1 O o markii uu dhammeeyey lahadliddii uu Saa'uul la hadlayay ayay naftii Yoonaataan ku xidhantay naftii Daa'uud, oo Yoonaataan wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisa.

¶ And it came to pass when he had finished speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

2 O o maalintaasaa Saa'uul qaatay oo mar dambena uma uu oggolaan inuu gurigii aabbihiis tago.

And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house.

3 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan iyo Daa'uud axdi dhigteen, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisii.

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul.

4 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan iska bixiyey khamiiskiisii uu huwanaa, oo Daa'uud siiyey, iyo dharkiisii, iyo xataa seeftiisii, iyo qaansadiisii, iyo suundhabarkiisii.

And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him and gave it to David and his garments, even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle.

5 O o Daa'uudna meel alla meeshii Saa'uul u diro ayuu tegi jiray, wuuna ku guulaysan jiray; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu madax uga dhigay raggii dagaalka, oo taasuna way la wanaagsanayd dadkii oo dhan iyo addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhanba.

And David went out wherever Saul sent him and behaved himself prudently, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s slaves.

6 O o markay yimaadeen, markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday layntii reer Falastiin, dumarkii baa waxay ka yimaadeen magaalooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan si ay Boqor Saa'uul uga hor tagaan iyagoo gabyaya oo cayaaraya, oo faraxsan oo daf iyo alaabtii muusikada tumaya.

¶ And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.

7 O o dumarkiina midba midda kalay gabay u celisay, iyagoo cayaaraya, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Saa'uul wuxuu laayay kumanyaalkiisii, Daa'uudna wuxuu laayay tobanyaalkiisii kun.

And the women sang as they played and said, Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands.

8 S aa'uulna aad buu u cadhooday, oo hadalkaas ayuu ka xumaaday, wuxuuna yidhi, Waxay Daa'uud ku sheegeen tobanyaal kun, laakiinse aniga waxay igu sheegeen kumanyaal; oo maxaa intaas ka badan oo uu heli lahaa boqortooyada mooyaane?

And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and what can he have more but the kingdom?

9 O o Saa'uulna maalintaas dabadeed Daa'uud si xun buu u fiirin jiray.

And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

10 O o subaxdii dambe ruux xun oo xag Ilaah ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul, oo sidii nebi ayuu wax ugu sii sheegay guriga dhexdiisa. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu gacanta ku dhuftay kataarad siduu maalin walba yeeli jiray; oo Saa'uulna gacantuu ku haystay warankiisii.

And it came to pass on the next day that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, and David played with his hand as at other times, and there was a spear in Saul’s hand.

11 O o wuxuu yidhi, Daa'uud derbigaan ku qodbi doonaa. Markaasaa Saa'uul warankii ku soo ganay. Daa'uudna laba jeer buu ka gabbaday.

And Saul cast the spear, saying, I will smite David to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

12 O o Saa'uulna Daa'uud buu ka cabsanayay, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa isaga la jiray, wuuna ka tegey Saa'uul.

¶ But Saul was afraid of David because the LORD was with him and had departed from Saul.

13 S idaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuu iska fogeeyey isagii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay sirkaal kun u taliya; isaguna dadka hortiisuu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.

Therefore, Saul removed him from him and made him captain over a thousand, and he went out and came in before the people.

14 O o Daa'uudna wuu ku guulaysan jiray socodkiisa oo dhan, Rabbiguna wuu la jiray.

And David behaved himself prudently in all his ways, and the LORD was with him.

15 O o Saa'uulna markuu arkay in Daa'uud aad u guulaystay ayuu la yaabay.

Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved himself very prudently, he was afraid of him.

16 L aakiinse reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah oo dhanba Daa'uud aad bay u jeclaayeen; waayo, isagu hortooduu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.

But all Israel and Judah loved David because he went out and came in before them.

17 O o Saa'uulna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gabadhayda weyn oo Meerab ah ayaan kuu siinayaa inaad guursato; laakiinse waa inaad ii xoog badnaato oo aad dagaallada Rabbigana dirirto. Waayo, Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Yuusan gacantayda ku bixin, laakiinse gacanta reer Falastiin ha ku baxo.

