¹Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud halkaas wuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u baxsaday xagga bohoshii Cadullaam, oo markii walaalihiis iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhammu ay taas maqleen ayay halkaas isagii ugu tageen.

¹And David goeth thence, and is escaped unto the cave of Adullam, and his brethren hear, and all the house of his father, and go down unto him thither;

²Oo mid kasta oo cidhiidhi ku jira, iyo mid kasta oo deyn qaba, iyo mid kasta oo aan raalli ahaynba isagay isu soo urursadeen, oo isna wuxuu u noqday madax u taliya, oo waxaa isaga la joogay in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin.

²and gather themselves unto him do every man in distress, and every man who hath an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is over them for head, and there are with him about four hundred men.

³Markaasaa Daa'uud halkaas ka tegey oo Misfaahdii reer Moo'aab u kacay; oo wuxuu boqorkii reer Moo'aab ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, aabbahay iyo hooyaday ha soo baxeen oo ha kula joogeen, ilaa aan ogaado waxa Ilaah ii samaynayo.

³And David goeth thence to Mizpeh of Moab, and saith unto the king of Moab, `Let, I pray thee, my father and my mother go out with you, till that I know what God doth for me;`

⁴Oo wuxuu iyagii hor keenay boqorkii reer Moo'aab, oo isagay la joogeen intii Daa'uud dhufayska ku jiray oo dhan.

⁴and he leadeth them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David`s being in the fortress.

⁵Markaasaa Nebi Gaad wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Dhufayska ha ku sii jirine bax oo waxaad tagtaa dalka Yahuudah. Markaasaa Daa'uud tegey, oo wuxuu yimid kayntii Xaared.

⁵And Gad the prophet saith unto David, `Thou dost not abide in a fortress, go, and thou hast entered for thee the land of Judah;` and David goeth and entereth the forest of Hareth.

⁶Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu maqlay in Daa'uud iyo raggii la jirayba la soo arkay; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu joogay Gibecaah, isagoo hoos fadhiya geed Raamaah ku yaal, oo warankiisiina gacanta ugu jiro, addoommadiisii oo dhammuna hareero taagan yihiin.

⁶And Saul heareth that David hath become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants standing by him.

⁷Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi addoommadiisii hareerahiisa taagnaa, Bal maqla hadda, kuwiinnan reer Benyaamiinow, wiilka Yesay miyuu midkiin kastaba siinayaa beero iyo beero canab ah, oo miyuu kulligiin idinka wada dhigi doonaa kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya?

⁷And Saul saith to his servants who are standing by him, `Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites; also to all of you doth the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards! all of you he doth appoint heads of thousands and heads of hundreds!

⁸Ma saasaad kulligiin iigu heshiiseen, oo uu midkiinna iigu soo sheegi waayay markii wiilkaygu axdi la dhiganayay wiilka Yesay, oo uu midkiinna ii nixi waayay, wuuna iigu soo sheegi waayay in wiilkaygu igu kiciyey addoonkayga inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

⁸for ye have conspired all of you against me, and there is none uncovering mine ear about my son`s covenanting with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering mine ear, that my son hath raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.`

⁹Markaasaa waxaa jawaabay Do'eeggii reer Edom oo ag taagnaa Saa'uul addoommadiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan arkay wiilkii Yesay oo Nob ku soo socda oo u yimid Axiimeleg ina Axiituub.

⁹And answer doth Doeg the Edomite, who is set over the servants of Saul, and saith, `I have seen the son of Jesse coming in to Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub,

¹⁰Oo isna Rabbiguu wax u weyddiiyey, oo saadna wuu siiyey, oo seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiinna wuu siiyey.

¹⁰and he asketh for him at Jehovah, and provision hath given to him, and the sword of Goliath the Philistine hath given to him.

¹¹Kolkaasaa boqorku u cid diray in loo yeedho wadaadkii Axiimeleg ee ahaa ina Axiituub, isagii iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhanba, kuwaas oo ahaa wadaaddadii Nob joogay; oo iyana kulligood boqorkii bay u yimaadeen.

¹¹And the king sendeth to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and they come all of them unto the king;

¹²Markaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Bal hadda maqal, ina Axiituubow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa i kan.

