Samuu'Eel Kowaad 18
1 Oo markii uu dhammeeyey lahadliddii uu Saa'uul la hadlayay ayay naftii Yoonaataan ku xidhantay naftii Daa'uud, oo Yoonaataan wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisa.
After David finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan became great friends with David. He loved David as he loved himself.
2 Oo maalintaasaa Saa'uul qaatay oo mar dambena uma uu oggolaan inuu gurigii aabbihiis tago.
From that time on Jonathan had David work for him and would not let him go back home.
3 Markaasaa Yoonaataan iyo Daa'uud axdi dhigteen, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisii.
Jonathan made a solemn agreement with David because he loved him as he loved himself.
4 Markaasaa Yoonaataan iska bixiyey khamiiskiisii uu huwanaa, oo Daa'uud siiyey, iyo dharkiisii, iyo xataa seeftiisii, iyo qaansadiisii, iyo suundhabarkiisii.
Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, together with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
5 Oo Daa'uudna meel alla meeshii Saa'uul u diro ayuu tegi jiray, wuuna ku guulaysan jiray; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu madax uga dhigay raggii dagaalka, oo taasuna way la wanaagsanayd dadkii oo dhan iyo addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhanba.
David was successful in doing everything Saul asked him to do, so Saul made him an officer in the army. This pleased everyone, including Saul's other officers.
6 Oo markay yimaadeen, markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday layntii reer Falastiin, dumarkii baa waxay ka yimaadeen magaalooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan si ay Boqor Saa'uul uga hor tagaan iyagoo gabyaya oo cayaaraya, oo faraxsan oo daf iyo alaabtii muusikada tumaya.
When the soldiers returned home after David had killed the Philistine, the women of all the towns of Israel came out singing and dancing to meet King Saul, happily celebrating with tambourines and musical instruments.
7 Oo dumarkiina midba midda kalay gabay u celisay, iyagoo cayaaraya, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Saa'uul wuxuu laayay kumanyaalkiisii, Daa'uudna wuxuu laayay tobanyaalkiisii kun.
As they danced the women sang, “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8 Saa'uulna aad buu u cadhooday, oo hadalkaas ayuu ka xumaaday, wuxuuna yidhi, Waxay Daa'uud ku sheegeen tobanyaal kun, laakiinse aniga waxay igu sheegeen kumanyaal; oo maxaa intaas ka badan oo uu heli lahaa boqortooyada mooyaane?
What they were singing made Saul very angry as he didn't think it was right. He said to himself, “They've given David credit for killing tens of thousands, but only thousands to me. All that's left is to give him the kingdom!”
9 Oo Saa'uulna maalintaas dabadeed Daa'uud si xun buu u fiirin jiray.
From that time on Saul viewed David with suspicion.
10 Oo subaxdii dambe ruux xun oo xag Ilaah ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul, oo sidii nebi ayuu wax ugu sii sheegay guriga dhexdiisa. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu gacanta ku dhuftay kataarad siduu maalin walba yeeli jiray; oo Saa'uulna gacantuu ku haystay warankiisii.
The following day an evil spirit from God came on Saul with power, and he was ranting inside the house while David played the harp as he regularly did. Saul happened to be holding a spear,
11 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Daa'uud derbigaan ku qodbi doonaa. Markaasaa Saa'uul warankii ku soo ganay. Daa'uudna laba jeer buu ka gabbaday.
and he threw it at David, saying to himself, “I'll pin David to the wall.” But David managed to escape him twice.
12 Oo Saa'uulna Daa'uud buu ka cabsanayay, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa isaga la jiray, wuuna ka tegey Saa'uul.
Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David, but he had given up on Saul.
13 Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuu iska fogeeyey isagii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay sirkaal kun u taliya; isaguna dadka hortiisuu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.
So Saul sent David away and made him a commander of a thousand soldiers, leading them out and back as part of the army.
14 Oo Daa'uudna wuu ku guulaysan jiray socodkiisa oo dhan, Rabbiguna wuu la jiray.
David was very successful in everything he did, because the Lord was with him.
15 Oo Saa'uulna markuu arkay in Daa'uud aad u guulaystay ayuu la yaabay.
When Saul saw how successful David was, he was even more afraid of him.
16 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah oo dhanba Daa'uud aad bay u jeclaayeen; waayo, isagu hortooduu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.
But everyone in Israel and Judah loved David, because of his leadership in the army.
17 Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gabadhayda weyn oo Meerab ah ayaan kuu siinayaa inaad guursato; laakiinse waa inaad ii xoog badnaato oo aad dagaallada Rabbigana dirirto. Waayo, Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Yuusan gacantayda ku bixin, laakiinse gacanta reer Falastiin ha ku baxo.
