1 Samweli 26
1 Hao Wazifu wakamwendea Sauli huko Gibea na kusema, “Je, Daudi hakujificha katika kilima cha Hakila, kinachotazamana na Yeshimoni?”
And Zipheis camen to Saul in to Gabaa, and seiden, Lo! Dauid is hidde in the hille of Achille, which is `euene ayens the wildirnesse.
2 Hivyo Sauli akashuka kwenda katika Jangwa la Zifu, akiwa na watu wake 3,000 wa Israeli waliochaguliwa, kumsaka Daudi huko.
And Saul roos, and yede doun in to deseert of Ziph, and with hym thre thousynde of men of the chosun of Israel, that he schulde seke Dauid in the desert of Ziph.
3 Sauli akapiga kambi yake kando ya barabara juu ya kilima cha Hakila kinachotazamana na Yeshimoni, lakini Daudi alikuwa anaishi huko jangwani. Alipoona kuwa Sauli amemfuata huko,
And Saul settide tentis in Gabaa of Achille, that was euen ayens the wildirnesse in the weie. Sotheli Dauid dwellide in deseert. Forsothe Dauid siy that Saul hadde come aftir hym in to deseert;
4 Daudi akatuma wapelelezi na akapata habari kwa hakika kwamba Sauli alikuwa amewasili.
and Dauid sente aspieris, and lernede moost certeynli, that Saul hadde come thidur.
5 Ndipo Daudi akaondoka, akaenda hadi mahali Sauli alikuwa amepiga kambi. Akaona mahali Sauli na Abneri mwana wa Neri, jemadari wa jeshi, walipokuwa wamelala. Sauli alikuwa amelala ndani ya kambi, jeshi likiwa limemzunguka.
And Dauid roos priueli, and cam to the place where Saul was. And whanne Dauid hadde seyn the place, wher ynne Saul slepte, and Abner, the sone of Ner, the prince of his chyualrye, and Saul slepynge in the tente, and the tother comyn puple bi his cumpas, Dauid seide to Achymelech,
6 Basi Daudi akamuuliza Ahimeleki Mhiti, na Abishai mwana wa Seruya, nduguye Yoabu, akisema, “Ni nani atakayeshuka pamoja nami kambini kwa Sauli?” Abishai akajibu, “Nitakwenda pamoja nawe.”
Ethey, and to Abisai, sone of Saruye, the brother of Joab, `and seide, Who schal go doun with me to Saul in to `the castels? And Abisai seide, Y schal go doun with thee.
7 Hivyo Daudi na Abishai wakaenda kwenye jeshi wakati wa usiku, tazama Sauli, alikuwa amelala ndani ya kambi na mkuki wake umekitwa ardhini karibu na kichwa chake. Abneri na askari walikuwa wamelala kumzunguka Sauli.
Therfor Dauid and Abisai camen to the puple in the nyyt, and thei founden Saul lyggynge and slepynge in `the tente, and a spere sette faste in the erthe at his heed; `forsothe thei founden Abner and the puple slepynge in his cumpas.
8 Abishai akamwambia Daudi, “Leo Mungu amemtia adui yako mikononi mwako. Sasa niruhusu nimchome mpaka ardhini kwa pigo moja la mkuki wangu; sitamchoma mara mbili.”
And Abisay seide to Dauid, God hath closid to dai thin enemy in to thin hondis; now therfor Y schal peerse hym with a spere onys in the erthe, and `no nede schal be the secounde tyme.
9 Lakini Daudi akamwambia Abishai, “Usimwangamize! Ni nani awezaye kutia mkono juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana na asiwe na hatia?”
And Dauid seide to Abysai, Sle thou not hym, for who schal holde forth his hond into the crist of the Lord, and schal be innocent?
10 Daudi akasema, “Hakika kama vile Bwana aishivyo, Bwana mwenyewe atampiga; au wakati wake utafika, naye atakufa, au atakwenda vitani na kuangamia.
And Dauid seide, The Lord lyueth, for no but the Lord smyte hym, ether his dai come that he die, ether he go doun in to batel and perische;
11 Lakini Mungu na apishie mbali nisije nikainua mkono juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana. Sasa chukua huo mkuki na hilo gudulia la maji vilivyo karibu na kichwa chake, tuondoke.”
the Lord be merciful to me, that Y holde not forth myn hond in to the crist of the Lord; now therfor take thou the spere, which is at his heed, and `take thou the cuppe of watir, and go we awei.
12 Hivyo Daudi akachukua huo mkuki na hilo gudulia la maji vilivyokuwa karibu na kichwa cha Sauli, nao wakaondoka. Hakuna yeyote aliyeona au kufahamu habari hii, wala hakuna hata mmoja aliyeamka usingizini. Wote walikuwa wamelala, kwa sababu Bwana alikuwa amewatia kwenye usingizi mzito.
Dauid took the spere, and the cuppe of watir, that was at the heed of Saul, and thei yeden forth, and no man was that siy, and vndirstood, and wakide, but alle men slepten; for the sleep of the Lord `hadde feld on hem.
