1 M arkaasaa Saa'uul la hadlay wiilkiisii Yoonaataan iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku amray inay Daa'uud dilaan.

¶ And Saul spoke to Jonathan, his son, and to all his slaves that they should kill David.

2 L aakiinse Saa'uul wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ahaa Daa'uud aad buu ugu farxay. Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Aabbahay Saa'uul wuxuu doonayaa inuu ku dilo. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, subaxdii digtoonow, oo intaad meel qarsoon gashid dhuumo;

But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David, and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, seeks to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning and abide in a secret place and hide thyself.

3 o o anigu waan tegayaa, oo beerta aad ku jirto dhexdeeda ayaan aabbahay ag istaagayaa, oo xaggaagaan aabbahay kala hadlayaa, oo hadday wax jiraanna waan kuu soo sheegayaa.

And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee, and what I see, that I will tell thee.

4 O o Yoonaataanna wax wanaagsan ayuu aabbihiis Saa'uul uga sheegay Daa'uud, oo ku yidhi, Addoonkaaga Daa'uud ha ku dembaabin, maxaa yeelay, isagu kuguma uu dembaabin, oo shuqulladiisuna xaggaaga aad bay ugu wanaagsanaayeen,

And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul, his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his slave David, for he has not sinned against thee; on the other hand his works have been very good for thee,

5 w aayo, intuu isku biimeeyey ayuu kii reer Falastiin dilay, oo Rabbiguna guul weyn buu u sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Waad aragtay, waanad ku faraxday, haddaba maxaad dhiig aan xaq qabin ugu dembaabaysaa inaad sababla'aan Daa'uud u disho?

for he put his soul in his hand and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel. Thou didst see it and rejoice. Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood to slay David without a cause?

6 M arkaasaa Saa'uul maqlay codkii Yoonaataan, oo wuxuu ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga inaan Daa'uud la dilayn.

And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, As the LORD lives, he shall not be slain.

7 D abadeedna Yoonaataan Daa'uud buu u yeedhay, oo u sheegay waxyaalahan oo dhan. Markaasaa Yoonaataan Daa'uud u keenay Saa'uul, oo uu hor joogay sidii waagii hore.

And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.

8 O o haddana mar kale waxaa dhacay dagaal. Markaasaa Daa'uud baxay oo la diriray reer Falastiin, oo intuu aad u laayay ayay ka hor carareen.

¶ And there was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and slew them with a great slaughter, and they fled from him.

9 O o haddana ruux xun oo xagga Rabbiga ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul isagoo gurigiisa dhex fadhiya oo warankiisii gacanta ugu jiro; markaasaa Daa'uud gacanta ku dhuftay kataaraddii.

And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and David played with his hand.

10 O o Saa'uulna wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud wareemo oo uu derbiga ku qodbo; laakiinse wuu ka cararay Saa'uul hortiisii oo Saa'uul wuxuu warankii ka taagay derbigii. Daa'uudna wuu cararay, oo habeenkaasuu baxsaday.

And Saul sought to smite David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, who smote the spear into the wall; and David fled and escaped that night.

11 M arkaasaa Saa'uul rag u diray Daa'uud gurigiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhawra oo subaxdii isaga dila. Markaasaa Miikaal oo Daa'uud naagtiisii ahayd ayaa warkii u sheegtay, oo ku tidhi, Haddaadan caawa naftaada la baxsan, berri waa lagu dilayaa.

¶ Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house to watch him and to slay him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life tonight, tomorrow thou shalt be dead.

12 H addaba Miikaal waxay Daa'uud ka dejisay daaqaddii; oo isna intuu tegey ayuu cararay, waana baxsaday.

So Michal let David down through a window, and he went and fled and escaped.

13 M arkaasaa Miikaal waxay soo qaadday sanam oo sariirtay saartay, oo waxay madaxa u dhigtay barkin dhogor riyood ah, waxayna ku dedday dhar.

Then Michal took an image and laid it in the bed and put a pillow of goats’ hair at his head and covered it with a cloth.

14 O o markii Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo kexeeyaan ayay ku tidhi, Wuu bukaa.

And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

15 M arkaasaa Saa'uul raggii soo diray inay Daa'uud soo arkaan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Isagoo sariirta ku jiifa ii keena aan dilee.

And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed that I may slay him.

16 O o raggiina markay gurigiisii soo galeen ayay arkeen sanamkii oo sariirta saaran oo barkin dhogor riyood ahu madaxa u taal.

And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed with a pillow of goats’ hair at his head.

17 K olkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Miikaal ku yidhi, Naa maxaad saas iigu khiyaanaysay oo cadowgayga u sii daysay inuu baxsado? Miikaalna waxay Saa'uul ugu jawaabtay, Wuxuu igu yidhi, I sii daa, yaanan ku diline.

And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so and sent away my enemy that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; if not, I shall kill thee.

18 H addaba Daa'uud wuu cararay oo wuu baxsaday, oo wuxuu Samuu'eel ugu yimid Raamaah, oo u sheegay kulli wixii Saa'uul ku sameeyey oo dhan. Markaasaa isaga iyo Samuu'eel waxay tageen oo degeen Naayood.

¶ So David fled and escaped and came to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

19 S aa'uulna waa loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Daa'uud wuxuu joogaa Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

20 M arkaasaa Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo qabtaan; oo iyana markay arkeen guutadii nebiyada ahayd oo wax sheegaya, iyo Samuu'eel oo dhex taagan oo madax u ah ayaa ruuxii Rabbigu ku soo degay raggii Saa'uul soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

And Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

21 O o taas markii Saa'uul loo sheegay ayuu haddana soo diray rag kale, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen. Oo haddana mar saddexaad ayaa Saa'uul rag kale soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

22 M arkaasaa isagiina Raamaah tegey, oo wuxuu yimid ceelka weyn oo ku yaal Sekuu, dabadeedna dadkii buu wax weyddiiyey oo ku yidhi, Samuu'eel iyo Daa'uud xaggee bay joogaan? Oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Waxay joogaan Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

Then he also went to Ramah and came to a great well that is in Sechu, and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.

23 M arkaasuu wuxuu tegey Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal; markaasaa isagiina waxaa ku soo degay ruuxii Ilaah, oo wuu sii socday, oo sidii nebi buu wax u sheegay tan iyo ilaa uu yimid Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

And he went there to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24 O o isna dharkii buu iska siibay, oo Samuu'eel hortiisuu wax ku sii sheegay, oo halkaasuu jiifay isagoo qaawan maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay yidhaahdaan, Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

And he stripped off his clothes also and prophesied before Samuel in like manner and lay down naked all that day and all that night. From here it was said, Is Saul also among the prophets?
