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, into the cave of Adullam, —and, when his brethren and all the household of his father heard it, they went down unto him, thither.
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 there gathered themselves unto him—every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one embittered in soul, and he came to be over them as a prince, —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 departed thence, to Mizpah of Moab, —and said unto the king of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother dwell with you, until that 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.
So he set them before the king of Moab, —and they dwelt with him, all the days that David was in the fortress.
5 Taʼus Gaad raajichi Daawitiin, “Daʼannoo keessa hin turin. Biyya Yihuudaatti gali” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit achii baʼee bosona Hereeti seene.
Then said Gad the prophet unto David—Thou must not abide in the fortress, go and get thee into the land of Judah. So David departed, and entered the forest of Hereth.
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.
And, when Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him—Saul, being seated in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants stationed by 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 said Saul unto his servants who were stationed by him—Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites! What! even to all of you, will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards? All of you, will he appoint to be princes of thousands, and princes 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 ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none to uncover mine ear as to the covenanting of my son with the son of Jesse? And none from among you that taketh pity upon me, and that uncovereth mine ear [to this], —that, mine own son, hath stirred up, my servants, 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—he, being stationed near the servants of Saul—and said, —I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub;
10 Abiimelekis Waaqayyoon isaaf kadhate; akkasumas galaa fi goraadee Gooliyaad Filisxeemichaa kenneef.”
Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him, —and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.
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, son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father—the priests, who were in Nob, —and they came, all of them, unto the king.
12 Saaʼolis, “Yaa ilma Ahiixuub dhagaʼi” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa gooftaa, ani kunoo ti” jedhee deebise.
And Saul said, Hear, I pray thee, thou son of Ahitub! And he said—Behold me! 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, Wherefore have ye conspired against me, thou, and the son of Jesse, —in that thou gavest him bread and a sword, and didst enquire for him of God, that he might rise up against me, that he might 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, —But who, among all thy servants, like David, is, faithful, being son-in-law to the king, and, cometh near to have audience with thee, and is, honoured in thy household?
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, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth 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, die, Ahimelech, —thou and all the household of thy father.
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 runners that were stationed by him—Turn ye round and put to death the priests of Yahweh, because, their hand also, is with David, and because they knew that he was, in flight, and unveiled not mine ear. But the servants of the king were not willing to thrust forth their hand, to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.
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.
Then said the king to Doeg, Turn, thou, and fall upon the priests. So Doeg the Edomite turned, and, himself, fell upon the priests, and put to death, that day, four score and five men bearing an ephod of linen;
19 Noob magaalaa lubootaas, dhiirotaa fi dubartoota ishee, ijoollee fi daaʼimman ishee, loon, harrootaa fi hoolota ishee goraadeedhaan barbadeesse.
Nob also, 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.
But there escaped one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, whose, name, was Abiathar, —and he fled after David.
21 Innis akka Saaʼol luboota Waaqayyoo fixe Daawititti hime.
So Abiathar told David, —that Saul had slain the priests of Yahweh.
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.
Then said David to Abiathar—I knew, that day, when Doeg the Edomite was, there, that he would, surely tell, Saul. I, am chargeable with all the lives of the house of thy father.
23 Ana wajjin turi; hin sodaatin; namni lubbuu kee barbaadu, lubbuu koos ni barbaada. Ati na wajjin nagumaan jiraatta.”
Abide with me! do not fear, for, whoso seeketh my life, seeketh thy life, —for, in safeguard, shall thou be, with me.
