1 O o waxaa Saa'uul Gibecaah ugu yimid kuwii reer Siif, iyagoo leh, Miyuusan Daa'uud ku dhuuman buurta Xakiilaah, oo lamadegaanka ku hor taal?

And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, facing the waste?

2 M arkaasaa Saa'uul kacay, oo wuxuu ku dhaadacay cidladii Siif, isagoo wata saddex kun oo nin oo reer binu Israa'iil laga soo doortay, inuu Daa'uud ka soo doondoono cidlada Siif.

And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

3 K olkaasaa Saa'uul soo degay buurtii Xakiilaah, taasoo lamadegaanka ku hor taal, waddadana ku dhinac taal. Laakiinse Daa'uud cidladuu joogay, oo wuxuuna arkay in Saa'uul cidlada uga soo daba galay.

And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which faces the waste, by the way side. And David abode in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul had come after him into the wilderness,

4 S idaas daraaddeed Daa'uud basaasyuu soo diray, wuxuuna ogaaday in Saa'uul xaqiiqa ahaan yimid.

David sent out spies, and learned that Saul was certainly come.

5 M arkaasaa Daa'uud soo kacay oo yimid meeshii Saa'uul degay, oo Daa'uud wuxuu arkay meeshii Saa'uul jiifay, isaga iyo Abneer ina Neer oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidankiisa, oo Saa'uulna wuxuu jiifay meeshii gaadhifardoodku joogay dhexdeeda, oo dadkuna hareerihiisay degeen.

And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the wagon-defence, and the people were encamped round about him.

6 M arkaasaa Daa'uud jawaabay oo ku yidhi kii reer Xeed oo Axiimeleg ahaa iyo Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo Yoo'aabna walaalkiis ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaa ii raacaya Saa'uul xeraduu joogo? Kolkaasaa Abiishay ku yidhi, anaa ku raacaya.

And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

7 S idaasay Daa'uud iyo Abiishay dadkii ugu yimaadeen habeennimo, oo waxay arkeen Saa'uul oo hurda meeshii gaadhifardoodka dhexdeeda, oo warankiisiina dhulkuu ku mudnaa meel madaxiisa u dhow; oo Abneer iyo dadkiina hareerihiisay jiifeen.

And David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the wagon-defence, and his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.

8 M arkaasaa Abiishay wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Maanta Ilaah wuxuu kuu soo gacangeliyey cadowgaagii. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye i daa aan wareemee oo aan mar keliya dhulka ku qodbee, oo mar labaad ku dhufan maayo.

And Abishai said to David, God has delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day; and now let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the ground once, and I will not do it the second time.

9 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Abiishay ku yidhi, Ha dilin, waayo, bal yaa gacan u qaadi kara Rabbiga kiisa subkan, oo haddana eedla'aan doona?

And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?

10 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye, waxaa isaga dili doona Rabbiga, ama maalintiisii baa iska iman doonta, amase dagaal buu geli doonaa markaasaa la dili doonaa.

And David said, Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will surely smite him; either his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish.

11 R abbiga ha iga fogeeyo inaan gacanta u qaado Rabbiga kiisa subkan. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye inoo qaad waranka madaxiisa ag yaal iyo kusadda biyaha, oo ina keen aannu tagnee.

Jehovah forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed! But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

12 S idaas aawadeed Daa'uud wuxuu Saa'uul madaxiisii ka ag qaatay warankii iyo kusaddii biyaha; kolkaasay tageen, oo ninnaba ma arkin, lamana ogayn, oo midna ma toosin, waayo, kulligood way wada hurdeen, maxaa yeelay, waxaa xagga Rabbiga kaga soo degtay hurdo weyn.

And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they went away, and no man saw, and none knew, and none awaked, for they were all asleep; for a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen upon them.

13 M arkaasaa Daa'uud dhankii kale u gudbay oo wuxuu ku dul istaagay buur iyaga in yar ka fog, oo waxaana u dhexeeyey bannaan weyn.

