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?

Then David ran from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my sin? What have I done wrong to your father, that he wants to kill me?”

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 to him, “Far from it, you will not die. See, my father does nothing big or small without telling me about it. So why should my father hide this 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 answered, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes. He has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, because it would fill him with sorrow.’ But it is true. As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is only 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, “I will do for you whatever you say.”

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, “See, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should sit down to eat with the king. But let me go. I will hide myself in the field until the third 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 asked me to let him leave to run to his city Bethlehem. It is the time for the whole family to gather there for the gift given on the altar in worship each year.’

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, ‘Good!’ your servant will be safe. But if he is very angry, then you will know that he has decided to do what is bad.

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?

So be kind to your servant. For you have brought me into an agreement of the Lord with you. But if I am guilty, 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?

Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! If I knew that my father has decided to do something bad to you, would I not tell you about it?”

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

Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father is angry when he answers you?”

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

Jonathan said to David, “Come, let us go out into the field.” So both of them went out 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, “May the Lord, the God of Israel, see it. I will speak with my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day. If he feels good about David, will I not send news to you 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.

But if my father wants to hurt you, may the Lord do the same to Jonathan and even more, if I do not let you know and send you away, so you may be safe. 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,

If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord, that I may not die.

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

Do not stop being faithful to my house forever, not even when the Lord destroys from the earth all who hate David.

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

Do not let the name of Jonathan be lost from the family of David. And may the Lord punish those who hate you.”

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.

Jonathan made David promise again, by his love for him. For he 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. You will be missed because 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 hurry and come to the place where you hid yourself the other time. Stay by the stone called Ezel.

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

I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as if 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.

Then I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to the boy these words, ‘See, the arrows are on this side of you, get them!’ then you may 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 boy, ‘See, the arrows are farther away,’ 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.

As for the agreement you and I have spoken, see, 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 in the field. 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 on his seat by the wall as he did other times. Jonathan sat on the other side from him, and Abner sat beside Saul. 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.

But Saul did not say anything that day. For he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. For sure 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 David’s place was empty the next day, the second day of the new moon. So Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come to the supper yesterday and today?”

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

Jonathan answered Saul, “David asked me to let him 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, ‘I beg you, let me go. Our family is giving a gift on the altar in the city. And my brother has told me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me leave 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 was very angry with Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a sinful woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother who gave birth to 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.

As long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you and the power you would have as king will not last. So send for him and bring him to me. For he must die.”

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

Jonathan answered his father Saul, “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 threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, so he knew that his father had decided 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.

Jonathan rose from the table very angry. He did not eat any food on the second day of the new moon. For he was filled with sorrow for David, because his father had brought shame upon 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 to the field at the time he and David agreed to meet. A little boy 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.

Jonathan said to his boy, “Run, find the arrows I shoot.” As the boy was running, he shot an arrow past 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?

The boy came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow. Jonathan called to the boy and said, “Is not the arrow farther away?”

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.

Jonathan called to the boy, “Hurry, be quick, do not stay!” Then Jonathan’s boy picked up the arrow and came to his owner.

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

The boy knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew what had happened.

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

Then Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to his boy and told him, “Go, take 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.

When the boy was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground. He bowed three times. Then they kissed each other and cried together, but David more.

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.

Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace. For we have promised each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will be between me and you, and between my children and your children forever.’” Then David got up and left, and Jonathan went into the city.
