1 ౧ సౌలు ఫిలిష్తీయులను తరమడం మానుకుని తిరిగి వెళ్ళాక, దావీదు ఏన్గెదీ అరణ్య ప్రాంతంలో ఉన్నాడని అతనికి కబురు వచ్చింది.
၁ရှောလုသည်ဖိလိတ္တိအမျိုးသားတို့နှင့်စစ် တိုက်ရာမှပြန်လည်ရောက်ရှိလာသောအခါ အင်္ဂေဒိမြို့အနီးရှိတောကန္တာရတွင်ဒါဝိဒ် ရှိနေကြောင်းကြားလျှင်၊-
2 ౨ అప్పుడు సౌలు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరిలో నుండి మూడు వేల మందిని ఏర్పరచుకుని వచ్చి, కొండమేకలు ఉండే రాతి కొండల మీద దావీదును అతని అనుచరులను వెదకడానికి బయలుదేరాడు.
၂ဣသရေလလက်ရွေးစင်စစ်သည်တော်သုံး ထောင်ကိုခေါ်၍ ဆိတ်ရိုင်းများနေရာကျောက် ဆောင်များတွင် ဒါဝိဒ်နှင့်အပေါင်းပါတို့ အားရှာဖွေရန်ထွက်ခွာသွားတော်မူသည်။-
3 ౩ దారిలో గొర్రెల దొడ్లకు అతడు వస్తే అక్కడ ఒక గుహ కనిపించింది. సౌలు మూత్ర విసర్జన కోసం వెళితే, దావీదు, అతని అనుచరులు ఆ గుహ లోపలి భాగంలో ఉన్నారు.
၃မင်းကြီးသည်လမ်းအနီးရှိသိုးခြံများ အနားမှာဂူတစ်ခုကိုတွေ့သဖြင့် ကိုယ်လက် သုတ်သင်ရန်ဝင်တော်မူ၏။ ထိုဂူကားအခြား မဟုတ်၊ အတွင်းပိုင်းတွင်ဒါဝိဒ်တို့လူစု ပုန်းအောင်းနေသည့်ဂူပင်ဖြစ်သည်။
4 ౪ దావీదు అనుచరులు “నీ దృష్టికి ఏది మంచిదో అది చేసేందుకు నీ శత్రువుని నీ చేతికి అప్పగిస్తానని యెహోవా నీతో చెప్పిన రోజు వచ్చింది” అని అతనితో చెప్పారు. దావీదు లేచి వెళ్ళి సౌలుకు తెలియకుండా అతని పైవస్త్రపు చెంగును కోశాడు.
၄ဒါဝိဒ်၏လူတို့က``ထာဝရဘုရားသည်ရန် သူအား အရှင်၏လက်သို့ပေးအပ်တော်မူမည် ဟူ၍လည်းကောင်း၊ သူ့အားအရှင်အလိုရှိ သလိုပြုနိုင်လိမ့်မည်ဟူ၍လည်းကောင်း မိန့် တော်မူခဲ့သည့်အတိုင်းယခုအရှင်အခွင့် ကောင်းကြုံပါပြီ'' ဟုဆိုကြ၏။ ဒါဝိဒ်သည် ရှောလုရှိရာသို့သွားကာ ရှောလု၏ဝတ်လုံ ကိုတိတ်တဆိတ်လှီးဖြတ်လိုက်၏။-
5 ౫ సౌలు పై వస్రాన్ని కోసినందుకు దావీదు మనస్సులో నొచ్చుకుని,
၅သို့ရာတွင်ယင်းသို့ပြုမိသည့်အတွက် ဒါဝိဒ် လိပ်ပြာမသန့်ဖြစ်လာ၏။-
6 ౬ “ఇతడు యెహోవా చేత అభిషేకం పొందినవాడు కాబట్టి యెహోవా చేత అభిషిక్తుడైన నా రాజు పట్ల నేను ఈ పని చేయను, యెహోవాను బట్టి నేను అతణ్ణి చంపను” అని తన వారితో చెప్పాడు.
၆ထို့ကြောင့်မိမိ၏လူတို့အား``ထာဝရဘုရား ဘိသိက်ပေးတော်မူသောဘုရင်၊ ငါ၏သခင် အားဘေးအန္တရာယ်မပြုမိစေရန်ထာဝရ ဘုရားသည်ငါ့ကိုဆီးတားတော်မူပါစေ သော။ မင်းကြီးသည်ထာဝရဘုရားဘိသိက် ပေးတော်မူသောဘုရင်ဖြစ်သဖြင့် ငါသည်သူ့ အားစိုးစဉ်းမျှဘေးအန္တရာယ်မပြုအပ်'' ဟု ဆို၏။-
7 ౭ ఈ మాటలు చెప్పి దావీదు సౌలు మీదికి వెళ్ళకుండా తన వారిని అడ్డగించాడు. తరువాత సౌలు లేచి గుహలో నుండి బయలుదేరి తన దారిన వెళ్ళిపోయాడు.
၇သို့ဖြစ်၍ရှောလုအားတိုက်ခိုက်ရန်မသင့် ကြောင်း မိမိ၏လူတို့ကိုဒါဝိဒ်ကကောင်း စွာနားလည်သဘောပေါက်စေလေသည်။ ရှောလုသည်ထ၍ဂူမှထွက်သွားလေ၏။-
8 ౮ అప్పుడు దావీదు లేచి గుహలో నుండి బయటికి వచ్చి “నా యజమానీ, రాజా” అని వెనుక నుండి కేకవేస్తే, సౌలు వెనక్కి చూశాడు. దావీదు నేలపై పడి సాష్టాంగ నమస్కారం చేసి
၈ထိုအခါဒါဝိဒ်သည်လိုက်၍ထွက်ပြီးလျှင်``အ ရှင်မင်းကြီး'' ဟုဟစ်ခေါ်လိုက်၏။ ရှောလုလှည့် ၍ကြည့်သောအခါဒါဝိဒ်သည်ရိုသေစွာ မြေပေါ်တွင်ဦးညွှတ်ပျပ်ဝပ်လျက်၊-
9 ౯ సౌలుతో ఇలా అన్నాడు “దావీదు నీకు కీడుచేయాలని చూస్తున్నాడని కొందరు చెబుతున్న మాటలు నువ్వు ఎందుకు వింటున్నావు?