And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space between them.

14 K olkaasaa Daa'uud u dhawaaqay dadkii iyo Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer, oo yidhi, Abneerow, war miyaadan jawaabayn? Markaasaa Abneer jawaabay oo yidhi, Kaaga boqorka u dhawaaqayaa, kumaad tahay?

And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

15 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Abneer ku yidhi, War sow ma tihid nin rag ah? Yaana kula mid ah oo reer binu Israa'iil ku jira? Haddaba maxaad u dhawri weyday sayidkaaga boqorka ah? Waayo, mid dadka ka mid ah ayaa xerada u galay inuu boqorka sayidkaaga ah dilo.

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? and why hast thou not guarded thy lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king thy lord.

16 W ar waxan aad samaysay ma wanaagsana. Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye waxaad istaahishaan dhimasho, maxaa yeelay, ma aydaan dhawrin sayidkiinna ah Rabbiga kiisa subkan. Haddaba bal fiiriya boqorka warankiisii iyo kusaddiisii biyaha oo madaxiisa ag yiil.

This thing is not good which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guarded your master, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.

17 M arkaasaa Saa'uul gartay Daa'uud codkiisii oo yidhi, Wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, kaasu ma codkaagii baa? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, kanu waa codkaygii, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow.

And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

18 O o haddana wuxuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, maxaad ii eryanaysaa, anoo addoonkaaga ah? Waayo, maxaan sameeyey? Waase maxay xumaanta gacantayda ku jirtaa?

And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

19 H addaba waan ku baryayaaye, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow, bal maqal erayadayda anoo addoonkaaga ah. Oo haddii Rabbigu igu kaa diray qurbaan ha aqbalo, laakiinse haddii waxa igu kaa diray ay binu-aadmi yihiin, Rabbiga hortiisa ha ku inkaarnaadeen, waayo, maanta way i eryeen si aanan u sii joogin dhaxalkii Rabbiga, oo waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Tag oo ilaahyo kale u adeeg.

And now, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day from adhering to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

20 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed dhiiggaygu yuusan ku daadan meel Rabbiga hortiisa ka fog, waayo, boqorkii reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaad u soo baxday si aad tagfi u doondoonto, oo waa sidii mid buuraha digaagduur ka ugaadhsanaya.

And now, let not my blood fall to the earth far from the face of Jehovah; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when they hunt a partridge on the mountains.

21 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Waan dembaabay, wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, iska noqo, waayo, anigu mar dambe wax ku yeeli maayo, maxaa yeelay, maanta naftaydu qaali bay kula noqotay. Bal eeg, waan nacasoobay oo aad iyo aad baan u qaldamay.

And Saul said, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have acted foolishly, and have erred exceedingly.

22 M arkaasaa Daa'uud ugu jawaabay, Boqorow, waa kan warankaagii! Haddaba ragga dhallinyarada ah midkood ha u yimaado oo ha kuu qaado.

And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear, and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

23 O o Rabbiguna nin walba wuu ka abaalmarin doonaa xaqnimadiisa iyo aaminnimadiisa, waayo, Rabbigu maanta gacantayduu kugu soo riday, aniguse ma aan doonaynin inaan gacantayda u qaado Rabbiga kiisa subkan.

And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for Jehovah gave thee into hand this day, and I would not stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.

24 O o bal eeg, sida maanta naftaadu iigu dheeraatay, sidaas oo kale naftaydu ha ku dheeraato Rabbiga hortiisa, oo dhibaato oo dhanna ha iga samatabbixiyo.

And behold, as thy life was highly esteemed this day in mine eyes, so let my life be highly esteemed in the eyes of Jehovah, that he may deliver me out of all distress.

25 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Wiilkaygii Daa'uudow, waad barakaysan tahay. Hubaal xoog baad yeelan doontaa, waadna guulaysan doontaa. Dabadeedna Daa'uud waa iska tegey, Saa'uulna meeshiisuu ku noqday.

And Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt certainly do, and shalt certainly prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
