1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Na ka rere a Rawiri i Naioto o Rama, a ka tae, ka korero ki a Honatana, I aha ahau? he aha toku he? he aha hoki toku hara i te aroaro o tou papa, i whai ai ia kia whakamatea ahau?
2 And he said unto him, Elohim forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Kahore rapea, e kore koe e mate; nana, e kore e meatia e toku papa tetahi mea, nui, iti ranei; ki te kahore e whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau: a he aha tenei mea e huna ai e toku papa i ahau? ehara tena.
3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found favour in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as YHWH liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
Na ka oati ano a Rawiri, ka mea, E tino mohio ana tou papa kua manakohia ahau e koe; koia ia i mea ia, Kei mohiotia tenei e Honatana, kei pouri ia: otiia e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, he hikoinga kotahi noa ko te mate moku.
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
Katahi a Honatana ka mea ki a Rawiri, He aha nei te mea e hiahiatia ana e tou wairua, ka meatia tonutia e ahau mau.
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Honatana, Nana, apopo ka kowhiti te marama, a ko te tikanga kia noho tahi ai ahau me te kingi ki te kai; na tukua ahau kia haere, kia piri ai ahau ki te parae a te ahiahi ra ano o te toru o nga ra.
6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Ki te ui ia tou papa mo toku ngaro, ko reira koe ka ki atu, I tono kaha a Rawiri ki ahau kia tukua ia kia rere ki tona pa, ki Peterehema: kei reira hoki te patunga tapu o te tau ma te hapu katoa.
7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Ki te penei mai tana ki, E pai ana; ka mau te rongo ki tau pononga: e nui rawa ia tona riri, katahi koe ka mohio kua takoto te kino i a ia.
8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of YHWH with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Na reira kia pai tau mahi ki tau pononga, nau nei hoki i mea tau pononga kia uru taua ki ta Ihowa kawenata. Otiia ki te mea he kino toku, mau ahau e whakamate; kia kawea atu hoki ahau e koe ki tou papa hei aha?
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
Na ka mea a Honatana, Kaua tena e meatia ki a koe: engari ki te mohio kau ahau kua takoto i toku papa kia whakapakia he kino ki a koe, e kore ianei e korerotia e ahau ki a koe?
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
Katahi a Rawiri ka mea ki a Honatana, Ma wai e korero ki ahau, ki te pakeke te kupu e whakahokia e tou papa ki a koe?
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Ano ra ko Honatana ki a Rawiri, Haere mai, taua ka haere ki te parae. Na haere ana raua tokorua ki te parae.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, O YHWH Elohim of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
Na ka mea a Honatana ki a Rawiri, Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o Iharaira, hei kaititiro; maku e rapu te whakaaro o toku papa i tenei wa pea apopo, i te toru ranei o nga ra: ki te mea he pai mo Rawiri, e kore ianei ahau e tuku tonu atu, e whakaatu ki a koe?
13 YHWH do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and YHWH be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
Kia meatia tenei e Ihowa ki a Honatana, me etahi atu mea: pena he kino ta toku papa e pai ai mou, a ka kore ahau e whakaatu ki a koe, ka tuku i a koe kia haere i runga i te rangimarie: a kia noho a Ihowa ki a koe kia pera me ia i noho ki toku pa pa.
14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of YHWH, that I die not:
A kaua ano e waiho i toku oranga anake tau whakaputa i to Ihowa aroha ki ahau, kia kaua ahau e mate;
15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when YHWH hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Kauaka ano hoki e hautopea atu tou aroha ki toku whare a ake ake: kauaka rawa, ina hautopea atu e Ihowa nga hoariri katoa o Rawiri i te mata o te whenua.
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let YHWH even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
Heoi ka whakarite kawenata a Honatana ki te whare o Rawiri, ka mea, Kia rapu utu ano a Ihowa i te ringa o nga hoariri o Rawiri.
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
A i mea a Honatana kia oati ano a Rawiri; he aroha hoki nona ki a ia: i aroha hoki ia ki a ia, me te mea ko te aroha ki tona wairua ake.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
Katahi a Honatana ka mea ki a ia, Apopo te kowhiti ai te marama; a ka kitea tou ngaromanga, ka takoto kau hoki tou nohoanga.
19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
A ka toru ou ra e noho ana, kia hohoro tou haere ki raro, a ka tae ki te wahi i piri ai koe i te ra i korerotia ai, a ka noho ki te taha o Etere kohatu.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
A maku e kopere etahi pere kia toru ki tona taha, ano e kopere ana ki tetahi koperenga pere.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as YHWH liveth.
Na ka tono ahau i te tamaiti, Tikina, rapua nga pere. Ki te mea atu ahau ki te tamaiti, Nei na nga pere, kei tenei taha ou, tikina mai; katahi koe ka haere mai; e mau ana hoki te rongo ki a koe, kahore hoki he rawa, e ora ana a Ihowa.
