1 Saamuʼeel 19
1 Saaʼol ilma isaa Yoonaataanii fi tajaajiltoota hunda akka isaan Daawitin ajjeesan ajaje. Yoonaataan garuu akka malee Daawitin jaallata ture;
And Saul speaks to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, to put David to death,
2 akkana jedhees isa akeekkachiise; “Saaʼol abbaan koo karaa ittiin si ajjeesu barbaadachaa jira. Bori ganama of eeggadhu; dhokadhuutii achuma turi.
and Jonathan son of Saul delighted in David exceedingly, and Jonathan declares [it] to David, saying, “My father Saul is seeking to put you to death, and now, please take heed in the morning, and you have abided in a secret place and been hidden,
3 Anis gad baʼee abbaa koo wajjin dirree ati jirtu irra nan dhaabadha. Waaʼee kees isa wajjin haasaʼee waan inni jedhe sitti hima.”
and I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where you [are], and I speak of you to my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared [it] to you.”
4 Yoonaataanis akkana jedhee abbaa isaa Saaʼolitti waaʼee Daawit waan gaarii dubbate; “Mootichi tajaajilaa isaa Daawititti yakka hin hojjetin; inni homaa si hin goone; wanni inni hojjetes faayidaa guddaa siif argamsiiseera.
And Jonathan speaks good of David to his father Saul and says to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works [are] very good for you;
5 Daawit lubbuu ofii isaatiif yaaduu dhiisee Filisxeemicha ajjeese. Waaqayyos Israaʼel hundaaf moʼannaa guddaa kenne; atis waan kana argitee gammaddeerta. Yoos ati maaliif sababii malee isa ajjeesuudhaan nama yakka hin qabne kan akka Daawititti yakka hojjetta ree?”
indeed, he puts his life in his hand, and strikes the Philistine, and YHWH works a great salvation for all Israel; you have seen, and rejoice, and why do you sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nothing?”
6 Saaʼolis Yoonaataanin dhaggeeffatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Daawit hin ajjeefamu” jedhee kakate.
And Saul listens to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swears, “YHWH lives—he does not die.”
7 Kanaafuu Yoonaataan Daawitin waamee waan kana hunda itti hime. Saaʼolittis isa fide; Daawitis akkuma duriitti Saaʼol dura dhaabate.
And Jonathan calls for David, and Jonathan declares all these words to him, and Jonathan brings in David to Saul, and he is before him as before.
8 Ammas lolli ni kaʼe; Daawitis dhaqee Filisxeemota lole. Innis humna guddaan isaan dhaʼe; isaanis isa duraa baqatan.
And there adds to be war, and David goes out and fights against the Philistines, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and they flee from his face.
9 Garuu utuu Saaʼol eeboo harkatti qabatee mana isaa taaʼuu hafuuri hamaan Waaqayyo biraa isatti dhufe. Utuu Daawit baganaa taphachaa jiruu,
And a spirit of sadness [from] YHWH is to Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin [is] in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,
10 Saaʼol eeboodhaan Daawitin keenyanitti hodhuu yaale; Daawit garuu duraa miliqe; Saaʼolis eeboo sana keenyanitti fixe. Daawitis halkan sana baqatee jalaa baʼe.
and Saul seeks to strike with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he frees himself from the presence of Saul, and he strikes the javelin through the wall; and David has fled and escapes during that night.
11 Saaʼol akka isaan eeganii ganamaan isa ajjeesaniif mana Daawititti namoota erge. Miikaal niitiin Daawit garuu, “Ati yoo halkan kana baqachuu baatte bori ni ajjeefamta” jettee akeekkachiifte.
And Saul sends messengers to the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and his wife Michal declares [it] to David, saying, “If you are not delivering your life tonight—tomorrow you are put to death.”
12 Kanaafuu Miikaal foddaa keessaan Daawitin gad buufte; innis baqatee miliqe.
And Michal causes David to go down through the window, and he goes on, and flees, and escapes;
13 Ergasii Miikaal fakkii Waaqa tolfamaa tokko fuutee wayyaa itti uffiftee siree irra ciibsite; boraatii rifeensa reʼees mataa jala keesseef.
and Michal takes the teraphim, and lays [it] on the bed, and she has put the mattress of goats’ [hair for] his pillows, and covers [it] with a garment.
