ପ୍ରଥମ ଶାମୁୟେଲ 23:14-18

14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

16 And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

17 And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

18 And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.

14 ଦାଉଦ ମରକ୍ସ୍ଟଭୂମିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ ଏବଂ ସଠାେରେ ଏକ ସକ୍ସ୍ଟରକ୍ଷିତ ସ୍ଥାନ ଭିତ ରେ ବାସ କଲେ। ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ସୀଫର ପାର୍ବତ୍ଯମଯ ଦେଶ ରେ ବାସ କଲେ, ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ଶାଉଲ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ତାଙ୍କର ଅନ୍ବଷେଣ କଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ଦେଲେ ନାହିଁ।
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

15 ଏହାପରେ ଦାଉଦ ଜାଣିଲେ ଯେ, ଶାଉଲ ତାଙ୍କୁ ମାରିବା ପାଇଁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଛନ୍ତି। ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଦାଉଦ ସୀଫ ମରକ୍ସ୍ଟଭୂମିସ୍ଥ ହୋ ରେଶ ରେ ଥିଲେ।
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

16 ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲା। ତାଙ୍କୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଏକ ଦୃଢ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିବା ରେ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କଲା।
And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

17 ଯୋନାଥନ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲା, ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ। ମାରେ ପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମାରି ପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ରାଜା ହବେ। ଏବଂ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ହବେି। ଏହା ମଧ୍ଯ ମାରେ ବାପା ଶାଉଲ ଜାଣନ୍ତି।
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

18 ଏହାପରେ ସେ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହେଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଏକ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କଲେ। ତେଣୁ ଦାଉଦ ହୋ ରେଶ ରେ ରହିଲେ ଏବଂ ଯୋନାଥନ ସ୍ବଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପ୍ରତ୍ଯାବର୍ତ୍ତନ କଲା।
And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
