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 told David, saying: 'Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-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.

Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I go and smite these Philistines?' And the LORD said unto David: 'Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.'

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 unto him: 'Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; 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 inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said: 'Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.'

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.

And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

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

And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an 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 it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said: 'God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.'

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

And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege 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 David knew that Saul devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest: 'Bring hither 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 said David: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, Thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

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.

Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as Thy servant hath heard?' O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech Thee, tell Thy servant.' And the LORD said: 'He will come 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 said David: 'Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul?' And the LORD said: 'They will deliver thee 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, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbore to go forth.

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 abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

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 saw that Saul was come out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.

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

And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand 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 he said unto him: 'Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.'

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

And they two made a covenant before the LORD; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went 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 came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

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

Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king's hand.'

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

And Saul said: 'Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have had compassion 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, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there; for it is told me that he dealeth very subtly.

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.

See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hideth himself, and come ye back to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands 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 arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of Jeshimon.

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 to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness 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 went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about 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 there came a messenger unto Saul, saying: 'Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon 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 Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.

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

And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
