1David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
1 Dawda tun noodin. A yana ka koy Adullam guuso ra. Waato kaŋ a nya-izey d'a baabo windo kulu maa baaru, i koy a do.
1David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
2Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
2 Borey kulu mo kaŋ yaŋ di kayna, da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ na garaw sambu, da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ biney sara, i margu a do. A binde ciya i jine boro. A gonda boro zangu taaci cine nga banda.
2And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
3 Dawda binde tun noodin ka koy Mizpa, Mowab wano, ka ne Mowab bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray no, ma naŋ ay baabo d'ay nyaŋo ma fatta ka goro araŋ banda hala ay ma bay haŋ kaŋ no Irikoy ga te ay se jina.»
3And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me.
4He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
4 A kand'ey Mowab bonkoono jine. Ngey mo goro noodin a banda duumi saaya kaŋ cine Dawda go da goray tondi boŋ wongu fuwo ra.
4And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
5 Annabi Gad mo ne Dawda se: «Ma si goro wongu fuwo ra. Kala ni ma tun ka koy Yahudiya laabu.» Dawda binde tun ka kaa Haret saaji beero ra.
5And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
6 Sawulu maa Dawda baaru kaŋ a fatta laabo ra, nga nda alborey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda. Jirbey din binde Sawulu goono ga goro Jibeya tondo boŋ, boosay nya cire Rama ra, a yaajo mo go a kamba ra. A goy-teerey kulu mo go a do ga kay.
6And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
7 Sawulu binde ne nga goy-teerey se kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kay noodin a do: «Wa maa sohõ, araŋ Benyamin borey. Yasse izo wo g'araŋ no fariyaŋ da reyzin* kaliyaŋ no? Wala a g'araŋ kulu ciya jine boroyaŋ zambar-zambar wane, da zangu-zangu wane?
7And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
8 hala araŋ kulu, araŋ ga me haw ay boŋ. Boro kulu si no kaŋ ci ay se waato kaŋ ay izo na amaana sarti te da Yasse izo. Boro kulu si no kaŋ maa ay bakaraw. Boro kulu si no mo kaŋ ci ay se ka ne ay izo n'ay tamo daŋ a ma gaaba nda ay, hal a ma gumandi te ay se sanda hunkuna?»
8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that discloseth to me when my son maketh a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
9Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
9 Kala Doweg, Edom bora kaŋ goono ga kay Sawulu goy-teerey jarga tu ka ne: «Ay di Yasse izo. A koy Nob, Ahimelek, Ahitub izo do.
9Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
10 Nga mo na adduwa te a se Rabbi gaa, a n'a no hindoonay mo. A n'a no mo Filistanca Goliyat takuba.»
10And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
11 Waato din gaa no bonkoono donton ka Alfa Ahimelek, Ahitub izo da nga baabo windo kulu ce. Ngey no ga ti alfagey kaŋ go Nob ra. I kulu binde kaa bonkoono do.
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
12 Sawulu mo ne: «Ni ma maa, nin Ahitub ize.» A tu ka ne: «Ay neeya, ya ay koyo.»
12And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
13Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
13 Sawulu ne a se: «Ifo se no araŋ na me haw ay boŋ, nin da Yasse izo, za kaŋ ni n'a no buuru nda takuba, ni na adduwa te a se mo Irikoy gaa, zama a ma murte ay gaa, a ma gumandi te mo ay se danga hunkuna?»
13And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council, and is honorable in your house?
14 Kala Ahimelek tu bonkoono se ka ne: «May no ni goy-teerey kulu ra ga ti naanaykoy sanda Dawda cine, kaŋ go bonkoono anzuray, hala ni n'a ta ni faada ra, a gonda beeray mo ni windo ra?
14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy house?
15Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”
15 Hunkuna no ay sintin ka adduwa te a se Irikoy gaa? Irikoy ma boriyandi! Bonkoono ma si taali dake ay, ni tamo boŋ, wala baa ay baabo windo boŋ, zama ay, ni tamo mana hay kulu bay sanno wo ra, hala iboobo wala ikayna no.»
15Have I to-day begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute anything unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.
16The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”
16 Bonkoono mo ne: «Ya nin Ahimelek, daahir ni ga bu day no, nin da ni baaba windo kulu.»
16And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
17The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
17 Bonkoono ne batukoy kaŋ goono ga kay nga do yaŋ se: «Wa bare ka Rabbi alfagey wi, zama ngey mo kambe go Dawda banda. I bay a zuru, amma i man'a bangandi ay se.» Amma bonkoono goy-teerey wangu ngey ma ngey kambe salle ka kaŋ Rabbi alfagey boŋ.
17And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.
18The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
18 Kala bonkoono ne Doweg se: «Nin wo, ma bare ka kaŋ alfagey boŋ.» Kala Edomanca Doweg bare ka kaŋ alfagey boŋ. Han din mo a na boro wahakku cindi gu wi kaŋ yaŋ go ga daabu nda lin efod* kwaay.
18And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
19 A na alfagey kwaara Nob mo kar da takuba, alboro nda wayboro, zanka nda naanandi, da haw da farkay da feeji. I n'i kulu wi da takuba.
19And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
20 Amma Ahimelek, Ahitub izey ra, boro fo kaŋ se i ga ne Abiyatar, nga wo yana. A zuru ka koy Dawda do.
20And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
21 A binde ci Dawda se ka ne: «Sawulu na Rabbi alfagey kulu wi.»
21And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
22David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
22 Dawda ne Abiyatar se: «Han din kaŋ Edomanca Doweg go noodin, ay bay kaŋ a ga ci Sawulu se. Ay mo, ay ciya ni baaba windo borey kulu buuyaŋ sabaabu no.
22And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father's house.
23Stay with me, don’t be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard.”
23 Ma goro ay banda. Ma si humburu, zama bora kaŋ na ni fundo ceeci goono g'ay wano mo ceeci. Zama ay do no ni ga goro ka hallasi.»
23Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
