1 Samuel 23
1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Daawit yommuu, “Kunoo, Filisxeemonni Qeyiilaatti waraana bananii oobdii saamaa jiru” jedhanii itti himanitti,
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
“Ani dhaqee Filisxeemota kanneen waraanuu?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Dhaqii Filisxeemota waraaniitii Qeyiilaa baraar” jedhee deebiseef.
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Namoonni Daawit garuu, “Nu as Yihuudaa keessatti iyyuu sodaachaa jirra. Yoo loltoota Filisxeemotaa waraanuuf Qeyiilaa dhaqne immoo hammam haa sodaannu!” jedhaniin.
4 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Daawit ammas deebiʼee Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyos, “Qeyiilaatti gad buʼi; ani Filisxeemota dabarsee harka keetti nan kennaatii” jedhee deebiseef.
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Qeyiilaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota waraananii horii isaanii boojiʼan. Daawitis miidhaa guddaa Filisxeemotatti fidee akkasiin saba Qeyiilaa baraare.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Abiyaataar ilmi Ahiimelek sunis yeroo gara Qeyiilaa gara Daawititti baqatetti dirata fudhatee dhufe.
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
Akka Daawit Qeyiilaa dhaqe Saaʼolitti himan; innis, “Waan Daawit magaalaa karraa fi danqaraa qabdu keessa seenuudhaan ofitti cufeef Waaqni isa dabarsee natti kenneera” jedhe.
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
Saaʼolis akka isaan Qeyiilaatti gad buʼanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa marsaniif jedhee loltoota isaa hunda duulaaf walitti waammate.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
Daawitis yeroo akka Saaʼol hammina isatti yaade beeketti Abiyaataar lubichaan, “Dirata sana as fidi” jedhe.
10 Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
Ergasiis Daawit akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel akka Saaʼol gara Qeyiilaa dhufee sababii kootiif jedhee magaalattii barbadeessuuf karoorfate garbichi kee dhugumaan dhagaʼeera.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD said, “He will come down.”
Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa isatti dabarsanii na kennuu? Akkuma garbichi kee dhagaʼe sana Saaʼol ni dhufaa? Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel mee garbicha keetti himi.” Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee inni ni dhufa” jedhe.
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”
Daawit ammas, “Jiraattonni Qeyiilaa anaa fi namoota koo dabarsanii Saaʼolitti ni kennuu?” jedhee gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee isin kennu” jedhe.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa kanneen gara dhibba jaʼa taʼan Qeyiilaadhaa kaʼanii gara dhaquu dandaʼan hunda dhaqan. Saaʼolis yommuu akka Daawit Qeyiilaa keessaa baqate dhagaʼetti achi hin dhaqne.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
Daawitis daʼannoowwan gammoojjii keessaatii fi gaarran Gammoojjii Ziif keessa ture. Saaʼolis guyyuma guyyaan isa barbaadaa ture; Waaqni garuu dabarsee harka isaatti Daawitin hin kennine.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
Daawit utuu Gammoojjii Ziif keessa iddoo Hooreshaa jedhamu tokko jiruu akka Saaʼol isa ajjeesuuf dhufe beeke.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼolis Daawit bira Hooreshaa dhaqe; maqaa Waaqaatiinis isa jajjabeesse.
17 He said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father will not find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
Innis, “Hin sodaatin; abbaan koo Saaʼol harkumaanuu si hin tuqu. Ati mootii Israaʼel taata; ani immoo itti aanaa kee nan taʼa. Abbaan koo Saaʼol iyyuu waan kana ni beeka” jedheen.
18 They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
Isaan lamaanuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu walii galan. Ergasii Yoonaataan mana ofii isaatti gale; Daawit immoo Hooreshaatti hafe.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Does not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa gara Saaʼol dhaqanii akkana jedhan; “Daawit kibba Yasemooniin gaara Hakiilaa irra daʼannoowwan Hooreshaa keessa dhokatee gidduu keenya jira mitii?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
Yaa mootii, ati gaafa dhufuu feete kottu; nu isa dabarsinee sitti ni kennina.”
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.
Saaʼolis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Waan isin naa yaaddaniif Waaqayyo isin haa eebbisu.
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
Dhaqaatii ittuma fufaa qophaaʼaa. Iddoo Daawit yeroo baayʼee dhaquu fi nama achitti isa argu illee hubadhaa. Akka inni nama daba hojjetu taʼe natti himaniiru.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
Iddoo inni itti dhokatu hundumaa barbaadaatii oduu mirkanaaʼaa fidaa kottaa. Ergasii ani isin wajjin nan deema; yoo inni naannoo sana jiraate ani kumaatama Yihuudaa hunda keessaa barbaadee isa nan arga.”
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
Kanaafuu isaan kaʼanii Saaʼol dursanii Ziif dhaqan. Daawitii fi namoonni isaa gama kibba Yasemooniin Gammoojjii Maaʼoon kan Arabbaatti argamtu keessa turan.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa Daawitin barbaaduu jalqaban; Daawitis yommuu waan kana itti himanitti gara kattaatti gad buʼee Gammoojjii Maaʼoon keessa ture. Saaʼolis yeroo waan kana dhagaʼetti Daawitin ariʼuuf Gammoojjii Maaʼoon seene.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
Saaʼol gaara gubbaa karaa tokkoon deemaa ture; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo Saaʼol duraa baqachuuf jedhanii ariifachaa tulluu sana irra karaa kaaniin deeman. Yeroo Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa itti dhiʼaatanii Daawitii fi namoota isaa qabachuu gaʼanitti,
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
ergamaan tokko gara Saaʼol dhufee, “Dafiitii kottu! Filisxeemonni biyyattii weeraranii jiruutii” jedhe.
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
Saaʼolis Daawitin ariʼuu dhiisee Filisxeemotatti gara gale. Kanaafuu iddoon sun, “Kattaa gargar baʼumsaa” jedhame.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
Daawitis achii deemee daʼannoowwan Een Gaadii keessa jiraate.
