1 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ka cararay Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal, oo intuu Yoonaataan u yimid ayuu ku yidhi, War maxaan sameeyey? Oo dembigaygu waa maxay? Oo dembiga aan aabbahaa ku sameeyey ee uu naftayda u doonayaa waa maxay?

David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said to Jonathan, What have I done? Of what am I guilty? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?

2 O o isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaanay noqon, adigu dhiman maysid. Aabbahay wax yar iyo wax weyn toona ma sameeyo wixii uu daaha iiga qaaday mooyaane. Maxaa aabbahay waxaas oo kale iiga qarinaya? Saas ma aha.

Jonathan said, God forbid! You shall not die. My father does nothing great or small but what he tells me. And why should hide this thing from me? It is not so.

3 O o haddana Daa'uud wuu dhaartay oo yidhi, Aabbahaa aad buu u og yahay inaad raalli iga tahay; oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Yuusan Yoonaataan tan ogaanin waaba intaasoo uu ka calool xumaadaaye; laakiinse sida runta ah, waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa iyo adiga naftaada inaan aniga iyo dhimasho waxba noo dhaxayn tallaabo mooyaane.

But David replied, Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.

4 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Wax alla wixii naftaadu jeceshahayba waan kuu samayn doonaa.

Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever you desire, I will do for you.

5 O o Daa'uudna Yoonaataan buu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, berrito bil baa dhalanaysa, oo waa inaanan ka baaqan inaan boqorka cunto ula fadhiisto, laakiinse i sii daa, aan tagee, oo aan ilaa maalinta saddexaad duurka ku dhuuntee.

David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit at the table with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening.

6 O o haddii aabbahaa i waayo, waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Daa'uud aad buu fasax ii weyddiistay inuu magaaladiisii Beytlaxam ku ordo; waayo, ehelkiisii oo dhan ayaa halkaas ku bixinaya allabarigii sannadka.

If your father misses me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

7 H adduu kugu yidhaahdo, Waa hagaag, anoo addoonkaaga ah nabad baan helayaa. Laakiinse hadduu cadhoodo, bal ogow inuu shar maaggan yahay.

If he says, All right, then it will be well with your servant; but if he is angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

8 S idaas daraaddeed anoo addoonkaaga ah ii roonow; waayo, adigu waxaad ila dhigatay axdi xagga Rabbiga ah. Laakiinse haddaan dembi galay, adiguba i dil; bal maxaad aabbahaa iigu geeynaysaa?

Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is guilt in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?

9 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu yidhi, Taasu ha kaa fogaato, waayo, haddaan ogahay in aabbahay maaggan yahay inuu shar kugu sameeyo, sow kuuma soo sheegeen?

And Jonathan said, Far be it from you! If I knew that evil was determined for you by my father, would I not tell you?

10 K olkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Yoonaataan ku yidhi, Haddii aabbahaa si xun ugu jawaabo bal yaa ii soo sheegaya?

Then said David to Jonathan, Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?

11 O o Yoonaataanna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Kaalay oo ina keen aan duurka tagnee. Oo labadoodiiba waxay tageen duurka.

Jonathan said, Come, let us go into the field. So they went into the field.

12 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Rabbiga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ahu, markhaati ha ka ahaado; berrito ama saa dambe haddaa oo kale, markii aan aabbahay soo calool baadho, hadduu wanaag kuu qabo, sow kuu soo cid diri maayo, oo daaha kaaga qaadi maayo wuxuu maaggan yahay oo dhan?

Jonathan said to David, The Lord, the God of Israel, be witness. When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well inclined toward David, and I do not send and let you know it,

13 H adday aabbahay ka farxin lahayd inuu shar kugu sameeyo oo aanan daaha kaaga qaadin, oo aanan weliba ku dirin si aad nabdoonaan ugu tagtid, Rabbigu saas iyo ka sii daran ha igu sameeyo; Rabbiguna ha kuula jiro siduu aabbahay ula jiray oo kale.

The Lord do so, and much more, to Jonathan. But if it please my father to do you harm, then I will disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.

