1 Samuel 20
1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? How have I sinned against your father, that he wants to take my life?”
David el kaingla liki acn Naioth in Ramah ac som nu yorol Jonathan. El siyuk sel Jonathan, “Ku mea nga oru? Ma koluk fuka nga orala? Ya oasr ma nga oru in lain papa tomom pwanang el suk elan uniyuwi?”
2 “Far from it!” Jonathan replied. “You will not die. Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!”
Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “Ac tia ouinge! Kom fah tia misa! Ma nukewa papa tumuk el oru el muta fahk nu sik, ma srisrik nu ke ma yohk, na pa el tia ku in okanla ma se inge likiyu. Tiana ku in ouinge!”
3 But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”
Ac David el fahk, “Papa tomom el etu na lupan lungse lom nu sik, na pa el sulela elan tia fahk nu sum ma el akoo in oru inge, mweyen el etu lah kom ac arulana toasr kac. Nga fulahk nu sum ke Inen LEUM GOD moul lah kutu srisrik na ngan misa!”
4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you desire, I will do for you.”
Jonathan el fahk, “Kutena ma kom lungse nga in oru, nga ac oru.”
5 So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now.
Na David el fahk, “Kufwen Malem Sasu pa ac orek lutu, na ac fal nga in muta yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo. Tusruktu fin wo sum, nga ac som wikla inimae nwe ke eku in ulela.
6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David urgently requested my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because there is an annual sacrifice for his whole clan.’
Papa tomom el fin akilen lah nga wangin ke tepu lal an, kom fah fahk nu sel mu nga tuh kwafe sum nga in sulaklak som nu acn sik uh Bethlehem, mweyen pa inge pacl se sou luk nufon elos orek kisa ke yac se inge.
7 If he says, ‘Good,’ then your servant is safe, but if he is enraged, you will know he has evil intentions.
Na el fin fahk mu ‘Wona,’ na wangin ma nga ac fosrnga kac. A el fin kasrkusrak, na kom fah etu na lah oasr ma upa el akoo in oru nu sik.
8 Therefore deal faithfully with your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the LORD. If there is iniquity in me, then kill me yourself; why should you bring me to your father?”
Nga siyuk kom in nunak munas ac sruokyana wulela mutal kom tuh oru inmasrlok kom. Tusruktu fin oasr mwetik, na kom sifacna uniyuwi. Mwe mea kom in usyula nu yurin papa tomom in tuh anwuki nga?”
9 “Never!” Jonathan replied. “If I ever found out that my father had evil intentions against you, would I not tell you?”
Jonathan el fahk, “Nimet kom nunak ouingan! Nga funu etu na pwaye lah papa tumuk el akoo in oru ma upa nu sum, ya nga ku in tia fahk nu sum?”
10 Then David asked Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
Na David el siyuk, “Papa tomom el fin kasrkusrak topuk kom, na su ac fahkma nu sik?”
11 “Come,” he replied, “let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out into the field,
Na Jonathan el fahk, “Fahsru kut som nu inimae.” Na eltal som,
12 and Jonathan said, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Lela tuh LEUM GOD lun Israel Elan orek lou inmasrlosr. Ke pacl se inge lutu, oayapa ulela, nga fah kusen siyuk sin papa tumuk. Nunak lal fin wo keim, na nga a akkalemye nu sum.
13 But if my father intends to bring evil on you, then may the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if I do not tell you and send you on your way in safety. May the LORD be with you, just as He has been with my father.
Tuh el fin nunku in akkolukye kom, lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia akkalemye nu sum tuh kom in ku in kaingla. Lela LEUM GOD Elan wi kom oana ke El tuh welul papa tumuk ah.
14 And as long as I live, treat me with the LORD’s loving devotion, that I may not die,
Ac nga fin moul na, kom fah nunak munas sruokya wulela mutal lom nu sik, ac kom in pwayena nu sik. A nga fin misa,
15 and do not ever cut off your loving devotion from my household—not even when the LORD cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
na kom in akkalemye kulang lom nu sin sou luk nwe tok. Ac LEUM GOD El fin kunausla mwet lokoalok lom nukewa,
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David’s enemies accountable.”
lela tuh wulela se inmasrloktal in tiana musalla. Fin musalla, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kom.”
17 And Jonathan had David reaffirm his vow out of love for him, for Jonathan loved David as he loved himself.
Na Jonathan el sifilpa sap David elan wulela mu el ac lungse na el, mweyen Jonathan el lungse na pwaye David oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon, and you will be missed if your seat is empty.
Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kalem lah kom fin wangin liki tepu in mongo lutu, ac fah akilenyuk, mweyen Kufwen Malem Sasu lutu.
19 When you have stayed three days, hurry down to the place you hid on the day this trouble began, and remain beside the stone Ezel.
Ac ulela kom fin wangin pac, ac arulana akilenyuk lah kom wangin. Ke ma inge, wona kom in sifil som wikla acn se na ma kom tuh wikla we meet ah, tukun yol in eot sac.
20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as if I were aiming at a target.
Na nga fah pusrkaot sukan pisr tolkwe nu ke yol in eot sac, in mu nga pisr in akoalel.
21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ Now, if I expressly say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them,’ then come, because as surely as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.
