< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
Sauro akataurira mwanakomana wake Jonatani navaranda vake vose kuti vauraye Dhavhidhi. Asi Jonatani aida Dhavhidhi zvikuru
2 But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:
akamuudza akati, “Baba vangu Sauro vari kutsvaka mukana wokukuuraya. Ungware, mangwana mangwanani; uende undovanda uye ugare ikoko.
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
Ini ndichabuda ndigondomira nababa vangu mumunda maunenge uri. Ndichataura navo pamusoro pako ndigozokuudza zvandinenge ndaona.”
4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good:
Jonatani akataura zvakanaka pamusoro paDhavhidhi kuna Sauro baba vake akati kwavari, “Mambo ngaarege kuita zvakaipa kumuranda wake Dhavhidhi; haana kukutadzirai, uye zvaakaita zvakakubatsirai zvikuru kwazvo.
5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
Akabata upenyu hwake mumaoko ake paakauraya muFiristia. Jehovha akakundira vaIsraeri vose nokukunda kukuru, uye imi makazviona mukafara. Zvino munoitireiko zvakaipa kumunhu asina mhosva saDhavhidhi nokumuuraya pasina chikonzero?”
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
Sauro akateerera kuna Jonatani akaita mhiko iyi achiti, “Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu, Dhavhidhi haangaurayiwi.”
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
Saka Jonatani akadana Dhavhidhi sapamazuva akare akamuudza zvose zvavakanga vataurirana. Akauya naye kuna Sauro, uye Dhavhidhi akava naSauro.
8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
Hondo yakavapozve, Dhavhidhi akabuda akaenda akandorwa navaFiristia. Akavauraya nokuuraya kukuru zvokuti vakatiza pamberi pake.
9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his] hand.
Asi mweya wakaipa wakabva kuna Jehovha wakauya pamusoro paSauro paakanga agere mumba make ane pfumo rake muruoko rwake. Dhavhidhi paakanga achiridza mbira,
10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
Sauro akaedza kumubayira kumadziro nepfumo rake, asi Dhavhidhi akamunzvenga Sauro akabayira pfumo mukati mamadziro. Usiku ihwohwo Dhavhidhi akatiza, akapunyuka.
11 Saul also sent messengers unto 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 shalt be slain.
Sauro akatuma vanhu kumba kwaDhavhidhi kuti vairinde uye kuti vamuuraye mangwanani. Asi Mikari, mukadzi waDhavhidhi, akamuudza kuti, “Kana ukasatiza noupenyu hwako manheru ano, mangwana uchaurayiwa.”
12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Saka Mikari akaburutsa Dhavhidhi napawindo, iye akatiza akapunyuka.
13 And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.
Ipapo Mikari akatora chidhori akachiradzika pamubhedha, akachifukidza nejira akaisa mvere dzembudzi kumusoro wacho.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick.
Sauro akati atuma vanhu kundobata Dhavhidhi, Mikari akati, “Ari kurwara.”
15 And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
Ipapo Sauro akadzorera vanhu kwakare kuti vandoona Dhavhidhi akataura kwavari akati, “Uyai naye kuno kwandiri ari pamubhedha wake kuti ndigomuuraya.”
16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster.
Asi varume vakati vapinda, vakaona kuti pakanga pane chidhori pamubhedha, uye kuti pamusoro wacho paiva nemvere dzembudzi.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
Sauro akati kuna Mikari, “Seiko wakandinyengera kudai uchiendesa muvengi wangu kure kuti apunyuke?” Mikari akamuudza kuti, “Iye ati kwandiri, ‘Ndirege ndiende hangu. Ndichakuurayireiko iwe?’”
18 So 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.
Dhavhidhi akati atiza, apunyuka, akaenda kuna Samueri kuRama akamuudza zvose zvakanga zvaitwa kwaari naSauro. Ipapo iye naSamueri vakaenda kuNayoti vakandogarako.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.
Shoko rakasvika kuna Sauro richiti, “Dhavhidhi ari kuNayoti paRama.”
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
Saka akatuma vanhu kundomubata. Asi vakati vaona boka ravaprofita vachiprofita, naSamueri amire ipapo somutungamiri wavo, Mweya waMwari wakauya pamusoro pavanhu vaSauro, naivowo vakaprofita.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
Sauro akaudzwa nezvazvo, akatumazve vamwe varume, naivowo vakaprofita.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah.
Pakupedzisira, iye akaendawo kuRama akaenda kutsime guru rapaSeku. Zvino akabvunza akati, “Samueri naDhavhidhi varipiko?” Ivo vakati, “Uko kuNayoti paRama.”
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Saka Sauro akaenda kuNayoti paRama. Asi Mweya waMwari wakauya kunyange pamusoro pake, akafamba achiprofita kusvikira kuNayoti.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Akabvisa nguo dzake akaprofitawo pamberi paSamueri uye akavata pasi akashama zuva rose nousiku hwose. Naizvozvo vanhu vanoti, “NaSaurowo ari pakati pavaprofita here?”