¹²and Saul saith, `Hear, I pray thee, son of Ahitub;` and he saith, `Here [am] I, my lord.`

¹³Kolkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu heshiiseen, adiga iyo ina Yesay, oo maxaad u siisay kibista iyo seefta, oo Ilaahna wax ugu weyddiisay si uu iigu kaco inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

¹³And Saul saith unto him, `Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, by thy giving to him bread and a sword, and to ask for him at God, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?`

¹⁴Markaasaa Axiimeleg wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Bal yaa addoommadaada ka mid ah oo sida Daa'uud aamin u ah, kaasoo boqorku soddog u yahay, oo weliba shirkaaga ka qayb gala, oo reerkaagana sharaf ku leh?

¹⁴And Ahimelech answereth the king and saith, `And who among all thy servants [is] as David — faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and hath turned aside unto thy council, and is honoured in thy house?

¹⁵Anigu ma maantaan bilaabay inaan isaga Ilaah wax u weyddiiyo? Taasu ha iga fogaato. Anigu waxan oo dhan waxba kama ogi wax yar iyo wax badan toona, haddaba, boqorow, anigoo addoonkaaga ah iyo reerka aabbahay oo dhanba waxba ha na saarin.

¹⁵To-day have I begun to ask for him at God? far be it from me! let not the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for thy servant hath known nothing of all this, less or more.`

¹⁶Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Axiimelegow, hubaal waad dhimanaysaa adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhammuba.

¹⁶And the king saith, `Thou dost surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all the house of thy father.`

¹⁷Dabadeedna boqorkii wuxuu waardiyayaashii hareerihiisa taagnaa ku yidhi, Ku jeesta oo wadaaddada Rabbiga laaya, maxaa yeelay, gacantoodu Daa'uud bay la jirtaa, oo iyagoo og inuu baxsaday ayayan ii soo sheegin, laakiinse boqorka addoommadiisii way diideen inay gacantooda ku fidiyaan oo laayaan wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

¹⁷And the king saith to runners, those standing by him, `Turn round, and put to death the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also [is] with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered mine ear;` and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of Jehovah.

¹⁸Markaasaa boqorkii Do'eeg ku yidhi, Adigu ku jeeso oo wadaaddada laa. Do'eeggii reer Edomna wuu ku jeestay oo wadaaddadii laayay, oo maalintaas wuxuu laayay shan iyo siddeetan qof oo wada qaba eefod dhar wanaagsan laga sameeyey.

¹⁸And the king saith to Doeg, `Turn round thou, and come against the priests;` and Doeg the Edomite turneth round, and cometh himself against the priests, and putteth to death in that day eighty and five men bearing a linen ephod,

¹⁹Oo magaaladii wadaaddada oo Nob ahaydna wixii joogay ayuu seef ku laayay. Rag iyo dumarba, iyo carruur iyo caanonuugba, iyo dibi iyo dameerro iyo idoba wuxuu ku wada laayay seef.

¹⁹and Nob, the city of the priests, he hath smitten by the mouth of the sword, from man even unto woman, from infant even unto suckling, and ox, and ass, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.

²⁰Oo waxaa ka baxsaday oo Daa'uud ka daba cararay mid ka mid ah wiilashii Axiimeleg ina Axiituub, magiciisana la odhan jiray Aabyaataar.

²⁰And there escapeth one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he fleeth after David,

²¹Markaasaa Aabyaataar wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay in Saa'uul laayay wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

²¹and Abiathar declareth to David that Saul hath slain the priests of Jehovah.

²²Kolkaasaa Daa'uud Aabyaataar ku yidhi, Maalintii Do'eeggii reer Edom halkaas joogay, waan garanayay inuu Saa'uul u sheegi doono. Dadkii reerka aabbahaa oo dhan anigaa dhimashada u soo jiiday.Haddaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.

²²And David saith to Abiathar, `I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he doth certainly declare [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] round to every person of the house of thy father;

²³Haddaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.

²³dwell with me; fear not; for he who seeketh my life seeketh thy life; for a charge [art] thou with me.`
