بۆ جاری دووەم داود، شاول دەبەخشێت

26 زیفییەکان هاتنە گیڤعا بۆ لای شاول و گوتیان: «ئایا داود لە گردی حەکیلای بەرامبەر یەشیمۆن خۆی نەشاردووەتەوە؟»

شاولیش هەستا و دابەزی بۆ چۆڵەوانی زیف و سێ هەزار پیاوی هەڵبژاردەی ئیسرائیلیشی لەگەڵدا بوو، بۆ ئەوەی لە چۆڵەوانی زیف بەدوای داود بگەڕێت. ئینجا شاول لە گردی حەکیلا کە بەرامبەر یەشیمۆنە لەسەر ڕێگاکە چادری هەڵدا، داودیش لە چۆڵەوانییەکەدا مایەوە. کاتێک بینی وا شاول بەدوایدا هاتووە بۆ چۆڵەوانی، داود چەند سووسەکەرێکی[a] نارد و بە دڵنیاییەوە زانی کە شاول هاتووە.

ئینجا داود هەستا و چوو بۆ ئەو شوێنەی شاول چادری لێ هەڵداوە، داود سەیری ئەو شوێنەی کرد کە شاول و ئەبنێری کوڕی نێری فەرماندەی گشتی سوپاکەی تێیدا پاڵکەوتبوون. شاول لەناو ئۆردوگاکە پاڵکەوتبوو، سوپاکەش لە چواردەوریدا دامەزرابوون.

ئینجا داود لە ئەحیمەلەخی حیتی و لە ئەبیشەیی کوڕی چەرویای برای یۆئابی پرسی: «کێ لەگەڵمدا دێتە خوارەوە، بۆ لای شاول بۆ ناو ئۆردوگاکە؟»

ئەبیشەیش گوتی: «من لەگەڵتدا دێمە خوارەوە.»

ئیتر داود و ئەبیشەی بە شەو هاتن بۆ لای سوپاکە و بینییان شاول لەناو ئۆردوگاکە پاڵکەوتووە و نوستووە، ڕمەکەشی لەلای سەرییەوە لە زەوی چەقیبوو، ئەبنێر و سوپاکەش لە چواردەوریدا پاڵکەوتبوون. ئەبیشەی بە داودی گوت: «ئەمڕۆ خودا دوژمنەکەتی داوە بەدەستەوە، ئێستاش لێمگەڕێ با بە یەک ڕم لێدان بە زەویدا بیچەقێنم و لێی دووبارە ناکەمەوە.»

بەڵام داود بە ئەبیشەی گوت: «لەناوی مەبە، چونکە کێ دەستی بۆ دەستنیشانکراوی یەزدان درێژکردووە و بێتاوان بووە؟»

10 هەروەها داود گوتی: «بە یەزدانی زیندوو، یان یەزدان خۆی لێی دەدات یان ڕۆژی دێت و دەمرێت، یانیش دەچێت بۆ جەنگ و تێیدا لەناودەچێت. 11 لەلایەن یەزدانەوە لە من بەدوور بێت کە دەست بۆ دەستنیشانکراوی یەزدان درێژ بکەم. ئێستاش ڕمەکە و گۆزە ئاوەکەی لای سەری بهێنە و با بڕۆین.»

12 ئیتر داود ڕمەکە و گۆزە ئاوەکەی لای سەری شاولی برد و ڕۆیشتن، کەس نەیبینی و نەیزانی و بەخەبەر نەهات. هەموویان نوستبوون، چونکە یەزدان ئەوانی خستبووە خەوێکی قووڵەوە.

13 پاشان داود بۆ بەری ئەوبەر پەڕییەوە و لە دوورەوە لەسەر لووتکەی کێوێک وەستا، ماوەی نێوانیان زۆر بوو. 14 ئینجا داود بانگی سوپاکە و ئەبنێری کوڕی نێری کرد و گوتی: «ئەبنێر وەڵام نادەیتەوە؟»

ئەبنێریش گوتی: «تۆ کێیت بانگی پاشا دەکەیت؟»

15 داود بە ئەبنێری گوت: «ئایا تۆ پیاو نیت، کێ لە ئیسرائیلدا وەک تۆ وایە؟ ئەی بۆچی پاشای گەورەی خۆتت نەپاراست، چونکە یەکێک لە گەل هات بۆ ئەوەی پاشای گەورەت لەناو ببات. 16 ئەوەی تۆ کردت باش نەبوو. بە یەزدانی زیندوو، ئێوە شایانی سزای مردنن، چونکە پارێزگاریتان لە گەورەکەتان نەکرد، لە دەستنیشانکراوی یەزدان. ئێستاش سەیر بکە، کوا ڕمەکەی پاشا و ئەو گۆزە ئاوەی کە لەلای سەرییەوە بوو؟»