14 Yeroo Saaʼol Daawitin qabsiisuuf namoota ergetti Miikaal, “Inni dhukkubsateera” jette.
And Saul sends messengers to take David, and she says, “He [is] sick.”
15 Saaʼol akka isaan Daawitin ilaalaniif deebisee namoota ergee, “Akka ani isa ajjeesuuf siree isaatiin naa fidaa” isaaniin jedhe.
And Saul sends the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up in the bed to me in order to put him to death.”
16 Yeroo namoonni sun ol seenanitti fakkiin Waaqa tolfamaa sun siree irra ciibsamee, rifeensi reʼees mataa jala kaaʼameefii argame.
And the messengers come in, and behold, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats’ [hair for] his pillows.
17 Saaʼolis Miikaaliin, “Ati maaliif akka diinni koo miliquuf akkas na gowwoomsite?” jedhe. Miikaalis, “Isatu, ‘Jalaa na miliqsi; yoo kanaa achii ani sin ajjeesaa’ naan jedhe” jetteen.
And Saul says to Michal, “Why have you thus deceived me—that you send my enemy away, and he escapes?” And Michal says to Saul, “He said to me, Send me away. Why do I put you to death?”
18 Daawitis yeroo baqatee miliqetti Saamuʼeel bira Raamaa dhaqee waan Saaʼol isa godhe hunda itti hime. Ergasiis innii fi Saamuʼeel gara Naayot dhaqanii achuma turan.
And David has fled, and escapes, and comes to Samuel at Ramath, and declares to him all that Saul has done to him, and he goes, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.
19 Saaʼolittis, “Kunoo Daawit Naayot ishee Raamaa keessatti argamtu keessa jira” jedhanii himan.
And it is declared to Saul, saying, “Behold, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.”
20 Kanaafuu inni akka isa qabaniif namoota itti erge. Isaan garuu yeroo garee raajota raajii dubbatanii kan Saamuʼeel hoogganaa isaanii taʼee achi dhaabachaa ture tokko arganitti Hafuurri Waaqaa namoota Saaʼol irra buʼee isaanis akkasuma raajii dubbatan.
And Saul sends messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul’s messengers, and they prophesy—they also.
21 Saaʼol yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti namoota biraa erge; isaanis akkasuma raajii dubbatan. Saaʼol ammas yeroo sadaffaaf namoota erge; isaanis akkasuma raajii dubbatan.
And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sends other messengers, and they prophesy—they also; and Saul adds and sends messengers a third time, and they prophesy—they also.
22 Dhuma irratti inni ofuma isaatii kaʼee Raamaa dhaqe; boolla bishaanii guddaa Seekuutti argamu bira gaʼee, “Saamuʼeelii fi Daawit eessa jiru?” jedhee gaafate. Namni tokkos, “Isaan Naayot ishee Raamaa keessa jirtu keessa jiru” jedheen.
And he goes—he also—to Ramath, and comes to the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asks and says, “Where [are] Samuel and David?” And [one] says, “Behold, in Naioth in Ramah.”
23 Kanaafuu Saaʼol gara Naayot ishee Raamaa keessa jirtu sanaa dhaqe. Garuu Hafuurri Waaqaa isaa irra buʼe; innis hamma Nawaat gaʼutti raajii dubbachaa deeme.
And he goes there—to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is on him also; and he goes, going on, and he prophesies until his coming to Naioth in Ramah,
24 Wayyaa isaas of irraa baasee fuula Saamuʼeel duratti raajii dubbate. Innis halkanii fi guyyaa sana guutuu qullaa isaa ciise. Sababiin namoonni, “Saaʼolis raajota keessaa tokkoodhaa?” jedhaniif kanuma.
and he strips off—he also—his garments, and prophesies—he also—before Samuel, and falls down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
