1 Samweli 22
1 Basi Daudi aliondoka hapo na akatoroka kwenda kwenye pango la Adulamu. Kaka zake na wote wa nyumba ya baba yake waliposikia hayo, wakateremka kumwendea huko.
Therfor Dauid yede fro thennus, and fledde in to the denne of Odollam; and whanne hise britheren, and al the hows of his fadir hadden herd this, thei camen doun thidur to hym.
2 Kila mmoja aliyekuwa na mahangaiko, kila mmoja aliyekuwa na deni, na kila mmoja ambaye hakuwa na furaha moyoni-wote walijikusanya kwake, na Daudi akawa jemedari wao. Kulikuwa na wanaume wapatao mia nne waliokuwa pamoja naye.
And alle men that weren set in angwisch, and oppressid with othere mennus dette, and in bittir soule, camen togidere to hym; and he was maad the prince `of hem, and as foure hundrid men weren with hym.
3 Kisha Daudi alitoka huko akaenda Mispa huko Moabu. Akamwambia mfalme wa Moabu, “Tafadhali waruhusu baba na mama yangu wakae kwako hadi hapo nitakapojua kitu gani ambacho Mungu atafanya kwa ajili yangu.”
And Dauid yede forth fro thennus in to Masphat, which is of Moab; and he seide to the kyng of Moab, Y preye, dwelle my fadir and my modir with you, til Y wite what thing God schal do to me.
4 Basi akawaacha kwa Mfalme wa Moabu. Baba na mama yake wakakaa na mfalme kwa muda wote ambao Daudi alikuwa kwenye ngome yake.
And he lefte hem bifor the face of the kyng of Moab; and thei dwelliden at hym in alle daies, `in whiche Dauid was in `the forselet, ether stronghold.
5 Kisha nabii Gadi akamwambia Daudi, “Usikae tena katika ngome yako. Ondoka na uende katika nchi ya Yuda.” Kwa hiyo Daudi akatoka hapo na akaenda katika msitu wa Harethi.
And Gad, the profete, seide to Dauid, Nyle thou dwelle in `the forselet; go thou forth, and go in to the lond of Juda. And Dauid yede forth, and cam in to the forest of Areth.
6 Sauli akasikia kwamba Daudi amepatikana, akiwa pamoja na watu aliokuwa nao. Wakati huo Sauli alikuwa akikaa Gibea chini ya mti wa mkwaju huko Rama, akiwa na mkuki wake mkononi mwake, na watumishi wake wote walikuwa wamesimama wamemzunguka.
And Saul herde, that Dauid apperide, and the men that weren with hym. Forsothe whanne Saul dwellide in Gabaa, and was in the wode which is in Rama, and `helde a spere in the hond, and alle hise seruauntis stoden aboute hym,
7 Sauli akawaambia watumishi wake, Sasa sikilizeni, watu wa Benyamini! Je, mwana wa Yese atawapa mashamba na mashamba ya mizabibu? Je, atawafanya nyote kuwa majemedari wa maelfu na majemedari wa mamia,
he seide to hise seruauntis that stoden nyy hym, The sones of Gemyny, here me now; whether the sone of Ysai schal yyue to alle you feeldis and vyneris, and schal make alle you tribunes and centuriouns?
8 hata ninyi nyote mnapanga njama dhidi yangu? Hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayenijulisha kwamba mwanangu anafanya agano na mwana wa Yese. Hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayenionea huruma. Hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayenijulisha kwamba mwanangu anamchochea mtumishi wangu Daudi awe kinyume changu. Leo mejificha na ananisubiri ili anishambulie.”
For alle ye han swore, ether conspirid, togidere ayens me, and noon is that tellith to me; moost sithen also my sone hath ioyned boond of pees with the sone of Ysai; noon is of you, that sorewith `for my stide, nether that tellith to me, for my sone hath reisid my seruaunt ayens me, settynge tresoun to me `til to dai.
9 Kisha Doegi Mwedomu, aliyesimama karibu na watumishi wa Sauli, akajibu, Nilimwona mwana wa Yese akienda Nobu, kwa Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubu.
Sotheli Doech of Ydumye answeride, that stood nyy, and was the firste among `the seruauntis of Saul, and seide, Y siy `the sone of Ysai in Nobe, at Achymelech, preest, the sone of Achitob;
10 Alimwomba BWANA ili apate kumsaidia, na alimpatia mahitaji na upanga wa Goliathi, Mfilisti”
which counseilide the Lord for Dauid, and yaf meetis `to hym, but also he yaf to Dauid the swerd of Goliath Filistei.
11 Kisha Mfalme akamtuma mtu amwite kuhani Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubu na watu wote wa nyumba ya baba yake, makuhani waliokuwa huko Nobu. Wote walifika mbele ya mfalme.
Therfor the kyng sente to clepe Achymelech, the preest, `the sone of Achitob, and al the hows of his fadir, of preestis that weren in Nobe; whiche alle camen to the kyng.
