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 spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
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 much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], 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 go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that 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.
And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] toward thee very good:
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?”
For he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6 Saaʼolis Yoonaataanin dhaggeeffatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Daawit hin ajjeefamu” jedhee kakate.
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
7 Kanaafuu Yoonaataan Daawitin waamee waan kana hunda itti hime. Saaʼolittis isa fide; Daawitis akkuma duriitti Saaʼol dura dhaabate.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Ammas lolli ni kaʼe; Daawitis dhaqee Filisxeemota lole. Innis humna guddaan isaan dhaʼe; isaanis isa duraa baqatan.
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9 Garuu utuu Saaʼol eeboo harkatti qabatee mana isaa taaʼuu hafuuri hamaan Waaqayyo biraa isatti dhufe. Utuu Daawit baganaa taphachaa jiruu,
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and 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.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and 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.
Saul also sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
12 Kanaafuu Miikaal foddaa keessaan Daawitin gad buufte; innis baqatee miliqe.
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, 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 an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.
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.
And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 Yeroo namoonni sun ol seenanitti fakkiin Waaqa tolfamaa sun siree irra ciibsamee, rifeensi reʼees mataa jala kaaʼameefii argame.
And when the messengers had come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster.
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 to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
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 to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 Saaʼolittis, “Kunoo Daawit Naayot ishee Raamaa keessatti argamtu keessa jira” jedhanii himan.
And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at 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 sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
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 it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied 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.
Then he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they are] at 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 went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came 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 stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