14 W aa inaanad raxmadda Rabbiga i tusin intaan noolahay oo keliya, si aanan u dhiman,

While I am still alive you shall not only show me the loving-kindness of the Lord, so that I die not,

15 l aakiinse raxmaddaada waa inaanad ka gooyn reerkayga weligaa, oo xataa ma aha markii Rabbigu cadaawayaashaada ka dhammeeyo dhulka.

But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever—no, not even when the Lord has cut off every enemy of David from the face of the earth.

16 S idaasuu Yoonaataan axdi ula dhigtay reerkii Daa'uud, oo yidhi, Taas wuxuu Rabbigu ka doonayaa cadaawayaasha Daa'uud gacantooda.

So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And the Lord will require that this covenant be kept at the hands of David’s enemies.

17 O o Yoonaataan mar kaluu Daa'uud dhaariyey, jacaylkii uu u qabay aawadiis, waayo, wuxuu isaga u jeclaa siduu naftiisa u jeclaa oo kale.

And Jonathan caused David to swear again by his love for him, for Jonathan loved him as he loved his own life.

18 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Berrito bil baa dhalanaysa oo waa lagu waayi doonaa, maxaa yeelay, kursigaagu wuu madhnaan doonaa.

Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the New Moon festival; and you will be missed, for your seat will be empty.

19 M arkaad saddex maalmood joogto dabadeed waa inaad dhaqsataa oo aad tagtaa halkaad ku dhuumatay markii xaalkanu dhacay, oo waa inaad sii ag joogtaa dhagixii Kalategidda.

On the third day you will go quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain by the stone Ezel.

20 O o anna waxaan meeshaas dhinaceeda ku soo gani doonaa saddex fallaadhood, sidii anigoo calaamad ku ganaya.

And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.

21 O o bal eeg, wiil yar baan u soo diri doonaa, oo waxaan ku odhan doonaa, Tag oo fallaadhihii soo doondoon. Haddaba haddaan yarka ku idhaahdo, War fallaadhihii waa kaa sokeeyaan, soo qaad oo kaalay; waayo, nabad baa kuu jirta oo waxyeello lama arko, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye.

And I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them—then you are to come, for it is safe for you and there is no danger, as the Lord lives.

22 L aakiinse haddaan wiilka ku idhaahdo, War fallaadhihii waa kaa shisheeyaan; markaas iska tag, waayo, Rabbigu wuu ku diray.

But if I say to the youth, Look, the arrows are beyond you—then go, for the Lord has sent you away.

23 O o xagga xaalkii aynu ka hadalnay, bal eeg, aniga iyo adiga waxaa inoo dhexeeya Rabbiga weligiisba.

And as touching the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord is between you and me forever.

24 S idaasaa Daa'uud duurka ugu dhex dhuuntay, oo markii bishii dhalatay ayaa boqorkii u fadhiistay inuu wax cuno.

So David hid himself in the field, and when the New Moon came, the king sat down to eat food.

25 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku fadhiistay kursigiisii, sidii mararkii hore oo kale, kaasuna wuxuu ahaa kursigii derbiga ag yiil; oo Yoonaataanna wuu istaagay, Abneerna wuxuu dhinac fadhiistay Saa'uul, laakiinse meeshii Daa'uud way madhnayd.

The king sat, as at other times, on his seat by the wall, and Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

26 H abase yeeshee Saa'uul maalintaas waxba kuma uu hadlin, waayo, wuxuu u maleeyey in wax ku dhaceen, oo wuxuu isyidhi, Ma uu nadiifsana, hubaal isagu ma uu nadiifsana.

Yet Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, Something has befallen him and he is not clean—surely he is not clean.

27 O o maalintii ka dambaysay galabtii bishu dhalatay, taasoo ahayd maalintii labaad, Daa'uud meeshiisii way madhnayd, markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ku yidhi, War wiilka Yesay muxuu cuntada ugu iman waayay shalay iyo maantaba?

But on the morrow, the second day after the new moon, David’s place was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?

28 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Saa'uul ugu jawaabay, Daa'uud aad buu fasax ii weyddiistay inuu Beytlaxam tago,

And Jonathan answered, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.

