¹Markaasaa Saa'uul la hadlay wiilkiisii Yoonaataan iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku amray inay Daa'uud dilaan.

¹And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,

²Laakiinse Saa'uul wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ahaa Daa'uud aad buu ugu farxay. Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Aabbahay Saa'uul wuxuu doonayaa inuu ku dilo. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, subaxdii digtoonow, oo intaad meel qarsoon gashid dhuumo;

²and Jonathan son of Saul delighted exceedingly in David, and Jonathan declareth to David, saying, `Saul my father is seeking to put thee to death, and, now, take heed, I pray thee, in the morning, and thou hast abode in a secret place, and been hidden,

³oo anigu waan tegayaa, oo beerta aad ku jirto dhexdeeda ayaan aabbahay ag istaagayaa, oo xaggaagaan aabbahay kala hadlayaa, oo hadday wax jiraanna waan kuu soo sheegayaa.

³and I — I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where thou [art], and I speak of thee unto my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared to thee.`

⁴Oo Yoonaataanna wax wanaagsan ayuu aabbihiis Saa'uul uga sheegay Daa'uud, oo ku yidhi, Addoonkaaga Daa'uud ha ku dembaabin, maxaa yeelay, isagu kuguma uu dembaabin, oo shuqulladiisuna xaggaaga aad bay ugu wanaagsanaayeen,

⁴And Jonathan speaketh good of David unto Saul his father, and saith unto him, `Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works for thee [are] very good;

⁵waayo, intuu isku biimeeyey ayuu kii reer Falastiin dilay, oo Rabbiguna guul weyn buu u sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Waad aragtay, waanad ku faraxday, haddaba maxaad dhiig aan xaq qabin ugu dembaabaysaa inaad sababla'aan Daa'uud u disho?

⁵yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?`

⁶Markaasaa Saa'uul maqlay codkii Yoonaataan, oo wuxuu ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga inaan Daa'uud la dilayn.

⁶And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, `Jehovah liveth — he doth not die.`

⁷Dabadeedna Yoonaataan Daa'uud buu u yeedhay, oo u sheegay waxyaalahan oo dhan. Markaasaa Yoonaataan Daa'uud u keenay Saa'uul, oo uu hor joogay sidii waagii hore.

⁷And Jonathan calleth for David, and Jonathan declareth to him all these words, and Jonathan bringeth in David unto Saul, and he is before him as heretofore.

⁸Oo haddana mar kale waxaa dhacay dagaal. Markaasaa Daa'uud baxay oo la diriray reer Falastiin, oo intuu aad u laayay ayay ka hor carareen.

⁸And there addeth to be war, and David goeth out and fighteth against the Philistines, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and they flee from his face.

⁹Oo haddana ruux xun oo xagga Rabbiga ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul isagoo gurigiisa dhex fadhiya oo warankiisii gacanta ugu jiro; markaasaa Daa'uud gacanta ku dhuftay kataaraddii.

⁹And a spirit of sadness [from] Jehovah is unto Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,

¹⁰Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud wareemo oo uu derbiga ku qodbo; laakiinse wuu ka cararay Saa'uul hortiisii oo Saa'uul wuxuu warankii ka taagay derbigii. Daa'uudna wuu cararay, oo habeenkaasuu baxsaday.

¹⁰and Saul seeketh to smite with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he freeth himself from the presence of Saul, and he smiteth the javelin through the wall; and David hath fled and escapeth during that night.

¹¹Markaasaa Saa'uul rag u diray Daa'uud gurigiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhawra oo subaxdii isaga dila. Markaasaa Miikaal oo Daa'uud naagtiisii ahayd ayaa warkii u sheegtay, oo ku tidhi, Haddaadan caawa naftaada la baxsan, berri waa lagu dilayaa.

¹¹And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not delivering thy life to-night — tomorrow thou art put to death.`

¹²Haddaba Miikaal waxay Daa'uud ka dejisay daaqaddii; oo isna intuu tegey ayuu cararay, waana baxsaday.

¹²And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;

¹³Markaasaa Miikaal waxay soo qaadday sanam oo sariirtay saartay, oo waxay madaxa u dhigtay barkin dhogor riyood ah, waxayna ku dedday dhar.

¹³and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows, and covereth with a garment.

¹⁴Oo markii Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo kexeeyaan ayay ku tidhi, Wuu bukaa.

¹⁴And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He [is] sick.`

¹⁵Markaasaa Saa'uul raggii soo diray inay Daa'uud soo arkaan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Isagoo sariirta ku jiifa ii keena aan dilee.

¹⁵And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,` — to put him to death.

¹⁶Oo raggiina markay gurigiisii soo galeen ayay arkeen sanamkii oo sariirta saaran oo barkin dhogor riyood ahu madaxa u taal.

¹⁶And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair], [for] his pillows.

¹⁷Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Miikaal ku yidhi, Naa maxaad saas iigu khiyaanaysay oo cadowgayga u sii daysay inuu baxsado? Miikaalna waxay Saa'uul ugu jawaabtay, Wuxuu igu yidhi, I sii daa, yaanan ku diline.

¹⁷And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived me — that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?` and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?`

¹⁸Haddaba Daa'uud wuu cararay oo wuu baxsaday, oo wuxuu Samuu'eel ugu yimid Raamaah, oo uu u sheegay kulli wixii Saa'uul ku sameeyey oo dhan. Markaasaa isaga iyo Samuu'eel waxay tageen oo degeen Naayood.

¹⁸And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.

¹⁹Saa'uulna waa loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Daa'uud wuxuu joogaa Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

¹⁹And it is declared to Saul, saying, `Lo, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.`

²⁰Markaasaa Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo qabtaan; oo iyana markay arkeen guutadii nebiyada ahayd oo wax sheegaya, iyo Samuu'eel oo dhex taagan oo madax u ah ayaa ruuxii Rabbigu ku soo degay raggii Saa'uul soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

²⁰And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul`s messengers, and they prophesy — they also.

²¹Oo taas markii Saa'uul loo sheegay ayuu haddana soo diray rag kale, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen. Oo haddana mar saddexaad ayaa Saa'uul rag kale soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

²¹And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sendeth other messengers, and they prophesy — they also; and Saul addeth and sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy — they also.

²²Markaasaa isagiina Raamaah tegey, oo wuxuu yimid ceelka weyn oo ku yaal Sekuu, dabadeedna dadkii buu wax weyddiiyey oo ku yidhi, Samuu'eel iyo Daa'uud xaggee bay joogaan? Oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Waxay joogaan Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

²²And he goeth — he also — to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, `Where [are] Samuel and David?` and [one] saith, `Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.`

²³Markaasuu wuxuu tegey Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal; markaasaa isagiina waxaa ku soo degay ruuxii Ilaah, oo wuu sii socday, oo sidii nebi buu wax u sheegay tan iyo ilaa uu yimid Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.Oo isna dharkii buu iska siibay, oo Samuu'eel hortiisuu wax ku sii sheegay, oo halkaasuu jiifay isagoo qaawan maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay yidhaahdaan, Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

²³And he goeth thither — unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him — him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesyeth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah,

²⁴Oo isna dharkii buu iska siibay, oo Samuu'eel hortiisuu wax ku sii sheegay, oo halkaasuu jiifay isagoo qaawan maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay yidhaahdaan, Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

²⁴and he strippeth off — he also — his garments, and prophesieth — he also — before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, `Is Saul also among the prophets?`