12 Sauli akasema, “Sasa sikiliza, mwana wa Ahitubu,” Naye akajibu, “Niko hapa, bwana wangu.”
And Saul seide to Achymelech, Here, thou sone of Achitob.
13 Sauli akamwambia, “Kwa nini unapanga njama dhidi yangu, wewe pamoja na mwana wa Yese, kwa kumpatia mikate, na upanga, na umemwomba Mungu kusudi amsaidie Daudi, kusudi aniasi mimi, na kujificha sehemu ya siri, kama alivyofanya leo?”
Which answeride, Lord, Y am redi. And Saul seide to hym, Whi hast thou conspirid ayens me, thou, and the sone of Ysai, and yauest looues and a swerd to hym, and councelidist the Lord for hym, that he schulde rise ayens me, and he dwellith a tretour `til to dai?
14 Ndipo Ahimeleki akamjibu mfalme na kusema, “Je, ni nani miongoni mwa watumishi wako wote aliyemwaminifu kama Daudi, ni nani mkwe wa mfalme na yuko juu ya walinzi wako, na mwenye heshima nyumbani mwako?
And Achymelech answeride to the kyng, and seide, And who among alle thi seruauntis is as Dauid feithful, and the sone in lawe `of the kyng, and goynge at thi comaundement, and gloriouse in thin hows?
15 Je, leo ni mara ya kwanza kwangu kumuomba Mungu apate kumsaidia? Hapana! Mfalme usinilaumu mimi mtumishi wako kwa jambo lolote wala jamaa zangu wote. Maana mimi mtumishi wako sijui lolote kuhusu kadhia hii.”
Whether Y bigan to dai to counsele the Lord for hym? Fer be this fro me; suppose not the kyng ayens his seruaunt `siche a thing in al `the hows of my fadir; for thi seruaunt knew not ony thing, ether litil ethir greet, of this cause.
16 Mfalme akamjibu, “Hakika utakufa, Ahimeleki, wewe na jamaa yote ya nyumba ya baba yako.”
And the kyng seide, Achymelech, thou schalt die bi deeth, thou, and al the hows of thi fadir.
17 Mfalme akamwambia mlinzi aliyesimama karibu naye, “Geuka na uwauwe makuhani wa BWANA. Kwa sababu wanamuunga mkono Daudi, na sababu walijua kwamba alikimbia, lakini hawakunijulisha.” Lakini watumishi wa mfalme hawakunyoosha mkono wao kuwaua makuhani wa BWANA.
And the kyng seide to men able to be sent out, that stoden aboute hym, Turne ye, and sle the preestis of the Lord, for the hond of hem is with Dauid; and thei wisten that he fledde, and thei schewiden not to me. Sotheli the seruauntis of the kyng nolden holde forth her hond in to the preestis of the Lord.
18 Ndipo mfalme akamwambia Doegi, “Geuka na uwauwe makuhani.” Hivyo Doegi Mwedomu akageuka na kuwapiga makuhani; akawaua watu themanini na watano waliovaa naivera ya kitani siku hiyo.
And the kyng seide to Doech, Turne thou, and hurle in to the preestis of the Lord. And Doech of Ydumee turnede, and hurlide in to the preestis, and stranglide in that dai foure score and fyue men, clothid with `ephoth of lynnun cloth.
19 Kwa ncha ya upanga, aliupiga Nobu, mji wa makuhani, akiwaua wanaume na wanawake, watoto na wanyonyao, ng'ombe na punda na kondoo. Wote aliwaua kwa ncha ya upanga.
Forsothe he smoot Nobe, the citee of preestis, by the scharpnesse of swerd, men and wymmen, litle children and soukynge, and oxe, and asse, and sheep, bi the scharpnesse of swerd.
20 Lakini mmoja wa wana wa Ahimeleki mwana wa Ahitubu, aliyeitwa Abiathari, aliponyoka na kukimbilia kwa Daudi.
Forsothe o sone of Achymelech, sone of Achitob, ascapide, of which sone the name was Abiathar; and he fledde to Dauid,
21 Abiathari akamwambia Daudi kwamba Sauli amewaua manabii wa BWANA.
and telde to hym that Saul hadde slayn the preestis of the Lord.
22 Daudi akamwambia Abiathari, “Nilifahamu kuwa siku hiyo, Doegi Mwedomu alikuwa mahali pale, kwamba hakika angemwambia Sauli. Nina wajibika kwa kifo cha kila mtu katika familia ya baba yako!
And Dauid seide to Abiathar, Sotheli Y wiste, `that is, Y coniectide, ether dredde, in that dai, that whanne Doech of Ydumee was there, he wolde telle with out doute to Saul; Y am gilti of alle the lyues of thi fadir.
23 Kaa pamoja nami na usiogope. Maana mtu anayetafuta roho yako anatafuta pia roho yangu. Utakuwa salama ukiwa pamoja nami.”
Dwelle thou with me, drede thou not; if ony man sekith thi lijf, he schal seke also my lijf, and thou schalt be kept with me.
