1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David.
Awo Sawulo n’agamba mutabani we Yonasaani, n’abaweereza be bonna, batte Dawudi. Naye Yonasaani yayagalanga nnyo Dawudi,
2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill thee; and now, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place and hide thyself;
bw’atyo n’amulabula ng’agamba nti, “Kitange Sawulo anoonya bw’anaayinza okukutta. Weekuume enkya ku makya, weekweke mu kifo ekikusifu obeere eyo.
3 and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and will speak of thee with my father: and see what it is, and tell thee.
Nnaagenda ne nnyimirira ne kitange mu nnimiro, w’onoobeera, ne njogera naye ku bikukwatako, n’oluvannyuma nzija kujja nkutegeeze bye nnaazuula.”
4 And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee;
Awo Yonasaani n’ayogera bulungi ku Dawudi eri Sawulo kitaawe ng’agamba nti, “Kabaka aleme okukola akabi ku muddu we Dawudi, kubanga talina kyakukoze, era akuweereza bulungi nnyo mu mirimu egy’omugaso.
5 for he put his life in hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou didst see [it], and didst rejoice; why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, in slaying David without cause?
Yeewaayo n’atta Omufirisuuti; Mukama n’aleetera Isirayiri yenna, obuwanguzi obw’ekitalo, n’okiraba n’osanyuka. Lwaki oyigganya omuntu nga Dawudi ataliiko musango, n’oyagala okumutta awatali nsonga?”
6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, [As] Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death!
Sawulo n’awuliriza Yonasaani, era n’amulayirira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, Dawudi tajja kuttibwa.”
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan declared to him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.
Awo Yonasaani n’ayita Dawudi, n’amutegeeza byonna. N’amuleeta eri Sawulo, Dawudi n’addamu n’aweereza Sawulo ng’olubereberye.
8 And there was war again; and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Ne wagwawo olutalo nate, Dawudi n’agenda okulwana n’Abafirisuuti, n’abakuba n’atta bangi ku bo, abaasigalawo ne badduka.
9 And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul. And he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.
Awo omwoyo omubi okuva eri Mukama ne gujja ku Sawulo bwe yali ng’atudde mu nnyumba ye, ng’akutte effumu mu mukono, Dawudi bwe yali ng’akuba entongooli.
10 And Saul sought to smite David and the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped that night.
Sawulo n’agezaako okumufumitira ku kisenge n’effumu, naye Dawudi n’alyewoma, ne likwasa ekisenge. Ekiro ekyo Dawudi n’adduka n’awona.
11 And Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be put to death.
Sawulo n’atuma ababaka bagende bakuume ennyumba ya Dawudi, bamutte enkeera. Naye Mikali mukyala wa Dawudi n’amulabula n’amugamba nti, “Bw’otodduke kiro kino, bwe bunaakya bajja kukutta.”
12 And Michal let David down through a window; and he went, and fled and escaped.
Awo Mikali n’assiza Dawudi mu ddirisa, n’adduka n’agenda ne yeekweka.
13 And Michal took the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' [hair] at its head, and covered it with the coverlet.
Mikali n’addira ekifaananyi ekyole n’akiteeka ku kitanda, n’akibikkako olugoye, n’assa n’ebyoya eby’embuzi ku mutwe gwakyo.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and she said, He is sick.
Awo Sawulo bwe yatumayo ababaka okuwamba Dawudi, Mikali n’abagamba nti, “Mulwadde.”
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
Sawulo n’abatuma baddeyo bamulabe era n’abalagira nti, “Mumundeetere mu kitanda kye, mmutte.”
16 And the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' [hair] at its head.
Naye abasajja bwe bagenda yo, ne balaba ekifaananyi ekyole mu kitanda, nga ne ku mutwe kuliko ebyoya by’embuzi.
17 Then Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I slay thee?
Sawulo n’abuuza Mikali nti, “Lwaki wannimbye bw’otyo, n’oleka omulabe wange okudduka, n’okuwona n’awona?” Mikali n’amuddamu nti, “Yaŋŋambye nti, ‘Bw’otondeke kugenda nzija kukutta.’”
18 And David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
Awo Dawudi n’addukira eri Samwiri e Laama, n’amutegeeza byonna Sawulo bye yamukola. Ye ne Samwiri ne bagenda e Nayosi ne babeera eyo.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth by Ramah.
Sawulo n’ategeezebwa nti, “Dawudi ali Nayosi mu Laama;”
20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
n’atuma ababaka okumuwamba. Naye bwe baalaba ekibiina kya bannabbi nga boogera eby’obunnabbi, nga Samwiri ye mukulembeze waabwe, Omwoyo wa Katonda n’akka ku basajja ba Sawulo, nabo ne baba nga bali.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Awo Sawulo bwe yategeezebwa ekibaddewo, n’atuma ababaka abalala nabo ne baba nga bali. Sawulo n’atuma ekibinja ekyokusatu, era nabo ne baba nga bali.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Sechu; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, at Naioth by Ramah.
Ekyavaamu, ye yennyini kwe kugenda e Laama, n’atuuka awali oluzzi olunene oluli e Seku, n’abuuza nti, “Samwiri ne Dawudi bali ludda wa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bali Nayosi mu Laama.”
23 And he went thither to Naioth by Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth by Ramah.
Awo Sawulo n’agenda e Nayosi mu Laama, naye Omwoyo wa Mukama n’amukkako, n’atambula ng’ayogera eby’obunnabbi okutuuka e Nayosi.
24 And he himself also stripped off his clothes, and prophesied, himself also, before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Ne yeyambula ebyambalo bye, n’atandika okwogera nga bannabbi mu maaso ga Samwiri. N’abeera bw’atyo olunaku lwonna n’okuzibya obudde. Abantu kyebaava boogera nti, “Ne Sawulo ali mu bannabbi?”
