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.

When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan became one with the soul of David. Jonathan loved him as himself.

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

Saul took David 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 made an agreement with David, because he loved him as himself.

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

Jonathan took off his long coat and gave it to David. He gave him his battle-clothes, his sword, his bow and his belt also.

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.

David went everywhere that Saul sent him, and did well. Saul had him lead the men of war. And it was pleasing to all the people and to Saul’s servants.

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.

When David returned from killing the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, playing songs of joy on timbrels.

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.

The women sang as they played, and said, “Saul has killed 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?

Then Saul became very angry. This saying did not please him. He said, “They have given David honor for ten thousands, but for me only thousands. Now what more can he have but to be king?”

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

And Saul was jealous and did not trust David from that day on.

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.

The next day a bad spirit sent from God came upon Saul with power. He acted like a crazy man in his house, while David was playing the harp. Saul had a spear in his 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 he threw the spear, thinking, “I will nail David to the wall.” But David jumped out of his way twice.

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

Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had left 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.

So Saul made David go away from him, and had him lead a thousand men. And David went out to the people.

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

David did well in all that he did, because the Lord was with him.

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

When Saul saw how well he did, 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, for he went out and came in before them. David Marries Saul’s Daughter

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.

Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife, if you only work for me with strength of heart and fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, “I will not go against him. Let the Philistines go 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?

David said to Saul, “Who am I? What is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son-in-law?”

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.

But at the time when Saul’s daughter Merab should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a 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.

Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. When they told Saul, it 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.

Saul thought, “I will give her to David. I will use her to trap him, and the Philistines will go against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “Now you may be my son-in-law.”

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.

Then Saul told his servants, “Speak to David in secret. Tell him, ‘See, the king is happy with you, and all his servants love you. So now become 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?

So Saul’s servants said this to David. But David said, “Is it not important to you to become the king’s son-in-law? I am only a poor man and am not very respected.”

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

Saul’s servants told Saul what David had said.

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.

Then Saul said, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no marriage gift except the pieces of skin from the sex parts of a hundred Philistines, to punish those who hate the king.’” Saul planned to have the Philistines kill David.

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;

When his servants told this to David, it pleased him to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the time was finished,

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.

David and his men went and killed 200 Philistine men. Then David brought their pieces of flesh and gave all of them to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a 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.

When Saul saw and knew 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.

Saul was even more afraid of David. So he hated David always.

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 Philistine leaders went out to battle. And when they did, David acted with more wisdom than all the servants of Saul. So his name became very important.