One day Saul told David, “Here's my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage, but only if you prove to me you're a brave warrior and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul was thinking, “I don't need to be the one to kill him—let the Philistines do it!”
18 Markaasaa Daa'uudna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, War yaan ahay, oo noloshaydu waa maxay, amase reer aabbahay xaggay ka joogaan reer binu Israa'iil, inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa?
“But who am I, and what status does my family have in Israel, for me to become the son-in-law of the king?” David replied.
19 Laakiinse wakhtigii Saa'uul gabadhiisii Meerab ahayd Daa'uud loo guurin lahaa, waxaa la siiyey oo loo guuriyey Cadrii'eel oo reer Mexolaad ahaa.
However, when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah instead.
20 Oo gabadhii Saa'uul oo Miikaal ahayd ayaa Daa'uud jeclaatay. Markaasaa Saa'uul loo sheegay, oo taasuna isagii way ka farxisay.
Meanwhile Saul's daughter Michal had fallen in love with David, and when Saul was told, he was happy about it.
21 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Dabin ha ku noqotee, isaga waan siin iyada, si ay gacanta reer Falastiin isaga gees uga ahaato. Sidaas aawadeed Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Adigu maanta waxaad mar labaad noqonaysaa wiilkii aan soddogga u ahaa.
“I'll give her to David,” Saul thought. “She can be the bait so the Philistines can trap him.” So Saul said to David, “This is the second time you can become my son-in-law.”
22 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku amray oo ku yidhi, Daa'uud hoos ahaan ula hadla, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Bal eeg, boqorku wuu kugu farxay, oo addoommadiisa oo dhammuna way ku jecel yihiin; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed boqorku soddog ha kuu noqdo.
Saul gave these instructions to his servants, “Talk with David in private and tell him, ‘Look, the king is very happy with you, and all of us love you. Why not become the king's son-in-law?’”
23 Oo addoommadii Saa'uulna erayadaas waxay u sheegeen Daa'uud. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Ma waxay idinla tahay inay fudud dahay inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa, anigoo ah nin miskiin ah oo weliba derejo yar?
Saul's servants spoke privately to David, but he replied, “Do you think it's nothing to become the king's son-in-law? I'm a poor man, and I'm not important.”
24 Oo Saa'uul addoommadiisiina way u soo sheegeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud sidaasuu u hadlay.
When Saul's servants explained to him what David had said,
25 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Sidan Daa'uud ku dhaha, Boqorku waxba yarad kaa dooni maayo, boqol buuryo oo reer Falastiin oo boqorka cadaawayaashiisa looga aarguto mooyaane. Haddaba Saa'uul wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud u gacangeliyo reer Falastiin.
Saul told them, “Tell David, ‘The only dowry the king wants for the bride is one hundred foreskins of dead Philistine as a way of taking revenge on his enemies.’” Saul's plan was to have David be killed by the Philistines.
26 Oo addoommadiisiina markay Daa'uud erayadaas u soo sheegeen ayaa Daa'uud aad ugu farxay inuu ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Maalmahaasuna ma ay dhammaan;
When the servants reported what the king had said back to David, he was happy to become the king's son-in-law. While there was still time,
27 markaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo tegey isagii iyo raggiisiiba, oo waxay reer Falastiin ka soo laayeen laba boqol oo nin; markaasaa Daa'uud buuryadoodii keenay, oo boqorkii bay siiyeen tiradoodii oo dhan, si Daa'uud u noqdo wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Saa'uulna wuu siiyey gabadhiisii Miikaal inay naag u noqoto.
David set off with his men and killed two hundred Philistines, and brought back their foreskins. They counted them all out before the king so that David could become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
28 Oo Saa'uulna wuu arkay wuuna ogaa in Rabbigu Daa'uud la jiro; oo Saa'uul gabadhiisii Miikaal ahaydna Daa'uud bay caashaqday.
Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal was in love with David,
29 Saa'uulna aad buu uga sii cabsanayay Daa'uud; oo Saa'uulna had iyo goorba Daa'uud cadow buu u ahaa.
and so he became even more afraid of David, and was David's enemy for the rest of his life.
30 Markaasaa waxaa soo baxay amiirradii reer Falastiin; oo sidii ay marar badan u soo bixi jireen, ayaa Daa'uud ka sii guul badnaa addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhan; oo sidaas aawadeed magiciisii aad iyo aad buu caan u noqday.
Whenever the Philistine commanders attacked, David was more successful in battle than all of Saul's officers, so that his reputation grew rapidly.