29 o o wuxuu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, i sii daa, aan tagee, waayo, ehelkayagii baa magaalada allabari ku leh, oo walaalkay baa igu amray inaan halkaas joogo, haddaba haddii aad raalli iiga tahay i sii daa aan tagee oo walaalahay soo arkee, waan ku baryayaaye. Oo sidaas daraaddeed buu u iman waayay miiska boqorka.

He said, Let me go, I pray, for our family holds a sacrifice in the city and my brother commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away and see my brothers. That is why he has not come to the king’s table.

30 M arkaasaa Saa'uul aad ugu cadhooday Yoonaataan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaagan naag qalloocan oo caasiyad ah inankeed ahow, war sow ma aan ogi inaad wiilka Yesay dooratay adoo ceeb u soo jiidaya naftaada iyo cawrada hooyadaa?

Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan and he said to him, You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother who bore you?

31 W aayo, inta wiilka Yesay dhulka ku nool yahay, adiga iyo boqortooyadaada midna dhismi maayo. Sidaas daraaddeed u cid dir oo soo kexee, waayo, hubaal wuu dhimanayaa.

For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, you shall not be established nor shall your kingdom. So now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.

32 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu u jawaabay aabbihiis Saa'uul oo ku yidhi, Maxaa loo dilayaa? Oo bal muxuu sameeyey?

Jonathan answered Saul his father, Why should he be killed? What has he done?

33 K olkaasaa Saa'uul warankiisii ku soo gantaalay si uu u dilo. Sidaasaa Yoonaataan taas ku ogaaday in aabbihiis maagganaa inuu Daa'uud dilo.

But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him, by which Jonathan knew that his father had determined to kill David.

34 O o Yoonaataanna miiskuu kala kacay cadho kulul, oo bisha maalinteedii labaadna waxba ma cunin, waayo, wuxuu u calool xumaaday Daa'uud aawadiis, maxaa yeelay, aabbihiis baa ceeb ku sameeyey.

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food that second day of the month, for he grieved for David because his father had disgraced him.

35 O o subaxdii dambe ayuu Yoonaataan duurka tegey wakhtigii uu Daa'uud la ballamay isagoo wata wiil yar.

In the morning Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

36 M arkaasuu wiilkii yaraa ku yidhi, Orod hadda oo soo doondoon fallaadhaha aan ganayo. Oo intii yarkii sii ordayay ayuu fallaadh shishadiisa ku ganay.

And he said to his lad, Run, find the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37 O o yarkii markuu yimid meeshii Yoonaataan fallaadhii ku soo ganay ayaa Yoonaataan ka soo daba qayliyey yarkii, oo ku yidhi, War sow fallaadhii kaama sii shishayso?

When the lad came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called to, Is not the arrow beyond you?

38 O o haddana Yoonaataan wuxuu ka soo daba dhawaaqay wiilkii oo ku yidhi, War dheeree oo dhaqso oo ha joogsan. Markaasaa Yoonaataan yarkiisii soo ururiyey fallaadhihii oo sayidkiisii u yimid.

And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! The lad gathered up the arrow and came to his master.

39 L aakiin yarku waxba ma ogayn, Yoonaataan iyo Daa'uud keliya ayaase xaalka ogaa.

But the lad knew nothing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

40 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan hubkiisii yarkii u dhiibay, oo ku yidhi, Tag, oo magaaladii gee.

Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and told him, Go, carry them to the city.

41 O o isla markiiba kolkii yarkii tegey ayaa Daa'uud ka soo baxay meel Yoonaataan xagga koonfureed ka ahayd, markaasuu wejiga dhulka ku dhuftay oo saddex jeer sujuuday, wayna isdhunkadeen oo isla ooyeen ilaa Daa'uud sii badiyey.

And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from beside the heap of stones and fell on his face to the ground and bowed himself three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another until David got control of himself.

42 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Nabad ku tag, maxaa yeelay, labadeennuba waxaynu isugu dhaarannay magaca Rabbiga, innagoo leh, Rabbigu ha inoo dhexeeyo aniga iyo adiga, iyo farcankayga iyo farcankaaga weligiisba. Markaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo tegey, oo Yoonaataanna magaaladuu galay.

And Jonathan told David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and yours forever. And Jonathan arose and departed into the city.
