1 S idaas daraaddeed Daa'uud halkaas wuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u baxsaday xagga bohoshii Cadullaam, oo markii walaalihiis iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhammu ay taas maqleen ayay halkaas isagii ugu tageen.

So David departed and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.

2 O o mid kasta oo cidhiidhi ku jira, iyo mid kasta oo deyn qaba, iyo mid kasta oo aan raalli ahaynba isagay isu soo urursadeen, oo isna wuxuu u noqday madax u taliya, oo waxaa isaga la joogay in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin.

And everyone in distress or in debt or discontented gathered to him, and he became a commander over them. And there were with him about 400 men.

3 M arkaasaa Daa'uud halkaas ka tegey oo Misfaahdii reer Moo'aab u kacay; oo wuxuu boqorkii reer Moo'aab ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, aabbahay iyo hooyaday ha soo baxeen oo ha kula joogeen, ilaa aan ogaado waxa Ilaah ii samaynayo.

And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray you, come out and be with you till I know what God will do for me.

4 O o wuxuu iyagii hor keenay boqorkii reer Moo'aab, oo isagay la joogeen intii Daa'uud dhufayska ku jiray oo dhan.

And he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.

5 M arkaasaa Nebi Gaad wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Dhufayska ha ku sii jirine bax oo waxaad tagtaa dalka Yahuudah. Markaasaa Daa'uud tegey, oo wuxuu yimid kayntii Xaared. Saa'uul Oo Dilay Wadaaddadii Nob

Then the prophet Gad said to David, Do not remain in the stronghold; leave, and get into the land of Judah. So David left and went into the forest of Hareth.

6 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu maqlay in Daa'uud iyo raggii la jirayba la soo arkay; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu joogay Gibecaah, isagoo hoos fadhiya geed Raamaah ku yaal, oo warankiisiina gacanta ugu jiro, addoommadiisii oo dhammuna hareero taagan yihiin.

Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height, his spear in his hand and all his servants standing about him.

7 K olkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi addoommadiisii hareerahiisa taagnaa, Bal maqla hadda, kuwiinnan reer Benyaamiinow, wiilka Yesay miyuu midkiin kastaba siinayaa beero iyo beero canab ah, oo miyuu kulligiin idinka wada dhigi doonaa kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya?

Saul said to his servants who stood about him, Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards and make you all commanders of thousands and hundreds,

8 M a saasaad kulligiin iigu heshiiseen, oo uu midkiinna iigu soo sheegi waayay markii wiilkaygu axdi la dhiganayay wiilka Yesay, oo uu midkiinna ii nixi waayay, wuuna iigu soo sheegi waayay in wiilkaygu igu kiciyey addoonkayga inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

That all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in wait, as he does this day?

9 M arkaasaa waxaa jawaabay Do'eeggii reer Edom oo ag taagnaa Saa'uul addoommadiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan arkay wiilkii Yesay oo Nob ku soo socda oo u yimid Axiimeleg ina Axiituub.

Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood with Saul’s servants, said, I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.

10 O o isna Rabbiguu wax u weyddiiyey, oo saadna wuu siiyey, oo seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiinna wuu siiyey.

And inquired of the Lord for him, and gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

11 K olkaasaa boqorku u cid diray in loo yeedho wadaadkii Axiimeleg ee ahaa ina Axiituub, isagii iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhanba, kuwaas oo ahaa wadaaddadii Nob joogay; oo iyana kulligood boqorkii bay u yimaadeen.

Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were at Nob, and they all came to the king.

12 M arkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Bal hadda maqal, ina Axiituubow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa i kan.

Saul said, Hear now, you son of Ahitub. He replied, Here I am, my lord.

13 K olkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu heshiiseen, adiga iyo ina Yesay, oo maxaad u siisay kibista iyo seefta, oo Ilaahna wax ugu weyddiisay si uu iigu kaco inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

Saul said to him, Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so he could rise against me to lie in wait, as he does this day?

14 M arkaasaa Axiimeleg wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Bal yaa addoommadaada ka mid ah oo sida Daa'uud aamin u ah, kaasoo boqorku soddog u yahay, oo weliba shirkaaga ka qayb gala, oo reerkaagana sharaf ku leh?

Then Ahimelech answered the king, And who is so faithful among all your servants as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council and honored in your house?

15 A nigu ma maantaan bilaabay inaan isaga Ilaah wax u weyddiiyo? Taasu ha iga fogaato. Anigu waxan oo dhan waxba kama ogi wax yar iyo wax badan toona, haddaba, boqorow, anigoo addoonkaaga ah iyo reerka aabbahay oo dhanba waxba ha na saarin.

Have I only today begun inquiring of God for him? No! Let not the king impute any wrong to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.

16 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Axiimelegow, hubaal waad dhimanaysaa adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhammuba.

said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.

17 D abadeedna boqorkii wuxuu waardiyayaashii hareerihiisa taagnaa ku yidhi, Ku jeesta oo wadaaddada Rabbiga laaya, maxaa yeelay, gacantoodu Daa'uud bay la jirtaa, oo iyagoo og inuu baxsaday ayayan ii soo sheegin, laakiinse boqorka addoommadiisii way diideen inay gacantooda ku fidiyaan oo laayaan wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

And the king said to the guard that stood about him, Turn and slay the Lord’s priests, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he fled and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hands against the Lord’s priests.

18 M arkaasaa boqorkii Do'eeg ku yidhi, Adigu ku jeeso oo wadaaddada laa. Do'eeggii reer Edomna wuu ku jeestay oo wadaaddadii laayay, oo maalintaas wuxuu laayay shan iyo siddeetan qof oo wada qaba eefod dhar wanaagsan laga sameeyey.

The king said to Doeg, You turn and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests and slew that day eighty-five persons who wore the priest’s linen ephod.

19 O o magaaladii wadaaddada oo Nob ahaydna wixii joogay ayuu seef ku laayay. Rag iyo dumarba, iyo carruur iyo caanonuugba, iyo dibi iyo dameerro iyo idoba wuxuu ku wada laayay seef.

And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the sword; both men and women, children and sucklings, oxen and donkeys and sheep, he put to the sword.

20 O o waxaa ka baxsaday oo Daa'uud ka daba cararay mid ka mid ah wiilashii Axiimeleg ina Axiituub, magiciisana la odhan jiray Aabyaataar.

And one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub named Abiathar escaped and fled after David.

21 M arkaasaa Aabyaataar wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay in Saa'uul laayay wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the Lord’s priests.

22 K olkaasaa Daa'uud Aabyaataar ku yidhi, Maalintii Do'eeggii reer Edom halkaas joogay, waan garanayay inuu Saa'uul u sheegi doono. Dadkii reerka aabbahaa oo dhan anigaa dhimashada u soo jiiday.

David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all your father’s house.

23 H addaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.

Stay with me, fear not; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. But with me you shall be safeguarded.
