¹Oo markii uu dhammeeyey lahadliddii uu Saa'uul la hadlayay ayay naftii Yoonaataan ku xidhantay naftii Daa'uud, oo Yoonaataan wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisa.

¹And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth him as his own soul.

²Oo maalintaasaa Saa'uul qaatay oo mar dambena uma uu oggolaan inuu gurigii aabbihiis tago.

²And Saul taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him to turn back to the house of his father.

³Markaasaa Yoonaataan iyo Daa'uud axdi dhigteen, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu isaga u jeclaaday sidii naftiisii.

³And Jonathan maketh — also David — a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,

⁴Markaasaa Yoonaataan iska bixiyey khamiiskiisii uu huwanaa, oo Daa'uud siiyey, iyo dharkiisii, iyo xataa seeftiisii, iyo qaansadiisii, iyo suundhabarkiisii.

⁴and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which [is] upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle.

⁵Oo Daa'uudna meel alla meeshii Saa'uul u diro ayuu tegi jiray, wuuna ku guulaysan jiray; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu madax uga dhigay raggii dagaalka, oo taasuna way la wanaagsanayd dadkii oo dhan iyo addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhanba.

⁵And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.

⁶Oo markay yimaadeen, markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday layntii reer Falastiin, dumarkii baa waxay ka yimaadeen magaalooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan si ay Boqor Saa'uul uga hor tagaan iyagoo gabyaya oo cayaaraya, oo faraxsan oo daf iyo alaabtii muusikada tumaya.

⁶And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David`s returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing — also the dancers — to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;

⁷Oo dumarkiina midba midda kalay gabay u celisay, iyagoo cayaaraya, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Saa'uul wuxuu laayay kumanyaalkiisii, Daa'uudna wuxuu laayay tobanyaalkiisii kun.

⁷and the women answer — those playing, and say, `Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.`

⁸Saa'uulna aad buu u cadhooday, oo hadalkaas ayuu ka xumaaday, wuxuuna yidhi, Waxay Daa'uud ku sheegeen tobanyaal kun, laakiinse aniga waxay igu sheegeen kumanyaal; oo maxaa intaas ka badan oo uu heli lahaa boqortooyada mooyaane?

⁸And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he saith, `They have given to David myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to him [is] only the kingdom;`

⁹Oo Saa'uulna maalintaas dabadeed Daa'uud si xun buu u fiirin jiray.

⁹and Saul is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth.

¹⁰Oo subaxdii dambe ruux xun oo xag Ilaah ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul, oo sidii nebi ayuu wax ugu sii sheegay guriga dhexdiisa. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu gacanta ku dhuftay kataarad siduu maalin walba yeeli jiray; oo Saa'uulna gacantuu ku haystay warankiisii.

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,

¹¹Oo wuxuu yidhi, Daa'uud derbigaan ku qodbi doonaa. Markaasaa Saa'uul warankii ku soo ganay. Daa'uudna laba jeer buu ka gabbaday.

¹¹and Saul casteth the javelin, and saith, `I smite through David, even through the wall;` and David turneth round out of his presence twice.

¹²Oo Saa'uulna Daa'uud buu ka cabsanayay, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa isaga la jiray, wuuna ka tegey Saa'uul.

¹²And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside;

¹³Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuu iska fogeeyey isagii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay sirkaal kun u taliya; isaguna dadka hortiisuu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.

¹³and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh in, before the people.

¹⁴Oo Daa'uudna wuu ku guulaysan jiray socodkiisa oo dhan, Rabbiguna wuu la jiray.

¹⁴And David is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah [is] with him,

¹⁵Oo Saa'uulna markuu arkay in Daa'uud aad u guulaystay ayuu la yaabay.

¹⁵and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,

¹⁶Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah oo dhanba Daa'uud aad bay u jeclaayeen; waayo, isagu hortooduu ka bixi jiray, soona geli jiray.

¹⁶and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.

¹⁷Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gabadhayda weyn oo Meerab ah ayaan kuu siinayaa inaad guursato; laakiinse waa inaad ii xoog badnaato oo aad dagaallada Rabbigana dirirto. Waayo, Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Yuusan gacantayda ku bixin, laakiinse gacanta reer Falastiin ha ku baxo.

