1It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1 Waato kaŋ a salaŋ Sawulu se ka ban, kala Yonata da Dawda biney ye care gaa. Yonata ba r'a mo sanda nga fundo cine.
2Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
2 Sawulu mo n'a sambu han din hane. A mana naŋ Dawda ma ye nga baabo kwaara koyne.
3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
3 Saaya din Yonata nda Dawda na sappa te, zama Yonata ga ba r'a sanda nga fundo cine.
4Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.
4 Yonata mo na kwaayo kaŋ go nga jinda gaa din foobu ka no Dawda se, da nga bankaarayey hala nda baa nga takuba nda nga birawo da nga guddama.
5David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
5 Dawda ga koy mo nangu kulu kaŋ Sawulu g'a donton. A muraadey mo laakal wane yaŋ no. Sawulu n'a daŋ wongu boro fo yaŋ boŋ. Haya boori mo jama kulu diyaŋ gaa, hala nda Sawulu goy-teerey mo do.
6It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
6 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ i goono ga kaa, kaŋ Dawda ye ka fun Filistancey halaciyaŋo do, kala wayborey fatta Israyla kwaarey kulu ra. I goono ga doon ka gaan, ngey ma bonkoono Sawulu kubay se da can-caŋ da farhã da moolo hamni-hinza-koy yaŋ.
7The women sang one to another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands.”
7 Can-caŋ karyaŋo ra mo, wayborey soobay ka doon care se ka ne: «Sawulu na nga wane zambarey wi, Dawda mo nga zambar-zambarey.»
8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
8 Sawulu binde futu gumo. Sanno din n'a bina sara. A ne: «I na Dawda no zambar zambaryaŋ, amma ay wo zambaryaŋ hinne no i n'ay no. Ifo ka cindi a se koyne sohõ kala koytaray?»
9Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
9 Han din hane ka koy jina binde, Sawulu na Dawda gullu.
10It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
10 A suba kala biya laalo fo fun Irikoy do ka zumbu Sawulu boŋ da gaabi gumo, hal a follo nga windo bindi ra. Amma Dawda soobay ka moolo kar da nga kambe mate kaŋ a doona ka te. Sawulu mo go nda nga yaajo ga gaay nga kambe ra.
11and Saul threw the spear; for he said, “I will pin David even to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
11 Kala Sawulu na Dawda hay ka hatta nda yaajo, zama a ne: «Ay ga Dawda hay no k'a korab k'a ta cinaro gaa.» Dawda mo mulay a jine sorro hinka.
12Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and was departed from Saul.
12 Sawulu go ga humburu Dawda zama Rabbi go a banda, a fay da Sawulu mo.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
13 Woodin sabbay se no Sawulu n'a kaa nga do k'a daŋ a ma ciya sooje zambar jine boro. A goono ga koy-da-ye te jama jine.
14David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
14 Dawda mo na laakal cabe nga muraadey kulu ra. Rabbi mo go a banda.
15When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
15 Waato kaŋ Sawulu faham kaŋ Dawda goono ga laakal cabe gumo, kal a humbur'a.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
16 Amma Israyla nda Yahuda kulu ga ba Dawda gumo, zama a goono ga koy-da-ye te i jine.
17Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
17 Kala Sawulu ne Dawda se: «Guna, ay ize way beero neeya, Merab. Ay ga ni no nd'a a ma ciya ni wande. Kala ni ma ciya ize yaarukom ay se, ma Rabbi tangamey te.» Zama Sawulu goono ga ne: «Ay wo bumbo, ay s'ay kambe dake a gaa, kala day Filistancey kambe ma te d'a.»
18David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
18 Dawda ne Sawulu se: «May ci ay? Ifo no ka bara ay se mo, ifo no ay baaba windo mo Israyla ra, hala ay ma ciya bonkoono anzuray?»
19But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
19 Amma a ciya, saaya kaŋ cine i ga hima ka Merab, Sawulu ize no Dawda se, kal a go, i n'a hiijandi Adriyel, Meholati bora se.
20Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
20 Amma Sawulu ize wayo kaŋ se i ga ne Mikal ga ba Dawda. I ci Sawulu se, haya kaan a se mo.
21Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, “You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time.”
21 Sawulu mo ne: «Ay g'a no nd'a, a ma ciya a se hirrimi, Filistancey kambe mo ga gaaba nd'a.» Woodin se no Sawulu ne Dawda se: «Hunkuna sorro hinkante neeya kaŋ ni ga ciya ay anzuray.»
22Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
22 Sawulu na nga goy-teerey lordi mo ka ne: «Wa salaŋ nda Dawda tuguyaŋ ra, ka ne: ‹Guna, bonkoono ga farhã nda nin, a goy-teerey kulu mo ga ba nin. A binde sohõ ni ma ciya bonkoono anzuray.› »
23Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seems to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
23 Sanney din binde bonkoono tamey n'i ci Dawda hangey ra. Amma Dawda ne: «Araŋ wo do haray, hari doogono no boro ma ciya bonkoono anzuray? A go, ay ya talka no, kaŋ sinda beeray mo.»
24The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
24 Kala Sawulu goy-teerey ne a se: «Sanney wo no Dawda ci.»
25Saul said, “You shall tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
25 Sawulu mo ne: «Ya-cine no araŋ ga ci Dawda se: ‹Bonkoono si ba hiijay nooru, kala day Filistance zangu fo jofolo kuurey, zama i ma fansa sambu bonkoono ibarey boŋ.› » Amma Sawulu miila no a ma naŋ Dawda ma kaŋ Filistancey kambe ra.
26When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. The days were not expired;
26 Waato kaŋ goy-teerey na sanni woodin yaŋ ci Dawda se, a kaan Dawda se gumo nga ma ciya bonkoono anzuray. Jirbey binde mana to,
27and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
27 kala Dawda tun, nga nda nga borey, ka koy ka boro zangu hinka wi Filistancey ra. Dawda kande i jofolo kuurey mo, k'i toonanta kulu no bonkoono se, zama Dawda ma ciya bonkoono anzuray. Sawulu mo na nga ize wayo Mikal no Dawda se zama a ma ciya Dawda wande.
28Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
28 Sawulu faham mo kaŋ Rabbi go Dawda banda. Mikal, Sawulu ize wayo mo ga ba r'a.
29Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
29 Sawulu binde go day ga humburu Dawda ka tonton. Sawulu go ga ibaretaray gaay nga nda Dawda game ra waati kulu.
30Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
30 Saaya din binde Filistancey jine borey fatta. A ciya mo waati kaŋ i ga fatta kulu, kala Dawda ma soobay ka laakal cabe ka bisa Sawulu goy-teerey kulu, kal a maa ciya darza hari gumo.
