Samuu'Eel Kowaad 23

1 Markaasaa Daa'uud loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Reer Falastiin waxay la dirirayaan reer Qeciilaah iyagoo ka dhacaya meelihii hadhuudhka lagu tumi jiray.

And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.

2 Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud Rabbiguu wax weyddiistay oo yidhi, Miyaan tagaa oo kuwan reer Falastiin soo laayaa? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Tag, oo reer Falastiin soo laa, oo reer Qeciilaah soo badbaadi.

So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.

3 Markaasaa Daa'uud raggiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, annagu halkan oo ah dalka Yahuudah ayaan ku cabsanaynaa, haddaba intee in le'eg bay nooga sii daran tahay haddaannu Qeciilaah tagno oo ciidanka reer Falastiin ku duulno?

And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

4 Oo haddana mar kale ayaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiistay. Markaasaa Rabbigu ugu jawaabay, Kac, oo ku dhaadhac Qeciilaah, waayo, reer Falastiin gacantaadaan soo gelin doonaa.

Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.

5 Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisiiba Qeciilaah tageen, oo reer Falastiin la dirireen, oo waxay ka soo dhaceen lo'doodii, dad faro badanna way laayeen. Sidaasuu Daa'uud dadkii Qeciilaah degganaa u badbaadiyey.

So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

6 Oo markii Aabyaataar oo ina Axiimeleg ahaa Daa'uud ugu soo cararay xagga Qeciilaah, wuxuu yimid isagoo eefod gacanta ku sita.

Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

7 Oo Saa'uul baa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud Qeciilaah yimid. Markaasaa Saa'uul yidhi, Haddaa Ilaah gacanta ii soo geliyey; waayo, wuxuu ku xidhmay markuu galay magaalo leh irdo iyo qataarro.

And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

8 Markaasaa Saa'uul dadkiisii oo dhan dagaal ugu yeedhay inay Qeciilaah ku dhaadhacaan, oo ay Daa'uud iyo raggiisaba hareereeyaan.

And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.

9 Oo Daa'uudna wuu ogaa in Saa'uul belaayo la damacsan yahay; markaasuu wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa ku yidhi, Halkan eefodka keen.

And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.

10 Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, hubaal anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan maqlay in Saa'uul doonayo inuu Qeciilaah yimaado, oo uu magaaladana daraadday u baabbi'iyo.

Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

11 Haddaba dadka reer Qeciilaah miyey isaga ii gacangelin doonaan? Oo Saa'uul miyuu soo dhaadhacayaa sidii anoo addoonkaaga ah aan u maqlay? Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, waan ku baryayaaye, anigoo addoonkaaga ah taas ii sheeg. Markaasaa Rabbigu ku yidhi, Haah, wuu soo dhaadhici doonaa.

And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

12 Kolkaasuu Daa'uud yidhi, Haddaba miyey dadka reer Qeciilaah aniga iyo raggaygaba Saa'uul gacanta noo gelin doonaan? Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Haah, way kuu gacangelin doonaan.

Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.

13 Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisii oo lix boqol ku dhowaa kaceen oo Qeciilaah ka baxeen, oo waxay tageen meel alla meeshii ay tegi kareen. Oo Saa'uulna waxaa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud Qeciilaah ka baxsaday, markaasuu iska daayay inuu u soo baxo.

Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

14 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu degganaa dhufaysyada cidlada ku yiil, oo wuxuu iska joogay dalka buuraha leh ee cidlada ah ee Siif. Oo Saa'uul baa doondooni jiray maalin kasta, laakiinse Ilaah gacanta uma soo gelin.

And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

15 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu arkay in Saa'uul u soo baxay si uu naftiisa u deydeyo. Daa'uudna cidlada Siif buu ku jiray, duurka dhexdiisa.

And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.

16 Markaasaa Saa'uul wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ahaa kacay, oo Daa'uud ugu tegey duurka dhexdiisa, oo gacantiisuu ku xoogeeyey Ilaah.

And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;

17 Oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, waayo, aabbahay Saa'uul gacantiisu kuma heli doonto; oo adna reer binu Israa'iil boqor baad u noqon doontaa, oo anna waan kugu xigi doonaa; taasna aabbahay Saa'uul waa og yahay.

And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.

18 Oo labadoodii axdi bay Rabbiga hortiisa ku dhigteen. Oo Daa'uud wuxuu iska joogay duurkii, Yoonaataanna gurigiisii buu tegey.

And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.

19 Markaasaa Saa'uul waxaa Gibecaah ugu yimid reer Siif, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud miyaanu ku dhuuman dhufaysyada dalkayaga duurka ku yaal, oo ku dhex yaal buurta Xakiilaah, oo lamadegaanka xaggiisa koonfureed ku taal?

Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

20 Haddaba, boqorow, soo dhaadhac adigoo aad u doonaya inaad timaadid; oo annana qaybtayadu wuxuu ahaan doonaa inaan gacantaada ku soo ridno, boqorow.

So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

21 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Kuwo xagga Rabbiga ka barakaysan noqda; waayo, idinku waad ii naxariisateen.

And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.

22 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye weliba taga oo sii hubsada, oo waxaad soo ogaataan oo soo aragtaan meeshuu u caado leeyahay, iyo kii isaga halkaas ku soo arkay, waayo, waxaa la ii soo sheegay inuu aad xeelad ugu macaamiloodo.

Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.

23 Sidaas daraaddeed soo arka oo soo wada ogaada meelaha uu ku gabbado ee uu ku dhuunto oo dhanba, oo mar kale igu soo noqda idinkoo aad u huba, markaasaan idin raaci doonaa, oo haddii uu dhulka dhex joogo, waxaan isaga ka dhex baadhi doonaa kumanyaalka reer Yahuudah oo dhan.

So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

24 Markaasay Saa'uul hor mareen, oo ay u kaceen xagga Siif, laakiinse Daa'uud iyo raggiisiiba waxay joogeen cidlada reer Maacoon ku dhex taal Caraabaah ee lamadegaanka xaggiisa koonfureed ku taal.

And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.

25 Markaasaa Saa'uul iyo raggiisiiba waxay u soo baxeen inay Daa'uud doondoonaan. Oo iyana taas bay u sheegeen Daa'uud, sidaas daraaddeed ayuu u dhaadhacay xagga dhagaxii weynaa, oo cidladii Maacoon ayuu iska joogay. Oo Saa'uulna markuu taas maqlay ayuu Daa'uud u eryaday xagga cidladii Maacoon.

And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

26 Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu maray buurta dhankeedii soke, Daa'uud iyo raggiisiina waxay mareen buurta dhankeedii shishe, oo Daa'uudna wuu dhaqsaday inuu u cararo cabsi uu Saa'uul ka qabo aawadeed, waayo, Saa'uul iyo raggiisii waxay u hareereeyeen Daa'uud iyo raggiisii inay qabtaan.

And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.

27 Laakiinse wargeeys baa Saa'uul u yimid oo ku yidhi, Soo dhaqso oo kaalay; waayo, reer Falastiin weerar bay ku soo kacsheen dalkii.

But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.

28 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuu ka noqday Daa'uud kii uu eryanayay, oo wuxuu u kacay kuwii reer Falastiin, sidaas aawadeed waxay meeshaas u bixiyeen Selac Hammaxleqood.

So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

29 Oo Daa'uudna halkaas wuu ka tegey, oo iska joogay Ceyn Gedii dhufaysyadeedii.

And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
