1 Samuel 18
1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti parí ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ń bá Saulu sọ, ọkàn Jonatani di ọ̀kan pẹ̀lú ti Dafidi, ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ̀.
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Láti ọjọ́ náà Saulu pa Dafidi mọ́ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ kò sì jẹ́ kí ó padà sí ilé baba rẹ̀ mọ́.
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 Jonatani bá Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú nítorí tí ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ̀.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 Jonatani sì bọ́ aṣọ ìgúnwà, ó sì fi fun Dafidi pẹ̀lú aṣọ àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ àti pẹ̀lú idà rẹ̀, ọrun rẹ̀ àti àmùrè rẹ̀.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
5 Ohunkóhun tí Saulu bá rán an láti ṣe, Dafidi máa ṣe ní àṣeyọrí, Saulu náà sì fun un ní ipò tí ó ga jù láàrín àwọn ológun. Eléyìí sì tẹ́ gbogbo ènìyàn lọ́rùn, àti pẹ̀lú ó sì tẹ́ àwọn ìjòyè Saulu lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú.
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
6 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn padà sí ilé lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti pa Filistini, gbogbo àwọn obìnrin tú jáde láti inú ìlú Israẹli wá láti pàdé ọba Saulu pẹ̀lú orin àti ijó, pẹ̀lú orin ayọ̀ àti tambori àti ohun èlò orin olókùn.
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 Bí wọ́n ṣe ń jó, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń kọrin pé, “Saulu pa ẹgbẹ̀rún tirẹ̀ Dafidi sì pa ẹgbẹẹgbàárún ní tirẹ̀.”
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
8 Saulu sì bínú gidigidi, ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì korò létí rẹ̀ pé, “Wọ́n ti gbé ògo fún Dafidi pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹẹgbàárún,” ó sì wí pé, “ṣùgbọ́n èmi pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún kan. Kí ni ó kù kí ó gbà bí kò ṣe ìjọba?”
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
9 Láti ìgbà náà lọ ni Saulu ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ojú ìlara wo Dafidi.
Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
10 Ní ọjọ́ kejì ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá pẹ̀lú agbára sórí Saulu, ó sì sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní ilé rẹ̀ nígbà tí Dafidi sì ń fọn ohun èlò orin olókùn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti máa ń ṣe láti ẹ̀yìn wá, Saulu sì ní ọ̀kọ̀ kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 Ó sì gbé e sókè, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò gún Dafidi pọ̀ mọ́ ògiri.” Ṣùgbọ́n, Dafidi yẹ̀ fún un lẹ́ẹ̀méjì.
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
12 Saulu sì ń bẹ̀rù Dafidi nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, ṣùgbọ́n ó ti fi Saulu sílẹ̀.
Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 Ó sì lé Dafidi jáde ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi jẹ olórí ogun ẹgbẹ̀rún kan, Dafidi ń kó wọn lọ, ó ń kó wọn bọ̀ nínú ìgbòkègbodò ogun.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Dafidi sì ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n ní gbogbo ìṣe rẹ̀, nítorí tí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
15 Nígbà tí Saulu rí bi àṣeyọrí rẹ̀ ti tó, ó sì bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda ni wọ́n fẹ́ràn Dafidi, nítorí ó darí wọn lọ ní ìgbòkègbodò ogun wọn.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 Saulu wí fún Dafidi pé, “Èyí ni àgbà nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin mi Merabu. Èmi yóò fi òun fún ọ ní aya. Kí ìwọ sìn mí bí akọni, kí o sì máa ja ogun Olúwa.” Nítorí tí Saulu wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kì yóò gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè sí i. Jẹ́ kí àwọn Filistini ṣe èyí.”
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
18 Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi wí fún Saulu pé, “Ta ni mí, kí sì ni ìdílé mi tàbí ìdílé baba mi ní Israẹli, tí èmi yóò di àna ọba?”
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
19 Nígbà tí àkókò tó fún Merabu, ọmọbìnrin Saulu, láti fi fún Dafidi, ni a sì fi fún Adrieli ará Mehola ní aya.
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 Nísinsin yìí ọmọbìnrin Saulu Mikali sì fẹ́ràn Dafidi, nígbà tí wọ́n sọ fún Saulu nípa rẹ̀, ó sì dùn mọ́ ọn.
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Ó sọ nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò fi fún un kí òun ba à le jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn fún un, kí ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini lè wà lára rẹ̀.” Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún Dafidi pé, “Nísinsin yìí ìwọ ní àǹfààní eléyìí láti jẹ́ àna án mi.”
And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
22 Saulu pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ sọ fún Dafidi ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, kí ẹ sì wí pé, ‘Wò ó, inú ọba dùn sí ọ, gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fẹ́ràn rẹ, nísinsin yìí jẹ́ àna ọba.’”
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
23 Wọ́n tún ọ̀rọ̀ náà sọ fún Dafidi. Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi wí pé, “Ṣé ẹ rò pé ohun kékeré ni láti jẹ́ àna ọba? Mo jẹ́ tálákà ènìyàn àti onímọ̀ kékeré.”
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
24 Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu sọ fún un ohun tí Dafidi sọ,
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
25 Saulu dáhùn pé, “Sọ fún Dafidi pé, ‘Ọba kò fẹ́ owó orí láti ọ̀dọ̀ àna rẹ̀ ju awọ iwájú orí ọgọ́rùn-ún Filistini lọ láti fi gba ẹ̀san lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’” Èrò Saulu ni wí pé kí Dafidi ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sọ àwọn nǹkan yìí fún Dafidi, inú rẹ̀ dùn láti di àna ọba kí àkókò tí ó dá tó kọjá,
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
27 Dafidi àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ jáde lọ wọ́n sì pa igba lára àwọn Filistini. Ó kó awọ iwájú orí wọn wá, ó sì pé iye tí ọba fẹ́ kí ó ba à lè jẹ́ àna ọba. Saulu sì fi ọmọ obìnrin Mikali fún un ní aya.
and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
28 Nígbà tí Saulu sì wá mọ̀ pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi tí ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ Mikali sì fẹ́ràn Dafidi,
When Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
29 Saulu sì tún wá bẹ̀rù Dafidi síwájú àti síwájú, Saulu sì wá di ọ̀tá Dafidi fún gbogbo ọjọ́ rẹ̀ tókù.
then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé Filistini tún tẹ̀síwájú láti lọ sí ogun, ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n lọ, Dafidi ṣe àṣeyọrí ju gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu lọ, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì gbilẹ̀.
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