And Saul said to David, Behold I will give thee my elder daughter Merab to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles. For Saul said to himself, My hand shall not be against him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be against him.

18 M arkaasaa Daa'uudna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, War yaan ahay, oo noloshaydu waa maxay, amase reer aabbahay xaggay ka joogaan reer binu Israa'iil, inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa?

And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel that I should be son-in-law to the king?

19 L aakiinse wakhtigii Saa'uul gabadhiisii Meerab ahayd Daa'uud loo guurin lahaa, waxaa la siiyey oo loo guuriyey Cadrii'eel oo reer Mexolaad ahaa.

And it came to pass at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David that she was given unto Adriel, the Meholathite, to wife.

20 O o gabadhii Saa'uul oo Miikaal ahayd ayaa Daa'uud jeclaatay. Markaasaa Saa'uul loo sheegay, oo taasuna isagii way ka farxisay.

But Michal, Saul’s other daughter, loved David, and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

21 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Dabin ha ku noqotee, isaga waan siin iyada, si ay gacanta reer Falastiin isaga gees uga ahaato. Sidaas aawadeed Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Adigu maanta waxaad mar labaad noqonaysaa wiilkii aan soddogga u ahaa.

And Saul said, I will give her to him that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore, Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law with the other one.

22 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku amray oo ku yidhi, Daa'uud hoos ahaan ula hadla, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Bal eeg, boqorku wuu kugu farxay, oo addoommadiisa oo dhammuna way ku jecel yihiin; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed boqorku soddog ha kuu noqdo.

And Saul commanded his slaves, saying, Speak with David secretly and say, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his slaves love thee; now, therefore, be the king’s son-in-law.

23 O o addoommadii Saa'uulna erayadaas waxay u sheegeen Daa'uud. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Ma waxay idinla tahay inay fudud dahay inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa, anigoo ah nin miskiin ah oo weliba derejo yar?

And Saul’s slaves spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?

24 O o Saa'uul addoommadiisiina way u soo sheegeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud sidaasuu u hadlay.

And the slaves of Saul told him, saying, David spoke these words.

25 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Sidan Daa'uud ku dhaha, Boqorku waxba yarad kaa dooni maayo, boqol buuryo oo reer Falastiin oo boqorka cadaawayaashiisa looga aarguto mooyaane. Haddaba Saa'uul wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud u gacangeliyo reer Falastiin.

And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The desire of the king is not in any dowry, but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. For Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

26 O o addoommadiisiina markay Daa'uud erayadaas u soo sheegeen ayaa Daa'uud aad ugu farxay inuu ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Maalmahaasuna ma ay dhammaan;

And when his slaves told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law, and the days were not expired.

27 m arkaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo tegey isagii iyo raggiisiiba, oo waxay reer Falastiin ka soo laayeen laba boqol oo nin; markaasaa Daa'uud buuryadoodii keenay, oo boqorkii bay siiyeen tiradoodii oo dhan, si Daa'uud u noqdo wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Saa'uulna wuu siiyey gabadhiisii Miikaal inay naag u noqoto.

Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them all to the king that he might be the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal, his daughter, to wife.

28 O o Saa'uulna wuu arkay wuuna ogaa in Rabbigu Daa'uud la jiro; oo Saa'uul gabadhiisii Miikaal ahaydna Daa'uud bay caashaqday.

But Saul, seeing and knowing that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him,

29 S aa'uulna aad buu uga sii cabsanayay Daa'uud; oo Saa'uulna had iyo goorba Daa'uud cadow buu u ahaa.

was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.

30 M arkaasaa waxaa soo baxay amiirradii reer Falastiin; oo sidii ay marar badan u soo bixi jireen, ayaa Daa'uud ka sii guul badnaa addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhan; oo sidaas aawadeed magiciisii aad iyo aad buu caan u noqday.

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth, and it came to pass after they went forth that David behaved himself more prudently than all the slaves of Saul so that his name was much set by.
