1 T hen the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, east of Jeshimon?”

Oo waxaa Saa'uul Gibecaah ugu yimid kuwii reer Siif, iyagoo leh, Miyuusan Daa'uud ku dhuuman buurta Xakiilaah, oo lamadegaanka ku hor taal?

2 S o Saul got ready and went down to the desert of Ziph. He had 3, 000 chosen men of Israel with him, to look for David in the desert of Ziph.

Markaasaa Saa'uul kacay, oo wuxuu ku dhaadacay cidladii Siif, isagoo wata saddex kun oo nin oo reer binu Israa'iil laga soo doortay, inuu Daa'uud ka soo doondoono cidlada Siif.

3 S aul stayed on the hill of Hachilah, beside the road east of Jeshimon. And David was staying in the desert. When he saw that Saul came after him in the desert,

Kolkaasaa Saa'uul soo degay buurtii Xakiilaah, taasoo lamadegaanka ku hor taal, waddadana ku dhinac taal. Laakiinse Daa'uud cidladuu joogay, oo wuxuuna arkay in Saa'uul cidlada uga soo daba galay.

4 D avid sent out spies and learned that Saul was coming for sure.

Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud basaasyuu soo diray, wuxuuna ogaaday in Saa'uul xaqiiqa ahaan yimid.

5 T hen David got ready and came to the place where Saul was staying. He saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul was lying in the center of the tents, and the people were sleeping around him.

Markaasaa Daa'uud soo kacay oo yimid meeshii Saa'uul degay, oo Daa'uud wuxuu arkay meeshii Saa'uul jiifay, isaga iyo Abneer ina Neer oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidankiisa, oo Saa'uulna wuxuu jiifay meeshii gaadhifardoodku joogay dhexdeeda, oo dadkuna hareerihiisay degeen.

6 T hen David said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Joab’s brother Abishai the son of Zeruiah, “Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”

Markaasaa Daa'uud jawaabay oo ku yidhi kii reer Xeed oo Axiimeleg ahaa iyo Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo Yoo'aabna walaalkiis ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaa ii raacaya Saa'uul xeraduu joogo? Kolkaasaa Abiishay ku yidhi, anaa ku raacaya.

7 S o David and Abishai came to the people during the night. Saul lay sleeping in the center of the tents, with his spear in the ground at his head. Abner and the people were lying around him.

Sidaasay Daa'uud iyo Abiishay dadkii ugu yimaadeen habeennimo, oo waxay arkeen Saa'uul oo hurda meeshii gaadhifardoodka dhexdeeda, oo warankiisiina dhulkuu ku mudnaa meel madaxiisa u dhow; oo Abneer iyo dadkiina hareerihiisay jiifeen.

8 A bishai said to David, “Today God has given the one who hates you into your hand. Now let me nail him to the earth with the spear, hitting him just once. I will not hit him a second time.”

Markaasaa Abiishay wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Maanta Ilaah wuxuu kuu soo gacangeliyey cadowgaagii. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye i daa aan wareemee oo aan mar keliya dhulka ku qodbee, oo mar labaad ku dhufan maayo.

9 B ut David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him. For who can put his hand out against the Lord’s chosen one and not be guilty?”

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Abiishay ku yidhi, Ha dilin, waayo, bal yaa gacan u qaadi kara Rabbiga kiisa subkan, oo haddana eedla'aan doona?

10 D avid said, “As the Lord lives, He will destroy him. Or his day will come to die. Or he will be killed in battle.

Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye, waxaa isaga dili doona Rabbiga, ama maalintiisii baa iska iman doonta, amase dagaal buu geli doonaa markaasaa la dili doonaa.

11 M ay the Lord keep me from putting out my hand against the Lord’s chosen one. But take the spear that is at his head and the bottle of water, and let us go.”

Rabbiga ha iga fogeeyo inaan gacanta u qaado Rabbiga kiisa subkan. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye inoo qaad waranka madaxiisa ag yaal iyo kusadda biyaha, oo ina keen aannu tagnee.

12 S o David took the spear and the bottle of water from beside Saul’s head, and they went away. But no one saw it, or knew it, and no one woke, for they were all sleeping. A deep sleep from the Lord had come upon them.

Sidaas aawadeed Daa'uud wuxuu Saa'uul madaxiisii ka ag qaatay warankii iyo kusaddii biyaha; kolkaasay tageen, oo ninnaba ma arkin, lamana ogayn, oo midna ma toosin, waayo, kulligood way wada hurdeen, maxaa yeelay, waxaa xagga Rabbiga kaga soo degtay hurdo weyn.

