1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked David,
Saul el fahk nu sel Jonathan, wen natul, ac nu sin mwet pwapa lal nukewa lah el akoo elan unilya David. Tusruktu, Jonathan el arulana lungse David,
2 so he warned him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
na pa el fahkang nu sel David, “Papa tumuk el akoo elan unikomi. Nga kwafe sum tuh kom in arulana taran kom lututang. Som wikla ke sie acn lukma ac mutana we.
3 I'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
Nga ac fah som tu sisken papa tumuk ke ima se kom wikwik we an, ac nga fah sramsram nu sel keim. Fin oasr ma kalem, nga tufah fahk nu sum.”
4 Then Jonathan spoke positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
Jonathan el kaksakunul David nu sel Saul ac fahk, “Lela tokosra elan tia oru kutena ma koluk nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom, mweyen el soenna oru ma koluk nu sum. Ma nukewa el oru mwe kasru yohk nu sum.
5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
El pilesrala moul lal ke el tuh unilya Goliath, ac LEUM GOD El sang kutangla lulap nu sin Israel. Ke kom liye ah, kom engan. Na efu ku kom lungsum in oru ma koluk nu sin mwet se inge su wangin mwatal, ac unilya ke wangin sripa?”
6 Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't be put to death.”
Saul el auliyak ke sripen ma Jonathan el fahk ah, ac el oru sie wulela ku Inen LEUM GOD lah el ac fah tia unilya David.
7 Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul as he had before.
Na Jonathan el pangnolma David ac fahkang ma nukewa nu sel. Na el usalla David nu yorol Saul, ac David el kulansap nu sel Saul oana meet ah.
8 War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
Mwet Philistia elos sifil tuku mweun. David el tuyak ac lainulos ac kutangulosla, ac elos kaing.
9 A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
Sie len ah ngun koluk se sin LEUM GOD sifil sikyang nu sel Saul. El muta in lohm sel, ac osra soko oan inpaol. David el muta yorol ac srital ke harp natul.
10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the night.
Saul el srike elan faksulang David nu pesinka uh ke osra soko ah. Tuh David el iwalla, ac osra soko ah kasiki na nu pesinka ah. Na David el illa ac kaingla.
11 Saul sent some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
In fong sacna, Saul el supwala kutu mwet soan nu lohm sel David, elos in unilya ke lenelik. Michal, mutan kial David, el sensenkakinul ac fahk, “Kom fin tia kaingla ofong, na lutu kom ac anwuki.”
12 Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
Michal el koella David ke winto se, ac el kaingla.
13 Then she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
Na Michal el eis sie ma sruloala ac filiya fin bed kial David ah, ac sang sie ilul ma orek ke unen nani ac filiya ke sifa ah, na el sang kaot se afinya.
14 When Saul sent the messengers to arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
Ke mwet lal Saul tuku in eisal David, Michal el fahk nu selos mu David el mas.
15 Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the bed so I can kill him.”
Na Saul el sifil folokunulosla tuh elos in sifacna liyal David ke mutalos, ac el sapkin nu selos, “Usalu na fin bed kial an, ac nga fah unilya.”
16 But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig on its head.
Na elos utyak nu in lohm sel David ac liye tuh na ma sruloala se pa oan fin bed sac, ac ilul se ma orek ke unen nani oan ke sifa ah.
17 “Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
Saul el siyuk sel Michal, “Efu ku kom kiapweyu ouinge, pwanang mwet lokoalok luk kaingla?” Michal el topuk, “El fahk mu el ac uniyuwi nga fin tia kasrel elan kaingla.”
18 This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
David el kaingla nu yorol Samuel in acn Ramah, ac fahkang ma nukewa ma Saul el oru nu sel. Na David ac Samuel som nu Naioth ac muta we.
19 When Saul got to hear that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
Saul el lohngak lah David el oasr Naioth in Ramah,
20 he sent messengers to arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
na el supwala kutu mwet in som ac sruokilya David. Na elos liye un mwet palu tacn ac sasa, ac Samuel el kololos. Na ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu fin mwet lal Saul inge, na elos wi pac tacn ac sasa.
21 Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
Ke Saul el lohngak lah ouinge, na el sifil supwala kutu mwet lal. Ke mwet inge elos tuku, elos wi pac tacn ac sasa. Na Saul el sifilpa supwala fwil se aktolu, ac elos oru oapana.
22 For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
Na Saul sifacna el mukuiyak in som nu Ramah. Ke el sun lufin kof lulap in acn Secu, el siyuk lah pia acn se Samuel ac David muta we. Fwackyang nu sel mu eltal oasr Naioth.
23 In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
Ke el fahsr in som nu Naioth, ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu facl, ac el fahsr tacn ac sasa nwe ke na el sun acn Naioth.
24 Then Saul also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
El sarukla nuknuk lal ac tacn ac sasa ye mutal Samuel, ac el koflufolla oan in len sac nufon ac fong sac nufon. (Pa inge mutaweyen soakas se fahk mu, “Mea pwaye lah Saul el wela mwet palu?”)