13 Kisha Daudi akavuka upande mwingine na kusimama juu ya kilima mahali palipokuwa na nafasi pana kati yao.
And whanne Dauid hadde passid euene ayens, and hadde stonde on the cop of the hil afer, and a greet space was bitwixe hem,
14 Daudi akalipigia kelele jeshi na Abneri mwana wa Neri, akisema, “Je, Abneri, hutanijibu?” Abneri akajibu, “Nani wewe umwitaye mfalme?”
Dauid criede to the puple, and to Abner, the sone of Ner, and seide, Abner, whether thou schalt not answere? And Abner answeride, and seide, Who art thou, that criest, and disesist the kyng?
15 Daudi akasema, “Wewe si ni mtu shujaa? Ni nani aliye kama wewe katika Israeli? Kwa nini basi hukumlinda mfalme bwana wako? Mtu mmoja alikuja kumwangamiza mfalme, bwana wako.
And Dauith seide to Abner, Whether thou art not a man, and what other man is lijk thee in Israel? whi therfor `kepist thou not thi lord the kyng? `For o man of the cumpanye entride, that he schulde sle thi lord the kyng;
16 Ulichokifanya si kizuri. Kwa hakika kama aishivyo Bwana, wewe na watu wako mnastahili kufa, kwa sababu hamkumlinda bwana wenu, mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana. Tazameni hapo mlipo. Uko wapi mkuki wa mfalme na gudulia la maji ambavyo vilikuwa karibu na kichwa chake?”
this that thou hast doon, is not good; the Lord lyueth, for ye ben sones of deeth, that kepten not youre lord, the crist of the Lord. Now therfor se thou, where is the spere of the kyng, and where is the cuppe of watir, that weren at his heed.
17 Sauli akatambua sauti ya Daudi, na kusema, “Je, hiyo ni sauti yako, Daudi mwanangu?” Daudi akajibu, “Naam, hiyo ndiyo, bwana wangu mfalme.”
Forsothe Saul knew the vois of Dauid, and seide, Whether this vois is thin, my sone Dauid? And Dauid seide, My lord the kyng, it is my vois.
18 Pia akaongeza, “Kwa nini bwana wangu anamfuatia mtumishi wake? Nimefanya nini, nalo kosa langu ni lipi nililolifanya niwe na hatia?
And Dauid seide, For what cause pursueth my lord his seruaunt? What haue Y do, ether what yuel is in myn hond? Now therfor,
19 Sasa mfalme bwana wangu na asikilize maneno ya mtumishi wake. Kama Bwana amekuchochea dhidi yangu, basi yeye na aipokee sadaka yangu. Lakini hata hivyo, kama ni wanadamu waliofanya hivyo, walaaniwe mbele za Bwana! Wao sasa wamenifukuza kutoka sehemu yangu katika urithi wa Bwana wangu wakisema, ‘Nenda ukatumikie miungu mingine.’
my lord the kyng, Y preye, here the wordis of thi seruaunt; if the Lord stirith thee ayens me, the sacrifice be smellid; forsothe if sones of men stiren thee, thei ben cursid in the siyt of the Lord, whiche han cast me out `to dai, that Y dwelle not in the erytage of the Lord, and seien, Go thou, serue thou alien goddis.
20 Basi usiache damu yangu imwagike kwenye ardhi mbali na uso wa Bwana. Mfalme wa Israeli ametoka kutafuta kiroboto, kama vile mtu awindavyo kware katika milima.”
And now my blood be not sched out in the erthe bifor the Lord; for the kyng of Israel yede out, that he seke a quike fle, as a partrich is pursuede in hillis.
21 Ndipo Sauli akasema, “Nimetenda dhambi. Rudi, Daudi mwanangu. Kwa kuwa uliyahesabu maisha yangu kuwa ya thamani leo, sitajaribu kukudhuru tena. Hakika nimetenda kama mpumbavu na nimekosa sana.”
And Saul seide, Y synnede; turne ayen, my sone Dauid, for Y schal no more do yuel to thee, for my lijf was precious to day in thin iyen; for it semeth, that Y dide folili, and Y vnknew ful many thingis.
22 Daudi akajibu, “Mkuki wa mfalme uko hapa. Mmoja wa vijana wako na avuke kuuchukua.
And Dauid answeride and seide, Lo! the spere of the kyng, oon of the `children of the kyng passe, and take it; forsothe the Lord schal yelde to ech man bi his riytfulnesse and feith;
23 Bwana humlipa kila mtu kwa ajili ya haki yake na uaminifu wake. Bwana alikutia katika mikono yangu leo, lakini sikuinua mkono wangu juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana.
for the Lord bitook thee to dai in to myn hond, and Y nolde holde forth myn hond in to the crist of the Lord;
24 Kwa hakika kama vile maisha yako yalivyokuwa ya thamani kwangu leo, vivyo hivyo maisha yangu na yawe na thamani kwa Bwana na kuniokoa kutoka taabu zote.”
and as thi lijf is magnified to dai in myn iyen, so my lijf be magnyfied in the iyen of the Lord, and delyuere he me fro al angwisch.
25 Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Mwanangu Daudi na ubarikiwe; utafanya mambo makubwa na hakika utashinda.” Basi Daudi akaenda zake, naye Sauli akarudi nyumbani.
Therfor Saul seide to Dauid, Blessid be thou, my sone Dauid; and sotheli thou doynge schalt do, and thou myyti schalt be myyti. Therfor Dauid yede in to his weie, and Saul turnede ayen in to his place.
