1 Şamuelin 24
1 Şaul Filiştinaaşikar qihna girxhu, mançe yıq'əlqa qöömee, mang'uk'le eyhen: – Davud En-Gedi eyhene sahree vor.
After Saul [and his soldiers] returned [home] after fighting against the Philistia army, someone reported to Saul that David [and his men] had gone into the desert near En-Gedi.
2 Şaulee İzrailğançe xhebıd aazır yugra sıc'ekvana insan cuka qort'ul, Davudıy mang'un insanar t'abal haa'asva suvayn ts'e'bı uxiyxhanne suvabışeeqa hayk'an.
[When] Saul [heard that, he] chose 3,000 men from various areas in Israel, and they went to search for David and his men at a place named Rocks of Wild Goats.
3 Mana qaraylena yəqqı'ne mıglekne vəq'əbı akkya'ane cigaysqa. Maa'ab mang'uk'le mağara g'avcu, g'eline yəqqı'sva maqa ikkeç'e. Davudıy mang'un insanarıb mane mağaree aqana gyuv'ur vooxhe.
At a place where the road was alongside some sheep pens, Saul [left the road and] entered a cave to defecate [EUP]. [He did not know that] David and his men were hiding further inside that same cave!
4 Davudne insanaaşe mang'uk'le eyhen: – Rəbbee vak'le eyhen yiğ haane: «Yiğna duşman yiğne xılyaqa qeles, vas hucooyiy ıkkan he'e». Davud dyugulenra Şaulusqa qıxha mang'une tanalinçın siv gyadaxa.
David’s men [saw Saul and] whispered to David, “Today is the day that Yahweh spoke about when he said, ‘I will enable you to defeat your enemy.’ You can do to him whatever you want to!” So David crept toward the entrance of the cave and [with his knife] he cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
5 Şaulne tanalinçın siv gyatxıva, Davudun mang'uqa yik' gyoyxhan.
[And then he returned to his men]. But then David felt guilty for having cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
6 Mang'vee cune insanaaşik'le eyhen: – Rəbbee g'əyxiyne yizde xərıng'ulqa xıl g'ot'ul məxbına iş hav'uy Rəbbee zake əq'əna qee'ecen. Mana nya'a, Rəbbee g'əyxı'na dişde vor?
He said to his men, “I should not have done that to the king! I hope/desire that Yahweh will never allow me to attack the one whom God has appointed, because Yahweh is the one who chose him [to be the king].”
7 Məxüd uvhu Davudee cune insanaaşin ögü ı'xı', Şaululqa k'yumootalcenva. Şaulur mağareençe qığeç'u cune yəqqı'n ayk'an.
By saying that, David restrained his men, and did not allow them to kill Saul.
8 Mançile qiyğa Davud, Şauluqa qihna mağareençe qığeç'u, mang'ulqa onu'u eyhen: – Yizda xərna, paççah! Şaul sak'ı yı'q'əlqa ilyakkımee, Davud mang'us aq'va ç'iyek qet'asmee k'yoyzarna.
After Saul left the cave and started to walk on the road again, David came out of the cave and shouted to Saul, “King Saul!” Saul turned around and looked, and David bowed down with his face touching the ground.
9 Mang'vee Şauluk'le eyhen: – «Davudus yiğın yugun ıkkan deşva» eyhene insanaaşine cuvabıl nya'a ğu k'ırı iliyxhe?
Then he said to Saul, “(Why do you pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’?/You should not pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’.) [RHQ]
10 G'iyna vak'le yiğne uleka g'acu, Rəbbee ğu mağaree yizde xılyaqa quvu. Zı ittunçiliy aqqaqqa, ğu gik'ecenva, yizdamee valqa rəhı'm qabı. Zı manbışik'le uvhuyn «Zı yizde xərıng'ulqa xıl g'ot'alas deş, mana Rəbbee g'əyxı'na paççah vorna».
Today you can see with your own eyes that [what they say is not true]. Yahweh put you in a place where my men and I could have killed you when you were in this cave. Some of my men told me that I should do that, but I did not do that. I said to them, ‘I will not harm my master, because he is the king whom Yahweh appointed.’
