1 Saamuʼeel 21
1 Daawit gara magaalaa Noob Abiimelek lubicha bira dhaqe. Ahiimelekis yeroo isa argetti hollatee, “Ati maaliif kophaa kee deemta? Maaliif namni tokko illee si wajjin hin jirru?” jedhee gaafate.
UDavida wasesiza eNobi kuAhimeleki umpristi; uAhimeleki wasesesaba ukuhlangabeza uDavida, wathi kuye: Kungani wena uwedwa, njalo kungelamuntu olawe?
2 Daawitis Ahiimelek lubichaan akkana jedhe; “Mootichi, ‘Namni tokko iyyuu waaʼee ergama keetiitii fi qajeelfama keetii beekuu hin qabu’ jedhee na ajajeera. Namoota koo immoo akka isaan iddoo tokkotti na eegan itti himeera.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki umpristi: Inkosi ingilaye udaba, yathi kimi: Kakungabi lamuntu owazi lalutho ngaloludaba engikuthuma lona, lengikulaya khona; lamajaha ngiwazisile ngendawo enje lenje.
3 Egaa isin maal of harkaa qabdu? Buddeena shan yookaan waanuma argachuu dandeessan naa kennaa.”
Khathesi-ke kuyini okungaphansi kwesandla sakho? Nika esandleni sami izinkwa ezinhlanu loba okungatholakala.
4 Lubichi garuu Daawitiin, “Ani buddeena namni kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandaʼu asii hin qabu; taʼus buddeenni qulqullaaʼaan namoonni dubartii bira hin gaʼin qofti nyaachuu dandaʼan as jira” jedhe.
Umpristi wasephendula uDavida wathi: Kakulasinkwa esejwayelekileyo ngaphansi kwesandla sami, kodwa kulesinkwa esingcwele, nxa amajaha ezigcinile esifazaneni kuphela.
5 Daawitis, “Dhugumaan akkuma yeroo ani baʼu hunda taʼaa ture sana dubartoonni nurraa dhowwamaniiru. Ergama qulqulluu hin taʼin irratti iyyuu miʼi dargaggootaa qulqulluu dha. Harʼa immoo hammam caalaatti haa qulqullaaʼuu ree!” jedhee deebise.
UDavida wasemphendula umpristi wathi kuye: Isibili abesifazana bavinjelwe kithi phose lezinsuku ezintathu ekuphumeni kwami; lezitsha zamajaha zingcwele; kodwa ngandlela thize sejwayelekile, laphezu kwalokho, ngoba lamuhla singcweliswe ezitsheni.
6 Kanaafuu lubichi buddeena qulqulleeffame sana isaaf kenne; buddeena ilaalchaa kan gaafas buddeena hoʼaadhaan iddoo buufamuuf fuula Waaqayyoo duraa fuudhame sana malee buddeenni biraa achi hin turreetii.
Ngakho umpristi wamnika esingcwele; ngoba kwakungelasinkwa lapho, ngaphandle kwesinkwa sokubukiswa, ebesisuswe phambi kweNkosi ukuthi kubekwe isinkwa esitshisayo mhla sithathwa.
7 Gaafasis tajaajiltoota Saaʼol keessaa tokko akka fuula Waaqayyoo dura turu dirqisiifamee ture; innis Dooʼeeg namicha Edoom, itti gaafatamaa tiksee Saaʼol ture.
Njalo kwakulomuntu lapho owenceku zikaSawuli mhlalokho, ebambekile phambi kweNkosi, lebizo lakhe lalinguDowegi umEdoma, induna yabelusi uSawuli ayelabo.
8 Daawitis, “Ati eeboo yookaan goraadee asii hin qabduu? Ani sababii hojiin mootichaa ariifachiisaa taʼeef goraadee yookaan miʼa lolaa tokko illee hin fidannee?” jedhee Ahiimelekin gaafate.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki: Kanti kakulamkhonto loba inkemba lapha ngaphansi kwesandla sakho? Ngoba kokubili inkemba yami lezikhali zami kangikuthathanga esandleni sami, ngoba udaba lwenkosi lwalungoluphuthunywayo.
9 Lubichis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Goraadeen Gooliyaad Filisxeemichaa kan ati Sulula Eelaa keessatti ajjeefte sanaa as jira; innis huccuudhaan maramee dirataan duuba jira. Yoo barbaadde fudhadhu; isa malee goraadeen biraa as hin jiru” jedheen. Daawitis, “Kan akka isaa hin jiruutii naa kenni” jedhe.
Umpristi wasesithi: Inkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti, owambulala esigodini seEla, njalo khangela, igoqelwe ngelembu ngemva kwe-efodi; uba uzithathela yona, ithathe, ngoba kayikho enye lapha ngaphandle kwayo. UDavida wasesithi: Kayikho enjengayo; nginika yona.
10 Daawit gaafas Saaʼol duraa baqatee gara Aakiish mooticha Gaati dhaqe.
Wasesukuma uDavida wabaleka ngalolosuku esuka ebusweni bukaSawuli, waya kuAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
11 Tajaajiltoonni Aakiish garuu, “Daawit kun mooticha biyyattii mitii?” Inni kan isaan: “‘Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatama ajjeese’ jedhanii faarfatanii sirbaniif sana mitii?”
Izinceku zikaAkishi zasezisithi kuye: Lo kayisuye uDavida yini inkosi yelizwe? Kabahlabelanga yini ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshayile izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
12 Daawitis waan kana garaatti qabatee Aakiish mooticha Gaati akka malee sodaate.
UDavida wasewafaka lamazwi enhliziyweni yakhe, wamesaba kakhulu uAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
13 Kanaafuu fuula isaanii duratti akka waan maraatee taʼe; utuma harka isaanii keessa jiruus cufaa karraa hooqee areeda isaa irra gorora yaasee akka nama maraatee of godhe.
Ngakho waguqula ukuziphatha kwakhe emehlweni abo, wazitshaya uhlanya ezandleni zabo, wadweba ezivalweni zamasango, wagxozisela indenda esilevini sakhe.
14 Aakiishis tajaajiltoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Mee namicha kana ilaalaa! Inni maraatuu dha! Maaliif gara koo isa fiddan?
UAkishi wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Khangelani, liyabona ukuthi lumuntu uyahlanya; limletheleni kimi?
15 Akka inni fuula koo duratti akkana taʼuuf isa as fiduun keessan ani nama maraate dhabeetii? Namichi kun mana koo dhufuu qabaa?”
Ngiswele inhlanya yini ukuthi lilethe lo ukuthi ahlanye phambi kwami? Lo uzangena endlini yami yini?
