1 Samweli 26
1 Wazifi wakamwendea Sauli huko Gibea na kusema, “Je, Daudi akujificha katika vilima vya Hakila, ambavyo viko mbele ya jangwa?”
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 Kisha Sauli akaamka na kwenda chini ya jangwa la Zifu, akiwa na watu elfu tatu waliochaguliwa katika Israeli, wamtafute Daudi katika jangwa la Zifu.
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 akaweka kambi kwenye kilima cha Hakila, kilicho mbele ya jangwa, kando ya barabara. Lakini Daudi alikuwa akikaa nyikani, na akaona kwamba Sauli alikuwa anamfuatia huko jangwani.
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 Hivyo Daudi akawatuma wapelelezi na akafahamu kwamba hakika Sauli alikuwa amekuja.
and Dauid sente aspieris, and lernede moost certeynli, that Saul hadde come thidur.
5 Daudi akaamka na kwenda hadi mahali ambapo Sauli alipiga kambi; akaona mahali alipolala Sauli, na Abneri mwana wa Neri, mkuu wa jeshi lake; Sauli alilala katikati ya kambi, na watu walipiga kambi kumzunguka, na wote wamesinzia.
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 Ndipo Daudi akamwambia Ahimeleki Mhiti, na Abishai mwana wa Seruya, ndugu yake Yoabu, “Ni nani atakwenda nami kambini kwa Sauli? Abishai akasema, “Mimi nitashuka 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 wakaliendea jeshi usiku. Na Sauli alikuwapo akisinzia ndani ya kambi, mkuki wake umechomekwa chini pembeni mwa kichwa chake. Abneri na Askari wake wamelala kwa kumzunguka.
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 Kisha Abishai akamwambia Daudi, “Leo Mungu amemweka adui yako mkononi mwako. Basi tafadhali acha nimchome mkuki nimtoboe hadi chini kwa pigo moja. Sitampiga 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 Daudi akamwambia Abishai, “Usimwangamize; kwa maana nani awezaye kunyoosha mkono wake dhidi ya mtiwa 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, “Kama BWANA aishivyo, BWANA atamuua, au siku ya kufa kwake itakuja, au atakwenda katika vita na ataangamia.
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 BWANA apishe mbali nisinyooshe mkono wangu dhidi ya mtiwa mafuta wake; lakini sasa, nakusihi chukua mkuki uliokichwani pake na jagi la maji, 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 mkuki na jagi la maji kutoka kichwani pa Daudi, wakatoweka. Hakuna mtu aliyewaona au kufahamu habari hii, wala hakuna aliyetoka usingizini, maana wote walisinzia, kwa sababu usingizi mzito kutoka kwa BWANA uliwaangukia.
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 akaenda upande mwingine na akasimama juu ya mlima mbali sana; ukiwepo umbali mkubwa katikati 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 akawapigia kelele watu hao na Abneri mwana Neri; akisema, “Hujibu neno, Abneri?” Ndipo Abneri akajibu na kusema, “Wewe ni nani unayempigia mfalme kelele?”
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 akamwambia Abneri, “Wewe siye mtu jasiri? Ni nani yuko kama wewe katika Israeli? Kwa nini basi hukukaa macho kumlinda bwana wako mfalme? Kwa maana mtu fulani aliingia kumuua 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 Jambo hili ulilolifanya siyo zuri. Kama BWANA aishivyo, unapaswa kufa kwa sababu hukumlinda bwana wako, mtiwa mafuta wa BWANA. Na sasa tazama ulipo mkuki wa mfalme, na jagi la maji lililokuwa kichwani pake.”
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 aliitambua sauti ya Daudi akasema, “Hiyo ni sauti yako, Daudi mwanangu?” Daudi akasema, “Ni sauti yangu, mfalme, bwana wangu.”
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 Daudi akasema, “Kwa nini bwana wangu anamwandama mtumishi wake? Nimefanya nini? Mkononi mwangu kuna uovu gani?
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 Kwa hiyo sasa, nakusihi, bwana wangu mfalme asikilize maneno ya mtumishi wake. Kama ni BWANA ndiye amekuchochea dhidi yangu, na aikubali sadaka; lakini kama ni wanadamu, na walaaniwe mbele za BWANA, maana leo wamenifukuza, nisishikamane na urithi wa BWANA; wameniambia, 'Nenda ukaabudu 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 Kwa hiyo, sasa, usiiachilie damu yangu ianguke ardhini mbali na uwepo wa BWANA; kwa kuwa mfalme wa Israeli ametoka nje kutafuta kiroboto, kama vile mtu awindavyo kware milimani.”
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 Kisha Sauli akasema, “Nimefanya dhambi. Rudi, Mwanangu, Daudi; maana sitakudhuru tena, kwa sababu leo maisha yangu yalikuwa yenye thamani machoni pako. Tazama, nimetenda upumbavu 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 na akasema, “Tazama, mkuki wako uko hapa, mfalme! Mruhusu kijana mmojawapo aje auchukue na aulete kwako.
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 Na BWANA amlipe kila mtu kwa ajili ya uadilifu wake na kwa uaminifu wake; kwa sababu leo BWANA alikuweka mkononi mwangu, lakini nisinge mpiga mtiwa mafuta wake.
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 Na tazama, kama maisha yako leo yalivyokuwa ya thamani machoni pangu, vivyo hivyo maisha yangu yathaminiwe sana machoni pa BWANA, na aweze kuniokoa katika shida 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, “Na ubarikiwe, mwanangu Daudi, ili uweze kutenda mambo makuu, na hakika uweze kufanikiwa.” Ndipo Daudi akaenda zake, na Sauli akarudi kwake.
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.