22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for YHWH hath sent thee away.
Ki te penei ia taku ki atu ki te tamaiti, Na, ko nga pere, kei tua atu i a koe: katahi koe ka haere atu: he mea tono hoki koe na Ihowa.
23 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, YHWH be between thee and me for ever.
Na, ko tenei mea i korerotia nei e taua, nana, kei waenganui i a taua a Ihowa a ake ake.
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
Heoi piri ana a Rawiri ki te parae: a, i te kowhititanga o te marama ka noho te kingi ki te kai.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
A i te noho te kingi ki tona nohoanga o mua iho, ki te nohoanga i te pakitara: i whakatika ano hoki a Honatana, a ka noho a Apenere ki te taha o Haora; na e takoto kau ana to Rawiri wahi.
26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Ahakoa ra kihai i puaki tetahi kupu a Haora i taua ra: i mea hoki ia, Kua pa tetahi mea ki a ia, kahore ano kia kore noa tona poke; ina kahore ano kia kore noa tona poke.
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
Na i te aonga ake, ara i te rua o nga ra o te marama, e takoto kau ana ano to Rawiri wahi. Na ka mea a Haora ki tana tama, ki a Honatana, Na te aha te tama a Hehe te haere mai ai ki te kai inanahi, inaianei?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
Na ka utua e Honatana ki a Haora, I tono kaha a Rawiri ki ahau kia tukua ia kia haere ki Peterehema:
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia haere, he patunga tapu hoki ta to matou hapu i taua pa; na toku tuakana pu ano hoki ahau i poroaki mai: na ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tukua ahau kia rere atu kia kite i oku tuakana. Koia ia te haere mai ai ki te tepu a te kingi.
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
Ko te tino muranga o te riri o Haora ki a Honatana, ka mea ki a ia, E te tama a te wahine parori ke, tutu! Kahore ranei ahau i te mohio kua tango koe i te tama a Hehe, hei mea whakama ki a koe tonu, hei mea whakama hoki ki te hahaketanga o tou w haea?
31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
I nga ra katoa e ora ai te tama a Hehe ki runga ki te whenua, e kore koe e tu, me tou rangatiratanga. Na, tonoa kia tikina ia ki ahau, kua tino takoto hoki te mate mona.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
Na ka whakahoki a Honatana ki tona papa, ka mea ki a ia, Kia whakamatea ia mo te aha? i aha ia?
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
Na ko te werohanga a Haora i te tao ki a ia, hei patu mona. Katahi a Honatana ka mohio kua takoto i tona papa te mate mo Rawiri.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Heoi ka whakatika atu a Honatana i te tepu, mura tonu hoki tona riri, kihai ano i kai i te rua o nga ra o te marama: i pouri hoki ia mo Rawiri, mona i meinga e tona papa kia whakama.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Na i te ata ka haere a Honatana ki te parae i te wa i whakaritea ki a Rawiri, raua ko tetahi tamaiti nohinohi.
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Na ka mea ia ki taua tamaiti, Rere atu ki te rapu i nga pere e koperea atu ana e ahau. Ko te rerenga atu o te tamaiti, na koperea atu ana e ia he pere ki ko noa atu i a ia.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
A, no te taenga atu o te tamaiti ki te wahi i te pere i koperea nei e Honatana, ka karanga a Honatana i muri i te tamaiti, ka mea, Kahore iana te pere i ko atu i a koe na?
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Na ka karanga ano a Honatana i muri i taua tamaiti, Kia kakama, kia hohoro, kaua e tu. Na kohikohia ana nga pere e te tamaiti a Honatana, a haere mai ana ki tona rangatira.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Otiia kihai tetahi mea i mohiotia e taua tamaiti; engari a Honatana raua ko Rawiri, i mohio raua ki tona tikanga.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Na ka hoatu e Honatana ana patu ki tana tamaiti, ka mea ki a ia, Haere, kawea atu ki te pa.
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
A, no te haerenga o taua tamaiti, na ka whakatika mai a Rawiri i te taha ki te tonga, a ka tapapa ki te whenua, e toru hoki ona pikonga iho. Na ka kihi raua i a raua, ka tangi hoki tetahi ki tetahi, a rahi noa ake ta Rawiri.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of YHWH, saying, YHWH be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Na ka mea a Honatana ki a Rawiri, Haere i runga i te rangimarie. Kua oati nei hoki taua i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, kua mea taua, Hei waenganui a Ihowa i a taua hei waenganui hoki i oku uri, i ou uri mo ake tonu atu. Na whakatika ana ia, a haere ana; ko Honatana hoki i haere ki te pa.
