4 Kɛkɛ ni Yonatan kɛɛ David akɛ: “Nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni obaawie lɛ,* mafee mahã bo.” 5 David kɛɛ Yonatan akɛ: “Nyɔɔŋ hee+ lɛ baaje wɔ́, ni bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni fee lɛ, esa akɛ mikɛ maŋtsɛ lɛ ata shi kɛye nii; hã maya ni miyatee yɛ ŋa lɛ nɔ kɛyashi gbi ni ji etɛ lɛ gbɛkɛ. 6 Kɛ́ opapa bi mishi lɛ, kɛɛmɔ lɛ akɛ, ‘David kpa mi fai ni miŋmɛ lɛ gbɛ ni esha foi kɛya emaŋ Betlehem,+ ejaakɛ aashã daa afi afɔle aahã eshĩabii lɛ fɛɛ yɛ jɛmɛ.’+ 7 Kɛ́ ekɛɛ, ‘Yoo, efeee nɔ ko’ lɛ, belɛ otsulɔ baaná toiŋjɔlɛ.

18 Kɛkɛ ni Yonatan kɛɛ lɛ akɛ: “Nyɔɔŋ hee+ lɛ baaje wɔ́, ni no hewɔ lɛ abaabi oshi, ejaakɛ osɛi lɛ nɔ baakã shi efolo. 19 Ni yɛ gbi ni ji etɛ lɛ nɔ lɛ, bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni fee lɛ abaabi oshi, no hewɔ lɛ, yaa he ni nyɛsɛɛ lɛ* oyatee ohe yɛ lɛ, ni ohi tɛ lɛ ni yɔɔ biɛ lɛ masɛi. 20 Matsɛ̃rɛ̃ gãimlibii etɛ mawo tɛ lɛ afã kome, tamɔ nɔ ni miitsɛ̃ nɔ ko pɔtɛɛ gãi. 21 Kɛ́ mitsu sɔɔlɔ lɛ, makɛɛ lɛ akɛ, ‘Yaa ni oyatao gãimlibii lɛ.’ Kɛ́ mikɛɛ sɔɔlɔ lɛ akɛ, ‘Naa!

24 No hewɔ lɛ, David yatee ehe yɛ ŋa lɛ nɔ. Be ni nyɔɔŋ hee lɛ je lɛ, maŋtsɛ lɛ yata niyenii lɛ sɛɛ koni eye nii.+ 25 No mli lɛ, maŋtsɛ lɛ ta shi yɛ he ni efɔɔ tamɔ yɛ gbogbo lɛ he lɛ.

Kɛkɛ ni Saul bi ebinuu Yonatan akɛ: “Mɛni hewɔ Yishai+ binuu lɛ baaa niyeli nyɛ kɛ ŋmɛnɛ fɛɛ lɛ?” 28 Yonatan kɛɛ Saul akɛ: “David kpa mi fai koni miŋmɛ lɛ gbɛ ni eya Betlehem.+ 29 Ekɛɛ mi akɛ, ‘Ofainɛ, ŋmɛɛ mi gbɛ ni maya, ejaakɛ aashã afɔle aahã miweku lɛ yɛ maŋ lɛ mli, ni mi diɛŋtsɛ minyɛmi nuu lɛ tsu ni abatsɛ mi.

32 Shi Yonatan bi etsɛ Saul akɛ: “Mɛni hewɔ esa akɛ agbe lɛ?+ Mɛni efee?” 33 Kɛkɛ ni Saul fɔ̃ akpɔlɔ koni ekɛtsu lɛ,+ no hewɔ lɛ, Yonatan na akɛ, epapa etswa efai shi akɛ ebaagbe David.+ 34 Amrɔ nɔŋŋ ni Yonatan kɛ mlifu te shi yɛ okpɔlɔ lɛ sɛɛ, ni eyeee niyenii ko yɛ gbi ni ji enyɔ lɛ nɔ, ni ji nyɔɔŋ hee lɛ nɔ jetsɛremɔ lɛ, ejaakɛ David sane miidɔ lɛ,+ ni lɛ diɛŋtsɛ epapa eshwie ehiɛ shi.

35 Ni enɔ jetsɛremɔ leebi lɛ, Yonatan tee ŋa lɛ nɔ tamɔ bɔ ni ekɛ David eto lɛ, ni sɔɔlɔ oblanyo ko fata ehe kɛtee.+ 36 Ni ekɛɛ esɔɔlɔ lɛ akɛ: “Ofainɛ joo foi ni oyatao gãimlibii ni mibatsɛ̃rɛ̃ lɛ.” Ni sɔɔlɔ lɛ jo foi ni Yonatan tsɛ̃ gãi lɛ kɛtɛke lɛ. 37 Be ni sɔɔlɔ lɛ shɛ he ni Yonatan tsɛ̃ gãi lɛ kɛtee lɛ, Yonatan bo etsɛ sɔɔlɔ lɛ ekɛɛ: “Jeee mikɛɛ gãimlibi lɛ etɛke bo?” 38 Yonatan bo etsɛ sɔɔlɔ lɛ ekɛɛ: “Feemɔ mramra!

41 Be ni sɔɔlɔ lɛ shi lɛ, David fã kpo kɛjɛ he ko yɛ jɛmɛ wuoyigbɛ. Kɛkɛ ni ekula shi ni ekɛ ehiɛ bu shi shii etɛ, ni amɛshɔshɔɔ amɛnaa ni amɛfó waa, shi David ni fó fe fɛɛ. 42 Yonatan kɛɛ David akɛ: “Yaa yɛ toiŋjɔlɛ mli, ejaakɛ wɔ fɛɛ wɔkã kitã+ yɛ Yehowa gbɛ́i mli akɛ, ‘Yehowa afee odasefonyo yɛ mi kɛ bo teŋ, kɛ agbɛnɛ hu, yɛ miseshi* kɛ oseshi* teŋ kɛya naanɔ.’”+