17 لێرەدا شاول دەنگی داودی ناسییەوە و گوتی: «داود، کوڕم، ئەوە دەنگی تۆیە؟»

داودیش گوتی: «گەورەم، پاشا، دەنگی منە.» 18 ئینجا گوتی: «ئایا بۆچی گەورەم خزمەتکارەکەی ڕاو دەنێت، من چیم کردووە و چ خراپەیەکم هەیە؟ 19 ئێستاش با پاشای گەورەم گوێ لە قسەی خزمەتکارەکەی بگرێت: ئەگەر یەزدان لە دژی من هانی داویت، با پێشکەشکراوم لێ وەربگرێت؛ بەڵام ئەگەر ئادەمیزادیش هانی داویت، با لەبەردەم یەزدان نەفرەت لێکراو بن. ئەمڕۆ منیان لە هاتنە ناو ڕیزی بەشە میراتی یەزدان دەرکردووە، پێم دەڵێن: ”بڕۆ خودای دیکە بپەرستە.“ 20 با خوێنم دوور لە ئامادەبوونی یەزدان نەکەوێتە سەر زەوی، چونکە پاشای ئیسرائیل بەدوای کێچێکدا هاتووەتە دەرەوە، وەک یەکێک لە چیاکاندا کەوێک ڕاو بکات.»

21 شاولیش پێی گوت: «من گوناهم کرد، داود کوڕم، بگەڕێوە، ئیتر خراپەت لەگەڵ ناکەم، پاش ئەوەی ئەمڕۆ ژیانی من لەبەرچاوی تۆ بەهادار بوو، من گێلایەتیم کرد و زۆر گومڕا بووم.»

22 داودیش وەڵامی دایەوە و گوتی: «ئەوە ڕمەکەی پاشایە، با یەکێک لە خزمەتکارەکان بپەڕێتەوە و بیبات. 23 یەزدانیش پاداشتی هەر پیاوێک بەپێی ڕاستودروستی و دەستپاکییەکەی دەداتەوە، چونکە ئەمڕۆ یەزدان تۆی بەدەستمەوە دا، بەڵام نەمویست دەست بۆ دەستنیشانکراوی یەزدان درێژ بکەم. 24 وەک چۆن ئەمڕۆ ژیانت لەبەرچاوی من بەهادار بوو، با ژیانی منیش لەبەرچاوی یەزدان بەهادار بێت و لە هەموو تەنگانەیەک فریام بکەوێت.»

25 ئینجا شاول بە داودی گوت: «داود کوڕم، تۆ بەرەکەتداریت، چونکە تۆ کاری گەورە دەکەیت و سەردەکەویت.»

دوای ئەوە داود ڕێگای خۆی گرتەبەر، شاولیش بۆ شوێنەکەی خۆی گەڕایەوە.

David Again Spares Saul’s Life

26 The Ziphites(A) went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding(B) on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?(C)

So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search(D) there for David. Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah(E) facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived.

Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner(F) son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.

David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite(G) and Abishai(H) son of Zeruiah,(I) Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?”

“I’ll go with you,” said Abishai.

So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.

Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.”

But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed(J) and be guiltless?(K) 10 As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike(L) him, or his time(M) will come and he will die,(N) or he will go into battle and perish. 11 But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.”

12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the Lord had put them into a deep sleep.(O)

13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. 14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?”

Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”

15 David said, “You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king. 16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the Lord lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the Lord’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?”

17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice,(P) David my son?”

David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.” 18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong(Q) am I guilty of? 19 Now let my lord the king listen(R) to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering.(S) If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance(T) and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’(U) 20 Now do not let my blood(V) fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea(W)—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.(X)

21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned.(Y) Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious(Z) today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”

22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it. 23 The Lord rewards(AA) everyone for their righteousness(AB) and faithfulness. The Lord delivered(AC) you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. 24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver(AD) me from all trouble.”

25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed,(AE) David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.”

So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.

26 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?

Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.

And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless?

10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

11 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.

13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:

14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the Lord liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.

20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

23 The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed.

24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
