1 Samuel 18
1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
A ka mutu tana korero ki a Haora, na piri tonu te wairua o Honatana ki te wairua o Rawiri, a aroha ana a Honatana ki a ia me te mea ko tona wairua ake.
2 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Na ka mau a Haora ki a ia i taua ra, kihai hoki ia i tukua kia hoki ki te whare o tona papa.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
I whakarite kawenata ano a Honatana raua ko Rawiri; i arohaina hoki ia e ia, me te mea ko tona wairua ake.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
I huia ano e Honatana tona koroka i runga i a ia, a hoatu ana ki a Rawiri, me ona kakahu, tae noa ki tana hoari, me tana kopere, me tona whitiki.
5 Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Na ka haere a Rawiri ki nga wahi katoa i tonoa ai ia e Haora, ka mahi tupato; a ka meinga ia e Haora hei rangatira mo nga tangata whawhai, a pai tonu ia ki te titiro a te iwi katoa, ki te titiro ano hoki a nga tangata a Haora.
6 It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Na i to ratou haerenga mai, i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka puta nga wahine i nga pa katoa o Iharaira, me te waiata, me te kanikani, me nga timipera, me te koa, me nga mea whakatangi, ki te whakatau i a Kingi Haora.
7 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
Na ka waiata whakatene nga wahine i a ratou e takaro ana, ka mea, Na Haora ana mano, na Rawiri ana tekau mano i patu.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
Na nui rawa te riri o Haora; he mea kino hoki taua kupu ki tona whakaaro. Na ka mea ia, Tekau a ratou mano i hoatu ai ki a Rawiri, he mano kau nei a ratou i homai nei ki ahau: ko te aha ake mana ki te kahore te kingitanga?
9 Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
Na whakatau ana te kanohi o Haora ki a Rawiri no taua ra tonu iho.
10 It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
Na i te aonga ake ka puta kaha mai he wairua kino i te Atua ki a Haora, a ka poropiti ia i waenganui o te whare; a ka whakatangi te ringa o Rawiri i te hapa, ko tana hanga i tena ra, i tena ra: he tao ano i te ringa o Haora:
11 and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
Ko te tino werohanga a Haora i te tao; i mea hoki ia, Me patu a Rawiri e ahau, kia titi rawa ki te pakitara. Na karohia ana e Rawiri: e rua nga mawhititanga i tona aroaro.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Na ka wehi a Haora i a Rawiri, no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, a kua mawehe i a Haora.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Koia i wehea atu ai ia e Haora i a ia, a meinga ana ia e ia ko tana rangatira mano: na ka haere atu ia, ka haere mai i te aroaro o te iwi.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
Na tupato tonu te whakahaere a Rawiri i ona ara katoa: i a ia ano a Ihowa.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
A, i te kitenga o Haora he tangata tupato rawa ia, ka wehi ia i a ia.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
A i aroha a Iharaira katoa ratou ko Hura ki a Rawiri, no te mea i haere atu ia, i haere mai i to ratou aroaro.
17 Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, Nana, taku tamahine matamua, a Merapa, me hoatu e ahau hei wahine mau, otiia ko koe hei toa maku, hei whawhai i nga whawhai a Ihowa. I mea hoki a Haora, Kaua toku ringa e pa ki a ia; engari kia pa te ringa o nga Pi rihitini ki a ia.
18 David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Ko wai ahau, he oranga aha hoki toku, he hapu aha to toku papa i roto i a Iharaira, e meinga ai ahau hei hunaonga me te kingi?
19 But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
I te wa ia e homai ai a Merapa, te tamahine a Haora ma Rawiri, na ka hoatu ia hei wahine ma Atariere o Mehora.
20 Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Na i aroha a Mikara, te tamahine a Haora ki a Rawiri, a ka korerotia ki a Haora, a he mea ahuareka tena ki tona whakaaro.
21 And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
Na ka mea a Haora, Me hoatu ia e ahau ki a ia a hei rore ia mona e pa ai te ringa o nga Pirihitini ki a ia. Koia a Haora i mea ai ki a Rawiri, Ko aianei te rua o ou meatanga hei hunaonga maku.
22 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
Na ka whakahau a Haora ki ana tangata, Korero puku ki a Rawiri, mea atu, Nana, e whakaahuareka ana te kingi ki a koe, e aroha ana hoki ana tangata katoa ki a koe: na reira ko koe hei hunaonga ma te kingi.
23 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
Na korerotia ana aua kupu e nga tangata a Haora ki nga taringa o Rawiri. A ka mea a Rawiri, He mea noa iho koia ki a koutou kia meinga ahau hei hunaonga ma te kingi, he rawakore nei hoki ahau, he ware?
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
Na ka korero nga tangata a Haora ki a ia, ka mea, ko nga kupu enei i puaki mai i a Rawiri.
25 Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Na ka mea a Haora, Kia penei ta koutou ki ki a Rawiri, Kahore o te kingi hiahia ki te kaipakuha; engari ki nga kiri matamata kotahi rau o nga Pirihitini: kia whai utu ai i nga hoariri o te kingi. I whakaaro hoki a Haora kia hinga a Rawiri i te r inga o nga Pirihitini.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
A, no ka korerotia e ana tangata enei kupu ki a Rawiri, ahuareka tonu ki a Rawiri kia meinga ia hei hunaonga ma te kingi. A kahore ano nga ra kia rite.
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ratou ko ana tangata, na patua iho e ia o nga Pirihitini e rua rau nga tangata; a kawea ana e Rawiri o ratou kiri matamata; na hoatu ana e ratou ki te kingi te mea e rite ana, kia meinga ai ia hei hunaonga m a te kingi. Na ka homai e Haora a Mikara, tana tamahine hei wahine mana.
28 When Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
A i kite a Haora, i mohio, kei a Rawiri a Ihowa; a i arohaina ia e Mikara tamahine a Haora.
29 then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
Na ka nui rawa atu te wehi o Haora i a Rawiri; a he ito a Rawiri ki a Haora i nga ra katoa.
30 Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
Katahi ka whakaputa nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, a i nga wa katoa i whakaputa ai ratou, nui atu te tika o te ngarahu a Rawiri i ta nga tangata katoa a Haora; koia i tino matea nuitia ai tona ingoa.
