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.
So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there 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.
Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
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.
Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until 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.
He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
5 Taʼus Gaad raajichi Daawitiin, “Daʼannoo keessa hin turin. Biyya Yihuudaatti gali” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit achii baʼee bosona Hereeti seene.
Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into 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.
Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around 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?
Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he 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.”
in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
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 Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
10 Abiimelekis Waaqayyoon isaaf kadhate; akkasumas galaa fi goraadee Gooliyaad Filisxeemichaa kenneef.”
He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and 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 someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
12 Saaʼolis, “Yaa ilma Ahiixuub dhagaʼi” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa gooftaa, ani kunoo ti” jedhee deebise.
Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
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?”
Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
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, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your 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.”
Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
16 Mootichi garuu, “Yaa Ahiimelek, dhugumaan ati ni duuta; atis, maatiin abbaa keetii hundinuus ni duutu” jedhe.
The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your 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.
The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill 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 the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
19 Noob magaalaa lubootaas, dhiirotaa fi dubartoota ishee, ijoollee fi daaʼimman ishee, loon, harrootaa fi hoolota ishee goraadeedhaan barbadeesse.
He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to the sword.
20 Garuu Abiyaataar ilmi Ahiimelek ilma Ahiixuub sun miliqee gara Daawititti baqate.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
21 Innis akka Saaʼol luboota Waaqayyoo fixe Daawititti hime.
Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh'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.
David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
23 Ana wajjin turi; hin sodaatin; namni lubbuu kee barbaadu, lubbuu koos ni barbaada. Ati na wajjin nagumaan jiraatta.”
Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