13 T hen David crossed over to the other side and stood far away on top of the mountain, with much land between them.

Markaasaa Daa'uud dhankii kale u gudbay oo wuxuu ku dul istaagay buur iyaga in yar ka fog, oo waxaana u dhexeeyey bannaan weyn.

14 D avid called to the army and to Ner’s son Abner, saying, “Will you not answer, Abner?” Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”

Kolkaasaa Daa'uud u dhawaaqay dadkii iyo Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer, oo yidhi, Abneerow, war miyaadan jawaabayn? Markaasaa Abneer jawaabay oo yidhi, Kaaga boqorka u dhawaaqayaa, kumaad tahay?

15 D avid said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy the king your lord.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Abneer ku yidhi, War sow ma tihid nin rag ah? Yaana kula mid ah oo reer binu Israa'iil ku jira? Haddaba maxaad u dhawri weyday sayidkaaga boqorka ah? Waayo, mid dadka ka mid ah ayaa xerada u galay inuu boqorka sayidkaaga ah dilo.

16 T his thing you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, all of you must die for sure. Because you did not watch over your lord, the Lord’s chosen one. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the bottle of water that was beside his head.”

War waxan aad samaysay ma wanaagsana. Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye waxaad istaahishaan dhimasho, maxaa yeelay, ma aydaan dhawrin sayidkiinna ah Rabbiga kiisa subkan. Haddaba bal fiiriya boqorka warankiisii iyo kusaddiisii biyaha oo madaxiisa ag yiil.

17 S aul knew David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.

Markaasaa Saa'uul gartay Daa'uud codkiisii oo yidhi, Wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, kaasu ma codkaagii baa? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, kanu waa codkaygii, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow.

18 W hy is my lord coming after his servant? What have I done? What am I guilty of?

Oo haddana wuxuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, maxaad ii eryanaysaa, anoo addoonkaaga ah? Waayo, maxaan sameeyey? Waase maxay xumaanta gacantayda ku jirtaa?

19 N ow I beg you, let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has made you come against me, let Him receive a gift. But if men have done this, may bad come to them before the Lord. For they have driven me out this day, that I should have no share of what the Lord has given. They say, ‘Go, worship other gods.’

Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow, bal maqal erayadayda anoo addoonkaaga ah. Oo haddii Rabbigu igu kaa diray qurbaan ha aqbalo, laakiinse haddii waxa igu kaa diray ay binu-aadmi yihiin, Rabbiga hortiisa ha ku inkaarnaadeen, waayo, maanta way i eryeen si aanan u sii joogin dhaxalkii Rabbiga, oo waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Tag oo ilaahyo kale u adeeg.

20 S o do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the Lord. For the king of Israel has come out to look for one little bug, just as one looks for a partridge in the mountains.”

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed dhiiggaygu yuusan ku daadan meel Rabbiga hortiisa ka fog, waayo, boqorkii reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaad u soo baxday si aad tagfi u doondoonto, oo waa sidii mid buuraha digaagduur ka ugaadhsanaya.

21 T hen Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not hurt you again. Because my life was of great worth in your eyes this day. See, I have played the fool, and have made a big mistake.”

Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Waan dembaabay, wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, iska noqo, waayo, anigu mar dambe wax ku yeeli maayo, maxaa yeelay, maanta naftaydu qaali bay kula noqotay. Bal eeg, waan nacasoobay oo aad iyo aad baan u qaldamay.

22 D avid answered, “See the spear of the king! Let one of the young men come over and take it.

Markaasaa Daa'uud ugu jawaabay, Boqorow, waa kan warankaagii! Haddaba ragga dhallinyarada ah midkood ha u yimaado oo ha kuu qaado.

23 T he Lord will pay each man for being right and good and faithful. For the Lord gave you into my hand today. But I would not put out my hand against the Lord’s chosen one.

Oo Rabbiguna nin walba wuu ka abaalmarin doonaa xaqnimadiisa iyo aaminnimadiisa, waayo, Rabbigu maanta gacantayduu kugu soo riday, aniguse ma aan doonaynin inaan gacantayda u qaado Rabbiga kiisa subkan.

24 N ow see, as your life was of great worth in my eyes today, so may my life be of great worth in the eyes of the Lord. May He save me from all trouble.”

Oo bal eeg, sida maanta naftaadu iigu dheeraatay, sidaas oo kale naftaydu ha ku dheeraato Rabbiga hortiisa, oo dhibaato oo dhanna ha iga samatabbixiyo.

25 T hen Saul said to David, “May good come to you, my son David. You will do many things and do them well.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, waad barakaysan tahay. Hubaal xoog baad yeelan doontaa, waadna guulaysan doontaa. Dabadeedna Daa'uud waa iska tegey, Saa'uulna meeshiisuu ku noqday.