၉ဤသို့လျှောက်တင်၏။ ``အကျွန်ုပ်သည်အရှင့် အားဘေးအန္တရာယ်ပြုရန်ကြိုးစားနေသည် ဟု လူတို့ပြောဆိုကြသောစကားကိုအရှင် အဘယ်ကြောင့်ယုံတော်မူပါသနည်း။-
10 ౧౦ ఆలోచించు. ఈ రోజున యెహోవా నిన్ను గుహలో నా చేతికి ఎలా అప్పగించాడో నీ కళ్ళారా చూశావు కదా. కొంతమంది నిన్ను చంపేయమని నాకు చెప్పినప్పటికీ నేనలా చెయ్యలేదు. ‘ఇతడు యెహోవా వలన అభిషేకం పొందిన వాడు కాబట్టి నా ఏలినవాడిపై చెయ్యి ఎత్తను’ అని చెప్పాను.
၁၀ယခုပင်လျှင်ထာဝရဘုရားသည်အရှင့် အား အကျွန်ုပ်၏လက်သို့အပ်တော်မူခဲ့ကြောင်း အရှင်ကိုယ်တိုင်သိမြင်နိုင်ပါ၏။ အကျွန်ုပ်၏ လူအချို့တို့ကအရှင့်အားအသတ်ခိုင်း ကြပါ၏။ သို့ရာတွင်အကျွန်ုပ်သည်အရှင် ၏အတွက်စိတ်မကောင်းဖြစ်သဖြင့် အရှင့် ကိုစိုးစဉ်းမျှဘေးအန္တရာယ်မပြုလိုပါ။ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော် အရှင်သည်ထာဝရ ဘုရားဘိသိက်ပေးတော်မူသောဘုရင် ဖြစ်သောကြောင့်ဖြစ်ပါ၏။-
11 ౧౧ నా తండ్రీ, చూడు. నిన్ను చంపకుండా నీ బట్ట చెంగును మాత్రమే కోశాను. దీన్ని బట్టి నా వల్ల నీకు ఎలాంటి కీడూ రాదనీ నాలో ఎలాంటి తప్పూ లేదనీ నువ్వు తెలుసుకోవచ్చు. నీ విషయంలో నేను ఏ పాపమూ చేయకుండా ఉంటే నువ్వు నా ప్రాణం తీయాలని నన్ను తరుముతున్నావు.
၁၁အကျွန်ုပ်၏ခမည်းတော်၊ ဤမှာကြည့်တော် မူပါ။ အကျွန်ုပ်ကိုင်ထားသည့်အရှင့်ဝတ်လုံစ ကိုကြည့်ရှုတော်မူပါ။ အကျွန်ုပ်သည်အရှင့် အားသတ်ဖြတ်နိုင်ခွင့်ရရှိခဲ့သော်လည်း ဤ ဝတ်လုံစကိုသာလျှင်လှီးဖြတ်ခဲ့ပါ၏။ အရှင့် အားပုန်ကန်ရန်သော်လည်းကောင်း၊ ဘေးအန္တရာယ် ပြုရန်သော်လည်းကောင်း အကျွန်ုပ်မကြံရွယ် ကြောင်းကိုဤအချက်အားဖြင့် အရှင်မင်း ကြီးကောင်းစွာနားလည်သဘောပေါက်သင့် ပါ၏။ အကျွန်ုပ်သည်အရှင့်အားအဘယ်သို့ မျှမပြစ်မှားခဲ့သော်လည်း အရှင်သည် အကျွန်ုပ်ကိုသတ်ရန်လိုက်လံဖမ်းဆီး လျက်နေပါ၏။-
12 ౧౨ నీకూ నాకూ మధ్య యెహోవా న్యాయం తీరుస్తాడు. యెహోవా నా విషయంలో పగ సాధిస్తాడు. నేను మాత్రం నిన్ను చంపను.

13 ౧౩ పితరులు సామెత చెప్పినట్టు దుర్మార్గుల నుండి దుర్మార్గత పుడుతుంది. అయితే నేను నిన్ను చంపను.
၁၃`ယုတ်မာမှုကိုယုတ်မာသူတို့သာလျှင်ပြု ကျင့်တတ်၏' ဟူသောရှေးစကားပုံကိုအရှင် သိတော်မူပါ၏။ သို့ဖြစ်၍အကျွန်ုပ်သည် အရှင့်အားဘေးအန္တရာယ်ပြုလိမ့်မည် မဟုတ်ပါ။-
14 ౧౪ ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల రాజు ఎవని పట్టుకోవాలని బయలుదేరి వచ్చాడు? ఏ పాటి వాణ్ణి తరుముతున్నాడు? చచ్చిన కుక్కనా? పురుగునా?

18 ౧౮ ఈ రోజున నువ్వు అపకారానికి ఉపకారం చేసి, నా పట్ల నీకున్న ఉపకార బుద్ధిని వెల్లడి చేశావు. నువ్వు నాకంటే నీతిమంతుడివి.
