1 Samuel 22

1 Dafidi sì kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì sá sí ihò Adullamu; nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti ìdílé baba rẹ̀ sì gbọ́, wọ́n sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá níbẹ̀.

And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], and they went down thither to him.

2 Olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó tí wà nínú ìpọ́njú, àti olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó ti jẹ gbèsè, àti olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó wà nínú ìbànújẹ́, sì kó ara wọn jọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, òun sì jẹ́ olórí wọn; àwọn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì tó ìwọ̀n irinwó ọmọkùnrin.

And every one in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one of embittered spirit collected round him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.

3 Dafidi sì ti ibẹ̀ náà lọ sí Mispa tí Moabu: ó sì wí fún ọba Moabu pé, “Jẹ́ kí baba àti ìyá mi, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ wá bá ọ gbé, títí èmi yóò fi mọ ohun ti Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe fún mi.”

And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know what God will do for me.

4 Ó sì mú wọn wá síwájú ọba Moabu; wọ́n sì bá á gbé ní gbogbo ọjọ́ tí Dafidi fi wà nínú ihò náà.

And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.

5 Gadi wòlíì sí wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ma ṣe gbé inú ihò náà, yẹra, kí o sí lọ sí ilẹ̀ Juda.” Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sì yẹra, ó sì lọ sínú igbó Hereti.

And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

6 Saulu si gbọ́ pé a rí Dafidi àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀; Saulu sì ń bẹ ní Gibeah lábẹ́ igi tamariski ní Rama; ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì dúró tì í.

And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him.

7 Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó dúró tì í, pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ gbọ́ ẹ̀yin ará Benjamini, ọmọ Jese yóò ha fún olúkúlùkù yín ni oko ọgbà àjàrà bí? Kí ó sì sọ gbogbo yin dì olórí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti olórí ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún bí?

Then Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,

8 Tí gbogbo yín di ìmọ̀lù sí mi, tí kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó sọ létí mi pé, ọmọ mi ti bá ọmọ Jese mulẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kó sì sí ẹnìkan nínú yín tí ó ṣàánú mi, tí ó sì sọ ọ́ létí mi pé, ọmọ mi mú kí ìránṣẹ́ mi dìde sí mi láti ba dè mí, bí ó ti rí lónìí.”

that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made [a covenant] with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day?

9 Doegi ará Edomu tí a fi jẹ olórí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu, sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi rí ọmọ Jese, ó wá sí Nobu, sọ́dọ̀ Ahimeleki ọmọ Ahitubu.

Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

10 Òun sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa fún un, ó sì fún un ní oúnjẹ, ó sí fún un ni idà Goliati ará Filistini.”

And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

11 Ọba sì ránṣẹ́ pe Ahimeleki àlùfáà, ọmọ Ahitubu àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà tí ó wà ni Nobu: gbogbo wọn ni ó sì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba.

Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.

12 Saulu sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ gbọ́, ìwọ ọmọ Ahitubu.” Òun sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí olúwa mi.”

And Saul said, Hear now, son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

13 Saulu sì wí fún un pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ẹ̀yin fi ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi, ìwọ àti ọmọ Jese, tí ìwọ fi fún un ní àkàrà, àti idà, àti ti ìwọ fi béèrè fún un lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run kí òun lè dìde sí mi, láti ba dè mí, bí ó ti rí lónìí.”

And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day?

14 Ahimeleki sì dá ọba lóhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bí Dafidi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ àna ọba, ẹni tí ó ń gbọ́ tìrẹ, tí ó sì ni ọlá ní ilé rẹ.

And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy house?

15 Òní lèmi ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ máa béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run fún un bí? Kí èyí jìnnà sí mi: kí ọba má ṣe ka nǹkan kan sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́rùn, tàbí sí gbogbo ìdílé baba mi: nítorí pé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ kò mọ̀kan nínú gbogbo nǹkan yìí, díẹ̀ tàbí púpọ̀.”

Was it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

16 Ọba sì wí pé, “Ahimeleki, kíkú ni ìwọ yóò kú, ìwọ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀.”

And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.

17 Ọba sì wí fún àwọn aṣáájú ti máa ń sáré níwájú ọba, tí ó dúró tì í pé, “Yípadà kí ẹ sì pa àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa; nítorí pé ọwọ́ wọn wà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, àti nítorí pé wọ́n mọ ìgbà tí òun sá, wọn kò sì sọ ọ́ létí mi.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba kò sì jẹ́ fi ọwọ́ wọn lé àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa láti pa wọ́n.

And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.

18 Ọba sì wí fún Doegi pé, “Ìwọ yípadà, kí o sì pa àwọn àlùfáà!” Doegi ará Edomu sì yípadà, ó sì kọlu àwọn àlùfáà, ó sì pa wọ́n ní ọjọ́ náà, àrùnlélọ́gọ́rin ènìyàn ti ń wọ aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ efodu.

And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.

19 Ó sì fi ojú idà pa ara Nobu, ìlú àwọn àlùfáà náà àti ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́, àti àwọn tí ó wà lẹ́nu ọmú, àti màlúù, àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti àgùntàn.

And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

20 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Ahimeleki ọmọ Ahitubu tí a ń pè ní Abiatari sì bọ́; ó sì sá àsálà tọ Dafidi lọ.

And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

21 Abiatari sì fihan Dafidi pé Saulu pa àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa tán.

And Abiathar informed David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.

22 Dafidi sì wí fún Abiatari pé, “Èmi ti mọ̀ ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà tí Doegi ará Edomu ti wà níbẹ̀ pé, nítòótọ́ yóò sọ fún Saulu: nítorí mi ni a ṣe pa gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ.

And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy father's house.

23 Ìwọ jókòó níhìn-ín lọ́dọ̀ mi, má ṣe bẹ̀rù, nítorí pé ẹni ti ń wá ẹ̀mí mi, ó ń wá ẹ̀mí rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n lọ́dọ̀ mi ni ìwọ ó wà ní àìléwu.”

Abide with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; for with me thou art in safe keeping.
