1 Samuel 30
1 Ó sì ṣe nígbà ti Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì bọ̀ sí Siklagi ní ọjọ́ kẹta, àwọn ará Amaleki sì ti kọlu ìhà gúúsù, àti Siklagi, wọ́n sì ti kùn ún ní iná.
Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
2 Wọ́n sì kó àwọn obìnrin tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀ ní ìgbèkùn, wọn kò sì pa ẹnìkan, ọmọdé tàbí àgbà, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kó wọn lọ, wọ́n sì bá ọ̀nà tiwọn lọ.
They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
3 Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin sì wọ ìlú Siklagi, sì wò ó, a ti kùn ún ni iná; àti obìnrin wọn, àti ọmọkùnrin wọn àti ọmọbìnrin wọn ni a kó ni ìgbèkùn lọ.
When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
4 Dafidi àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì sọkún títí agbára kò fi sí fún wọn mọ́ láti sọkún.
David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
5 A sì kó àwọn aya Dafidi méjèèjì nígbèkùn lọ, Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli àti Abigaili aya Nabali ará Karmeli.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
6 Dafidi sì banújẹ́ gidigidi, nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn náà sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti sọ ọ́ lókùúta, nítorí ti inú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì bàjẹ́, olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, àti nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi mú ara rẹ̀ lọ́kàn le nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
7 Dafidi sì wí fún Abiatari àlùfáà, ọmọ Ahimeleki pé, èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, mú efodu fún mi wá níhìn-ín yìí. Abiatari sì mú efodu náà wá fún Dafidi.
David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
8 Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa wí pé, “Kí èmi ó lépa ogun yìí bi? Èmi lè bá wọn?” Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Lépa, nítorí pé ni bíbá ìwọ yóò bá wọn, ni gbígbà ìwọ yóò sì rí wọn gbà.”
and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi àti ẹgbẹ̀ta ọmọkùnrin tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì wá sí ibi àfonífojì Besori, apá kan sì dúró.
So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
10 Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi àti irinwó ọmọkùnrin lépa wọn: igba ènìyàn tí àárẹ̀ mú, tiwọn kò lè kọjá odò Besori sì dúró lẹ́yìn.
David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
11 Wọ́n sì rí ará Ejibiti kan ní oko, wọ́n sì mú un tọ Dafidi wá, wọ́n sì fún un ní oúnjẹ, ó sì jẹ; wọ́n sì fún un ní omi mu.
[As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
12 Wọ́n sì fún un ní àkàrà, èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti síírí àjàrà gbígbẹ́ méjì: nígbà tí ó sì jẹ ẹ́ tán, ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ sì sọjí: nítorí pé kò jẹ oúnjẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu omi ní ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ní ọ̀sán, àti ní òru.
They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
13 Dafidi sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ọmọ ta ni ìwọ? Àti níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Òun sì wí pé, “Ọmọ ará Ejibiti ni èmi, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin kan ará Amaleki. Olúwa mi fi mí sílẹ̀, nítorí pé láti ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni èmi ti ṣe àìsàn.
David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
14 Àwa sì gbé ogun lọ sí ìhà gúúsù tí ará Kereti, àti sí ìhà ti Juda, àti sí ìhà gúúsù ti Kalebu; àwa sì kun Siklagi ní iná.”
We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
15 Dafidi sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ìwọ lè mú mí sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ ẹgbẹ́ ogun yìí lọ bí?” Òun sì wí pé, “Fi Ọlọ́run búra fún mi pé, ìwọ kì yóò pa mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì yóò sì fi mi lé olúwa mi lọ́wọ́; èmi yóò sì mú ọ sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ ẹgbẹ́ ogun náà lọ.”
David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
16 Ó sì mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀, sì wò ó, wọ́n sì tàn ká ilẹ̀, wọ́n ń jẹ, wọ́n ń mu, wọ́n sì ń jó, nítorí ìkógun púpọ̀ tí wọ́n kó láti ilẹ̀ àwọn Filistini wá, àti láti ilẹ̀ Juda.
[David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
17 Dafidi sì pa wọ́n láti àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ títí ó fi di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ kejì: kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó là nínú wọn, bí kọ̀ ṣe irinwó ọmọkùnrin tí wọ́n gun ìbákasẹ tí wọ́n sì sá.
David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
18 Dafidi sì gbà gbogbo nǹkan tí àwọn ará Amaleki ti kó: Dafidi sì gba àwọn obìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
19 Kò sì ṣí nǹkan tí ó kù fún wọn, kékeré tàbí ńlá, ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin, tàbí ìkógun, tàbí gbogbo nǹkan tí wọ́n ti kó: Dafidi sì gba gbogbo wọn.
Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
20 Dafidi sì kó gbogbo àgùntàn, àti màlúù tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ dà ṣáájú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn mìíràn tí wọ́n gbà, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Èyí yìí ni ìkógun ti Dafidi.”
They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
21 Dafidi sì wá sọ́dọ̀ igba ọkùnrin tí àárẹ̀ ti mú jú, tiwọn kò lè tọ́ Dafidi lẹ́yìn mọ́, ti òun ti fi sílẹ̀, ni àfonífojì Besori: wọ́n sì lọ pàdé Dafidi, àti láti pàdé àwọn ènìyàn tí ó lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀: Dafidi sì pàdé àwọn ènìyàn náà, ó sì kí wọn.
David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
22 Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti àwọn ọmọ Beliali nínú àwọn tí o bá Dafidi lọ sì dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Bí wọn kò ti bá wa lọ, àwa ki yóò fi nǹkan kan fún wọn nínú ìkógun ti àwa rí gbà bí kò ṣe obìnrin olúkúlùkù wọn, àti ọmọ wọn; ki wọn sì mú wọn, ki wọn sì máa lọ.”
But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
23 Dafidi sì wí pé, “Ẹ má ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ara mi: Olúwa ni ó fi nǹkan yìí fún wa, òun ni ó sì pa wá mọ́, òun ni ó sì fi ẹgbẹ́ ogun ti ó dìde sí wa lé wa lọ́wọ́.
David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
24 Ta ni yóò gbọ́ tiyín nínú ọ̀ràn yìí? Ṣùgbọ́n bi ìpín ẹni tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ si ìjà ti rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìpín ẹni ti ó dúró ti ẹrù; wọn ó sì pín in bákan náà.”
(Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
25 Láti ọjọ́ náà lọ, ó sì pàṣẹ, ó sì sọ ọ di òfin fún Israẹli títí di òní yìí.
David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
26 Dafidi sì padà sí Siklagi, ó sì rán nínú ìkógun náà si àwọn àgbàgbà Juda, àti sí àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, èyí ni ẹ̀bùn fún un yín, láti inú ìkógun àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa wa.”
When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
27 Ó sì rán an sí àwọn tí ó wà ni Beteli àti sí àwọn tí ó wà ní gúúsù tí Ramoti, àti sí àwọn tí ó wà ní Jattiri.
[Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
28 Àti sí àwọn tí ó wà ní Aroeri, àti sí àwọn tí ó wà ní Sifimoti, àti sí àwọn tí ó wà ni Eṣitemoa.
