1 Samuel 20
1 But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life?
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?”
2 And he said to him: God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be.
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.”
3 And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.
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.”
4 And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣe, èmi yóò ṣe é fún ọ.”
5 And David said to Jonathan: Behold tomorrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.
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.
6 If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
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.’
7 If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.
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.
8 Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.
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?”
9 And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.
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?”
10 And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
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?”
11 And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
Jonatani wí fún Dafidi pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a jáde lọ sórí pápá.” Nígbà náà wọ́n sì jáde lọ.
12 Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father’s mind, tomorrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,
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?
13 May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
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.
14 And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
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.
15 Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.
Má ṣe ké àánú rẹ kúrò lórí ìdílé mi títí láé. Bí Olúwa tilẹ̀ ké gbogbo ọ̀tá Dafidi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.”
16 Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David’s enemies.
Nígbà náà ni Jonatani bá ilé Dafidi dá májẹ̀mú wí pé, “Olúwa yóò pe àwọn àti Dafidi láti ṣírò.”
17 And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
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.
18 And Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:
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.
19 For thy seat will be empty till after tomorrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.
Ní ọ̀túnla lọ́wọ́ alẹ́ lọ sí ibi tí o sá pamọ́ sí nígbà tí ìṣòro yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀, kí o sì dúró níbi òkúta Eselu.
20 And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.
Èmi yóò ta ọfà mẹ́ta sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé mo ta á sí àmì ibìkan.
21 And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
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.
22 If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
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.
23 And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
Nípa ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi àti ìwọ jọ sọ, rántí Olúwa jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí láàrín ìwọ àti èmi títí láéláé.”
24 So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sá pamọ́ sínú pápá. Nígbà tí àsè ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ oṣù tuntun sì dé, ọba sì jókòó láti jẹun.
25 And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place appeared empty.
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.
26 And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
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.”
27 And when the second day after the new moon was come, David’s place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor today?
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?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,
Jonatani sì dáhùn pé, “Dafidi bẹ̀ mí tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ fún ààyè láti lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
29 And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king’s table.
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.”
30 Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?
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?
31 For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
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!”
32 And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?
Jonatani béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi pa á? Kí ni ó ṣe?”
33 And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
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.
34 So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
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.
35 And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
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.
36 And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
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.
37 The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
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?”
38 And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
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.
39 And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
(Ọmọdékùnrin náà kò sì mọ̀ nǹkan; ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani àti Dafidi ni ó mọ ọ̀ràn náà.)
40 Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
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.”
41 And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.
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.
42 And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
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.
