2 Samuel 1

1 Lẹ́yìn ikú Saulu, Dafidi ti ibi tí ó ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Amaleki bọ̀, ó sì dúró ní Siklagi ní ọjọ́ méjì.

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.

2 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta, ọkùnrin kan dé láti ibi ibùdó Saulu, pẹ̀lú aṣọ rẹ̀ tí ó ti ya; àti erùpẹ̀ ní orí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi, ó wólẹ̀ fún un láti bu ọlá fún un.

And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.

3 Dafidi sì béèrè pé, “Ibo ni ìwọ ti wá?” “Èmi sá láti ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”

And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

4 Dafidi béèrè pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” “Sọ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sá láti ojú ogun. Ọ̀pọ̀ wọn ṣubú, wọ́n sì kú. Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin Jonatani sì kú pẹ̀lú.”

And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

5 Nígbà náà, ní Dafidi sọ fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Báwo ni o ṣe mọ̀ pé Saulu àti ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ Jonatani ti kú.”

And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?

6 Ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sọ pé, “Mo wà ní orí òkè Gilboa níbẹ̀ ni Saulu fi ara tí ọkọ̀ rẹ̀, àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin sì ń lépa rẹ̀.

And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.

7 Nígbà tí ó wò yíká, tí ó rí mí, ó pè mi, mo sì wí pé, ‘Kí ni mo lè ṣe?’

And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.

8 “Ó bi mí wí pé, ‘Ta ni ìwọ?’ “Mo dáhùn pé, ‘Ará a Amaleki.’

And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.

9 “Nígbà náà ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Dúró lórí ì mi kí o sì pa mí! Èmi wà nínú ìrora ikú, ṣùgbọ́n mo wà láààyè.’

And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.

10 “Nígbà náà, mo dúró lórí i rẹ̀, mo sì pa á nítorí mo mọ̀ wí pé, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣubú, kò le è yè mọ́. Mo sì mú adé tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀, idẹ tí ó wà ní apá a rẹ̀, mo sì kó wọn wá síbí fún olúwa mi.”

So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.

11 Nígbà náà ni, Dafidi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, di aṣọ wọn mú, wọ́n sì fà á ya.

David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:

12 Wọ́n ṣọ̀fọ̀, wọ́n sì sọkún, wọ́n sì gbààwẹ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́ fún Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani àti fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun Olúwa, àti fún àwọn ilé Israẹli, nítorí wọ́n ti ṣubú nípa idà.

And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

13 Dafidi sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Níbo ni ó ti wá?” O dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ àlejò ni mo jẹ́, ará Amaleki.”

And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.

14 Dafidi béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ kò fi bẹ̀rù láti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè láti fi pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa?”

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?

15 Nígbà náà Dafidi pe ọ̀kan nínú ọkùnrin, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ, gbé e lulẹ̀!” Nígbà náà ó gbé e lulẹ̀, ó sì kú.

And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

16 Nítorí Dafidi wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ, nítorí ẹnu ara rẹ ni o fi sọ pé, ‘Mo pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.’”

And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.

17 Dafidi sì fi orin ọ̀fọ̀ yìí ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí Saulu àti lórí Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀,

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

18 Ó sì pàṣẹ pé kí a kọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda ní orin arò yìí tí ó jẹ́ ti ọrun (a kọ ọ́ sí inú ìwé Jaṣari):

And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.

19 “Ògo rẹ, Israẹli ni a pa ní òkè gíga rẹ. Wò bí àwọn alágbára ṣe ń ṣubú!

O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!

20 “Ẹ má ṣe sọ ọ́ ní Gati, ẹ má ṣe kéde rẹ̀ ní òpópónà Aṣkeloni, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Filistini má bá à yọ̀, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin aláìkọlà má ba à dunnú.

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.

21 “Ẹ̀yin òkè Gilboa, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe rí ìrì tàbí òjò, tàbí oko tí ó mú èso ọrẹ wá. Nítorí ibẹ̀ ni asà alágbára ti ṣègbé, asà Saulu, bí ẹni pé a kò fi òróró yàn án.

O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.

22 “Ọrun Jonatani kì í padà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni idà Saulu kì í padà lásán, láì kan ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn tí a pa, àti ẹran àwọn alágbára.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.

23 Saulu àti Jonatani— ní ọjọ́ ayé, wọ́n fẹ́ràn ara, wọn sì dùn, ní ikú, wọn kò sì yà ara wọ́n. Wọ́n yára ju idì lọ, wọ́n lágbára ju kìnnìún lọ.

Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.

24 “Ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin Israẹli, ẹ sọkún lórí Saulu, ẹni tí ó fi aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára wọ̀ yín, ẹni tí ó fi wúrà sí ara aṣọ yín.

O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25 “Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú ní ojú ogun! Jonatani, ìwọ tí a pa ní òkè gíga.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.

26 Ọkàn mi gbọgbẹ́ fún ọ Jonatani arákùnrin mi; ìwọ ṣọ̀wọ́n fún mi. Ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi jẹ́ ìyanu, ó jẹ́ ìyanu ju ti obìnrin lọ.

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.

27 “Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú! Ohun ìjà sì ti ṣègbé!”

How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
