1 Saamuʼeel 19
1 Saaʼol ilma isaa Yoonaataanii fi tajaajiltoota hunda akka isaan Daawitin ajjeesan ajaje. Yoonaataan garuu akka malee Daawitin jaallata ture;
Then spake Saul unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, that they should 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.
but, Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted in David, exceedingly, —so Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, is seeking to put thee to death, —now, therefore, take heed to thyself I pray thee, in the morning, and abide thou in concealment, and hide thyself;
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, will come out and stand beside my father, in the field where, thou, art, and, I, will speak of thee unto my father, —and, if I see aught, I will tell thee.
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.
So then Jonathan spake of David things that were good, unto Saul his father, —and said unto him—May the king not sin against his servant—against David; for he hath not sinned against, thee, nay, indeed, his doings have been good to theeward exceedingly.
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?”
And, when he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Yahweh wrought a great victory for all Israel, thou sawest, and didst rejoice. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou sin against innocent blood by putting David to death, without cause?
6 Saaʼolis Yoonaataanin dhaggeeffatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Daawit hin ajjeefamu” jedhee kakate.
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan, —and Saul sware, By the life of Yahweh, he shall not be put to death!
7 Kanaafuu Yoonaataan Daawitin waamee waan kana hunda itti hime. Saaʼolittis isa fide; Daawitis akkuma duriitti Saaʼol dura dhaabate.
And Jonathan called for David, and Jonathan told him all these things, —and Jonathan brought in David unto Saul, and so he was in his presence, as aforetime.
8 Ammas lolli ni kaʼe; Daawitis dhaqee Filisxeemota lole. Innis humna guddaan isaan dhaʼe; isaanis isa duraa baqatan.
But, when the war again brake out, —and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great smiting, and they fled before him,
9 Garuu utuu Saaʼol eeboo harkatti qabatee mana isaa taaʼuu hafuuri hamaan Waaqayyo biraa isatti dhufe. Utuu Daawit baganaa taphachaa jiruu,
then came there a sad spirit of Yahweh unto Saul, he being in his house, seated, with his spear in his hand, —while, David, played with his hand,
10 Saaʼol eeboodhaan Daawitin keenyanitti hodhuu yaale; Daawit garuu duraa miliqe; Saaʼolis eeboo sana keenyanitti fixe. Daawitis halkan sana baqatee jalaa baʼe.
Saul sought to smite David with the spear, even to the wall, but he slipped away from before Saul, who smote the spear into the wall, —whereas, David, fled and escaped, 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 sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to put him to death, in the morning! And Michal his wife told David, saying, If thou do not deliver thyself to-night, to-morrow, art thou to be put to death.
12 Kanaafuu Miikaal foddaa keessaan Daawitin gad buufte; innis baqatee miliqe.
So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed and fled, and escaped.
13 Ergasii Miikaal fakkii Waaqa tolfamaa tokko fuutee wayyaa itti uffiftee siree irra ciibsite; boraatii rifeensa reʼees mataa jala keesseef.
And Michal took the household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly-net of goat’s-hair, put she at its head, —and covered it with the clothes.
14 Yeroo Saaʼol Daawitin qabsiisuuf namoota ergetti Miikaal, “Inni dhukkubsateera” jette.
And, when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said—He is, sick.
15 Saaʼol akka isaan Daawitin ilaalaniif deebisee namoota ergee, “Akka ani isa ajjeesuuf siree isaatiin naa fidaa” isaaniin jedhe.
So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, —Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death.
16 Yeroo namoonni sun ol seenanitti fakkiin Waaqa tolfamaa sun siree irra ciibsamee, rifeensi reʼees mataa jala kaaʼameefii argame.
And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed, —with a fly-net of goat’s-hair at its head.
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 said unto Michal—Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me—Let me go, wherefore should I put thee 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.
So, David, fled, and escaped, and came in unto Samuel in Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him, —and he and Samuel departed, and dwelt in Naioth.
19 Saaʼolittis, “Kunoo Daawit Naayot ishee Raamaa keessatti argamtu keessa jira” jedhanii himan.
And it was told Saul, saying, —Lo! 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.
So Saul sent messengers to take David, but, when they saw the assembly of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, then came the Spirit of God upon the messengers of Saul, and, they also, were, moved to prophesy.
21 Saaʼol yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti namoota biraa erge; isaanis akkasuma raajii dubbatan. Saaʼol ammas yeroo sadaffaaf namoota erge; isaanis akkasuma raajii dubbatan.
And, when they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, then were, they also, moved to prophesy. And, when Saul again sent messengers a third time, then were, they also, moved to prophesy.
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.
Then went, he also himself, to Ramah, and came in as far as the well of the threshing-floor which is in Sephi, and asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said—Lo! 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, when he departed from thence towards Naioth in Ramah, then came upon, him also, the Spirit of God, and he went on and on, and was moved to prophesy, until he entered 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, even he, stripped off his upper garments, and, even he, was moved to prophesy before Samuel, and lay prostrate, disrobed, all that day, and all the night. For this cause, do they say, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
