1And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
1 Kala Zif borey kaa Sawulu do Jibeya ra. I goono ga ne: «Manti Hacila tudo kaŋ ga taasi beero do haray guna, a boŋ no Dawda bara ga tugu?»
2Then 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.
2 Sawulu binde tun ka zulli saajo kaŋ go Zif haray ra. Israyla boro suubanante sanda boro zambar hinza cine go a banda Dawda ceeciyaŋ se Zif saajo ra.
3And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
3 Sawulu binde na nga gata sinji Hacila tudo ra kaŋ goono ga taasi beero do haray guna fonda boŋ. Amma Dawda goono ga goro saajo ra. A di mo Sawulu goono ga nga ce gana saajo ra.
4David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
4 Dawda binde na ma-cararayaŋ daŋ. A du ka bay mo kaŋ daahir Sawulu kaa.
5And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
5 Dawda tun ka kaa nango kaŋ Sawulu na nga gata sinji din. Dawda di nango kaŋ Sawulu bara ga kani da Abner, Ner izo, Sawulu wonkoyo. Sawulu goono ga kani dunkayo do. A borey go ga zumbu a windanta.
6Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
6 Kala Dawda tu ka ne Ahimelek, Hittance, da Abisay Zeruwiya ize Yowab kayne se: «May no ga koy gata ra ay banda Sawulu do?» Abisay ne: «Ay wo ga koy ni banda.»
7So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
7 Dawda da Abisay binde kaa borey do cin. A go mo Sawulu go ga kani ka jirbi dunkayo bindo ra. A yaajo mo go ga sinji ganda a boŋo do haray. Abner mo, da borey kulu go ga kani k'a windi.
8Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
8 Waato din binde Abisay ne Dawda se: «Irikoy na ni ibara daŋ ni kambe ra hunkuna. Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, kala ma naŋ ay m'a hay da yaajo, karyaŋ folloŋ. Y'a korab k'a ta laabo gaa. Ay si ye k'a kar sorro hinkanta koyne.»
9And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?
9 Dawda ne Abisay se: «Ma s'a halaci, zama may no ka gonda hina a ma kambe salle Rabbi wane suubananta boŋ, a ma jaŋ taali?»
10David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
10 Dawda ye ka ne koyne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, Rabbi g'a kar, wala a buuyaŋ zaaro ma kaa, wala a ma koy wongu do ka halaci.
11The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
11 Rabbi ma boriyandi hal ay m'ay kambe salle Rabbi wane suubananta boŋ! Amma sohõ ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yaajo da hari zolla kaŋ go a boŋo do haray sambu, iri ma koy.»
12So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
12 Dawda binde na yaajo da hari zolla kaŋ go Sawulu boŋo do haray din sambu, i na ngey diraw te. Boro kulu mana di, boro kulu mana bay, afo kulu mo mana hay, zama i kulu goono ga jirbi, zama jirbi kaŋ ga kom no fun Rabbi do k'i di.
13Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
13 Waato din gaa Dawda daaru ka koy ya-haray kambo gaa. A kay tondo yolla gaa nangu mooro, i game ra mo gonda jandi kuuku.
14And 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?
14 Dawda na borey da Abner, Ner izo ce ka ne: «Ya nin Abner, ni si tu?» Gaa no Abner tu ka ne: «May no, nin kaŋ ga bonkoono ce?»
15And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
15 Dawda mo ne Abner se: «Ni wo, manti yaarukom no? May no ga hima ni cine Israyla kulu ra? Day, ifo se no ni si koyo ni bonkoono batu? Zama borey ra boro fo furo zama nga ma koyo ni bonkoono halaci se.
16This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
16 Hayo wo kaŋ ni te, a si boori. Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, araŋ to buuyaŋ za kaŋ araŋ mana araŋ koyo batu, Rabbi wane suubananta. Sohõ binde, ma guna ka di naŋ kaŋ bonkoono yaajo, da hari zolla kaŋ go a boŋo do haray go.»
17And 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.
17 Sawulu binde na Dawda jinda bay ka ne: «Ya ay izo Dawda, woone ya ni jinde no?» Dawda ne: «Ya bonkoono ay koyo, ay jinde no.»
18And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
18 A ye ka ne koyne: «Ifo se no ay koyo goono ga nga bannya ce konda ŋwa? Zama ifo no ay te? Wala taali woofo no ka bara ay do?
19Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
19 Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, naŋ bonkoono ay koyo ma maa ay, nga bannya sanney. Hala day Rabbi no ka ni daŋ ma gaaba nd'ay, a ma sargay ta. Amma da day Adam-izey no, kulu laalanteyaŋ no Rabbi jine, zama hunkuna i n'ay gaaray ya si du ka lamba Rabbi tubo gaa. I goono ga ne ay se: ‹Koy ka may tooru fooyaŋ se.›
20Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
20 Sohõ binde, ma si naŋ ay kuro ma mun ka mooru Rabbi moyduma, zama Israyla bonkoono fatta nga ma kuma ceeci se, sanda mate kaŋ cine i ga darfanda koli tondey ra.»
21Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
21 Kala Sawulu ne: «Ay na zunubi te. Ya ay izo Dawda, ni ma ye ka kaa, zama ay si ye ka hasaraw fo te ni se, za kaŋ ay fundo gonda darza ni jine hunkuna. A go, ay na saamotaray te, ay harta mo gumo.»
22And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
22 Dawda tu ka ne: «Bonkoono yaajo neeya. Naŋ arwasey ra afo ma daaru ka kaa ne k'a ta.
23The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
23 Rabbi mo ga bana boro kulu se a adilitara d'a naanayo boŋ. Zama Rabbi na ni daŋ ay kambe ra hunkuna, amma ay mana ta k'ay kambe salle ka gaaba nda Rabbi wane suubananta.
24And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
24 A go mo, sanda mate kaŋ cine ni fundo ya kuray hari no ay se hunkuna gumo, yaadin mo no ay fundo ma ciya kuray hari Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A m'ay faaba mo masiiba kulu gaa.»
25Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
25 Waato din gaa no Sawulu ne Dawda se: «Ya ay izo Dawda, ni ya albarkante no. Ni ga muraadu bambata yaŋ te. Haciika mo ni ga hin ka te zaama.» Dawda binde na nga fondo gana. Sawulu mo ye nga nango do.