Na nga ac supwaot sie mwet kulansap luk in fahsrot suk. Nga fin fahk nu sel, ‘Liye, sukan pisr uh oan layenu liki kom. Fahla use,’ kalmac pa ma nukewa wo, ac kom ku in ilme. Nga fulahk ke LEUM GOD moul lah wangin mwe fosrnga nu sum.
22 But if I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, for the LORD has sent you away.
A nga fin fahk nu sin mwet kulansap luk mu, ‘Sukan pisr uh oan layeno liki kom,’ na kom fah kaing, mweyen LEUM GOD pa supwekom inge.
23 And as for the matter you and I have discussed, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever.”
Ac nu ke wulela se kital orala inmasrloktal uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in oan ma pahtpat.”
24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat.
Na David el som wikla inimae. Ke pacl in Kufwen Malem Sasu, Tokosra Saul el tuku nu ke tepu uh
25 He sat in his usual place by the wall, opposite Jonathan and beside Abner, but David’s place was empty.
ac el muta ke nien muta lal sisken pesinka uh. Abner el muta siskal, ac Jonathan el muta ke la tepu uh ngetang nu yoroltal. Acn in muta lal David uh oalalla.
26 Saul said nothing that day because he thought, “Something has happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”
Wangin ma Saul el fahk kac ke len sac, mweyen el nunku mu sahp oasr sripa se sikyak ac David el tia nasnas fal nu ke alu lalos.
27 But on the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?”
Ke len se akluo ah, len se tukun Kufwen Malem Sasu, nien muta lal David ke tepu uh srakna oalal, ac Saul el siyuk sel Jonathan, “Efu ku David el tia tuku nu ke tepu uh ekea, sifilpa misenge?”
28 Jonathan answered, “David urgently requested my permission to go to Bethlehem,
Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “El tuh kwafe sik ngan fuhlella elan som nu Bethlehem.
29 saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he did not come to the king’s table.”
El fahk ouinge nu sik, ‘Nunak munas filiyula ngan som, tuh sou luk elos orek kisa ke acn sesr uh, ac tamulel luk el sap nga in som welulos. Na pa kom fin mwet kawuk luk, filiyula nga in som nu yurin sou luk.’ Pa inge sripa se sis el wangin liki nien mutal lal ke tepu lun tokosra.”
30 Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the disgrace of the mother who bore you?
Saul el foloyak sel Jonathan ac fahk nu sel, “Kom wen nutin sie mutan likkeke ac seakos! Inge nga etu na lah kom welul David lac, ac kom sifacna akmwekinye kom ac nina kiom ah!
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingship shall be established. Now send for him and bring him to me, for he must surely die!”
Mea, kom nikin lah ke lusenna moul lal David, kom ac tia ku in tokosra fin facl se inge? Fahla ingena ac usalu. El enenu na elan misa!”
32 “Why must he be put to death?” Jonathan replied. “What has he done?”
Ac Jonathan el siyuk, “Ku efu ku elan misa? Mea el orala?”
33 Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David.
Na Saul el kipakin osra natul ah nu kacl Jonathan in unilya, ac Jonathan el fah kalem lah Saul el nunku na pwaye elan unilya David.
34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger and did not eat any food that second day of the month, for he was grieved by his father’s shameful treatment of David.
Ac Jonathan el kasrkusrak ac tuyak liki tepu ah, ac el tia mongo in len sac nufon — len se akluo ke Kufwen Malem Sasu. El arulana asor kacl David ke sripen Saul el fahk kas na upa kacl.
35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a small boy was with him.
Lotutang in len tok ah, Jonathan el som nu inimae in sonol David, in oana ma eltal tuh aetuila kac. El us tulik mukul fusr se welul,
36 He said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” And as the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
na el fahk nu sel, “Yuwot ac suk sukan pisr nga ac pusrkaot inge.” Tulik sac kasrusr yula, ac Jonathan el pusrkala pisr soko ah alukela tulik sac.
37 When the boy reached the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called to him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
Ke tulik sac sun acn se ma sukan pisr soko ah putati we ah, Jonathan el wowo nu sin tulik sac ac fahk, “Sukan pisr soko ah pa oemeeto!
38 Then Jonathan cried out, “Hurry! Make haste! Do not delay!” So the boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Nimet tu na insacn! Sulaklak!” Tulik sac el srukak sukan pisr soko ah, ac el use nu yurin mwet kacto lal.
39 But the boy did not know anything; only Jonathan and David knew the arrangement.
Tulik sac tiana etu lah mea kalmen ma inge. Jonathan ac David mukena pa kalem kac uh.
40 Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the boy and said, “Go, take it back to the city.”
Na Jonathan el sang kufwen mwe pisr natul nu sin tulik sac, ac sap elan us som nu in siti uh.
41 When the young man had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone, fell facedown, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and wept together—though David wept more.
Tukun tulik sac som, David el tuyak liki yol in eot se el wikwik we, ac el sikukmutunte ac faksufi pacl tolu. Na el Jonathan tukeni tung ac angokmwet sie sin sie, ac asor lal David tuh yohk liki asor lal Jonathan.
42 And Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be a witness between you and me, and between your descendants and mine forever.’” Then David got up and departed, and Jonathan went back into the city.
Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “God Elan wi kom. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum, oayapa nga ac fwil nutik, in sruokyana wulela mutal se su nga kom orala inmasrloktal tuh in oan ma pahtpat.” Na David el som, ac Jonathan el folok nu in siti uh.
