1 Samuel 20
1 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sá kúrò ní Naioti ti Rama ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Jonatani ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni mo ṣe? Kí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi? Báwo ni mo ṣe ṣẹ baba rẹ, tí ó sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti gba ẹ̀mí mi?”
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?
2 Jonatani dáhùn pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ìwọ kò ní kú! Wò ó baba mi kì í ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó tóbi tàbí tí ó kéré, láìfi lọ̀ mí. Èéṣe tí yóò fi fi èyí pamọ́ fún mi? Kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀.”
And he said to him, Far from it. Thou shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me, and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi tún búra, ó sì wí pé, “Baba rẹ mọ̀ dáradára pé mo rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jonatani kò gbọdọ̀ mọ èyí yóò sì bà á nínú jẹ́.’ Síbẹ̀ nítòótọ́ bí Olúwa ti wà láààyè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wà láààyè, ìgbésẹ̀ kan ni ó wà láàrín ìyè àti ikú.”
And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father knows well that I have found favor in thine eyes, and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
4 Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣe, èmi yóò ṣe é fún ọ.”
Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever thy soul desires, I will even do it for thee.
5 Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Wò ó, ọ̀la ni oṣù tuntun, mo sì gbọdọ̀ bá ọba jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó lọ láti fi ara pamọ́ lórí pápá títí di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
6 Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé baba rẹ bá fẹ́ mi kù, kí o sì wí fún un pé, ‘Dafidi fi tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ béèrè ààyè láti sáré lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu ìlú rẹ̀ nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe ẹbọ ọdọọdún ní ibẹ̀ fún gbogbo ìdílé rẹ̀.’
If thy father misses me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city, for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 Tí o bá wí pé, ‘Àlàáfíà ni,’ nígbà náà, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wà láìléwu. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá bínú gidigidi, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ dájú pé ó pinnu láti ṣe ìpalára mi.
If he says thus, It is well. Thy servant shall have peace. But if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tìrẹ ìwọ, fi ojúrere wo ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; nítorí tí ìwọ ti bá a dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú rẹ níwájú Olúwa. Tí mo bá jẹ̀bi, pa mí fún ara rẹ! Èéṣe tí ìwọ yóò fi fi mí lé baba rẹ lọ́wọ́?”
Therefore deal kindly with thy servant, for thou have brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee. But if there be in me iniquity, kill me thyself, for why should thou bring me to thy father?
9 Jonatani wí pé, “Kí a má rí i! Ti mo bá ti gbọ́ tí baba mi ti pinnu láti pa ọ́ lára, ṣé èmi kò ní sọ fún ọ?”
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee, for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would I not tell it to thee?
10 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Ta ni yóò sọ fún mi tí baba rẹ̀ bá dá ọ lóhùn ní ohùn líle?”
Then David said to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answers thee roughly?
11 Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a jáde lọ sórí pápá.” Nígbà náà wọ́n sì jáde lọ.
And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
12 Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Mo fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli búra pé, èmi yóò rí i dájú pé mo gbọ́ ti ẹnu baba mi ní ìwòyí ọ̀la tàbí ní ọ̀túnla! Bí ó bá sì ní inú dídùn sí ọ, èmi yóò ránṣẹ́ sí ọ, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí o mọ̀?
And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, the God of Israel-when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send to thee, and disclose it to thee?
13 Ṣùgbọ́n tí baba mi bá fẹ́ pa ọ́ lára, kí Olúwa kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Jonatani; tí èmi kò bá jẹ́ kí o mọ̀, kí n sì jẹ́ kí o lọ ní àlàáfíà. Kí Olúwa kí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà pẹ̀lú baba mi.
Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I not disclose it to thee, and send thee away that thou may go in peace. And Jehovah be with thee as he has been with my father.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n fi àìkùnà inú rere hàn mí bí inú rere Olúwa, níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo bá wà láààyè kí wọ́n má ba à pa mí.
And thou shall not only show me the loving kindness of Jehovah, while I yet live, that I not die,
15 Má ṣe ké àánú rẹ kúrò lórí ìdílé mi títí láé. Bí Olúwa tilẹ̀ ké gbogbo ọ̀tá Dafidi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.”
but also thou shall not cut off thy kindness from my house forever. No, not when Jehovah has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
16 Nígbà náà ni Jonatani bá ilé Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú wí pé, “Olúwa yóò pe àwọn àti Dafidi láti ṣírò.”
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies.
17 Jonatani mú kí Dafidi tún ìbúra ṣe nítorí ìfẹ́ tí ó ní sí i, nítorí tí ó fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti fẹ́ràn ara rẹ̀.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him. For he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Nígbà náà ni Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Lọ́la ní ibi àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun, a yóò fẹ́ ọ kù, nítorí ààyè rẹ yóò ṣófo.
Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou will be missed because thy seat will be empty.
19 Ní ọ̀túnla lọ́wọ́ alẹ́ lọ sí ibi tí o sá pamọ́ sí nígbà tí ìṣòro yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀, kí o sì dúró níbi òkúta Eselu.
And when thou have stayed three days, thou shall go down quickly, and come to the place where thou hid thyself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Èmi yóò ta ọfà mẹ́ta sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé mo ta á sí àmì ibìkan.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
21 Èmi yóò rán ọmọdékùnrin kan èmi yóò wí fún un wí pé, ‘Lọ, kí o lọ wá ọfà náà.’ Tí mo bá sọ fún un wí pé, ‘Wò ó, ọfà wọ̀nyí wà ní ibi báyìí ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ; kó wọn wá síbí,’ kí o sì wá, nítorí pé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wà ní ààyè, o wà ní àlàáfíà; kò sí ewu.
