1 Saamuʼeel 22
1 Daawit Gaatii kaʼee gara holqa Adulaamitti baqate. Obboloonni isaatii fi maatiin abbaa isaa hundi yeroo waan kana dhagaʼanitti gara isaa dhaqan.
DAVID therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
2 Namoonni rakkatan hundi yookaan kanneen gatiin irra jiru hundii fi warri of jibban hundi isa biratti wal gaʼan; innis hoogganaa isaanii taʼe. Namoonni isa wajjin turanis gara dhibba afurii ti.
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 Daawit achii kaʼee Miisphaa ishee biyya Moʼaabitti argamtuu dhaqee mooticha Moʼaabiin, “Hamma ani waan Waaqni naaf godhu beekutti akka abbaan koo fi haati koo dhufanii si bira jiraatan ni eeyyamtaa?” jedhe.
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
4 Innis mootii Moʼaab biratti isaan dhiise; isaanis yeroo Daawit iddoo daʼannoo keessa turetti mooticha bira jiraatan.
And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
5 Taʼus Gaad raajichi Daawitiin, “Daʼannoo keessa hin turin. Biyya Yihuudaatti gali” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit achii baʼee bosona Hereeti seene.
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
6 Saaʼol akka Daawitii fi namoonni isaa argaman dhagaʼe. Saaʼolis eeboo harkatti qabatee gaara Gibeʼaa irra muka tamirii jala taaʼaa ture. Qondaaltonni isaa hundinuus isa bira dhaabachaa turan.
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him; )
7 Saaʼolis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa namoota Beniyaam dhagaʼaa! Dhugumaan ilmi Isseey lafa qotiisaatii fi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii hunda keessaniif ni kennaa? Hunda keessanis ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa ni godhaa?
Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
8 Sababiin isin hundi natti malattaniif kanaa? Yeroo ilmi koo ilma Isseey wajjin kakuu galutti namni tokko iyyuu natti hin himu. Isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu dhimma koo hin qabu yookaan akka ilmi koo akka inni akkuma harʼa gochaa jiru kana akka tajaajilaan koo riphee na eeggatuuf isa natti kakaasu isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu natti hin himu.”
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
9 Garuu Dooʼeeg Edoomichi kan qondaaltota Saaʼol wajjin dhaabachaa ture sun akkana jedhee deebise; “Ani ilma Isseey isaa gara Noob Ahiimelek ilma Ahiixuub bira dhufuu nan arge.
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 Abiimelekis Waaqayyoon isaaf kadhate; akkasumas galaa fi goraadee Gooliyaad Filisxeemichaa kenneef.”
And he inquired of the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 Kana irratti mootichi Ahiimelek lubicha ilma Ahiixuubitti nama ergee isaa fi maatii abbaa isaa kanneen Noobitti luboota turan hunda waamsise; isaanis gara mootichaa dhufan.
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12 Saaʼolis, “Yaa ilma Ahiixuub dhagaʼi” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa gooftaa, ani kunoo ti” jedhee deebise.
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
13 Saaʼolis akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati maaliif buddeenaa fi goraadee kenniteefii Waaqa kadhachuufiidhaan akka inni natti fincilee akkuma harʼa gochaa jiru kana riphee na eeggatu isa gootee ilma Isseey wajjin natti malatte?”
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
14 Ahiimelekis deebisee mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Dhirsi intala mootichaa, ajajaa loltoota si eeganiitii fi namni mana kee keessatti akka malee kabajamu tajaajiltoota kee hunda keessaa amanamaan akka Daawit eenyu?
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
15 Waaqa isaaf kadhachuun koo harʼa guyyaa jalqabaatii? Miti! Mootichi garbicha kee yookaan maatii abbaa isaa keessaa nama tokko illee yakkamaa hin godhin; garbichi kee waaʼee waan kana hundaa homaa hin beekuutii.”
Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
16 Mootichi garuu, “Yaa Ahiimelek, dhugumaan ati ni duuta; atis, maatiin abbaa keetii hundinuus ni duutu” jedhe.
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
17 Ergasiis mootichi waardiyyoota isa bira turaniin, “Sababii luboonni Waaqayyoo kunneen Daawitiif tumsaniif, itti garagalaatii isaan fixaa. Isaan akka inni baqachaa ture ni beeku; taʼus natti hin himne” jedhe. Qondaaltonni mootichaa garuu luboota Waaqayyoo dhaʼuudhaaf harka isaanii ol fudhachuu hin feene.
And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
18 Mootichis, “Itti garagaliitii luboota fixi” jedhee Dooʼeeg Edoomicha ajaje. Kanaafuu Dooʼeeg Edoomichi itti garagalee isaan dhaʼe. Inni gaafas luboota dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatan saddeettamii shan fixe.
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 Noob magaalaa lubootaas, dhiirotaa fi dubartoota ishee, ijoollee fi daaʼimman ishee, loon, harrootaa fi hoolota ishee goraadeedhaan barbadeesse.
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 Garuu Abiyaataar ilmi Ahiimelek ilma Ahiixuub sun miliqee gara Daawititti baqate.
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 Innis akka Saaʼol luboota Waaqayyoo fixe Daawititti hime.
And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the Lord’s priests.
22 Daawitis Abiyaataariin akkana jedhe; “Ani gaafas yeroo Dooʼeeg Edoomichi achi turetti akka inni dhugumaan Saaʼolitti odeessu beekeera. Badiisa maatii abbaa keetii hundaaf anatu gaafatama.
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father’s house.
23 Ana wajjin turi; hin sodaatin; namni lubbuu kee barbaadu, lubbuu koos ni barbaada. Ati na wajjin nagumaan jiraatta.”
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
