1Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
1 I go no yaadin, kal i ci Dawda se ka ne: «Guna, Filistancey neeya, i goono ga Keyla wongu. I goono g'i kom alkama karayaŋ do.»
2Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
2 Dawda binde na Rabbi hã ka ne: «Ya koy ka Filistancey wo kar no?» Rabbi ne Dawda se: «Ma koy ka Filistancey kar ka Keyla faaba.»
3And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
3 Dawda alborey binde ne a se: «Guna, baa ne Yahuda ra iri goono ga humburu, sanku fa binde d'iri koy Keyla ka gaaba nda Filistancey wongu marga?»
4Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
4 Kala Dawda ye ka Rabbi hã koyne. Rabbi mo na sanno yeti a se ka ne: «Tun ka zulli ka koy Keyla, zama ay ga Filistancey daŋ ni kambe ra.»
5So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
5 Dawda nda nga alborey binde koy Keyla. I na Filistancey wongu k'i hawey ku. I n'i kar mo da halaciyaŋ bambata. Yaadin no Dawda na Keyla gorokoy faaba nd'a.
6And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
6 A go mo waato kaŋ Abiyatar, Ahimelek izo zuru ka kaa Dawda do Keyla, a kande efod* kwaay nga kambe ra.
7And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
7 Koyne i ye ka ci Sawulu se ka ne Dawda kaa Keyla. Sawulu mo ne: «Irikoy n'a daŋ ay kambe ra, zama daabante no a go, za kaŋ a furo kwaara ra kaŋ gonda me daabirji nda karangaleyaŋ.»
8And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
8 Kala Sawulu na jama kulu ce i ma kaa wongo do, i ma koy Keyla, zama i ma Dawda nda nga alborey kulu daŋ game k'i windi.
9And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
9 Amma Dawda bay kaŋ Sawulu goono ga hasaraw dabari soola nga se. A binde ne Alfa Abiyatar se: «Ma kande efod* kwaayo neewo.»
10Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
10 Waato din gaa no Dawda ne: «Ya Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo, ni tamo maa baaru, haciika Sawulu goono ga ceeci nga ma kaa ne Keyla ka kwaara halaci ay sabbay se.
11Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
11 Keyla borey g'ay daŋ a kambe ra no? Wala cimi no Sawulu ga zulli ka kaa sanda mate kaŋ ay, ni tamo maa baaru? Ya Rabbi Irikoy, Israyla wano, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ci ay, ni tamo se.» Rabbi ne a se: «A ga zulli ka kaa.»
12Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.
12 Waato din gaa no Dawda ne: «Keyla borey binde ga in d'ay alborey daŋ Sawulu kambe ra no?» Rabbi ne: «I ga ni nooyandi.»
13Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
13 Dawda nda nga alborey binde, boro zangu iddu cine no, i tun ka fun Keyla ra ka koy naŋ kaŋ ngey du a koyyaŋ daama. I ci Sawulu se ka ne Dawda kooma ka fun Keyla, kala nga mo fay da nga dirawo.
14And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
14 Dawda na nga goray te saajo ra wongu fuwey ra. A goro mo Safela* ra, Zif saajo ra. Sawulu soobay k'a ceeci zaari kulu, amma Irikoy man'a daŋ Sawulu kambe ra.
15And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
15 Dawda faham mo kaŋ Sawulu fatta nga fundo ceeciyaŋ se. Kala Dawda mo goro Zif saaji fimbo ra.
16And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
16 Yonata, Sawulu izo mo tun ka koy Dawda do saaji fimbo ra. A n'a kamba gaabandi Irikoy ra.
17And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
17 A ne: «Ma si humburu, zama ay baaba Sawulu kamba si du nin bo. Ni ga ciya bonkooni Israyla boŋ, ay mo ga ciya ni se ihinkanta. Ay baaba Sawulu mo bay kaŋ yaadin no.»
18And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
18 I boro hinka binde na sarti sambu Rabbi jine. Dawda goro saaji fimbo ra, Yonata ye ka koy nga kwaara.
19Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
19 Waato din gaa Zif borey, ngey mo kaa Sawulu do Jibeya ka ne: «E! Manti iri do no Dawda bara ga tugu, saajo wongu fuwey ra Hacila tudo boŋ, kaŋ go saajo se dandi kambe?
20Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.
20 Sohõ binde, ya nin bonkoono, ma zumbu ka koy mate kaŋ ni fundo ga ba koyyaŋo. Iri mo, iri wane ga ti iri m'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra.»
21And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.
21 Sawulu ne: «Albarkanteyaŋ no araŋ wo, Rabbi waney, zama araŋ ga bakar ay se.
22Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
22 Wa koy, ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray. Araŋ ma tabbatandi ka tonton, araŋ ma bay. Araŋ m'a tuguyaŋo do bay mo, da bora kaŋ di a noodin, zama i ci ay se ka ne a ga caram gumo.
23See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
23 Araŋ binde ma faham da lokotey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ra a ga tugu, gaa araŋ ma ye ka kaa ay do da tabbat, ay mo ma koy araŋ banda. A ga ciya mo, d'a go laabo ra, kala ay m'a ce gana, y'a kaa taray Yahudiya dumey kulu ra.»
24And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
24 Kala i tun ka Sawulu jin ka koy Zif. Amma Dawda nda nga borey go Mawon saajo ra, Gooru Beero ra, taasi beero se dandi kamba.
25Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
25 Sawulu nda nga alborey koy ka Dawda ceeci. I ci Dawda se, woodin se binde a zulli ka koy tondey do. A goro mo Mawon saajo ra. Saaya kaŋ cine Sawulu maa baaru, kala a na Dawda gana Mawon saajo ra.
26And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
26 Kala Sawulu koy tudo caraw kambu fa gaa. Dawda nda nga borey mo go tudo ya-haray kambo gaa. Dawda waasu mo ka fun nga nango ra Sawulu humburkumay sabbay se, Zama Sawulu nda nga borey na Dawda nda nga borey windi k'i daŋ game, zama ngey m'i di.
27But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
27 Kala diya fo mo kaa Sawulu do ka ne: «Ma waasu ka kaa, zama Filistancey kande wurrandi laabo ra.»
28Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
28 Sawulu binde bare ka fay da Dawda ganayaŋ. A koy zama nga ma wongu nda Filistancey. Woodin se no i ga ne nango din se Sela-Hammalekot.
29And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
