jab shaaul paalishtaiyon ka peechha karake lautta, tab usako yah samachar mila, ki daud aenagadee ke jangal men haai.
2 tab shaaul samast israaeliyon men se teen hajar ko chhanttkar daud aur usake janon ko banaaile bakaron kee chattanon par khojane gaya.
3 jab vah marga par ke bhedshaalon ke pas pahuncha jahan aek gufaa thee, tab shaaul disha firane ko usake bheetar gaya. aur usee gufaa ke konon men daud aur usake jan baaitte huae the.
4 tab daud ke janon ne us se kaha, sun, aj vahee din haai jisake vishay yahova ne tujh se kaha tha, ki maain tere shatra ko tere hath men saunp doonga, ki too us se manamana bartav kar le. tab daud ne uttkar shaaul ke bage kee chhor ko chhpaikar katt liya.
5 isake peechhe daud shaaul ke bage kee chhor kattne se pachhtaya.
6 aur apane janon se kahane laga, yahova n kare ki maain apane prabhu se jo yahova ka abhaishaikt haai aeesa kam karoo, ki us par hath chalau, kyonki vah yahova ka abhaishaikt haai.
7 aeesee baten kahakar daud ne apane janon ko ghaudkee lagai aur unhen shaaul kee haani karane ko uttne n diya. fir shaaul uttkar gufaa se nikala aur apana marga liya.
8 usake peechhe daud bhee uttkar gufaa se nikala aur shaaul ko peechhe se pukar ke bola, he meere prabhu, he raja. jab shaaul ne fir ke dekha, tab daud ne boomi kee or sir jhukakar dandvata kee.
9 aur daud ne shaaul se kaha, jo manushy kahate haai, ki daud teree hani chahata haai unakee too kyon sunata haai?
10 dek, aj too ne apanee ankhon se dekha haai ki yahova ne aj gufaa men tujhe mere hath saunp diya tha aur kisee kisee ne to mujh se tujhe marane ko kaha tha, parantu mujhe tujh par taras aya aur maain ne kaha, maain apane prabhu par hath n chalaunga kyonki vah yahova ka abhaishaikt haai.
11 fir, he mere pita, dek, apane bage kee chhor mere hath men dekh maain ne tere bage kee chhor to katt lee, parantu tujhe ghaat n kiya is se nishchay karake jan le, ki meere man men koi burai va aparadha ka soch naheen haai. aur maain ne tera kuchh aparadha naheen kiya, parantu too mere praan lene ko mano usaka aher karata rahata haai.
12 yahova mera aur tera nyay kare, aur yahova tujh se mera palatta le parantu mera hath tujh par n uttega.
13 praacheenon ke neeti vachan ke anusar dushttta dushtton se hotee haai parantu mera hath tujh par n uttega.
14 israael ka raja kis ka peechha karane ko nikala haai? aur kis ke peechhe pada haai? aek mare kutte ke peechhe! aek pissoo ke peechhe!
15 isaliye yahova nyayee hokar mera tera vichar kare, aur vichar karake mera mukama lade, aur nyay karake mujhe tere hath se bachaae.
16 daud shaaul se ye baten kahee chuka tha, ki shaaul ne kaha, he mere bette daud, kya yah tera bol haai? tab shaaul chillakar rone laga.
17 fir us ne daud se kaha, too mujh se adhaik dharmee haai too ne to mere sath bhlai kee haai, parantu maain ne tere sath burai kee.
18 aur too ne aj yah pragatt kiya haai, ki too ne mere sath bhlai kee haai, ki jab yahova ne mujhe tere hath men kar diya, tab too ne mujhe ghaat n kiya.
19 bhla! kya koi manushy apane shatra ko pakar kushal se jane deta haai? isaaliye jo too ne aj mere sath kiya haai, isaka achchha badala yahova tujhe de.
20 aur ab, mujhe maloom hua haai ki too nishchay raja ko jaaega, aur israael ka rajy tere hath men sthiar hoga.
21 ab mujh se yahova kee shapath kha, ki maain tere vansh ko tere peechhe nash n karoonga, aur tere pita ke gharane men se tera nam mitta n daloonga.
22 tab daud ne shaaul se aeesee hee shapath khai. tab shaaul apane ghar chala gaya aur daud apane janon samet gaddhon men chala gaya.
