaunt; if the Lord stirith thee ayens me, the sacrifice be smellid; forsothe if sones of men stiren thee, thei ben cursid in the siyt of the Lord, whiche han cast me out `to dai, that Y dwelle not in the erytage of the Lord, and seien, Go thou, serue thou alien goddis.
20 Kale nno omusaayi gwange guleme okuyiyibwa wansi ewala Mukama gy’atabeera. Kabaka wa Isirayiri avuddeyo okunoonya enkukunyi, ng’omuntu bwe yandiyizze enkwale mu nsozi.”
And now my blood be not sched out in the erthe bifor the Lord; for the kyng of Israel yede out, that he seke a quike fle, as a partrich is pursuede in hillis.
21 Awo Sawulo n’ayogera nti, “Nnyonoonye. Komawo mutabani wange Dawudi. Sigenda kuddamu kugezaako kukukolako kabi n’akamu, kubanga leero ondaze, obulamu bwange bwe buli obw’omuwendo mu maaso go. Laba neeyisizza ng’omusirusiru, era nnyonoonye ekiyitiridde.”
And Saul seide, Y synnede; turne ayen, my sone Dauid, for Y schal no more do yuel to thee, for my lijf was precious to day in thin iyen; for it semeth, that Y dide folili, and Y vnknew ful many thingis.
22 Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Effumu lya kabaka liirino. Tuma omu ku bavubuka bo ajje aliddukire.
And Dauid answeride and seide, Lo! the spere of the kyng, oon of the `children of the kyng passe, and take it; forsothe the Lord schal yelde to ech man bi his riytfulnesse and feith;
23 Mukama asasula buli muntu ng’obutuukirivu bwe n’obwesigwa bwe, bwe biri. Mukama yakuwaddeyo mu mukono gwange leero, naye ne sigolola mukono gwange ku oyo Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta.
for the Lord bitook thee to dai in to myn hond, and Y nolde holde forth myn hond in to the crist of the Lord;
24 Nga bwe mbaliridde obulamu bwo okuba obw’omuwendo leero, kale obulamu bwange bubeere bwa muwendo mu maaso ga Mukama, era andokole mu bizibu byonna.”
and as thi lijf is magnified to dai in myn iyen, so my lijf be magnyfied in the iyen of the Lord, and delyuere he me fro al angwisch.
25 Awo Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Oweebwe omukisa mutabani wange Dawudi. Olikola ebintu ebikulu bingi era oliraba omukisa mu byo.” Awo Dawudi n’agenda amakubo ge, ne Sawulo ne yeddirayo ewuwe.
Therfor Saul seide to Dauid, Blessid be thou, my sone Dauid; and sotheli thou doynge schalt do, and thou myyti schalt be myyti. Therfor Dauid yede in to his weie, and Saul turnede ayen in to his place.
