< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 Lẹ́yìn ikú Saulu, Dafidi ti ibi tí ó ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Amaleki bọ̀, ó sì dúró ní Siklagi ní ọjọ́ méjì.
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta, ọkùnrin kan dé láti ibi ibùdó Saulu, pẹ̀lú aṣọ rẹ̀ tí ó ti ya; àti erùpẹ̀ ní orí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi, ó wólẹ̀ fún un láti bu ọlá fún un.
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did reverence.
3 Dafidi sì béèrè pé, “Ibo ni ìwọ ti wá?” “Èmi sá láti ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
And David said unto him, From whence come you? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 Dafidi béèrè pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” “Sọ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sá láti ojú ogun. Ọ̀pọ̀ wọn ṣubú, wọ́n sì kú. Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin Jonatani sì kú pẹ̀lú.”
And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray you, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 Nígbà náà, ní Dafidi sọ fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Báwo ni o ṣe mọ̀ pé Saulu àti ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ Jonatani ti kú.”
And David said unto the young man that told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6 Ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sọ pé, “Mo wà ní orí òkè Gilboa níbẹ̀ ni Saulu fi ara tí ọkọ̀ rẹ̀, àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin sì ń lépa rẹ̀.
And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 Nígbà tí ó wò yíká, tí ó rí mí, ó pè mi, mo sì wí pé, ‘Kí ni mo lè ṣe?’
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 “Ó bi mí wí pé, ‘Ta ni ìwọ?’ “Mo dáhùn pé, ‘Ará a Amaleki.’
And he said unto me, Who are you? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 “Nígbà náà ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Dúró lórí ì mi kí o sì pa mí! Èmi wà nínú ìrora ikú, ṣùgbọ́n mo wà láààyè.’
He said unto me again, Stand, I pray you, upon me, and slay me: for anguish has come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 “Nígbà náà, mo dúró lórí i rẹ̀, mo sì pa á nítorí mo mọ̀ wí pé, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣubú, kò le è yè mọ́. Mo sì mú adé tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀, idẹ tí ó wà ní apá a rẹ̀, mo sì kó wọn wá síbí fún olúwa mi.”
So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here unto my lord.
11 Nígbà náà ni, Dafidi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, di aṣọ wọn mú, wọ́n sì fà á ya.
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12 Wọ́n ṣọ̀fọ̀, wọ́n sì sọkún, wọ́n sì gbààwẹ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́ fún Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani àti fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun Olúwa, àti fún àwọn ilé Israẹli, nítorí wọ́n ti ṣubú nípa idà.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13 Dafidi sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún un pé, “Níbo ni ó ti wá?” O dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ àlejò ni mo jẹ́, ará Amaleki.”
And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence are you? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 Dafidi béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ kò fi bẹ̀rù láti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè láti fi pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa?”
And David said unto him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
15 Nígbà náà Dafidi pe ọ̀kan nínú ọkùnrin, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ, gbé e lulẹ̀!” Nígbà náà ó gbé e lulẹ̀, ó sì kú.
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he stroke him that he died.
16 Nítorí Dafidi wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ, nítorí ẹnu ara rẹ ni o fi sọ pé, ‘Mo pa ẹni àmì òróró Olúwa.’”
And David said unto him, Your blood be upon your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
17 Dafidi sì fi orin ọ̀fọ̀ yìí ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí Saulu àti lórí Jonatani ọmọ rẹ̀,
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 Ó sì pàṣẹ pé kí a kọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin Juda ní orin arò yìí tí ó jẹ́ ti ọrun (a kọ ọ́ sí inú ìwé Jaṣari):
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19 “Ògo rẹ, Israẹli ni a pa ní òkè gíga rẹ. Wò bí àwọn alágbára ṣe ń ṣubú!
The beauty of Israel is slain upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 “Ẹ má ṣe sọ ọ́ ní Gati, ẹ má ṣe kéde rẹ̀ ní òpópónà Aṣkeloni, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Filistini má bá à yọ̀, kí àwọn ọmọbìnrin aláìkọlà má ba à dunnú.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “Ẹ̀yin òkè Gilboa, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe rí ìrì tàbí òjò, tàbí oko tí ó mú èso ọrẹ wá. Nítorí ibẹ̀ ni asà alágbára ti ṣègbé, asà Saulu, bí ẹni pé a kò fi òróró yàn án.
All of you mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 “Ọrun Jonatani kì í padà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni idà Saulu kì í padà lásán, láì kan ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn tí a pa, àti ẹran àwọn alágbára.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Saulu àti Jonatani— ní ọjọ́ ayé, wọ́n fẹ́ràn ara, wọn sì dùn, ní ikú, wọn kò sì yà ara wọ́n. Wọ́n yára ju idì lọ, wọ́n lágbára ju kìnnìún lọ.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 “Ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin Israẹli, ẹ sọkún lórí Saulu, ẹni tí ó fi aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára wọ̀ yín, ẹni tí ó fi wúrà sí ara aṣọ yín.
All of you daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 “Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú ní ojú ogun! Jonatani, ìwọ tí a pa ní òkè gíga.
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.
26 Ọkàn mi gbọgbẹ́ fún ọ Jonatani arákùnrin mi; ìwọ ṣọ̀wọ́n fún mi. Ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi jẹ́ ìyanu, ó jẹ́ ìyanu ju ti obìnrin lọ.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been unto me: your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 “Wò ó bí alágbára ti ṣubú! Ohun ìjà sì ti ṣègbé!”
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
