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.

David therefore departed thence, and escaped, into the cave of Adullam, —and, when his brethren and all the household of his father heard it, they went down unto him, thither.

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 there gathered themselves unto him—every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one embittered in soul, and he came to be over them as a prince, —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 departed thence, to Mizpah of Moab, —and said unto the king of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother dwell with you, until that 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.

So he set them before the king of Moab, —and they dwelt with him, all the days that David was in the fortress.

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.

Then said Gad the prophet unto David—Thou must not abide in the fortress, go and get thee into the land of Judah. So David departed, and entered the forest of Hereth.

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, when Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him—Saul, being seated in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants stationed 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 said Saul unto his servants who were stationed by him—Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites! What! even to all of you, will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards? All of you, will he appoint to be princes of thousands, and princes 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 ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none to uncover mine ear as to the covenanting of my son with the son of Jesse? And none from among you that taketh pity upon me, and that uncovereth mine ear [to this], —that, mine own son, hath stirred up, my servants, against me, to lie in wait, 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—he, being stationed near the servants of Saul—and said, —I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech 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.”

Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him, —and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.

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, son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father—the priests, who were in Nob, —and they came, all of them, unto the king.

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

And Saul said, Hear, I pray thee, thou son of Ahitub! And he said—Behold me! 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 unto him, Wherefore have ye conspired against me, thou, and the son of Jesse, —in that thou gavest him bread and a sword, and didst enquire for him of God, that he might rise up against me, that he might lie 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.

Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, —But who, among all thy servants, like David, is, faithful, being son-in-law to the king, and, cometh near to have audience with thee, and is, honoured in thy household?

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.”

Did I, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth 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, die, Ahimelech, —thou and all the household of thy father.

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 unto the runners that were stationed by him—Turn ye round and put to death the priests of Yahweh, because, their hand also, is with David, and because they knew that he was, in flight, and unveiled not mine ear. But the servants of the king were not willing to thrust forth their hand, to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.

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.

Then said the king to Doeg, Turn, thou, and fall upon the priests. So Doeg the Edomite turned, and, himself, fell upon the priests, and put to death, that day, four score and five men bearing an ephod of linen;

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.

Nob also, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children 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.

But there escaped one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, whose, name, was Abiathar, —and he fled after David.

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

So Abiathar told David, —that Saul had slain the priests of Yahweh.

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.

Then said David to Abiathar—I knew, that day, when Doeg the Edomite was, there, that he would, surely tell, Saul. I, am chargeable with all the lives of the house of thy father.

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! do not fear, for, whoso seeketh my life, seeketh thy life, —for, in safeguard, shall thou be, with me.