¹⁷And Saul saith unto David, `Lo, my elder daughter Merab — her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;` and Saul said, `Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.`

¹⁸Markaasaa Daa'uudna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, War yaan ahay, oo noloshaydu waa maxay, amase reer aabbahay xaggay ka joogaan reer binu Israa'iil, inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa?

¹⁸And David saith unto Saul, `Who [am] I? and what my life — the family of my father in Israel — that I am son-in-law to the king?`

¹⁹Laakiinse wakhtigii Saa'uul gabadhiisii Meerab ahayd Daa'uud loo guurin lahaa, waxaa la siiyey oo loo guuriyey Cadrii'eel oo reer Mexolaad ahaa.

¹⁹And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

²⁰Oo gabadhii Saa'uul oo Miikaal ahayd ayaa Daa'uud jeclaatay. Markaasaa Saa'uul loo sheegay, oo taasuna isagii way ka farxisay.

²⁰And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,

²¹Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu isyidhi, Dabin ha ku noqotee, isaga waan siin iyada, si ay gacanta reer Falastiin isaga gees uga ahaato. Sidaas aawadeed Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Adigu maanta waxaad mar labaad noqonaysaa wiilkii aan soddogga u ahaa.

²¹and Saul saith, `I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;` and Saul saith unto David, `By the second — thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.`

²²Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku amray oo ku yidhi, Daa'uud hoos ahaan ula hadla, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Bal eeg, boqorku wuu kugu farxay, oo addoommadiisa oo dhammuna way ku jecel yihiin; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed boqorku soddog ha kuu noqdo.

²²And Saul commandeth his servants, `Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.`

²³Oo addoommadii Saa'uulna erayadaas waxay u sheegeen Daa'uud. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Ma waxay idinla tahay inay fudud dahay inaan ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa, anigoo ah nin miskiin ah oo weliba derejo yar?

²³And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, `Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king — and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?`

²⁴Oo Saa'uul addoommadiisiina way u soo sheegeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud sidaasuu u hadlay.

²⁴And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying, `According to these words hath David spoken.`

²⁵Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Sidan Daa'uud ku dhaha, Boqorku waxba yarad kaa dooni maayo, boqol buuryo oo reer Falastiin oo boqorka cadaawayaashiisa looga aarguto mooyaane. Haddaba Saa'uul wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud u gacangeliyo reer Falastiin.

²⁵And Saul saith, `Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines — to be avenged on the enemies of the king;` and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.

²⁶Oo addoommadiisiina markay Daa'uud erayadaas u soo sheegeen ayaa Daa'uud aad ugu farxay inuu ahaado wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Maalmahaasuna ma ay dhammaan;

²⁶And his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,

²⁷markaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo tegey isagii iyo raggiisiiba, oo waxay reer Falastiin ka soo laayeen laba boqol oo nin; markaasaa Daa'uud buuryadoodii keenay, oo boqorkii bay siiyeen tiradoodii oo dhan, si Daa'uud u noqdo wiilkii boqorku soddogga u ahaa. Saa'uulna wuu siiyey gabadhiisii Miikaal inay naag u noqoto.

²⁷and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to him Michal his daughter for a wife.

²⁸Oo Saa'uulna wuu arkay wuuna ogaa in Rabbigu Daa'uud la jiro; oo Saa'uul gabadhiisii Miikaal ahaydna Daa'uud bay caashaqday.

²⁸And Saul seeth and knoweth that Jehovah [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him,

²⁹Saa'uulna aad buu uga sii cabsanayay Daa'uud; oo Saa'uulna had iyo goorba Daa'uud cadow buu u ahaa.Markaasaa waxaa soo baxay amiirradii reer Falastiin; oo sidii ay marar badan u soo bixi jireen, ayaa Daa'uud ka sii guul badnaa addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhan; oo sidaas aawadeed magiciisii aad iyo aad buu caan u noqday.

²⁹and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet; and Saul is an enemy with David all the days.

³⁰Markaasaa waxaa soo baxay amiirradii reer Falastiin; oo sidii ay marar badan u soo bixi jireen, ayaa Daa'uud ka sii guul badnaa addoommadii Saa'uul oo dhan; oo sidaas aawadeed magiciisii aad iyo aad buu caan u noqday.

³⁰And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