And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them, and come, for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as Jehovah lives.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ fún ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, ‘Wò ó, àwọn ọfà náà ń bẹ níwájú rẹ,’ ǹjẹ́ máa bá tìrẹ lọ, nítorí Olúwa ni ó rán ọ lọ.
But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee, go thy way, for Jehovah has sent thee away.
23 Nípa ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi àti ìwọ jọ sọ, rántí Olúwa jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí láàrín ìwọ àti èmi títí láéláé.”
And concerning the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me forever.
24 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sá pamọ́ sínú pápá. Nígbà tí àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun sì dé, ọba sì jókòó láti jẹun.
So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
25 Ọba sì jókòó gẹ́gẹ́ bí ipò o rẹ̀ ní ibi tí ó máa ń jókòó lórí ìjókòó tí ó wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ògiri, ní òdìkejì Jonatani, Abneri sì jókòó ti Saulu, ṣùgbọ́n ààyè Dafidi sì ṣófo.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall, and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.
26 Saulu kò sọ nǹkan kan ní ọjọ́ náà, nítorí ó rò pé, “Nǹkan kan ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Dafidi láti jẹ́ kí ó di aláìmọ́ lóòtítọ́ ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́.”
Nevertheless Saul spoke nothing that day, for he thought, Something has befallen him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kejì, ní ọjọ́ kejì oṣù, ààyè Dafidi sì tún ṣófo. Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ọmọ Jese kò fi wá sí ibi oúnjẹ, lánàá àti lónìí?”
And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has the son of Jesse not come in to the food, neither yesterday, nor today?
28 Jonatani sì dáhùn pé, “Dafidi bẹ̀ mí tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ fún ààyè láti lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.
29 Ó wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí n lọ, nítorí pé ìdílé wa ń ṣe ìrúbọ ní ìlú, àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n ọ̀n mi sì ti pàṣẹ fún mi láti wà níbẹ̀; tí èmi bá rí ojúrere ní ojú rẹ, jẹ́ kí n lọ láti lọ rí àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n mi.’ Ìdí nìyìí tí kò fi wá sí orí tábìlì oúnjẹ ọba.”
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother, he has commanded me. And now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brothers. Therefore he has not come to the king's table.
30 Ìbínú Saulu sì ru sí Jonatani ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ̀tẹ̀ búburú yìí, ṣé èmi kò ti mọ̀ pé, ìwọ ti yan ọmọ Jese fún ìtìjú ti ara rẹ àti fún ìtìjú màmá rẹ tí ó bí ọ?
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do I not know that thou have chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ọmọ Jese bá wà láààyè lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, a kì yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ìwọ tàbí ti ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí ránṣẹ́ kí o sì lọ mú un wá fún mi, nítorí ó gbọdọ̀ kú!”
For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, thou shall not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
32 Jonatani béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi pa á? Kí ni ó ṣe?”
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? What has he done?
33 Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ju ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Jonatani láti gún un pa. Nígbà náà ni Jonatani mọ̀ pé baba rẹ̀ mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ fẹ́ pa Dafidi ni.
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him. By this Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
34 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jonatani sì fi ìbínú dìde kúrò ni ibi oúnjẹ, kò sì jẹun ni ọjọ́ kejì oṣù náà, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi fún Dafidi, nítorí pé baba rẹ̀ dójútì í.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David because his father had done him shame.
35 Ó sì ṣe, ní òwúrọ̀ ni Jonatani jáde lọ sí oko ní àkókò tí òun àti Dafidi ti fi àdéhùn sí, ọmọdékùnrin kan sì wá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 Ó si wí fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Sáré, kí o si wá àwọn ọfà tí èmi ó ta.” Bí ọmọdé náà sì ti ń sáré, òun sì tafà rékọjá rẹ̀.
And he said to his lad, Run, now find the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Nígbà tí ọmọdékùnrin náà sì dé ibi ọfà tí Jonatani ta, Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà ó sì wí pé, “Ọfà náà kò ha wà níwájú rẹ bi?”
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
38 Jonatani sì kọ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà pé, “Sáré! Yára! Má ṣe dúró!” Ọmọdékùnrin Jonatani sì ṣa àwọn ọfà náà, ó sì tọ olúwa rẹ̀ wá.
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 (Ọmọdékùnrin náà kò sì mọ̀ nǹkan; ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani àti Dafidi ni ó mọ ọ̀ràn náà.)
But the lad knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Jonatani sì fi apó àti ọrun rẹ̀ fún ọmọdékùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ, kí o sì mú wọn lọ sí ìlú.”
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 Bí ọmọdékùnrin náà ti lọ tán, Dafidi sì dìde láti ibi ìhà gúúsù òkúta náà, ó sì wólẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba ní ìdojúbolẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta fún Jonatani, wọ́n sì fi ẹnu ko ara wọn lẹ́nu, wọ́n sì jùmọ̀ sọkún, èkínní pẹ̀lú èkejì rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi sọkún púpọ̀ jù.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. And they kissed each other, and wept one with another until David surpassed him.
42 Jonatani sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà, bí o ti jẹ́ pé àwa méjèèjì tí jùmọ̀ búra ni orúkọ Olúwa pé, ‘Ki Olúwa ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, láàrín irú-ọmọ mi àti láàrín irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ láéláé.’” Òun sì dìde, ó sì lọ kúrò: Jonatani sì lọ sí ìlú.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, inasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, forever. And he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