11 Dek, haane ilekke, yizde xılene yiğne tanalinçine siveqa. Yiğne tanalinçin siv gyatxeeyid, zı ğu gik'u deş. Vak'le g'ace, ats'axhxhe, vas qəlasın ha'asıd, valqa insanar g'elil qaa'asıb yizde xılençe qöö deş. Zı yiğne ögil bınah hav'u deş, vas meer zı gik'as ıkkan.
Your majesty, look at this piece of your robe that is in my hand! I cut it from your robe, but I did not kill you. So now you should be able to understand that I am not planning to do anything evil to you. I have not done anything wrong to you, but you are searching for me to kill me.
12 Zasiy vas Haakim hasre Rəbb Vuc ixhecen! Zal-alla hasre Mang'vee vakın he'ecen. Zı valqa xıl g'ot'alas deş.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge and decide which of us ([is doing what is right/pleases him]). And I hope/desire that he will punish you for the wrong things that you have done to me. But I will not try to harm you.
13 Avaala inəxüdniyxhe eyhen: «Qəlnang'vee qəlasın ha'a». Mançil-allad zı valqa xıl g'ot'alas deş.
There is a proverb that has the words, ‘Evil things are done by evil people.’ But [I am not evil, so] I will not do evil things to you.
14 Şavulqayiy İzrailyna paççah ı'qqə? Ğu şavuqa qihnane girxhu? Qivk'una xvaane g'ohooşe, deşxhee, genane?
“You are the king of Israel. So (why are you pursuing me?/you should not be pursuing me.) [RHQ] I am [as harmless as] [MET] a dead dog or a flea.
15 Zasiy vas haakimiyvalla havaasre Rəbbee Vucee hee'ecen. Hasre Mana Vuc ilekkecen yizde işiqa. Hasre Rəbbee, Vuce zı yiğne xıleençe g'attixhan hı'ı, zı qorkurava hagvecen.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge which of us [is doing what (he wants/is right)]. I trust that he will [act like a lawyer and] judge (my case/what I have done), and that he will rescue me from your power [MTY].”
16 Davudee man uvhu ç'əvxhamee, Şaulee qiyghanan: – Yizda dix Davud, yuşan ha'ana mana ğune vor? Manıd qiyghın, Şaul axtıra geşşe giyğal.
When David finished speaking, Saul [called out to him and] asked, “My son David, is that your voice [that I am hearing]?” Then he began to cry loudly.
17 Qiyğa mang'vee Davuduk'le eyhen: – Zı ğu xhinne qorkuna deş vor, zı vas yugvalla hidyaa'ameeyib, ğu zas yugvalla hav'u.
He said, “You are a better man than I am. You have done something very good to me when I tried to do something very bad to you.
18 Ğu g'iynar zaka yugra ıxha, Rəbbee, zı yiğne xılyaqa quvuyng'ar, ğu zı gik'u deş.
When Yahweh put me in a place [in that cave] where you could have easily killed me, you did not do that.
19 Şavaa cuna duşman aveykımee, vuççud hidyı'ı, g'ekkayiy? Hasre ğu g'iyna zak hı'iynçil-alla, Rəbbee vas yugun helecen.
(Who else would/No one else would) find his enemy and allow his enemy to escape [when he could kill him instead] [RHQ]. I hope/desire that Yahweh will reward you for being kindly to me today.
20 Zak'le ats'an, vake İzrailyna paççah ixhes. İzrailyna paççahiyvalla yiğne xılyaqa ılğevç'umee, ğu mana xılya'ab it'umba avqas.
I know that [some day] you will surely become the king, and that your kingdom will prosper as you rule the Israeli people.
21 Zale qiyğa yizda nasıl g'itsdyaak'vanasva, zake g'abıynbı gidyapt'asva, həşde ğu zas Rəbbilen k'ın g'assre.
Now while Yahweh is listening, solemnly promise to me that you will not kill my family and get rid of all my descendants.”
22 Davudee, Şaulus k'ın g'iysar. Mançile qiyğa Şaul ayk'anna cune xaaqa. Davudıy cun insanarıb xıl hidixharasde cigeeqa ılqeebaç'e.
David solemnly promised Saul that he would not [harm Saul’s family]. Then Saul went back home, and David and his men went back up into the place where they had been hiding.
